At around 2 p.m., Chang Wei wandered around the campus of Duke University, and anyway, it was 3 o'clock the day before with Coach Shashefsky, so he had time to take a good look at the campus of this top university.

Like most American colleges and universities, there are no walls or gates, but there are no pedestrians on the road, after all, it is summer vacation, and there are not many students who still stay on campus. Chang Wei is satisfied that the greening of Duke University is very good, you can see green grass and all kinds of tall trees everywhere, if he has done his homework before coming, he will definitely know that Duke is known as a school in the woods, and greening is quite famous among colleges and universities in the United States.

Duke University's buildings are very distinctive, looking like medieval castles, but Chang Wei is not concerned about this, he is surprised to find that there are many hospitals on campus, and the medical conditions seem to be quite good. And the basketball atmosphere is also very strong, basketball elements can be seen everywhere on campus, and there is even a poster of Hill in front of a student supermarket, which is the biggest NBA star produced by Duke in the entire 90s.

The time unconsciously came to 2:50, Chang Wei looked at the street sign and walked directly towards the gymnasium of Duke University, where he and Coach K made an appointment was a café near the gymnasium. At this time, there were no customers in the café, and the waiter was lazy and couldn't lift his energy, Chang Wei shook his head and casually found a window seat and sat down.

It wasn't long before the door of the café was pushed open again, and a middle-aged man with a hooked nose who was clearly of Eastern European descent walked in, followed by a young girl in a professional suit. Chang Wei stood up and waved to him, and that was Mike Shashewski, the head coach of the Duke University men's basketball team, nicknamed Coach K. Chang Wei had seen this very distinctive face on TV countless times before crossing over, so he recognized it at a glance.

Lao K also saw Chang Wei for the first time, after all, there was only this one Asian in the entire café, but soon his eyebrows wrinkled. Chang Wei didn't reveal his age when he called before, Lao K just heard from his voice that this was a young man, but he didn't expect this guy to be even younger than he imagined.

Seeing Lao K's expression, Chang Wei's heart sank, but he still quickly controlled his emotions, invited the two to sit casually, and called the waiter to ask for a few cups of coffee.

Old K, a Polish-American, likes to go straight, can't rub sand in his eyes, and as soon as he sat down, he asked straightforwardly: "Chang, take the liberty of asking, which university are you?" How long has it been since you graduated? ”

Rao is Chang Wei has become accustomed to the direct questioning of foreigners without concealment, and he can't help but blush. He coughed and said, "I'm a graduate of Columbia University, majoring in sports rehabilitation and minoring in sports psychology, and I graduated in ...... Speaking of the back of ...... in May last year, Chang Wei's voice was like a mosquito humming.

Old K was still expressionless, and no one could know what was going on in his heart. After an awkward silence, he began to ask again: "Have you done a similar job in more than a year?" I mean assistant coaches or something. ”

Chang Wei almost had the urge to dig a crack in the ground and get in, he scratched his head, and his voice became quieter: "I'm sorry, I haven't had a relatively stable job ...... since I graduated."

However, as if he remembered something, his voice became louder again, and he took his backpack from the side and prepared to take out something: "Mr. coach, I have here my transcript from my college days, you can take a look, I can guarantee that I am still relatively professional in basketball, so I hope to learn something from you this time." ”

Lao K waved his hand and said: "The transcript doesn't explain anything, I have heard of the sports rehabilitation major of Columbia University, since you can graduate from there, you must have some ability." But I'm asking for an assistant coach, not a team trainer, so I'll ask you a few questions, and if your answer is good, I can think about it. ”

Chang Wei nodded, and began to concentrate on preparing to answer Old K's question. Originally, he was still very calm, but soon his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, Lao K deserves to be the top coach in the NCAA, his questions are not so easy to answer, sometimes a question Chang Wei has to think for several minutes before he can organize the answer.

You must know that Chang Wei's major is sports rehabilitation and sports psychology, and he was only a trainer for a small team before the crossing, and he only knew a little about the responsibilities of an assistant coach, so he had to rack his brains to answer.

Half an hour later, the interview was finally over, and Chang Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Chang Wei felt that his answer was not bad, but Lao K was still expressionless. He took a sip of coffee and said, "Chang, that's all for today's meeting, I'll let my assistant inform you of any news in the future." ”

The girl who came in with him smiled and nodded at Chang Wei.

Chang Wei smiled reluctantly, he didn't know how many interviews he had participated in in his previous life, as long as the interviewer said something like "the interview is over, you can go back and wait for news", this matter will be yellow nine times out of ten. However, he is also a resolute person, and after a little disappointment, he re-showed a reserved smile, took a cup of coffee and drank it all, and then said goodbye to Lao K and left.

Driving a Chevrolet on the way back to Newcastle, Chang Wei's mood has completely calmed down. Lao K's interview made him realize that he still has a lot of shortcomings, and he can't make up for them in a while, and now he can only continue to look for a job as a team trainer, and the assistant coach must wait until he is more experienced to be competent.

After running all the way, Chang Wei returned to the small house he shared with Damon. Seeing him push the door in the dust, Damon, who was watching TV, jumped up directly from the sofa and asked nervously, "Chang, how was the interview?" Is there any hope of joining the Blue Devils and working under Coach K? ”

Chang Wei looked at Damon, who was more nervous than himself, shook his head and said, "How can it be so simple to enter Duke?" Although Lao K asked me to come back and wait for the notice, in my experience, basically this job is hopeless. If I could, I'd try my luck when I got up to bed and buy a few newspapers! ”

Damon said disappointedly, "Well, that's a pity, I thought you could go to the Blue Devils." But if you miss this opportunity, forget it, there will be better jobs waiting for you in the future. ”

Chang Wei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Of course, I think so too. ”
