Chapter 159: New Opportunities
The Colorado Rams were warmly welcomed by the students and faculty of the university, and the NCAA championship is already a very top honor in American universities, and the University of Colorado is a small team that could not even make it to the national championship in previous seasons, and this season it suddenly won the championship, and even the most supportive fans were surprised.
As the team's head coach, McKay certainly knows whose credit it is. Whether it is the selection of newcomers or intensive training, Chang Wei's ability is extremely admirable, so McKay couldn't wait to send an invitation to Chang Wei on the night of the team's championship, hoping that he can play for Colorado for a few more seasons, at least in McKay's opinion, as long as Chang Wei is there, the overall strength of the players is slowly rising, even if his coaching ability is slightly worse, reaching the national championship is just a piece of cake.
However, Chang Wei did not immediately agree to McKay's invitation, he is not a person like Lao K who insists on Duke and doesn't want to go, and for a reborn, it is not interesting to mix in the NCAA, not going to the NBA is equivalent to half of the memory of his previous life being wasted, after all, there are many future superstars who do not play in the NCAA, Nowitzki, who was selected by the Bucks in the 1998 draft and traded to the Mavericks, is a typical example, if Chang Wei was in the Bucks at that time, Definitely won't let the management send King Nuo out, Nima's previous life was because of this deal, and the bucks were ridiculed for a long time and couldn't hold their heads up.
So Chang Wei plans to wait and see for a while, and give himself a small vacation by the way. Last year, the team was eliminated in the second round of the tournament, although Chang Wei and Harmon went to watch the semifinals later, but that can only be regarded as a tour, this season to win a championship, the consumption of more than twice as much energy as last year, a good rest is definitely necessary.
After giving McKay and the school an ambiguous answer, Chang Wei happily took a vacation. However, in order to appease McKay's injured mind, Chang Wei privately said that no matter whether he will continue to stay at Colorado State University or not, he will explain it to McKay as soon as possible, and even if he leaves, it will leave enough time for the team to find the next physical assistant coach.
McKay is very helpless, he very much hopes that Chang Wei can stay, but it is not good to prevent him from changing his court, after all, with the ability that Chang Wei is showing now and the contacts he has made over the past few seasons, it is not easy to want to jump ship and go to some prestigious schools, and the difficulty will not be as high as when he first started looking for a job. McKay can't directly force Chang Wei to stay, after all, the two of them are good friends in private, not to mention that McKay has no authority for this kind of thing, and he can't do it if he has permission.
Chang Wei didn't plan to go back this year, and his father and mother didn't plan to come over, their reason was that they were distressed about the air ticket money and accommodation fees, BA's schedule was very short, and the rules of the playoffs were not quite the same as the NBA, Chang Wei didn't care so much, he only knew that Harmon was now preparing for the 2000 season in New York, so he ran over and became a houseman. With the system in his possession, Chang Wei didn't know how high the recipes and recovery plans he had taken out were higher than the trainers of the New York Free Man, so it was logical that he also served as Harmon's personal assistant coach.
However, the happy life of eating, drinking, watching the game and accompanying his girlfriend every day did not last long, and Mr. Popovich made a phone call to Chang Wei's mobile phone. When he saw the caller ID, Chang Wei was startled, thinking that he had entered the wrong number when he entered the number, and he couldn't guess why Popovich was calling him now.
Please, the season isn't over yet, old man, you don't worry about playoff spots with a good hand, so you have to seriously guide your players to train hard, right? At this time, you still call me, could it be that you are idle and bored to come to me for nonsense? Well, in fact, Chang Wei often does this when he is fine, and subconsciously thinks that Popovich is also the same kind of person......
After answering the phone, before Chang Wei could speak, Popovich said, "Chang, where are you now?" If you have time, I have something to do with you, and it will have a big impact on your future career. β
Although the old man said that this matter was very serious, Chang Wei did not pay attention to it, but said dissatisfiedly: "Please, you don't disclose any news, just let me fly directly from New York to San Antonio?" Besides, we won the championship in Colorado, and you didn't mean to congratulate me at all, and as soon as you opened your mouth, you asked me if I was free......"
Popovich said casually, "Oh, you've won the championship, congratulations on winning this season's NCAA championship...... In fact, someone asked me to find a reliable physical fitness assistant, didn't I think of you? However, the man said he wanted me to talk to you before meeting you before he thought about whether or not to let you on his coaching staff. β
it! This force is well pretended! Although I don't know who that person is, I always feel that I am very indebted from the mouth of Mr. Popovich...... Chang Wei snorted lightly and said, "If you don't want to say it, forget it, I'll continue to accompany my girlfriend in New York, anyway, their NBA preseason games are going to start this year, and I can still watch here for a while." β
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and Chang Wei thought that Popovich had gone directly to the toilet. Just as he was about to hang up the phone, the old man's voice sounded again: "Okay, then I'll reveal a little more news to you, the person who wants to find a physical assistant is my teacher, don't tell me you don't know who he is." β
Popovich's teacher? Chang Wei was stunned for a moment, and a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, could Nima be talking about Larry Brown? Thinking of this, Chang Wei couldn't calm down, and he asked cautiously, "Could it be Coach Brown?" β
βBingoοΌ You guessed it, so would you like to come to San Antonio and talk to me now? β
Chang Wei nodded hurriedly, completely ignoring the fact that Popovich couldn't see himself. "Then you wait for me in San Antonio, I'll fly there tomorrow with the earliest flight, if I can, I really hope to learn more by Coach Brown's side, you should remember to help me say a few kind words when the time comes, I can send you a few bottles of fine wine!"
Chang Wei was a little incoherent, and even said that he "bribed" Popovich with wine. No way, Larry Brown, as one of the most famous coaches in NBA history, is a pie in the sky to be on his coaching staff, haven't you seen that such a great coach as Popovich has also been mixed there? Not to mention that Colorado State has not opened a new contract yet, even if it is opened and signed, Chang Wei estimates that he has the urge to pay liquidated damages directly.
