"Actually, I can probably guess your purpose of coming."

Looking at the slightly reserved Yi Jianlian, Wang Xiao chuckled and took the initiative to speak in Chinese. "Don't be too nervous. I'm very familiar with Dayao, and we have Jeremy Lin's relationship. Not to mention that we are all Chinese. I'm definitely willing."

Help you."

"Really?" Yi Jianlian's eyes lit up and he also said in Chinese: "Thank you so much, Coach Wang."

After finishing speaking, Yi Jianlian saw Jeremy Lin looking confused and couldn't help but say sorry.

Jeremy Lin, who grew up in the United States, did not speak Chinese. Although he gradually started to be exposed to Chinese after hanging out with Wang Xiao, after all, he had to complete his studies in college and insist on training at the same time, so he did not have much time to work hard.

Learning, in Chinese, is limited to simple words such as "Hello", "Thank you" and "Have you eaten".

"Let's talk in English." Wang Xiao also said with a smile.

…

The reason why Yi Jianlian came to him was similar to what Wang Xiao guessed.

Not long ago, Yi Jianlian's agent submitted a contract renewal application to the Nets, hoping to renew his contract with the team in advance.

However, the team did not accept it, and instead expressed its hope to wait until the end of the season and the free market to renew the contract.

This situation is very common, and Yi Jianlian didn't think much about it.

However, as the main core of the team, Jeremy Lin received a little different news.

The Nets have completely lost their patience with Yi Jianlian and are not prepared to renew Yi Jianlian's contract at all.

Even some time ago, the Nets had begun asking around for prices in an attempt to trade Yi Jianlian.

It's a pity that no one cares about it.

Four years have been enough for the team's scouts to see clearly that Yi Jianlian is not the second big Yao, and there is still a huge gap between his level and the NBA.

Now, he has been unable to achieve results in the team. Once this season ends, Yi Jianlian will probably not be accepted by the team and will have no choice but to return to China for development.

In fact, if Wang Xiao's appearance had not fanned the wings of butterflies, Yi Jianlian would have been traded to the Wizards by the Nets after the draft, and then returned to the CBA to play in the CBA due to the NBA lockout after his contract expired.

After the NBA lockout ended, Yi Jianlian signed a one-year minimum salary contract with the Dallas Mavericks and became Nowitzki's substitute. Unfortunately, Yi Jianlian still failed to perform at a high level with the Mavericks, so a year later, he did not have an ideal next home.

Yi Jianlian finally decided to return to the CBA to continue his development.

Wang Xiao feels regretful about Yi Jianlian's future experience. After all, Yi Jianlian is the only Chinese player after Yao who has a chance to gain a foothold in the NBA. (The Chinese-American Jeremy Lin is not counted.)

Unfortunately, due to strength on the one hand and luck on the other, Yi Jianlian was not able to take root in the league like Yao.

So Wang Xiao doesn't mind helping Yi Jianlian now.

…

"I already understand the general situation."

After listening to Yi Jianlian's statement, Wang Xiao let out a breath, and then said: "So, now that you have found me, do you want me to help you improve your strength and continue to play in the NBA?"

"Yes." Yi Jianlian nodded and looked at Wang Xiao expectantly.

"I'm afraid it won't be easy..." Wang Xiao shook his head, looked at Yi Jianlian and said, "No training can be effective in a short time."

"Well, I know that." A trace of disappointment flashed in Yi Jianlian's eyes, but he agreed with it.

As a professional player, of course he understands this truth, but now he really has no choice, so he has expectations because of Wang Xiao's legendary story.

Of course, what Wang Xiao said was a theoretical situation. With the help of the system, a high-level growth template card, plus a large number of training bonuses from training modules, can quickly give birth to a capable player.

Jeremy Lin is a representative figure.

But Wang Xiao no longer has a high-level growth template card in his hand, and Yi Jianlian is over 20 years old, so the growth template card can no longer take effect on him. The most important thing is that Yi Jianlian is not a player under Wang Xiao's name. The training module

It has no effect on it at all.

"I think coach, you must have a solution." At this time, Jeremy Lin spoke. He already had an almost blind admiration for Wang Xiao. Wang Xiao had no doubt that if you use the locker room module to view it, Jeremy Lin's kindness to him would be clear.

The value is definitely higher than that of all Wizards players including Curry.

"Of course there is a way."

Wang Xiao chuckled.

"Yi Jianlian, do you know? In the Wizards, I have the right to decide on transactions. I can decide whether to leave or stay every player, including signing any player." Wang Xiao said to Yi Jianlian.

Hearing Wang Xiao's words, Yi Jianlian's eyes suddenly lit up.

Wang Xiaowu is making it clear to him that the Wizards can definitely sign him this summer.

"But... this doesn't mean you can sit back and relax." The smile on Wang Xiao's face gradually diminished and became serious, "I smash my own brand, so you must show enough strength to impress me."

Enough strength?

Yi Jianlian was a little stunned again.

Strength, if I had strength, would I use it to find you?

Although he thought so in his heart, Yi Jianlian did not dare to say it directly.

Fortunately, Wang Xiao immediately explained.

"Of course, when I talk about strength, I don't mean to let you show your strength immediately in the NBA league, but to show me your value."

"To put it harshly, although we are compatriots and should help each other, as the head coach of a team, I also have to consider the team's position. It is impossible to sign a player without any value regardless."

Yi Jianlian and Jeremy Lin were silent after hearing this.

Wang Xiao is right, there is no such thing as a free lunch, so why should anyone give a worthless player a contract?

"How do I prove it?"

Yi Jianlian asked.

"It's very simple. You need to prove two points to me in the next six months."

Wang Xiao raised two fingers and said: "First, you need to develop a stable three-point shot and maintain a shooting rate of at least 80% when shooting in open positions."

Shooting rate above 80% in the open position?

When Yi Jianlian heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

That's a three-point shooting percentage. Although he has the ability to shoot from outside, even if he shoots from an open position, he will never have such a high shooting percentage.

But Wang Xiao immediately made a second request.

"Second, you need to lower your weight and move your steps faster. Well... I can't give you a clear data on how to achieve this, but it definitely doesn't mean that you are as slow as you are now.

Passed."

"If you can meet my requirements within half a year, then I can let you come to play for the Wizards and give you a total contract." Wang Xiao said solemnly: "But if you can't do it... then I can only apologize.
Chapter completed!
