After Brown came forward to clarify Snow's "injury", Chang Wei thought that the team's rotation strategy should not be a surprise, but soon someone with a heart saw the clue. Since the 76ers announced before the game against the Cavaliers that Snow was out due to physical discomfort, the 76ers players have been declared unwell for several consecutive games, including Iverson, Lewis and Mutombo, as well as several other major rotation players, have missed the game, and it is strange that these players have been suspended for only one game, and the next game is back on the list, and the one who was put on the inactive list is replaced by another player, which cannot but make people feel suspicious.

For pervasive media reporters, doubt means that there may be a breaking point, and a breaking point means that there is sales, and sales have risen, will their bonuses be far away? ESPN and other media giants sent senior reporters to Philadelphia to find out for the first time, and those small media also began to follow suit, wanting to see if they could drink some soup behind Big Brother, and even the NBA official media also secretly dispatched their teams of reporters, who also wanted to dig up first-hand information.

Fortunately, Brown and Chang Wei did a good job of secrecy, and Chang Wei also unified the voices of the players in advance, when the reporters relied on the relationship established in the past to take something out of the mouths of the 76ers players who had a good personal relationship, but found that everyone was either silent, or he just refused to give an accurate word. In a hurry, they threw out a phrase "You can ask our manager", and then smeared the soles of their feet with oil.

But the more this happens, the more it motivates the journalists, who seem to have the same arguments, which in itself is a huge flaw. Although they didn't get any news for several days, they all tirelessly roamed around the 76ers' training gym, after all, it was closely related to their bonuses, and who wouldn't want to stuff more small money into their wallets? Even for the sake of green Franklin, you have to persevere!

As the saying goes, hard work pays off, and after a week-long in-depth investigation, a reporter finally dug up a piece of fierce information, no, strictly speaking, just a sentence: "All the players who did not play in the previous games are in very good shape." "As for who said that, does it matter? We still have to protect our informants, anyway, we know that there are 76 internal staff who broke out such a sentence, and then they can use this sentence to get to the bottom of it.

With a definite direction, the next investigation was relatively simple, and soon a number of media outlets revealed on their websites that the 76ers deliberately arranged for players with no injuries to take a break just to achieve better results in the playoffs, which is irresponsible to the majority of fans and broadcasters......

"Bang!" Brown slapped the table hard and shouted, "Who told the media about this?" Well? Don't you know what kind of virtue these journalists are? Usually we have to pick bones in eggs when there is no topic, and now we still send knives to others ourselves? ”

The old man was really angry, and he wasn't angry with Chang Wei, who made this suggestion in the first place. In fact, during this time, he has deeply realized the benefits of rotation, and the players under his command have not only not experienced a decline in form due to rotation, but have become more energetic. In such a stressful time, it is very important for the players to have a precious rest time, not only physically, but also mentally, which is more conducive to the playoffs.

But now that someone has privately revealed the real situation to the media, can the old man not be angry? This is simply dismantling your own stage!

Chang Wei hurriedly smoothed him out and whispered: "Coach, the most important thing now is not to find the back-bearer, but to eliminate the influence of the media invisibly!" Otherwise, with the current style of the media listening to the wind and rain, we will not be able to prepare for the war at all, who can calm down such an atmosphere? ”

Brown reluctantly said, "Well, I'll let the PR department issue a press conference later, and I'll explain it to the reporters myself." ”

Chang Wei smiled: "Tomorrow is the home game against the SuperSonics, and you still need to keep an eye on everyone to train!" Again, I made the suggestion, and if you don't mind and the management doesn't object, I'd like me to be present at this press conference on your behalf, but I'll need to borrow Eric to use it. ”

After struggling for a long time, Brown waved his hand and said, "Okay, Chang, I hope you can control the press conference, don't give reporters a new mouth......

With Brown's permission, the management didn't have anything else to say, so the next day at the 76ers' press conference, reporters were surprised to see Chang Wei appear on the rostrum, still sitting in the middle position, and next to him was the team captain Snow. Although it is strange that Brown did not show up, at least the 76ers have someone who can speak to show up to explain the rotation, and Chang Wei brushed his face fiercely during the All-Star weekend, and it was still hot at this time.

"Mr. Chang, is it true that the main players are resting in rotation? And also when they don't have any injuries at all. ”

"Mr. Chang, it is said that you are resting players to prepare for the playoffs, don't you think this is very sorry for the fans who bought tickets to watch the game live?"

"Mr. Chang......"

After the public relations manager signaled the start of the press conference, the conference room immediately turned into a vegetable market, and everyone was eager to know the answer to their questions, so they didn't care about the rules of raising their hands to ask questions, and asked directly. Chang Wei only felt that his ears were full of "buzzing" sounds, but he still heard a few questions a little clearly, and basically everyone's questions were focused on the purpose and negative impact of the rest players. This is normal, there is indeed no head coach who has tried a large-scale rotation for non-injury reasons before this, and the 76ers are undoubtedly the first team to eat crabs, but for things that do not make sense, everyone's first reaction is naturally to question.

Chang Wei didn't say a word, just sat on the chair and looked at the reporters below with a smile, not at all in a hurry. Snow looked even more sleepy, as if he gave him a pillow and he would fall asleep immediately. Seeing Chang Wei's performance, the scene quickly quieted down, and every reporter stretched out his hand holding the microphone, waiting for Chang Wei to answer his questions.
