When Wang Xiao arrived in Washington, because the Wizards were at the bottom of the league, the players were all on vacation after the regular season.

But even so, the Wizards still solemnly held a press conference for Wang Xiao, officially announcing Wang Xiao's position as the head coach of the Wizards.

It has been two years since he traveled to this time and space as a coach, and it is the first time that Wang Xiao has such treatment.

In the Wizards' press room, the team's general manager Grunfield talked eloquently on the side, telling how the Wizards chose Wang Xiao as the head coach of the new season, and believed that Wang Xiao would definitely lead the Wizards to achieve good results next season.

There were many reporters gathered in the interview hall, although they were all quietly listening to the general manager's speech, but from their eager expressions, it could be seen that they wanted to ask Wang Xiao a stomach full of questions.

After Grenfield's remarks, it was time for reporters to answer questions and answers.

Immediately, several reporters raised their hands.

Wang Xiao glanced at the reporters. "Third in the second row."

Wang Xiao pointed out a blonde beauty reporter, who stood up and asked her own question with a smile.

"Hello, Coach Wang Xiao, you are the youngest head coach in NBA history, and you are also the first Chinese coach to be hired by the NBA, the selection of the Wizards is undoubtedly a very risky investment, do you think you can integrate well into the team?"

"First, correct it." Wang Xiao responded: "Two years ago, I was the head coach of a team, but I was fired a few weeks later, so the record of the youngest head coach should be the ...... I held two years ago."

Wang Xiao's words caused laughter in the interview hall.

The story of Wang Xiao and the pioneer is still talked about by many people, and the current Wang Xiao is no longer the crazy person that people thought two years ago, but a master with a wise eye.

'As for whether you can integrate well into the team, I think there's no doubt about it, it's a quality that a good coach has to have, and I'm sure I can do it.

Wang Xiao's answer made Grunfeld beside him twitch the corners of his mouth.

What an arrogant answer, what do you mean? Do you think you're already a good coach? So surely you can fit in perfectly with the team?

Obviously, the reporters also heard the meaning of Wang Xiao's words, so soon, another reporter asked.

"So what are your goals for next season?"

"A return to the playoffs, of course." Wang Xiao replied without thinking.

The reporters were slightly disappointed with the modest answer.

Although the Wizards are at the bottom of the East this season, after all, it is a strong team that has reached the playoffs for four consecutive years, if it were not for the team's core Arenas and Haywood to be reimbursed for the injury season, this season would not be so bad, Arenas and Haywood returned from injury in the new season, and it is not particularly difficult to enter the playoffs in the East where the competition pressure is relatively small.

Another reporter immediately asked: "So if the team enters the playoffs next season, what do you think will achieve in the playoffs?" ”

At this time, he really hopes that Wang Xiao can directly say that he wants to win the championship or something like he did in the NCAA interview.

It's a pity that Wang Xiao is not a fool, how can he say that?

The NBA and the NCAA are qualitatively different, even if there is a system in the body, and there is the advantage of the foresight of the traverser, Wang Xiao does not think that the Wizards can transform into a championship-winning team in just one year.

So his response was only some ambiguous words.

The unwilling reporter asked several questions one after another, but Wang Xiao was not fooled at all.

There was only one question that made Grenfield, the general manager of the Wizards sitting on the sidelines, couldn't help but jump in his heart when he heard it.

"Coach Wang Xiao, Arenas is the main core player of the Washington Wizards, and the previous two seasons were reimbursed due to injury, which is one of the reasons for the Wizards' dismal record this season, but it is reported that Arenas will complete his recovery in the summer and officially return at the beginning of the new season." One reporter put it this way: "Have you ever been in contact with Arenas? After coaching the Wizards, what role does Arenas have in your playbook? How would you use him? ”

What is Arenas' role in Wang Xiao's tactical system?

Grenfield knows this problem better than anyone else, because at the beginning of the interview, Wang Xiao bluntly said that Arenas has no place in his tactical system, and he will trade Arenas before the start of the new season!

After listening to Wang Xiao's detailed description of Arenas' shortcomings, and after reading the detailed plan provided by Wang Xiao, both the team owner and himself as the general manager were a little moved.

But that being said, this is definitely not the best time to make such statements.

Wang Xiao has just joined the Wizards team, and his foundation is still shallow, and both players and fans are not very trusting of him.

He was very worried that Wang Xiao would directly say this matter.

If the rumors that the Wizards are ready to trade the star in advance, I am afraid it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

However, what made him breathe a sigh of relief was that Wang Xiao did not say anything, but praised Arenas fiercely, almost praising him to the sky.

Wang Xiao is not stupid, although the NBA is different from the vegetable market, but all transactions are ever-changing, and rare things are expensive.

Showing in advance that the team doesn't want Arenas doesn't give others a chance to sit on the ground and raise the price?

Anyway, you're not ready to ask for it, I'll just buy it back at a low price.

So in order to sell Arenas for a good price, you have to do a lot of foreshadowing, and you have to make him like a wizard who is not for sale.

With such an idea, Wang Xiao's next speech almost did not leave Arenas, deeply expressing his trust in Arenas, firmly believing that as long as Arenas returns next season, the team will definitely return to the NBA under his leadership, and he is the kind of powerful player who can change a team.

Grunfield on the side was dumbfounded, he never expected that Wang Xiao was such a brazen guy, and he had previously counted all kinds of Arenas' shortcomings and flaws in front of him and the team owner, and decided that his career would definitely not last long, and he must be traded while he was still valuable.

But now he is sparing no effort to praise Arenas, and his realistic acting skills are almost believed by Grenfield himself!

The entire press conference lasted about half an hour, and when the news interview was over, the reporters looked at each other with a bewildered expression.

Ay? How does it feel that something is not right?

A young reporter scratched his head, grabbed the other person next to him and asked, "Is it the Wizards' head coach's press conference or the Wizards' Arenas' press conference today?" ”

"You're sick in the head, aren't you? Of course, it's the press conference of Wizards head coach Wang Xiao! The man who was pulled looked at the young reporter with disdain.

"But I just listened to the transcript of the interview, and how come two-thirds of it is about Arenas?"
