Chapter 8 The Heat's Invitation
"Hello? Jack? How's it going?"
"I'm sorry, Wang, there is no news yet, just wait."
"OK, thanks."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiao couldn't help but sighed.
Although it has been expected that it will not be so easy, the current situation is still too bad.
It has been more than a month since he selected Durant and was expelled by the Blazers. Except for Portland fans who occasionally saw Durant’s promotional posters and spit on the ground angrily, the entire NBA sports circle seems to have died. Completely forget the existence of Wang Xiao.
This is natural. In the NBA, the exposure rate of players is much higher than that of coaches. I am afraid that more than 95% of NBA viewers call the names of coaches of less than 30 teams. Be remembered by people, such as Phil Jackson, Popovich.
Wang Xiao is a stupid head coach who has done stupid things in everyone's eyes. He was only mentioned as a chat and ridicule object after dinner. When the media no longer mentions his name, people will naturally forget his name.
But this is only for ordinary fans. In the eyes of those who work in the professional basketball industry, Wang Xiao is definitely blacklisted.
A head coach can ignore the team owner and general manager, go his own way or even sing against them. Which team dares to use this kind of head coach?The whole team hasn't been messed up by him yet?
His 5-year assistant coach career in the Blazers should have been his brilliant resume, but now it has become a reason for major teams to reject him.
NBA teams don't even have to think about it. Even NBDL teams don't want to use Wang Xiao. After hearing Wang Xiao's name, the major basketball schools in the NCAA also shook their heads and declined.
"The problem is a bit big..."
The situation is much more complicated than Wang Xiao imagined.
This is not only the reason why I died in the draft, but also a very important reason... I am an Asian.
In this time and space, another person can climb up to the position of head coach of the Trail Blazers little by little, but this does not mean that the entire American basketball circle has recognized the status of Asian basketball.
For an Asian to go to the United States and want to be the head coach here, this matter itself is incredible.
Frowning deeply, Wang Xiao began to hesitate a little.
"Should I... go back to China and find a job as a head coach, activate the system before talking about anything else?"
The activation requirement for the system is to be the head coach of a publicly recognized team.
There is no doubt that the CBA team is absolutely qualified.
Although I can't get along in the United States, but I have spent my golden status in the NBA. After returning to China, I should still be able to attract the interest of some teams.
Moreover, returning to China to make a name for himself first, and then looking for opportunities to return to the NBA is at least much better than waiting here, and CBA can be regarded as a simple mode compared to the NBA or even the NBDL, and it is also convenient for him to exercise.
Just when Wang Xiao was hesitating, an unexpected email threw him into agitation.
It was the management team of the Miami Heat who sent the mail.
In the email, the other party stated that after receiving Wang Xiao's resume, he considered it carefully and finally decided to interview Wang Xiao.
The Miami Heat are actually interested in themselves?
Wang Xiao himself felt incredible.
You know, last season, the Heat stepped on the Mavericks to win the championship. Although they were shamefully swept out in the first round last season, they became the first defending champion to be swept out in the first round since 2000. In this way, the Heat are still one of the league's strong teams, much stronger than the Trail Blazers.
Wang Xiao, who is familiar with the plot, knows that the Heat's record in the following season will be even worse. Injuries and deliberate poor performance, the Heat only won 15 games, and then the team's head coach Pat Riley retired behind the scenes to accept In 10 years, he successfully recruited James and Bosh to form a Big Three combination that shocked the entire league.
Looking at it this way, it's not surprising that the Heat want to find a head coach. This season, the Heat are going to be bad, and Pat Riley has long wanted to retreat to the second line.
Wang Xiao is likely to be the one chosen to take the blame.
But he doesn't care, as long as he can become the NBA head coach to activate the system, so what if he takes the blame?Anyway, when the time comes, I will be the head coach, and I will have the final say on how the team will play. Once he leads the team to achieve results, even if the team fires him, he won't have to worry about finding the team after he proves his ability!
After receiving the invitation, Wang Xiao immediately booked a plane ticket and rushed to Miami, where the Heat are located.
After arriving at the Heat, Wang Xiao was surprised again. The person who interviewed him was actually the head coach of the Miami Heat, the legendary coach Pat Riley.
Looking at the unsmiling middle-aged man sitting behind the desk, Wang Xiao was surprisingly calm.
"Hello, Mr. Riley, I'm Wang Xiao."
"You are that Mr. Wang Xiao..."
Pat Riley looked up at Wang Xiao, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Please sit down."
After Wang Xiao sat down, Riley said slowly: "I have read your resume, and I am very curious about your experience and what you did in the draft not long ago... Now I will ask you a question Question, if you become the head coach of the Heat, what can you bring to this team?"
"Victory!" Wang Xiao said succinctly. Facing the legendary NBA coach, he was not timid at all and appeared extremely confident. "I can bring the Heat a game of victory, and I can also bring the Heat a championship trophy."
"Don't be ashamed!"
Regarding Wang Xiao's confident answer, Riley sneered, "It's up to you? Do you know that many NBA head coaches can't win an O'Brien trophy in their lifetime. How can you, an Asian, have the right to say such a thing?" ?”
Wang Xiao frowned slightly.
Is this old man talking a little angry?what's the situation?
Wang Xiao is not a good-tempered person, and even a mild-tempered person would get angry after hearing what Riley said.
What is "What qualifications do you, an Asian, have to say such a thing?"
What's wrong with Asians?Have you eaten your rice?
Just when Wang Xiao was about to go back, Riley laughed again, "But it's good for young people to have self-confidence, I appreciate it."
As he said that, he took out a contract from the drawer and handed it to Wang Xiao, "Actually, when I saw your resume, I already decided to keep you. This is a contract. Once you sign this contract, you can Worked for the Heat."
Wang Xiao took the contract, and after a cursory glance, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Pat Riley, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting." Riley said with a smile: "The team is short of a toilet cleaning staff recently. I have read your resume and think you are suitable for this job. With your ability, you must be qualified."
