Chapter 326: Starting Center

Although Arenas's emotions were calmed by Chang Wei, some of his previous whining and strange words still caused a lot of impact in the locker room, starting with the greatly increased playing time of Dalem Porter. Fortunately, the Haitian center forward has a simple and honest personality, otherwise he would really be able to go up and fight with Arenas, after all, no one wants to be the protagonist of a whining talk.

However, the increase in playing time is not up to Hellam Potter himself, it is only about Brown's thoughts, and since the manager has spoken, others can only follow the arrangement even if they are not satisfied. But it also makes Adam Potter feel like a chicken in every training session, and he's hell-bent on proving that he's definitely capable of taking on more responsibility.

In addition, Captain Snow also instructed him privately and asked him to find Chang Wei for special training. Dareham Porter was not interested in media coverage, so he naturally didn't know that Chang Wei was someone who even new stars like Maddie and Brand had to be sincerely thanked. But he knew that Snow would not deceive himself, and since he said that Chang Wei could greatly improve his strength, it was not too far off.

When Durham Potter came to the door after training, Chang Wei was not surprised. In his previous life, Bulham Porter was a hard-working player, but this does not mean that he is not motivated, in fact he is still a very hard-working player, otherwise it would not be possible to reach the level of an average of two doubles per game, and at the same time get an annual salary of tens of millions.

Looking at Dalham Potter, who was still a little restrained, Chang Wei smiled and asked, "Samuel, what kind of training do you want to do?" If you have an idea of your own, just let me know and I'll create a suitable training plan for you. ”

Dareham Potter scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I don't know, Chang, what do you think I need to improve?" I wanted to be the starting center and help the team win the championship, but I didn't know what to do. ”

Chang Wei mused: "As you can see, there is no shortage of scorers in our team, but that doesn't mean you don't need to improve your scoring ability. On top of that, we need strong rebounders and interior barriers, and in my opinion those are areas that you need to improve. Samuel, you're talented, but talent alone isn't enough to be a good centre-forward. ”

Daelhampoon nodded and said, "I understand, so please help me make a plan, and I'll try to get it done!" ”

Chang Wei smiled: "I am very optimistic about you, Deacon Beybe's age is not young, and now it is difficult for him to withstand the impact of the opponent on the inside, so I hope you can grow up as soon as possible and take over the position of the team's starting center." ”

Chang Wei then made an appointment with Durham Potter for additional training and began to develop a special training plan for him. According to Chang Wei's idea, Dalham Porter does not need to practice three-point shooting, and it is enough for the team to have an anti-aircraft gun like Oku, and what he needs to strengthen is what Chang Wei mentioned when the two chatted: mid-range shooting, rebounding and defense.

In Chang Wei's view, in addition to improving his blocking ability, it is also important to keep up with the movement speed of small players. If the opponent uses pick-and-roll tactics, then Dareham Porter will have to face the opponent's assaulter, and if he can't keep up with the movement, the basket will be wide open and he can only watch the opponent score a layup.

For the starting center of the 76ers, it is enough to do these points, there are many attackers in the team, and there are many outside gates, the center only needs to do his part, there is no need to interfere in some other things, those naturally have professionals to do, he just needs to guard the one acre of three-point land under the basket.

When Chang Wei handed over the training plan to Dareham Potter, his eyes widened in horror. Yes, only horror can express Dareham Potter's mood at this moment, he is holding this training plan of dozens of pages with a confused expression, is this really just a training plan? You're not going to bring you the playbook from your office, are you?

Looking at Dale Potter's expression, Chang Wei smiled: "This training plan is the most suitable for you in my opinion, if you can stick to it, I believe your strength will improve significantly." Chang Wei patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Samuel, you will take the place of Deacon Bey, our whole team needs your contribution." ”

Once he had his training plan, Durham Porter didn't hesitate to start practicing after each training session according to the items listed in the plan. Of course, Chang Wei would not let him train stupidly alone, but still gave him some help within his ability, such as giving him a bottle of magic drink every day or something. The 76ers are physically fit and most of them can work out as planned, with the exception of Hellam Porter. To some extent, Chang Wei is helping to grow seedlings, so he took out the magic drink that he hadn't used for a long time and gave it to Dareham Potter to use, so as to prevent him from affecting the state of the game due to overtraining.

Brown also knew about Durham Potter going to Chang Wei for practice, and he was approving about such behavior. Other coaches may worry about players working too hard and affecting their own form, but Brown has never had such a worry, because he knows that Chang Wei will balance the two well and not let the players suffer.

Thanks to Chang Wei's extra training, Durham Porter's performance in the team's training sessions has been getting better and better, and Mutombo has struggled to limit his play on the inside. Iverson, on the other hand, felt even more deeply, whenever he broke through to the basket and was ready to shoot, Durham Porter always made him feel awkward, completely lacking the smoothness and sharpness of the past. Although Delham Porter doesn't always fan his layup out of the boundary, interfering with it and causing the shot to hit the iron is perfectly fine.

Brown doesn't say anything, but in his heart he is getting more and more satisfied with Hellam Potter, and the playing time he is giving him is slowly but steadily increasing. It's true that Brown isn't a player who likes to use rookies, but Mutombo is out of form and can't take on more responsibilities, and Durham Porter does play well in his limited playing time. Soon Dareham Porter's playing time has increased to more than 20 minutes, and his personal data has stabilized at around 13+8.

This performance has won over Brown, and the boss has decided to make Delham Porter the team's starting center as soon as possible.
