Chapter 67 Open a small stove
In addition to Curry Harden's two high-ranking rookies, young players such as Beverly, Danny Green, Jordan Jr., McGee, and Nick Young all got a lot of appearance time in the summer league.
But the performance of these few people did not attract the attention of chief assistant Walter.
It's not that the performance of these few people is not good, but that the two players Curry and Harden are far superior to other rookies in terms of draft picks, current abilities and potential. The main attention is on Curry Harden.
Although the performance of Beverly and others in the summer league was very good, they did not reach an amazing level, and it is normal that they did not receive the attention they deserved.
After the summer league is over, it will enter a relatively long offseason.
From August to the end of September, it is the league's offseason. Players can use the nearly two months to relax and take vacations or to practice and improve their skills.
Curry was supposed to be going home to spend the holidays with his family.
But just before he was about to leave, he received a call from the team's head coach Wang Xiao.
"Stephen, what are your plans for the holiday?"
"I'm going home to see my parents, coach..." Curry replied, feeling a little strange why the head coach called him suddenly.
"If you don't have anything important, do you want to consider staying in 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 made Curry's heart skip a beat.
"Good coach, when will it start?"
To be honest, Curry was not particularly satisfied with his performance during the summer league.
He feels that compared with NBA players, he still has a lot of shortcomings.
As soon as he was on vacation, he couldn’t wait to go home. On the one hand, he wanted to see his family. On the other hand, he also imagined his father asking for advice. Although the old Curry is not a superstar, he has played in the NBA for 16 years. He has rich experience and unique vision. , Many times Curry will ask his father for anything he doesn't understand.
Now, the head coach of the team, Wang Xiao, actually called him personally to invite him. How could he refuse?
Curry has always been curious about the head coach Wang Xiao.
A year ago, he met Jeremy Lin in the NCAA championship. The strength of the opponent left a deep impression on him. It was the first time he saw an Asian player so strong.
And Jeremy Lin was trained by Wang Xiao.
Thinking of Wang Xiao actually going to teach him by himself, Curry felt very looking forward to it.
……
In the Wizards training hall, Curry met Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao was wearing a tracksuit with a spoon hanging on his chest, looking like a trainer.
In fact, before Wang Xiao crossed over, the other person did the most work as an assistant coach, so Wang Xiao can be said to be familiar with this line of work.
At the same time, Curry also discovered that besides Curry, there were several players in the training hall.
Harden, Danny Green, Beverly, the four rookies selected by Wang Xiao this year are all there.
"This……"
Curry was a little surprised, but Wang Xiao who saw Curry was already waving.
"Now that you're all 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 I personally selected in the draft. I think you all have great potential. You can definitely adapt to the NBA and play your due value. But for now, you don't have the potential. Such ability."
"The current Wizards are already in a semi-reconstruction stage. More than half of the team's players are rookies, and next season I plan to reuse rookies and give you a lot of playing time."
As soon as Wang Xiao said this, Beverly and Green's eyes were measured.
To be honest, during this period of time, Curry and Harden did not have much pressure, but the pressure of these two people was quite high.
The reason is simple. Arenas has been traded, and the important positions of Curry and Harden on the team's guard line are almost certain, but Beverly's position conflicts with Curry, and Green is playing small forward. The starting small forward of the Wizards is Caron Butler, the All-Star, and the best sixth man Mike Miller who was just traded. No matter how you look at it, Green has very few opportunities.
Now that there is a guarantee of playing time admitted by the head coach, how could the two of them not be surprised.
"However, how many opportunities you will get next season and how much playing time you will have will depend on your efforts and progress during training during this period."
As Wang Xiao said, he looked at the four of them one by one, and said seriously.
……
It was Wang Xiao's temporary idea to use the holiday to give the players a small talk, but it was also carefully considered.
At present, Wang Xiao's system has accumulated close to 4 victory points, and in the summer league, the team won 400 games, and Wang Xiao actually added another [-] victory points.
This is what Wang Xiao did not expect.
The Las Vegas Summer League was officially accepted by the NBA in 07, and it was also included in the category of NBA official events. As the head coach of the Wizards, although he did not personally go to Las Vegas with the team, the team won Wang Xiao's victory is still counted on Wang Xiao's head.
In this way, Wang Xiao also realized that there are more ways for him to obtain victory points than he imagined.
Summer league is one thing, and there's preseason on top of that.
In the 09-10 season, the NBA officially arranged seven preseason games for each team. From the beginning of October to October 10 before the official start of the regular season, the preseason games were all time.
That's why he temporarily decided to use the training system to help players practice during the holidays.
Due to the limited energy of one person, the maximum number of players Wang Xiao can take care of is 4 players, so he only called the 4 rookies who were selected.
After the bonus function of the training module started, Wang Xiao began to guide Curry and others to train.
However, as they practiced, everyone in Curry felt something was wrong.
This training...why is it all three-point training?
The whole morning, the four of them spent the three-point shooting practice.
A three-pointer with a tentative step from the top arc, a quick three-pointer after catching the ball from the bottom corner, and a three-pointer after the pick-and-roll...
Except for various three-point shooting exercises, Wang Xiao had no other training at all.
Even Curry, who uses three-pointers as his main offensive method, feels very strange.
"Coach, why have we been practicing three-point shooting?"
Finally, Curry couldn't bear to ask Wang Xiao like this.
And Wang Xiao's answer also stunned Curry and the other three who secretly pricked up their ears.
"Because the team's regular tactic next season is three-pointers."
