God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 181 I Believe In You
After Hill came on the court, the inside became more crowded, but the relative team's control of the rebound became stronger, and Mutombo didn't always have to carry several opponents inside alone.But Iverson felt very uncomfortable. There were several breakthroughs and almost hit his own people. The space left for him by the inside line was far less than when Lewis was on the court.

But for him, it doesn't matter who he partners with. This is a question that the coach needs to consider. He only needs to get on the field, and then give full play to his strength, and do his best to help the team win, and that's enough.

In the end, the 76ers easily defeated the Magic 108 to 91 without any suspense. Iverson scored a game-high 27 points, and also sent 8 assists and 2 steals.The most surprising thing is that in this game, he made 6 of 3 shots from beyond the three-point line, showing a long-range shooting ability that he did not have last season, which also made Chang Wei very gratified.

Although Iverson still chooses to pass the ball out in the face of big men blocking inside, but in Chang Wei's view, it is gratifying news that he can practice three-pointers.Iverson's speed and change of direction are enough to ensure his layup success rate. Strength training is just the icing on the cake, but the three-pointer is different. This can be called a timely help.

After the game, the 76ers huddled together on the field, celebrated wantonly and walked to the sidelines to thank the fans for their support.However, Chang Wei saw Lewis walking towards the player tunnel silently, like a little beast that couldn't find its home.Chang Wei shook his head, sighed, and didn't catch up. It's better to let him calm down at this time, and it's not too late to chat with him tomorrow, after all, the next match won't start until the day after tomorrow.

Chang Wei recalled it carefully, it seems that in his previous life, Lewis suddenly awakened this season and then grew further. Of course, he didn't know what happened in the middle.But Chang Wei believes that he can change him in other ways, turning him into a more powerful shooting power forward than in his previous life, and then help the 76ers win more championships.

In order to better "treat" Lewis, Chang Wei checked his information in the system after returning to the apartment that night.Currently, Lewis' mood is a green downward arrow. Obviously, the team got a good start in the preseason and did not make him feel happy. Instead, he was secretly disappointed because he didn't help much.

Speaking of which, Lewis' mentality is also very strange. He is only the 32nd pick in the second round, which also means that it is difficult for the team that selected him to train him as a star.But it may be because the 76ers promised him the starting power forward position, so he is a little worried about the future because of his performance, right?
Other than that, Chang Wei didn't find anything abnormal. Although Lewis' overall rating didn't rise as fast as the others, it was still significantly improved compared to when he first joined the team. Obviously his problem was not his own skills, but in one's own mind.In the history of the NBA, there have been such players who have good skills but are always unable to play. Apart from the factor of insufficient time given by the head coach, most of them are due to their own inability to adjust their mentality, and finally disappear from everyone.

Chang Wei smiled, took out his mobile phone and sent Lewis a text message, asking him to come to his office after training tomorrow morning.At this moment, Lewis was lying on the bed in a daze. After receiving the text message, he was a little surprised. He didn't know what Chang Wei wanted him to do in the office. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of a reason, so he could only reply: "Got it."

At 10:[-] the next morning, the team's routine training session ended, Lewis packed up his things casually, and went to Changwei's office.When he opened the door, Chang Wei was already sitting there waiting for him. Seeing the somewhat reserved Lewis, Chang Wei smiled and motioned him to sit down.As soon as Lewis' butt touched the chair, Chang Wei asked, "Rashad, is there anything you don't adapt to in Philadelphia? Can you tell me about it? I'm a sports psychology student in college."

Lewis didn't expect Chang Wei to go straight to the point, he said hesitantly: "No...no...I think...it's pretty good here, even...even if there are some discomforts, I will try my best to overcome..."

Chang Wei frowned, and interrupted him directly: "I hope we can all be honest, Rashad, now you don't have to treat me as the coach of the team, just treat me as your friend. It's up to you In the performance of the first game, can you still say that you have nothing to adapt to? How about expressing your concerns and let us solve them together?"

After hearing Chang Wei's words, Lewis' expression became very tangled. He was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "I was just a bench player when I was in the Supersonics, but now the coach lets me start. It's really good to reach the sky in one step. But I was afraid that if I didn't play well, it would drag down the team's record, so..."

"So you just hang out on the court, afraid that you'll make a mistake and the team will lose?"

Lewis nodded without speaking.Chang Wei shook his head and said, "I have to tell you one thing. It's not Coach Brown's decision to trade you and let you be the team's starting No. [-], but my suggestion."

Lewis' eyes widened in shock, and he looked at Chang Wei who was resting behind the desk without blinking.

"If you stare again, you will stare your eyes out... I know you will wonder why I would suggest that the team trade you and serve as the team's starting power forward. What I want to tell you is that I have my own reasons, and I think you're the best power forward in the league right now for this team, if not one, you know what I mean?"

Lewis shook his head blankly. Now he found that his brain was not enough.After thinking about it, he didn't have any contact with Chang Wei before, so why did he directly suggest that the team trade him over?

Seeing Lewis' blank eyes, Chang Wei smiled, and he said: "Don't think about it, we have never played face to face before, but I have watched your game, and I know you will be a very good player." Player." Of course, the so-called watching Lewis's game is pure nonsense, but Chang Wei doesn't mind telling some white lies, which can eliminate the gap between the two.

"Many experts and fans say that you are a softie, you can only shoot from the outside, and you dare not rush to the inside to fight your opponent. But I can tell you with certainty that the pace of NBA games will become faster and faster. The inside line will also become a trend, what I value is your ability to open up space, as long as you can do this, you will complete the task."
