God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 325

The team has been advancing all the way, and the rookies have been trained enough. The 76ers look peaceful.However, there were also some discordant voices in such an atmosphere, undoubtedly coming from our No. [-] agent Arenas.

Like the previous life, Arenas still chose No. 0, which may be because Chang Wei told him to start from the bench.But seeing that the friends who were selected together have more playing time, but I have to play very hard for about 3 or [-] minutes in each game. It is understandable that I am unbalanced, but it is the ball The team absolutely does not allow it.

Although Arenas' complaints will not turn into team infighting, his own training and game status have been greatly affected.Not to mention frequent mistakes during training, and even occasional distractions during games, which caused him to average as high as 4.7 turnovers per game in recent games, making him the player with the most turnovers in the team.The most outrageous time was when he threw the ball directly to the bench when passing the ball, almost hitting Brown, which made the demanding old coach look livid.

Of course, Brown was not angry because the basketball almost hit him. After all, every photojournalist near the baseline has enjoyed such treatment more or less.What makes him feel uncomfortable is Arenas' attitude in the game. In fact, Brown admires players with a correct attitude in the game. Even if your skills are slightly inferior, it is not unacceptable, but Arenas' skills are passable The players with average game attitude made the coach most angry. He wished he could just trade Arenas out.It's a pity that this guy hasn't played his worth yet, and if he uses it as a bargaining chip, he can only get a second-round pick at most.

Chang Wei also felt helpless. After all, he was the one who advocated choosing Arenas at the beginning, and even traded Mason for a first-round pick to choose Dalembert, just to select Arenas at the 30th pick. .To some extent, Chang Wei must be responsible for the performance of Arenas in his rookie season. It seems that now is the time for him to play a cameo role as a psychologist.

Perhaps it was because Chang Wei impressed Arenas with his sincerity when they met for the first time. This time, facing Chang Wei's inquiry, he expressed his thoughts without hesitation: "Chang, I am very unconvinced. I think Samuel and Mehmet are not as good as me, but why do they get more playing time and I have to work hard for it?"

Seeing Arenas' indignant look, Chang Wei smiled. In his opinion, Arenas' attitude is very naive. Do you have to be treated like teammates?Competitive sports are the fairest, but also the most unfair. As long as you are strong enough, any resources can be tilted towards you, and more teams will offer olive branches. However, if you are too weak, then sorry, You have to fight for playing time, and maybe even go to the development league to fight for a formal contract.

Relatively speaking, what happened to Arenas was pretty good. Brown replaced Snow, who had always been the team's starting shooting guard, with Reid, but Snow played more of the No. [-] position in the rotation. It's also what he is good at, which frees up Arenas' position as a backup shooting guard.Coupled with the lack of firepower in the original bench lineup, the team selected him in the hope that he could score points desperately. For this reason, Brown even gave him unlimited firepower. Although the time is not long, it is definitely first-class treatment.

Unexpectedly, this guy is still complaining here that the team didn't give him more opportunities, which is ridiculous enough!
Chang Wei did not directly preach to Arenas, but changed the subject: "Gilbert, do you believe in luck?"

Arenas shook his head disdainfully and said, "I only believe in my own strength, and luck doesn't matter."

Chang Wei smiled and said: "But you must admit that the influence of luck is everywhere in the league. For the same fall, others may not even have a sprain, but you will suffer a serious injury that will be reimbursed for the season; For a decent shot, someone else's ball may fall into the basket after a few laps, but your ball will fall out after a few laps; the same is going to a nightclub, maybe others have nothing to do, but you When I hugged a girl, I was directly photographed by the paparazzi..."

Arenas frowned and asked, "Chang, you've said so much, what exactly are you going to tell me?"

Chang Wei shrugged: "What I want to tell you is that what happened to you is only because of your bad luck." Of course, Chang Wei can only use luck as an explanation, because it caused Mutombo's decline, Dale Mpo The "behind the scenes" of Te and Okur's increased playing time is himself, so he can only attribute all this to luck, so as to avoid trouble.

Arenas' eyes were a little dazed, he didn't know what this had to do with his luck.Seeing that he still looked confused, Chang Wei couldn't help pressing his temple, and said speechlessly: "Do you think Michael's condition may have declined so obviously like Dikembe? If you think it's impossible, then Don't envy Samuel and the others!"

Arenas suddenly realized, and then felt a little disappointed. As a player who only entered the league last year, Reed's physical condition is not at the same level as Mutombo's. It is obviously unrealistic to expect his condition to suddenly decline.If Reid is seriously injured, there is a chance, but Arenas is arrogant, but he is not the kind of bastard who curses his teammates for injuries because he has no chance, so he feels disappointed. There is a long way to go.

Chang Wei patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Gilbert, you and Michael are completely different types of players. In some games, sending you on the field is more effective than sending Michael. But first, you must ensure that you are in training. Otherwise, coach Brown will not give you too much playing time even if you have the opportunity. Your training attitude determines your playing time to a large extent. In addition, you must play more in your limited playing time An impressive performance can also win the favor of the coach. You can’t even play the limited playing time well, who can believe that you can take on heavier responsibilities?”

In the end, Chang Wei concluded: "Everyone's experience is unpredictable. Dikembe's decline is not what we expected. The reason why we chose Samuel and Mehmet at the beginning was because we wanted to improve the depth of the inside. You obviously won't get such an opportunity, so work hard, as long as it is your opportunity, no one can take it away!"
