Chapter 27: The Magician of the East
Before Erwin could answer, Rappers, who had very sharp ears, rushed up with an arrow, grabbed Chang Wei's collar and began to spit around: "Chang, do you really have a way to make Erwin get better quickly?" ”
Chang Wei patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "I can give it a try, and even if it doesn't work, it won't be worse than the current situation, right?" But you also have to think about what kind of tactics you should use to deal with Duke in the second half, and be prepared for Erwin's absence. I'll try my best, but I'm not 100 percent sure. ”
If Chang Wei patted his chest and said that he would definitely be able to do it, Lappers would subconsciously doubt him, but now that Chang Wei has spoken and made it clear that he is not absolutely sure, Rappers believes his words.
He nodded, didn't say anything, and turned to find his tactics board. Just like Chang Wei said, now you have to prepare for the worst, Erwin can't play, but the team can't admit defeat.
Chang Wei turned his head to look at Erwen who was full of excitement, still with a harmless smile on his face: "Erwin, have you thought about it?" But I can only assure you that your injuries will not be worse than they are now. ”
Erwin hurriedly agreed, but the fool didn't agree! In fact, if you want to say who has changed the most about Chang Wei's perception of Chang Wei in the whole team, it is definitely Erwin. At the beginning, he was also thinking about the team, so he resolutely opposed Chang Wei becoming the team's full-time trainer. But then Thomas, Lee or some other players improved a lot with the help of Chang Wei, and his thinking gradually changed, not to mention that he himself enjoyed such treatment later.
So in his opinion, Chang Wei is a hidden person, since he said that he can let himself play in the second half, then he must be able to, what is not 100% sure? In Erwin's opinion, that is the modesty of the Chinese!
But soon Erwin regretted it, because Chang Wei massaged his injured ankle hard, although he couldn't understand what technique was used, but Erwin knew one thing, this guy must have used all his breastfeeding strength, maybe it was for his own opposition to him joining the team and revenge!
If Chang Wei knew what he was thinking, he would definitely throw him on the physiotherapy bed and turn around and leave, and announce his personal vendetta, why don't you say that I want to play you directly? In traditional Chinese medicine, for bruises and sprains, you must use force when massaging, otherwise it will have no effect, so every time Chang Wei rubs a circle, Erwin lets out an earth-shattering scream.
The players who were listening to Rappers' explanation of tactics couldn't sit still, and they all looked over one by one, with a look of horror on their faces. For them, Erwin's current situation is simply too miserable, and they should try to pay attention to it in the future, so as not to fall into the hands of Chang, so as not to be in the same pain as Erwin.
Feeling the searching gaze of a large group of people, Chang Wei snorted, and the movements in his hands became a little heavier. While massaging, he said coldly, "What do you look at one by one?" Do you want to experience it for yourself? Hurry up and listen to the tactics well! Lest you fall too far behind at the time, Elwin won't be able to save you! ”
Thomas shrank his head and quickly turned his head back to pretend to be a good baby. Seeing that the team's top stars have done this, others did not dare to slack off and quickly returned their attention to the manager.
The half-time break was not long, and after listening to the tactical arrangement and eating something casually, everyone left the locker room and walked towards the players' tunnel. Rappers took one last look at Chang Wei with a serious face and Erwin with a sad face, and closed the door to the locker room, whether Erwin could recover smoothly or not, the game had to go on.
The second half of the game started quickly, and to be honest, Lappers didn't know what to do, and his response was to let Thomas play a tower near the free-throw line, and he had to reduce his offensive role under the basket. In other words, he's much less threatening to Duke under the basket.
When Thomas is the playmaker of the offense, everyone else has to take on the scoring load. However, perhaps due to Erwin's accidental injury, they felt cold to the hand and had a ridiculously low hit rate. At this time, Duke showed superiority in team basketball, and they did their best to keep Thomas and Lawson out, and then easily won defensive rebounds.
Less than three minutes into the second half, Villanova was beaten with a 12-4 mini-climax. Seeing that the margin was about to go to double digits, Lappers quickly called a timeout, rearranged his tactics, and continued to let Thomas attack the basket.
It worked well, but there was one point where the ball was hard to get into Thomas's hands. Duke's perimeter defense is very difficult, and many times when Brown passes the ball to the baseline, there is not much time left to attack. No matter how good Thomas is, it is difficult to put the ball in the basket in such a short period of time, which requires a lot of physical energy.
With 12 minutes left, 52-69, a huge gap of 17 points, that's what Villanova has to face. Lappers swung his tactical board and poured his saliva at the players, but he was also frustrated that it was not good to lack a guy who was good at passing the ball to the inside, especially for a team like them where the scorer is an inside player.
After a long roar, Rappers was a little disheartened, Duke was not a team that could be defeated by mere courage. He put down the tactical board in a dejected manner and whispered: "Later, everyone will try to pass the ball to the inside, let Thomas score under the basket, pay attention to the opponent's defense, don't make mistakes, we ...... Do your best! ”
Suddenly, a hand grabbed Rappers's arm, and a young voice sounded behind him: "Mr. coach, you can't do your best, there are 12 minutes left, who says we don't have a chance to win?" ”
Rappers turned his head sharply, and Chang Wei and Erwin stood side by side behind him, Erwin grinning widely. Everyone is not calm, shouldn't this guy lie on the physiotherapy bed for treatment? It's over so soon? Soon the entire bench cheered, and the appearance of the team's captain and main point guard will undoubtedly greatly affect the game.
Rappers looked at Chang Wei like a monster, and shouted excitedly: "Chang, are you a magician from the East?" I can't believe Erwin will be back in the field so soon! Well done man! ”
Chang Wei smiled: "So do you have a way to defeat Duke now?" ”
Rappers laughed and high-fived him: "Of course! Even if I can't, I'm going to bite off a piece of Duke's meat! ”
