God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 62 The Weird Influenza
In the NCAA record rankings this season, Villanova University can be said to be the best. Although their record will not affect teams that are not in the same league, they are just looking at the undefeated 15 wins and 0 losses. The record is scary enough.

Such a heaven-defying team is undoubtedly the focus of attention of the major media. Even Chang Wei, a thick-skinned guy, couldn't help but blush after reading the articles in those newspapers. It's moral, it blows Villanova into the sky, and even vaguely wants to be on par with UCLA led by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.You must know that the latter is a super team with 88 wins and 2 losses in three seasons, and the current Villanova is far behind them!
In addition to blowing the team, the players are also the focus of the media's hype.In the latest draft predictions, Villanova's three major stars McGrady, Brand and Battier are all predicted to be selected in the top ten picks, Brown and Allen are two role players plus Celestine De, the best sixth man, is also expected to be selected in the middle and late stages of the first round.

Chang Wei basically took this prediction as a joke.That's right, McGrady, Brand and Battier have the ability and potential to be selected in the top ten. In his previous life, Brand was the No. He was also the ninth overall pick in the first round in 1999. You must know that he was only a high school student at that time. Now that he has been tempered by the NCAA, he should go further than the ninth overall pick in his previous life, right?

Celestand still has hope of being selected in the first round, but to think that both Brown and Allen will be selected in the middle and late first rounds is too flattering to them, and even they themselves don't believe that there will be such a high pick.Brown is only looking for a second-round pick, and Allen is even worried about whether he can enter the NBA. Isn't this nonsense on the draft prediction website?

In fact, apart from the die-hard media, other media without fixed tendencies are the most annoying.When the team performs well, they are the ones who criticize the most. Once the performance is not good, they are the ones who criticize the most. It is really difficult for them to talk about people and nonsense.And any team is not afraid of killing with sticks, only afraid of killing with praise. After all, young players always have a hard work in their hearts, and belittling them will not work. Only by making them proud can a team be fundamentally destroyed.

There is no doubt that Villanova has suffered a lot of hype right now. Almost every newspaper that can be read on the market has blown them up. hate.The former team can still do work for the players, while the latter can only watch the opponents frantically target them.

Fortunately, Christmas is coming, which gives the Villanova team a chance to breathe.The feeling of being the leader is not as good as I imagined. It is no wonder that in many long-distance running events, the winner is often not the one who was at the top at the beginning, but the record of complete victory is really cool, so I can only feel pain and happiness caught.

This year, there was heavy snowfall in the eastern part of the United States, and many flights were delayed or even canceled for a long time. Chang Wei also had to give up his plan to return to China. He didn't want to travel across the entire United States to the West Coast, and then fly back to China from there.However, Chang Wei still found something for himself to do. Reading books and watching video clips in the apartment is really a waste of time. In fact, Chang Wei usually spends his boring days like this when he is free.

Because he was too lazy to go out, when Maddy and the others called to make a dinner appointment on Christmas Day, Chang Wei refused very decisively. stay in the snow.He was just sternly asking those guys to cut down on their drinks, and then hung up.

Chang Wei was extremely excited that night because Laurie gave him a black-and-white videotape of the Lakers during Show Time. As if he had found a treasure, he stayed up all night and watched it in the early morning of the next day before falling into a deep sleep.But Chang Wei was woken up early the next morning by the ringing of the phone. Seeing Tian Mengmeng in a daze, he muttered and picked up the phone.

The voice of Rappers on the other end of the phone was a little hoarse, and there was a trace of panic: "Chang, something happened! You should go to the hospital to have a look now. According to the doctor, the few children who came out for dinner last night The guys have to be hospitalized!" As he spoke, he directly reported the address to Chang Wei, which was the best hospital in Villanova Town.

Chang Wei's drowsiness disappeared all of a sudden, he thought of the phone call made by McGrady last night, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.Although Rappers did not tell him who was sent to the hospital, it is very likely that most of the main players of the team are there!If this is the case, it would be terrible. You must know that the team will play the first game after Christmas the day after tomorrow. The so-called illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like a thread. It is estimated that Villanova will be broken this season. The undefeated golden statue.

But now is not the time to worry about the outcome of the next match, Chang Wei hurriedly got dressed, rushed out the door without washing his face, and ran to the hospital.In the lobby of the hospital, Rappers was already waiting there. This middle-aged man who always paid attention to his personal appearance looked very sloppy. Not to mention the tie, even the shirt was wrinkled, and the trouser legs were even more mushy. It was full of mud and water, and the eyes were full of horrible bloodshot eyes.

Chang Wei didn't care about the small talk, he stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Did the doctor diagnose what's wrong? How many people in our team are currently receiving treatment inside?"

Rappers unbuttoned the second button of his shirt irritably, and said in a hoarse voice, "The doctor said it was the flu, huh! Fuck the flu! I'm 50 or [-] years old. I don't know if it's the flu or not." Don't you know?"

Suddenly Rappers closed his mouth, glanced around nervously, and then put it next to Chang Wei's ear, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "It is said that they were vomiting continuously when they were delivered. The symptoms are similar to food poisoning, and they all ate at the same restaurant last night, I feel like this is a deep pool of water..."

Chang Wei also involuntarily lowered his voice again: "Let's put aside whether the doctor's diagnosis is correct or not. How many people have been recruited this time? What about our game against Boston University the day after tomorrow?"

Speaking of the upcoming game, Rappers's face wrinkled into a bitter gourd. He shook his head and said, "Don't worry about the game, isn't it just a loss anyway? Let me tell you, the ones who were sent to the emergency room this time were El Don, Tracy, Howard, Malik, John, and a few other players from the second team..."

Chang Wei couldn't help but smile wryly: This time it's really a big trouble!
