Chapter 390 Dismayed
Brown didn't say much on the phone, and the two chatted for a few minutes before hanging up.Chang Wei stuffed the phone under the pillow casually, turned over to go to sleep, but met Harmon's clear eyes.Chang Wei stroked her hair, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, it's late now, go to bed quickly, you have to go out to play tomorrow!"
Harmon shook his head, sat up halfway, and asked worriedly: "I heard almost everything you said to Old Brown just now. If the 76ers want to fire him, will it have any impact on your work in the team? ?”
Chang Wei shrugged: "If the new head coach is not brain-dead, I should not be affected. However, I can't guarantee whether the 76ers will win the championship next season. Brown's coaching ability is undoubtedly Top of the league."
Having said that, Chang Wei thought of what happened to him at Villanova University.Before that, he and Rappers can be said to have cooperated happily, reaching the final four and winning the national championship once, which is undoubtedly the peak of Villanova University in recent years.However, after Rappers resigned due to illness, the new coach did not get along with Chang Wei at all. It was difficult for Chang Wei to work under a head coach who liked to go his own way. He couldn't bear it, and finally resigned angrily and joined Colorado State University.
Although the title of the 76ers' two-time champion can attract many big-name coaches who are idle at home, Chang Wei does not guarantee that every powerful head coach will like such a bossy subordinate like himself.Brown is indeed leaving the 76ers according to the trajectory of his previous life, but he may not coach the Pistons again according to the trajectory of his previous life.If he really can't get along with the new head coach, Chang Wei doesn't know where he is going, anyway, let's take it one step at a time, and use up the vacation balance first.
Brown didn't ask Chang Wei to return to Philadelphia as soon as possible. He just wanted to tell his most important assistant coach about it as soon as possible. Chang Wei could feel at ease on vacation.But Harmon didn't have any intention of going on vacation. After spending another week in various European countries, she urged Chang Wei to book a plane ticket and return. Chang Wei couldn't beat his girlfriend, so he had to do so.
After returning to Philadelphia, Chang Wei contacted Brown as soon as possible. The old coach had no intention of managing team affairs at all during the offseason. The most important scouting department during the offseason operated completely according to the established workflow, but no one Instructing them which players they should pay attention to is very detrimental to the 76ers' next draft and signings, but Brown can no longer control so much. At this time, he is living like a real retired old man, full of energy It also looks much worse than before.
Chang Wei couldn't help being surprised when he saw him. Brown had always taken good care of himself, but now the wrinkles around his eyes and forehead had become deeper.Seeing Chang Wei standing at the door, Brown was not surprised. He just smiled and let Chang Wei come in and sit casually, but his eyes could not hide the loneliness, mixed with a trace of resentment and relief.
As soon as Chang Wei sat down, he couldn't wait to ask: "Coach, have the results of the team's top management come down?"
Brown shook his head, his voice a little hoarse: "Not yet, but it's basically confirmed. Fortunately, I paid for this apartment myself, so I don't need to pack up and leave..." He was still in the mood to joke, although a little Neither is funny.
"Then what are your plans for the next coach? You won't want to stay idle like this forever, will you?"
Brown laughed at himself: "Who knows? Anyway, I probably won't be coaching again in a short time..."
The team moved quickly. On the second day after Chang Wei visited Brown, the team issued an official announcement, announcing that it would not renew the contract with the meritorious coach Brown. There is no need to repeat the conventional nonsense such as contribution. Anyway, the only valuable sentence from the beginning to the end of the announcement is-the 76ers will not renew Brown's contract.
This announcement immediately made the entire league explode. No one expected that the defending champion would actually destroy the Great Wall. This also attracted more media reporters to Philadelphia to dig deeper.But no matter how hard they try, the 76ers keep it secret. Indeed, no matter who is right or wrong about the conflict between the general and the coach, a little leak will be a heavy blow to the team's image.
Moreover, only a few high-level people knew the inside story of this matter, and the players only guessed a general idea, but this matter involved Iverson and Brown at the same time, and it was not easy for them to say too much to the reporters.This has led to numerous media failures. They don’t know why the 76ers suddenly fired their head coach. Fortunately, they are still a bit ethical. They just found a few experts to analyze from various aspects, instead of writing random articles by themselves. Forced.
Of course, there are some people who act faster than the reporters, that is, other team managements who are not satisfied with the strength of the head coach. They have begun to contact Brown with their own connections, hoping to be able to poach them as the head coach of the team.However, Brown basically put aside these invitations. He still needs time to sort out his mood, and has no idea of starting a second job for the time being.Besides, even if you want to join another team, you need to choose carefully, right?
Chang Wei is also not good at persuading Brown. Strictly speaking, although he was invited by Brown to join the coaching team, it is still the team that pays him. Brown's failure to renew his contract does not mean that he will also lose his job.So he has no position to persuade Brown to choose a certain team, even if he knows that Brown once again reached its peak in Detroit in his previous life.
For Chang Wei, what he has to do now is to wait quietly. Unless Billy King comes to consult, he can wait until the training camp starts before he can start working.Chang Wei has always been a person who is afraid of trouble. Since no one comes to ask him to return to work early, then he should focus on this year's draft. Whether it is useful or not, it is still a job.
Moreover, Chang Wei is also very interested in those young talents who have not yet emerged, which will make him feel like witnessing history.Besides, this year is 2002. If there is no accident, Yao Ming, the most influential player in the history of Chinese basketball, is about to join the NBA. Even if Chang Wei doesn't pay attention to other people, he must pay attention to the talented center from the motherland.
In fact, there was a period of time when Chang Wei had the idea of joining the Rockets, but he gave up later. It would be good to let Yao Ming grow up in the Rockets naturally. If he got injured, he didn't say he wouldn't help!
