Although Maddy, Battier and Brand teamed up to advertise Chang Wei at the draft, Chang Wei is usually too low-key, so low-key that even the pervasive media reporters did not find much information.

Lao K, who had dealt with Chang Wei, could have come out and say a few words, but it was he who refused Chang Wei to join Duke at the beginning, and now the better Chang Wei behaves, the more he shows that he didn't know anyone at the beginning. Although Lao K's prestige will not be criticized too much, but face always has to be taken into account, how can he stand up and expose Chang Wei's material?

However, this wave of advertising is always effective, and Chang Wei has now been used as an amplifier for players. A star said that he was awesome, probably because the two had a better personal relationship; Two stars said that he was awesome, probably because he was popular in the team; But the three stars all said that he was awesome, which is amazing, this guy must be exceptional!

You must know that although the NCAA stars are not arrogant and domineering, they are always a little arrogant and very confident in their own skills. It's hard to get them to publicly credit others for their achievements, and thanking coaches and teammates is just a matter of course, and there's definitely something to be said about someone like Chang Wei.

After the draft, many famous high school stars announced that Villanova was one of their targets, of course, they would not tell the media the real reason, and they only said something like "fancy Villanova's champion genes" in front of the camera, but it is undeniable that Maddie's words had a great impact on these juniors.

So when Chang Wei returned to his office from vacation, he was surprised to see a thick stack of player materials on the table. He smiled helplessly, it must have been Rappers who had seen his performances last summer and decided to listen to him as much as possible, which led to the staff bringing over all the player profiles. If it were last year, Rappers would have screened it by himself first, and I thought it would be a lazy thing to be lazy by the way.

Chang Wei didn't care very much, the way he chose the core players was very simple, while flipping through the player information, he just checked the thunderous names in his previous life. Although basketball games are not simply won by stacking up stars, the long history of the NBA shows that from ancient times to the present, there will be several top superstars in the team that can win the championship, and in many cases there is more than one. When the tactics are limited by the opponent, just give the ball to the star to solve the problem, which is the biggest meaning of the star in every team.

Bored flipping through the player information, Chang Wei felt a little headache. In fact, after the 1998 draft, the NCAA has not had any top-notch stars in recent seasons. This year, Maddy, Pierce, Carter, a group of future superstars have joined the NBA, which can be regarded as the last glory of the Pan 96 Golden Generation, if nothing else, the next draft year will be 2003, during which it is normal for high school players to have no good seedlings.

However, Chang Wei still saw a few familiar names, and if these people can be recruited into the team, then the NCAA championship in the 98-99 season is basically Villanova's bag.

Steve Francis, the leader of Yao Ming when he first joined the Rockets in his previous life, was respectfully called Boss Francis, but it is a pity that Francis's experience in recent years is really tragic. In the fall of 1995, a friend applied for a chance to take a prep program at the University of Connecticut, but Francis couldn't afford the high tuition fees and left Connecticut in November of the same year. In 1996, Francis competed in the NCAA Under-19 Reserve Age League with the University of Maryland Reserve Team. In 1997, Francis was spotted by Jacinto Youth University in Texas, leading the team to a 36-1 record and reaching the NJCAA tournament.

In 1998, Francis returned to his hometown of Maryland to play at a tuition-free Allegany Community College, just a three-hour drive from his home in Taquema. As a sophomore, Francis averaged 25.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 5.3 steals per game there. Now he's interested in joining an NCAA Division I school, so scouts have gathered his player profiles as well.

Mike Miller, a white pitcher born in South Dakota to a basketball family, is 2.03 meters tall and plays as a swingman. Of course, Chang Wei's deepest impression of his previous life was his friendship with Maddie, it is said that Maddie's strong request to be traded was because the Magic traded Miller without saying hello to him, in other words, Miller's departure from Orlando changed Maddy's career, so this white pitcher made Chang Wei feel impressed.

There's also a good No. 3 or No. 4 swingman, Richard Jefferson, who attended Moonvalley High School in Arizona and helped Moonvalley High School win the Arizona Basketball Championship this year. As one of the Nets troika alongside Carter and Kidd, Jefferson's strength is undoubted, and the only thing that is a little difficult is that the University of Arizona may take advantage of its geographical advantages, after all, Jefferson joined the University of Arizona in his previous life.

Looking at the three player profiles screened out, Chang Wei couldn't help but sigh, this is too big a gap compared to last year. Last year, not to mention that there were top stars like Maddie to improve the overall quality, even from the perspective of quantity alone, there was a lot of choice, but this year's top high school stars are too few to start, and people don't know where to start.

In Chang Wei's opinion, even if Villanova recruits these three players, it will be difficult to replicate the miracle of the previous undefeated championship in the 98-99 season. Players like Terry, Hamilton and Artest have all decided to stay for another year, and these teams that have been running in for a season or two will undoubtedly be Villanova's fierce rivals, not to mention undefeated, whether they can win the championship is a question, and they may not even make it to the final four.

However, for Chang Wei, his work of recommending the target has come to an end, and all that remains is to give his opinion to Lappers and let him make a decision. As for Chang Wei himself, at most, he will lobby the players like he did with Maddie last year, and the rest of the work will have to wait until the whole team gathers before starting.

Although Chang Wei believes that with the help of the system, he can build a king division again, but after all, he is lazy by nature, so what's wrong with being able to win high school stars and build a team with a better foundation? In this way, at least it doesn't take too much effort to adjust, and reducing the difficulty of work is simply a necessary skill for every professional!
