Chapter 340 It's not the first time I've done this
The facts are the same as the reporters imagined.
When the relevant reports were published, the vast majority of people who were on the gossip were stunned.
Are there any such arrogant people in the world? That is the record of 72 wins in the regular season! Before the regular season starts, make reservations to break this record?
Many people immediately questioned the news after learning the news.
"This is not something a normal person can say at all. Did Wang Xiao ask his team members to say this specifically?"
For a time, rumors of various conspiracy theories were circulating everywhere. Not many people were willing to admit that Wang Xiao was really brave enough to say this, and he really led the team to do this feat a few months later. People would rather think that this was Wang Xiao's arrogant move after leading the team to win 73 wins.
Of course, those who support the Wizards or like Wang Xiao will also make some rebuttals.
"If you were familiar with Wang Xiao, you would know that this kind of thing was not the first time he did it! Have you forgotten that he would make a declaration of winning the championship in front of reporters half a season ahead of schedule in front of the reporter? Even the championship can be done, so what is the purpose of booking in advance to break the 72-win record?"
And in China, far away on the other side of the ocean, Wang Xiao once again showed his face.
With two championships in hand, Wang Xiao has become the best basketball coach in Asia, no doubt.
When the record of 73 consecutive victories was reached, Wang Xiao's popularity in China instantly rose to a peak.
Compared to the championship, most fans prefer records that are difficult to reach.
Kobe's 81 points and McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 points are honors that can make them admire crazy.
Although Wang Xiao’s 73 wins are not a personal honor, the difficulty is no less than the former. More importantly, he is still a serious Chinese!
Unlike Jeremy Lin, a Chinese-American, who is a true Chinese people from blood to nationality!
Soon, Wang Xiao will lead the Wizards to the top again, get the third championship trophy, and create a dynasty. This is also the first coach to win three consecutive championships in the NBA...
Since Wang Xiao joined the NBA, the first term has never been separated from him.
The first Chinese coach to coach NBA teams, the first Chinese coach to be elected the NBA coach of the year, the first Chinese coach to be elected the NBA All-Star head coach, and the first Chinese coach to coach NBA teams to win the championship...
Now, the title of Chinese coach who is about to become the first Chinese coach to win the honor of three consecutive championships is about to be achieved. In China, more and more calls have begun to sound... Let Wang Xiao be the head coach of the national team!
This is a cliché issue.
When Wang Xiao started coaching the Wizards in 2009, he clearly stated that he was willing to serve as the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball national team.
However, he made it clear that he must have absolute command of the team, just like in the NBA Wizards.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Basketball Association has not made any noise. After all, many people in the Basketball Association are unwilling to see or accept that a head coach has too much power.
So even though the men's basketball team suffered a crushing defeat in the group stage of the London Olympics in 2012, they failed in the Asian Championships, and the same is true.
But now, as Wang Xiao reaches the peak step by step, the situation has already shown some uncontrollable trend.
With the progress of the times, the influence of the Internet has begun to gradually expand, and Wang Xiao's popularity has also increased. Although it is not as dramatic as Yao Yao, it can be regarded as widely known.
Now whenever you mention basketball, the first thing Chinese people think of Yao Yao at the first time, but then Wang Xiao, Yi Jianlian, Jeremy Lin and others...
As the most influential celebrity in the domestic basketball industry, Dayao is also deliberately promoting Wang Xiao. After the Wizards won 73 wins, he immediately posted on Weibo to congratulate Wang Xiao and praised Wang Xiao's coaching ability, even calling Wang Xiao the hope for the rise of Chinese basketball.
The pressure on public opinion is getting stronger and stronger, and finally one day it attracted the attention of a domestic big shot.
"This Wang Xiao is quite good in the United States. He has won two championships. Isn't the men's basketball team not very good in the past two years? Why didn't he be invited to coach the national team?"
The boss just mentioned it lightly, but it caused a great shock in the Basketball Association.
They never expected that Wang Xiao's incident had even alarmed such a big shot!
The Basketball Association then carefully gave the answer, but it seemed so pale and powerless.
"Just because the other party demands too much power, I'm worried about using public for personal gain? What's this? Shouldn't professional people be allowed to do professional things? Can a senior executive who doesn't understand farming decide how to farm, can that be done well? Let's give it a try first. Maybe he can really bring something different to the Chinese men's basketball team."
...
Wang Xiao, who was far away from the ocean, didn't know that under the vocals of a big man, the Basketball Association had already been forced to start formulating a plan to hire him to coach the national team under tremendous pressure.
At this time, Wang Xiao was sitting on the bench and leisurely watched the last game of the regular season.
The Wizards' last regular season opponent was the Brooklyn Nets.
The Wizards, which had already completed the goal ahead of schedule and broke the Bulls' 72 wins, went on a big holiday in this game. Curry, Thompson and Leonard all took off, and only took out the starting lineups of Thomas Jr., Jimmy Butler, Chandler Parsons, Drummond Green and Rudy Gobert.
Whether 73 wins or 74 wins is not important for Wang Xiao and the Wizards players. As long as the record maintained by the Bulls is broken, they will be the first, and it is unlikely that others will come from behind in the future, so they are not obsessed with the victory of this game.
Originally, fans of the Wizards' home court thought that this would be a one-sided game, and the Nets, ranked third in the East, would definitely have an advantage in the lineup of almost all substitutes against the Wizards.
But the Wizards fans were surprised when the game was a surprise.
The Wizards in this substitute lineup actually played against the Nets, who played all the main players. Nets core Jeremy Lin played for 39 minutes in the game, scoring 28 points, 9 rebounds and 13 assists, and only led the Nets to win the game with a slight advantage of 2 points.
In addition to being surprised, the Wizards fans will inevitably feel ecstatic.
This Wizards is really too strong. Even if the four main players, Curry, Thompson, Leonard and George, are absent at the same time, they can still play hard to match the third-place Nets in the East. When all the main players are dispatched, who is their opponent in the entire league?
