Chang Wei is very glad that he is not a head coach, let alone a star, so he does not need to make some disguises when he travels, but can travel to various places in the United States with Harmon generously. The 76ers won the championship and the team owner was very generous in giving each member a large amount of bonuses, which was more than enough to cover the cost of the trip.

Basically, this is the only time of the year that Chang Wei will stay away from basketball, the NBA season is over, the NCAA ended earlier, and now he can't find a basketball game to watch, unless he is willing to go to New York to see their street basketball. However, in fact, although the overlords of the street ball world can abuse the NBA stars on the streets, they are not suitable for professional basketball, because they are more inclined to play alone than pursue cooperation with teammates, and they are difficult to become the league's top scorers and solo maniacs, so their solo fighting is unbearable for any head coach.

So this trip has nothing to do with basketball at all, Chang Wei and Harmon have traveled almost all over the famous cities and attractions in the United States. Originally, Chang Wei hoped that his parents would come to the United States to play again, but when Hao Sufen knew that Chang Wei was accompanying his girlfriend, he forcibly suppressed his wife who wanted to go out for a walk, and let Chang Wei and Harmon have a pleasant vacation.

Every holiday goes by quickly, and this one was no exception, and a few days after Chang Wei returned to Philadelphia, he received a notice from Brown, who asked all members of the coaching staff to come to the conference room for a pre-season preparation meeting, and the main topics were offseason reinforcements and draft goals. Of course, the first person he informed was Chang Wei, although Mason's performance last season was very average, but whether it was Reed, Lewis or Mutombo have proved that he has an eye for people, this time Brown hopes that Chang Wei will continue to make substantive suggestions to indicate the exact target for the team's offseason recruitment, so that he can save a lot of trouble.

When Chang Wei walked into the conference room, everyone looked at him expectantly, including head coach Brown and scouting manager Francis. Chang Wei knew what they meant, but he still jokingly said, "What's wrong?" Do I have flowers on my face? If not, why are you all looking at me like that? I'm going to feel nervous about it......"

Everyone laughed, originally some people were still a little sour towards Chang Wei in their hearts, but now his witty words have melted away the negative thoughts in their hearts very well. Brown nodded at him and said with a smile: "Chang, everyone already knows your vision, so we all want to hear your suggestions for our team's offseason reinforcements, just like you did last summer." ”

Francis also said: "I admire you, often, and I couldn't believe it when Brown told me that you suggested Michael." To be honest, I've been a scout for years, but this time I was blindsided, and I didn't expect you to pick such a guy from the second-round show, although the league finally gave the FMVP to Allen, but he deserves this award more. ”

Chang Wei bowed to everyone and said with a smile: "Thank you very much for your trust in me, I think we must list our needs first, and then go to find trading targets." It's likely that I'm missing out on my own ideas, so I hope you can help me fill in the gaps and help the team become stronger and win a few more championships. ”

Then Chang Wei said his thoughts, in fact, the direction of the team's reinforcement is almost the same as last year, both inside and on the bench, but soon someone asked: "Chang, Deacbe played very well last season, I remember his statistics are 12.3 points, 11.1 rebounds and 2.3 blocks, right?" Why do we need to eat a center? ”

Chang Wei shook his head and said to him: "Jim, the specific reason is difficult to explain, I can only tell you that through my observations, Deacon Bay is in the process of declining, and he has ...... this year Hell, God knows exactly how old he is this year, and we can't always count on him to help us protect the basket, so we need a younger insider. ”

The coach who was called Jim by Chang Wei lowered his head and thought about it, and nodded at Chang Wei, Mutombo's age is indeed a problem, although he performed well last season, but no one can guarantee his state this season, and it is safer to bring in a center.

Brown thought for a moment and added: "If I could, I would like to strengthen the defensive quality of the bench, especially at the back and on the wings, George is also a pure defensive player, but in my opinion, it is not ...... enough"

Chang Wei smiled helplessly, although the 76ers relied on offense to win most of the time last season, and used a pure offensive lineup like three guards in the finals, but Brown is still a defensive head coach in his bones, which can be seen from his courage to replace Lewis with Bell in the tie-break, he would rather sacrifice an offensive player who averages 15+ points per game to pull the team's defense up, and it seems normal to suggest the introduction of defenders at this time.

After the unanimous opinion, everyone began to discuss the right candidates, of course, many of the names reported are those well-known role players, after all, the 76ers don't have much leverage to bring in another star. Although they can directly dismantle the championship squad, this is not what the team management wants to see, and Brown does not want a huge upheaval in his team, and it is their first choice to strengthen at the minimum cost, but if they really need to pay a certain price, they will also weigh it to see if what they get can make up for what they have lost, everything is for the purpose of reinforcement.

After Brown jotted down several names, the conversation began again about this year's draft, and Francis handed out a stack of materials to each of them as a basis for their judgment. However, everyone's motivation is not very high, and the 76ers did not have a good draft pick this year, and they think it will be difficult to pick the right players at the end of the first round and the middle of the second round, just like they did last year.

Someone raised their hand and asked, "Coach, can we package draft picks up for trade?" ”

Brown said with a wry smile: "Unless you're sure that player deserves a pick, you should keep it up and you know, for our dear general manager, draft picks are better traded for players." ”

Thinking of what Billy King did in the Nets in his previous life, Chang Wei also shook his head secretly, fortunately, the team's head coach is Brown, and he is still relatively tough when he recruits him, otherwise he is really afraid that Billy King will make a human tragedy.
