Winning one championship is exciting, two championships are calm, and three championships are numbness.

Chang Wei had a numb feeling right now, it was a piece of cake to continue to add young geniuses to the pistons to replace the old ones with his vision, but he didn't find it challenging anymore. While other teams are hiring every summer, the Pistons' dominance in the league is hard to shake, and three consecutive championships are a testament to their quality.

As a result, Brown is even more reluctant to let Chang Wei go, and for the veteran coach who is over 70 years old, the remaining time in his coaching career is not too long, and he does not have the heart to re-lead a team, which will make him feel unbearable. So now his biggest wish is for the Pistons to continue to maintain their status as the Eastern giants, even if they can't win the championship again, he admits it.

After the end of the 05-06 season, Chang Wei submitted his resignation to Brown more than once, but the old coach suppressed it completely without negotiation, and talked to Chang Wei many times. Therefore, Chang Wei also understands his thoughts very well, and if there are no surprises, he basically intends to assist Brown through the last few seasons of his coaching career, and it is not too late to change teams by then.

Of course, Chang Wei has not been idle in the past few years, with the permission of both families, he and Harmon finally entered the palace of marriage, but both of them are still on the rise in their careers, and Harmon has no plans to retire for the time being, so the matter of having a child has been postponed indefinitely. In addition, Chang Wei receives a lot of admiring players in Detroit every summer, which are all looking for him for special training, not to mention the two old customers of Ray Allen and Yao Ming, such as Parker, James and Bosh and others have also hooked up with Chang Wei through various relationships, hoping to get the guidance of this "Oriental magician".

For this group of guys, Chang Wei basically has the mentality of one sheep or two sheep, and with the help of the system, he formulated the most suitable training plan for them. Brown never asked about Chang Wei's "private work", anyway, now that the Pistons have established a new dynasty, even if these players come to Chang Wei for training, they can't change the situation.

Interestingly, Yao Ming also deliberately probed Chang Wei's tone in private, in his opinion, as long as Chang Wei is willing to join the coaching staff of the Chinese men's basketball team, both the World Championships and the Olympics will have the opportunity to achieve better results. But Chang Wei, who knew everything, only asked him one question: "Are you sending an invitation on behalf of the Chinese Basketball Association, or are you your personal thoughts?" ”

This question left Yao Ming speechless. He is indeed the well-deserved core of the Chinese men's basketball team now, but it is not easy to recommend others to the coaching staff, those bureaucrats may not buy Chang Wei's account, as long as there is an opportunity, they will definitely arrange their own people, why bother to invite an assistant coach from the United States who is said to be passable? Even if he is really a Chinese.

Chang Wei is not unwilling to contribute to the basketball cause of the motherland, but the key problem is that the Basketball Association does not look down on him at all as an unknown assistant coach, and only Yao Ming, who trains here every year, knows how powerful Chang Wei is. But he can't just talk about it to make the Basketball Association believe in Chang Wei's strength, and even if he agrees, he won't give Chang Wei much power. However, for Chang Wei, he must be in full control of all the training of a team, otherwise he will not be able to improve their strength.

Of course, if Chang Wei can make a name for himself, then the Basketball Association must consider Yao Ming's opinion, so to speak, it seems that the 2008 Beijing Olympics is a good choice, but before that, Chang Wei must do more. There's a lot to learn from Brown, but it's time for him to get the other guys on board.

This year's Pistons' summer mini-camp is still organized by Billups, and Chang Wei was specially invited to coach them, which has been the practice in recent seasons. Chang Wei is not hypocritical, laying a good foundation for the players in advance will definitely be of great benefit to the team, no matter how much fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, Yao Ming and them have done special training, and now they naturally want a bowl of water.

This mini-training camp is still mainly based on physical and technical training, and Chang Wei held a meeting with the players on the first day and sent the training plan for them. Just as he was about to explain his plans for the mini-camp, his cell phone rang. There are not a few people who know his mobile phone number, but Chang Wei has saved the numbers of these people, but now only one number is displayed on the mobile phone screen without a name, obviously someone he is not familiar with, and it may even be a mistake.

After pressing the phone, Chang Wei picked up the folder in front of him again, and before he could speak, the phone vibrated on the table again. Chang Wei frowned, picked it up and looked at it, it was still the number just now, it was absolutely impossible to make a mistake, who was on the other end of the phone? Chang Wei had a trace of curiosity in his heart, he smiled apologetically, picked up his mobile phone and walked out of the conference room.

Pressing the answer button, Chang Wei didn't have time to say "hey" when he heard a somewhat unfamiliar but not too unfamiliar voice: "Chang, is it you?" Oh my God, you're finally answering the phone, or I'd have thought you wouldn't remember me! ”

Chang Wei laughed, he remembered who the guy who called him, the two of them had shared a basement together in Newcastle. Undoubtedly, the voice came from his best friend from his college days, Damon Jackson.

"Damon, it's me, why did you call me all of a sudden? Is there something you need me to help with? By the way, I don't know what you're doing right now, so if we can, would it be better for us to meet and talk? ”

Jackson on the other end of the phone laughed loudly: "What else can I do, just continue to mingle in the basketball circle?" But it's definitely not as good as you, the champion assistant coach, and whatever you take out is the sweet and sweet food that other teams are rushing to want. ”

Chang Wei said angrily: "It's not interesting for you to tell me this, just say what you want me to help me with." ”

Jackson's voice immediately became serious, he was silent for a while, and said, "Chang, I do have something I want to trouble you, but this matter will not be clear on the phone for a while. I've booked a flight to Detroit, I'll be there tomorrow morning, and we'll find a place to sit and I'll tell you if there's anything I need your help with. ”

Chang Wei agreed without saying a word, he knew that Jackson was a person, this was a warm-hearted guy who didn't want to trouble others, and Chang Wei took a lot of care from him when he shared the house. Now that he came to ask for his help, he was going to make a move, but he didn't know what Jackson wanted to do for him.
