The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

"Actually, I can probably guess why you're here."

Seeing Yi Jianlian who was a little stiff, Wang Xiao smiled and spoke in Chinese. "Don't be too nervous, I'm also very familiar with Dayao, and Jeremy Lin's relationship, not to mention we are all Chinese, I'm sure I'd like to help you."

"Really?" Yi Jianlian's eyes lit up, and he said in Chinese, "Thank you so much, Coach Wang."

After finishing speaking, Yi Jianlian couldn't help saying sorry when he saw Jeremy Lin who looked confused.

Jeremy Lin, who grew up in the United States, does not know Chinese. Although he gradually began to learn Chinese after mixing with Wang Xiao, after all, he had to complete his studies and insist on training in college, so he didn’t have much time to work hard. Learning, in Chinese, is also limited to simple words such as "hello", "thank you", "have you eaten".

"Let's chat in English." Wang Xiao also said with a smile.

...

The reason why Yi Jianlian came to him was similar to what Wang Xiao had guessed.

Not long ago, Yi Jianlian's agent submitted a contract renewal application to the Nets, hoping to renew his contract with the team in advance.

However, the team did not accept it, but instead expressed the hope that after the end of the season, the free market will start to renew the contract.

This situation is very common, and Yi Jianlian didn't think much about it.

But as the main core of the team's team building, Jeremy Lin got a little different news.

For Yi Jianlian, the Nets have completely lost patience and are not prepared to renew the contract with Yi Jianlian at all.

Even some time ago, the Nets had started asking around for prices, trying to trade Yi Jianlian out.

Unfortunately, no one cares.

Four years is enough time for the team's scouts to see clearly that Yi Jianlian is not the second Yao, and his level is still far behind the NBA.

Now, he has been unable to achieve results in the team. Once this season is over, Yi Jianlian may not be accepted by the team and can only return to China to develop.

In fact, if it weren't for Wang Xiao's appearance to incite the butterfly wings, Yi Jianlian would have been traded to the Wizards by the Nets after the draft, and then returned to the CBA to play in the CBA after the contract expired due to the suspension of the NBA.

After the NBA lockout ended, Yi Jianlian signed a contract with the Dallas Mavericks with a minimum salary of one year and became Nowitzki's substitute. Unfortunately, Yi Jianlian still failed to perform at the Mavericks level, so a year later, there is no ideal next home. Yi Jianlian finally decided to return to the CBA to continue his development.

Regarding Yi Jianlian's future experience, Wang Xiao feels rather regretful. After all, Yi Jianlian is the only Chinese player who has a chance to gain a foothold in the NBA after Dayao. (Chinese-American Jeremy Lin does not count.)

It's a pity that due to strength on the one hand and luck on the other hand, Yi Jianlian did not take root in the league like Dayao.

So Wang Xiao doesn't mind helping Yi Jianlian now.

...

"I already understand the general situation."

After hearing Yi Jianlian's statement, Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "So, now you find me, do you want me to help you improve your strength and continue to play in the NBA?"

"Yes." Yi Jianlian nodded and looked at Wang Xiao expectantly.

"I'm afraid it's not easy..." Wang Xiao shook his head, looked at Yi Jianlian and said, "No training can take effect in a short time."

"Well, I know that." A trace of disappointment flashed in Yi Jianlian's eyes, but he also agreed.

As a professional player, he certainly understands this truth, but now he really has no choice, so he has expectations because of Wang Xiao's legendary story.

Of course, what Wang Xiao said was theoretical. With the assistance of the system, a high-level growth template card and a large number of training modules can quickly give birth to a capable player.

Jeremy Lin is a representative figure.

But Wang Xiao no longer has a high-level growth template card in his hand, and Yi Jianlian is over 20 years old, so the growth template card can no longer take effect on him. The most important thing is that Yi Jianlian is not a player under Wang Xiao's name. It can't have the slightest effect on it.

"I think coach, you must have a way." At this time, Jeremy Lin spoke. He already had a kind of blind admiration for Wang Xiao. Wang Xiao had no doubts. The value is definitely higher than all Wizards players including Curry.

"Of course there is a way."

Wang Xiao chuckled.

"Yi Jianlian, do you know? In the Wizards, I have the right to make trade decisions. I can decide whether every player will stay or stay, including signing any player." Wang Xiao said to Yi Jianlian.

Hearing Wang Xiao's words, Yi Jianlian's eyes lit up.

Wang Xiaowu is clearly expressing him that the Wizards can definitely sign him this summer.

"But... that doesn't mean you can sit back and relax." The smile on Wang Xiao's face gradually decreased and became serious, "I smashed my own brand, so you must show enough strength to impress me."

Enough strength?

Yi Jianlian was a little dazed again.

Strength, if I had strength, would I still use it to find you?

Although he thought so in his heart, Yi Jianlian didn't dare to say it directly.

Fortunately, Wang Xiao immediately explained.

"The strength I am talking about, of course, does not mean that you can immediately show your strength in the NBA, but show me your value."

"It's hard to put it bluntly. Although we are compatriots and should help each other, as the head coach of a team, I also have to consider the position of the team. It is impossible to sign a player with no value regardless."

Yi Jianlian and Jeremy Lin were silent after hearing this.

Wang Xiao was right, there is no such thing as a free lunch, so why would someone give a worthless player a contract?

"How can I prove it?"

Yi Jianlian asked.

"It's very simple, you need to prove two points to me in the next six months."

Wang Xiao raised two fingers and said: "First, you need to develop a stable three-pointer, and you can at least maintain a hit rate of more than 80% in the case of open shots."

More than 80% hit rate for open space?

When Yi Jianlian heard this, he couldn't help but gasped.

That's the three-point shooting percentage. Although he has the ability to shoot from the outside, even if it is an open shot, he will never have such a high shooting percentage.

But Wang Xiao immediately made a second request.

"Secondly, you need to reduce your weight and make your feet move faster, um... I can't give you a clear data on how far you want to go, but it's definitely not that you can walk slowly like you are now Passed."

"If you can meet my requirements within half a year, then I can let you play for the Wizards and give you a total contract." Wang Xiao said solemnly: "But if you can't... then I can only apologize gone."
