The manager's temporary change of starting line-up did catch everyone off guard, but everyone was more concerned about Selestamad's attitude. For the vast majority of players, giving up the starting position is an insult to them, and it is not impossible to be passive on the field or even refuse to play on the field, if there is infighting in the team because of this, it will be worth the loss.

However, when the whole team gathered at the entrance of the arena, everyone was surprised to see that Celestead seemed to be fine, habitually greeting a few teammates with whom he had a good relationship, and hugging Lee's shoulders and whispering very affectionately.

Well, maybe he didn't see Lee's bitter gourd face...... But that's a little weird, isn't it? With Celestead's temper, this shouldn't be, could it be that he was brainwashed by the head coach in the afternoon?

However, regardless of whether they were brainwashed or not, the pre-game warm-up and tactical arrangements were still carried out step by step, but this time because of the lineup adjustment, Rappers spent more time laying out the tactics for the players. In fact, he is also taking a risk, because his tactics completely depend on Lee's play on the defensive end, and it is okay to defend against Jackson, but if he can't prevent it, he can only be blown up.

His idea is simple, the University of Minnesota is ultimately a backcourt-oriented team, and Bobby Jackson is the most threatening of the backcourt duo, as long as he cuts off his passing routes and limits his scoring, the victory of this game is nine out of ten, so the key to winning the game is Lee's state.

Listening to the manager's tactical arrangement, Lee's hands were almost sweating. Before, he also thought that the coach could not rush to make himself a starter, there must be some important task to solve the problem on the defensive end, but he did not expect that he would be the winner or loser of this game, if he wins, the team wins, and if he loses, the team loses.

Seeing Lee's nervous and trembling appearance, Rappers coughed dryly and asked very seriously, "Lee, can you do it?" If you can't, I'll replace you as soon as possible and let whoever can do it play! ”

Lee jumped up like a spring on his buttocks, clenched his fists and shouted, "I'm going to do everything I can to finish off Jackson and prove with my actions that I was right to start!" ”

Rappers glanced at him in surprise, obviously he was a little nervous just now, why is it like being beaten now? But don't frantically apply for fouls on the court!

He originally wanted to say a few words, but the atmosphere in the entire locker room had been ignited by Li Gang's words, and everyone was gearing up to make a big move, and a few restless ones even stood on their chairs and screamed. Rappers shook his head helplessly, now that he can't even talk about it, let's let the boys get ready to play!

Tonight's game is barely the main event, with Villanova University and the University of Minnesota currently at the top of their respective leagues, and more importantly, the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers have potential lottery pick Bobby Jackson, so this game also attracted scouts from multiple NBA teams to gather information.

Just as the players from both sides began to enter, in a corner of the east stand, two men in peaked caps with their faces hidden in the shadows whispered. Judging from the voice, it should be a veteran with a rookie, which is also the customary rule of scouts, newcomers, always need seniors to take a few trips to really mature.

The younger man sitting on the left whispered, "Mr. Robinson, which players are we going to focus on in this game?" I've heard that Villanova's big guy named Tim Thomas is very nice......"

The middle-aged man he called Mr. Robinson smiled and said, "Jack, that's the first thing I'm going to tell you, not every star player is a good fit for our team, especially when we don't have a lot of high-pick picks on our hands. We've got Rahim on the inside, do you think we still need a big man? ”

Jack suddenly realized, and he said eagerly, "I know, I know, this time we're here to observe Bobby Jackson, right?" He's the strongest defender of the two teams! ”

Robinson nodded: "That's right, I hope this little guy behaves better today." Judging by our team's poor performance this season, next year's draft picks are definitely relatively high, and I don't want to lose money. ”

While the two of them were talking to each other, the game was already underway, and the fans at Villanova University on the sidelines were cheering for their school's team. Most of them just watched the excitement, but a very few people saw the clue, Villanova University actually changed the starting lineup in this game, and the very unfamiliar No. 27 was a secret weapon specially released against the University of Minnesota?

The voice of the live DJ Riddle also sounded through the speakers throughout the stadium in due course: "Aha! See what I found? Our starting point guard today was not John Selesstand, but Chris Lee, who had played almost exclusively in garbage time! I'm sorry, I don't have a problem with him, but Mr. Rappers, do you think this would be useful? ”

Completely ignoring Riddle's doubts, Rappers was nervously watching the game inside the stadium. Although Thomas touched the ball first when he jumped the ball, the ball was still snatched by Jackson, and the first wave of the game came from the University of Minnesota.

Jackson also noticed that the top defender was a fresh face, this guy was not at all among the key figures assigned by the coach before the start of the game, and Jackson directly regarded him as air. He controlled the ball steadily while directing his teammates to get in position, and as the team's top scorer, he didn't mind giving his opponent a dismissal.

Lee stood across from him, his center of gravity slightly lowered, his arms spread out, preventing him from breaking through with his speed. Lee was actually nervous, and this was the first time he had faced a star-caliber opponent on his own, and if you looked closely, you could see that his calves were shaking slightly, which was a muscle spasm caused by excessive tension.

Jackson apparently noticed this, and he smiled slightly, and the speed of the dribble suddenly increased, and a cross change of direction shook Lee and went straight to the basket like a sharp sword. Thomas, who was guarding the three-second zone, was caught off guard as Jackson burst near the free-throw line and ended the fight with a throw.

He scratched his head irritably, and yelled at Li, who was still stunned: "Chris, cheer up, you said you were going to kill him, don't let Chang down!" ”
