Chang Wei has already agreed with Brown that he will definitely not give too much playing time until Lewis has not exercised his physical strength. Obviously, his suggestion is very much to Brown's appetite, the old coach is the kind of person who can't rub sand in his eyes, even if Chang Wei doesn't say it, he won't give Lewis more than 30 minutes per game, after all, winning is the first priority.

Lewis didn't play more than 20 minutes in two straight games and was also unavailable in the second half of the crucial fourth quarter. The local media in Philadelphia were keenly aware of the change, but they gave up after a few days of fire, and there was no way, who let the 76ers not pay a high price for Lewis? Readers may still be interested in Mutombo being pressed to the bench, and Lewis is a player who has previously been on the bench with the SuperSonics.

If you change to another player, you may lose your temper because of it, and it is not impossible to even be passive and slack off. However, under the guidance of Chang Wei, Lewis took the limitation of playing time as the motivation for him to continue to train hard, and took the initiative to increase the long-distance run to 15 kilometers every morning. If he goes away with the team, he will also choose to go to the gym and run the same distance on the treadmill, anyway, with Chang Wei's magic drink as a base, he is not afraid to train himself to the point that he has no physical strength at all.

Although Brown didn't give Lewis much playing time, he was also concerned about his training, after all, there are very few power forwards in the team now, and the two-man rotation is relatively dangerous, and any injury is too much for the team to bear. In the face of Brown's inquiry, Chang Wei's answer was ambiguous every time, which made the old man blow his beard and stare at him angrily.

Chang Wei didn't mean to hide the situation, but he didn't know what to say. He himself could see Lewis' improvement in fitness from the system, but he couldn't describe it in detail to Brown, so he had to reluctantly say to the boss: "When I think Lashad can afford to play more than 30 minutes, I'll report it in time." ”

Fortunately, Hill is fully in good health at the moment, and there is no problem playing more than 35 minutes per game. He knew that after Lewis made up for his shortcomings, he would most likely return to the bench, and it would be better to take advantage of this opportunity to play well, maybe he could be looked down upon by the head coach because of this, and it would be good to have a few more minutes of playing time.

After a week of training, Chang Wei found that Lewis's physical strength rating in the system had reached 78. This level does seem a bit mediocre, but you must know that Lewis's physical rating was less than 70 before, which is already a very big improvement, and the physical rating of 78 can support an average of 25 minutes per game.

After receiving Chang Wei's feedback, Brown was a little skeptical, and he was ready to give Lewis 25 minutes of playing time to try it out. This time, the 76ers' opponent is the Bucks, and there is a player on the opponent team who Chang Wei is particularly familiar with, and he is also his first guy to train seriously - Tim Thomas. Although Thomas was picked by the 76ers, Brown didn't particularly like this kind of muscle club, so he urged the team to trade him, and finally Thomas joined the Bucks as he did in his previous life.

Because the 76ers were playing away, Chang Wei specially visited Thomas in advance in his private name. Thomas was very excited about Chang Wei's arrival, and invited him to a good meal out of his pocket, and between the staggering, Chang Wei said his intentions very frankly: "Tim, I hope you can help me teach a guy a lesson in the game......"

Thomas laughed, and he said, "Chang, aren't you a physical assistant for the 76ers?" Is there anyone else in the team who dares to offend you? If you really want to have such a person, you just throw him a training plan with explosive difficulty and it's over! ”

Chang Wei almost squirted out a sip of drink, he coughed for a while, and said angrily, "Where do you want to go?" I have a player with some physical problems now, and I have given him targeted training during this time, but the opponents are not very strong, and even if they have the strength, they don't have the kind of power forward who can defend beyond the three-point line......"

"So you're hoping I can put some pressure on him and let him run more and see if his fitness improves?"

Chang Wei nodded: "That's basically the case, of course, I will ask the head coach to let him start, so that the two of you can be on top." Tim, I want you to do everything you can to improve his range on the pitch. ”

Thomas smiled and asked narrowly, "Don't you need me to release the water?" I can guarantee that no one else will see it! ”

"Forget it, I don't dare to take it if you dare to release the water, if there is no problem, I will go back and tell our head coach."

Thomas also became serious, he thought about it, and said briskly: "No problem, isn't it just chasing the defense?" Even if our head coach doesn't speak, we have to do it, so whoever wins or loses will have their own ability! ”

After getting Thomas, Chang Wei went back and told Brown about it. Brown hesitated and asked, "Isn't it okay to remove Hill from the starting lineup like this?" He's played really well during this period and if he's emotional, it could have an impact on the dressing room. ”

Chang Wei pouted secretly: "Wouldn't it be okay to let Rashad play a fake starter?" If you can withstand it, you will have no problem changing to a real starter. If Hill has any questions, I'll talk to him after the game. ”

As Chang Wei expected, Brown readily agreed, obviously waiting for Chang Wei to jump into the pit by himself. Chang Wei himself could see that this was a pit, but he still jumped down without hesitation, after all, this is a great help to Lewis's future, if he can withstand Thomas's defense, then he can continue to start in the next game.

To Chang Wei's surprise, when Brown directly announced that Lewis was going to start the game against the Bucks, Hill's reaction was not as big as expected, and it could even be said to be calm. This makes Chang Wei very satisfied, because he is a person who is afraid of trouble to a certain extent, and it is great to be able to reduce the pressure of work.

Lewis was a little surprised, he didn't expect to be back in the starting lineup so soon. Seeing his excited appearance, Chang Wei couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water: "Rashad, don't be too happy, let me reveal a message to you, in this game, you will also meet an interior player whose defensive range can reach beyond the three-point line, whether you can ensure the level of physical strength under his persecution, it depends on you." ”
