"Thank you, Lao Chang, if it weren't for you, we would have been out in the quarterfinals, and it was because of your special training that we could get a bronze medal. Four years from now, I hope you'll still be fighting with us. ”

On the morning of the second day after the end of the Olympic Games, all the players of the Chinese men's basketball team sent Chang Wei to the airport, who was going to rush back to the United States.

Chang Wei nodded and said to Yao Ming: "Da Yao, you are very strong now, but I think you still have room to continue to improve, you come to me in Charlotte before the season starts, we can also hurry up and do special training." And you-"

Chang Wei looked at the other players who played in the CBA league and said sincerely: "I hope to see you on the NBA court in the future, even if you can't, you have to train hard in China to improve your strength." At present, there will not be too many Chinese players who can play in the NBA, and you are still a very important force in the Chinese men's basketball team. Of course, if you want, you can also come to me in the United States after the NBA season, and I will give you special training. ”

These few words made several players who played in the CBA overjoyed, and everyone wanted to improve their own strength. After Chang Wei's special training this time, they already look down on those trainers in China, if they can train under Chang Wei's guidance for a period of time every year, wouldn't it be possible to walk sideways in the CBA? No matter how bad it is, you can get a big contract.

After saying goodbye to the players of the Chinese men's basketball team, Chang Wei boarded the plane to Charlotte, and the mission of the Olympics has come to an end, and now the Bobcats still need his help. Helping the Bobcats reach the Eastern Conference Finals last season has blinded many people's eyes, and of course, it has also made the Bobcats full of confidence, and Chang Wei has also set a goal for the team, at least to reach the Finals in the new season, and it would be better if he could win the championship. With the current strength of the Bobcats, Chang Wei is fully confident that he will help the team build a new dynasty in the near future, although according to the trajectory of the previous life, the Heat Big Three, the Thunder Three Lesser and the Warriors who are strong enough to break the Bulls' regular season record will be born one after another, but Chang Wei is a man with his own system, and it is no problem to form a dynasty team.

After returning to Charlotte, Chang Wei communicated with Jackson for the first time, and the Bobcats still have two draft picks this year, one is the 26th pick in the first round and the other is the 49th pick in the second round. In Chang Wei's opinion, the 49th pick of the second round pick is useless this year, and at his suggestion, the Bobcats used the No. 26 pick to select George Hill, a point guard from Purdue University, and made him the team's starting point guard, forming a backcourt partner with Roy. Chang Wei's advice proved to be correct, and Hill showed a maturity that was not a rookie at all, and he and Roy showed great strength in the backcourt and took the team all the way to the Finals.

However, they faced the powerful Lakers in the finals, and Kobe, who was assisted by Pau Gasol, played an amazing performance, averaging 33.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, helping the Lakers defeat the Bobcats 4-1 to win the championship. Watching the Lakers lift the championship trophy, the Bobcats players did not feel lost, the overall age of the Lakers is relatively old, if they do it again, the Bobcats may not lose to the Lakers, and they are all young, and the future is definitely theirs!

After the finals, in addition to congratulating Kobe Bryant on leading the Lakers back to the top, the major media in the United States also gave the Bobcats a high evaluation. They all agree that the Bobcats lost the Finals, but their future is bright, the average age of the team's core is not even more than 26, and if they can sustain it, they will have many years of dominance, and it will definitely not be a surprise if they win the championship in the next few seasons.

Of course, the Bobcats did not stop the pace of reinforcement, because of the existence of Chang Wei, in addition to small repairs and small repairs, they mainly absorbed fresh blood through the draft. This time the Bobcats only had a 29th pick in the first round, but Chang Wei still chose Wayne Ellington from the University of North Carolina among the rookies. In his previous life, Ellington didn't come out until he joined the Heat in 2016, but Chang Wei knew what he was good at, so he and Jackson worked together to build Ellington into an excellent 3-and-D guard. For the Bobcats, such a role player is what they need, and the main lineup does not need to change much.

The Bobcats made a comeback in the East, knocking out their opponents three straight 4-0s to reach the Finals again, and they still face the Lakers. However, this time, the young people of the Bobcats did not let themselves have any more regrets, although they drew 2-2 with the Lakers in the first four games, and also lost the battle of Tianwang Mountain, but the Bobcats gritted their teeth and won the sixth game, dragging the finals into the tie-break. In this crucial game, the Bobcats defeated the Lakers 101-100 with Roy's last 1.2 seconds and won the first championship in team history.

But that wasn't the end of the story, as the Bobcats won two more titles in 2010-11 and 2011-12 and built their own dynasty in everyone's astonishment. And Chang Wei's fame is also popular in the United States, people in the basketball circle know that he is the behind-the-scenes hero of the Bobcats to establish a dynasty, many teams have offered high salaries in the hope of poaching him, especially those fish belly who have not been able to turn over for a long time, and they regard Chang Wei as an opportunity for the team to re-emerge, because now they have little capital in their hands other than draft picks that can be used to rebuild, and Chang Wei is recognized as the king of the draft.

Unexpectedly, after the Bobcats successfully won the 2012 NBA championship, Chang Wei announced his retirement from the NBA and returned to China as the chief assistant coach and trainer of the Chinese men's basketball team, accompanying the team to the 2012 London Olympics. Although Li Nan, Du Feng, Zhang Qingpeng and Wang Lei withdrew from the national team, players such as Guo Allen, Zhou Peng, Ding Jinghui and Yi Li made up for it, and this time they had a longer special training time, and the players who participated in the Beijing Olympics led by Yao Ming have also become stronger in recent years.

And this time the Chinese team is divided into a relatively weak group, in addition to Spain's strength is still worth seeing, the same group of Britain, Russia, Brazil and Australia are difficult to pose any threat to the Chinese men's basketball team. Spain, which wanted to avenge the revenge four years ago, was defeated again by the Chinese men's basketball team led by Yao Ming, who qualified as the first in the group.

Then in the knockout stage, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated France and Russia successively, and met the United States men's basketball team again in the final. This time, the American men's basketball team in London is also full of superstars, Thunder Sanshao, James, Anthony and Griffin and other stars are impressively listed, and the veteran Kobe Bryant also responded to the call to go with the team.

But unexpectedly, the Chinese team withstood the impact of the American team in a foreign land, only trailing the opponent by 5 points after three quarters, and three minutes before the end of the game, they once took a narrow lead. However, at this time, Durant began to take over the offensive power, as an unprecedented BUG-level player, although his skills are not mature, but it is enough, Yi Jianlian, who is also a starter in the NBA, was played by him on the defensive end, Durant Tree burst out and scored consecutive points, and finally used an ultra-long-distance three-point shot to help the United States team lock up the victory, and the Chinese men's basketball team won a silver medal.

Although this is a step up from the Beijing Olympics four years ago, Chang Wei is still very dissatisfied, and he finally realizes that it is difficult for these players who have been selected for the national team to win the championship alone. The reason why American basketball is strong is that they have not only created the highest level basketball league in the world, but also created a basketball atmosphere that has swept the United States, games of all ages, and of course, large and small street basketball courts in cities across the United States.

After visiting a number of Chinese basketball celebrities and active players, Chang Wei took out most of his savings, and with the help of people in the basketball world, he established the most scientific and largest youth basketball training base in China's hometown, Chang Wei himself served as the chief trainer, and the management was almost composed of retired Chinese basketball players.

Chang Wei's idea is very simple, the huge basketball system that runs through all ages is not yet something he can promote, and in his opinion, the only thing he can do is to do his job, so that talented children can carry out various scientific training from the youth stage to reserve talents for Chinese basketball. In addition to building relationships with CBA teams, Chang Wei has also successfully linked up with four NBA teams, including the Bobcats, and eight NCAA Division I schools, including Villanova University and the University of Colorado, giving players the opportunity to continue their basketball careers across the ocean.

And in the process, the system has magically appeared with a function that has never appeared before, that is, to view the growth talent of players. Chang Wei's management style is still very humane, and treating everyone equally is the most basic requirement, but just like there are experimental classes in middle schools, those talented young players will also be gathered together to train alone, and they are the seeds of the future of Chinese basketball. Chang Wei is very confident in the system, as long as he is a seedling recognized by the system, he will become a first-class star in the future.

Gradually, Chang Wei is getting old, and the players who have gone out of his training base are also shining in major leagues, and his voice in the domestic basketball circle has become more and more important. Before retiring, Chang Wei gave a 10,000-word letter to the General Administration of Sports, detailing the Chinese basketball ladder league system he envisioned, as well as the relevant process for active players to play abroad.

After handing over the training base to his successor, Chang Wei has been campaigning for the new Chinese basketball system in the last ten years of his life, and finally under the personal intervention of the national leader, the huge system of Chinese basketball from the kindergarten to the adult team has been built, and the overall level is also constantly improving, and it has remained in the top five of the FIBA world ranking all year round.

When Chang Wei passed away, countless retired and active stars rushed to see him off, and even players in the United States and Europe who had received his guidance traveled thousands of miles to attend the memorial service. As a crucial figure in the history of Chinese basketball, Chang Wei's tombstone simply has his name and date of birth and death written on it, and a basketball is carved on the top of the tombstone......
