God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 2 Blue Devil Duke
Perhaps because he was thinking about buying newspapers, Damon didn't come back from playing until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening as usual. Chang Wei heard the doorbell just after the pointer reached ten o'clock.

"Why doesn't this guy even bring a key?" Chang Wei muttered, getting up to open the door for Damon.

He couldn't help laughing as soon as the door opened. Damon was holding a basketball in one hand and a thick stack of newspapers in the other. It looked like there were seven or eight copies. No wonder he couldn't move his hand to open the door.

Before Chang Wei could speak, Damon threw the newspaper on the table, grabbed his huge cup and drank a few sips of water, waved his hand and said, "I'm a little late, but fortunately there are still some in stock, basically The rest of the newspapers in the newsstand are here. You read slowly, I'll take a shower first, the weather is really hot..."

Looking at Damon who took off only a pair of underwear in a few moments and ran to the bathroom humming a little tune, Chang Wei felt his eyes were a little moist.He quickly wiped his eyes, sat down at the table and began to browse today's newspaper.

I have to say that Damon is quite reliable. There are almost all the major newspapers in the United States, such as "USA Today" and "Wall Street Journal".Chang Wei didn't intend to waste time either. He took out a pen, picked up a newspaper, and opened the page of the recruitment advertisement to read it carefully.

But to Chang Wei's helplessness, he read three or four newspapers in a row, but he didn't see any basketball-related recruitment.He smiled helplessly, now is not more than ten or twenty years later, whether it is high school, college or various professional and semi-professional teams, they are more accustomed to recruiting needed talents through management contacts, rather than in newspapers. Cast a net for fish.

As a student who has not graduated long ago, and is still a Chinese, Chang Wei has absolutely no personal relationships that can be called personal connections.For him, there are only two choices, either running around like an idiot to recommend himself to various teams, or relying on luck to find opportunities in the newspapers like now.

Chang Wei never had the extravagant hope of joining an NBA team directly, not even the NCAA giants. As long as he can join any college team to exercise, it will be very good.If it's the next best thing, the high school team is not out of the question, although Chang Wei doesn't like to deal with little kids no matter in his past life or this life.

Soon the newspapers that Damon bought were almost read by Chang Wei. What left him speechless was that there were no advertisements for recruiting trainers in the newspapers, and there were not even any other jobs related to basketball. Too many to count, but it's a pity that Chang Wei didn't plan to just find a job to make ends meet.

He rubbed his face vigorously, and looked at the last newspaper that he hadn't had time to read.It was the Los Angeles Times, and it was hard for Damon to buy it in a small eastern city like Newcastle.This Newcastle is not the famous port city in the British Isles, but a small place in Delaware, with an area of ​​only 8.3 square kilometers.

Although this newspaper is rare, Chang Wei has no hope. After all, the previous big newspapers such as "New York Times" and "Wall Street Journal" have disappointed him, and "Los Angeles Times" should be no exception.

But soon Chang Wei saw the information he had been looking for in various job advertisements.It's no wonder that he saw this not-so-long recruitment at a glance. He was so familiar with the logo on the upper left corner. Even though it was only in black and white, he could still see the weird portrait with leaf-shaped pointed ears.

Duke Blue Devils!

This is an undisputed giant in the NCAA. Although it has only won two national championships so far, Chang Wei knows how strong this team is under Krzyzewski, the old coach K.And they also contributed many stars to the NBA, including Grant Hill, who was once hailed as Jordan's successor.

Looking down, Chang Wei frowned. Duke was not recruiting a trainer, but an assistant coach. It seemed that it was not suitable for him.As a basketball enthusiast, Chang Wei naturally knew what the assistant coach had to do. In short, he was responsible for turning the content formulated by the head coach into reality. He was not very interested in such work.

But after all, this is Duke, and working for the Blue Devils is probably the dream of most people in the circle, and this is a golden opportunity.Of course, the position of assistant coach is not what Chang Wei wants to fight for, but the temptation to work for Duke is too great. Chang Wei decided to seize this opportunity, even if it is good to show his face.

When Damon came out of the shower, Chang Wei told him about his plan to apply for a job at Duke.Damon didn't say anything, and he didn't laugh at Chang Wei's overthinking.He has always believed that his good friend is capable, and the reason why he can only stay in this small place with him now is simply because he has no chance.

But now that the opportunity has come, Damon will naturally not hold back Chang Wei, but has full confidence in him.More importantly, Newcastle is not far from Durham, North Carolina, where Duke University is located. It takes about 7 hours by car. You can also choose to travel by bus or plane, and the time is not too long.

Damon hoped that his good friend would be in the best condition to attend the interview at Duke University. He thought for a while and said, "Chang, it's not too close to drive to Duke from here. I suggest you go to Philadelphia first, and then fly to Duke University." Better to go to Raleigh, then to Duke."

Chang Wei smiled and refused. He didn't intend to be so extravagant. Although the red-eye flights in the United States are relatively cheap, since you can drive there, why waste the ticket money?Although Damon has a little savings because he often participates in some competitions, sometimes it is better to save a little money if he can not spend money.

It happened that Damon himself had a second-hand Chevrolet, and Chang Wei had already obtained an American driver's license, so it was not a big problem to drive from Newcastle to Duke University.Damon couldn't resist him, so he obediently took out the car keys.

Chang Wei said that the time to apply for the job should be early rather than late, and he plans to leave early tomorrow morning.Damon naturally wanted to sleep in, so he took out the key and handed it to Chang Wei in advance, so that he would not wake himself up in the morning.Chang Wei didn't say thank you either, since the two of them could wear a pair of pants, it would be too far-fetched to say that.

After saying goodnight to each other, Damon yawned and climbed onto the bed. Chang Wei tidied up the messy desktop a little, then lay down on his own bed, and fell asleep in a short while.
