Chapter 326 Starting Center
Although Arenas' emotions were calmed down by Chang Wei, some of his previous complaints and strange words still had a considerable impact in the locker room, and the first to bear the brunt was Dalembert, who had greatly increased his playing time.It is also fortunate that the Haitian center has a simple and honest personality, otherwise he could really go up and fight Arenas. After all, no one wants to be the protagonist of complaints.

However, the increase in playing time is not up to Dalembert himself. It is only about Brown's thoughts. Now that the head coach has spoken, other people can only follow the arrangement even if they are not satisfied.But this also makes Dalembert feel like he has been pumped every time he trains. He wants to prove that he is absolutely capable of taking more responsibilities.

In addition, captain Snow also instructed him in private, asking him to find Chang Wei for special training.Dalembert was not interested in media reports, so he naturally didn't know that Chang Wei was the person to whom even new stars like Tracy McGrady and Brand should sincerely thank.But he knew that Snow would not lie to himself, since he said that Chang Wei could greatly improve his strength, it would not be too far off.

Chang Wei was not surprised when Dalembert came to him after training.In his previous life, Dalembert was a hard-working player, but this does not mean that he is not motivated. In fact, he is still a very hard-working player. An annual salary of tens of millions.

Looking at Dalembert who was still a bit reserved, Chang Wei smiled and asked: "Samuel, what kind of training do you want to do? If you have your own ideas, you can tell me directly, and I will Create the right training program for you."

Dalembert scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I don't know, Chang, what ability do you think I need to improve? I really want to be the team's starting center and help the team win the championship." , but I don't know what to do."

Chang Wei pondered: "As you can see, our team does not lack scorers, but this does not mean that you do not need to improve your scoring ability. In addition, we also need strong rebounders and inside barriers. These are the things you need to improve on in my opinion. You have talent, Samuel, but it takes more than talent to be a good center forward."

Dalembert nodded and said: "I understand, so please help me make a plan, I will try my best to complete it!"

Chang Wei said with a smile: "I am very optimistic about you. Dikembe is not young anymore, and now it is difficult for him to withstand the impact of opponents inside, so I hope you can grow up as soon as possible and take over the team's starting center position. "

Then Chang Wei made an appointment with Dalembert for additional training time, and began to formulate a special training plan for him.According to Chang Wei's thinking, Dalembert doesn't need to practice three-pointers. The team has an anti-aircraft gun like Okur is enough. What he needs to strengthen is what Chang Wei mentioned when the two were chatting: mid-range Shooting, rebounding and defense.

Among them, the content of defense is relatively more. In Chang Wei's view, in addition to improving his blocking ability, Dalembert's movement speed with defending small players is also very important.If the opponent uses pick-and-roll tactics, then Dalembert must face the opponent's assaulter. Once the movement speed cannot keep up, the basket will be wide open, and he can only watch the opponent score a layup.

For the starting center of the 76ers, it is enough to be able to achieve these points. There are many attackers in the team, and there are also many outside gates. To intervene more in other matters, those will naturally be done by professionals. He only needs to guard the one-acre three-point area under the basket.

When Chang Wei handed over the training plan to Dalembert, his eyes widened in horror.Yes, only panic can express Dalembert's mood at this moment. He is holding this dozens of pages of training plan with a dazed face. Is this really just a training plan?You didn't bring the tactical manual from your office, did you?
Looking at Dalembert's expression, Chang Wei said with a smile: "I think this training plan is the most suitable for you. If you can stick to it, I believe your strength will improve significantly." Chang Wei shot Patting him on the shoulder, he encouraged: "Samuel, you will take over Dikembe's position. Our entire team needs your contribution."

After getting the training plan, Dalembert hardly hesitated, and began to practice additionally according to the items listed in the plan after each training session.Of course, Chang Wei would not let him train foolishly by himself, but gave him some help within his ability, such as giving him a bottle of magic drink every day.Now Chang Wei doesn't need to use magic drinks very much. The physical fitness of the 76ers players is very good, and most players can train step by step, but Dalembert is an exception.To some extent, Chang Wei was trying to encourage growth, so he took out the magic drink that he hadn't used for a long time and gave it to Dalembert to prevent him from affecting his game state due to over-training.

Brown also knew that Dalembert went to Chang Wei for additional training, and he approved of such behavior.Maybe other coaches will worry that the players will practice too much and affect their own state, but Brown has never had such worries, because he knows that Chang Wei will balance the relationship between the two well and will not affect the players.

Thanks to Chang Wei's extra training, Dalembert's performance in the team's training sessions is getting better and better, and it is difficult for Mutombo to limit his performance in the interior.And Iverson's feelings are even more profound. Whenever he breaks through to the basket and prepares to shoot, Dalembert always makes him feel very awkward, not as smooth and sharp as before.Although Dalembert can't fan his layup out of the bottom line every time, it's completely fine to interfere with the shot and make the shot hit the iron.

Brown didn't say anything, but he was more and more satisfied with Dalembert, and his playing time was slowly but steadily increasing.Indeed, Brown is not a player who likes to use rookies, but on the one hand, Mutombo is in poor condition and cannot take on more responsibilities; on the other hand, Dalembert has indeed played an outstanding performance in limited playing time.Soon Dalembert's playing time has increased to more than 20 minutes, and his personal data has also stabilized at around 13+8.

This performance has conquered Brown, and the old coach has decided to make Dalembert the team's starting center as soon as possible.
