God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 76 Accidental Encounter
This year's NCAA Final Four was held in San Antonio, Texas. This is another city that is far away from Villanova, but it is much better than California, which had to fly to the west coast before.

Rappers was not in a hurry to take the team to San Antonio in advance, but took the team back to school first, let everyone rest for two days, and then boarded the flight to San Antonio calmly.Chang Wei is full of expectations for this city. He was a die-hard Spurs fan in his previous life, so he was very excited when he played against Wake Forest University in Villanova. Now he is going to San Antonio. Even some can't sleep.

When we set off the next day, everyone gave Chang Wei's dark circles a ambiguous smile, as if to say: "It's okay, we understand..." Chang Wei really wanted to say: "Every one of you understands everything. , I’m just excited because I’m going to San Antonio?” But it’s impossible for him to explain it to everyone, and it’s impossible for others to listen, so he just keeps silent.

Unexpectedly, even Rappers, who has always been prudent, came over and said, "Chang, I know that you young people have good physical strength, but you must exercise restraint. You should still get enough sleep at night." Chang Wei didn't want to refute him anymore, so he just rolled his eyes and found his own place to catch up on sleep.

When Chang Wei woke up, the plane was about to land. At this time, Chang Wei was extremely thankful that he was not one of those big-bodied players, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep well in the economy class.The business class seat is wide enough, but it is impossible to buy business class tickets for them with the school's budget. It would be nice to not use the school bus to send the team to Texas.

After arriving at the hotel where they stayed, the players went back to their rooms and fell asleep, but Chang Wei was a little energetic.He said hello to Kyle Thompson, the physical coach in the same room, and ran to Rappers' room to report, then left the hotel alone, wandering around in the streets of San Antonio stand up.

Although the Spurs are a small-market team, San Antonio is actually not a small city. It is the second largest city in Texas, second only to Houston, where the Rockets are located, and the ninth largest city in the United States.The city's economic development is diversified, and financial services, government, medical care and tourism are its four major economic pillars.In addition, among the millions of permanent residents in San Antonio, more than [-]% are Hispanics, which is the city with the highest proportion of Hispanics in the United States.

Since San Antonio was originally a settlement of Indians and developed into the largest Spanish settlement in Texas in the mid-18th century, the cultural atmosphere of the city is quite exotic.In the streets and alleys of San Antonio, the relics of Spanish culture can be seen everywhere, while the national color of Mexico is always eye-catching, coupled with the traditional culture of American Indians, the cultural diversity makes this city unforgettable.

And San Antonio is also famous for its prosperous and green riverside promenade.Along the 4.5-kilometer-long San Antonio River, there are restaurants, hotels, roadside cafes, tourist souvenir shops, theaters, museums and other buildings, all of which are located in the river valley below the city street level. Looking down the street, you can see the big trees all over the valley, which is spectacular. This is also a must-see attraction for every tourist who comes to San Antonio.

Chang Wei held a map provided by the hotel front desk in his hand, and wandered all the way to the riverside pedestrian street.Fortunately, his height is only 1 meters. This height is outstanding in China, but it is very common in foreign countries, so there is no need to worry about being watched.If they were replaced by McGrady and Brand, they would definitely be regarded as rare animals on the street.

It's warm and cold in March in Texas, but the riverside walk is still full of tourists, even in the open-air seats, there are also people sitting there with coffee and talking.Chang Wei felt a little cold, so he decided to find a seat and order a cup of coffee to warm up, but he couldn't find a single empty seat when he looked around.

In fact, Chang Wei is not a particularly extroverted person. If he can, he will always choose a single seat, but now it seems that he can only share a table with other people?He smiled helplessly, took the coffee and walked to a white-haired old man, and asked softly, "Is there anyone sitting in this empty seat?"

The old man was silent for a while, as if he just woke up from thinking.He raised his head and glanced at Chang Wei, and said casually, "There's no one sitting here, please go ahead!"

When he saw the old man's face clearly, Chang Wei couldn't help but widen his eyes, and almost spilled all the coffee in his hand on the ground.He never thought that he would meet such a legend when he casually went out for a stroll, that is the head coach of the Spurs, Gregg Popovich!Although he has only coached the Spurs for two seasons now, Chang Wei knows that he will become the greatest head coach in the NBA, not even one of them. The Spurs' ability to maintain super competitiveness after entering the 21st century is entirely due to the old man in front of him. handwriting.The Silver and Black Legion can live without Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Parker, but they can't live without Popovich!
Facing such a great god, Chang Wei even lowered his footsteps a lot, for fear of offending this eccentric old man.After carefully sitting down on the chair, Chang Weisi decided to say hello to his idol in his previous life after much deliberation: "Hi Bobo, I'm your fan, I can't believe I can meet you here!"

Popovich raised his head again, as if to re-examine the yellow-skinned Asian in front of him.He took a sip of his coffee, still expressionless on his stiff face, and after looking Chang Wei up and down, he asked with great interest: "Oh? This is the first time someone said they were my fans, you Shouldn't it be a fan of Tim or David?"

Chang Wei said very honestly: "Your coaching is simply an art. Is it any wonder that it is your fans? As for David Robinson and Tim Duncan, I have only seen the former on TV, but I Our team has played against the latter, unfortunately, we lost the game..."

Popovich felt more and more that the kid in front of him was very interesting. After thinking for a while, he asked in surprise: "You are already the head coach of a team at such a young age? You are really a formidable young man!"

Chang Wei touched his nose, and a blush of embarrassment flashed on his face: "Master, you misunderstood, I am not the head coach of the team, I am just a little trainer!"
