God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 5 Another Chance

Maybe it was because of the short-term round trip between Newcastle and Durham, Chang Wei felt very tired and went to bed early that night, only to be woken up by the ringtone of the mobile phone at around 10 o'clock the next morning.

The voice was nice and the number was unfamiliar, but the other party's self-introduction made Chang Wei wake up instantly. It was the female assistant of old K. Chang Wei still remembered that her name was Allie Johnson.It's just that he was busy dealing with old K's questions at that time, and after the interview, he was in a rather disappointed state, and he didn't pay attention to what Ellie looked like at all.

While listening to the phone, Chang Wei frantically dressed. Although he wasn't talking face-to-face, it was a bit weird to call a girl with only a pair of underwear on.The news brought by Ai Li was as expected by Chang Wei. Duke University rejected him. Old K was more inclined to recruit an experienced old man than a rookie like Chang Wei who had graduated for more than a year.

Although the news was bad, Chang Wei didn't say much, and thanked Ellie politely.Just when he was about to hang up the phone, Allie said softly: "Chang, I still have a job here, do you want to try again?"

Still have a job?Chang Wei was taken aback, then overjoyed, but he still suppressed his joy and pretended to say indifferently: "Miss Johnson, can you tell me what kind of job this is first? Why are you so sure it's suitable for me?"

On the other end of the phone, Ellie chuckled and said, "Didn't you study sports rehabilitation? This job must be suitable for you. The situation is like this, and I also got the news a few days ago..."

It turned out that Ellie had an older brother named Laurie Johnson, who was now a video editor for the Villanova University Wildcats.When the two siblings were chatting on the phone a few days ago, Laurie revealed to his sister that the team is now in need of a professional trainer.

Last season, Villanova University's record was only 11 wins and 22 losses, largely because the team suffered a serious wave of injuries. Abandoned that poor trainer.

Because Ellie has worked for the Duke University Blue Devils for several seasons and has a lot of contacts in the NCAA league, Laurie hopes that her sister will have time to help him pay attention to whether there are suitable candidates, which can be regarded as helping the head coach to share his worries.Ellie also readily agreed. In her eyes, there is no life and death on the field, and she just considers it a favor for her brother.

However, she contacted several professional trainers working in other teams or private institutions, all of whom were unwilling to work at Villanova University for the simple reason that this university is not considered a top NCAA university.Although they have won one national championship in team history and reached the national semi-finals three times, this was at least ten years ago. Now they are just a mid-level team in the NCAA, and their reputation is even worse than that of Duke. And famous schools like North Carolina.

Although trainers don’t have the same record pressure as head coaches, basically everyone in the NCAA circle knows why the former trainer at Villanova University was fired, and it’s even less likely for everyone to jump into the pit by themselves. .Faced with their polite and firm refusal, Ai Li felt very helpless until she met Chang Wei.

When old K was interviewing Chang Wei, Ai Li had been quietly watching this somewhat unusual Chinese boy.Obviously he was interviewing an assistant coach he was not familiar with, but he was thinking hard about every question asked by Old K and answered it seriously.This kind of earnestness seems clumsy, but it makes people feel his love for basketball.

Later, when Old K asked her to inform Chang Wei that Duke would not hire him, a thought suddenly popped up in Ellie's mind: Should I introduce Chang Wei to the Wildcats of Villanova University where her brother is?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was quite reliable. After all, those well-known trainers were not interested in Villanova University, so it was better to find a passionate and capable newcomer, who might get unexpected results.That's why Ai Li invited Chang Wei to join Villanova University when she notified him.

After listening to Ellie's introduction, Chang Wei was silent. As a traveler, he certainly knew that Villanova University would become a strong team in the NCAA after entering the 21st century, and no one would laugh at them for being the same as Kentucky The team name (Wildcats), but now Villanova can only be regarded as a mid-range team.

But he thought about it again, what are mid-range teams afraid of?Their poor record last season was largely caused by injuries. Don't they have a human body potential development and repair system that looks crazy and cool?With this system, are you afraid that you can't solve the injury problem and help Villanova play a better record?
And according to the system itself, solving player injuries can allow the host to accumulate experience and popularity, and after reaching a certain level, the system can be upgraded to unlock other temporarily unavailable functions.If the system is as powerful as it says it is, it's not impossible to create an NCAA giant.

Thinking of the system in his consciousness, Chang Wei was filled with pride instantly. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Ms. Johnson, I also think this is a good opportunity. If possible, please tell your brother. I will go to Villanova, would love to have a drink with him and talk about the Wildcats recruiting trainer."

Ai Li didn't expect Chang Wei to agree so happily. She nodded repeatedly on the phone, regardless of whether Chang Wei could see it or not, and said with a smile: "Then I will tell my brother, what time is the appointment and where is it?" See you, I will let him call you, remember to keep your phone switched on at all times!"

After hanging up the phone, Chang Wei was still in a daze. It is true that Villanova is not as good as Duke, but for a young man, this platform is not too small. After all, it is an NCAA Division I ball. Team, this resume is tough wherever you take it, it is too convincing.Even if you don't know what's going on, it's good to have a look.

Chang Wei told Damon the news at the first time, but Damon was more excited than him, and kept saying that it must be fine, if Duke can't do it, can't Villanova do it?He also yelled for Chang Wei to treat guests to dinner quickly, saying that he had always wanted to go to the next block to eat the steak from that restaurant, and he just waited for Chang Wei to come back and have a good meal.

But from Chang Wei's point of view, this guy should be lucky that the place he's going this time is relatively close, so he can save some gas costs.Driving to Durham a few days ago made Damon feel bad. Villanova University is located in a town called Villanova on the northwest outskirts of Philadelphia, less than 40 miles from Newcastle. It will definitely not be burned this time. There was so much gasoline last time.
