Chang Wei took a sip of beer and looked at the man in front of him carefully again, if it wasn't for Elle's greeting in advance, he wouldn't have thought that this guy who looked like the underworld was more of a video editor than Elle's brother.

Laurie pretended to be angry and said, "Chang, this is the seventh time you've seen me like this. But I must reiterate that Elle and I are brother and sister! Besides, does that have anything to do with you applying for a team trainer? ”

Looking at the customers around him who were toasting and drinking, Chang Wei pretended not to hear his complaints, and instead asked, "Why do we meet in a bar near the school?" This is not a place for such serious topics. Don't you tell me it's a tradition at Villanova University, what can you do in a bar? ”

Laurie laughed, "It's certainly not a Villanova tradition, but it's mine. I've asked Elle about your age before, so I've chosen to meet you at the bar. If you're an uncle in your forties or fifties, I'd probably choose a café, but that means we can't be friends. ”

Chang Wei nodded with a smile and took the initiative to change the subject: "Laurie, I want to ask, when can I meet Coach Rappers?" You can't do this, can you? ”

Laurie thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, he'll come to the school tomorrow afternoon to screen the high school players to be recruited this year with the scouts, and maybe you can give him some advice then!" ”

Of course, Laurie is just talking, but Chang Wei thinks this suggestion is good, although it is logically not what the trainer should care about, but if he can impress the head coach, the probability of joining the team may be greatly increased.

But when he thought about it, Chang Wei gave up on this seemingly tempting suggestion. Indeed, he has a lot of treasures for the top stars who will emerge for a long time to come, but once Villanova University comes to the appeal, newcomers who have already made a name for themselves prefer to choose top universities; Second, even if he recommended those late-blooming relics to Rappers, people would only think that he was deliberately making trouble, and there was only one traverser like Chang Wei.

Seeing that Chang Wei didn't seem to want to talk more about the application, Laurie naturally changed the topic and started the basic situation of Copvila Nova University. The Villanova University Wildcats competed in the NCAA from 1920-21 and are members of the Big East Conference and the five elite Philadelphia Athletic League players, winning their only NCAA championship in franchise history in 1985.

While the school didn't contribute many top stars to the NBA, the only star who has made a name for himself in NBA history has made a remarkable contribution to modern basketball technology, and that is Paul Alikin, known as the "father of the jump shot." If Alikin hadn't taken the lead in scoring with a jump shot, we can't say that this technology would never have appeared on the court of professional basketball, but the NBA's technical progress will undoubtedly be delayed for some time.

But other than that, Villanova graduates are not particularly outstanding, plus this year's No. 7 pick Kidders, a total of only seven players were drafted in the first round, of which Alikin was still signed by the Philadelphia 76ers with a "geographic draft", but in terms of the price paid by the team, it is equivalent to a first-round pick.

The two chatted and drank until 11 o'clock. Chang Wei thinks Laurie is a very interesting guy, and Laurie is full of confidence in Chang Wei's interview.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Chang Wei finally met the team's head coach Lappers in the reception room of Villanova University. The first impression of this middle-aged man with a relatively gentle expression is that Chang Wei is full of energy, born in 1954, he is only 42 years old this year, and he can be said to be the youngest among NCAA coaches.

What makes Chang Wei even more impressed is that Lappers entered this circle as early as 1988, when he coached at the University of Manhattan, until he became the head coach of the Villanova University Wildcats in the 1992-93 season. In other words, he was only 34 years old when he started as a head coach, and you must know that many professional players are still playing on the court at this time, that is, coaching college players, and if he changes to the NBA, he probably won't even be able to control his players.

Perhaps because he is also young, Lappers is not too surprised by Chang Wei's age, the only thing that makes him feel a little suspicious is Chang Wei's identity - this guy is Chinese.

But Rappers quickly put away his contempt, because Chang Wei actually answered the question he racked his brains to come up with, showing the demeanor of a top student majoring in sports rehabilitation at Columbia University, which is enough to prove that this guy still has some dry goods in his head. Famous trainers are not easy to find, why not let this Chinese kid give it a try? It's really not good, you can change it again in the middle of the season.

After making up his mind, Rappers smiled and said: "Chang, I personally welcome you to join the team, but according to the rules, you must go through a probationary period first, and if you qualify, you can play alongside the team, at least for the next few seasons." I'm looking forward to your performance and hope you can prove what you're capable of. ”

Chang Wei didn't expect that he would easily pass the test, although there is still a trial period, but now that he has a high-tech system from the alien, the trial is not just passable? He quickly stood up and shook hands with Coach Rappers: "Mr. Coach, thank you very much for your trust, and I also believe that I can contribute to the team. So what do I need to do next? ”

As soon as Chang Wei asked, Rappers seemed to think of something, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared. He sighed and said, "Chang, the situation of our school must have been briefly introduced to you by Laurie. Since Kidders participated in this year's draft and was drafted by the Nets, it has been confirmed that Villanova's talented power forward Tim Thomas will be the centerpiece of our new season, but unfortunately, this guy sprained his ankle while playing wild ball last week, and the injury is still relatively serious, and it will take at least a month or two if it is treated as usual, but the team can't afford to wait......"

"If you can, hopefully you can make a recovery plan based on his injury and try to speed up his recovery without any after-effects, and it would be better if he could be in time for the opening game of the new season. What's more, with the appeal of our school, Thomas is already the best high school player we can recruit, and we don't want him to slip up. ”

Chang Wei hadn't spoken yet, his head dinged, and the system prompted that a task was generated: "Good start", to help Tim Thomas recover his health, and cut two pairs in the opening game of the new season, rewarding 10 experience points and 5 reputation points.

"Okay, I'll do it!" Chang Wei said confidently.
