Chapter 494: Heart-to-Heart Talk
After the photo shoot and the media day, the Bobcats players were ready to go to the training camp. This is one of the reasons why Chang Wei likes to pick young people, they have not won enough accolades, they are hungry for victory, in other words, they are also very serious about training, and there is no need to worry about their enthusiasm at all.
However, Chang Wei's face is still a little solemn, he knows that these players he selects can grow into good role players and even cores in the future, but there is one person he is not sure about, that is, Milicic, who is regarded by him as the starting center. In his previous life, this guy had no highlights in his entire career, and finally returned to Europe as a farmer, Chang Wei believed that he still had potential, but Milicic never cashed in, so he didn't know what level Milicic was at in full form.
Milicic was chosen because Chang Wei insisted that he was not useless, but that he had joined the wrong team in his previous life and played under a manager who was not suitable for him. In any case, as a big man who has grown up in the atmosphere of European basketball, shooting is a must-have skill, which is another reason why Chang Wei thinks Milicic is a good fit for the Bobcats.
But how to let Milicic give full play to his ability is the most important problem to be solved, after discussing with Jackson, Chang Wei decided to conduct special training for Milicic, he believes that this guy who may have been delayed in his previous life should be able to show his due strength. Even if Milicic can't do it, you can see it in one season, and when the time comes, you can change someone.
Chang Wei is confident in his vision, but he is not arrogant to think that the Bobcats will win the championship immediately, and in his opinion, it is a good deal to see Milicic's talent clearly in one season, and maybe there is still something to be earned!
On the first day of the training camp, everyone showed up in the training hall on time, of course, the first thing was a detailed physical examination, which will become the basis for the coaching team to formulate a training plan. After everyone had completed their medical exams, Jackson began to officially issue his first directive as head coach: "For players, fitness is the foundation of all tactics, so we will start with fitness in today's training. But then he looked at Milicic at the back of the team and said, "Darko, you don't have to do it yet." ”
The players were in an uproar, and there was some pity in their eyes when they looked at Milicic. Milicic clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his forehead bulged, and just as he was about to protest, a clear voice sounded behind everyone: "Darko, I want you to follow me for special training, this is also my decision after discussing with the coach." ”
Milicic turned around, his surprised expression couldn't be hidden, he didn't expect that Jackson didn't let him train with the team because Chang Wei wanted to train him. Since entering the NBA in 2003, Milicic has heard Chang Wei's name from friends from time to time, and he knows that this young Chinese is the best trainer in the league, not even one, any player who has followed his special training is simply reborn, is it now such a good thing to fall on his head?
Jackson took the others to training, leaving Chang Wei and Milicic in place. Just as Milicic was about to go to training, Chang Wei stopped him and said lightly: "Darko, I think we'd better talk first." Saying that, Chang Wei dragged a chair from the side and sat down with a big sting, Milicic was stunned for a moment, and sat down with him.
Looking at Milicic's restrained appearance, Chang Wei smiled and said, "Relax, Darko, if I don't believe you, I won't put you on the list." I just want to know, what do you think about what you've been going through over the past three seasons? ”
Milicic shook his head and whispered, "I don't have any opinion, maybe I'm just a guy with no talent......"
"No, you're wrong!" Chang Wei said loudly, "I don't believe that so many scouts will look away. Nelson Sr. even thinks that your size, physique, speed, dexterity and strength are the best choices, and that to be in the top five in the 2003 draft, you must have enough talent, and what you lack is just room to play to it. ”
Listening to Chang Wei's words, Milicic smiled self-deprecatingly: "What's the use of giving me a chance? I'm all gone. The one they saw at the beginning was not the real me at all, but now this is, and I know my talent. ”
"Daktronic, your skills are so much needed by us, otherwise why do you think I'd single you out? As a European player, you shouldn't have lost the basic skill of shooting, right? That's what I needed the most, which is why I chose Sharif as your interior partner. I'd love to see you hitting long shots on the field. Chang Wei said sincerely.
"Shooting...... Is it? Milicic muttered to himself, his mind returning to Europe a few years ago. At that time, he was so beautiful, whether it was inside footwork or outside shooting, the opponent was helpless, and his strong physical fitness could even support him to jump from the free throw line to dunk, although he was very young, but he was already considered the next superstar.
However, after entering the NBA, he felt extremely uncomfortable, whether it was the team's tactical system or the head coach's use of him, he was constrained, how could he play the outstanding performance in Europe that year? Three seasons was enough for Milicic to lose faith in himself, and now he finds himself at a turning point in his career.
He looked at Chang Wei in a daze and said, "Chang, are you really willing to believe me?" Do you really think I'm still saved? ”
Chang Wei shook his head and said: "In my opinion, any player who has the ability to enter the NBA is very talented, the only difference is only the level of talent. It's up to you whether you can save it or not, and if you can do the training plan that I've put in place, you'll be able to go back to the level you used to do in Europe. But if you can't......"
Milicic excitedly interrupted Chang Wei's words: "No problem, please believe me, I will be able to do it!" I'm tired of sitting on the bench every game and it's hard to contribute even if I'm on the pitch, I'm going to get better and I'm going to prove that I'm still the genius I was when I was at the beginning! I'm going to keep training no matter how hard it is, but I also want to get enough minutes so I can show my results on the field, don't I? ”
