God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 187 It's time for the test

Chang Wei has already made an agreement with Brown that he will never give Lewis much playing time until he has developed his physical strength.Obviously, his suggestion suits Brown's appetite. The old coach is the kind of person who can't rub the sand in his eyes. Even if Chang Wei didn't say it, he would not give Lewis more than 30 minutes in each game. After all, winning is the first priority. One priority.

Lewis played no more than 20 minutes in two consecutive games, and was unable to play in the crucial second half of the fourth quarter.The local media in Philadelphia were keenly aware of this change, but they gave up after a few days of firing. There is no way, who let the 76ers take Lewis at a low price?If Mutombo was put on the bench, readers might still be interested, let alone Lewis, who was on the bench in the Supersonics before.

It is not impossible to switch to other players, maybe they will lose their temper because of this, or even be passive.However, under Chang Wei's guidance, Lewis took the limitation of playing time as his motivation to continue training hard, and took the initiative to increase his long-distance running to 15 kilometers every morning.If he goes on an away game with the team, he will also choose to go to the gym and use the treadmill to run the same distance. Anyway, with Chang Wei's magical drink as a base, he is not afraid to train himself until he has no physical strength to appear on the stage.

Although Brown did not give Lewis too much playing time, he was also concerned about his training. After all, there are very few power forwards in the team, and double rotation is relatively dangerous. Any injury to anyone is beyond the reach of the team. bearable.Facing Brown's question, Chang Wei's answer was ambiguous every time, which made the old man blow his beard and stare with anger.

Chang Wei didn't mean to hide the situation on purpose, he really didn't know how to say it.Although he himself can see Lewis' progress in physical fitness from the system, he can't describe it to Brown in detail, so he can only say to the old coach helplessly: "When will I think Rashad can withstand more than 30 minutes?" Minutes of playing time, I will report in time."

Fortunately, Hill can fully guarantee his health at present, and there is no problem in playing more than 35 minutes in each game.He knows that after Lewis makes up for his shortcomings, he will return to the bench in all likelihood, so he might as well take this opportunity to play well, maybe he will be looked at by the head coach for a few more minutes The playing time is also good.

After a week of training, Chang Wei found that Lewis' physical strength score in the system had reached 78.This level does seem a bit mediocre, but you must know that Lewis' physical strength score was less than 70 before, which is already a very big improvement. The physical strength score of 78 can already support an average of 25 minutes of playing time per game.

After receiving Chang Wei's feedback, Brown was a little skeptical, and he was going to give Lewis 25 minutes of playing time to try.This time, the opponent of the 76ers was the Bucks. In the opponent team, there was a player Chang Wei was very familiar with, and he was also his first serious training guy-Tim Thomas.Although Thomas was picked away by the 76ers at the beginning, Brown didn't particularly like this kind of muscle stick, so he urged the team to trade him. In the end, Thomas joined the Bucks like his previous life.

Because the 76ers are playing away games, Chang Wei paid a private visit to Thomas in advance.Thomas was very excited about Chang Wei's arrival, so he took out his pocket to treat him to a good meal. Chang Wei said frankly why he came here: "Tim, I hope you can teach me a lesson during the game." guy..."

Thomas laughed, and he said, "Chang, aren't you the physical assistant coach of the 76ers? Is there anyone on the team who dares to offend you? If there is such a person, you just throw him a training plan that is so difficult that it will explode." It's over!"

Chang Wei almost spit out his drink. He coughed for a while, and said angrily, "Where are you going? I have a player with some physical problems under me. I have given him targeted training during this time." , but the opponents are not very strong, even if they are capable, there is no power forward who can defend beyond the three-point line..."

"So you hope that I can put more pressure on him, let him run more, and see if his physical fitness has improved?"

Chang Wei nodded: "This is generally the case. Of course, I will ask the head coach to let him start, so that the two of you can face each other. Tim, I hope you can use all your skills to improve his presence on the court." running distance."

Thomas chuckled and asked narrowly, "Don't I need to release the water? I can guarantee that no one will see it!"

"Forget it, if you dare to release water, I dare not answer it. If there is no problem, I will go back and talk to our head coach."

Thomas also became serious, he thought for a while, and said bluntly: "No problem, isn't it just chasing defense? Even if our head coach doesn't say anything, we still have to do this. Then whoever wins and loses will be determined by himself." Let's do it!"

After finishing Thomas, Chang Wei told Brown about it when he went back.Brown hesitated and asked: "Isn't it good to just remove Hill from the starting line-up? He played really well during this period. If he has emotions, it may have an impact on the locker room."

Chang Wei pouted secretly: "Isn't it enough to let Rashad play a fake starter? If you can stand it, it will be no problem to switch to a real starter. If Hill has any objections, I will talk to him after the game chat."

As Chang Wei expected, Brown readily agreed, obviously he was waiting for Chang Wei to jump into the pit by himself.Chang Wei himself could see that this was a pit, but he still jumped down without hesitation. After all, this would be of great help to Lewis' future. If he could withstand Thomas' defense, he would be able to do so in the next game. Continue to start.

What surprised Chang Wei was that when Brown directly announced that Lewis would start the game against the Bucks, Hill's reaction was not as big as expected, and it could even be said to be calm.This made Chang Wei very satisfied, because to a certain extent he is a person who is afraid of trouble, and it would be great if he could reduce the pressure of work.

Lewis was a little surprised, he didn't expect to return to the starting lineup so soon.Seeing his excitement, Chang Wei couldn't help pouring cold water on him: "Rashad, don't get too excited, I'll tell you a piece of news, you will also encounter a defensive range in this game. It is up to you whether the inside players who have reached beyond the three-point line can guarantee their physical strength under his pressure."
