The team is soaring all the way, the newcomers have been trained enough, and the 76ers look peaceful. However, there were some discordant voices in the midst of this atmosphere, no doubt from our Agent Zero Arenas.

As in his previous life, Arenas still chose No. 0, probably because Chang Wei told him to start from the bench. But seeing that the selected friends have more playing time, but they are still very hard to play about twelve or thirteen minutes per game, it is understandable that the imbalance in my heart is not allowed.

While Arenas' complaints didn't turn into infighting, his own training and game form did suffer. Not to mention his frequent mistakes in training, and even occasional distractions during games, he has averaged 4.7 turnovers per game in recent games, the most of any player on the team. The most outrageous time was when he threw the ball directly to the bench when passing the ball and almost hit Brown, which made the demanding old coach look iron.

Of course, Brown wasn't angry that the basketball almost hit him, after all, every photojournalist near the baseline has enjoyed such treatment at some point. What makes him unhappy is Arenas's attitude in the game, in fact, what Brown admires most is the player who has a good attitude towards the game, even if your skills are a little worse, it is not unacceptable, but it is Arenas, a player whose skills are still passable but whose game attitude is very average, makes the old coach angry the most, and he can't wait to trade Arenas directly. It's a pity that this guy hasn't played his price yet, and it is estimated that he can only get a second-round pick at most if he takes it out as a bargaining chip.

Chang Wei also felt helpless, after all, he was the one who chose Arenas in the first place, and even used Mason to exchange a first-round pick to choose Hellam Porter, just to select Arenas with the 30th pick. In a way, Chang Wei has to take responsibility for Arenas' performance in his rookie season, and it looks like it's time to make a cameo appearance as a psychiatrist.

Maybe it's because Chang Wei touched Arenas with sincerity when they met for the first time, and this time in the face of Chang Wei's inquiry, he didn't hesitate to say his thoughts: "Chang, I'm not convinced, I think Samuel and Memet's strength is not as good as mine, but why can they get more playing time, and I still have to work hard for this?" ”

Looking at Arenas's indignant appearance, Chang Wei smiled, in his opinion, Arenas is a very naïve mentality, do you have to have the treatment that your teammates have? Competitive sports are the fairest, but also the most unfair, as long as you are strong enough, any resources can be tilted towards you, and there will be more teams to hand out olive branches, but if you are too weak, then sorry, you have to fight for playing time, and maybe even go to the development league to fight for a formal contract.

Relatively speaking, Arenas's experience is quite good, Brown replaced Snow, who has always been the team's starting point guard, with Reed, but Snow is playing more of the No. 1 position in the rotation, which is what he is good at, so as to free up the position of Arenas as a backup point guard. Coupled with the lack of firepower in the bench lineup, the team selected him in the hope that he could desperately cut points, for which Brown even gave him unlimited firing rights, although it was not for a long time, but it was definitely first-class treatment.

I didn't expect this guy to still complain here that the team didn't give him more opportunities, which is ridiculous!

Chang Wei did not preach directly to Arenas, but changed the subject: "Gilbert, do you believe in luck?" ”

Arenas shook his head disdainfully and said, "I only believe in my own strength, it doesn't matter if I am lucky or something." ”

Chang Wei smiled and said, "But you have to admit that the influence of luck is everywhere in the league. For the same fall, others may not even have a sprain, but you will suffer a serious injury that will be reimbursed for the season; It's the same decent shot, maybe someone else's ball can fall into the basket after a few laps, but your ball will fall out directly after a few laps; It's the same as going to a nightclub, maybe no one else has any, but you were directly photographed by the paparazzi when you were hugging a girl......"

Arenas frowned and asked, "Chang, what are you trying to tell me after you said so much?" ”

Chang Wei shrugged: "What I want to tell you is that what happened to you is only because of your bad luck. Of course, Chang Wei can only use luck as an explanation, because he is the "mastermind" behind Mutombo's decline in form and the increase in playing time of Durham Potter and Oku, so he can only attribute it all to luck in order to avoid trouble.

Arenas' eyes were a little dazed, he didn't know what it had to do with his luck. Chang Wei saw that he still looked like he didn't know why, he couldn't help pressing his temples, and said speechlessly: "Do you think Michael may be like Deacon Bay's state that has declined so obviously?" If you think it's impossible, then don't envy Samuel them! ”

Arenas suddenly realized, and then a little disappointed, Reed, as a player who only entered the league last year, is not in the same physical condition as Mutombo, and it is obviously unrealistic to expect his form to decline suddenly. If Reed suffers a serious injury, there is a chance, but Arenas is arrogant, but he is not the kind of second goods who curses his teammates for being injured because he doesn't have a chance, so he feels lost, and it looks like he still has a long way to go in the starting line for the 76ers.

Chang Wei patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Gilbert, you and Michael are completely different types of players, and some games are more effective in sending you on the field than sending Michael." But first you have to make sure that you are in shape in training, otherwise even if you have the opportunity, Coach Brown will not give you too much playing time, and your training attitude determines your playing time to a large extent. In addition, you have to play more eye-catching performances in your limited playing time to get the attention of the coach. You can't even play with limited playing time, and who can believe you can take on a heavier responsibility? ”

In the end, Chang Wei concluded: "Everyone's experience is unavoidable, and Deacon Bey's decline in form is not something we expected, and Samuel and Memet were only chosen because they wanted to improve their interior depth. Obviously, you can't get such an opportunity, so work hard, as long as it's your chance, no one can take it away! ”
