The performance of Cheng Jie and Wang Meng not only satisfied Wang Xiao, but also surprised many people who paid attention to them.

You must know that when Wang Xiao made the decision to select the two in October last year, these two people were unknown players among the Chinese youth players, and their strength was far inferior to Zhou Qi and others.

However, after Wang Xiao went to Harvard University in the United States, the two of them actually practiced such a strong strength in just over half a year, and they seemed to stand out in the national youth team.

Not to mention the national youth team, even if this strength is placed in the national team, it can definitely play or even become a starter.

Of course, strength and qualification are two different concepts, even if the ability of the two has reached the standard, it is absolutely impossible to be directly selected for the national team.

Because of the amazing performance of Cheng Jie and Wang Meng, the Chinese national youth team achieved 5 wins and 3 losses in the second U17 World Youth Championship and won the fifth place.

This result is not good, but it also broke the best result in Chinese history, which made many people rejoice and look forward to the subsequent London Olympics, and the Chinese men's basketball team can also get excellent results like the national youth team.

However, it backfired......

On July 29, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in the first round of the group stage of the Olympic Games, against the Spanish team, and finally lost to Spain by 16 points 81:97.

Immediately afterwards, on July 31, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to Russia by 19 points at 54:73.

On August 2, facing the Australian team, the Chinese men's basketball team lost another 20 points.

The first three rounds of the group stage were all defeated, and it can basically be announced in advance that the Chinese men's basketball team will not be able to go out of the group stage.

But that's not all.

On August 4, the men's basketball team lost to Brazil by 39 points at 59:98, and on August 6, they lost to Britain by 32 points at 58:90!

If it is said that there is no way to lose the game against Spain, Russia and other strong teams before, and the score difference is not large, it is understandable, it is really unreasonable to lose to Brazil and England by a large score.

Even if the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team is worse than that of Brazil and England, the strength of these two national teams is definitely not as good as Spain and Russia.

The front foot lost to Spain and Russia by more than 20 points, but lost to Brazil and England by more than 30 points.

Da Yao, who was sitting in the commentary seat, already didn't know how to continue the commentary.

In his mind, he couldn't help but think of Wang Xiao's vague views when he was talking to him on the phone.

"He really guessed right...... It's a pity that I didn't bring a quick-acting heart pill......"

The record of losing all five games in the group stage of the Olympic Games made the Chinese men's basketball team instantly become the target of public criticism, and it was sprayed on the Internet.

Almost all of the players were scolded except for Yi Jianlian, and the worst person who was sprayed was Deng Huade, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team.

"What does the Basketball Association think, actually hire such a garbage coach, hurry up and let him get out of the national team!"

"Foreign devils are just unreliable, why don't you use our own coach in Huaxia? The Basketball Association went to find Wang Xiao! ”

"Wang Xiao is a coach who has won the NBA championship, and he doesn't look down on the treatment of the national team at all!"

"No, I remember watching his interview, it seems that he himself is happy to coach the national team, but there is a premise, it seems that the members of the national team must be selected by him."

"Isn't that normal? The head coach can't even decide his own players, what kind of ball are they playing? ”

"You are too naïve, like this national team, how many players were picked by Deng Huade? Those are all players set by the Basketball Association, and the Basketball Association just doesn't agree to Wang Xiao's request, so Wang Xiao has never been allowed to coach the national team! ”

"Hmph, it's really funny, let a group of people who don't know how to play decide the lineup list, and still want to get good results? Dream on! This Olympics is playing like shit, see if the guys in the Basketball Association can resist it? ”

……

Unconsciously, the rhythm was hooked up with Wang Xiao, it can really be said that people are sitting at home, the pot comes from the sky, and they are shot while lying down!

But there is no way, Wang Xiaocai led the Wizards team to win the championship, and was upgraded from the first NBA head coach in Chinese history to the first NBA champion head coach in Chinese history. coincided with this failure of the men's basketball team, how could Wang Xiao be ignored?

There are pros and cons to this matter, although it can further enhance Wang Xiao's popularity and build momentum for him, but at the same time, there are also many sunspots who have ill intentions and spread various rumors on the Internet, such as Wang Xiao is mixed up in the United States, people are floating, and he can't look down on the position of head coach of the national team, and some people even say that Wang Xiao has planned to transfer nationality and immigrate to the United States.

Faced with this situation, Wang Xiao has nothing to do, after all, he does not have the energy to control the speech on the Internet.

Fortunately, as a basketball coach, fame is only a by-product of him, and what really determines his status is his coaching ability.

During the period when the Olympic Games were in full swing, the second Wang Xiao Training Camp was also held closely following the Olympic Games.

Like last year, this year's training camp is also carried out in the form of a national solicitation, with strict age restrictions, and children who participated in last year can continue to participate as long as they are not over age.

Under Wang Xiao's instructions, children who are more than 2 meters tall will be taken care of.

There is no upper limit to the growth of the growth template card, as long as the age is met, even if a short man of 1.6 meters uses the Da Yao growth template card, it will jump to 2.26 meters before the end of the development period, but that is too shocking and unscientific at all.

In line with the idea of prudence, Wang Xiao still wants to carefully select players who are not low in height.

The journey from 1.6 meters to 2.26 meters is shocking, but if it is from 2 meters to 2.26 meters, it is somewhat acceptable.

Of course, height and other quality conditions are only incidental, growth template cards can be provided for it, the important thing is to have a resolute character like Cheng Jie and Wang Meng, and have the perseverance to endure hardships and stand hard work.

......

On the side of the Olympic Games, after the Chinese men's basketball team was out, the attention of the Chinese side immediately decreased sharply.

In the final of the Olympic Games, the United States vs Spain finally ended with the victory of the United States team, and the United States team won the gold medal in the men's basketball Olympics again.

Because the Chinese men's basketball team was out of the game ahead of schedule, in addition to the finals and other more critical events, the domestic media that focus on basketball news have invariably reduced relevant reports, and instead focused on the second Wang Xiao training camp.

After all, criticizing the men's basketball team's defeat at the Olympics needs to be tasted at a moment's notice, and while such reports can attract the attention of fans, if the wording is too strong, it is likely to cause some unnecessary trouble.

At the same time, many media have hit Wang Xiao with their ideas.

As the hottest head coach in the NBA, the value of Wang Xiao's interview has far exceeded that of the past.
