Chapter 42: The Primary Goal
Lappers patiently scans through the player profiles screened by each member of the coaching staff, some of whom are quite bright, others who are lackluster, and some of whom are completely ignorant, as if they were blindly selecting with their eyes closed. Even if you're not a professional scout, why don't you give some advice from the perspective of your own work?
Chang Wei's screening results are placed at the bottom, who let him sit in the corner? However, seeing his name, Lappers held his breath slightly, he still remembers that Chang Wei said that he hoped to have enough say in the team's recruitment, but at that time Lappers only gave an ambiguous answer, because he was not sure if Chang Wei was as capable in selecting players as he was in injury recovery, and today is undoubtedly a good opportunity for him to prove himself.
To Lappers's surprise, Chang Wei wrote his opinion in each of the player profiles he picked, although he didn't write much because of the time, but basically in one sentence, briefly explaining why a certain player is suitable for the team, and what hidden dangers need to be prevented.
Lappers has always believed that there are geniuses in this world, but this word is obviously inaccurate on Chang Wei, this guy is a demon! Of course, judging from Chang Wei's travel experience alone, he is indeed a demon, and now he has to use the memories of his previous life to help the team recruit stronger high school players.
When Lappers put out the player information screened by Chang Wei, the whole conference room was silent, everyone was stunned by his excellent comments, and even expressed support when Rappers asked everyone to speak enthusiastically. Just kidding, the head coach took out Chang Wei's model, obviously satisfied with his choice, as long as his IQ has not gone offline, he will not make a brain-dead move against it at this time, but whether he can recruit all these players is still a problem.
After agreeing on the agreement, Rappers began to assign tasks, and he exclaimed, "I think the first target is Elton Brand from Piekskill High School in New York, and he will help us maintain the advantage on the inside after Thomas is gone......"
Before he could finish speaking, Chang Wei interrupted him: "I'm sorry, Mr. Coach, I think we should fight for Maddie to join first, if we don't start as soon as possible, he will participate in this year's NBA draft!" ”
The team's head assistant coach, Michael Larkin, immediately stood up and objected: "Chang, you know, whoever wins the center wins the world, although Brand is short, he is already the best interior player among this high school student. If we can recruit him, we can continue to use our current tactics for the next season. ”
Chang Wei smiled slightly: "But our tactics this season are not enough for us to win the NCAA championship, right?" ”
Larkin choked on his words, and he found that he couldn't refute them. Everyone can see that in the national semi-finals, Villanova suffers from the staffing, they can't come up with an effective small lineup to play against Arizona, so what's the use of recruiting an interior player who moves slower than Thomas?
However, in order to let his colleagues get off the stage, Chang Wei still reassured: "Michael, I know that Brand is an excellent interior player, and I am also very optimistic about him, but it all depends on the direction of the new season's tactics." ”
Then he looked at Lappers, who was in a dilemma, and asked with a smile: "Coach, I think you should already have an answer to this question." To play slow, there's no doubt that we're going to have to play against Brand first, but if we want to play fast-paced, then I'm still sticking with my opinion, we have to get Maddie first. ”
Most coaches hesitate for a long time when faced with this problem, but fortunately, Rappers himself is also a decisive person, but he prefers to hide this side of himself under the spring breeze and rain. He pondered for a while, and said decisively: "Then we will divide the army into two ways, Michael, you go and persuade Brand, I can promise him the position of the core of the inner line." As for Maddie, I'll go over with Chang to talk to him, any player who dares to join the NBA when he graduates from high school will have his own pride, and I personally went over to give him enough courtesy. Of course, the other players need to be kept an eye on. ”
Chang Wei knew that this was already the biggest concession that Rappers was willing to make, but he didn't plan to go with Rappers to see Maddie, in his previous life, he knew more about Maddie, knew what this guy valued, and also knew what hidden dangers his body had.
And he had a reason that was enough for Rapus to lobby Brand!
"I think I can handle Maddie on my own, coach, you should pay more attention to Brand. According to me, now that Duke University has begun recruiting Brand, they are much more attractive than we are. If you really want to get him, it's a good idea to sit in person. ”
Chang Wei didn't reveal where his news came from, but Rappers subconsciously believed him, because he vaguely knew some things before Chang Wei joined Villanova, who had indeed dealt with Duke, and it was possible to save a little network at this time. In fact, he still thinks that Brand is more worth fighting for, and if he gets Brand, Maddie will be dispensable, so it seems that Chang Wei can visit him by himself?
Without much hesitation, Rappers readily agreed to Chang Wei's request and let the latter talk to Maddie himself. However, he is not too optimistic about this, and anyone who plans to skip college and go straight to the NBA will have their own reasons, and Maddie is definitely more inclined to participate in the draft, and it is almost impossible to pull him to Villanova.
But Chang Wei didn't think so, he even had some snickering, after all, he was a die-hard fan of Maddie in his previous life, and this goodbye idol undoubtedly made him very excited. It was difficult to convince Maddie to play in the NCAA for a year instead of going straight to the NBA, but Chang Wei believed he could convince his idol to join, and he believed he knew the talented swingman better than anyone else.
After gladly taking over the task, Chang Wei pretended to be serious and said: "According to the feedback from the scouts, Maddie has sent a letter to the NBA draft office, and I don't have much time left, so I will fly to Florida tonight, everyone is waiting for my good news, I will bring this guy back." ”
