After the draft was over, Chang Wei began to prepare for the training camp in full swing. Training camp is an important stage for every team, players can regain their competitive form during the training process, and at the same time start to run in with their teammates and face the new season with a better mental outlook.

Now the team's main lineup is ready to be called, starting point guard Iverson, point guard Snow, small forward Lynch, power forward Lewis, center Mutombo. Although Chang Wei thinks Mason is more suitable than Lynch to be the team's starting small forward, Brown will definitely not agree, and it is already his bottom line to let Lewis enter the starting lineup.

As for Reid, Chang Wei believes that the former Bucks boss still needs more targeted training, while also learning from the game, and now having him as the team's bench scoring arrow is the best. Moreover, Snow's defense is much better than him, and he is more suitable to be Iverson's partner, and if Reid is rashly promoted to the starting lineup, the team's outside defense will have to rely on Lynch alone, which is undoubtedly a huge disaster and will cause more pressure on Mutombo.

However, Chang Wei does not plan to improve Iverson's defensive ability, as long as he can change his bad habit of gambling on steals. In addition, Iverson likes to shoot big two-pointers, which is the most cost-effective offensive method on the basketball court, because the shooting percentage is not as high as the score under the basket, and second, there is no one-point bonus from the three-point shot. Thinking of the three-point shot, Chang Wei felt the need to improve Iverson's outside scoring ability, and outside the three-point line has never been the scoring area he is good at, which is not good.

Training camp is about to begin, but because of the number of new players added this offseason, Brown wants to gather everyone to the gym the day before camp starts. On the day of the meeting, Chang Wei habitually came to the training hall early and began to inspect the place where he would stay for several seasons in the future.

Compared with NCAA teams, NBA teams obviously have a better training environment, even better than prestigious schools like Duke, after all, they also have income, but the NCAA can only rely on school grants and ticket revenue. This makes Chang Wei feel very excited, and a good training environment can naturally greatly reduce his work pressure.

At 9 a.m., all the coaches and players of the team arrived at the training hall, and this year there were five more players in the squad – Mutombo, Lewis, Mason, Reed and Mike Leod, and only one more person on the coaching staff: Chang Wei. Although Michaelod was traded with Mutombo, he was just an add-on, and after saying hello to everyone, he found a place to stand silently, and it was clear that he didn't think he would get any chances.

Mutombo is a very familiar one, not without playing with 76ers players in the past few seasons, but he is familiar with his new teammates, and he quickly got into a laugh with his teammates. Lewis is more shy, which is also determined by his own personality, and Chang Wei believes that if he can be more confident, his relationship with his teammates should quickly become harmonious. As for Mason and Reed, they are even more shy, and even a little trembling, after all, in any team, it is already a tradition for old men to trick rookies in various ways, and as pink and tender newcomers, they are still a little overwhelmed in their hearts.

However, when Chang Wei stood up and was about to introduce himself, everyone's expressions became very strange, whether they were old players or newcomers, there was a clear look of distrust in their eyes. Indeed, Chang Wei looks too young, and he is an Asian, in fact, before Yao Ming joined the NBA and made a name for himself, there were very few people in the NBA who were optimistic about Chinese players, let alone Chang Wei, a physical assistant coach who is also from China.

Chang Wei was not unaware of the players' gaze, but he was already immune, after all, he would encounter such suspicious eyes every time he arrived at a new team. However, in the future, Chang Wei would always use his ability to slap all the doubters in the face, so this time he did not have any special reaction to the doubts of all the players.

Under the distrustful gaze of more than a dozen people, Chang Wei walked up to everyone generously and said loudly: "I know that everyone is distrustful of my age and nationality, and it doesn't matter, because this is not the first time I have been treated like this." But just like the previous times, I'm still going to train you in my own way, and I hope you'll be able to withstand it. ”

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Chang Wei, Chinese, I don't have any previous NBA experience, but I have helped Villanova University and Colorado State win two NCAA championships. And if you've watched the live stream of the 1998 draft, you probably have some impression of my nickname, yes, I'm the 'Oriental Magician' that Maddie they call it. They trust me, so they become stronger, and I hope you can trust me as well. ”

"I don't allow you to question my training plan, even if you think my plan is ridiculous, but carry it out to the letter, after all, I am more professional than you in this area. I take anyone's opinion, as long as your opinion is reasonable, I will adjust it according to the situation, but if you are vexatious, don't blame your teammates for being much better than you when the time comes! ”

Brown stood next to him and looked at Chang Wei with a serious face in surprise, he had always thought that this Chinese kid was a very good talkative guy, but he didn't expect Chang Wei to be so tough. Just as he was about to step forward and give his new assistant a little support, a cold snort rang out in the team, fully expressing his disdain.

Brown, the owner of the voice, doesn't have to tell who it is, and there is currently no second thorn in the team other than Iverson. Speaking of which, he himself loves and hates the number one star, Brown never denies Iverson's ability, and even thinks that he is one of the most powerful point guards in the league at the moment, but this guy's temper is always maddening.

Chang Wei naturally also noticed the rebellious Iverson, but fortunately, the latter still knew how to be proportionate, and did not embarrass him in front of everyone, but just expressed his attitude with a hum. However, if you want to make a career in the 76ers, Iverson cannot be ignored, and the only thing Chang Wei can do is to use his ability to conquer this little man and prove the value of his existence.
