God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 85 Introspection
Rappers is a coach with a pretty good temper, but now is the most important game of the whole season, no matter how good his temper is, he will inevitably lose his temper.After baptizing the players with saliva stars, he focused on McGrady, who was not working hard.In fact, McGrady still has a role on the court, he can at least help his teammates involve in defense.

But now whether it is Battier, Brand, Brown, or Allen, everyone has gradually come out of the previous downturn. In contrast, McGrady looks like a soy sauce.Switching to a head coach like Popovich might replace him a few minutes after the start of the game. Of course Rappers does not have the guts, but now it is more than five minutes before the start of the game, and the team His performance has slowly started to improve. At this time, it seems to be a good idea to let McGrady go off the court and reflect on it. The team can also withstand the pressure of his absence.

After careful consideration, Rappers decisively replaced McGrady with Celestand.McGrady was completely stunned when he left the field. Since joining Villanova, he has never been replaced at this point in time. This obviously does not meet the core positioning of his team.But now he is indeed going to be put on the bench by the head coach, and he still doesn't know when he will be able to reappear. Is it because his previous performance was not very good?

Rappers did not intend to explain the reason to him. Although Villanova has begun to recover, he is still behind in the score. He must focus all his energy on the game.As for McGrady, let him sit on the bench for a while, and he will probably figure it out by himself. If he can't figure it out...then just sit on it forever!

McGrady is actually a very smart player. Of course he knows why the head coach replaced him early, but he just can't think about it.Obviously, I am not the only one who is not playing well, and I can also help my teammates attract defenses on the court, so why am I the first one to be substituted now?

Seeing McGrady sitting in a daze, Chang Wei couldn't bear it, he quietly moved behind McGrady, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered: "Tracey, don't take this matter to heart, the team is indispensable." Your play."

McGrady pointed to the scoreboard and said sadly: "But now the point difference has become 5 points. I feel like the team has me without me. Maybe it can play better without me."

Chang Wei was a little dumbfounded, this guy seemed to have begun to doubt himself.However, McGrady is still far from having a mature mind, and it is inevitable to have such thoughts.He pondered for a while, then slowly said: "There is a problem with your thinking. In my opinion, your talent is undoubtedly at the historical level. Does just one game make you doubt yourself? What about the game? Isn't it you Did you lead the team to take it as the tactical core?"

"In the history of the NCAA, only three teams have won five times in a single season. We are the fourth team. This has a lot to do with your joining. I know that Elton is the core of the organization center The tactics are also very good, but the upper limit of the team is definitely not as high as it is now. So you are the most important person in the team, do you understand?"

After hearing Chang Wei's words, Mai Di muttered to himself: "Then why are you letting me go now?"

"The head coach is not punishing you by taking you off the field, he's just angry that you didn't step up and lead the team against Kentucky in time. I know you were influenced by the media before the game, but now you have to show the attitude against North Carolina. Come against Kentucky, otherwise the next time the head coach replaces you, I don't know if you will have a chance to play in this game."

McGrady thought for a while, nodded in agreement, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Chang, I will sit here and watch the game. When I play again later, I will definitely not let you down."

When the two talked, Villanova had completed the overtake, but Kentucky obviously did not intend to give up.The score at the beginning of the game gave them great confidence, and every Kentucky player believed that they had a chance to win the championship with a weak victory.The media reports are flattering to Villanova, but they are a stimulant to them. No one wants to prove themselves, especially these young people who are full of blood, so Villanova has been unable to open the score for a long time.

It is not Sheppard who is now serving as Kentucky's scoring arrow, but their power forward Scott Padgett.Although Chang Wei has no impression of him, Padgett was also an NBA player in his previous life. He was selected by the Jazz with the 1999th overall pick in the first round in 28. He has played for the Jazz, Rockets, Nets and Grizzlies in his career. Contributed 4.2 points and 2.7 rebounds, and was also a witness to the miracle of McGrady's 35 points in 13 seconds.

It was he who kept carrying Brand under the basket to score layups, and Kentucky bit Villanova tightly and did not let the point difference widen.Of course, before this, Padgett was not an unknown little person, but it was this game that brought him into the mainstream media's field of vision, and this made him enter the NBA with a higher pick than his previous life in next year's draft , this is a later story.

But Rappers still sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, and has no intention of putting McGrady back on the court.Although he saw Chang Wei whispering to McGrady just now, he still hopes that McGrady can calm down for a while off the court. A hot head is a bad state for any player, especially a team core like McGrady.

And now the team is not at a disadvantage on the scene, which fully shows that Villanova's overall strength is higher than Kentucky.Even if the team doesn't have an obvious advantage now, it's good to keep Kentucky in the ashes. At this time, there is no need to put McGrady on the court in advance. The team is still behind by 20 points.

Until the end of the first half of the game, Rappers did not let McGrady play, and the latter's first half statistics were fixed at 4 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, which is similar to his scoring in double figures at halftime. The performance was very disproportionate.The media reporters on the sidelines also talked a lot. In their opinion, no head coach would do anything to hide his core players in the finals, but Rappers did it, and it seems that the team has not been affected. what effect.

Could it be that Villanova is already so powerful?Or is it that McGrady's role in this team is not as great as imagined?Everyone who is watching the game is puzzled.But at least one thing is certain, that is, Villanova is moving towards their second NCAA championship in team history.
