God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 569
About two hours later, Chang Wei's phone rang again, and the same number was displayed on the screen.But Chang Wei is very clear that this is obviously not Yao Ming after the training, but the Chinese men's basketball coach Jonas.

After the call was connected, an English with a slight Eastern European accent sounded in Chang Wei's ears: "Hi, I'm Yunus, Yao recommended you to me, and I also learned about your resume, but I still want to see Let's see if you can take on this responsibility."

What Yunus said sounded very rude, but Chang Wei didn't take it to heart. He knew that Old You was such a tough coach, but as long as you can show a convincing performance, he will give you corresponding courtesy .What's more, trainers are very important to a team, and it is understandable for Lao You to be cautious. This just shows that he attaches great importance to the Olympic journey.

After serving Villanova, Colorado State University, 76ers, Pistons and Bobcats, Chang Wei is no longer the rookie who went to Duke University for an interview but was directly eliminated by Old K.His reputation in the American basketball circle is not small, and there are not a few stars who have been trained by him. These are the best compliments for a professional trainer.

Faced with Yunus' test, Chang Wei seemed very calm, and his answer made Yunus very satisfied.After the departure of the former trainer on the coaching staff, Jonas couldn't sleep well, but now he thinks he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.After the telephone interview, Yunus formally invited Chang Wei to hire him as the trainer of the Chinese men's basketball team. However, Yunus also had a request. Now that the time for the BJ Olympics is running out, he hopes that Chang Wei able to return home as soon as possible.

Chang Wei agreed without hesitation, and this is what it should be. It is impossible that the men's basketball team over there has already started preparing for the game, and you are still leisurely dawdling around as a trainer. It might not be too easy, either.

After hanging up the phone, Chang Weilue thought about it and made another call. He booked himself a flight ticket to BJ the next morning, which was the fastest speed he could achieve.Then Chang Wei called Jackson, Harmon and all the active NBA players who planned to continue training with him during the offseason this summer, telling them that he needed to return to China immediately to join the coaching staff of the Chinese men's basketball team. BJ prepares for the Olympic men's basketball competition.

After hearing the news, Jackson was taken aback, which meant that Chang Wei would not be able to participate in the team's season summary meeting.However, in Jackson's view, playing for the national team is a rare honor in everyone's career, whether it is a player or a coach. Chang Wei can work for his country's Olympic team, and he will definitely not hold him back.Not only that, Jackson also promised to help Chang Wei ask for leave from the team management. After all, Chang Wei is a member of his coaching staff.

Harmon's reaction was similar to Jackson's, but she said that she would fly to BJ to join Chang Wei on the eve of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and give some advice to the guys in the men's basketball team.Chang Wei couldn't help but laugh at Harmon's joke, but he knew that now was not the time to correct his girlfriend with a stern face, so he could only say: "Honey, I will book a hotel room for you in advance, and you can directly bring You can come here with your luggage, but watching the team training still requires the approval of the head coach..."

As for the players headed by Ray Allen and McGrady, they feel very sorry. They don't quite understand Chang Wei's mood to play for the national team. After all, for NBA stars, they have the right to refuse the call-up of the US men's basketball team.Of course, Chang Wei won't explain too much, he just apologized to them again and again, and made an appointment to conduct targeted training together during next year's offseason.

Chang Wei slept soundly that night, he didn't feel any pressure at all, and when he arrived at the airport early the next morning, he looked energized.Originally, Chang Wei planned to call his parents before boarding the plane to tell them the news that he was going back to China, but in the end he decided to surprise the two elders, and it would not be too late to call when he arrived in BJ.

After nearly a day's long journey, Chang Wei finally arrived at the Capital International Airport. He was surprised that now the whole city was shrouded in the atmosphere of the Olympic Games.Banners of the five rings of the Olympic Games and words of welcome have long been hung in the airport hall, and flags of the five rings and the Chinese national flag can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road. It is obvious that China has poured great enthusiasm into this Olympic Games.

The Basketball Association made very thoughtful arrangements, and they probably didn't want to offend the head coach Jonas and the team's number one star Yao Ming. Chang Wei soon saw the staff of the Basketball Association who came to pick him up to the training base, and he drove An ordinary small car.Chang Wei has nothing dissatisfied with this, he is not a top superstar after all, this kind of treatment just corresponds to his status.

The men's basketball team's training base is located in the suburbs of BJ. Chang Wei guessed it was because Jonas didn't want his players to waste their energy on other things.Chang Wei was noncommittal. The NBA rarely has such regulations. It is not uncommon for players to have fun before and after games. However, considering the overall strength of the men's basketball team and their goals in this Olympic Games, Jonas' arrangement It can be said that they are well-intentioned, and it is also conducive to Chang Wei to formulate a higher-intensity training plan for them.

An hour and a half later, the car stopped at the entrance of an arena in the suburbs of BJ. The surrounding area looked desolate, not even a canteen.Chang Wei took out his luggage from the trunk of the car, and when he looked up, he saw Yonas and Yao Ming standing at the entrance of the arena to welcome him.Only now did Chang Wei have time to look at the coach whom he had seen countless times on TV in his previous life. Lao You was wearing a tracksuit and his gray hair was combed meticulously. It seemed that he attached great importance to Chang Wei's arrival, otherwise there was no need to Come out to meet.

Chang Wei strode forward, and after hugging each other with Yao Ming, he extended his hand and shook hands with Yunus, and said with a smile, "Coach, thank you for giving me a chance to work with you. It is an honor for them to work together for the Olympic Games, and I hope my professional skills can bring some help to you and the team, so that they can better deal with the game."

There was also a smile on Yunas's face, he nodded and said: "Time is tight now, if possible, I hope you will start working tomorrow, and for the rest of today's time apart from jet lag, it is best to make a training plan If there is no problem, you can go to rest for a while, or chat with Yao about the situation of the national team. The dormitory has been prepared for you."

Chang Wei nodded and said, "I have no problem. I will hand over the training plan to you tomorrow."
