God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 35
Looking at the poor reputation in the Miracle Mall, Chang Wei almost spat out old blood. If he knew that he would not have exchanged Thomas for the strength potion when he played against Wake Forest University.There are also potions for the whole team in the shopping mall. Although the improvement for each player is not much, everyone together is a force that cannot be underestimated.

Now Chang Wei can only look at the props that the team has improved. At this time, the plank theory cannot be considered. Sometimes the strength of the team does not depend on how weak the weakest player is, but on the strength of the strongest player. How strong.The only good news is that Carter and Jamison are both outside players, while Thomas is an inside player. The closer to the basket on the basketball court, the easier it is to score. The overall shooting rate increases as the distance from the basket decreases. Undeniable truth.

There are still a few days before the semi-finals of the division. Chang Wei seizes all available time to give special training to several main players, especially Li and Ke Engai. .

As for Thomas, his special training is better than nothing, and Chang Wei believes that he can completely crush Okuraja on the inside.Speaking of Nuo Tianwang's partner in the national team in later generations, anyone will think of the blond Kaman. Who still remembers this guy with an awkward name?It shows that this guy's strength may not be as strong as imagined.

In the past few days, Li and Ke Engai have been dying. Every day, Chang Wei will give them hell-style training and constantly change their opponents.In fact, in just a few days, the overall strength of these two guys will not improve much, but they must have the courage and confidence to break the boat.

But many things are often not as smooth as expected. At the beginning of the game, Jamison scored consecutive goals on Cohen's head. The latter has worked hard to defend, but his strength is just a piece of cake for Jamison.Li is not much better. The only good thing is that now Carter is still behind Jamison. In other words, he does not have so many opportunities to attack with the ball. Get blown up.

Watching them being crushed by their opponents on the field, Chang Wei sat on the sidelines and shook his head helplessly. Meeting Jamison and Carter was simply a nightmare that could not be woken up. Any opposing player would be exhausted physically and mentally.Although their dominance is not as good as Duncan's, their scoring ability is better than Duncan's. With the addition of Shamond, this is North Carolina's troika.

Rappers also frowned and lamented again and again, what could he say?Blame Villanova for being the No. 4 seed, and North Carolina in the upper half?Or blame Li and Keengai for not being able to stop each other's Gemini?
He glanced at Chang Wei and frowned even tighter.Whether it was Thomas or Irwin before, when they were in trouble on the field, Chang Wei was always able to solve the problem lightly. Sometimes Rappers even thought, if this kid knows something about tactics, doesn’t he? Want to take your place?
But this time, Rappers could clearly feel that Chang Wei was also helpless, watching Jamison and Carter wreak havoc on the court.The only thing that makes Rappers feel a little relieved is that Thomas' performance has not been affected. If it weren't for his continuous scoring, Villanova would have been directly blown up.

Seeing that North Carolina had a tendency to widen the point difference, Rappers quickly called a timeout.At the end of the break, Li looked exhausted, and Keengai was even more miserable. He looked like he was going to faint at any time.Indeed, although Carter will be stronger than Jamison in the future, Jamison is still North Carolina's number one star and the team's scoring leader. It is simply too difficult for an unprofessional perimeter defender like Cohenge to match Jamison.

Seeing the fatigue of the two generals, Rappers can only choose to let them rest off the court for a while, otherwise it is still a question of whether they can last in the second half.However, Tomasi rejected the coach's request. He also plausibly said: "To put it bluntly, the focus of the whole team's scoring is now on the inside. We are tired, and the North Carolina players are also very tired, but I think I will I can still stand it, and while they are resting, I hope to narrow the point difference or even tie it..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head by Rappers and shouted loudly: "Idiot, if you don't take the opportunity to rest for a while, what will you do when North Carolina sends the main force to fight again? At that time, I saw that your legs were weak? Now sit on the bench for me and recover your strength, don't be like a fool!"

Thomas sat down with a flushed face, what Rappers said was indeed reasonable.In any team, unless the inside players are very talented, the average playing time is not as good as that of the outside players, because their height and weight are both sharp weapons and cumbersome, and too much playing time will bring harm to their bodies. Great pressure, and even shortened career.

As a famous basketball school, North Carolina not only has a very luxurious starting lineup, but also has a thick bench. Logically, North Carolina should have an advantage if they fight for the bench, but Celestand played a super-level performance at Villanova.That is to say, Rappers hopes to use defense to limit North Carolina. If there is a big confrontation, it is a good choice to let Celestand start.

Relying on Celestand's unreasonable shooting, Villanova has narrowed the point difference to single digits when the two sides re-distributed the main players.In order to prevent North Carolina from widening the gap again, the Villanova players who had already rested put all their energy into feeding, especially Cohen Gai, who was completely using his life to defend.

Stalking is no longer enough to describe him. Even if Jamison made a thunderous breakthrough dunk, he tried to block the block without fear of death, and he didn't care whether he would be injured.His behavior inspired other teammates. For a while, Villanova's defensive strength was greatly improved, even though North Carolina had a strong offensive firepower.

At the end of the first half, with Irwin's lucky three-pointer from a long distance, Villanova narrowed the point difference to 6 points and fell behind only 32 to 38.It is already a huge victory for Villanova to limit North Carolina to 38 points in the half. North Carolina averaged nearly 90 points per game this season, and 50 points in the half is easy for them.

But for the Villanova team, this is not enough. They have proved that North Carolina is not invincible, but whether they can win this crucial game depends on the remaining 20 minutes of the second half.
