Training Yao Ming is still relatively easy for Chang Wei, after all, everyone is Chinese, and they naturally feel very close in a foreign country. And Yao Ming himself also has positive thoughts, hoping to make more contributions to the team in the new season, although Chang Wei's training plan is as thick as a book, Yao Ming still gritted his teeth and survived.

However, it may be because of the deep-rooted traditional concept, Yao Ming's progress in practicing three-point shooting is far less fast than that of high-post shooting, and by the end of three months of training, his three-point shooting rate under confrontation can only be maintained at about 33%, that is, about one shot in three shots, but this is not bad for him who has never used three-point shooting as a conventional weapon.

Chang Wei scratched his head a little, which was still a certain gap from the expectations he had set before. Fortunately, Yao Ming will soon be able to verify his training results in the game, and the Basketball Association has asked him to hurry back to China more than once to prepare for the Asian Championships.

In all aspects, Chang Wei's special training for Yao Ming this time is still very effective, in addition to shooting skills, Yao Ming's arms are obviously thicker than at the end of last season, and the overall strength and confrontation have also been greatly improved. In Chang Wei's view, Yao Ming is absolutely invincible in the Asian arena, and no one on the inside line can compete with him in this era, which is also a good time for him to practice three-point shooting in the game, and when Yao Ming left, Chang Wei also specially told him.

Yao Ming smiled bitterly: "I'll try my best, but maybe Coach Jiang won't allow me to shoot three-pointers in the game......" He said that there is only one person in Coach Jiang, that is, the Chinese basketball meritorious coach Jiang Xingquan, who is also the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Asian Championships, in fact, any head coach is estimated not to let his inner pillar pull out to shoot.

Chang Wei nodded and said: "This is a problem, it doesn't matter if you don't have a chance, anyway, if you have a chance, I think as long as you show your three-point shooting skills, with the dominance of the Chinese men's basketball team, Director Jiang will not fail to try." ”

After seeing Yao Ming off, Chang Wei returned to the hotel to pack his luggage and left Houston. Of course, this does not mean that he is free to Yao Ming, and when the Asian Championships start, he will still wait in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast. Now Chang Wei is going to Los Angeles, where a number of Pistons players, including Wade and Dio, are waiting for him.

Many players like to train in familiar places during the offseason, but Los Angeles is still their first choice, so this year, the Pistons, led by Billups, also chose the second-largest city in the United States and rented a decent stadium as a training base. That is, because Billups is here, if another player who is not the captain of the team organizes such a mini-training camp, it is estimated that few people will buy his account.

After settling in, Chang Wei quickly got to work, and the workload of this mini-training camp was much less than that of the official training camp, after all, there were only six people: Billups, Hamilton, Prince, Thomas, Wade and Dior. In addition, Billups called Big Ben, but the latter would not be able to meet him a few days later because of family matters.

Chang Wei is also not gentle with these Pistons players, training them every day until they can fall asleep with a pillow. This time, Chang Wei didn't use the magic drink, at least not when it was available or not. Of course, Chang Wei didn't want to abuse them, but wanted to improve their fitness ceiling, and for a team like the Pistons, the fitness of the players determines whether they can play their own style, which is what Brown has always emphasized.

Naturally, the Pistons' veterans didn't take this to heart, and in the past season they have adapted to Chang Wei's training intensity, and for them this is just "enjoying" the torture in advance. But Wade and Dior had never tried Chang Wei's targeted training, and they were very embarrassed to vomit in the first training session on the first day.

The veteran players didn't laugh, and they didn't vomit less when they were training under Chang Wei, largely because they didn't withstand such intensity. So now seeing the two newcomers repeat the same mistakes, they are both related to each other and take the initiative to help them adapt. Wade and Dior are happy with this kind of team atmosphere, and there is no rookie who doesn't want to have a good environment to grow in during their rookie season, and it's clear that the Pistons can give them the environment they want.

It's still relatively easy to train Wade, and the Flash's talent is there, and his role will be that of the Pistons rotation lineup, at least for next season, with Crawford in the backcourt. Chang Wei has never been afraid of a conflict between these two people on the ball, Crawford can also play without the ball, and with Wade's breakthrough, the Pistons' bench backcourt can even stand up to the starter.

Relatively speaking, Dior is a little troublesome, Chang Wei does not know French, and Dior's English is also a little stumbling, which makes him have to reduce his speaking speed in training, so that Dior will not be confused. What's more, it is still a bit difficult to transform a small forward into a swingman in the third or fourth position, and Dio has never played a big forward.

In his previous life, he was used by Popovich as an interior line in the Spurs, largely because he had completely lost his fortune at that time, and his speed had decreased a lot compared to his peak, but his confrontation increased because of his weight, so he could become the backup power forward of the Spurs, and was even put as a starter by Popovich in some games.

But now Dior is still a freshman who has just entered the league, no matter how he looks at it, he looks like a small forward's embryo, Chang Wei will not deliberately gain weight just because he wants him to swing upward, and it is more appropriate for the "French magician" to maintain his current size. And it's not that he can't play a big forward now, Chang Wei has always hoped that the position can be blurred, and Dio can stand on his feet in the No. 4 position with a small forward style of play, anyway, his main task after coming off the bench is to score.

In fact, Chang Wei had made this suggestion as early as the meeting, so now Dior just feels a little curious, and at the same time has a faint fear of the unknown. He never thought he could swing to the No. 4 position, and when the time comes, will he really be able to play better in the new position?
