Chang Wei didn't fool Popovich, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately went to book a ticket for the first flight to San Antonio the next day. However, when he calmed down, he realized a very serious problem: he had not yet told Harmon about it, so he quickly set up a trip to San Antonio to meet with Popovich.

Although Chang Wei is a bit machismo in his bones, he still can't do big things without telling his girlfriend. So after Harmon came back from the training gym, Chang Wei immediately told Harmon about Popovich's recommendation to be Brown's assistant coach. But what he didn't expect was that Harmon actually behaved more excitedly than him, and told Chang Wei to perform better when the time came.

Seeing Hamon's excited appearance, Chang Wei touched his head and asked in wonder: "My dear, I booked a plane ticket to San Antonio without your permission, and you didn't even ask about such a thing?" ”

Harmon grabbed Chang Wei's neckline and said excitedly: "But it was Popovich DeBrown who invited you, such a good opportunity is hard to come by, of course, you must rush over as soon as possible to avoid accidents." I'm sure you can, and if you don't satisfy Brown, I don't know what kind of person he's going to choose to be his strength and conditioning assistant. ”

Although what Harmon said was suspicious of Xi Shi in the eyes of his lover, Chang Wei was still secretly refreshed in his heart. In fact, he is also full of confidence in himself, holding such a big killer weapon as the system, of course, he has to give full play to his power, Chang Wei does not doubt his ability at all, and it is still Brown's coaching team, just like Harmon said, such an opportunity is unavoidable.

Who Brown is, the reborn Chang Wei knows better than others. After retiring from the ABA (American Basketball Association) in 1972, Brown began his coaching career the following year, coaching NBA teams after three years at the club. He has coached seven NBA teams, including the Nuggets, Nets, Spurs, Clippers, Pacers, 76ers and Pistons, and has coached college teams during that time. Brown's NBA coaching record is 879-685, the seventh-highest of any NBA coach in history.

Brown was named ABA Coach of the Year three times in 1973, 1975 and 1976, and led college teams (University of Louisville and University of Kansas) to NCAA championships in 1980 and 1988. In 2000, he became the coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star Team; In 2001, he was named NBA Coach of the Year; In 2000, he served as an assistant coach of the U.S. men's basketball team to participate in the Olympic Games and won the gold medal; From November 2003 to the end of the Athens Olympics, he served as the head coach of the U.S. men's basketball team.

However, Chang Wei knew that Brown's peak had not yet come, and in 2001 he led the 76ers to the Finals, but in the face of the Lakers led by the "OK combination", the 76ers lost 1-4. After the 2002-03 season, Brown left the 76ers to coach the Pistons, building a new generation of Pistons bad boy legion in one fell swoop, and avenged the defeat of the Lakers in the 2004 Finals, helping the Pistons win the O'Brien Cup after a 14-year absence.

The gentlemanly Brown has always adhered to the philosophy of "playing basketball the right way", and in his 32-year coaching career, Brown has coached 10 teams, and his specialty is to make ordinary teams shine. He was the first coach in NBA history to lead seven different teams to the playoffs and the first coach to lead four different teams to the Division Finals.

Brown is still coaching in Philadelphia, and Chang Wei is eager to see if he can change history and help the 76ers beat the Lakers in next year's Finals. Of course, Chang Wei didn't say that he hated the later Pistons Five Tigers, after all, no matter how much he said that Billups and himself still had such a fragrant relationship, but for most fans, the 76ers led by Iverson must be much better than the Pistons in the future, and Chang Wei did not say that he wanted to stop Brown from coaching the Pistons, but he regretted that Iverson had not won a championship in his entire career in his previous life, and if he could help him win a championship, it would be good to think about it.

Chang Wei booked a ticket for 8:17 tomorrow morning, so he turned off the lights early and lay in bed. However, thinking that he had the opportunity to work with Brown, Chang Wei couldn't sleep after tossing and turning in bed, and finally fell asleep in a daze, but some major events in the NBA in his previous life were put in his mind over and over again like a movie, so when he got up the next morning, Chang Wei already had two big dark circles under his eyes and looked quite haggard.

Harmon was also shocked when she saw Chang Wei like this, fortunately, her training time was 9 o'clock every day, and it was too late to send Chang Wei to the airport first and then rush back to the training hall. Chang Wei was also very relieved to let his girlfriend fiddle with it, as soon as he got in the car, he fell asleep again, and Harmon on the side was angry and funny, if he was seen by Popovich, he didn't know where he would go to the building!

Chang Wei was so sleep-deprived, his thoughts last night were so chaotic that he couldn't sleep well all night. got on the bus and slept in the car, took a nap in the seat while waiting for the plane, and waited until he got on the plane and fastened his seat belt, Chang Wei fell asleep directly. He also wanted to strengthen his spirit to prepare for the next "interview" of Popovich, but he was helpless and sleepy like a tide, so it was better to sleep well, anyway, he was also clear about the matter of physical assistant teaching now.

New York is on the east coast of the United States, and San Antonio, although not on the west coast, is also really in the western United States, which can be seen clearly from the divisions of the Knicks and Spurs. Chang Wei's flight took nearly seven hours to reach San Antonio International Airport, and by the time the plane landed, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

Chang Wei was not in a hurry to go to the AT&T center, he washed his face in the bathroom, and after he sobered up a little, he walked out of the airport and prepared to take a taxi directly. To his surprise, however, a young black man holding a sign with the Spurs logo and his name on it was waiting for what appeared to be a staff member sent by Popovich to pick him up. Chang Wei hurriedly stepped forward and confirmed his documents to him, the young man who claimed to be called Little Porter picked up the walkie-talkie and said something, and after a while, a very low-key car stopped in front of Chang Wei.

Chang Wei put his luggage in the car, and said casually: "Thank you Coach Popovich for me, but this is too troublesome for you, I still know how to get to the AT&T center, and if you don't come, I can take a taxi directly." ”

Little Porter turned his head and grinned: "Mr. Chang, we are not going to the AT&T Center!" ”
