God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 70 Bloodbath Sacrificial Flag

Chang Wei didn't show up at the team dinner the next night. Of course, it wasn't because he had something to do, he just didn't like to join in the fun.However, he still learned from the few words of the players that Rappers definitely bleed a lot during this meal. It is said that when he took out his wallet, both hands were trembling slightly.

For Rappers' pain, Chang Wei just smiled back, who made him lose the bet?Moreover, being able to continue to remain undefeated is indeed something worth celebrating, and the head coach should also bleed for the players.

To his relief, on the morning of the third day, everyone arrived at the training hall ahead of time to warm up, which happened very rarely in the past.Originally, Chang Wei thought that these guys would be dazzled by the head coach's praise, and complacently thought that they could beat their opponents casually, but now it seems that they have matured a lot.

Every player is very serious in the training session. After experiencing food poisoning before, they really feel the value of standing on the court and fighting side by side with their teammates.Facing the upcoming competition, everyone is full of strong desire to fight. It is impossible for all members to suffer a defeat immediately after returning, right?That's definitely the biggest dark humor of the season.

The Dantley talent card that Chang Wei used for Battier has expired, which also means that it is difficult for the latter to play the performance of the previous game.But Chang Wei keenly found that Battier became more active on the offensive end, running empty-handed to catch and shoot, slipping to the bottom line for layups through screens, and making quick breaks and dunks after steals... He almost did it by himself on offense. Everything the end can do.

It seems that the talent card may also have a subtle influence on the players, which Chang Wei did not expect before.He looked at Battier, who was very active on the field, and asked himself silently: "If you use different talent cards for the same player many times, what will this player look like in the end?"

Well, this is all from Chang Wei's bad taste. He doesn't intend to do such a thing. What if the player is split because of this?Chang Wei said that his small shoulders cannot bear this responsibility!

But now it seems that Battier's change should be a good thing. At least Villanova will have more offensive routines, and the opponent will not focus all on McGrady and Brand. This is invisible. Zhong also freed them both.

It's a pity... Chang Wei shook his head secretly. In the next game, Battier doesn't really need to participate in the attack. His main task is to lock Hamilton.It is not a problem to say that the University of Connecticut Huskies team is Hamilton's team alone. As long as you carefully study the Connecticut game, you will find that Hamilton's performance has a lot to do with the team's victory or defeat. Game, Connecticut's winning percentage is ... zero.

Connecticut's ability to bite Villanova this season is largely due to the fact that Hamilton rarely encounters even-matched opponents. His off-ball running throughout the court can easily break the defense's heart.In those games Connecticut lost, opponents had great perimeter defenders.

But this time, Hamilton's opponent was Battier.

In fact, even if Battier turned the last game into a scoring feast, he still gave the impression of a more versatile upgraded 3D player, and his defense is still the nightmare of every outside scorer.

Of course Hamilton knew this, so when the Connecticut players came out to warm up, his face was very ugly from the beginning to the end, and he looked at Villanova's half from time to time. Everyone knew who he was afraid of in the opponent's team .

The progress of the game was as everyone imagined before the game. Hamilton was entangled by Battier from the beginning, and his good off-ball running was useless at all, because Battier completely regarded other people as air, that is, It made Hamilton feel worse, more than in any previous race, to stare at him so intently.

Battier stared at Hamilton intently, but his heart kept echoing what Chang Wei warned him before the game: "Sean, every basketball player will have the desire to put the ball into the basket, but a great player always has the desire to put the ball in the basket." It is willing to do things that are beneficial to the team. When the team needs them to score, they can stand up and score; when the team needs them to defend the opponent's scoring arrow, they can put all their energy on the defensive end .Forget the 42-point game before, now the team needs you to contribute on the defensive end, I believe you can become a great player!"

Fortunately, Battier himself is a mild-mannered player. Although his interest in scoring has been greatly improved now, it does not mean that he is ready to devote himself to scoring.In the previous game against Boston College, he scored 42 points and also sent 7 assists to his teammates, which is the best proof.

As a team player, he certainly knows what is good for the team, but Chang Wei explained it more thoroughly.So now Hamilton sees a Battier who doesn't intend to score at all, which makes him feel very painful. He would rather fight against his opponent than be chased by his ass like he is now.

Throughout the first half, Hamilton hardly got any decent shots, and was intercepted by Battier twice, which was completely unimaginable in Connecticut's previous games.But the fact is that Hamilton only made 2 of 8 shots in the first half, scored only 2 points and 5 assists, and Connecticut fell behind by more than 2 points.

The situation did not improve in the second half. Hamilton originally thought that Battier would lose his physical strength because of chasing him, but when he had vaguely felt that his legs began to become heavy, Battier, who had been by his side all the time, seemed to have nothing to do with it. No difference, that is to say, Battier's physical fitness may be much stronger than him.

This time, Connecticut completely lost hope of winning. Although McGrady and Brand, the two main players in this game, were constantly looking for a touch and their shooting percentage was quite low, Villanova has always maintained a huge lead.This is entirely due to Battier's successful defense. Although he only scored 2 points, and only contributed 3 steals and 1 block, his contribution on the defensive end cannot be reflected by the data.

Just look at Hamilton's stats, 9 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists, this is almost his worst game of the season so far, Connecticut also lost to Villa 62-88 Nova, helping the opponent to further consolidate the lead of the top of the Big East.
