Anyone at Villanova wants the team to keep going, and Chang Wei is no exception, but he now feels like there's nothing he can do about it, just watching the team fall into trouble, after all, he's just a trainer.

He's not a manager, he's not qualified to give his players a strategy, and he doesn't think he can do it better than Rappers if he knows a thing or two. He's not a player either, he can't get on the pitch on his own, and sometimes a player's outburst can really make the difference between winning and losing a game, but it's clear that no one in Villanova can do that at the moment.

Of course, Chang Wei had already hated himself more than once for not being able to earn more prestige, and if he could redeem some items from the Miracle Mall now, it would be easy and enjoyable to get Arizona.

But at this time he couldn't do anything, or he had done everything he could before.

The difference between the two sides is close to 20 points, and Arizona's small lineup is now helpless, but there are still people who are not ready to give up. Thomas stood at the entrance of the players' tunnel waiting to enter the field, looking at the numbers on the scoreboard, he pursed his lips tightly, and his whole body exuded a tragic aura of ruin.

Yes, many pundits, fans and media reporters believe that Villanova has made it to this point is a miracle, even if they lose, it is not a big deal, they have already succeeded this season. However, Thomas doesn't think so, and although he usually seems mild-mannered, he is actually no worse than anyone else's.

Ever since the opposing head coach switched to a small lineup, he has become Villanova's soft underbelly, which is difficult for him to accept, after all, since joining Villanova, he has been the team's strongest point and the team's leading scorer. But now he is trapped by the opponent's tactics, and he has been needlessly draining his physical strength.

This isn't the national semi-final battle I wanted! Thomas roared inwardly, he couldn't stand the fact that he had become a breakthrough for his opponent, so he thought he had to take a gamble.

So at the beginning of the second half, every fan, pundit and media reporter who followed the game saw such an incomprehensible but quite shocking scene: a big man wearing the No. 11 jersey of the Villanova University Wildcats ran wildly on the court without sparing his physical strength, as if he only had the brown basketball in his eyes.

Looking left and right, this guy is doing useless work, he can't catch the ball on the offensive end, but he is trying to get stuck on the inside, or interspersed with runs in the opponent's defensive system; On the defensive end, he was constantly doing useless switchback runs, even if he couldn't keep up with the opponent's pace, he gritted his teeth and followed closely behind, but there was no anxiety on his face at all.

Perhaps infected by Thomas's performance, Villanova's other players also cheered up and tried their best to deal with the opponent, and for a while they were not allowed to continue to open up the gap by Arizona.

Watching Thomas run the field, Chang Wei suddenly understood that no matter how powerful the system is, it is always an auxiliary prop, and it is always the player who determines the outcome of the game. In this game, even the system did not intend to release a mission to save the team, but Thomas did not give up, but led his teammates to continue to persevere. If the players don't have the belief to win, even if the system rises to the top, they won't be able to win the game.

Chang Wei now knows his destiny, and the strength of this team has a lot to do with his training, especially Thomas, who has spent a lot of effort on this guy and has high expectations for him. Thomas's performance in the second half was very comforting to him, and it was worth losing the game.

However, Thomas was obviously unwilling to surrender like this, which is why he behaved so desperately. It's not that he doesn't know that this has no effect, but he just can't bear this breath, seeing that the team is only one step away from the national finals, and facing another weak chicken in the top four, it is not his style to admit defeat obediently.

Lappers couldn't bear to see him panting and called a timeout five minutes into the second half. He said to Thomas with a serious face, "Tim, you must come down and rest, I can't let you do any more useless work." I'm happy that the team has come so far, you don't have to fight for a game that you have to lose. ”

Thomas grabbed a towel and wiped his face vigorously, and said in a muffled voice: "Coach, you have taken good care of me since I joined the team, but I can't listen to you this time." I've always believed that if you dare to work hard, you will have a chance to win the game. If you take 10,000 steps back, even if this game is going to be lost, it's our last game of the season, maybe even my last game in the NCAA, and I have to do my best to play the rest of the game, please keep me on the court! ”

This is reasonable, but Lappers has been immersed in the position of head coach for many years, how can he be easily moved by the players under his own hands? Moreover, he is also thinking about Thomas's career, and it is clear that the latter is quite tired now, and the probability of injury in this situation will greatly increase, and in case of a serious injury, it will undoubtedly cast a shadow on his draft prospects.

But when Lappers saw Thomas gritting his teeth, he knew that it would be difficult for him to convince the stunned young man, and he couldn't help but look at Chang Wei, who was watching the excitement from the side. He knows that among all the people in the team, Thomas is not most convinced by himself as a manager, but Chang Wei, who helped him eliminate the hidden danger of injury and let him improve his strength. Lappers believes that as long as Chang Wikem speaks, Thomas will obediently stay on the bench even if he doesn't want to.

How could Chang Wei not see Rappers's mind? But he didn't intend to persuade Thomas to get off the field, but said to Rappers: "Look at this kid's unwillingness, even if you press him on the bench, it's useless." And he did have a point, maybe after this game, he will have to say goodbye to the NCAA, and it is natural for him to play a little longer. ”

'I know it's easy to get hurt, but with me, even if Tim doesn't get too bad, I can still help him recover quickly. And his current performance can add points to himself, any head coach will like a player with a tenacious style, perseverance and a desire to win, at least Thiem can make a good impression on the NBA coaches in advance, right? ”
