Chapter 399: Masked Man's Troubles

Compared to last season, there are not many newcomers to the Pistons this offseason, but they are all very important, after all, according to Brown's idea, Billups, Hamilton and Thomas are to be put in the starting lineup, as for whether Prince should be directly promoted to the starting lineup, he still needs to be tested through training camp, of course, Simmons can also be on top.

Many people are extremely excited to join the Pistons as a playoff team, such as Billups, who believes that coming to Detroit can make him stronger, and Thomas is glad that he can train under Chang Wei again, not to mention Prince, for a rookie in the second half of the first round, the Pistons' growth environment is already quite good.

But not all new signings are looking forward to the new season, and Hamilton, who is being used as a trade chip, is upset because he is reluctant to leave the Wizards, but the team uses him as a major trade chip in order to get Starkerhouse.

In fact, Hamilton's mentality is very normal, because he has shown growth beyond normal standards in the Wizards, and he averaged 20 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game last season, making him the team's second-leading scorer behind Jordan. Jordan has helped Hamilton a lot since his comeback, and he has been urging Hamilton to improve his skills in all aspects, especially defensively, to improve his game, and head coach Collins has asked Hamilton to improve on the offensive end. It was only at the request of the two of them that Hamilton finally established himself with the Wizards and became a pivotal figure on the team.

However, he has now been traded to the Pistons, and Hamilton is very confused about the future, he doesn't know if he can get the status he used to be here, or even if he can continue to improve. So after reporting to the Pistons, Hamilton was silent all day long, although he was able to successfully complete everything Brown asked him to do, but with a little care, you can detect his attitude, he just completes the task step by step, instead of loving the team from the bottom of his heart.

Brown felt helpless about Hamilton's form, and he valued Hamilton's active running and strong catch-and-shoot ability on the court, and it can be said that he is a very important part of the Pistons' tactical system. However, Hamilton's mind is now on the outside of the team, which will obviously have a huge impact on Brown's team-building thinking and tactical set-up.

Naturally, Brown thought of Chang Wei again, after all, when he was with the 76ers, Chang Wei's work included psychological counseling for players, which also made the team less involved in the expenditure of a psychiatrist, at least not to hire a full-time psychologist. Although he is now in the Pistons, Brown still habitually gives the task to Chang Wei, in his opinion, as long as Chang Wei is out, there is nothing that cannot be done, and Chang Wei has proved this with his actions in the previous two seasons.

Chang Wei, who was dumped by the head coach again, felt very helpless, after all, the team would not give him double his salary. Fortunately, Chang Wei is not such a calculating person, and it is much more interesting for him to get the best out of the team than to get a higher salary for himself, and as a reborn, he knows how to convince Hamilton.

Chang Wei knew very well what Hamilton's knot was, and in order to improve his persuasiveness, he deliberately brought Thomas, whose upbringing can be used as a reference for Hamilton. Of course, if Hamilton still had doubts about this, Chang Wei could have asked Maddie to come over and say something, and he really did such a thing.

Hamilton was surprised to see Chang Wei and Thomas visiting together, he had been in Detroit for a few days, and he had dealt with two visitors, but it would be a lie to say that there was any deep friendship. Still, Hamilton graciously invited them in to sit down, while he was by his side, knowing that there was a reason for their sudden visit.

As soon as he sat down, Chang Wei said bluntly: "Richard, to tell you the truth, it was Coach Brown who asked me to come and see you, he knows that you are not in a very good mood these days, and I hope I can help you solve the entanglement in your heart." ”

Hamilton was stunned for a moment and disguised: "No...... It's nothing, I guess the coach guessed wrong, right? I'm doing well here, both the coaching staff and my team-mates are good, and I want to do my best to help the team......"

Looking at Hamilton's restrained appearance, Chang Wei couldn't help laughing, he said: "Don't lie to yourself Richard, it's not that we can't tolerate other voices here, if you have any concerns, please be sure to tell us openly, this will have a great impact on your prospects in the team in the future, I hope you can be honest with me, okay?" ”

Perhaps sensing Chang Wei's kindness, Hamilton hesitated for a moment and said his inner thoughts as they were. Chang Wei was already clear in his heart, and before he could speak, Thomas's eyes widened and he shouted incredulously: "God, Richard, you actually think that you may not be able to get the same speed of improvement here as before?" I use my own personal experience to assure you that as long as you are always present, it is not a problem to improve your strength through training at all! ”

Then Thomas told Hamilton in detail what Chang Wei had done in Villanova, and his words were full of admiration and admiration for Chang Wei. Hamilton listened to Thomas talk about his upbringing, and from time to time he looked at Chang Wei with amazement, which was simply incredible! This nonchalant Asian in front of him can't be the embodiment of God, right? Will he really be able to dramatically improve the quality of his players through his own exclusive training program?

Hamilton couldn't believe it, but there didn't seem to be anything flawed in what Thomas said. And now that the trade has become a foregone conclusion, whether he wants to or not, he will play for the Pistons in the next few seasons, if Chang Wei is really as magical as Thomas said, then joining the Pistons is a good thing, if not, it is okay to leave after the contract expires.

Chang Wei hurriedly added another fire: "Tim has just said about the training thing, as for the status of the team, you don't have to worry at all, the position of the starting scoring guard must be yours, and the coach is also formulating new tactics for the team with you as the core, so you need a sense of identity, so as to maximize your ability." ”

However, Chang Wei quickly thought again, if Wade is selected next year, what will Hamilton do?
