God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 161 Recommendation Letter

Since the other party didn't want to talk about it, Chang Wei didn't bother to ask, anyway, it wouldn't be such a shitty thing as kidnapping.I have no money and no rights, and kidnapping is a waste of cost. Is it interesting to do such a thankless thing?

Chang Wei calmly watched the car drive smoothly on the streets of San Antonio, but the route was very complicated, and he didn't know where he was going.After about ten minutes, the car finally stopped at the door of a small villa. As soon as Chang Wei got out of the car with his luggage, a familiar voice came: "You are really slow enough."

Chang Wei turned his head and saw that Popovich was sitting on a recliner in the yard, looking at him leisurely.Is this too slow?Chang Wei shrugged and said, "This is the earliest flight from New York to San Antonio. Can you blame me? Besides, I didn't sleep well last night, so I kept thinking about it." I still have obvious dark circles under my eyes.

Popovich laughed: "Don't worry, I'm just asking you a few questions on behalf of my teacher, and it's not an interview, you can just chat as friends, come and sit down first!"

There was an empty recliner next to Popovich, and Chang Wei was not polite, walked over to put his luggage aside, and lay down on it.I have to say that Mr. Popovich still enjoys it quite a bit. The afternoon sun in San Antonio is not so strong, and there are still some shade trees in the yard. It is a joy to move a recliner here at this time.

But Chang Wei didn't forget the business, he asked half lying down: "Don't you need to watch the players practice today? I remember that you have a home game tonight, and the opponent is quite tough..."

Popovich waved his hand lazily and said: "I know, but I have assistant coaches. If I do everything, why should they take the team's salary? Besides, I don't plan to talk to you for too long. , it doesn't matter at all."

Chang Wei gave Popovich a middle finger silently in his heart: Although he knows that the old man will always maintain a serious attitude towards the game, but I have to say that this answer is still very nonsensical, and it is also in line with his usual style of dealing with reporters .

Before Chang Wei could finish complaining in his heart, Popovich said again: "First of all, I have to confirm whether you have any desire to join. If you feel that your desire is not strong enough, then you can buy it back directly." Air ticket to New York."

Fuck!Grandpa, can you chat?Is it interesting to chat directly to death like this?Chang Wei found a new slot, but still said solemnly: "Yes, I would like to work with Coach Brown."

"Then please give me a reason to recommend you." Popovich said.

And you said it wasn't an interview?Father, you have rich experience in HR!Chang Wei said: "I helped Villanova and Colorado State each win an NCAA championship in the 1997-98 season and the 1999-2000 season?"

"Hmm... Colorado State's championship is a bit interesting, and Villanova's, do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with the strength of the players themselves? A combination of Battier, Tracy McGrady and Brand can blow everything up in the NCAA." .”

Chang Wei said unconvinced: "I recommended these players to the head coach, okay? Besides, do you always think they are so strong from the beginning? Didn't they be trained by me?" In order to be able to enter Larry Brown The coaching staff, Chang Wei also went all out, and he, who has always been low-key, directly revealed these secrets.

Hearing Chang Wei's rebuttal, Popovich couldn't help but widen his eyes, looked at Chang Wei from head to toe like an alien, and asked in a very suspicious tone: "Are you sure this is not yourself?" Blow it out?"

Chang Wei said angrily: "Are you sure I can blow it out by myself? If you don't believe me, you can ask Coach Rappers, and McGrady and the others can also ask. Do you think what they said in the draft The words are all false?"

Popovich nodded of course.Before Chang Wei broke out, he said to himself again: "Then you seem to be very suitable to be a scout, and the two freshman rookies who play the main force at Colorado State University this season may also be recommended by you." Right? In this case, I think I should consider robbing the teacher and digging you into the Spurs as a scout."

Chang Wei's face turned black: "I don't want to be a scout. Isn't a scout just responsible for passing on player information? It's useless not to influence the management's decision! Besides, isn't this an interview about a physical assistant? What do you mean?"

Popovich said with a smile: "Slip of the tongue, don't say it when you see my teacher... But you are really versatile, and recruiting you to the coaching staff is a lot of effort. It's a pity Ah, now our Spurs have no shortage of people, so I have to introduce you to my teacher." He took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Chang Wei, "Here, this is my recommendation letter for you, you Just take this and go directly to the First League Center in Philadelphia to find my teacher."

Chang Wei was taken aback: "Old man, it seems that you haven't asked a few questions yet? Are you sure you can pass the test?"

"I don't know your strength in player training, kid? I wrote the letter of recommendation yesterday afternoon, and even wrote your name on it. Why don't you ask me these few questions? Just pretend I'm free." Done."

Chang Wei really loses his temper now, no wonder there are so many jokes about Popovich in his previous life, just for his style, it's hard to think of less jokes!But no matter what, this is the first step to success. The seemingly serious questions answered are regarded as respecting the old and caring for the young, right?At least Popovich also gave a letter of recommendation, it would be fun if he just came here to chat.

Popovich handed over another room card: "You can stay here in San Antonio tonight, and it's not too late to go to Philadelphia tomorrow. Chang, you are a very interesting young man, I hope you can pass the teacher's test , to help him win a championship. He is too tired alone, I think you should be able to make him relax."

Popovich spoke very solemnly, and Chang Wei couldn't help becoming serious. He nodded and said, "Coach Brown is a head coach I respect very much. I think I will help him fulfill his wish. But let's say you are a Western football player. The head coach of the team? If the Spurs and the 76ers reach the Finals together, who do you want to win?"

Popovich gave him a blank look: "It's still a question? Of course it's the stronger one."
