Chapter 213: Famous

As the MVP of the new All-Star Game, Maddie was inevitably popular with the host and major media. There is no way, he has a gorgeous style of play, and he has a first-class level in the league at both offensive and defensive ends, and Chang Wei did not let Maddie give up the dry pull-up jump shot that he was good at, but helped him polish this technique intentionally or unintentionally. With a long body, beautiful hands, and all-round skills, Maddie can be said to be a new star in the league now, and his popularity is even higher than that of his cousin Carter.

The reporter who grabbed the front was naturally the official mouthpiece NBA TV, and ESPN and CBS had to step aside first, and the beautiful reporter excitedly asked a very common and common question that even made people a little unwilling to answer: "How do you feel about winning the All-Star Game MVP this time?" ”

Although the question is stupid, Maddie is not impatient at all, and it is not an honorable thing to throw a rookie's face. He took the other microphone and said with a smile: "To be honest, I was surprised because there were a lot of people on our team who played better than me, and even if I did something to the team's victory in the fourth quarter, it was because of my teammates. For example, Mutombo, he is more important on the defensive end than me, without him under the basket as the last barrier for the whole team, we should not be so easy to win the game, maybe I didn't get the MVP because I am an offensive player, right? ”

Maddie's humility naturally made many people feel good, of course, including the beautiful reporter in front of her who was already cautious in her eyes, she smiled and asked: "Coach Brown sacrificed high-intensity defense in the fourth quarter that many of us didn't expect, but it seems that you and Mutombo are the fastest players to get into shape, and even surpass the AI who is already playing for the 76ers, is there any secret in this?" If it's convenient, can you tell us about it? ”

"While I can attribute this to my ability to adjust, I have to say that I knew long before the game that Coach Brown was going to ask us to increase our defensive intensity at some point in the game." Maddy's first words surprised the vast majority of the fans in the stadium, "That's why I was able to react to Coach Brown's instructions and help the team with my individual strength, and this MVP is not my credit alone." ”

"If you look at the 1999 draft, you know that I thanked someone after I was drafted, and yes, I'm going to continue to thank him today, not only because he gave me some information before the game, but also because I had a lot of help from him throughout my upbringing. If it weren't for his push to sharpen my defense while improving my offensive firepower, I would have been a pure finisher instead of being as versatile as I am now. ”

"To put it bluntly, even if I was just an offensive player, people would have drafted me as an All-Star, but I would never play such an important role in this game, and I certainly wouldn't have a chance to win the All-Star Game MVP. I know that Lewis of the 76ers at the three-point contest yesterday also thanked him, but I still want to say: thank you, Chang, without you, I would not be where I am today, and you have a share of this All-Star Game MVP trophy! ”

The content of Maddie's interview has not been revealed to anyone, so even Brown didn't know that he would say such a thing in front of the cameras on NBA TV, which was simply a naked advertisement for Chang Wei! In fact, since the 1999 draft, the name Chang Wei has quickly disappeared from people's sight, largely because of his profession, after all, it is difficult for a physical assistant coach to stay in the eyes of the mainstream media for a long time. Coupled with Chang Wei's choice of a school with such a bad reputation as the University of Colorado, there are even fewer reporters willing to interview about him.

Although Colorado won the NCAA championship last year, the mainstream view is that they were lucky not to meet particularly strong opponents, and some believe that the school has a unique eye for selecting players, and David West and Kyle Korver are two gems they have unearthed and have the strength of the lottery to participate in the draft. But almost no one knows that it's almost all the credit of Chang Wei, who pushed the team to win West and Korver, and trained them to become top NCAA players, and although Colorado State will struggle to win another championship this season, their performance is guaranteed.

In addition, Chang Wei's credit for the 76ers was also ignored by the media, or they didn't dig so deep into the material. In fact, this season, the 76ers can ride the dust in the East, in addition to the three players and Brown, Chang Wei has also made a huge contribution, at least the 76ers' players have been further improved under his training, not to mention Lewis, no one thought that such a non-mainstream power forward could become a starter, and he played very well.

This time, Maddie's speech once again pushed Chang Wei out, so that the latter, who was watching the game on the sidelines, could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Looking at her boyfriend's tangled look, Harmon asked strangely, "Chang, isn't this a good thing?" T-MAC doesn't just advertise in public. ”

Chang Wei shrugged: "You know I'm a person who is afraid of trouble, Tracy said this, it's no wonder that other teams don't come to the door!" But now I just want to do my job in Philadelphia and help the 76ers win a championship, and I don't want to think about anything else right now. ”

Harmon smiled and said, "That said, you can't stay in the 76ers for the rest of your life, right?" Every team has its own peaks and lows! If the 76ers start to mess up one day in the future, you're going to stay in Philadelphia and train the rookies on one-year contracts? ”

Chang Wei thought to himself: If it were a previous life, people would not only start to mess up, but also put it in one breath for many years! But he still said: "I know what you mean, isn't it just for me to brush my face more now so that I can have the opportunity to work in other teams in the future?" But it seems to be fun to help a team start a rebuild......" Seeing that his girlfriend was about to lose his temper, Chang Wei hurriedly raised his hand and surrendered: "Okay, okay, I'm joking, at least it's not a bad thing for other people to help me make a name, Yesterday Rashad made an advertisement for me, and Ray Allen plans to let me guide him in training this summer......"
