God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 213 Famous

As the MVP of the new All-Star Game, McGrady is inevitably favored by the host and major media.No way, he has a gorgeous style of play, and he has the first-class level in the league on both offensive and defensive ends. Moreover, out of nostalgia, Chang Wei did not let McGrady give up the pull-up jumper he is good at. Instead, he intentionally or unintentionally helped him polish this skill .With a slender body, beautiful hands, and versatile skills, McGrady can be said to be a rising star in the league, and his popularity is even higher than that of his cousin Carter. This time he won his career. It is reasonable for the media to flock to this first personal award that is more important.

The one who took the lead was naturally the reporter from the official mouthpiece of NBA TV. ESPN and CBS had to step aside first. The beautiful reporter excitedly asked a question that was so common that people didn't even want to answer it: "Won the MVP of the All-Star Game this time, how do you feel in your heart?"

Although the question was stupid, McGrady wasn't impatient at all. Originally, it wasn't an honor to shake a rookie's face.He took another microphone and said with a smile: "To be honest, I was also surprised because there are many people on our team who played better than me, even if I contributed to the team's victory in the fourth quarter. , That’s also because of the help of teammates. For example, Mutombo, he is more important than me on the defensive end. Without him as the last barrier of the team at the basket, we should not be so easy to win the game. MVP maybe because I'm an offensive player?"

McGrady's humility naturally made many people feel good about it, including the beautiful reporter in front of her who was already looking cautious. She smiled and asked: "Coach Brown played a high-intensity defense in the fourth quarter. Many of us don't think about it, but it seems that you and Mutombo are the fastest players to enter the state, even surpassing the AI ​​who is already playing for the 76ers. Is there any secret in it? If it is convenient, can you Tell everyone about it?"

"Although I can attribute this to my strong adjustment ability, I have to say that I knew before the game that Coach Brown would ask us to increase our defensive strength at a certain point in the game." McGrady's first sentence It surprised the vast majority of fans in the audience, "That's why I was able to react immediately when Coach Brown gave instructions, and use my personal strength to help the team. This MVP is not just me. thanks to

"If you have read the 1999 draft, you will know that I thanked a person after being selected. Yes, I still want to thank him today, not only because he revealed some news to me before the game, but also Because I got a lot of help from him throughout the whole process of growing up. If he hadn't urged me to improve my offensive firepower and temper my defense at the same time, I should only be a pure end point, not as versatile as I am now. "

"To put it bluntly, even if I am just an offensive player, everyone should select me as an All-Star, but I will definitely not play such an important role in this game, and of course I have no chance to win the All-Star Game MVP. I know that Lewis of the 76ers also thanked him in the three-point contest yesterday, but I still want to say: Thank you, Chang, without you, I would not be where I am today. You have a share of this All-Star Game MVP trophy! "

The content of McGrady's interview was not disclosed to anyone, so even Brown didn't know that he would say such a thing in front of the NBA TV camera. It was a naked advertisement for Chang Wei!In fact, since the draft in 1999, Chang Wei's name has quickly disappeared from people's field of vision, largely because of his profession. After all, it is difficult for a physical assistant coach to stay in the mainstream media's sight for a long time. .Coupled with the fact that Chang Wei chose such an obscure school as Colorado State University, few reporters were willing to interview him.

Although Colorado State University unexpectedly won the NCAA championship last year, the mainstream view still believes that they were lucky and did not encounter a particularly strong opponent. Some people think that the school has a unique vision in selecting players. David · West and Kyle Korver are the two treasures they dug out, and they all have lottery strength in the draft.But basically no one knows that this is almost all Chang Wei's credit. He advocated that the team win West and Korver and train them into top players in the NCAA. A champion, but their performance is guaranteed.

In addition, Chang Wei's contribution to the 76ers was also ignored by the media, or they didn't dig that deep at all.In fact, the 76ers have been able to dominate the East this season. In addition to the players who have used their lives and Brown's use of troops like a god, Chang Wei has also made great contributions. Further improvement, let alone Lewis, no one thought that such a non-mainstream power forward could become a starter and play very well.

This time McGrady's speech once again pushed Chang Wei out, making the latter who was watching from the sidelines shake his head and smile wryly.Seeing his boyfriend's troubled expression, Harmon asked strangely: "Chang, isn't this a good thing? T-MAC doesn't just advertise to others in public."

Chang Wei shrugged: "You know I'm a person who is afraid of trouble. Tracy said so, it's no wonder other teams don't come to me! But now I just want to do my job well in Philadelphia and help The 76ers got a championship trophy, other things I don't want to think about in advance now."

Harmon smiled and said: "That's it, you can't stay with the 76ers all your life, can you? Any team has its own peaks and troughs! Could it be that if the 76ers start to play badly one day in the future? Now, you still stay in Philadelphia to train those rookies with one-year contracts?"

Chang Wei thought to himself: If it was the previous life, not only would they start to show bad things, but they would also keep putting them on for many years in one breath!But he still said: "I know what you mean, don't you just let me take advantage of the fact that I have more face now, can I have the opportunity to work in other teams in the future? But if I can help a team start rebuilding It's still fun..." Seeing that his girlfriend was about to lose his temper, Chang Wei quickly raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, I'm joking, at least it's not a bad thing for others to help me make a name for myself. I did an ad, and Ray Allen is going to ask me to guide him in training this summer..."
