The Strongest Bishop in the NBA
Chapter 21: Gimmick
Over the past few months, people have gradually forgotten the name Wang Xiao.
But the NBA is still suffering from turmoil because of Wang Xiao's actions.
The first is the Trail Blazers, who tried to trade Durant.
The outside already has Brandon Roy as the core, and what the Blazers hope to get is a high-quality inside player rather than an outside player.
Although Durant's height is a standard inside player, his style of play is exactly the same as that of outside players, and the Blazers already have Aldridge with a similar style, which makes the Blazers' management very dissatisfied.
However, the selling of Durant was unsuccessful. The main reason was that no suitable buyer could be found. The teams that provided offers basically had the mentality of taking advantage of the fire, and the players who were willing to offer were not good ones.
No matter what, Durant was signed with the No. 1 pick, and it would be too wasteful to change it to anything else.
Helpless, the Blazers can only give up the idea of selling Durant.
On the other hand, the Sonics, who were lucky enough to draft Oden with the second overall pick, aren't too proud.
In the summer, Greg Oden felt knee pain while on vacation. During the examination, it was found that the cartilage was damaged, and the only option was surgery. On September 15, 2007, Oden underwent minimally invasive surgery on his right knee and needed to recuperate for 6-12 months. It was determined that he would miss the entire 2007-08 season.
Regarding Oden's accidental injury, the Sonics were very optimistic. At the press conference, they believed that Oden would be able to become the core of the team after returning next season.
After hearing the news, the general manager of the Blazers, Kevin, couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart while gloating.
For some reason, his mind recalled what Wang Xiao said back then.
"Oden is a piece of crap, he can't adapt to the intensity of the NBA game at all."
It should be... just a coincidence, right?
Shaking his head in disbelief, Kevin felt that it would be amazing if Wang Xiao could even predict Oden's injury in advance.
But the fact is so miraculous. Wang Xiao came back from time travel in 2019. He just knew that Oden had been injured all the time after logging into the NBA, and he had never played a serious season.
Now this matter is not so important to Wang Xiao, after all, it is meaningless to laugh at the stupidity of these people from the perspective of a time traveler.
On the contrary, it was because of this incident that he was attacked by Heat coach Pat Riley in his life, which made him even more upset.
His current goal is very simple, that is to lead Harvard University to enter the NCAA Tournament, and pass through the March Madness. It is best to win the championship. If he fails to win the championship, he will attract a lot of attention. It will have a great impact on his return to the NBA. help.
At present, this goal is still possible to achieve.
Kidd's growth template card continues to play a role. Jeremy Lin is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye every day. His growth is not limited to offensive and defensive skills, but also has a great performance in basketball IQ. .
Jeremy Lin himself is not qualified as a point guard. After he joined the Lakers, Lakers coach Byron Scott once commented on him: "Jeremy Lin lacks some instincts that a point guard should have, such as controlling and managing offense. Timing, playmaking and defensive rotations."
Of course, Scott is suspected of throwing the blame for the team's loss, but this is also the case.
Jeremy Lin averaged 12 points, 4.5 assists, and 2.4 turnovers throughout his career. The assist-to-turnover ratio of nearly half is really ugly, and it also shows Jeremy Lin's shortcomings.
Now this shortcoming has been perfectly made up for with the help of Kidd's growth template card.
Who is Kidd? That is the second-ranked player in the history of assists, with a total of 12,091 assists throughout his career.
The basketball IQ of this kind of player is far beyond what ordinary players can match.
Jeremy Lin is also developing in the direction of Kidd.
He can always easily find the position of the players on the court and send out extremely precise assists. The current offense of the entire team is basically supported by Jeremy Lin alone.
If Jeremy Lin is not on the court, the team's offensive efficiency will be greatly weakened immediately.
To be honest, this is also a problem with the team, the offensive point is too single.
But it’s hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. On the defensive end, Plaine, who used Battier’s template card, helped him. On the offensive end, he really couldn’t find a player who could assist Jeremy Lin. After all, these Harvard players are really not very talented. Sample.
Wang Xiao thought, if his character explodes in the next few months and he draws a growth template card, then all problems will be solved.
...
With its iron-blooded defensive ability, Harvard University has been advancing all the way, and is invincible in the entire Ivy League. Before half of the season, Harvard University has already shouted the slogan of winning the championship and making history.
Harvard University has never won any championship trophy since the establishment of the men's basketball team.
And now, the school team, which has achieved a proud record of 8 wins and 0 losses in the league, finally has the opportunity to win the honor that it has never had before!
As the head coach of Harvard University, after being discovered by the media, Wang Xiao became popular again.
This is good material. The former NBA head coach was dismissed and then coached in the NCAA. He led Harvard University, which had never won a championship, to win the Ivy League championship!
Even those games that are popular for championship championships don't have this gimmick!
For a while, countless reporters flocked to interview Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao did not refuse this, but accepted it all.
He is well aware of the power of the media and what he lacks.
First, fame. Second, qualifications.
Qualifications must be built up with time, and there is no other way.
But fame is different.
If you guide the media to portray yourself as a talented coach, I believe that as you win more and more victories, there will always be NBA teams attracted by you.
Similarly, Pat, the president of the Harvard University Athletic Association, was also interviewed by many media as a contributor to choosing Wang Xiao as the coach.
He answered every reporter's interview with a smile.
"Yes, when I saw Wang, I knew he would be the head coach of the Harvard University team."
"He is a very confident person, and that kind of confidence exudes from the inside out. I still remember what he said to me when I first met him..."
"People think he is a stupid person, but I just think he is the kind of guy with a unique vision. After he came to the team, he immediately selected Jeremy Lin as the absolute core of the team. Do you know Lin? Yes, He is Harvard University's current trump card, a super guard who averaged 26.4 points and 11 assists per game in the league!"
