The reporters certainly had a lot of questions for the Bobcats as a team, but in the end, each of them was given only one chance to ask questions, after all, their interviewees were in a hurry to leave and return to their own turf to celebrate their advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

The uncrowned kings were upset, but the Bobcats' coaches and players weren't going to be considerate of their feelings, and the media couldn't erase their victory anyway. Chang Wei is now extremely glad that he didn't take over the team's handsome seal at the beginning, otherwise he would be the one who is now surrounded by reporters, and it is an alternative enjoyment to stand in the corner and watch others being harassed.

Finally got rid of the "pursuit" of the reporters, and the whole Bobcat team flew back to Charlotte overnight by flight. When the plane landed at Douglas International Airport, it was just dawn, but when the Bobcats players dragged their suitcases out of the airport hall, each of them couldn't believe their eyes.

Some people even rubbed their eyes, thinking that they had hallucinated because they didn't sleep well, but in fact, there were really local Charlotte fans who came to greet them and greet the team that reached the Eastern Conference Finals as dark horses. Chang Wei roughly counted, this fan group that came to pick up the airport is not small, there should be a small number of people, although there is not much cheering for fear of disturbing the people, but the waving banners have already explained the excitement of the fans, and some people still have the logo of the lynx painted on their faces.

In the face of such a formation, everyone felt flattered. After two seasons of hard work, the Bobcats have indeed attracted a lot of fans, after all, their fast offensive and defensive style of play is very pleasing, but except against the big teams, the Bobcats have not sold out tickets for their home games once, in other words, everyone comes here to watch the game more for their opponents.

This is a huge shame for a team because the focus of the fans is not on them. And the North Carolina state where Charlotte is located originally had a stronger atmosphere of college basketball, so Chang Wei thought it was not a good idea to put the team in Charlotte at the beginning, just look at the Bobcats in Charlotte in the past life and the Hornets in the future.

But now, the Bobcats have attracted a group of die-hard fans in Charlotte with their outstanding performances, as evidenced by the fact that fans come to the airport early in the morning to meet them. In Chang Wei's view, if the team can reach the finals or even win the championship, it should attract more fans, but now the team has to do a good job in the Eastern Conference finals step by step.

After returning to the arena, Jackson did not immediately ask the players to disband themselves, but gave an impassioned speech. He found a table, stood on it, waved his arms, and said loudly: "Just now at the airport, I saw a lot of people shocked, yes, I was also surprised, because it was the first time I saw so many fans waiting for us at the airport gate early in the morning. Why is there such a noticeable change in their attitudes? There's only one reason and that's we won the race! ”

"Before the series started, a lot of people thought we were going to end the season, but we gave them a big slap in the face. Since we were able to defeat the knights, why couldn't we take one step further? We've made history every game since we reached the semi-finals, don't you want to go a little further? ”

"Look at the attitude of the fans towards us! If we can occupy an important position in this land, it must be in exchange for victory after victory. No matter who your opponent is, I ask you to give it your all, can you do it? ”

"Yes!" The voices of more than a dozen big men resounded in the arena, and it could be seen that they all wanted to break out of the east and step on the highest stage. Jackson was pleased with the spirit of the players, and he gave everyone a day off to come back tomorrow morning to practice.

Chang Wei also left, he felt that what he needed most now was sleep. In the eyes of the outside world, beating the Cavaliers 4-1 was an easy one for the Bobcats, but only they know how much sweat and hard work went into this 4-1 battle. During the series, it is difficult for the coaching staff to have a break, and staying up late is commonplace, and they have to respond to the Cavaliers' set-up, otherwise how can a group of young people like the Bobcats easily knock out their opponents?

As the team's chief assistant coach, Chang Wei is much more tired than other assistant coaches, not only has to analyze the video with everyone, but also pays attention to the physical and injury conditions of the players, and even psychological problems. Although he and Jackson are good enough to wear a pair of pants, it also means that Jackson is very aware of his abilities, and it makes sense to assign him some extra tasks.

In Jackson's words, you're so awesome, of course, you have to work a little more. Now the team has not fully built its own team, in fact, even if all the positions are full, Jackson will still subconsciously increase the workload for Chang Wei, which is largely due to his trust in his good friend, and he believes that with Chang Wei's ability, everything can be said to be more than enough.

Back in the apartment, Chang Wei took a hasty shower, and then fell asleep, he was rarely disturbed by things on the field in his life, and the quality of sleep was quite high. In Chang Wei's eyes, better rest is to work better, if you can't even guarantee the quality of rest, you can't say whether you are in a state when you get to work, then you will delay the big thing.

Moreover, the other team in the Eastern Conference Finals has not yet been released, and the Pistons and Celtics are in full swing, and anyone could advance. Instead of thinking about it here, it's better to seize the time to replenish your energy and then you can devote yourself to your work. Prepare in advance, what if the person you are preparing for is wrong? The team can't afford to make such a big mistake.

Chang Wei slept until the evening of the same day, and if it wasn't for his hunger, he could have continued to meet with Zhou. After getting up and brushing his teeth and washing his face, Chang Wei ordered himself a bowl of noodles, he was too lazy to order takeout, so it was better to cook some food by himself. Sitting at his desk, Chang Wei was typing on the computer while eating noodles, and he was very interested in the other group of Eastern Conference semifinals. With the Pistons his old club and the Celtics forming the Big Three, it's hard to say who will make the cut.

Emotionally, Chang Wei wants the Pistons to advance, but if the Bobcats want to go further, the Celtics seem to be a better option, even if their defense is epic. Thinking of this, Chang Wei chuckled and shook his head, this is not something he can decide, let's eat the noodles first based on the previous game video!
