God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 165 Welcome to Philadelphia

这个赛季的总冠军还是没能摆脱历史的惯性，湖人在“OK组合”，准确来说是奥尼尔的带领下以4比2击败步行者夺冠。毕竟总决赛期间科比的数据是15.6分、4.6个篮板和4.2次助攻，而奥尼尔却可以场均狂砍38分、16.7个篮板和2.7次盖帽。

Seeing the Lakers win the championship as smoothly as in memory, Chang Wei sighed and turned off the TV.He doesn't know if Brown is willing to let him join the 76ers' coaching staff, but once he joins, he will have to face the most terrifying team and the most dominant inside monster in the NBA in the next few seasons. The ever-growing Kobe.

Harmon hadn't come back from the gym yet, so Chang Wei planned to go to the supermarket to buy some food and make a nutritious meal for his girlfriend.But just as he opened the door to change his shoes, the phone in the living room rang suddenly. He habitually raised his head to look at the clock. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Who would call at this time?
But Chang Wei had no choice but to answer the phone, what if it was Harmon?He shrugged helplessly, put his wallet and keys on the cabinet, and walked over to answer the phone: "Hello, who can I find?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was a bit old, but Chang Wei immediately recognized the identity of the other party, it was Larry Brown!Before Chang Wei could speak, Brown asked, "Chang, if possible, can you book a ticket to Philadelphia tomorrow morning?"

Chang Wei couldn't believe his ears, he said eagerly, "Coach Brown, could it be that..."

"Yes, child, you are welcome to join the 76ers. Although I know that the team's staff can inform you of this news, I think it's better for me to chat with you in person. By the way, this year's postseason Did you watch Sai?"

"Uh, to tell you the truth, I just turned off the TV... I have been watching the 76ers game before, your team has played very well, the loss to the Pacers is just because of bad luck, after all The opponent is a team that can reach the finals, and if it is replaced by another team, it may not be able to stop AI's breakthrough. I believe that the 76ers will be able to make a comeback next season."

Brown smiled bitterly: "Chang, don't comfort me. I know that what you said before is true. I really rely too much on AI. What's worse is that I have no one else to rely on except him. So I I hope to make a difference, and your joining is a very good opportunity, and I can't wait to see your ability."

"Do you trust me that much? Aren't you afraid that I'm just talking about it without the real facts?" Chang Wei was a little curious.

"First, I believe in Popo's vision. I am very relieved of the candidate he recommends. Although I don't know how he learned about your ability, I still choose to believe him; second, our team in this year's playoffs Your performance proves that what you said before is correct. People with such a sharp vision are definitely not just talking on paper. So I solemnly invite you to join my coaching team and let us bring the ancient team of the 76ers to a new level. New heights!"

Hearing Brown's impassioned voice, Chang Wei couldn't help laughing. Unexpectedly, the old coach still retained his ambition. Even though everyone had seen how powerful the Purple and Gold Army in Los Angeles was, he still believed in the 76ers. has a bright future.Chang Wei was also infected by him, and laughed and said: "Coach, thank you for your attention, I will report to Philadelphia tomorrow, and I also hope to help this team, and my goal is only the O'Brien Cup! "

After putting down the phone, Chang Wei still felt his blood boil. He knew that if he didn't intervene, the 76ers would fall into the abyss after a short peak and become a fish belly in the East.But now that they have a good knowledge of history, coupled with the ability of the system, it is not easy for the 76ers to become a belly. After all, there will be many rookies who can be the cornerstone of the team in the 2003 draft. In case the talent of the 76ers hits the ceiling, then change to a high draft pick.

After Harmon came back, Chang Wei told her the good news. Harmon was also happy for his boyfriend. After all, being able to serve on Larry Brown's coaching staff is a very promising thing for any coach. .Although Harmon was a bit reluctant, he also knew that this was an important opportunity for Chang Wei's career, so he began to pack Chang Wei's luggage very virtuously. You can never go wrong with something.

Early the next morning, Chang Wei boarded a flight to Philadelphia. Fortunately, the two cities are relatively close to each other, and it took only an hour and a half from takeoff to landing.Although it was still a familiar scene, Chang Wei's mentality was completely different. This time he felt that he had become a part of the city, and it was a feeling of returning home.

Taking a taxi to the First League Center Arena, Brown has been waiting at the door for a long time.Seeing the old man's meticulous look, Chang Wei was a little flattered. He ran forward in three steps at a time, held the old man's hand tightly, and said emotionally: "I'm just a small person behind the scenes, how dare I bother you?" Are you waiting at the gate of the arena?"

Brown laughed: "The previous physical coach has already resigned and left, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to report quickly. Since I have something to ask from you now, there is no need to talk about superiority and inferiority. Waiting at the door is fine." It should."

Such words caught Chang Wei a little off guard, and for a moment he didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.But Chang Wei quickly thought of another question. He didn't bother to be polite, and asked in a low voice: "Coach, when are the players coming to the team to gather? I want to get to know them first, so that we can formulate targeted training." plan."

Brown patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there will always be opportunities. But now it's the offseason, everyone is on vacation, and it will take a while to meet the players. Before that, you have Other tasks need to be completed, that is, to help me refer to the list of signings during the offseason, the thickness of the team is indeed still not enough."

"Besides, the draft is also the focus of your attention. Although we only have the 20th pick in the first round this year, I think we can also pick good role players in this position. I know you are selecting young players. You have your own unique insights, so this time I want to listen to your opinions and see if you can bring a potential newcomer to the team."
