Chapter 315: Special Training

After sending Arenas away, Chang Wei fell into deep thought again. Obviously, Arenas doesn't have many shortcomings in terms of playing skills, and there is nothing to fault with his physical fitness, but his emotions are a big problem. Judging from some of his actions in his previous life, even if he became the number one star of the Wizards, Arenas has not changed much, which is quite dangerous.

In Chang Wei's view, the most important thing for a player is not his skills, but his mentality. Any player can enter the NBA, there is no doubt about his talent, and many times he can't play because he doesn't meet a head coach who will use him, or because it doesn't fit in with the team's tactical system. But if they don't have the right mentality, their careers will get narrower and narrower, and even become an unstable factor in the dressing room, and such a player will certainly not be liked by every manager.

Arenas is relatively good, his talent is at the top in the NBA, and a little temper is tolerable. But Chang Wei hopes to further change Arenas' mentality and make this guy more peaceful, so that not only will it be easier to use, but his achievements may even exceed his previous life when he was at the peak of his Wizards.

Tempering the mentality of players is definitely more difficult than other training, but Chang Wei has thought of a good way, although I don't know how effective it is, but this is the best way Chang Wei can think of at the moment.

There aren't many old hooligans in the 76ers, Iverson is just unruly, and he's far from being dirty. In his previous life, Bale was a relatively dirty player, after all, he was a ruthless man who once used to lock Kobe's throat, but now he is still very young and has not learned these methods to provoke the opponent, and his actions on the defensive end have always been very clean. Others like Snow, Reed, Lynch and others are even better behaved, and they can't even provoke their opponents, and they obviously can't help.

So there is only one person Chang Wei can find as an assistant, and that is Mutombo.

Although Mutombo's ability value will drop rapidly from the beginning of the new season, his experience can be said to be the richest among all the players of the 76ers, and he is not hesitant to use small moves in the game, and he once angered the big shark O'Neal in the Finals, and now let him deal with Arenas, a rookie, can be said to kill chickens with a knife.

In fact, Chang Wei can go to other people for help, in the NCAA and NBA, he has also saved a lot of contacts, and if he wants to find someone to help, many times a phone call is enough, but there is no old ball ruffian like Mutombo among his contacts, and he needs such a player to deal with Arenas, so he can only call Mutombo's mobile phone.

Hearing that this year's rookie needs to help him, Mutombo promised that he has always been very enthusiastic, otherwise he would not have become an African ambassador for the NBA after retiring and continue to contribute to the development of African basketball. However, when he heard Chang Wei's request to him, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked, "Chang, are you joking?" Let me provoke Arenas in every way, even with those...... It doesn't matter if you can't get on the table? ”

Chang Wei smiled: "That's right, Deacon Bay, I just hope you can use your small actions against other players to deal with Gilbert, this guy has to learn to control his emotions, this is already the best way I can think of." ”

Mutombo was very smart, he quickly thought of Chang Wei's purpose, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, this is really the weirdest thing I've ever done in my career, but if you think it will help the team, then I will do my best." ”

Mutombo's statement made Chang Wei feel very satisfied, dealing with smart people is easy to deal with, he can almost imagine the tragic experience of Arenas. However, Chang Wei does not plan to tell Arenas the training content in advance, exposing the information in advance will have no effect, and only by showing a normal attitude to face Mutombo's provocation can Arenas grow more rapidly.

After obtaining Mutombo's consent, Chang Wei informed Brown of his plan. It's not that he doesn't want to say it in advance, Brown has already said that Chang Wei can train Arenas according to his own ideas, and now Chang Wei is just habitually reporting it. Brown is also a little ridiculous about Chang Wei's training plan, he has been coaching in the league for so many years, and it is the first time he has heard of such training, but he has let Chang Wei do it before, so just wait and see the effect.

Chang Wei just told Arenas that he was going to give him special training and hoped that he would come to the training hall on time in a day's time. This request made Arenas a little confused, but he was also a training maniac, since Chang Wei was going to conduct special training for him, then just go over directly, the only thing he wondered about was that the time to start training was a little too early, right?

When Arenas appeared in the training hall, he was simply confused, originally he thought that Chang Wei would let Bell come to do one-on-one training with him, but he didn't expect to see a huge figure, he easily recognized who this was after watching this year's finals, but that's how Arenas felt very strange, one-on-one with Mutombo? Is this to train his breakthrough and finishing ability under the basket? It's a whole new way of thinking.

After a rigorous warm-up session, Chang Wei asked Arenas and Mutombo to start one-on-one. As a defensive center with little or no ability to attack with the ball, Mutombo will always play the role of the defender in this one-on-one, allowing Arenas to attack with the ball in each round, and the latter is also polite, standing at the top of the arc with the ball ready to break through.

Previously, Chang Wei had informed Mutombo of Arenas' offensive habits and technical characteristics, so seeing Arenas standing at the top of the arc, Mutombo only moved to the position of one step inside the free throw line, not to the high position, which is not what he is good at. Seeing Mutombo's position, Arenas smiled slightly, lowered his center of gravity, and directly began to accelerate to the basket after continuous crotch changes, but soon his speed had to be reduced, Mutombo constantly used his body to collide with Arenas, making it a little difficult for him to control the basketball, and the small action of pulling the jersey was commonplace, how could this be rushed?

When Arenas struggled to get to the basket and was about to jump to the basket, Mutombo made a hidden small push on his side, and Arenas couldn't stabilize his center of gravity in mid-air at all, and the layup went straight out of the frame. Chang Wei on the sidelines smiled slightly, this is the real purpose of his letting Mutombo come to play against Arenas.
