Chapter 67: Mention
The 76ers can win against the Rockets, and the play of the bench is also crucial.
Now the substitute lineup that Wang usually uses tomorrow is Louis Williams + Willie Green + Saab Safrosa + Paul Millsap and Steven Hunter.
Under special circumstances, Wang will also arrange for new signings Steve Blake and Ousan Ilyasova to play tomorrow.
And then there's the team's real fringe people, or sparring partners.
Every player has a role to play and can play on the pitch, especially the goalscorers.
can fire from outside the three-point line, and 9 of the 12 people in the roster.
Only Hellam Porter, Millsap and Hunter couldn't shoot threes.
The 76ers' shooter base is already the largest of any NBA team.
Looking at this 76ers team, Wang Mingming's idea is similar to "a certain Cavaliers", but it is not the same, it may be similar in theory, but in the specific game, it is another matter.
And with the strengthening of the run-in of the lineup, the 76ers started a wave of honeymoon schedule.
Since February, the 76ers' schedule has not been very tight, and the number of back-to-back games has decreased considerably.
Before the All-Star break, the 76ers were 27-25, a winning percentage of more than 50 percent, and ranked sixth in the East.
It's really feng shui in turns, the Knicks and Hawks who laughed at the 76ers at the beginning were not in the top eight, but the 76ers were far ahead.
Wang's record is 24-14, with a winning rate of more than 6 to 3, and he can rank in the top five among all coaches in the league.
In the NBA, Wang Tomorrow is completely popular, the youngest head coach, super on-the-spot adaptability, and first-class tactical ideas.
.......
The '07 All-Star Game was held in Las Vegas.
It is the 56th All-Star Game in history and the first time that Las Vegas has hosted an NBA All-Star Game.
Because Las Vegas does not have an NBA team, there is no such thing as a host, and there are many big-name stars who are interested in the MVP of the All-Star Game.
On the 76ers, Iverson played in the All-Star Game as the starting All-Star in the East, Paul Millsap in the Rookie Challenge, and Kyle Korver in the three-point contest.
Kyle Korver didn't really want to play in the three-point shooter, so when the league sent out an invitation, he hesitated.
But Wang's words changed his mind.
"Okay!"
Eventually, Korver decided to participate in the three-point contest on the condition that Wang would join them at a group event in Las Vegas tomorrow.
Wang was pulled by Iverson, Millsap and Korver to get on a flight to Las Vegas.
Not long after leaving the airport, there was a lot of media crowding.
Part of it was about Iverson, and part of it was about Wang Mingming.
Wang took off his sunglasses tomorrow, and most of the Chinese media present were moved by his small gesture.
"Coach Wang, I am a reporter from the Basketball Herald", the long-haired man put the recorder in front of Wang Mingming, and was the first to ask a question, speaking clearly, attracting Wang Mingming's attention.
"Now that the coach of the Chinese national team is undecided, someone broke the news that the Basketball Association intends to invite you back to coach the Chinese national team, is there such a thing?"
"Huh?"
Wang Mingming didn't expect that the attention of the Chinese media was not the NBA arena, but about the Chinese national team, Wang Mingming was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "At present, I have not received any notice and invitation, and because I have taken the coaching certificate in the United States, I have not registered as a qualified coach in China, even if I want to take the post, I have to go back and take the certificate first, right?" What if it hasn't? ”
Wang Mingming made a joke that made everyone smile.
After answering reporters' questions, Wang Mingming, Iverson and others took the vehicle provided by the All-Star Committee and went to the hotel.
Iverson and others belong to the official All-Star list, and there are free rooms to provide, but Wang Tomorrow is not the East coach of the All-Star Game, so he belongs to tourists and does not have this benefit.
Iverson was very polite, and insisted on arranging a luxury hotel for Wang tomorrow.
After the four of them put down their luggage, Iverson led the team and went straight to the casino in Las Vegas.
This reflects the difference between young coaches, several of them are peers, they can play more openly, they are masters and apprentices on the field, and they are good friends and buddies off the field.
"I don't gamble, I don't have any money."
Wang Mingming first made his position clear, if he has the money to spend a lot of money in the casino, he might as well buy stocks, so as not to be a stud.
"I'll give it to you!"
Iverson immediately said that he would give Wang 50,000 dollars tomorrow to play - this is not the first time he has done such a thing, he also often helps the lives of his friends on the rivers and lakes, and there are about a dozen people who rely on Iverson's income to live, drive luxury cars, live in luxury houses, and live better than Wang tomorrow.
Some strange thoughts popped up in Wang Mingming's mind, and he looked at Iverson with a slight hint of sympathy.
He took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Aaron, you have to take good care of your own wealth!" ”
"What's the matter, there are no thieves here." Iverson joked in confusion.
"No, I mean, the road of life is long and difficult, and it is good and cherishes ......."
Allen Iverson: "......."
"It's better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, you give me this $50,000, you might as well tell me how you earned this money, or if you have any better ways to make money, maybe I will have more money than you in the future." Wang Ming said meaningfully.
Iverson listened thoughtfully.
If it was someone else's words, he would have laughed it off, but Wang Mingming's words, I don't know why, went deep into his heart.
Wang Mingming breathed a sigh of relief, saw Iverson who was confused, and was glad that he used the prop "Sincerity Microphone".
Heartfelt and heartfelt.
"Aaron, I've heard that you've helped a lot of friends, and they now rely on your income as their main source of livelihood. And I've also heard that these people have basically lost their survival skills, and if one day, I mean, you retire from the NBA and you don't make that much money, these friends of yours might starve to death on the streets. ”
Wang stuffed $50,000 back into Iverson's arms tomorrow, and Iverson's face was shocked.
"You might as well think about how to find a serious job for your group of friends, we have a saying in China - poverty is a disease, if you have to treat it, let it go, you are harming your friends."
Iverson was speechless, holding hundreds of thousands of dollars in his hand, and he was stunned like a fool.
And at this moment, Yao Ming's mountain-like body came out from behind Wang Mingming, patted Wang Mingming's shoulder, and made a heavy voice.
"Coach Wang, let's have two, the stud is very exciting, so it's better to be a gambling god yourself."
