Arenas seemed to have changed a lot, and over the next few days, he asked for one-on-one sessions with Mutombo every day, and his performances on the pitch got better and better. Chang Wei didn't believe that a person could make a change in such a short period of time, but Arenas really didn't seem to be affected by his emotions anymore, which also made Mutombo feel a lot of pressure.

Chang Wei didn't plan to explore what Arenas was thinking, as long as the players could behave normally on the field, it didn't matter what their mental activities were. So Chang Wei is actually a resultalist person, as long as he can win the game, he doesn't care what the players do, just conform to the rules of basketball.

Brown had also heard about Arenas' performance in training, which surprised him, and at the same time deepened his trust in Chang Wei. Brown wouldn't mind giving Arenas unlimited firing rights if he could continue to play like this, but if it was just a flash in the pan, then Arenas wouldn't get more playing time.

After more than a month of training, Arenas finally ushered in the team's training camp, as last season's championship team, the 76ers did not have any players organize mini-training camps this year, gathering teammates in advance for training, after all, everyone wants more time to rest. So this training camp is the first time that the 76ers have all arrived, and the players who suffered injuries last season have also returned from injury, which means they will play the new season with a full roster. In fact, since Chang Wei joined, the core players of the 76ers have been difficult to be plagued by major injuries, which is their biggest hidden advantage.

To Brown's satisfaction, almost every player is in good shape, and it is clear that everyone did not eat and drink during the holidays, and even maintained good exercise habits. It's also an advantage for young teams, and if it's a team of older players, then a championship is enough to feed them, and they won't be hungry for the O'Brien Cup as they are now. But young teams also have their own shortcomings, so it's up to you, after all, any team has its own shortcomings.

After the fitness test, Brown clapped his hands to get the players to focus on themselves and then exclaimed, "Let's have a five-on-five match today, and hopefully everyone has enough energy." Of course, considering that this is the first day of training camp, this match is only 40 minutes long, the red side is our main team last season, and the blue side is the substitute, but this is not set in stone, and if you perform well, the substitutes may not be promoted to the starting line-up! ”

Brown's words made the eyes of the substitutes change, although it is difficult to defeat the main team, but it is not completely impossible, if you can squeeze into the starting lineup, wouldn't it be a proper step to the peak of life to marry Bai Fumei?

According to the previous consensus reached by the coaching staff, the team's starting center at the beginning of the season is still Mutombo, so this time the red side is still Iverson, Reed, Bale, Lewis and Mutombo, and the blue side is Snow, Arenas, Lynch, Teylon Hill and Dareham Porter. In fact, the advantage of the blue side is still obvious, because there is no limit to the number of substitutions they can make, while the red side can only change three times, which means that they can completely rely on their physical strength to defeat their opponents.

But is it really that simple? If it were that simple, the Lakers wouldn't have lost a championship.

Brown didn't coach the red side, they have been working together for a whole season, and even won the championship, so they are familiar with tactics. But the blue side is a completely unused lineup, fortunately there are three veterans in the lineup, especially Snow, who can be said to be the best playmaker in the whole team, and at least the team's offense will not have too many problems. Originally, Snow's idea was to play an overall attack, but Brown came over and whispered to him: "I hope you can focus on Gilbert, and if you do well, I can give him unlimited fire." ”

Snow looked at Brown in shock, who only smiled and said nothing. Brown only knew a thing or two from Chang Wei's report before, but he didn't really feel the strength of Arenas, so in this match, in addition to observing whether Durham Porter can take on the responsibility of starting center, is to see whether Arenas has made any changes.

In order to courtesy the rookies, the match did not jump the ball, but served directly from the blue baseline. After Snow received the ball, he smoothly carried the ball to the front court, and before Iverson could press it, he passed the ball to Arenas on the weak side with a flick of his hand. Arenas was completely unprepared for Snow's pass, and he almost made a mistake in his hurry, and he glanced at Snow suspiciously, who nodded at him, signaling that he would be able to attack with the ball in this round.

It's still pretty easy for Arenas, because Reed, who is opposite him, is known for his offense and his defense is just average. But Arenas has fully learned the lesson of his previous one-on-one with Mutombo, and instead of underestimating Reed, who is currently in full swing, he is ready to use all his skills to break through the opponent's defense. Unsurprisingly, Reed had no way to force Arenas' penetration, and in a flash of lightning, Arenas burst straight to the left and was squeezed behind him.

Lewis rushed over to help defend the defense, but before he could arrive, Arenas opened the scoring for the blue side with a small throw. Brown stood on the sidelines and didn't say anything at all, Arenas' goal was deserved, it wasn't worth marveling at at all, he just wanted to see if Arenas had changed anything from the original trial.

But Brown soon fell into doubt, in fact, not only he was puzzled, Chang Wei was also very puzzled. Arenas didn't choose to pass the ball every time he singled, but he was very good at timing, basically only one defender in front of him, and never put himself in a disadvantageous situation. This made Chang Wei feel very painful, he didn't know if Arenas's transformation was good or bad, now it is obvious that he has improved his scoring ability, but everyone expects him to show good passing ability, but unfortunately Arenas did not let everyone on the sidelines get their wish.

But Chang Wei quickly figured it out, if you don't pass the ball, don't pass the ball, anyway, the positioning of Arenas is a bench scorer, if he can successfully send the ball into the basket every time, what does it matter if he doesn't pass?
