Chapter 65: Trying to Escape

Naturally, the main players of Villanova University have food poisoning, which cannot be hidden from the pervasive media reporters, in fact, in this information age, the extension of media tentacles is difficult to imagine. As long as you have enough explosive points, the media can hype you up in the first place, and a team like Villanova, which is currently the top team in the league, has a big incident, let alone a big one.

For a while, there were those who sighed and gloated, especially Boston College, which was about to face Villanova, and the whole team was eager to sing and dance. Of course, even if they beat Villanova, they won't be the top of the Big East League, but beating the top of the league is worth bragging about for an entire season.

After seeing the long media coverage, Boston College coach Al Skinner almost wanted to laugh three times in his office, Villanova was completely self-inflicted! In his opinion, this is his chance to make a name for himself, the media has blown this Villanova team to the sky, and now the opportunity to beat this team has been sent to him, how can he do it if he doesn't grasp it well? Let you behave so awesome before, aren't you going to make a mistake now?

There is nothing wrong with Skinner's idea, although sports are about the human spirit, competitive sports are more about winning or losing. If a team suffers from an injury and the opponent will sympathize with them, but when it comes to the field, they will still do their best to win, who is to let you be unlucky? In fact, if he changes to another team, Skinner's thoughts are definitely not much different.

Seeing that the date of the game was approaching, Skinner also gave a high-profile interview to many media outlets, and he said in front of the camera: "I sympathize with what happened to Villanova, but that's not a reason for us to be soft in the game. My players need an honour like this, and this season's unbeaten run of Villanova will be ended by us! ”

The other teams were red with envy for Boston College, and everyone was on the same page: Why wasn't it us against Villanova this time? If that's us, aren't we the heroes who ended Villanova's unbeaten streak?

Compared with Skinner's high-profile appearances, Rappers is very low-key, and he has only been interviewed by a Philadelphia media outlet. Pressed by reporters, Lappers looked helpless, and he said carefully: "We are indeed in trouble, but this is not a reason for us to be tied down in the next game." There is a price to be paid for any team to win from us, and I promise my players will give their best in the game......

It's beautifully spoken, but it always sounds like there's a hint of lust and guilt. For any team, the absence of two of the core trio is basically a defeat for the game, and Villanova is no exception to the outside world, and Rappers only said this to save face to a certain extent.

Chang Wei knew that this was actually the reason why Rappers said this, it was nothing more than a donkey that was upside down. But he is the only one in the team who knows what will happen in the next game, and Rappers' words can be regarded as paralyzing the opponent.

Lappers has always been very calm in front of the players, but in fact, he is still very anxious inside, and anyone who sees his winning streak about to be broken is like this, Chang Wei said that he can understand very much. But after setting up the tactics for his players in the dressing room and letting them in first, Lappers brought that anxiety to the fore.

He paced back and forth in the locker room, muttering, "What is going to happen in this game?" Boston College is also the second-best team in the Great East Division, so is this the end of this season's winning streak? ”

Chang Wei was almost stunned by him, so he had to pretend to come forward to comfort him. "Mr. Coach, now that we have done everything we can, it is useless to worry about it in the future, it is better to hurry in now, and give these boys more guidance in the game......" Chang Wei blinked as he spoke, "Maybe there will be a miracle?" ”

Rappers said angrily: "Is it so easy for miracles to happen?" Really...... If the team can win all of this, I'll invite you to the best restaurant in Villanova for ten meals! ”

Chang Wei said with a smile: "Ten meals are not necessary, just invite the players to eat one meal together." But let's put aside the treat, the game is about to start, you better hurry to the sidelines to supervise the battle! ”

Rappers walked towards the players' tunnel with a long sigh, and Chang Wei followed behind and laughed secretly. The head coach is not confident, but he is full of confidence, after all, he has just used Dantley's talent card for Battier, and those who underestimate him in this game will have to suffer a big loss, maybe after the game, Battier's reputation can really catch up with Brand and Maddy, right?

Not long after the two entered the arena and sat down, the game officially began. Boston College is naturally the main force and is holding back its strength to beat Villanova in this game. With that in mind, Boston College's players were very positive, with center Mitch Corey pushing Villanova's former backup center Biggs to give the ball to the team's leading scorer, Granger.

As Boston College's number one player, Granger is undoubtedly a proud player. If he faced Maddie, who was in full swing at the moment, he might still have some fears, but now standing in front of him was Battier, and Granger instantly felt superior, so before the game started, he told his teammates to pass the ball to him more, and he wanted to blow up the No. 31 on the opposite side.

But after Granger received the ball, before he could turn around, a large hand ghostly covered the basketball. He instantly felt a powerful force, and in a flash of lightning, the basketball had already flown out of his hand, and he looked up in horror, and the No. 31 jersey of the Villanova University Wildcats swept in front of him, and then flew away.

It was Battier who made the steal, and that was his main task with the team all along. But this time it's a little different, he has always been low-key, he actually felt the blood in his body boiling, looking at the basket that was getting closer and closer, he suddenly had a desire to show himself, to score a layup? To hell with it!

Battier rose up one step further from the free-throw line, and no one thought this guy could jump so high that it looked like his head was almost above the basket! But this was not something for Battier to consider, he clung to the basketball tightly, and smashed the ball into the basket with a "boom", and the audience was silent for a moment......
