The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Now that he has decided to complete the task in the Bucks, Wang Xiao naturally has to plan carefully.

He has already chosen the deceitful target.

The first goal is to get the No. 2 Magic team, and the second alternative goal is to get the No. 3 Jazz.

Those two teams don't have low draft picks, but that shouldn't be a problem.

Among the rookies in 2014, there are not many powerful potential rookies, and Andrew Wiggins is the most touted one.

Wiggins was elected Mr. Basketball in the United States in high school, and even ranked first in the rankings of high school students in the United States.

After entering college, Wiggins was elected the best rookie of the year in the Big 12 League by the Associated Press, and was successfully selected to the first team of the Big 12 League.

Such a rookie is a dazzling diamond in the eyes of many scouts, priceless, and a player who is bound to become an All-Star!

In comparison, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon, Marcus Smart and other players are much inferior.

The only Joel Embiid who can compete with Wiggins or even better in terms of potential is due to injuries, and his evaluation has dropped again and again.

There is a high probability that the Magic and the Jazz will not be interested in Embiid, because both teams have centers, and they are both young centers with potential.

The Magic have Vucevic and the Jazz have Kanter.

In contrast, they are more interested in an outside player who has the potential to become a top superstar.

Andrew Wiggins fits the bill very well.

The Magic and Jazz also have players that Wang Xiao is more interested in.

Victor Oladipo, Gordon Hayward.

The former was not valued by the Magic as the No. 3 player last season. After playing for the Magic for three years, he was traded to the Thunder, and Ibaka was the only one who sent him along with Eisen Ilyasso. Watts was sent to the Thunder along with Domantas Sabonis, the No. 11 rookie in 2016.

And the latter, as the main player of the Jazz, although he is not ignored like Oladipo, it is not for sale. After all, Hayward has only 16 points after entering the league for 10 years and playing in the league for four years. With 5 rebounds and 5 assists, the average field goal percentage is just over 40%, and the efficiency is not high.

Relying on the attraction of Wiggins and a few draft picks, Wang Xiao is not afraid that they will not be hooked. After all, no one knows the news of Wang Xiao joining the Bucks.

If one of these two people can be obtained through a trade, plus Antetokounmpo and Jokic, the basic framework of the Bucks will be there. If a big fish can be added in the free market, the system upgrade will be completed. The task is just around the corner!

...

The time for the draft is June 26, which is about two weeks after the finals.

In the past two weeks, the management of the Wizards has called Wang Xiao several times, hoping to discuss matters related to contract renewal with Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao knew very well that the general manager of the Wizards really didn't want him to renew his contract. After all, his power was too great and he had violated the rights that originally belonged to the general manager.

However, due to the pressure from the team owner, the general manager had to renew the contract with Wang Xiao and continue to distribute his rights.

Wang Xiao didn't directly refuse, but he didn't agree either, he just delayed with some reasons.

Although they have worked together for many years, Wang Xiao still doesn't like this general manager partner very much, and he can't guarantee that the other party will keep the secret.

Before the end of the draft, he doesn't seem to let his secret of joining the Bucks be exposed, which will make him have no room for manipulation in the draft.

Wang Xiao procrastinated not to renew the contract, the general manager of the Wizards was naturally happy, Wang Xiao is not in a hurry, why is he in a hurry? And in this way, the boss also explained that it was Wang Xiao who delayed the contract and had nothing to do with him.

During this period, the Basketball Association also urged Wang Xiao to return to China for an interview as soon as possible.

Wang Xiao ignored it.

If you urge, just urge, anyway, with the support of a big boss, can you still refuse directly because I am late?

As the draft is approaching, the Wizards also feel that something is wrong.

Wang Xiao has not renewed his contract, nor has he arranged any trial training activities before the draft. What is this for?

Wizards owner Leonsis couldn't bear it anymore and called Wang Xiao.

"Wang, tell me the truth, are you not planning to renew your contract with the team?"

On the phone, when Leonsis asked this question, Wang Xiao could only admit it.

"Yes, in the new season, I want to change teams."

"Why? Are there any problems in the team?" Leonsis was very puzzled, "Everything in the team is up to you, and I am 100% responsible for your work Support, why are you unwilling to listen to continuous offers and insist on leaving the team?"

Wang Xiao thought for a while, and then said: "If you insist on saying it, it may not be challenging."

"No...challenging?" If the two were on a video call, Leonsis' face at one end of the screen would be full of question marks.

"The current Wizards team is almost perfect from the lineup to the tactical system. There is no room for improvement, and there is no challenge." Wang Xiao explained carefully: "No matter which head coach coaches this team The team will easily win the championship."

Anyway, I have to leave anyway, so I might as well pretend to be fresh and refined, and then leave.

"Under my leadership, the Wizards have won three consecutive championships and have a record of 73 wins in the regular season. I will continue to stay in the Wizards, and I will just repeat what I have done before. This is not me. want."

There was a long silence on the phone, and then Leonsis said slowly: "Well, Wang, you have your pursuit, and I respect your choice, but I hope you know that I am very grateful for your support over the years. Everything the Wizards do, me and the Wizards will always have doors open for you!"

...

A few days later, the Wizards officially published a statement announcing that they had reached an agreement with assistant coach Steve Kerr. The two parties will sign a 4-year contract. head coach.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the alliance!

Wang Xiao doesn't coach the Wizards anymore?

It is the most common thing for a head coach to dismiss get out of class in the NBA. Basically, at least three or four coaches will dismiss get out of get out of class in a season, and it is not an exaggeration to even double digits in many cases.

But Wang Xiao is different, this is a dynasty coach who just led his team to win three consecutive championships!

At the end of the finals, most of the media firmly believed that Wang Xiao would definitely renew his contract with the Wizards. The two sides were in the honeymoon period at this time, and there was absolutely no reason to break up.

However, all of this happened, and it was so sudden, so sudden that even the players of the Wizards didn't react at all.
