Chang Wei looked at Arenas, who was a little depressed, and asked with a smile: "Why did you choose black coffee?" Most of the players I know aren't interested in black coffee, but you're a little different! ”

Arenas smiled reluctantly and diverted the subject: "Let's talk about the new season!" ”

Chang Wei smiled and said, "Okay, as you wish." As you know, as a championship team, our main lineup is very stable, and we value your scoring ability. According to Coach Brown's positioning, your role in the new season will be the leading scorer of the bench, and you will have unlimited firing rights, but you will not play too much. ”

"But I believe I have what it takes to be a starting point guard!" Arenas huffed, "I know Reid is strong, but he's nothing great, and my ability to create chances is obviously better than him!" ”

Chang Wei was laughed at angrily, he had not encountered arrogant players, but those players had a very clear understanding of their situation, and Arenas was obviously not one of them. If it weren't for his lack of qualifications, Reed could have become the MVP of last season's Finals, and Arenas was going to grab Reed's starting spot when he first arrived, is this possible?

"I'm sorry, Gilbert, but you've got to work hard from the bench!"

Arenas said disdainfully: "Could it be that the championship team is also a place of seniority?" Is it because Reid came in last year and I'm here this year, so I can't take his place anytime soon? ”

Chang Wei thanked the waiter who brought the coffee in a low voice, took a sip, and said seriously: "I think you probably forgot one thing, Michael was only the 40th pick in the second round last year, and he was able to become the team's starting point guard, which was completely the result of his own efforts, and even Eric had no opinion on such an arrangement, can you do it like this?" ”

Arenas blushed, completely forgetting about it and focusing on whether he could make the starting line-up. He said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, I take back what I said before, so can I be a starter this season?" That's my biggest wish, I don't want to waste time on the bench, I want to play more! ”

Chang Wei sneered and asked rhetorically, "Is your wish just to be a starter for the 76ers?" ”

Arenas was stunned, he didn't know what Chang Wei's words meant, wasn't it a big and difficult goal to be the starter of a championship team? It's okay to make this a rookie season goal, right?

Looking at Arenas's thoughtful appearance, Chang Wei said categorically: "Gilbert, I believe that you can become a superstar in the league in the near future, if you can do what you have to do seriously......"

Becoming a superstar was Arenas' desire, of course, but he never showed it in front of people, not even his closest parents and girlfriends. But today, Chang Wei bluntly said that he can become a superstar, is this a sincere prophecy and blessing, or is it an expedient measure to make himself feel at ease to play as a substitute in the 76ers in the new season?

How could Chang Wei not see his thoughts? He said slowly: "If you know my resume, you can know that my vision is basically infallible. Whether it's Tim Thomas or Brand, Maddie and Battier, or even Reed and Lewis, their growth has a lot to do with me, and now they're basically good players, and Maddie is a rising star in the league, so you can trust my judgment, I say you can do it, you can do it! ”

Chang Wei's words set off a huge wave in Arenas's heart, he didn't know that Maddie thanked Chang Wei for his help in the draft, but he just thought that these players just said some beautiful words, but he didn't expect Chang Wei to play a very key role in it. If this is the case, then Chang Wei's vision is really too vicious, except for Mason, who was exchanged for a first-round pick, it can be said that he is not wrong every time he looks at people.

And now, he says he can become a superstar in the future!

Arenas's heart is hot, but thinking about the role positioning that Chang Wei told him before, he is a little surprised, can he become a top star in the league by playing as a substitute? Are you kidding? It's not a superstar without a substitute in the past, but the probability is too small, and it's more of a super rookie who has been established as the core of the team just after entering the team.

Therefore, Arenas hopes that he can enter the team's starting lineup as soon as possible, and then strive to become the core player of the team, so that he will have more playing time and shooting opportunities, and the natural data will be more beautiful, even if he can't become a top star in the parent team, it is the same to be traded to other rebuilding teams, Arenas believes that as long as he builds a team around himself, he will definitely be able to lead the team to the finals and win the championship, and his self-confidence has always been able to break through the sky.

But Chang Wei said that he could become a superstar and let him play as a substitute, which made Arenas a little incomprehensible. He asked suspiciously, "Then what does this have to do with me playing as a substitute?" Isn't it necessary to start as soon as possible to become a star? ”

Chang Wei drank all the coffee in the cup and said solemnly, "Gilbert, what do you think are the shortcomings of your technique?" ”

Arenas looked down and thought about it, and said very confidently, "I don't think I have any shortcomings. ”

Chang Wei shook his head with a smile and said, "Even Jordan had a big problem at the beginning of his career, are you better than him?" To be honest, I've seen footage of your NCAA games, and in my opinion, your biggest problem is your shot selection. ”

"Shot options? What's wrong with shot selection? As long as you have the opportunity to shoot directly, isn't it? ”

"Maybe what I'm saying is a little ugly, but Gilbert, in my opinion, you're a very emotional player, and your shooting choices are always influenced by your emotions, which greatly affects your shooting efficiency and consistency. When you can learn to play like a professional and not let your emotions affect your performance, then you have taken the first step on the road to success. Now you're still a pink rookie, you have the talent to be a superstar, but you don't have the mentality to be a superstar, and if you don't change that, you can only look up to other people! The bench is just about polishing your personality, and if you can impress Coach Brown with your performances, it's not impossible to be a starter. ”
