The strongest bishop in the NBA

Chapter 27 The last battle



Chapter 27 The Last Battle

As for the candidate for the assistant coach, Wang Xiao already had an idea in mind.

After five years in the NBA, even though he is a native of China, how could it be possible that Wang Xiao has no circle at all?

In his memory, there are many colleagues who are still unemployed.

Their abilities may not be valued in the NBA, but they are more than sufficient in terms of abilities as assistant coaches in the NCAA.

So after receiving Pat's affirmative answer, Wang Xiao immediately dialed someone's phone number.

Jack, this is the most common name in the United States, and its status is almost equal to that of Zhang Wei in China.

This is also a friend of Wang Xiao's school days.

He is also a basketball fan, similar to Wang Xiao. Although he loves basketball, he does not have the talent in this area.

So under the inspiration of Wang Xiao, he also followed Wang Xiao to learn about coaching, and inspired him to become a basketball coach.

It's a pity that compared to Wang Xiao, his luck is worse.

As a black man, Jack's family conditions are much more difficult than Wang Xiao's.

He doesn't just live for himself, he also has a seriously ill mother and several younger brothers and sisters at home who need him to support.

In order to make a living, Jack had to give up his dream and find a manual job to support his family.

Wang Xiao, who has been in the NBA for more than five years, has gradually gained a foothold, and has tried to provide some help to Jack, but Wang Xiao was not a person with great energy at that time, so Jack could only return disappointed every time. .

But this time is different.

In the Harvard school team, Wang Xiao has a lot of power. Pat actually doesn't know much about basketball. He agrees with Wang Xiao's achievements during this period, so he will also give a certain amount of trust to the people Wang Xiao chooses. .

Although the salary of the assistant coach of the campus basketball team is not high, it is still much higher than doing physical labor, and the food and lodging are all in the school, and the consumption is also low. More importantly, Wang Xiao promised that if he returns to the school in the next few years, In the NBA, he would recommend to Pat that Jack should replace him as the head coach of Harvard University.

This is still very attractive to Jack.

So after receiving Wang Xiao's call, Jack thought it over, discussed it with his family, and finally decided to agree.

Just two days later, Jack came to Harvard to report and take office immediately.

To be honest, Wang Xiao was relatively unfamiliar with this black friend. After all, it was another memory of his own. Although Wang Xiao had inherited this memory, he still felt a little strange.

On the contrary, this Jack seems to have a very good relationship with Wang Xiao, and he gave Wang Xiao a warm hug as soon as they met.

"Hey, brother, you're really awesome. I'm almost surprised to see your news these days!" Jack said like a cannonball: "I didn't expect you to become the head coach of the Trail Blazers, and you even denied it." Oden chose Durant, I thought your coaching career was over, I called you for a long time, but your phone was always off..."

After some pleasantries, Wang Xiao briefly introduced the current status of the Harvard school team to Jack, and told him his idea of ​​making some achievements in this year's NCAA tournament.

Jack was obviously overwhelmed by Wang Xiao's bold words.

"Wang Xiao... How dare you think, let a team that was at the bottom of the Ivy League last year win the NCAA championship this year? This is probably even more difficult than winning the championship in the NBA!"

Shaking his head, Jack continued: "I know you must have put in a lot of effort to make the Harvard team into what it is today, but it's not just these problems..."

"Of course I know, that's why I invited you here." Wang Xiao said with a smile, "Don't you even dare to try?"

"Hmph, what's not to dare?" Wang Xiao's not-so-sophisticated aggressive method was very effective, and Jack was dissatisfied. "What do you need my help with?"

……

Due to the limitations of the system's functions, Wang Xiao couldn't stay away from the training ground, otherwise the effect of the training bonus would disappear.

Therefore, Jack is mainly responsible for Wang Xiao's troublesome intelligence collection and other issues.

He needs to go to many teams' games to observe the game, record the game video and analyze the player's style characteristics.

The workload of this work is not small. Taking the NCAA tournament as an example, it takes a week or two from the time when the opponent is determined by the lottery to the start of the game. It is definitely not an easy job to analyze all the characteristics of a player thoroughly.

Wang Xiao believed that Jack would definitely be qualified for the job.

After assigning this job to Jack, Wang Xiao can also focus on daily training.

Two months is really not a long time at all. He must seize the two months and try his best to rely on the experience gained in the NBA and the system's training bonus function to improve the level of the players.

In the intense training, time seems to pass like running water.

In a blink of an eye, Harvard ushered in the last game of the Ivy League.

In Harvard University's home arena, all the stands were almost packed with students, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the 10 players running back and forth on the field.

To be honest, Wang Xiao never saw so many spectators at Harvard's home court, and even many teachers and some adults who had graduated from Harvard also came to the scene.

Because this moment means a lot to them.

Before this game, Harvard University has been sweeping all the teams in the Ivy League with a near-invincible posture.

27 wins and 0 losses!

Such a result has never been achieved even by the eight teams in the entire Ivy League!

And if Harvard wins today's game, it will win the league trophy with a record of 28 wins and 0 losses!

Harvard University, which has never won any trophy in history, broke the shackles with such miraculous results. Such a feat naturally attracted the attention of many people, and many people hoped to witness the arrival of this moment with their own eyes.

only……

Perhaps because they felt the huge pressure, the Harvard players on the field did not perform particularly well, because they were emotional, unable to concentrate, and made frequent mistakes on the field. After the first half, the score of the two sides was 32:37. Harvard trailed by 5 points.

This is something that has never happened this season.

Wang Xiao understands that after all, there are only five children on the court. It is difficult for them to have a strong mentality like NBA professional players. Even many NBA professional players are lacking in this aspect. Many players who performed well in the regular season Playoffs tend to be poor.

He also knows that this hurdle must be passed by the players themselves, and they can guide them, but they must not exert pressure, which will often become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Wang Xiao is confident that they will be able to regain their status.

Sure enough, after the start of the second half, it was Jeremy Lin who broke out first!
