Chapter 912 Chen Xiaohe Becomes a Consumable Head Coach of the US Team!

Although the photo of Chen Xiao and Xiao Chen is very popular in NBA public opinion circles, everyone is looking forward to the cooperation between Chen Xiao and Xiao Chen next season.

But in NBA professional circles, the cooperation between Chen Xiao and Xiao Chen in the Nets did not cause such a big shock.

After all, although Chen Xiao is very strong and is the number one player in the league, and Xiao Chen is also the number one pick, the Nets' overall strength is not strong.

Chen Xiao, Xiao Chen and Ingram are the three strongest players on the Nets.

In addition to these three people, people like Drummond, Bruce Brown, Joe Harris, Claxton, Cameron Thomas and others are of average strength.

As far as the Nets' current strength is concerned, if they were placed in the NBA more than 20 years ago, they would still be considered a strong team, but now.

In the East, the Nets may not be a match for the Heat and Bucks.

Therefore, regarding the fact that Chen Xiao finally left the Warriors and went to the Nets, the professional circles in the NBA were actually filled with relief.

If Chen Xiao continues to stay with the Warriors, the Warriors will still be one of the strongest teams in the league.

But now that Chen Xiao has left, the Warriors will also fall with Chen Xiao.

Let's put it this way, even if Chen Xiao is over 40 years old, as long as Chen Xiao still has the strength to reach the finals, it will be a huge pressure on any team in the league.

After all, Chen Xiao has never failed in 11 finals.

This kind of deterrence is simply greater than Real Madrid's deterrence in the Champions League final.

So no matter what happens to the Nets in the future, in these two seasons, it will be difficult for the Nets to form a combat effectiveness.

And this is also the outside world's evaluation of the Nets this season. Chen Xiao doesn't have much thought about these people's evaluations.

In fact, Chen Xiao has not practiced with the team since he came to the Nets.

After all, the season is over, and the summer league is now underway, and it is impossible for the Nets' main players to participate in the summer league.

Therefore, Chen Xiao is not in a hurry at all.

However, Chen Xiao is not in a hurry, but other players on the Nets are very anxious.

For example, Ingram, Drummond and Joe Harris, Bruce Brown, Claxton and others.

After all, for the Nets, the most important players next season are Chen Xiao and Xiao Chen.

In the future, the Nets will be rebuilt with these two as the core.

In this case, other players must adapt to Chen Xiao and Xiao Chen.

As for the way Chen Xiao and Xiao Chen play, they need space around them.

And Drummond, Bruce Brown, Claxton and others are all players without space ability.

Therefore, many experts are analyzing the Nets' operations this offseason: these Nets players who have no shooting range will definitely leave the team.

And this is why the Nets players are anxious.

Chen Xiao actually understands the current situation of the Nets, so before leaving New Jersey, Chen Xiao gave these Nets players a reassurance that the Nets will not do too many operations this offseason.

In fact, after acquiring Chen Xiao and Xiao Chen, Kidd wanted to make some big moves this summer.

But Chen Xiao stopped him.

Although Chen Xiao hopes to get more suitable helpers, he still doesn't know which helpers are suitable.

At the same time, at this time, the whole world knew that the Nets were going to build a team around Chen Xiao. Under this situation, if Kidd wanted to make a big move, he would definitely have to sell the team's assets at a low price.

After all, if the Nets want to get help for Chen Xiao, they can't offer a big contract in the free market, because the Nets don't have that much salary space now.

Therefore, it can only be done through transactions.

As for these Nets players, if everyone feels that they are not suitable for Chen Xiao and want to send them away, then their transaction value will definitely be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Kidd's operation will probably be more and more helpful.

In this case, it is better to stay still and let Chen Xiao and Xiao Chen lead the team next season.

Kidd was actually relieved about Chen Xiao's decision.

Although Kidd also wants to make a big splash, he is not stupid. He configured this net for Irving.

Although both Chen Xiao and Irving are good at singles, Chen Xiao and Irving's current singles styles are completely different. As for Irving's breakthrough ability in singles, neither Chen Xiao nor Xiao Chen can do it.

Irving can even hit two in a small area. Therefore, Irving actually does not need such a large space when playing singles.

But both Chen Xiao and Xiao Xiaochen need it.

However, although the theory is like this, both Chen Xiao and Xiao Chen can play multiple positions. Therefore, Kidd is actually looking forward to whether the two of them can create other sparks when they cooperate with each other.

In August 2022, after Chen Xiao and Xiao Chen left the United States, they reunited with the Chinese men's basketball team in Japan.

This year's Men's Basketball World Cup is jointly hosted by Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines.

Because basketball is becoming more and more influential in the world, the competition for the right to host this year's World Cup is very fierce. In the end, several popular countries knew that they had little chance of hosting it alone, so they chose to join forces.

Japan, South Korea and the Philippines are jointly hosting the tournament, while on the other side are Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay.

In the end, the three Asian countries with greater economic advantages won the right to host the event.

Let's put it this way, the center of world basketball is now in Asia, and Asia has economic advantages. Therefore, Asian countries have a huge advantage in hosting the Basketball World Cup.

And because of the huge controversy between the Japanese women's basketball team and the Korean women's basketball team in the 2021 Olympics, the hottest public opinion in Japan and South Korea in the past year has been basketball.

By the way, now the Men's Basketball World Cup and Women's Basketball World Cup have been unified.

The Men's Basketball World Cup will be held in these three countries from August 25th to September 10th.

The Women's Basketball World Cup will be held in these three countries on September 22.

Therefore, a very interesting thing happened. If in other countries, Chen Xiao appeared with the Chinese men's basketball team, it would definitely create the greatest traffic.

But after Chen Xiao brought the Chinese men's basketball team to Japan, he discovered that the biggest traffic in Japan was undoubtedly the women's basketball team.

When Chen Xiao was wandering around Japan, everywhere he went, there were photos of the Japanese women's basketball team.

Saito Asuka, Hashimoto Kanna, Minatozaki Saka...

This year’s Japanese women’s basketball team has eight girls who are idols.

The remaining four are tall, blue-collar players in the paint.

Let's put it this way, whether it's Japan or South Korea, outside players are basically dominated by female idols.

Therefore, the current basketball promotion in Japan and South Korea basically relies on this group of female idols.

For example, one of the most popular anime series in Japan this year is an anime based on the Japanese women's basketball team.

This anime has a great influence not only in Japan, but also throughout Asia.

After all, the whole world now knows that in the entire women's basketball world, apart from the United States, the three Asian countries are the strongest.

Now among the three Asian countries, the Chinese team is once again the best, and Japan and South Korea are in love with each other. Under this situation, they are actually the most popular.

After all, the Japan-South Korea women's basketball war at last year's Olympic Games has been criticized for a whole year, and it seems that it will continue this year.

Maybe in this World Cup, old grudges have not gone away, but new grudges will be added.

Therefore, Chen Xiao was quite emotional when he came to Japan again this time.

When he accepted FIBA's request to promote basketball in Japan and South Korea, Chen Xiao really never thought that he could achieve this level.

Let's put it this way, Chen Xiao's idea at the time was to achieve whatever level he could.

As for whether basketball can really take root in Japan and South Korea, that is really a personal matter.

After all, although these two countries are not basketball deserts, they really don't have much soil left for basketball.

but now……

It can only be said that all this is far beyond Chen Xiao's imagination.

Not only was it beyond Chen Xiao's imagination, in fact, as the driving force behind this matter, FIBA ​​had never thought of such a thing.

Let's put it this way, if the center of FIFA is in Europe, then the center of FIBA ​​is now completely in Asia.

After all, the world's largest basketball school is in Asia, the world's most fanatical fans are in Asia, and the strongest national basketball team is also in Asia.

Although the women's basketball team does not have the strongest team in the world, three of the four strongest teams in the world are in Asia.

Moreover, there is more money in Asia.

Even the Asian men's and women's basketball teams have successfully hosted basketball championships.

The men’s basketball team has the NBA, but the men’s basketball team’s Asian Champions League is not even ranked first.

But in terms of women's basketball, let's put it this way, the Asian Champions League of women's basketball is the most valuable game in the entire women's basketball world.

Because women's basketball is so popular in Asia, there are many sponsors and high wages. Many WNBA stars are willing to come to Asia to seek gold, including many WNBA superstars and No. 1 picks.

The current women's basketball salaries in the three Asian countries, the salaries of top players are already several times that of the WNBA.

This is no exaggeration at all.

By the way, Beyond Sister and Hashimoto Kanna have returned to China and Japan from the WNBA.

Chaoyue's sister's salary in the women's basketball team is 5 million per year. This is the maximum salary in the CBA, while the maximum salary in the American WNBA is only a mere US$150,000.

Moreover, the maximum salary in Japan and South Korea is actually similar to the maximum salary in China.

If it were you and you were a WNBA superstar, you would actually make your own choice.

And what’s interesting is that although the women’s basketball leagues in China, Japan and South Korea all allow foreign players, each team can only use one foreign player. Therefore, the requirements for strength are extremely high, and generally WNBA stars cannot enter.

Moreover, the Asian Women's Basketball League is very focused on appearance. Not only must they play well, but they must also be good-looking.

Therefore, the involution of the women's basketball team is very serious.

Of course, it is very involved and makes a lot of money. For Japanese and Korean female idols, this is a very good part-time job.

Because of Chen Xiao's help, Japanese and Korean female idols have a lot of time without the need for hidden rules.

After all, he no longer has to accompany those second-generation rich people, so he has more time. In this case, it is of course a good thing to be able to play in professional leagues and earn another amount of money for himself.

And this is why Chen Xiao's status in the Japanese and Korean female idol circles is getting higher and higher, and her popularity is getting higher and higher.

Because Chen Xiao really changed them.

Of course, for Chen Xiao, they are not tools or weapons. For Chen Xiao, their contribution to world basketball is worthy of everything.

Therefore, Chen Xiao has always said that he does not want them to repay their kindness in that way.

Although it is a bit cold-blooded to say that everyone gets what they want, they did get what they wanted.

In any case, although Chen Xiao didn't see too many posters of himself during this trip to Japan, Chen Xiao was still very happy to see the women's basketball and basketball posters that can be seen everywhere on the streets of Japan, as well as the strong basketball atmosphere. of.

To him, these are all his achievements.

In this World Cup, because A Lian retired, the players leading the team this time became Xiao Chen, Gao Bo and Zhou Qi.

Of course, as the head coach and player, Chen Xiao must be the soul of the team.

Although there is no Arab League, the Chinese men's basketball team with Chen Xiao, Xiao Chen, Gao Bo and Zhou Qi is still the most popular team in this World Cup.

In addition to the Chinese team, the head coach of another popular American team this year has been changed from Jordan to Cole.

Jordan Joe left the position of head coach of the US team after the failure of last year's Olympics.

There is no way. As the president of the NBA and one of the top three head coaches in NBA history, he no longer needs to rely on the performance of the national team to increase his historical status.

Yes, after Boss Qiao became the top three players, coaches, managers, and owners, he completely stopped caring about these things, and completely focused his energy on the position of NBA president.

Even in the position of NBA president, Boss Joe is actually more like a hands-off shopkeeper now.

Because David West, the league's first vice president, is so good.

Let's just say that David West is definitely one of the few black Americans with high IQ and high EQ.

Not to mention black people, even among white people, David West is very good.

Therefore, after becoming the league's first vice president, David West really managed the NBA in an orderly manner.

In this case, Jordan is also happy to delegate power.

After all, Jordan is so rich and now wants money and status. His life has once again reached a stage where he has no pursuits.

Therefore, many people say that Boss Joe may announce his retirement as NBA president at any time.

This is really possible.

As a good friend of Jordan, Chen Xiao even knew that when Jordan was preparing for Chen Xiao's retirement, he announced his retirement as NBA president.

In short, after Jordan's start, David West, as the league's vice president, was under a lot of pressure, and the new US team coach Cole was also under a lot of pressure.

After all, any head coach of the American team has to face a reality.

That is: "The God of iron and the smooth head coach of the US team!"

George Karl, Larry Brown, Coach K, Popovich, Jordan, Kerr...

Yes, Chen Xiao has already resigned as the head coach of N American teams!

The head coach of the US team has become expendable in front of Chen Xiao.

I wonder if Cole is under a lot of pressure.
