Chapter Twenty-Eight: Beach Swimming

In mid-April, the weather is getting warmer.

Lin Jiu really wanted to attend the graduation meeting of her classmates, and Wang Ming had promised her to participate with her before, so she had to be pulled over.

The main purpose of their graduation rally was Midland Beach, east of Staten Island.

There were about two dozen people in attendance, Wang Mingming and Lin Jiuzhen came to the school gate, and everyone was already waiting for them in the car.

Lin Jiuzhen introduced his brother very seriously and proudly, and when he knew that Wang Ming had previously served as a coach with the New Jersey Nets, a group of young people were in awe and applauded - the big brother is so powerful.

For the day trip, the bus was rented by the students at their own expense, and the travel agency arranged a tour guide to accompany them.

Lin Jiuzhen introduced Wang Mingming to her best classmates in school.

"Salad Dalins"

"Hello." Wang Mingming shook hands with the little girl.

Salad was a common name in the United States, and she was also seventeen or eighteen years old, with long curly blond hair draped over her shoulders, deep and charming blue eyes, and skin as white as snow.

Wang didn't go out at home for most of the month tomorrow, sitting on the bus, listening to the tour guide explaining the places of interest and special attractions along the way, but it was also a distraction.

On the beaches of Midland, there are not many tourists.

Lin Jiuzhen and Sala excitedly changed their swimsuits and prepared to go to the sea for a while.

But at this time, the staff on the beach informed everyone that the weather was not very stable today, and the sea was windy and wavery, which was not suitable for swimming, so it was recommended not to go into the water.

As beginners, Jiuzhen and Sala were disappointed, and the two put on T-shirts and shorts over their swimsuits and found Wang Mingming, who was sitting on the dock fishing.

"What kind of project is this~It's so boring~"

Sala and Lin Jiuzhen looked at it for a while, and they didn't understand the Buddha nature fishing project under the sun umbrella, not to mention that Wang Ming looked drowsy, and he might not even notice that the two of them had changed their clothes.

Of course, Wang Mingming had no interest in the two little girls, but he never thought that Lin Jiuzhen in the back glanced at the salad.

The two of them jumped and ran away.

Wang Ming looked back, and the only unknown small sea fish that he had caught with great difficulty in his fishing net pocket was actually taken away by two people.

The two laughed, ran into the water, and carefully put the fish back into the sea.

"I'll catch it again!"

Wang Tomorrow shouted loudly.

"Then put it again!" Lin Jiuzhen put his hands in a trumpet shape to his mouth, and the girl's voice was transmitted, making Wang Ming cry and laugh.

In the afternoon, Wang rented three bicycles tomorrow, and then took Lin Jiuzhen and Sha La, and rode around the road by the beach, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the sea and green space along the way.

Had a relaxing and enjoyable day.

.......

The first thing Wang received tomorrow was an invitation from the Philadelphia 76ers.

In the East, Wang Tomorrow's reputation is even more famous because of the Nets' publicity, and 76ers general manager Billy King is sincere in his words and invites Wang to meet with Philadelphia tomorrow.

The 76ers have a poor record this season, and after the change of coach, Morris Cheeks has not changed the team much, it is mediocre, and even has to make the 76ers' level drop a little.

The combination of Allen Iverson + Chris Webber, both of whom played more than 70 games, and without injury troubles, the 76ers ended up with only 38 wins, half of which was not reached, ranking ninth in the East, and being excluded from the playoff wall, which made their supporters extremely disappointed.

The 76ers' poor results are to blame for both the general manager and the head coach, especially now that the rumors of Allen Iverson seeking a trade are intensifying, and the team is about to fall apart, his seat is simply hotter than Ed Stein Vansz's.

But Morris Cheeks signed a four-year contract, and Billy King invited Morris Cheeks to take office before, and now he can't fire people after a season, it's too much to slap himself in the face, so Cheeks' position is still stable, and Billy King invited Wang to become the team's assistant coach tomorrow.

There is no such thing as an overnight success in this world, and Wang Mingming understands that before sitting in the position of head coach, he must seek the status of first assistant coach, which is something that every NBA coach will experience.

On April 22, the first day of the start of the 05-06 NBA playoffs, Wang took the shuttle bus from New Jersey to Philadelphia tomorrow.

The two places are only 100 kilometers apart, and New Jersey is only 1 hour and 30 minutes by car.

.......

Philadelphia, Wajovia Center Arena.

General Manager Billy King is a big bald head, dark-skinned and slightly rich.

He seemed very enthusiastic about the arrival of the king tomorrow, and after shaking hands, the two sides sat down.

Billy King gets straight to the point, TD Facts:

"Coach Wang, I have always admired your talent."

"As the first Chinese coach in the NBA, you have shown a wealth of basketball tactics, although you have only been in the Nets for two months, but the outside world has paid no less attention to you than a head coach."

"Thank you." Wang replied politely tomorrow.

"Actually, because Philadelphia and New Jersey are just across the river, I know a lot about some of the things going on in New Jersey," Billy King laughs. I know you helped Antoine White develop his three-point shooting ability, and I know that you led the bench to beat the main lineup led by John Loyer. ”

"By the way, I don't like John Loyère either." Billy King laughed and was very bold.

"It's just a bit of luck, if it was Frank who led the main line-up, it would have been difficult for me to win that training game." Wang Mingming said modestly.

Billy King showed a hint of appreciation, and then continued: "You know the predicament of the 76ers this season, and if you were asked to coach the 76ers, how would you solve those problems? ”

Billy King's question shook Wang, who immediately realized that this was not just an interview question, but could also be a great opportunity.

He thought about it in his mind, and the "Tactical Atlas" he had seen before gave him great inspiration.

"The problem with the 76ers is that the inside and outside lines don't come together, and they don't have a good chemistry." Wang Ming Ming quickly analyzed: "If I had to solve it, I would first improve our team's inside and outside passing tactics, small forward Andre Iguodala I have watched his game, he is a smart and selfless player, he can have an excellent big picture and stable passing skills, if I had to choose, I will set the pivot point on him." ”

These words simply said that Billy King's heart is in the heart, Andre Iguodala is a player hand-selected by Billy King, Andre Iguodala has the potential in his eyes, compared to Allen and Chris Webber, if the team can have a third point of dominance of the ball, it will be more helpful for the team to improve, but unfortunately, Iguodala has not been seen to perform like this in the previous season, and the ball is basically either in the hands of Iverson or Chris Webber.

What's even more annoying is that the two of them are still playing their own games, and after the game, they see that their respective data are good, but the team loses.

"If you had to choose a lineup, would you make changes to your current lineup?"

Billikin couldn't wait to ask, wanting to know what Wang Mingming thought.

Wang Tomorrow hesitated for a moment, and then said boldly and loudly: "I may trade Chris Webber directly ........"

"Confidant!"

Billy King burst into tears, every point Wang said tomorrow was reasonable, and it was very much in line with his operating philosophy, and it was really too late to see each other.
