God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 409 Gram Six
When Chang Wei received a call from Dumas, he was in a daze. Could this be asking him to take another job?After Dumas finished speaking, he smiled and said: "General manager, it's not that I don't want to help, but I want to focus on the training of the players. Besides, I'm lazy, so it's okay to give suggestions. I really want to participate in this project." That’s not what you want in a trade.”

Dumas was a little helpless. He had never seen such a guy who dumped the blame, but he was unwilling to force Chang Wei to participate in this work. After all, what Chang Wei said was also reasonable. He is now Brown's chief assistant. There is an irrefutable authority in player training, and his training effect is also very good, it seems that it is not good to directly second him.

In the end, the two sides discussed it, and Chang Wei would give suggestions to the team, while Dumars considered whether his suggestions were feasible, and if feasible, it was not impossible to implement them directly.And Chang Wei's suggestion to Dumars is to use Moore as the main trading chip, at most he can only get a future second-round pick, otherwise he would rather change a trading partner.

After a tug-of-war with the Bulls, Dumars finally reached an agreement with the Bulls. The Pistons sent Moore and a 2004 second-round pick to get third-year guard Jamal Crawford from the Bulls.There is nothing dissatisfied with being traded to the Pistons Crawford. The Bulls have faded the aura of the dynasty, and it is not a bad idea to change the environment.

After learning that the team acquired Crawford through a trade, Chang Wei was very excited. Although Crawford could not be compared with Arenas in terms of talent and ability, he was definitely able to be called "Ke Liu" in his previous life. Because of this reason, this arguably the greatest sixth man in the history of the league is undoubtedly very suitable for the Pistons who are currently short of major generals.

In Chang Wei's view, it's okay for Crawford to continue to evolve in accordance with the development direction of his previous life. Such a chaotic master has value in any team.But Chang Wei hopes that Crawford can develop the skills to organize offenses. After all, the backcourt of the Pistons' bench is still relatively weak. Crawford's ability to sort out the offense can bring great help to the team.

So when Crawford came to report to Detroit, Chang Wei bluntly expressed the hope that he could change his style of play.Crawford, who had just arrived, was stunned. He had never seen such an upright assistant coach, and he asked himself to change his style of play as soon as he arrived.Although Crawford has a good personality, he can't accept other people's opinions casually. However, he was not angry, but asked curiously: "Why do I have to change my style of play when I come here? Did you trade me to see me?" Isn't that my style of play?"

Chang Wei smiled awkwardly, Crawford's words were still too direct... He thought for a while, and said sincerely: "Jamal, we are not asking you to change your style of play, but we want you to Adding a thing or two to our arsenal, like passing, makes it a little easier for us when we come into the rotation."

Crawford touched his head and said with a silly smile: "I have never tried to be a playmaker before. I have been a pure scorer since I was a child, but since the team needs me to pass the ball, then I will try." Try it!"

In his previous life, Chang Wei didn't know much about Crawford. He always thought that the representative of the Sixth Man was a difficult guy to talk to, but now he found that Crawford's character is still very good. Few players When he heard that he needed to change his style of play, he could respond so readily. It seems that Crawford is still very motivated!
After adding Crawford, Chang Wei breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. In fact, it was a helpless move. The Pistons can't come up with any particularly good bargaining chips to trade now, and they can supplement Crawford, the future super No. 9.5 player. The Sixers have already made a profit, which can at least make up for their lack of offensive firepower when they came off the bench.Although Crawford averaged only [-] points per game last season, Chang Wei knows what level this guy is, and it is easy for him to be the scoring champion off the bench.

I have to say that the Pistons' schedule is of great benefit to their training. Although they lost to the Lakers in the opening game, they will have consecutive games against the Clippers, Cavaliers, Eagles and Bulls in the next four games. The team is either training rookies, or has already aimed at the 2003 draft, which can just be used by the Pistons for training.

In the first game against the Clippers, the Pistons only scored 91 points. Yes, this can only be described as "only got". After all, the Clippers are not a strong defensive team.However, the Pistons limited the opponent's scoring to 75 points in this game, and only two players from the team scored in double figures, which also showed the Pistons' strong defensive ability to a certain extent.In fact, Brown doesn't need to worry too much about their defensive performance now. He cares more about how the team can play a better offense.

However, in the next three games, they exceeded 100 points in each game. Although they did not reach the level of 110 points, they were considered extraordinary performances for the Pistons.The newcomer Crawford is well integrated into the team. He likes Brown's positioning + the chief scorer on the bench. There is also unlimited firepower, which makes him not even think about entering the main lineup, but just want to play well as a substitute.

In fact, Crawford's style is not suitable for starting. Maybe his scoring ability is good, and he has also begun to improve his organizational ability under Chang Wei's targeted training, but in the final analysis he is a master of chaos and will always be free. Outside the system, his most suitable position is indeed the sixth man, because at that time he has the space to play freely.

Now he basically scores 12 to 15 points per game, and is the number one scorer on the Pistons' bench. When Brown is on the bench, he is no longer afraid that no one can score.However, in his opinion, Crawford's organizational skills still need to be strengthened. He is still used to being a pure scorer on the court, but it is much better than before.

After a wave of four consecutive victories, the Pistons temporarily secured the second position in the East, but in most people's eyes, this is only temporary. The current top spot in the East is the 76ers who have won all six games. As the defending champions, their The overall strength is still far superior to other teams. It is not difficult for them to start with a wave of victories. Just like in the previous life, Randy Els replaced Brown, but the time was advanced by one season. Although Chang Wei has never heard of this name, the 76ers have a very good foundation, so the number one in the Eastern Conference is well deserved.However, he still has confidence in the Pistons. After all, Brown cannot be replaced by any head coach. The 76ers will definitely pay the price for their short-sightedness.
