Chapter 26 Emergencies

The NCAA games are not divided into four quarters of 12 minutes each like the NBA, they only have two halves of 20 minutes each, so how to distribute the physical strength of the main players is something that the head coach must carefully consider.

It was only eight minutes since Rappers came on as a substitute, but that's the way he's always been. As long as there are no accidents, such as blowing up the opponent or being blown by the opponent, his substitutions are usually in the 8th and 12th minutes, and the same is true in the second half, although it needs to be slightly adjusted, but it is basically based on this point in time.

When he put Thomas and other key players on the court again, the team actually had a slight lead of 2 points at 32-30, which was a good situation that he could not have imagined before the game. The reason is simple, Selesstad seized the opportunity in the limited time and scored 11 points in a row under the opponent's defense, which allowed Villanova, who was slightly inferior in overall strength, to continue to take the initiative.

In the back and forth between the two sides, there were only 27 seconds left in the first half of the game, and Villanova and Duke were tied. Lappers were a little unhappy with the result, but luckily the ball was on his side's side in the final strike of the first half, and he could probably take the lead again before the break.

Ervin slowly dribbled the ball from beyond the three-point line, and as Capper looked at the waiting, he smiled contemptuously and made a gesture for Thomas to come up to the high post and make a pick-and-roll with him. Bypassing Thomas's burly body, Erwin was almost flat in front of him, and he did not hesitate to speed up and kill under the basket.

If it weren't for Thomas, Irvine, the captain of the team, would have been Villanova's number one star, and this attack also showed his quality. Although Duke's players came up to make up for it, he took a European step like a leisurely stroll, and the continuous change of center of gravity made it impossible for opponents to grasp his position.

A light layup added two more points to Villanova's score, but in the moments when there was little time left in the first half, a change suddenly happened. Erwin's jumping layup was fine, but it went wrong when it landed, and it is not known whether it was intentional or unintentional, and Michaelod's left foot appeared right on Irwin's landing spot.

Everyone knows that stepping on an obstacle when landing can easily cause sprains, and this time is no exception, Erwin exclaimed, and the whole person fell to the ground sideways. When his teammates stepped forward to help him up, he was holding his left leg tightly, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and even his face was a little distorted.

Chang Wei saw it clearly from the sidelines, but this accident caught people off guard, and he didn't react until Erwin fell to the ground. He hurriedly rushed over with another assistant coach, lifted Erwin to the bench, and began to carry out a simple examination and treatment, but Chang Wei was not sure whether Erwin would be able to play in the second half.

Lappers' eyes were red, and while it wasn't clear if his opponent had done it on purpose, Elwin's injury was a definite fact. He comforted Erwin a few words, and then strode over to the referee to protest, looking quite excited.

As the team's No. 2 scorer and No. 1 assister, Irving's importance can be imagined, and Rappers dares to say that there is no second person on the team who can organize the offense like Elvin, not even backup point guard Howard Brown. Although Thomas can organize offense in the high post, most of his energy is still focused on offense and defense under the basket, and he is not essentially a playmaker like Webb.

The only good news is that there are only 3.7 seconds left until the end of the first half, which is not enough for Duke to complete an attack, which also means that Villanova can go into the second half with a two-point lead. Regardless of whether Irwin can play in the second half, there was enough time at halftime for him to figure it out.

The atmosphere in the visiting locker room was depressing, and the whole Villanova team did not have the joy of leading Duke at all, and everyone secretly looked at Erwin on the physiotherapy bed, with a light of hope in their eyes. According to Chang Wei's experience, Erwin's sprain this time is not light, and he basically doesn't have to think about playing again in the second half, but he also knows how important Erwin is to the team, which makes him have to turn to the system in his consciousness to see if there is any good way.

This can be regarded as a dead horse as a live horse doctor, you must know that the system rarely cares about such idle things. In the past, Chang Wei did not encounter the problem of not enough for the system to release tasks, but when he began to call the system in his consciousness, he always pretended to be dead and did not say a word, and in the end Chang Wei could only be defeated gorgeously.

But this time it was a little different, the system was silent for a while, and actually issued a temporary task: to help Erwin play for at least 10 minutes after the start of the second half, rewarding 20 experience points, 15 reputation points, and classical massage method (fragment).

Ooh! This is the first time in the world! However, this temporary task made Chang Wei confused, he didn't know that the tasks of the system could be divided into types. After the explanation of the system, he understood that the temporary task is a task temporarily released by the system under certain preconditions, and the reward may be very powerful, or it may be very cheating, like this additional reward of some massage methods is good.

However, what made Chang Wei vomit blood was that the system did not tell him what the prerequisites for triggering the temporary mission this time were, and the prerequisites required for any temporary mission in the future would not be announced. In other words, this is a matter of character and luck, good luck can be stimulated, bad luck will be ...... Abnormal Wei thinks so.

But now is not the time to talk nonsense, and how to get Erwin back to strength before the fourth quarter is the first thing Chang Wei has to consider. According to the system, Elwin's sprained ankle needs to be restored with massage, which is why the reward for this quest includes the fragments of the massage method, as long as you make up 5 fragments, you can use the classical massage method at any time, otherwise you only have the right to use it temporarily, and it must also be granted by the system.

Of course, Chang Wei is too late to start learning now, but the system naturally has a systematic approach, just like the skill learning in online games, he only feels that his head is empty, and when he regains consciousness again, he feels that his familiarity with that set of massage methods is like decades of hard practice, and even has an urge to try his hand immediately.

Looking at Erwyn, who was lying on the physiotherapy bed with a gloomy face, Chang Wei said solemnly: "Erwin, I can let you continue to play in the second half, but I need your cooperation, is there a problem?" ”
