Chang Wei's guess is very correct, and teams such as Duke, North Carolina, and Kentucky have set their sights on other high-school talents who are in the limelight, and they are dismissive of small roles like West and Korver.

In fact, in their previous life, they joined a team that was not a big club, West played for Xavier University, and Korver played for Creston University. If Xavier University is a pseudo-powerhouse that regularly reaches national championships, then Clayton University is a small team through and through, probably worse than most of Colorado.

And this time, obviously the Colorado State and Duke game in the National Championship gave them a lot of confidence, and if they can't join a big team, it seems like a good choice to come here and be a dark horse. The recruiting staff didn't bother much, and West and Korver happily signed their names on the signing agreement, which meant they would play in Colorado jerseys for the 1999-2000 season.

When the news came back, Chang Wei was in his office for a while, and this time he really saw the hope of the team winning the championship. In addition, he has a little bit of caution, which is to make West and Korver's draft picks higher than in his previous life, especially Korver, who was the No. 51 pick in 2003 and almost bottomed out.

Chang Wei is fully confident that he can make West and Korver stronger through systematic targeted training, and naturally they will reach a higher level than in their previous lives. And when both of them become very tough, can the team's record be any worse?

After identifying the two new signings, McKay asked Chang Wei to hurry up and lobby Goodwin in the hope that he would give up his starting position and become the two leading points in the bench along with Svensey. Chang Wei couldn't help but scold MMP in his heart, and threw me everything that offended people, right? But for the sake of the team's record, he still endured.

Goodwin was surprised by Chang Wei's arrival, but when Chang Wei explained his intentions, he sat alone in his chair and was silent. Goodwin knew he was going to play as a substitute for the good of the team, but despite this awareness, he still didn't understand it, after all, he was the second man in the team last season after Palesio.

Chang Wei said bitterly: "Cedric, we will bring in a big man this year, and I have to be very honest with you, his talent is still above yours, so the head coach and I both think that he should be the starting power forward." Of course, I'm not saying that you can't be good, you were the team's number one interior player last season, but now we agree that you can play as a substitute to make the overall strength of the team go to the next level, and there is more hope of hitting the championship. ”

Goodwin was silent for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Can you guarantee that the team will win the championship this season?" ”

Chang Wei groaned and said in a deep voice: "I can't guarantee it, but we will do our best, and this 'we' of course includes you, you are a part of the team, you can ask yourself if you have the confidence to compete for the championship." ”

Listening to Chang Wei's answer, Goodwin took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay, I agreed." ”

Chang Wei glanced at him with some surprise, he still has a certain understanding of the psychology of players, every player knows what to do to maximize the overall strength of the team, but when they need to make sacrifices, it is not certain. Chang Wei himself didn't expect Goodwin to make a compromise so quickly, he thought he would waste more saliva!

After getting rid of the veteran players, Chang Wei and the others waited for the new recruits to come and report. I have to say that West and Korver are very dedicated players in their previous lives and now, although they have not yet entered the NBA and can only get a basketball scholarship from the school, they still come to the school in advance to report, hoping to cultivate a tacit understanding with their new teammates as soon as possible.

Looking at these two familiar but somewhat unfamiliar faces, Chang Wei felt a little emotional. West is still honest, and Korver is still a fair-skinned handsome guy, the only difference from them in his memory is that the younger versions of them are all immature, with some fear and expectation for their NCAA career.

But now is not the time to go up to say hello, the protagonist must be the head coach McKay, who has already sent a notice of today's gathering in the training hall, the main purpose is to introduce two new signings to the old players. The training thing will be slowed down for a while, and everyone will recognize their faces first, so that they can have more contact in the next time, after all, they are teammates who will fight side by side for at least one season.

For the addition of West and Korver, the veteran players are still more supportive, and they have also heard that these two were recruited after Chang Wei and McKay discussed together. McKay is just the head coach, Chang Wei is a guy who made a big splash in last year's draft, although he didn't appear at the draft meeting, but there is a legend of him in the rivers and lakes. Since he is optimistic about these two rookies, they will definitely have their own strengths and will also have a positive impact on the team.

So everyone went up to say hello with a smile on their faces, even Goodwin, who was robbed of the starting power forward position, didn't make any mistakes, and even quickly hooked up with West, which made Chang Wei on the side almost stunned. What does it mean that you don't target or not, and put on a good look? No matter how you look at it, it looks like a lot of emotion!

After meeting their teammates, West and Korver were led by McKay to meet with the coaching staff. Chang Wei was of course the first, and McKay pointed at him and said to the two rookies: "This is the team's chief assistant coach and physical trainer, Chang Wei, Chinese, and your personal training will be under his control in the future." ”

Before they could step forward to express their admiration, Chang Wei pulled McKay aside and whispered, "When did I become the team's chief assistant coach?" Boss, can you inform me before the appointment? ”

McKay smiled and said, "What does it matter?" Anyway, now that you are the most capable and prestigious among the assistant coaches, isn't that the natural head assistant coach? Don't care about these details. ”

Chang Wei rolled his eyes and turned to talk to West and Korver. Since the head coach said that he was the team's head assistant coach, he had to take on the responsibility of head assistant coach. Of course, in Chang Wei's view, being responsible for player training is still his main and most important task, and this is also the foundation of the entire team.
