Chapter Two Hundred and One: Small Talk
After the Heat game, Wang will reach 100 activity tomorrow and complete advanced tasks.
Wang Tomorrow was upgraded to level 50 and successfully spanned to an A-level coach.
Coaching: Rated A.
You are an excellent basketball coach with a high level of literacy in the field of basketball, and you are able to do an excellent job of player development coaching, court command, drilling, and creating tactics.
At level 50, Wang will gain a new skill tomorrow.
"Legendary Coach: You have a great reputation in the basketball halls, free agents prefer to play under you, and your success rate in negotiating a signing is 100% higher (Advanced)"
The legendary coach is a passive skill, and as soon as it comes out, it directly rises to the top.
Wang Mingming is still very satisfied with this skill, he already has several court command skills, and he would like to see some other skills.
.......
In late February, after the road trip, head back to Philadelphia.
The smell of winter has not yet subsided, but the weather has gradually warmed up.
Iverson organized a party at his home and invited some of his colleagues and friends to attend.
Wang Mingming, as the head coach of the team, was of course also invited, and he could have taken Gal Gadot with him, but Gale went to New York to take over the cover shoot and there was no schedule.
The main meaning of this party is that Iverson's wife, Tavana, is about to celebrate her 28th birthday.
Although Iverson and Tavana had a big quarrel for three days and a small quarrel for five days, their relationship was very deep, and their marriage did not break down.
In addition, now that Iverson has won the championship, he is knotted, and the family is really happy.
Wang Ming didn't know about Iverson and Tavana's past, but he only learned that it seemed that Iverson had already met his wife when he was in high school, and then began to develop a relationship, and finally entered the palace of marriage.
Wang Tomorrow was very formal and appeared in a suit.
Suits are a universal attire, interviews, jobs, attending parties, etc., wearing a suit gives people a very formal and spiritual feeling.
In addition to friends of Iverson's wife, Tavana, most of the party attendees were 76ers players, and there were some staff members who had a good relationship with Allen Iverson.
The party was held in Iverson's Philadelphia mansion, with several floors inside and out, red carpets, candles, cakes, and balloons.
In the midst of the staggering, Wang Mingming and his teammates chatted.
In the past, in the stadium, the players were too divided with each other, no matter how close Wang Tomorrow was, the position of head coach was over there, everyone had to look at Wang Tomorrow's command and arrangement, and some words would definitely not be able to be talked about.
In this opportunity, the people can speak in more depth, as a kind of friend.
"I've heard that the Pistons are determined to rebuild and have decided to swap out some of the team's players." Assistant coach Randy Ayes said he knows some of the league's gossip.
"Who's out there?"
Wang Tomorrow didn't believe it at first, but after thinking about it, his face was solemn, and it was obvious that such a thing could happen.
"Is it because the Pistons don't see hope in the East?" Paul Millsap said with a laugh.
Iguodala sighed a little: "In the first two years, against the Pistons, they couldn't beat the Pistons at all, and they were one of the best defensive teams in history. β
Wang Ming remembered some things at the beginning, so he also said to the players,
"I remember when I first entered the NBA interview, many teams would use the Pistons as an imaginary enemy, let me come up with a countermeasure, after all, in the East, the Pistons were the first to be beaten, and no one could shake his position."
"What did the coach have in mind?"
Tyronn Lue was very interested in Wang's idea of tomorrow, and his mind was racing to build a lineup of the Pistons Peak Five.
Wang Ming smiled dumbly and didn't want to say it, but the players and assistant coaches all coaxed, "Let's talk about it!" "They insisted that the king speak tomorrow.
Wang Mingming thought for a while, and then said: "It's not interesting to talk about other teams, let's talk about our current team, as far as our current 76-man lineup is concerned, when it meets the peak Pistons, it actually has the power to fight." β
No coach will take the initiative to belittle his disciples and undermine their confidence, even if Wang is the current head coach of the Timberwolves, the players ask this, he still has to tell the truth of "five or five open".
"What do you think is the scariest thing about the Pinnacle Pistons?"
"What is it?" Tyronn Lu seemed to have grasped Wang Mingming's thoughts and inspiration, and couldn't wait to ask.
The king paused tomorrow to give everyone room to think.
Randy Ayes said: "It's defense, I think the Pistons' defensive system is perfect, from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, they can defend alone, they can help defend, they can build the most layered and iron-blooded defense in the league, they can play tough battles, and their physical strength is amazing." β
The No. 1 assistant coach of Pinnacle Pistons head coach Larry Brown is none other than Randy Ayes, and his opinion also represents the opinion of most people, and everyone thinks so.
Wang Ming nodded in approval, but immediately threw out his different opinions.
"The strongest thing about the Pistons is their rhythm control, the Pistons are always in a rhythm of their own, and neither the Spurs nor the Suns can deviate the rhythm of the Pistons in their BGM........ In the rhythm, no one can beat them. β
Wang continued: "Of course, the main credit for this may go to Chauncey Billups, who is one of the league's highest ball quotients, the rhythm master, and the brain of the Pistons. β
"So, to beat the Pistons, first to break their rhythm, then the proposition becomes very simple, to beat the Pistons, first to beat Chauncey Billups."
"I heard that the person the Pistons traded this time was Chauncey Billups." Wang was about to say something clichΓ© tomorrow, such as oppressive defense, invading fouls, severing contact, switching offense and defense to make fouls, etc., when Randy Ayes interrupted him.
This made Wang Ming very shocked, "Is the piston so fierce, just don't want the core?" β
"Cavaliers, Celtics, Magic, 76ers." Tyronn Lue sighed: "In the big four teams, except for the Celtics, who have an older age structure, the others, including us, are all youngster-dominated lineups, and as time goes on, we will only get stronger and stronger, while the Pistons are getting weaker and weaker, and it's no wonder Joe Dumas doesn't see hope." β
The Pistons have been wanting to trade Chauncey Billups for a long time, but unfortunately, no team has been able to give Joe Dumas a bargaining chip that will satisfy him.
In this way, the deal that should have been completed in the summer has been delayed until now.
For a while, there was no news about this, but now it has come out again, very violently, and it seems that things are not far from ten.
Not long after the party, just before the trade deadline, the NBA broke out in a heavyweight trade.
Chauncey Billups was traded to the Denver-Nuggets in a swap with the Nuggets' leading point guard Andre Miller, who also paid a first-round pick, as well as some cash.
Although Billups is low-key, he is still the leader of a team after all, and trading it out like this means that on the one hand, a giant club in the East has completely entered the ranks of rebuilding, and on the other hand, the depressed Carmelo Anthony has ushered in the first All-Star level teammate of his career.
The Nuggets have completed the upgrade, and although they are missing a first-round pick, their strength has skyrocketed.
