With Wang Xiao winning the championship in the NBA, his popularity in China has also risen again.

Although Wang Xiao is not a player, it is the first time that the head coach of Huaxia led the team to win the NBA championship!

After the Wizards won the cup, Wang Xiao immediately became the No. 1 head coach in the country, invincible in the world, punching Jackson, kicking Popovich, and staring at the feeling of killing Pat Riley.

Of course, this is just a boast of people's excitement after winning the championship, but it can also explain what kind of status Wang Xiao has in China from another aspect.

Aiwu and Wu, two players carefully selected by Wang Xiao in China last summer, Cheng Jie and Wang Meng have also become the best of the new generation of domestic players.

These two names, which were previously unknown, were even comparable to the players of the national team.

Cheng Jie and Wang Meng, who were recruited to report to the national youth team, will participate in the U17 World Youth Championships held on June 29 with the team, and people are looking forward to the performance of Cheng Jie and Wang Meng in the national youth team.

The World Junior Championships are just an appetizer.

In July, there will be an international super-event, the London 2012 Olympic Games.

This Olympics is of great significance for the men's basketball team, because it is the first time in nearly a decade that the Chinese men's basketball team has participated in an international competition without Da Yao.

In the absence of a pillar of the male basketball team, what kind of performance will the men's basketball team have is something that all basketball lovers in the country pay close attention to.

Only Wang Xiao, who is a traverser, knows that the experience of this Chinese men's basketball team in London is a nightmare.

In the group stage, he was divided into a hellish group, losing all five group games, losing by an average of 25 points per game, which was like a disaster.

Without Da Yao, the Chinese men's basketball team has no power to fight at all, and then, the Chinese men's basketball team has no achievements in the world.

After all, the Basketball Association still did not send an invitation to Wang Xiao, as for the reason, Wang Xiao is unknown, and it is nothing more than those boring reasons.

Before Cheng Jie and Wang Meng grew up, the only thing that the Chinese men's basketball team could rely on was Yi Jianlian.

This season, Yi Jianlian stayed with the Wizards, but his performance was not excellent.

In the regular season, he played an average of about 10 minutes per game, could get 4 points and 2 rebounds, like a rotation substitute player, and in the playoffs, Yi Jianlian's playing time was further reduced, except for garbage time, basically he would not appear on the field, although he became the third Chinese player to win the championship, but in essence, it is no different from Battle and Sun Yue, who won the championship lying down.

Although at the request of Wang Xiao, Yi Jianlian strengthened his three-point shooting ability, but training three-point shooting is completely different from the game, Yi Jianlian's shooting speed is too slow, and his footsteps are not fast, and he can only be used as a fixed-point pitcher who pulls space to attract defensive attention most of the time on the outside, and the shooting rate is not high.

Wang Xiao once tried to correct Yi Jianlian's shooting habits and make his shooting faster to strengthen the threat, but the result of changing his shooting habits was that his three-point shooting rate became miserable, and he has been a professional player for many years.

There is no way to do this, without the growth template card as a tool that turns decay into magic, even the training module cannot completely reinvent a person.

Yi Jianlian is different from Curry, Harden, George and others, they are originally players with full potential, and the training bonus of the training module can quickly develop their due potential, but Yi Jianlian is the upper limit, even if he works ten times harder, he will not be able to evolve from Yi Jianlian to Nowitzki.

Wang Xiao is not even sure how much stronger the current Yi Jianlian is and Yi Jianlian at the same time in another time and space, and it is not impossible that there is no progress at all.

Regarding Yi Jianlian's trip to London with the Chinese men's basketball team, Wang Xiao can only silently bless in his heart.

……

The 2012 draft was held on June 29 at Madison Square in New York, as usual.

As a championship-winning Wizards, there should have only been a 30th pick this season, but when Harden was traded last season, the team got a 12-year first-round pick from the Kings, and this season the Kings did not have a particularly good record, and the Kings were drafted with the 13th pick in the first round in the previous lottery ceremony.

This draft pick is tantamount to chicken ribs for Wang Xiao.

12 years is a small year in the draft, and there are only a few players who can play at their own value. Davis, Tanhua Bradley. Beal, sixth in the pick, Damion. Lillard, the ninth-overall pick Andre. Drummond, and Drummond, who was only drafted in the second round. Green.

The first few picks of the No. 13 pick failed, and Green, who fell to the second round, was too wasteful.

Wang Xiao prefers to trade this draft pick in exchange for next year's draft pick in preparation for the selection of Antetokounmpo.

As for Green, the Wizards' own first-round pick No. 30 pick would be enough.

The Wizards will not move too much in this year's draft, but there will still be some changes in the team lineup.

The first problem is the expiration of contracts for some key role players.

Javier. McGee, Antoine. Jamison, Patrick. Players such as Beverley have their contracts expired, and each of these players has their own departures.

Veteran Jamison has a dream of winning a championship with the Wizards, and he is ready to renew his contract with the team at the veteran's base salary, which is not a problem, but McGee and Beverley are both inclined to get big contracts.

McGee has taken on the same responsibilities as Jordan Jr. in the 10-11 season as the Wizards' main center this season, but his statistical performance is slightly inferior to Jordan Jr., but even so, his ability and potential to protect the rim are enough to earn him a big contract with an annual salary of 10 million.

It is impossible for Wang Xiao to keep McGee with a contract of 10 million, let alone a contract of 10 million, even if it is 7 million a year, he feels painful, so McGee is ironclad when he leaves.

The situation of Beverley is similar, as Curry's first backup, Beverley's defensive ability on the court is enough to make many teams excited, and there will inevitably be teams offering him a high-priced contract.

Anyway, the departure of these two players will not have any impact on the team.

After two years of experience, Whiteside is fully capable of replacing McGee as the Wizards' main center, even if he is not up to the level of a rebounding maniac after socialist transformation, but it is more than enough for this Wizards team that does not rely on centers.

On Beverley's side, the role of the Wizards has begun to be minimal, because the Wizards' defensive ability has reached its peak at this stage.

With top-notch defensive players like Thompson, Leonard and George around him, Curry doesn't have to worry about defensive problems at all, and in this case, Beverley is even less effective than Isaiah Thomas, who has better offensive ability.
