Chapter 57: Press conference

When Wang Xiao arrived in Washington, the Wizards were at the bottom of the league. After the regular season, the players were all on holiday.
But even so, the Wizards still solemnly held a press conference for Wang Xiao, officially announcing Wang Xiao as the head coach of the Wizards.
After traveling to this time and space for two years as a coach, Wang Xiao still had such treatment for the first time.
In the Wizards' press interview room, the team's general manager Glenfield chatted side by side, telling the Wizards how to consider Wang Xiao as the head coach of the new season. I believe Wang Xiao will lead The Wizards achieved good results next season.
Many reporters gathered in the interview hall. Although they all listened to the general manager's speech quietly, they could see from their eager expressions that they had suffocated questions and wanted to ask Wang Xiao.
After Glenfield finished his speech, it was reporters' free question and answer time.
Immediately, several reporters raised their hands.
Wang Xiao glanced at these reporters. "The third in the second row."
What Wang Xiao ordered was a blonde reporter who stood up and smiled and asked her own question.
"Hello, coach Wang Xiao, you are the youngest head coach in the history of NBA and the first Chinese coach to be hired by NBA. The choice of the Wizards is undoubtedly a risky investment. You think you can integrate well Go to the team?"
"First of all, correct it." Wang Xiao responded: "Two years ago, I was the head coach of a team, but it was only fired a few weeks later, so the youngest head coach record should be two. I kept it from years ago..."
Wang Xiao's words made a laugh in the interview hall.
The story of Wang Xiao and the Trailblazers is still talked about by many people. Now Wang Xiao is not a lunatic that people thought they were two years ago, but a wise eye-catching expert.
"As for whether you ask whether it can be well integrated into the team, I think there is no doubt that this is a necessary quality for a good coach. I can definitely do it."
Wang Xiao's answer made Glenfield beside him twitch.
What an arrogant answer? Do you think you are already a good coach? So it can be perfectly integrated into the team?
Obviously, the reporters also heard the meaning of Wang Xiao's sentence, so soon, another reporter asked.
"So what's your goal next season?"
"Of course it is to return to the playoffs." Wang Xiao replied without thinking.
The reporters were slightly disappointed by the satisfactory answer.
Although the Wizards are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference this season, after all, it is a strong team that has entered the playoffs for four consecutive years. If it is not the team core Arenas and Haywood reimbursed for the injury season, this season will not be so bad. The new season Arena Sis and Haywood returned from injury, and it is not particularly difficult to make the playoffs in the East where the competition pressure is relatively small.
Another reporter immediately asked: "So if the team enters the playoffs next season, what do you think will be achieved in the playoffs?"
At this time, he very much hopes that Wang Xiao can directly claim what he wants to win as he did in the ncaa interview.
Unfortunately, Wang Xiao is not a fool. How could it be said that way?
NBA and ncaa are qualitatively different. Even with the system in place and the advantage of the prophet and consciousness of the traverser, Wang Xiao does not believe that the Wizards can be transformed into a winning team in just one year.

So his response was only ambiguous.
The unwilling reporter asked several questions one after another, but Wang Xiao was not fooled at all.
There was only one problem that made the Wizards General Manager Glenfield sitting beside him couldn't help but jump.
"Coach Wang Xiao, Arenas is the main core player of the Washington Wizards. The previous two seasons were reimbursed for the injury season. This is one of the reasons why the Wizards have a poor record this season. However, it is reported that Arenas will complete the recovery in the summer, and The official comeback at the beginning of the new season." A reporter said: "Have you ever been in contact with Arenas? After coaching the Wizards, what is the role of Arenas in your tactical system? You How will he be used?"
What role does Arenas play in Wang Xiao's tactical system?
Glenfield knows this problem better than anyone else, because during the interview, Wang Xiao said straightforwardly, Arenas has no place in his tactical system, he will trade Arenas before the start of the new season. !
After listening to Wang Xiao's detailed description of Arenas' shortcomings and reading the detailed plan provided by Wang Xiao, both the team owner and himself as the general manager were a little touched.
Having said that, this is definitely not the best time to publish such remarks.
Wang Xiao has just joined the Wizards team, the foundation is still shallow, both the players and the "fans" of the ball are in a stage of not trusting him.
He was very worried that Wang Xiao would tell the matter directly.
If the whims of the Wizards preparing to trade the star in advance are exposed, I am afraid it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
But to his relief, Wang Xiao did not say, but praised Arenas fiercely, and almost praised him to heaven.
Wang Xiao is not stupid, although nba is not the same as the vegetable market, but all transactions are inseparable, and things are rare.
Show yourself ahead of time that the team does not want Arenas's idea, does it give others the opportunity to sit down from the ground?
Anyway, you are not ready to ask for it, I just buy it back at a low price.
Therefore, if you want to sell Arenas at a good price, you must make a very careful foreshadowing to make him a wizard-like non-selling product.
With this in mind, Wang Xiao's next speech is almost three lines without leaving Arenas. He deeply expressed his trust in Arenas. He firmly believes that as long as Arenas returns next season, the team will definitely lead him. Returning to NBA, he is the kind of powerful player who can change a team.
The side of Glenfield was stunned. He had never expected that Wang Xiao was such a brazen guy. He had previously counted the various deficiencies and defects of Arenas in front of him and the team owner. His career will never last long, and he must trade while he is still valuable.
But now he is bragging about Arenas without leaving any effort. The "actual" acting skills even Glenfield himself are about to believe!
The entire press conference lasted for about half an hour. When the news interview ended, the reporters looked at each other with a dumb face.
Hey? How does it feel a bit wrong?
A young reporter scratched his head and pulled another person by the side to ask: "Is the Wizards coach's press conference today or the Wizards Arenas' press conference?"
"Are you mentally ill? Of course it's the Wizards' head coach Wang Xiao's press conference!" The man who was dragged looked at the young reporter with contempt.
"But I just listened to the interview recorded in the recording. Why are two thirds of them all about Arenas?"
"..."
