Chapter 202: Extraordinary Treatment
After Chang Wei's flicker, Bale obediently signed his name on a 10-day contract, and as a player benefit, he can move to the dormitory tonight. Bell was a little worried that his new teammates would not be easy to deal with, but Chang Wei's words made him choke half to death: "It's okay, everyone has bought a house anyway, and you are basically the only one in the dormitory"
It just so happened that the 76ers didn't play the next day, and Chang Wei took Bell and Brown to meet him, and then pulled him to the training gym to get acquainted with his teammates. For such a young rookie, everyone behaved very friendly, and even the always arrogant Iverson nodded at him as a greeting. Snow, as the captain, took Bale to introduce the 76ers players one by one, although the latter had watched the 76ers games more than once, but it was the first time to have direct contact with the players.
Seeing that everyone's attitude towards the newcomers was very good, Brown was also relieved, but he still pulled Chang Wei aside and asked in a low voice: "Chang, did you tell him about Raja's status in the team?" I don't want him to blame himself for having too little time. ”
Chang Wei nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have already explained everything to him, and I will personally follow up his training during this time." But then again, you have to give him normal playing time, at least about the same as Rodney, otherwise how can people be motivated to fight for the next contract? I guess the general manager won't agree to it, right? ”
Brown said, "As long as he performs in training, I'm not going to skimp on playing time. As for the contract, Billy was originally authorized to me, maybe he didn't take such a contract that is not even a basic salary in his eyes, right? I'll still be able to call the shots if I renew my contract for a short period of time, but if I want to be promoted to a permanent contract, it will depend on his performance. ”
Chang Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "As long as I can ensure a certain amount of playing time, there will be no problem, I think I can train him to be an excellent defensive expert, so that the strength of our team on the defensive end will be more guaranteed." ”
Chang Wei's confident appearance made Brown a little embarrassed, in fact, he was not very optimistic about Bell's development prospects, in his opinion, such a player who was not from the draft and had never played in an official NBA game before was almost impossible to come out. Of course, Brown admits that there are many players in NBA history who didn't participate in the draft and ended up making a name for themselves, but he doesn't believe in his luck, and Bell is thankful that he can play normally on the court, but it's just a short contract anyway.
After getting acquainted with his teammates, Bale was taken aside by Chang Wei for individual training, and with his strength, he can't train with his teammates now, and he still needs more targeted training. Chang Wei has made it clear to him in advance, and Bale has accepted this fact after a small loss, and he also knows that the 76ers are not small this season, and players who perform too poorly can basically only sit on the cold bench, and they still have a lot to learn compared to others.
After signing Bale, Chang Wei has already considered what kind of training programs to set for him, the most important thing is defensive positioning, in other words, the judgment of the opponent's actions, the higher the success rate, the more likely he is to complete the steal. Chang Wei didn't play a big role in this regard, so he decisively shouted towards the other field: "Aaron, are you free now?" ”
Since the elimination of Mustard, Iverson has greatly admired Chang Wei's ability, and the relationship between the two is quite good. It is not yet the stage of tactical training, the players are training according to the previous training plan, with the help of other assistant coaches, with Iverson's strength and status, whether he is free or not depends on his own mood. So when he heard Chang Wei's shout, he replied very cheerfully: "I can spare time at any time, do you need my help with anything?" ”
Saying that, he casually hit a mid-range shot, and without even picking up the ball, he ran over in a hurry. Chang Wei pointed to Bell, who was a little pale, and smiled at Iverson, "I want you to help me train Raja." ”
Iverson also laughed: "Chang, aren't you done training by yourself?" I don't train anyone. ”
Chang Wei patted his head and said, "Blame me for not making it clear." I wanted to develop Raga into a great perimeter defender, but he's always played as a scorer, on the defensive end...... Probably not so good at ...... So I want you to play one-on-one with him, give him a little pressure to improve himself, and also figure out something of his own by the way. ”
Iverson looked at Bell, who was a little nervous in the center of the court, and rubbed his hands "evilly" and said, "Then you can rest assured, it's still cool to do this kind of thing once in a while, hehehe......"
Chang Wei was completely relieved of Iverson's strength, and he believed that Bell could learn some experience and lessons from it, but he still couldn't help but admonish: "People are still rookies, Aaron, don't go too far." ”
Iverson shook his finger at him like Mutombo, picked up a ball and walked into the field, pretending to be serious and said: "Raga, you must have heard the conversation between me and Chang just now, now I will attack your defense, don't cry later!" ”
Chang Wei coughed dryly and said to Bell, "Hmm...... Raja, I can tell you one thing first, there are not many players in the team who can train one-on-one with Allen in training, and Eric is the only one at the moment, so enjoy it, and if you can finish him off on the defensive end, I'll invite you to dinner at the best restaurant in Philadelphia tonight! ”
Bell almost had the urge to burst into tears, and he didn't want this kind of treatment. Although he knew that this was to allow him to grow up as soon as possible, the opponent was a little too terrifying, right? Now the 1996 little man has the power of the league's No. 1 point guard, both in popularity and strength, and the offensive firepower makes every player responsible for defending him feel desperate. Such a person came to be a sparring partner for himself, this is going to kill me, right?
But Bale can't say that he doesn't need Iverson to practice with him, because the opponent's position in the team is very important, and he doesn't have to mix here anymore if he dares to punch him in the face; Second, Bell is still a little unconvinced, he thinks that he couldn't get the contract before just because no one saw his shining points, and now he naturally has to work hard to prove himself.
