Although some staff members stepped forward to interrogate, when Chang Wei took out Popovich's letter of recommendation, they were also very enthusiastic to show Chang Wei the way. As team insiders, they have a full view of everything, and they have long heard that the team wants to recruit a new physical assistant coach, although this guy who came to apply for the job is very young, but it cannot be underestimated.

Under the guidance of the staff, Chang Wei came to Larry Brown's office smoothly. The 76ers didn't play in the past two days, the whole arena was empty, and obviously the players got their precious vacation and didn't know where to go, but judging by the reaction of the team staff, Brown still showed up in his office today.

Looking at the heavy wooden door in front of him, Chang Wei knocked lightly, and an old voice faintly came from inside: "The door is not locked, come in directly!" The owner of the voice is obviously Brown, born in 1940, he is just 60 years old this year, and the voice is old and naturally reasonable, Chang Wei took a deep breath, pushed the door open and walked in.

Originally, Chang Wei thought that the NBA head coach's office would be luxurious, or it would be filled with all kinds of playbooks and videotapes, but he didn't expect Brown's office to look very simple, a huge desk, a huge bookcase, plus a coffee table, two rows of sofas and two swivel chairs, which is the only furniture in the entire office. What surprised Chang Wei even more was that Brown didn't even have a computer in his office, which seemed incredible.

Behind the desk sat a kind-faced old man, but his dress was very formal, with a black suit, a wide striped tie, and meticulously combed gray hair, all indicating that this was a man who took everything seriously. Chang Wei nodded secretly, it seems that Brown's very high requirements for the team are not just words, at least on the surface, it can be regarded as excellence.

In the face of Brown, the historic head coach, Chang Wei showed considerable respect, he bent down and bowed to Brown sincerely, and said with a peaceful expression: "Hello Coach Brown, I am a physical assistant coach recommended by Coach Popovich, my name is Chang Wei, Chinese, this is a letter of recommendation he wrote for me, please take a look." After speaking, Chang Wei respectfully took out the letter and put it on the table.

A smile appeared on Brown's face, and he reached out to take the letter of recommendation, but did not open it directly, but put it aside, such an action made Chang Wei's heart twitch. What's going on? Outright elimination? Will he just tell me that the team has recruited a qualified physical assistant coach, and then ask me to go straight to the airport to buy a ticket to fly back to New York?

However, Chang Wei guessed wrong, Brown put his hands together on the table, stared at him with burning eyes, and said: "Greg introduced you to me, saying that you are the strongest trainer he has ever met, and he must be able to serve as a physical assistant coach." But I don't know much about you yet, so I'd like you to introduce yourself in a little more detail, okay? ”

Chang Wei nodded, pondered for a while, and said loudly: "I graduated from Columbia University with a major in sports rehabilitation and a minor in sports psychology. He joined the Villanova University Wildcats in 1996-97 and was a trainer for the team, helping the team win the 1997-98 NCAA Championship. He later joined the Colorado Rams and won this year's championship. ”

"Over the course of those four seasons, I've tapped and trained a number of stars, including Tracy McGrady, Sean Battier and Elton Brand who have joined the NBA, Kyle Korver and David West, who have not yet been drafted this year, and Tim Thomas, the No. 7 pick in the first round in 1997, who I trained."

The expression on Brown's face didn't change, and he continued to ask, "How are you going to prove that what you say is the truth?" ”

I went, worthy of Popovich's teacher, and the questions asked by both the master and apprentice were exactly the same...... But Chang Wei couldn't help but answer: "I think you can go to the former coach of Villanova University, the current coach of Colorado State, and all the players I mentioned just now, and they can tell you whether my words are true or not." ”

Brown doesn't seem to want to dwell on this issue, and of course it can't be ruled out that he, like Popovich, just asked casually. The coach quickly changed the subject: "What do you think of my team?" Be honest! ”

Looking at Brown's sharp eyes, Chang Wei also let out: "Honestly, it's very ordinary." ”

"Now that the 76ers are in the top four in the East, and there are superstars like Allen on the team, why do you think it's average?"

Damn, you told me to be honest...... Chang Wei said categorically: "There is only one superstar in the team, AI, and others have not been able to bring him more help." The only reason to be in the top four in the East is that the AI is too powerful, but as long as he is restricted, then the whole team is completely doomed. ”

Chang Wei said as he could, and he couldn't help but think of the final battle between the 76ers VS Lakers in his previous life. Although Iverson scored 48 points in the first game to help the 76ers lead 1-0, he was alone in the next four games, averaging 35.6 points per game in the Finals but unable to lead the team to win.

Brown was noncommittal to Chang Wei's answer, and asked a new question: "If you were asked to join my coaching staff, how would you train the players?" Or rather, how to train Iverson? He's not a good-natured guy. ”

Chang Wei shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't give you an accurate answer to this question now, because I don't know what kind of person the AI is, what abilities he can continue to strengthen, and what shortcomings he needs to make up." But if I can help him train, I'm sure he'll be much better than he is now. ”

"I heard Greg say you're good at digging players? Would you like to consider taking care of the scouting department? ”

Depend on! Do I have two big words Scout written on the door of my head? I wouldn't have mentioned Maddie to you if I knew I wouldn't have mentioned them to you! Chang Wei, who was broken in his heart, turned dark: "Regarding player recruitment, I can give you advice, of course, whether to recruit players or not." And how it works, that's a matter for you and the management, and I'm only in charge of selecting the players that I think can play. ”

Brown nodded, stood up and shook hands with Chang Wei: "Thank you for your wonderful answer, then let's go here today, we will notify you as soon as there is a result, please keep the phone open at any time, this is outdated." ”
