God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 67

Battier made another in your face three-pointer, which helped Villanova open the point difference to double digits. Skinner had to signal to the referee and called the first timeout of the game.

In fact, he should have called a timeout long ago, but Villanova, no, it was Battier's stormy offense that made him feel at a loss, and he was distracted from time to time on the sidelines, so he didn't call a timeout in time.Looking at the score on the scoreboard, Skinner looked sullen, but now was not the time to feel sorry for himself and admit defeat.

Looking around at the players around him, Skinner took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "As you all have seen, Villanova, who is playing against this remnant team, is not an opponent that can be easily dealt with. Show your fighting spirit, lads! Our strength is undoubtedly stronger than theirs. Are you going to give up this opportunity to become famous? If you don’t want to give up, then let me drain the last bit of energy on the court !"

Skinner is indeed an expert at cooking chicken soup for the soul. After a series of beatings and beatings, the players' emotions have been stirred up. The cloud hanging over the Boston College bench seems to have begun to dissipate.In order to let the players face up to this game, he even took the responsibility of underestimating the opponent on himself, which undoubtedly aroused the players' mentality of fighting against each other.

The game restarted, and Chang Wei was surprised to find that Boston College seemed to have changed five people. They were no longer impatient to score points, and they no longer fought alone with the ball. They played more like the previous Boston team Academy Eagles.

How could Rappers not be able to see what Chang Wei could see?Boston College is actually not a weak team, at least now their record ranks third in the Big East, not much worse than Villanova.Although Villanova had the rhythm at the beginning of the game, but now that they have reacted, will the game still follow the previous prediction?

Rappers had no idea, he could only nervously watch the players running on the field, his hands tightly clutching the corners of his clothes, which was a small movement when he was extremely nervous.Although Villanova has the upper hand now, Rappers is not sure whether he can maintain it in the future. His eyes are fixed on Battier. Now he is the team's only hope.

Boston College began a high-intensity full-court press under Skinner's behest, after all, they could play many more players than Villanova.For a while, the Villanova players were in a hurry and almost lost the ball in their own half several times.Although there were no turnovers, their physical strength has declined significantly. Any player will become uncontrollably tense when facing a full-court press, which will undoubtedly make the physical strength loss faster.

For three consecutive rounds, Battier's pass failed to convert into an assist. Lynch made a three-pointer from the outside. It was buckled.Of course, Boston College would not give up such a good opportunity, and the continuous counterattack instantly narrowed the point difference to 3 points.

When Granger broke through again for a layup and sent the ball into the basket, the difference between the two sides was only 1 point.Battier crossed his hips, pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes were indescribably sharp.He never liked to blame his teammates, and this time it was the same, so he just calmly said to Lynch: "Continue to leave the next ball to me!"

Lynch nodded fiercely, he didn't say anything, because he knew that what he said now was meaningless, and the whole team could only trust Battier, he was the only one who had the ability to hold the ball on his shoulders player of.

Sure enough, when Lynch struggled to bring the ball across half court, he quickly passed it to Battier.Battier got the ball one step beyond the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left, and Granger quickly posted it.The breakthrough layup just now gave him a lot of confidence. He believed that he could stop Battier's offense and help the team lead the score.

Battier controlled the ball calmly, as if he was looking for a flaw in Boston College's defensive system.Suddenly Granger's face showed joy. Battier's dribble was so high that he seemed to be able to complete the steal with just reaching out.This was undoubtedly a huge temptation, Granger seized the opportunity and made a bold move, but Battier's mouth curled into a smile...

He abruptly changed the trajectory of the basketball, and just as Granger's fingers were about to touch the ball, he handed the ball from behind to his other hand, followed by a thunderous start.Granger was directly brought down to the ground, but the referee was indifferent. He could only watch Battier burst into the paint, score a layup against Corey, and cheated a free throw.

Granger sat on the floor blankly, turning a blind eye to his teammates who were trying to pull him up, and all his attention was on Battier.He couldn't figure it out, it was obviously an excellent stealing opportunity just now, but why did the opponent still respond?And why would you shake yourself down?this!No!division!study!

Chang Wei sat on the sidelines and smiled smugly. This is of course very scientific, because Battier did not use his own skills.Back then, Dantley often used this trick to tease defenders, and now Battier just makes this trick reproduce in the NCAA arena.If it is really unscientific, the system is the most unscientific, right?

I have to say that Granger's psychological quality is not bad. When Battier made a free throw, he quickly walked out of the shadow of the previous round.And he didn't intend to give up. After thinking about it carefully, he firmly believed that just now Battier just happened to change hands and dribble the ball behind his back.

Granger gritted his teeth secretly, and he swore he would never let this guy succeed again.

But the reality is often cruel. Battier did not shake him to the ground again, but he hit a three-pointer against his defense. What was even more tragic was that Granger still hit him hard with his hand. On Battier's arm, give the opponent a 3+1.Skinner on the sidelines was already blowing his beard and staring with anger. He has always praised Granger's ability, but Granger played a mess on the defensive end in this game, and now he even sent a big blow to his opponent. Gift bag, you don't want to play with it like this if you die!

With Battier's outstanding performance in the second half of the first half, Villanova once again took the lead. They led 52 to 45 into the second half. Battier scored 23 points and sent 5 rebounds alone. , 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, you must know that these are generally the final statistics of his entire game.
