The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

From a common point of view, this deal is more advantageous for the Magic. After all, they got the most famous and most promising small forward Andrew Wiggins in 14 years. Judging from the Bucks' poor record this season, there is a high probability that this first-round pick will be a lottery pick.

And what did the Bucks get in this deal? The second pick in the first round was used to select a potential center with a high probability of being reimbursed for the rookie season, a shooting guard who averaged 13.8 points per game in the Magic team and shot just over 40% and was not valued by the Magic team management. Oladipo.

Everyone knew that the Magic had made a profit from this deal, but when they learned that Wang Xiao was coaching the Bucks, almost everyone immediately thought that the Magic had been cheated!

The name of Wang Xiao, a draft talent, has been known to everyone in the past few years. Who doesn't know that Wang Xiao has a pair of eyes that detect geniuses?

From Jeremy Lin to Curry, Harden, then George, Thompson, Leonard, and then Isaiah Thomas, Jimmy Butler, Rudy Gobert...

There are enough players who have been selected by Wang Xiaohui's eyes and know their talents and have played their worth.

No one will doubt Wang Xiao's vision. Since Wang Xiao did not use the Bucks' No. 1 pick to select Wiggins, it means that Wiggins is not worth cultivating in Wang Xiao's eyes, or his The value is far inferior to Embiid, who was selected with the second pick, and Oladipo, who was traded as a bargaining chip!

It will take time to verify the outcome of this transaction.

And Wang Xiao's joining the league's bottom team has also aroused countless people's reverie.

Next season, can the Wizards without Wang Xiao continue to defend the NBA championship? And as the bottom team in the regular season, the Milwaukee Bucks, under the leadership of Wang Xiao, how will they perform?

These suspense can only be known after the start of the new season.

After the draft, Wang Xiao officially signed the contract with the Bucks, and then got on the plane back to China.

The dust has settled on the NBA side, but there are still very important things waiting for him on China's side...

Interview with the head coach of the national team!

...

In the past, when returning to China, Wang Xiao would return home to visit his family first, and then take a good rest for a few days.

But not this time, he took a direct flight to the capital, and as soon as he got off the plane, Wang Xiao met the staff of the Basketball Association who came to pick him up.

"Hello, Mr. Wang Xiao! Welcome to the capital. I am a staff member of the Basketball Association. I am responsible for picking you up! Just call me Xiao Zhao."

The person in charge of receiving Wang Xiao was a man about 30 years old. When he saw Wang Xiao coming out of the passage, he immediately greeted him.

"Hello."

Wang Xiao nodded, and just about to speak, he saw a commotion in the crowd not far away, followed by a burst of exclamation.

"Wang Xiao! It's Wang Xiao! He's out!"

"Look, look! That's Wang Xiao!"

Wang Xiao looked at the excited crowd outside the security line with a dazed expression, feeling a little confused.

What's happening here? Is the Basketball Association so knowledgeable these days? He even spent money to hire actors to pretend to be his fans?

Wang Xiao is very self-aware. As a coach, he is definitely not as famous and popular as a player. In addition, although Wang Xiao is not ugly, he is still relatively handsome among ordinary people. That's all, it's not the slightest difference from the popular little fresh meat that many people like now.

There may be many people who like basketball like me, but it is still unrealistic to reach the point where I have to sign autographs at the airport.

It is rare to have such a scene, even if it is an actor who paid for it, Wang Xiao did not hold back, and took the initiative to sign autographs and take photos with them. After working for more than ten minutes, he left with the staff of the Basketball Association.

"Mr. Wang Xiao, I didn't expect your fans to be so enthusiastic."

In the car, Xiao Zhao said with emotion: "This is almost catching up with the treatment of domestic CBA stars."

"Huh? Those are really fans?"

Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and asked involuntarily.

"Of course, why not?"

I thought it was an actor hired by you to show off...

Wang Xiao couldn't say this. After all, if he said this, wouldn't it be a disguised admission that even he didn't think he had such enthusiastic fans?

"Mr. Wang Xiao, in fact, I am also your fan." Xiao Zhao smiled, and then said: "You are really amazing in the NBA. Three consecutive championships and 73 wins really make us Chinese people look good! I personally I very much hope that you can coach the national team and rescue the Huaxia men's basketball team from the current predicament."

"However..." Xiao Zhao hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and changed his voice: "The officials of the Basketball Association don't think so. After all, the request you made publicly before has touched the interests of some people. , if you want to coach the national team smoothly without any troubles, I think it is better to make some concessions."

Looking at Xiao Zhao with some surprise, Wang Xiao didn't expect that this basketball association member would say such a thing to him.

But thinking about it, it's normal. He is just an ordinary grassroots employee of the Basketball Association, not a leader. He doesn't need to think about rights and other issues. He just wants Huaxia basketball to get better and better.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao smiled at Xiao Zhao.

"Don't worry, I know what's in my heart."

Before coming, Wang Xiao had already talked with Dayao on the phone. The two discussed for a long time, and Dayao also gave advice on how Wang Xiao could successfully coach the Huaxia men's basketball team. Even in today's interview, Dayao also found a way to join in.

For the position of head coach of the national team, Wang Xiao is bound to win!

...

When the vehicle drove to the gate of the Basketball Association, Wang Xiao saw a striking banner from a distance.

"Warmly welcome the well-known NBA coach Wang Xiao!"

Looking at the red banner, Wang Xiao first felt that it was a bit vulgar, but the other party was able to welcome him so formally, there was still some sincerity, even if this kind of sincerity was just for a certain boss...

There is no need to talk about the details of how to welcome and welcome. After a short time, the official drama finally came.

Looking at the few people sitting opposite, Wang Xiao had to sigh that the battle was really big.

The chairman of the Basketball Association, eight vice-chairmen, and one person who is not from the Basketball Association—Dayao, who has a pivotal position in the domestic basketball world.

The above ten people are the people who interviewed Wang Xiao this time.

Except for Dayao, Wang Xiao didn't know anyone else, nor did he have any intention of getting to know each other.

He has never been a person who is good at following others, and he is more used to relying on his own ability than flattering himself.

And Wang Xiao is also very clear, that is, among the high-level basketball associations present, most of them don't want to be the head coach of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team.
