The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Chapter 278 The Fiasco at the Olympics

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

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

But after Wang Xiao went to Harvard University in the United States, the two of them actually developed such a strong strength in just over half a year, and they seemed to stand out from the crowd 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 starting player.

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 Huaxia 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 China's history. While many people are rejoicing, they also look forward to the subsequent London Olympics. score.

However, things backfired...

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

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

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

After losing all the first three rounds of the group stage, it is basically possible to announce in advance that the Huaxia men's basketball team will not be eliminated in the group stage.

However, this is not the end.

On August 4th, the men's basketball team lost 59:98 to Brazil with 39 points. On August 6th, they gave Britain 32 points at 58:90!

If there is no way to lose the game against Spain, Russia and other strong teams before, and the point difference is not big, there is nothing wrong with it, then the big loss to Brazil and the United Kingdom is really unreasonable.

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

Losing to Spain and Russia on the front foot did not exceed 20 points, but lost to Brazil and Britain by more than 30 points.

Dayao, who was sitting in the commentary booth, was a bit at a loss as to how to continue his commentary.

He couldn't help thinking of Wang Xiao's cryptic views when he was talking with him.

"It really made him guess right...Unfortunately, I didn't bring Suxiao Jiuxin Pill..."

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

Except for Yi Jianlian, almost all the players were scolded, and the one who was sprayed the worst was Huaxia men's basketball coach Deng Huade.

"What does the Basketball Association think, to hire such a rubbish coach, let him get out of the national team!"

"Foreign devils are just unreliable. Why don't we use Huaxia's own coach? The Basketball Association will find Wang Xiao!"

"Wang Xiao is the coach who 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 this normal? The head coach can't even decide on his own players, so why play?"

"You are so naive. Like this national team, how many players were selected by Deng Huade? They are all players decided by the Basketball Association. The Basketball Association just does not agree with Wang Xiao's request, so it has never let him go. Wang Xiao coaches the national team!"

"Heh heh, it's really funny. Let a group of people who don't know how to play decide the lineup and still want to get good results? Go ahead and dream! This Olympic Games is playing like shit. See if the guys from the Basketball Association can resist it? "

...

Unknowingly, Rhythm hooked up with Wang Xiao. It can be said that a person is sitting at home, the pot comes from the sky, and he gets shot while lying down!

But there is no way, Wang Xiaocai led the Wizards to win the championship, upgraded from the first NBA head coach in Chinese history to the first NBA champion coach in Chinese history, and it was at the height of the sun. It just so happened that the men's basketball team suffered such a failure, how could it be possible to ignore Wang Xiao?

This matter has advantages and disadvantages. Although it can further increase Wang Xiao's popularity and create momentum for him, but at the same time, there are also many black people who have ulterior motives and spread various rumors on the Internet. Not to be the head coach of the national team, some even say that Wang Xiao has planned to transfer his nationality and immigrate to the United States.

Faced with this situation, Wang Xiao has nothing to do, after all, he does not have the power to control public opinion 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 following the Olympic Games.

Like last year, this training camp is also carried out in the form of national recruitment, with strict age restrictions. Children who participated last year can continue to participate as long as they are under the age.

Under Wang Xiao's instruction, children over 2 meters tall will be given special care.

There is no growth limit for the growth template card. As long as the age is suitable, even a 1.6-meter dwarf who uses the Dayao growth template card will jump to 2.26 meters before the end of the development period, but that is too shocking , is not scientific at all.

For the sake of caution, Wang Xiao still wants to carefully select players who are not low in height.

Jumping from 1.6 meters to 2.26 meters is shocking, but if it grows from 2 meters to 2.26 meters, it is more or less acceptable.

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

On the Olympic side, after the Huaxia men's basketball team was eliminated, the attention of Huaxia immediately dropped sharply.

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

Because the Huaxia men's basketball team was out early, except for the finals and other more critical events, the domestic media that focused on basketball news all reduced the relevant reports, and instead focused on the second Wang Xiao training camp.

After all, criticism of the men's basketball team's defeat in the Olympics needs to be tasted. Although such reports can attract the attention of fans, if the wording is too strong, it may cause unnecessary trouble.

At the same time, many media also focused on Wang Xiao.

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