God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 410 The Moment of Vengeance
With the gradual deepening of the season, the rankings of the East and West are constantly changing every day.I have to say that Brown is indeed a head coach with outstanding ability. This little-known Pistons was abruptly twisted into a rope by him. After 25 games, he achieved a record of 18 wins and 7 losses. In the top four positions in the Eastern Conference, it is second only to the 76ers and the Raptors.

Of course, Chang Wei's contribution is also indispensable. The Pistons players have fully adapted to his training plan, and judging from the system scores, everyone has improved to varying degrees.Naturally, Billups and Hamilton have the biggest impact in the backcourt. They have a good foundation, but they have not been trained in the correct training method.In addition, there is Prince, the future defensive champion who looks almost every day, and has firmly occupied the starting small forward position.

Chang Wei was very satisfied with their performance, only Thomas gave him some headaches.It may be because he has always been an inside scorer when he was in the Bucks. His defensive ability is not strong. Even if he comes to a defensive team like the Pistons, he can only guarantee that he will not be used by opponents. Loopholes, but in Chang Wei's view, this is not enough.

Although the two have known each other for a long time, Chang Wei gave Thomas a high-intensity defensive training unceremoniously. You must know that Rashid in his previous life was able to complete one-on-one defense in the interior, and Daben only needed protection. It's good to be at the rim and ready to help, but now he has to do more work, and the reason is Thomas.

Thomas has no complaints about Chang Wei's decision, even though it conflicts with his previous style of play.Thomas knew that Chang Wei was doing it for his own good, and in the Pistons team, without strong defensive skills, there was no place at all. The substitute might not care about this, but he was a starter, and defense was an essential skill.

While improving his defensive skills, Chang Wei is also working to improve Thomas' physical fitness. He hopes that this big guy can gain weight appropriately while maintaining agility and moving speed, so that he can better share the defensive pressure on the inside for Daben .However, it may take some time for Thomas to adapt to his increased weight, which is a process that must be experienced.

In the system, Thomas' defensive rating has been rising at a very slow rate, but at least his progress has not stalled, which is good news.Moreover, Chang Wei never expected Thomas to become a defensive champion. His goal was to make this guy an inside player with a balanced offense and defense, and it would be better to be more offensive.

The Pistons have no shortage of defensive players. Thomas only needs to reach the upper-middle level, but the team lacks scorers. Thomas, who has recovered his three-point shooting ability, is a very important scoring point and outside line restraint point for the Pistons. Chang Wei does not want him Losing his own characteristics because he was too focused on defense, it would definitely not be worth the candle for the team.

Brown is happy to see the results of Chang Wei's strengthening of special training Thomas, but he is even more happy that the team's chemical reaction has gradually formed. For a team that relies on team strength to win, this is the most critical part. item.

Watching his team grow stronger, Brown smiles every day, but there is still a knot in his heart, that is the 76ers.In his opinion, the 76ers are already extremely strong, so strong that it doesn't matter if Iverson is there or not, even if he is the leader of the team, as long as Arenas is moved to the starting position, and then win the championship Not a dream.

However, the team chose to keep Iverson instead of him, which made the old coach feel very sad. Although he never overestimated his ability, any fool can see that his role is greater than Iverson Some, and with the help of Chang Wei, it is not a big problem to choose a similar point guard in the draft. Iverson is not irreplaceable.

Chang Wei naturally knew Brown's mood, but what could be done?In the commercial league of the NBA, everything must make way for interests.Indeed, Brown has proven his coaching ability, but Iverson is the signature of the 76ers. As the well-known "Son of Philadelphia", it is impossible for the team to give up this star who can bring box office.

But Brown soon got a chance for revenge. On December 12, local time, the 5ers will sit at home against the Pistons. This is the first time he has returned to the place that brought him glory after leaving Philadelphia.But this time his mentality is completely different. He wants to prove to the 76ers management and Iverson that even if he leaves Philadelphia, he can still cultivate a strong team.

As the game approached, the media began to hype the grievances between Brown and Iverson.Although both parties were silent about it, the reporters used their ability to catch wind and shadows to the extreme, and publicized the grievances between the master and apprentice in the newspapers, which also made this match the focus of attention in the United States. Many TV stations A live broadcast is also scheduled.

This kind of movement put a lot of pressure on Brown. Although he had a revenge mentality at the beginning, the media reports now made him have to win the game.But how easy is it?At present, the 76ers lead the East with a record of 23 wins and 4 losses, which is also the best record in the league. The Pistons must pay [-]% of their efforts if they want to win or lose.

Even Chang Wei, who has always been full of confidence in this Pistons team, felt that this game was a bit tricky, not to mention how enthusiastic the Philadelphia fans are at the 76ers' home court. They have already experienced how enthusiastic the Philadelphia fans are. Are you performing at a normal level in such an environment?Chang Wei expressed doubts about this, but at least Billups doesn't have to worry about it. The big-hearted commander can basically play at a normal level in every game. With him, the performance of the Pistons should not be much worse.

But in order to help Brown win the game, Chang Wei slightly adjusted the players' training plan, and at the same time, magic drinks were distributed everywhere like no money, so that they could recover faster after training.For Iverson, Chang Wei can't say he likes it, nor can he say he hates it, but he can't accept the fact that he is forced to leave the head coach for the sake of his status in the team, and the possibility of cultivating a good player is better than cultivating him. A good coach is much higher.

If this game can defeat the 76ers and limit Iverson at the same time, maybe this arrogant guy can know that basketball is not only a sport for five people, but the coach is also a very important part.
