God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 71 League Champion
After defeating Connecticut, Villanova continued to advance. At least in the Big East, they have been invincible, and the food poisoning has long been forgotten by them.

But in fact, there is nothing further to this matter. The local police did not find enough clues to investigate, and finally had to let it go.There were also Villanova fans among the police officers involved in the investigation. They visited Villanova University in private and in their own names and expressed their apologies to everyone on the team.

Rappers is very generous, he doesn't care much about this accident anymore, yes, he is currently inclined to think it was an accident.In fact, in his opinion, whether it was an accident or man-made, it doesn't matter anymore. Now Villanova is in a state of high morale. To be honest, it started from the game against Boston College.

If the food poisoning was really caused by someone deliberately, Rappers would like to express his gratitude to this guy. Without that incident, the team might not be as full of cohesion and desire for victory as it is now.

Unknowingly, the second stage of the NCAA this season is over. Villanova continues to lead the Big East with a record of undefeated, and they are also the only team that can maintain a unbeaten record so far.

In fact, there is no team in the Big East that can threaten Villanova. They basically did not encounter any decent challenges against teams in the same league in the second stage, and almost every game was won by a big score. .Facing the upcoming knockout stage of the third stage, no player is nervous about it, because they firmly believe that they will win the game.

Villanova's opponent in the first round is Providence University. Although this school broke into the national championship last season, their strength has declined significantly this year. Except for small forward Jamel Thomas, no one on the team Averaged double figures per game.And when they run into teams like Villanova with elite perimeter defenders, they're doomed.

Under the defense of Shane Battier and Tracy McGrady, Thomas did not play his due role at all. His shooting percentage was appallingly low. He did not even qualify for 17 of 5 shots from the field. He only scored 12 points and 3 rebounds. .You must know that Thomas averaged 18.5 points per game this season. When he couldn't score, Providence could only watch Villanova advance to the next round.

In the second round, Villanova's opponent was St. John's University, and their team had a player who was also on Villanova's signing list at the beginning, Ron Artest.There is no doubt that this is what Chang Wei advocated. He knows what kind of player Artest was in his previous life. Although he failed to bring Artest back to Villanova in the end, this will not hinder him Appreciation for this prick.It's a pity that Artest's performance in his rookie season was mediocre, averaging 11.6 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.

However, Villanova almost capsized on him. Thomas' tragic experience in the last round was transplanted to Tracy McGrady. He was defended by Artest throughout the game.Fortunately, Brand and Battier directly blasted the opposing players, and the two teamed up to contribute 42 points, which didn't make Villanova capsize in the gutter.

After the game, the furious Rappers called McGrady over and scolded him severely. As the core of the team's playmaker, his performance in this game was indeed like a pile of shit.He scored 15 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, but also made as many as 7 turnovers. This is the first time he has more than 5 turnovers in a single game this season.

But while Rappers criticized McGrady, he was once again surprised by Chang Wei's vision.During the offseason last year, Chang Wei was the only one who put Artest on the team's signing list. At that time, Rappers was still a little disapproving. The NCAA is all over the place.Coupled with the fact that the team got Battier's promise later, he did not continue to pay attention to Artest, who was also positioned as a wing defender.

Unexpectedly, Chang Wei's vision is indeed unusual. Artest is undoubtedly a good perimeter defensive gate. Although he is still a little immature, his ability to defend McGrady from 7 turnovers has proved his strength.Fortunately, the team won in the end. If the game was lost because of Artest, Rappers would really want to cry without tears.

Now they are only one step away from the Big East championship, but the last opponent is not Connecticut, which has been biting the back but was bloody, but Syracuse University.

After learning that the opponent in the final was Syracuse University, Chang Wei reflexively checked the opponent's player list, but soon he laughed at himself.The current Syracuse University is not the strong team that won the championship after entering the 21st century. Naturally, there is no "Little Melon" Anthony on the list, but a group of unknown people.

Of course, they are not well-known in Chang Wei's eyes, but in fact they are quite famous in the NCAA.The team's top scorer Todd Bergen averaged 17.6 points and 7.1 rebounds per game; Ryan Blackwell averaged 12.6 points and 8.2 rebounds per game.This pair of strikers is the cornerstone of Syracuse University. Syracuse University defeated Connecticut in the last game, largely because of their outstanding performance. Although Hamilton scored 27 points and 6 assists, Bergen and Blackwell scored 49 points to help Syracuse University advance to the Big East finals.

It's a pity that they met Villanova led by McGrady, Battier and Brand this time, and Battier and Brand just happened to match up with the two of them.Bergen was completely locked up by Battier. Although the latter himself didn't get many points, Bergen only scored 15 points and made 5 turnovers.

Brand and Blackwell completed the exchange, and Chang Wei also had to admit that among those guys who failed to enter the NBA in the end, there were also outstanding players. What about the Rand mutual explosion?You must know that in Chang Wei's impression, Brand is a perennial 20+10 powerful power forward!
There is no doubt that the winner of this game is McGrady. After being defended by Artest, he urgently needs a game to prove himself.And this time, no one at Syracuse University could stop him. 32 points, 8 rebounds, and 12 assists are McGrady's transcripts, and the depression of the previous game was swept away.

After Villanova easily defeated Syracuse University, experts and fans were very emotional. This team is really too strong. They almost booked the Big East championship at the beginning of the season, so they can play happily ?
