Chapter 36: Little Cookies

Rappers was kind enough not to let the players sit upright and listen to his tactics, but even if he did, the only thing he could do was the few water cooler keepers who didn't play much in the first half.

Everyone thought they were tired against Wake Forest, but in fact, the only person who consumed a lot of energy in that game was Thomas, and the rest of the people had negligible attrition. This time against North Carolina, almost every main player felt powerless, and only 6 points behind was completely the result of their desperate efforts.

Basically, Chang Wei became the busiest person in the dressing room, including the team's doctors, and everyone worked hard to help the players relieve fatigue and cope with the second half of the game. Just when Chang Wei was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, there was a sudden "ding" in his mind, which meant that the system had released another task.

Chang Wei had long felt that something was not right, and for every key game before, the system would issue a task related to the game. This semi-final match against North Carolina is of course a more crucial game, with the strength of the other teams in the East Division, as long as they defeat North Carolina, the probability of winning the Eastern Conference championship and reaching the national semi-finals will be greatly improved. But until the start of the game, the system remained silent, and I didn't expect to be waiting here!

Chang Wei put down what he was doing and began to check the latest tasks of the system: to help players recover their strength, defeat North Carolina in this game, reward 25 experience points, 10 reputation points, and physical recovery cookies (shards). At the same time, the system also gave Chang Wei a one-time prop, just like the last time he helped Erwin recover, a pack of small biscuits for physical recovery.

The description of the cookies is simple: delicious cookies from an alien planet, the taste changes according to personal preference, and after use, 50% of the energy is restored. With the current function of the system, Chang Wei can't see how much physical strength Villanova's players have consumed, but looking at their sluggish appearance, the physical consumption must be more than 50%, and it is almost the same if they want to come to North Carolina, at this time, let each of them recover 50% of their physical strength, this bag of small biscuits is simply a magic weapon.

Props like cookies can be eaten directly, Chang Wei casually found a corner, transferred the cookies to reality, and then pretended to bring them himself. He opened the delicate-looking pouch and handed out the biscuits to each player, saying, "Let's try my secret biscuits, according to my experiments, it is very effective in restoring physical strength, and after eating it, I think everyone will be more sure in the second half." ”

Thomas laughed out loud without giving Chang Wei a face, he reached out and took a cookie and stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Chang, thank you for bringing us such delicious cookies, and thank you for cheering us up, but to be honest, I don't believe that such a small cookie can give us too much." But I also want to ask, how do you know I like the smell of barbecue? ”

Before Chang Wei could speak, the others said that Thomas was talking nonsense. "Who said it was barbecue-flavored? It's cheesey! "What's the smell of cheese?" I hate cheese the most, it's an authentic Mexican flavor! "Don't talk nonsense, I've never eaten such authentic Turing-root sausage-flavored cookies!"

"OK, OK, guys, now is not the time to discuss what exactly my cookies taste like. Hurry up and eat the biscuits in your hands, and then hurry up and recover your strength, okay? ”

Everyone nodded their heads, and this is indeed the most important thing at the moment. I don't know if it's a psychological effect or something else, they just feel that their whole body is full of strength now, and they can fight North Carolina for another 300 rounds.

Seeing that everyone instantly became energetic, Rappers was a little worried, he pulled Chang Wei aside and asked worriedly: "Chang, there should be no stimulants in your cookies, right?" If we find out, we won't be able to eat and walk away. ”

Chang Wei said with a smile: "Coach, this is indeed my exclusive development, I am sure that there are no illegal drugs added to it, you can rest assured, I have done what I have to do, and the rest depends on them." ”

At the start of the second half, North Carolina head coach Dean Smith's mouth was open as if he could fit a light bulb in. At half-time, he saw that his players were like dead dogs, and even Jamison and Carter, who have always been known for their physical strength, were a little sluggish, and it was clear that they had consumed too much energy in the first half.

In Smith's opinion, the overall strength of North Carolina is undoubtedly above Villanova, they have consumed so much physical strength, and the opponent should be more tired than them. But now that he's speechless, where do the Villanova players look like they're lacking in physical strength? They moved quickly around the pitch and were not stingy at all, looking unaffected by the first half at all, and the North Carolina players were dwarfed by them.

Smith was puzzled, he had considered doping, but the NCAA was strict about that, and he didn't believe that opponents would brazenly dope every player who showed up. Of course, he didn't know that Chang Wei had props in his hands that were more awesome than doping, they didn't violate the rules, there were no side effects, but the effect was outstanding.

If you don't understand, you don't, but the only way Smith can do it now is to strengthen the team's offense. Carter, who spent most of the first half playing open cuts and catch-and-shoot shots, naturally took Jamison's gun, and now he may be in the North Carolina team because his physical strength is not bad, and he is basically the only one who can support the team's offense.

But for one thing, Carter is not the top star who will be known as the "demigod" and "UFO" of the future, but he is still a sophomore and his three-point shot is not very accurate. After three consecutive shots from the perimeter, Carter had no choice but to break through with the ball and face Thomas' defense.

However, Thomas, who ate the biscuit, was like a chicken, and Carter's inevitable pull-up layup was slapped out by him. Chang Wei was indeed very prescient, he did not give Thomas a simple offensive training at the beginning, but hoped that this guy could achieve something on both offensive and defensive ends, which would undoubtedly better gain a foothold in the NBA.

And now Thomas has fully exerted his skills on the defensive end, he is under the basket, staring intently at the opponent's every move of the ball-handler, as long as someone dares to attack the basket to score, be careful of his hot pot feast.

With just two points left and North Carolina's lead in jeopardy, Smith's gray brow furrowed, and with 12 minutes remaining, Villanova could do more......
