God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 170 Goal Achievement
The Supersonics are still very ambitious, but Lewis has not entered the management's field of vision. The current star of the team is "The Glove" Payton, and the second leader is Vin Baker, who is not very good but still maintains a considerable level , Even guard Brent Barry, the 1995th pick in the first round in 15, has a higher status in the team than Lewis.

Faced with the 76ers' purchase, the Sonics naturally have nothing to do, but they still subconsciously want a little more in return.After a lot of wrangling, the two sides finally reached an agreement. The 76ers sent forward swingman Billy Owens and second backup center Stanley Roberts to get their backup power forward Rashard Lewis from the Supersonics.

After this deal was exposed by the pervasive media, many people thought that the 76ers had lost a lot. Although Lewis's data was better, Owens and Roberts were both first-round picks in 1991. Among them, Owens was still a third pick. His experience is relatively richer, and naturally he can bring more help to the Supersonic.

Only Chang Wei was ecstatic in his office, and no one should be able to see Lewis' future achievements.Although this guy is not good at physical confrontation and rebounding as an insider, but now the 76ers already have Mutombo as an inside barrier, so it doesn't matter whether Lewis can hold the scene inside.

More importantly, as Chang Wei said before, the presence of Lewis can help his teammates open up the inside line. The opponent's power forward will either hide inside and let him shoot unscrupulously from the outside, or mention the high position to defend and be forced to give The 76ers' small players opened up the space for breakthroughs.This looks very similar to Colorado State University's tactics, but Lewis is a more professional shooting power forward than West, and directly applying the tactics will definitely produce more powerful power.

After the transfer market opened, the 76ers immediately submitted the transaction application to the league.Looking at the 76ers' trade application, the white-haired Stern frowned slightly. He thought carefully for a while, and signed his name carefully.In his opinion, Mutombo's deal has not reached the level of breaking the balance of the league, let alone Lewis' deal, and now that the Lakers are the only one, supporting a team that can compete with them in the East is not enough. good.

When the league officially announced these two transactions, 76ers fans were telling everyone that they finally hoped for a star who could bring more help to Iverson, the son of Philadelphia. The most important thing is that this guy does not occupy the ball. It is really a perfect match between the 76ers and Iverson.Although players such as Kukoc and Ratliff were sent to get Mutombo, everyone thinks it is worth it. Anyway, the team's inside height has also completed a leap.

As for the Lewis trade, the fans were quickly divided into two factions. Some believed that Lewis’ shooting could bring the team stronger offensive firepower, while others insisted that Lewis was a soft guy who always liked to float on the outside. Existence will make the team's inside line full of holes.But everyone thinks that Lewis will definitely sit on the bench and wait for an opportunity in the new season. They don't believe that this young high school player can replace Tyron Hill.

Lewis, who came to Philadelphia to report in advance, naturally heard these rumors, which made him a little depressed.Although he is only a second-round pick, he also has a heart that wants to be the main force, but now even the fans don't recognize him, so what's the point?Lewis felt very confused. Everything here was new to him, so let’s take it one step at a time!

Chang Wei hadn't had time to meet Lewis, but he knew that Lewis was in a bad mood.Although the system has not been upgraded to level five, some interesting small functions have been unlocked, one of which is the ability to use arrows of different colors to reflect the mood of the players.The red rising arrow is happy, the green downward arrow is low, and the yellow horizontal arrow is not in a bad mood. Now that Lewis has become a member of the 76ers, Chang Wei can naturally see his mood.

However, Chang Wei didn't plan to chat with Lewis, because he already knew that Lewis had a psychological weakness, that is, lack of self-confidence.Of course, lack of self-confidence does not mean low self-esteem. Lewis just doesn't believe in his own ability and dare not go head-to-head with his opponent. This is one of the reasons why he almost sat on the bench in the Supersonics in the first two seasons of his career.

As long as he can see his progress and defeat the opponent in the game, the knot will naturally be solved, so there is no need to solve it in advance.In fact, this is also one of the manifestations of Chang Wei's fear of trouble. He is never willing to spend more energy on things that can be easily solved, so he is not willing to be a head coach. An assistant coach is already the ultimate he can bear.

And Chang Wei also believes that Brown will make proper arrangements.Although Brown built the Jagged Pistons in his previous life and labeled himself a defensive master, that doesn't mean he won't use offensive players.Of course, Lewis must show enough strength, otherwise Brown will definitely put him on the bench directly.

So for Chang Wei, instead of dealing with Lewis in advance now, it is better to let the system formulate a targeted training plan, so that Lewis can grow to the peak level of his previous life as soon as possible, perhaps much stronger than his previous life.Besides, the team has begun to invite promising rookies to try out, and it is more interesting to go to the arena to wander around.

There is no limit to the number of rookies the team invites, but everyone will send out invitations based on the rookie market and the draft picks in their hands.If you only have one second-round pick, but you want to invite the No. [-] pick to try out, then others will definitely show you what it means to have a hot face and a cold butt, and the media will laugh at you for being overwhelmed.

Now the 76ers have two draft picks, one is their No. 20 pick in the first round, and the other is the No. 40 pick in the second round from the Eagles.Chang Wei has already planned to suggest to Brown that Reid should be selected with the 40th pick, but before that, he still needs to be invited to try out, in case Reed becomes a parallel importer due to his own rebirth, he can prepare in advance.

As for the No. 20 pick in the first round, Chang Wei is not yet ready to recommend which player Brown chooses. In the 2000 draft, there were only a few outstanding players, and all of them were high picks except Reed. Although the 76ers now have Without Iverson and Mutombo, there is not much need for a third star, but it is not bad to be able to choose a good role player.
