God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 400 Doubtful Eyes
The opening of the training camp is getting closer and closer. Although Dumars still said on different occasions that the team will still operate, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the starting lineup of the Pistons for the new season has basically been determined. Because of this, all the experts and fans were shocked. This is clearly a civilian team, without even a star.

Of course, the main lineup of the Pistons is not bad in terms of draft picks alone. Thomas was the No. 1997 pick in 1999, Billups was the No. 7 pick in the same class as him, and Hamilton was the No. 23 pick in 1996. Prince is the No. [-] pick this year.Although Daben is an undrafted player, he has proven his strength and is considered a legacy of the golden generation in [-]. Judging from his current performance, he is at least worthy of a lottery pick that year.

But the key problem is that none of them are already famous superstars!

Needless to say, Thomas and Billups were hard-fought brothers in the 1997 NBA draft. Their experiences are surprisingly similar, with high picks and a relaxed environment, but they have never been able to play at the level they should be. Few experts ridiculed as parallel imports.Prince was the one who was largely ignored before the draft. When the Pistons selected him with the 23rd pick, there was an uproar at the draft conference. This represented the impression of most people about him. He can become a qualified player. Rotating players is the best.

The only one who is fairly well-known is Hamilton. After all, he played next to Jordan, and his growth rate is also very good, worthy of his draft pick.However, Hamilton is still not a first-tier star. Even if he averaged 20 points per game last season, many people think that this guy is not a superstar, and his style of play is not exciting enough.

In their view, this is not Brown's style at all.The old coach has been coaching NBA teams since 1976. Although he briefly returned to the NCAA midway, he has also coached 6 teams.Among the teams he has coached for at least three seasons, the Nuggets have "Skywalker" David Thompson, the Spurs have "Admiral" Robinson, the Pacers have Reggie Miller, and the 76ers have Iverson , These were the all-powerful stars in the NBA at the time, and they also respected Brown very much.

This time Brown and the Pistons signed a three-year contract. With his character, he will not consider leaving until at least three seasons later.So as a team that needs him to make long-term planning, the roster does not have a star who is in his prime. Is Brown self-destructing his reputation and playing casually?Oh, by the way, originally they did have a star player, but it is a pity that Stackhouse was sent to the Wizards in exchange for Hamilton and two extras. More than one expert expressed his doubts.

In their view, this is an act of self-destruction of the Great Wall. No matter how you say it, Stackhouse is also a rising star known as "Jordan's successor", and he is already a player who can average 20+ points per game. How about sending it away casually?Unfortunately, what they don't know is that Stackhouse and Brown hit it off. The former hopes to play next to Jordan, while the latter hopes that his players can strictly implement tactics. Obviously Stackhouse is not like this player of.

So now even though there are a lot of sarcastic remarks from the outside world, Brown doesn't take it seriously. Although the team has not yet started formal joint training, he firmly believes that this is the team he wants to see.Getting along with Iverson before made him a headache. Not having a superstar is a good thing for him, because now he prefers to use those players who are not well-known but have good strength. Let Chang Wei go to train, and ordinary players can also display the strength of stars.

In fact, Brown has a high opinion of Chang Wei. Just like the potential score in the 2K game, the system in Chang Wei's consciousness will also test the players. Unless there are other opportunities, then a player with only 79 potential will be no matter how much he trains. Can't exceed 80, this is the limitation brought by personal talent.So to some extent, competitive sports are very cruel and realistic. Only a few people can make up for their weaknesses with hard work. Other successful players have talents beyond ordinary people. The only thing they have to do is to pass training and competition. Turn your talents into personal strengths.

Fortunately, the formation of the Pistons itself is based on Chang Wei's suggestion. Whether it is Billups, Hamilton, Prince, or Thomas, Chang Wei is confident that they can take their strength to a higher level.Chang Wei also laughed off the doubts from the outside world. They would not understand how terrifying the Pistons are after they are formed.Naturally, there is no clue now, but when the team successfully wins the championship, those guys who speak nonsense with colored glasses will obediently shut their mouths.

In order to make this Pistons team stronger quickly, Chang Wei worked almost non-stop on the system to formulate training plans for the players, and also bought a lot of props in the Miracle Mall with great fanfare that could quickly increase the tacit understanding of the lineup.He is very clear that iron-like discipline and tactical execution ability are the magic weapon for the survival of this grassroots team. Relatively speaking, the personal strength of the players is not so important.Of course, even if it is relatively unimportant, Chang Wei will spend a lot of effort on it. After all, he has promised to have two guns in the backcourt to make them stronger here than before.

At the same time, Brown is not idle, he must build a comprehensive offensive and defensive system for his new Pistons.But relatively speaking, he spends more time on defense. In Brown's view, this team has a good defensive foundation and can definitely become the league's top defensive team. The so-called offense wins the box office and defense wins. Champion, even though the old coach didn't say anything, he still hopes that he can wear the championship ring again, which is a recognition of his ability.

To his relief, the Pistons players are also full of confidence in their future and have not been disturbed by the external environment at all. Of course, this is also out of trust in Brown.After all, he just led the 76ers to two championships, so he must have two brushes. It seems that it is not incomprehensible to lead the team to the highest podium again.

After the preparations are ready, everyone is looking forward to the start of the training camp. The Pistons, which have introduced a lot of fresh blood, will use this time to get in touch. All doubters slapped hard, telling them that the grassroots army also has the value of existence.
