Chapter 2: Blue Devil Duke

Perhaps thinking about buying a newspaper, Damon didn't play until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening as usual, and Chang Wei heard the doorbell as soon as the pointer reached ten o'clock.

"Why doesn't this guy even have a key?" Chang Wei muttered as he got up to open the door for Damon.

He couldn't help but smile as soon as the door opened, Damon held a basketball in one hand, and a thick stack of newspapers in the other, which looked like seven or eight copies, no wonder he couldn't free his hand to open the door.

Before Chang Wei could speak, Damon directly threw the newspaper on the table, grabbed his huge cup and poured a few sips of water, waved his hand and said, "I went a little late, fortunately there is still some stock, basically the rest of the newspaper kiosk is here." You watch slowly, I'll go take a shower first, this hell weather is really hot......"

Looking at Damon, who took off only a pair of underwear in three or two strokes, humming a small tune and running to the bathroom, Chang Wei felt that his eyes were a little moist. He quickly wiped his eyes, sat down at the table and began to read today's newspaper.

I have to say that Damon is still quite reliable, and the mainstream newspapers in the United States are almost all together, such as "USA Today" and "Wall Street Journal". Chang Wei didn't plan to waste time, he took out a pen, picked up a newspaper casually, opened the page of the job advertisement and read it seriously.

But what made Chang Wei feel helpless was that he flipped through three or four newspapers in a row, but he didn't see any basketball-related recruitment. He smiled helplessly, it wasn't a decade or twenty years later, whether it was high school, college, or various professional and semi-professional teams, they were more accustomed to recruiting the talent they needed through the connections of management, rather than casting a net in the newspaper.

As a student who graduated not long ago, and is still a Chinese, Chang Wei has no interpersonal relationships that can be called connections. There were only two options for him, either run to the teams like a fool and nominate himself, or rely on luck to find opportunities in the newspapers, as he is doing now.

Chang Wei never had the luxury of hoping that he would join the NBA team directly in one step, and even the NCAA giants didn't expect much, as long as he could join any college team to practice and exercise, it would be very good. If you retreat to the second, it's not impossible for the high school team to do so, although Chang Wei doesn't like to deal with little kids in his past life or in this life.

Soon the newspaper that Damon bought back was almost read by Chang Wei, and what made him feel speechless was that there were no advertisements for recruiting trainers in the newspaper at all, not even other jobs related to basketball, and there were countless other industries, but unfortunately Chang Wei did not plan to find a job to make a living.

He rubbed his face vigorously and stared at the last newspaper that he hadn't had time to read. It was the Los Angeles Times, and it was hard to believe that Damon could still buy it in a small eastern city like Newcastle. Newcastle is not the famous port city of the British Isles, but a small part of Delaware, with an area of only 8.3 square kilometers.

Although this newspaper is rare, Chang Wei has no hope, after all, the previous "New York Times", "Wall Street Journal" and other big newspapers have disappointed him, and "Los Angeles Times" should be no exception.

But soon, Chang Wei saw the information he had been looking for in a variety of job advertisements. It's no wonder that he saw this not-so-long recruitment at a glance, but the logo in the upper left corner was too familiar to him, even if it was only black and white, he could still see the strange figure with leaf-like pointed ears.

Duke University Blue Devils!

This is the undisputed giants of the NCAA, and although they have only won two national championships so far, Chang Wei knows how strong this team is under Shhashevsky, the old Coach K. And they have also contributed a number of stars to the NBA, including Grant Hill, who was once hailed as Jordan's successor.

Continuing to look down, Chang Wei frowned, Duke was not hiring a trainer, but an assistant coach, and it didn't seem to be quite right for him. As a basketball enthusiast, Chang Wei naturally knows what the assistant coach has to do, in short, he is responsible for turning the content formulated by the head coach into reality, and he is not interested in such work.

But that's Duke, and working for the Blue Devils could be the dream of most people in the circle, and it's a gold-plated opportunity. Of course, assistant coach is not a position that Chang Wei wants to strive for, but the temptation of working for Duke is too great, and Chang Wei decided to seize this opportunity, even if it is good to show his face.

When Dameng came out of the shower, Chang Wei told him about his plan to apply for a job at Duke. Damon didn't say anything, let alone laugh at Chang Wei's inadequacy. He has always believed that his good friend is capable, and the reason why he can only nest in this small place with him now is only because he has no chance.

But now that the opportunity has come, Damon naturally will not pull Chang Wei's hind legs, but is full of confidence in him. What's more, Newcastle is not far from Dehan, North Carolina, where Duke University is located, and it takes about seven hours to drive, and you can also choose to travel by bus or plane, which is not too long.

Damon wanted his good friend to be in the best shape to go to the interview at Duke University, and he thought for a moment and said, "Often, it's not very close to drive from here to Duke, so I suggest you go to Philadelphia first, then fly to Raleigh, and then go to Duke." ”

Chang Wei refused with a smile, he didn't plan to be so extravagant, although the red-eye flights in the United States are relatively cheap, but well, since you can drive there, why waste the ticket money? Although Damon has a small amount of savings because he often participates in some competitions, there are times when it is better to save a little without spending money.

It just so happened that Damon himself had a second-hand Chevrolet, and Chang Wei had already obtained a U.S. driver's license, so driving all the way from Newcastle to Duke University was not a big problem. Damon couldn't resist him, so he obediently took out the car keys.

Chang Wei said that the time to apply for the job should be sooner rather than later, and he was ready to leave early tomorrow morning. Damon naturally wanted to sleep lazy, so he took out the key in advance and handed it to Chang Wei, so that he wouldn't wake himself up directly in the morning. Chang Wei didn't say thank you, with the relationship between the two of them being able to wear a pair of pants, it would be too much to say this.

After exchanging goodnights, Damon yawned and climbed onto the bed, Chang Wei cleaned up the messy table a little, and also lay down on his bed, and fell asleep after a while.
