Generally speaking, players like Bale who can only get a short contract do not need to meet with the team staff in person, as long as the team talks with the player's agent on the phone, then the player can come and sign the contract. However, now Bell has not hired his agent for the time being, and Chang Wei still sent out an invitation for an interview in order to show his solemnity.

To be honest, when he received Chang Wei's call, Bale was confused, his first reaction was phone fraud, although he is still unemployed, but he is also a professional player. However, the address given to him by Chang Wei made him uncertain, it was obviously the 76ers' home stadium in the first league center, could it really be the staff of the 76ers?

Bell doesn't believe he has any talent to make an NBA team look at, in fact he just wants to find a team that can play him right now, and the development league or something is acceptable, but he really never considered joining an NBA team, and he thinks it would be more reliable to practice for a few more minutes than to think about this unrealistic situation.

On top of that, he still lives in Florida, and although we all belong to the East Coast of the United States, it still seems a little far away from Philadelphia, and he can't afford to pay for a plane ticket now, as for driving? Forget it, Bell doesn't even have a car. Thinking of this, he plucked up the courage to call back again, his luck was very good, Chang Wei was just about to go home from work.

Hearing the phone ringing, he had to push the door open again and go in to pick up the microphone, and Bell's somewhat nervous voice came from the phone: "Sir, I'm very sorry, can you lend me some money?" I don't have the money to buy a plane ticket to Philadelphia......"

Chang Wei couldn't help but lament on the other end of the phone: Nima, as a professional player, is it really good that you can't even afford a plane ticket? He coughed a few times and replied in a very serious voice: "I'm sorry, our team doesn't have this budget, but I can book you a ticket in my personal capacity, and if you can join, pay me back when the salary is paid!" ”

Bell was stunned for a moment, and then thanked Chang Wei repeatedly, Chang Wei felt that it was nothing after he figured it out, a ticket for a future best defensive team member, he could be said to have made a lot of money. Soon Chang Wei helped Bell book a flight ticket to Philadelphia the next morning, which moved the latter inexplicably, and he had secretly decided to sign a contract with the 76ers as long as he was not a liar.

At noon the next day, Chang Wei met the dusty Bell in his office. This defensive titan who was famous for locking Kobe Bryant in the later generations is still very young, and he has been quite nervous since he entered the office, Chang Wei smiled, poured him a glass of water, and said gently: "Raja, I'm very glad that you can come and interview me, what I want to say is ......"

Bell jerked his head up and said loudly, "Sir, you don't have to say anything, I'm willing to join the 76ers." ”

Belch...... Chang Wei was a little confused, what is the situation? If I just said yes, I don't feel fulfilled, right? Looking at Bell, who was obviously a little excited, Chang Wei shook his head and said: "I think it's better to make some things clear to you in advance, I don't want you to make such a big decision because of impulse, after all, it is likely to affect your career." ”

Bell smiled a little embarrassedly, took a long sip of water, and waited for Chang Wei to explain the current situation to him.

Chang Wei pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "First of all, we can only provide you with a 10-day short contract ......"

10 days short contract? Bale's face became a little ugly, he originally thought that the 76ers would sign a formal contract with him, but he didn't expect it to be a part-time job. But he soon convinced himself that although it was true that he could wait for official contracts from other low-level leagues, the training he got was not comparable to that of the NBA, and that short-term contracts could be extended.

Chang Wei's next words soon put Bale at ease: "Of course, if you perform well, the team should renew the next short-term contract, even if it is not impossible to extend the contract until the end of the season." ”

Bell sighed to himself, it seems that this is still relatively promising, he does not have a bright resume, it is not bad to get such an opportunity, and he believes that he can continue to stay after the first short-term contract. However, Bale thought of a second question, and he asked in a low voice: "So what is my position in the team?" ”

"Bench shooting guard!" "If you've been following the news before, you'll know why we suddenly need a backup defender. However, our team's back line does have plenty of personnel, whether it's Iverson, Snow, McGee, Reed, they can all contribute to the team, and there is not much playing time left. To be honest, our manager just wants to be prepared, that's why I was asked to recommend a player and I recommended you. ”

Bell was about to speak, but Chang Wei made a pause gesture and continued: "The reason why I recommend you is because I am optimistic about you, I want you to be a first-class outside defender, and I also believe that you have this talent." ”

"But......" Bell said weakly, holding up his hand like a schoolboy, "I've always been used as a breakup, and if I change to a completely different role, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it myself......"

Chang Wei asked unceremoniously: "Then how effective was it when you were the team's scorer before?" ”

Bell's face turned red and he said, "The effect is ...... It didn't work very well......"

Seeing Bell's red face, Chang Wei didn't poke at him, but said earnestly: "So what does it matter if you try another role?" Maybe you've heard my name more or less, but I'm pretty good at player training, and if you want, I'll make a plan for you to become a top-notch defensive expert in the league. ”

Bell was skeptical of Chang Wei's words, but he felt that what Chang Wei said was right, since the previous road did not work, it was not impossible to change the road. And he did hear some rumors about Chang Wei, of course, it was when he was in the NCAA, and many players said that this Chinese was a magical magician who could make players stronger.

Such rumors are scoffed at, but he does not deny Chang Wei's ability, otherwise there would not be so many people who respect him. Chang Wei's words can still be believed, and Bell can't help but begin to fantasize about the prospect of changing careers and becoming an outside gate......
