God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 395 Visiting Milwaukee
"Coach, I want to ask for leave to go to Milwaukee!" The next morning, Chang Wei came to Brown's office again, and asked the leader for leave before he sat down. same team.

Brown is used to Chang Wei's attitude, he smiled and said: "Have you found a signing target that is suitable for us? Can you tell me? If you can convince me, I will definitely agree to this holiday." .”

Chang Wei nodded and said seriously: "I want to go there to meet Tim Thomas, the guy I started training with. I believe he can be the team's starting No. [-]. The only drawback is that I don't know Tell me what conditions the Bucks will offer."

"Chang, you haven't answered my question yet. Why him?" Brown's expression became serious. He valued Chang Wei and often accepted his advice, but Chang Wei had to come up with substantive reasons to convince him. Own.

"Ben is the backbone of our inside defense, which is no problem at all, but he lacks scoring skills too much. I don't want our inside to become unbalanced offensively and defensively. And Big Ben's height is also a problem. I admit that his strength is great. Good, but if you add a partner who can shoot [-]s and rebound, he probably won't say no,"

"The most important thing is," Chang Wei shrugged helplessly, "The other fourth positions in the league that meet the requirements are either too expensive or not for sale. After thinking about it, Tim is the only one we can hope for and can get. effective."

"Papa papa!" Brown clapped his hands lightly a few times, and said with a smile, "I know you will figure out how to match the lineup, Chang, then you go to Milwaukee, I hope you can bring Tim Come to Detroit." Suddenly he seemed to remember something, and immediately added: "Speaking of which, the Wizards suddenly asked us for a price, hoping to get Stackhouse through a trade, do you think it is necessary for us to discuss this deal with them? ? After all, Jerry was the team's scoring leader last season!"

Jordan moves so fast!Is this already a deal?Chang Wei was shocked inwardly, but his face was as calm as ever, and he smiled and said: "Coach, you already have your own decision in your heart, why are you asking me? But if we really start to have substantive discussions with the other party If so, please tell me, I think I can help the team strive for more benefits."

Brown waved his hand and scolded with a smile: "It's just a preliminary intention now. I'll tell you when we start talking. You'd better think about what price we have to pay to let Tim wear the Pistons jersey!"

After getting Brown's approval, Chang Wei didn't waste any time and directly booked a flight to Milwaukee that afternoon.Of course, he had already greeted Thomas before that, lest this guy hurry up and go on vacation with his girlfriend. Thomas was surprised by Chang Wei's sudden call, but he didn't ask what Chang Wei was doing, just said that he would I have been waiting at home, and the address has been sent to Chang Wei's mobile phone, so I will just take a taxi there.

Many flights from Detroit to Milwaukee need to transit in Chicago. Chang Wei was lucky enough to buy a ticket that did not require a transit, which greatly shortened his journey. After only one and a half hours, the plane landed in Milwaukee. At the Cher International Airport, Chang Wei hails a taxi casually, tells the driver the address, and then begins to close his eyes and rest his mind.

After about half an hour, the car came to a slow stop. Chang Wei opened his eyes and looked around, and a patchwork of villas suddenly appeared in front of him.After paying the fare, he came to the gate of the villa area with his bag on his back, and reported his name and social security number to the security personnel. After a few words in the headset, the strong security guard signaled that Chang Wei could go in by himself. up.

Chang Wei shook his head with a smile. After a while, a Hummer stopped at the door with the harsh sound of brakes. A big black man with a shiny forehead jumped out of the car and gave Chang Wei a big hug.Chang Wei smiled and said: "Okay, Tim, let go, I'm almost out of breath by you, it seems that you guy didn't miss training during the offseason!"

Thomas rubbed his head and said with a silly smile, "You told me that back then. If I seized the time to drink and drink during the offseason, I would probably be forced to lose weight every day after the training camp started."

Looking around, Chang Wei said in a low voice, "I've come to see you this time for something very important..." Thomas immediately understood, and also replied in a low voice: "No problem, get in the car quickly, if there's anything we need, let's go back and wait." Have a good chat!"

The area of ​​the villas is not small, and each household is not close to each other. It can be seen that Thomas has made some money over the years, but compared with the multi-million dollar mansions of other stars, it seems a bit poor up.But Chang Wei thought about it again, the salary cap of the team in this era is not high, it seems that Thomas can afford a villa.

When they came to Thomas’ house, the two sat down separately. Thomas brewed two cups of coffee and put them on the table. Drink this refreshing drink.Chang Wei took a sip of coffee and asked casually, "Tim, how are you doing in the Bucks now?"

There was a bit of bitterness on Thomas's face, but it was quickly covered up by a smile. He said with a smile: "It's not bad, although he still plays as a substitute, but the playing time is much more than in previous seasons... ..."

Before he finished speaking, Chang Wei said sharply: "But you haven't fully demonstrated your value at all!"

Thomas's smile gradually disappeared, his head lowered, and he murmured: "Yes, I really didn't play my value here. Although the team gave me a 6-year contract extension of 4800 million, but ..."

6年4800万？难道不是6年6600万吗？常威猛然醒悟过来，6年6600万是前世雄鹿给托马斯开出的合同，平均1100万美元的年薪在这个时代无疑是一个高薪，但是6年5000万就不同了，这意味着托马斯在雄鹿管理层眼里还没有到千万年薪级别。

It seems that his rebirth has changed some things, but what happened to Thomas made Chang Wei a little bit embarrassed. The second place in 1997 was actually less than 900 million US dollars in annual salary?You know, he was trained by himself!But this is a good thing for the Pistons. The Bucks should not go to war for a mere backup power forward. If the Pistons want to get Thomas, they should pay much less than previously predicted. There is no need to make drastic changes to the team's lineup, which invisibly reduces Chang Wei's workload.
