Chapter 68: The winning streak continues
At halftime, Villanova's locker room was full of laughter, and everyone was talking and laughing uncontrollably, as if they were eager to release all the grievances in their hearts at once.
It took two whistles in quick succession for Rappers to quiet the group of chicken-blooded fellows. However, he didn't take out the tactical board, but said to Battier: "Sean, tell me what the requirements of the second half of the game are." Now the whole team is playing around you, your tactics are the team's tactics, and your requirements are the team's requirements. â
Battier, who was majestic on the field before, turned red, and he muttered, "This...... It's better to let the coach set up the tactics in the second half, and I'm only responsible for executing the ......."
Before Lappers could speak, Chang Wei smiled and said, "It's okay, Sean, you better talk about it!" Even if you don't talk about tactics, you can talk about what you want from your teammates, so that everyone can play more easily, right? â
With Chang Wei's encouragement, Battier thought for a while and said carefully: "Well, I hope everyone runs more in the second half, and if there is no particularly good chance to score, pass the ball out as soon as possible...... In addition, on the defensive end, you can be more active, I can't hit a few nails even if I am all iron......"
Rappers nodded: "Everyone's heard Sean's request, right?" I would like to add that I know that we have rarely played against the main players of other teams before, and I am also a duck in this game. But you did surprise me, you were all very good in the first half, and I hope you will continue to work hard in the second half to support Sean more! â
In fact, even if Rappers doesn't say it, everyone else will automatically consciously take Battier as the leader, who makes him the only main player in the team who can play at the moment? And Battier's performance in the first half has also conquered them, in their hearts, Battier is no longer the guy who often hides behind Maddy and Brand, and works hard to defend the long-range shot, and his shine is no weaker than the other two core players.
However, after the game resumed, Boston College once set off a comeback momentum. The reason is simple, Skinner, who couldn't bear it, directly pressed Granger to the bench and replaced him with the Greek Magros. Although Marglos's scoring ability is not as good as Granger's, he is better than his tactical execution, and Skinner is not afraid of him making his own decisions on the court.
After taking out Granger, who was obsessed with individual singles, Boston College's offense was smooth again, and Woodward hit two consecutive three-pointers to close the margin to single digits.
After Granger's departure, Woodward became the tactical core of Boston College. As the team's starting point guard, Woodward, despite his scoring ability, will not leave his teammates aside for the sake of scoring like Granger did, which is the fundamental reason why Skinner lets him play more than 30 minutes every game.
But Battier quickly stepped up, scored 8 points on a burst shot, and also sent 2 assists to his teammates, helping Lynch and Coette hit three-pointers, and Villanova instantly hit a wave of 14-0 scoring climax, once again widening the difference. It was from this point in that Boston College was never able to close the score......
Although it was at Boston College's home court, Battier had already turned the crowd against him, and every time he got the ball, the whole arena would burst into deafening cheers, and if he hit the ball, almost the entire stadium would have chanted "MVP!" MVPïŒ "This is the best compliment to his solo performance.
The reporters on the sidelines looked at each other, which was too different from their pre-match predictions, and it was no problem to say that it was 180 degrees upside down. Several of the reporters looked like they were constipated, and they had already written a few large paragraphs before the game began, but now it seems that all of them are going to be invalidated.
The only ones who can still laugh are a few local media outlets in Philadelphia, who have spared no effort in supporting the local team. Now that they saw Villanova's remnants of the battle and beat Boston College to the ground, these reporters from Philadelphia were naturally overjoyed, and one by one they danced in their seats as if they had been drugged.
While the Boston College players were running as hard as they could, Skinner on the sidelines looked like he was ten years older, sitting in his place like a lifeless piece of wood.
He now regrets that he was too full of words before the game, and now he doesn't even have the slightest room to turn around, and can only passively accept the cynicism of others. He could well imagine how the newspapers would report on his ambitious manager, and looking at the numbers on the scoreboard, Skinner didn't even have the desire to sigh.
But Villanova wasn't going to show mercy because he was going to be in crisis, and Rappers' only thought now was to put the final nail in Boston College's coffin, so even with a 15-point lead, he didn't replace Battier, but continued to let him chase after him with a guy who usually only had a few minutes to play.
When the final whistle finally blew, everyone on the Villanova bench jumped, including Lappers, who had been very steady. Everyone rushed to the pitch, hugged each other, and some even played Arhat and cheered for the victory in their own way.
Chang Wei quickly calmed down, and he was the only one who had confidence in Villanova in this match. After taking a statistic, Chang Wei looked directly at Battier's line, although he had used Dantley's talent card for Battier before, but Battier's performance also shocked him. 42 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks, super well-rounded and perfect statistics, and more importantly, he helped Villanova win the game and did not stop the winning streak.
However, Chang Wei also found a problem, after the player uses the talent card, the personal personality cannot be changed, otherwise Battier would not have delivered a game-high 7 assists. Dantley is a pure scorer, averaging only 3 assists per game in his career, and it is not surprising that he has 0 assists in this game if he is there in person.
But these are just small things, Chang Wei happily walked up to Lappers, who was already a little messy in his suit, and said with a smile: "Mr. coach, the players and I are waiting for your meal!" â
