Chapter 67: Open a small stove

In addition to Curry Harden's two high-ranking rookies, Beverly, Danny Green, Jordan Jr., McKee, Nick Young and other young players have gained a lot of playing time in the Summer League.
But the performance of these people did not attract the attention of the chief assistant Walt.
It's not that these people are not performing well, but that the two players, Curry and Harden, are far ahead of the rest of the rookie in terms of draft picks, current capabilities and potential. As the Wizards' future star of hope, Walter 'S main focus is on Curry Harden.
Although the performance of Beverly and others in the summer league is very good, it has not reached an amazing level, and it is normal to not get the attention they deserve.
After the summer league, the next offseason will be entered.
From August to the end of September, it is the offseason of the league. Players can use these two months to relax their vacation or improve their skills.
Curry was originally planning to go home and reunite with his family on vacation.
But just before he was about to leave, he received a call, a call from the team coach Wang Xiao.
"Steven, what are your plans for the holiday?"
"I'm going home to see my parents, the coach..." Curry replied, and he felt a little strange psychologically, why the head coach would call him suddenly.
"If you don't have anything that matters, do you want to consider staying with the team for training?" Wang Xiao said on the other side of the phone: "I will give you some advice on training."
Wang Xiao's words moved Curry.
"Good coach, when does it start?"
To be honest, Curry was not particularly satisfied with his performance in the summer league.
He feels that he still has a lot of shortcomings compared to nba players.
He couldn’t wait to go home as soon as he was on vacation. On the one hand, he wanted to see his family. On the other hand, he also imagined his father asking for advice. Although old Curry was not a superstar, he played for 16 years at nba. Many times, Curry will ask his father if he doesn’t understand something.
Now, Wang Xiao, the team's head coach, actually called to invite him personally. How could he refuse?
Curry has always been curious about Wang Xiao, the head coach.
He encountered Jeremy Lin in the ncaa championship a year ago. The strength of the opponent left a deep impression on him. For the first time, he saw Asian players so strong.
Jeremy Lin was hand-tuned by Wang Xiao.
The thought of Wang Xiao actually wanting to teach him personally, Curry felt very much looking forward to.
...
Curry saw Wang Xiao in the Wizards' training hall.
Wang Xiao was wearing a sports suit with a spoon on his chest, just like a trainer.
In fact, before Wang Xiao crossed, the other job he did most was assistant coach work, so Wang Xiao could be said to be familiar with this line of business.
At the same time, Curry also found that in addition to Curry, there are several players in the training hall.
Harden, Danny Green, Beverly, all four rookies selected by Wang Xiao this year are actually there.
"This……"
Curry was a little surprised, but seeing Curry's Wang Xiao was already beckoning.
"Since everything is here, let me say a few words first."

Calling the four together, Wang Xiao looked at the four young players.
"The four of you are all players that I personally picked at the draft. I think you all have great potential. You can definitely adapt to the NBA and play the due value, but for now, you don’t have the Such ability."
"Now the Wizards are already in a stage of semi-reconstruction. More than half of the team's players are newcomers, and next season I will be ready to reuse newcomers and give you a lot of playing time."
As soon as Wang Xiao said this, Beverly and Green's eyes were the same.
To be honest, during this time, Curry and Harden were not stressed, but the pressure of these two people was quite large.
The reason is simple, Arenas has been traded, the important position of the team's guards Curry and Harden can almost be nailed down, but Beverly's position conflicts with Curry, and Green is playing small forward, The Wizards' starting small forward is All-Star Caron Butler. In addition, there is the best sixth man Mike Miller who has only traded. How do you think Green has few opportunities.
Now there is a guarantee of playing time personally admitted by the head coach, how could the two of them not be surprised.
"However, how much chance you can get next season and how much playing time you have depends on how hard and how much progress you have made during the training period."
Wang Xiao said, looking at each other one by one, and said very seriously.
...
Using holiday to open a small stove for players is Wang Xiao's temporary intention, but it is also carefully considered.
At present, Wang Xiao's system has accumulated nearly three thousand wins, and in the summer league, the team won four games, and Wang Xiao actually increased by 400 points.
This was unexpected by Wang Xiao.
The Summer League of Las Vegas was officially accepted by nba in 2007, and was also included in the category of nba official games. As the head coach of the Wizards, although they did not personally travel to Las Vegas with the team, the team can get 'S victory still counts on Wang Xiao's head.
As a result, Wang Xiao also realized that he had more ways to win the victory than expected.
The summer league is one thing, in addition to the preseason.
In the 09-10 season, NBA officially arranged seven preseason games for each team. From the beginning of October to the official start of the regular season on October 27, it was the time for the preseason.
Therefore, he will temporarily decide to use the training system to help the players to practice.
Due to a person's limited energy, the maximum number of people Wang Xiao can take care of is 4 players, so he only called the 4 selected rookie players.
After the bonus function of the training module started, Wang Xiao began to instruct Curry and others to train.
However, with practice, several people in Curry felt something was wrong.
How can this training be a three-point training?
All morning, four people spent the three-point shooting training.
Try three points in the top arc, catch three points at the bottom corner and take three points after the pick and roll...
In addition to various three-point practice, Wang Xiao did not have any other training at all.
Even Curry, who uses three-pointers as his main offensive method, feels very strange.
"Coach, why do we practice "shooting" three-pointers?"
Finally, Curry couldn't help asking Wang Xiao like this.
Wang Xiao's answer also stunned Curry and the other three who secretly raised their ears.
"Because the team's regular tactic next season is a three-pointer."
