The Strongest Bishop in the NBA
Chapter 53: confidence
The city to which the Wizards belong is Washington, DC, the capital of the United States. The White House where the US president lives is at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, northwest of Washington, DC.
However, although it is the capital of the United States, the prosperity of the city is far less than that of New York and Los Angeles.
The reason is simple. No high-rise buildings are allowed here, and all architectural styles must be clear at a glance to prevent terrorists from sneaking into and murdering high-level national lawmakers.
There are less than one million people in Washington DC. The market for basketball games is not particularly good. The Wizards often do not even have seats at home.
But in 2002, as one of the team's investors, Jordan announced that he would join the Wizards in order to get the Wizards more attention.
The effect of this move by the God of Basketball was really outstanding. The original Wizards, who had never been known, instantly became a team of global concern. Although Jordan’s comeback did not bring much progress to the Wizards’ record, it made the Wizards’ fans "fan". The number has grown exponentially.
The Wizards management team then acquired Arenas through a deal. The latter, as the strongest second-round pick in history, showed great strength and reached the playoffs for four consecutive years.
It is a pity that good times always go very fast. Arenas reimbursed for injuries in two consecutive seasons. This season, the Wizards finally failed, and struggled in the quagmire at the bottom of the east.
Wang Xiao knew that in this case, the Wizards contacted what he wanted, so he showed great self-confidence from the beginning.
Yes, strong self-confidence.
Wizards boss and general manager saw this feeling in their mind at the first moment when they saw Wang Xiao.
Sitting in front of them, Wang Xiao, dressed in a black "color" straight suit, with a strong self-confidence in his hands and feet, faced the two Wizards with the highest power without any sense of restraint.
"Wang Xiao, hello, I'm so glad you were invited to come to us." Team General Manager Glenfield said first. "We all know your experience, including your seven-year assistant coaching career in nba and nbdl, as well as the head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers for a week, and the magical performance of the Harvard school..."
"However, considering that you are only 30 years old after all, and you are still a Chinese, I am sorry we have to wonder if you have the ability to coach the nba team."
Glenfield's tone was very kind, but Wang Xiao was keenly aware that his words seemed to have a little offensive "sex". It seems that this general manager has no good feelings for himself...
But it is also true that Wang Xiao came here not only for the job of the Wizards coach, but also for the right to make trade decisions. This is obviously to grab the rice bowl with Glenfield. A normal person will be hostile to Wang Xiao.
"Sir, first of all, age has nothing to do with ability, and secondly, ability has nothing to do with racial color."
Wang Xiao said with a smile.
There was an unknown fire in Glenfield's heart.
What does this mean, boy?
"So, do you think your ability is enough to become the Wizards' head coach?"
Glenfield couldn't help asking.
"of course."
Wang Xiao's unhesitating answer made Glenfield stagnate.
But immediately, he couldn't help sneering.
"Mr. Wang, you need to know that the Wizards are an NBA team, and even reached the playoffs for four consecutive years. You have never had any experience in coaching an NBA team before. Don’t you need to think about saying this rashly? A bit?"
auzw.com "Hoo..." Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, instead of looking at Glenfield, but looking at the team boss sitting in position.
"No intention to offend, but I'm a little curious, you guys come to me... are you going to have a debate game with me?"
"You?!!!" Glenfield was furious.
But he hadn't had time to move to the next move, and the team's boss finally spoke.
"Sorry, Mr. Wang Xiao, Ernie has worked for the Wizards for more than ten years. He has deep feelings for this team. He hopes that the team can get better, so he only has strict requirements for the head coach."
"However, the problems he said before are indeed my concerns. As you said, ability has nothing to do with age and race skin color, but in the history of nba, there has never been a person in his early 30s. Of young people as head coaches..."
The same meaning, but from the Wizards boss's mouth, it is more pleasant than Glenfield.
Wang Xiao thought for a moment, then said: "Sir, I'm sorry I can't prove this with words. I want to prove whether what I said is true, I can only try it, but..."
Wang Xiao’s discourse was a little bit, “If I become the Wizards’ head coach, within one year, I can bring the team back to the playoffs. In three years, it only takes three years to train the Wizards into a championship. Team... within five years, we will win the championship!"
Wang Xiao's tone was bland, but the strong self-confidence seemed to be like substance, and he rushed towards the two in front of him.
Returning to the playoffs in one year, becoming a championship team in three years, and winning the championship in five years?
The Wizards’ boss couldn’t help but glance at Glenfield.
Although his understanding of nba is not particularly deep, he still knows some basic things, such as the difficulty of the championship.
There is only one championship trophy in the history of the Washington Wizards. It was still 1977, and it has been more than thirty years!
Now a "Mao" head kid actually said in front of them that the Wizards can win the championship within five years?
Not to mention the team owner who has only been in office for less than a month, even Glenfield, who has been a general manager for more than a decade, has never seen such a confident coach... This can no longer be described by self-confidence. Some arrogance!
However, when he and his boss looked at each other, Glenfield was surprised to find that there was an intentional look in the boss's eyes!
...
Wang Xiao leaned back on the sofa and took a sip of coffee lightly, looking impatient.
In fact, he was still looking forward to it.
After the interview, he was invited to the meeting room and waited for the result. The management team still needed to discuss it before deciding whether to officially hire Wang Xiao.
But like Glenfield, just now he also saw the move in the eyes of the team boss.
"It should be eight or nine..."
While thinking this lightly in his heart, Wang Xiao also had some emotions.
It has been more than a year unconsciously.
When he first crossed here, he was the head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers because he chose Durant at the draft and was opened by the Blazers' boss on the spot.
Now, he is only one step away from returning to nba. Soon, he will announce to nba that his Wang Xiao is back!
