God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 438

After the draft, there was a new wave in the free agent market, but it had nothing to do with the Pistons.After many discussions, Dumars and Brown agreed that the Pistons don't need to add any more manpower. If the players they have can perform well, the only thing they need to do is to clean up the water fountain guards.

Chang Wei also believes that the guys on the roster are enough for the Pistons to fight for the new season. The starting lineup is Billups, Hamilton, Prince, Thomas and Ben, and the bench is Wade, Crawford, Simmons, Diaw and Haywood, plus a few players who can only play a few minutes per game, can basically make up the team's 15-man roster.

Of course, other teams will do the same, but if they encounter a large-scale injury wave, they will also brew new deals in the middle of the season.But the Pistons have never worried about such things. To be precise, Chang Wei has never been worried. Player injuries are a piece of cake for him, and the depth of the Pistons' lineup is also good, which can fully withstand the short-term absence of a certain player. .

This also means that the work of the Pistons this year's offseason ends here, which is a typical feature of Chang Wei's team.Under Chang Wei's intentional or unintentional influence, the head coach and the management believe that the rookies they selected in the draft are enough to make up for the team's shortcomings, and this is what Chang Wei has established with the success of the draft for two consecutive years. trust.

It stands to reason that after the offseason work is over, they should go back to their respective families to find their respective mothers, but this time Chang Wei decided to let the team add a new project.He found Brown and said bluntly: "Coach, I think we should prepare a meeting for newcomers, and then treat this as a tradition of our team. I think it will be very interesting."

Brown was a little caught off guard by Chang Wei's new suggestion. He thought about what a meeting is called, and then asked curiously: "Don't we have a training camp? It seems that there is no need to hold a meeting before that." ..."

Chang Wei shrugged and said with a smile: "I want to let them get acquainted with each other in advance, so that they can meet in the training hall to train during the offseason. Of course, if they need it, I can also give some on-site guidance. "

Brown is also a training maniac, and Chang Wei's reason is in his favor. In addition, a small number of Pistons players have been training in a team in a training hall in downtown Detroit during this period. It is more convenient for everyone to hold a meeting together. .

In order to avoid unnecessary work, Brown simply authorized Chang Wei to organize the meeting.Chang Wei usually has a good relationship with the players in the team, and everyone knows his training level, not only the few players who stayed in Detroit, but also other Pistons players who are on vacation at home and have nothing else to do. Go back to the team and meet your new teammates.

Wade and Diaw, who were all drafted by the Pistons in the draft, were even more ok, but they were a little nervous about meeting their teammates so soon, which is not what NBA teams have always done.Chang Wei had no choice but to tell his reasons for persuading Brown, and then he calmed down the two nervous and restless hearts.

In fact, Chang Wei's reason is not aimless. He really hopes that these two rookies will train with the old players during the offseason. No matter who they are, as long as they can train together.Although Dior is known as the "French Magician" and Wade was the first player to win the championship among the 03 rookies in his previous life, they are still pink and tender rookies now.If they can train with other Pistons players in advance, they can quickly integrate into the system after the training camp starts.

A large-scale meeting was quickly organized. Chang Wei specially rented the largest box in a restaurant in Detroit in the name of the team, entertained two rookies in the form of a buffet, and even came to meet the newcomers. other players.Unsurprisingly, Wade and Dior were warmly welcomed by them. Even though Dior's English is not very fluent, everyone waited patiently for him to finish what he wanted to say, instead of treating rookies as usual Start booing like that.

Soon Wade and Diaw got involved in the warm atmosphere of the team. Although the Pistons' style of play is very iron-blooded, the relationship between the players off the field is very good. joke.This made the two rookies feel very relaxed, and they had a little more hope for the new season. Among other things, this atmosphere is still very comfortable.

After a large group of people were full of food and drink, Chang Wei began to investigate the situation: "Raise your hand if you are going to consciously train during the offseason."

Everyone looked at each other, and then players including Billups, Hamilton and Ben raised their hands.

There were shameful looks on the faces of the others, who had already begun to give themselves a holiday.But Chang Wei didn't care about their expressions, but continued to ask: "Those who have already trained with them can put their hands down directly."

A few raised arms were put down, but there were still many arms held up tenaciously.Chang Wei looked at it, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Chauncey, you are in charge of training with Dwyane, is it okay?" Billups nodded.

"Then Boris will be in your hands, Tim, and it would be even better if you could teach him English by the way!"

Before Thomas could make a statement, Dior raised his hand and said in poor English: "Chang, I'm a small forward. If I'm not mistaken, Tim is our starting power forward. Why do I need to be with him?" train?"

Can you tell me the real reason?Should I tell you in your previous life that you showed a different style when you switched to inside later in your career?Although at that time you were already too fat to see the initial outline...

Chang Wei complained wildly in his heart, but his face was like a spring breeze. He smiled and said: "Oh, I think you can try to swing up, use the ball and shoot to beat those guys who are taller than you. And the team There needs to be another pivot in the second lineup, and I think you, the French magician, are up to the task."

Dior frowned and thought for a while, but agreed with Chang Wei's statement, at worst, he just insisted on playing small forward.Of course, Chang Wei promises that if they have any questions, they can ask him at any time, but he will not watch the players train from the sidelines, because he has more important things to do, and training Yao Ming is more exciting for him. .
