Under Chang Wei's care, Harmon quickly returned to the field, not to mention the doctor's recovery speed, and even her teammates and coaches were taken aback. After repeatedly confirming that Harmon was 100% recovered, the head coach of the women's basketball team, Liggins, was overjoyed, and even paid out of his own pocket to invite Chang Wei to a meal and thank him for everything he had done for the women's basketball team.

Chang Wei was also a little dark-bellied, and quietly accepted Ligkins' invitation. The two of them were half-drunk, and he pretended to inadvertently find out the relationship between himself and Harmon, and after Liggins heard it, he suddenly felt that the table of food was tasteless, so he could only hide to the side and look up to his wallet and sigh: This guy is really poisonous!

Harmon returned to the team healthy, and Chang Wei naturally put the focus of his work back on the Rams. I have to say that this season's Colorado State University has indeed been reborn, but in Changwei's more than a month of sheep herding process, they still quietly slipped to the third place in the division, and were left behind by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and the University of Tulsa.

This discouraged McKay a bit, and the Western Conference Athletic League team is divided into two divisions, one is the mountain division and the other is the Pacific division, and the Colorado State is undoubtedly in the mountain division. The league's tournament winners are an interesting one, with the top two teams in the Mountain and Pacific divisions automatically advancing to the quarterfinals, while the other four quarter-finals are determined by teams from third to sixth place in both divisions, and then according to the normal draw until the winner is determined.

If UC can't overtake the University of Tulsa to become the top two in the Mountain Division, they'll have to play one more round to fight for the remaining quarter-finals. For Mackay, playing one more game means taking one more risk, after all, all NCAA tournaments are a one-game winner, and it is not uncommon for strong teams to capsize in the gutter, not to mention that they are only the third-third team in a minor league, and they can be eliminated in a game at any time.

However, Chang Wei didn't care, and after learning McKay's idea, he even took the initiative to dismiss the relatively junior rookie coach: "Although playing one more round will increase the risk of us being eliminated, it will also allow the players to get into the state quickly." It's better to find form against teams at the bottom of the table than against strong teams. ”

McKay is still a little unconfident, and this is the first time he's had the chance to lead a team to a national championship (like you've been a head coach for years), so there's always been a bit of a take-off. Chang Wei doesn't care about him so much, just give the players a bowl of chicken soup for the soul, as long as the players don't coax, the coach doesn't seem to be a big problem.

Chang Wei is very skilled in psychological counseling, don't forget that he is a minor in sports psychology, and it is not difficult for him to boil a pot of chicken soup for the players. After obtaining McKay's consent, Chang Wei deliberately left everyone behind after the training session, and went to the small conference room one by one to chat with him individually. Although I didn't understand it, the aftermath of Chang Wei's pre-season devil special training was still there, and everyone obediently followed the instructions and entered the conference room directly in the order of the jersey number.

Except for these players, no one knows what Chang Wei said to them in the conference room, and he knows that he won't talk too much when he thinks about it on his knees, after all, it only takes two or three minutes for everyone to go in, and at most he can speak a few hundred words, after all, people do psychological counseling, not memorizing texts, and if they change to the latter, more than a thousand words in two or three minutes are not a problem.

McKay didn't know what Chang Wei was doing, but he found that from the next day, the players were more energetic in training, and the level of desperateness when they fought in groups was like playing training as a regular game, and they were not afraid of injury at all. When Mackay privately asked them why they were so combative, everyone had an unfathomable smile on their faces, and they were tight-lipped about him as the head coach, making Mackay subconsciously think that Chang Wei had performed some kind of witchcraft from the East on them.

When McKay found Chang Wei with a stomach full of doubts, the latter didn't tell him what happened in the conference room that afternoon, but just smiled and said, "For the sake of the team's good performance this season, let's set a small goal first!" ”

McKay subconsciously asked, "What small goal?" ”

Chang Wei raised a finger and smiled without subtracting half a point: "Of course I have entered the national championship." ”

"Isn't that our ultimate goal?" As soon as McKay spoke, he saw the smiling expression on Chang Wei's face, and a lightning bolt seemed to pass through his mind. Reaching the national championship is just a small goal? How big is the heart of this guy in front of you? Has he gone mad and thought of Colorado as the Villanova he once played for?

Chang Weike didn't care what he thought, he just said to himself: "I know this sounds arrogant, but I believe that everyone can go to a higher level. Mr. Mackay, think about how you would feel if the team was just playing one round in the National Championships. What will the national fans think of our team? ”

"It's true that making it to the National Championship is a great achievement for Colorado State, but if we're just cannon fodder, how many fans will remember us? You know, we don't have stars, we don't play beautiful games, we don't have fans who want to pay attention to us, do you really want to see that happen? ”

Chang Wei's impassioned words and wide-opening and closing movements startled McKay, and the sky was pitiful...... He always thought that Chinese were not good at expressing their feelings, but today Chang Wei let him see different Chinese. McKay felt that Chang Wei was a madman now, but the madman's remarks made his blood boil.

As he said, Colorado State is a weak team, they don't have stars, they can't attract the attention of fans, and the only thing that can get them into the mainstream media is their record. If they become a dark horse in the national championship, even if they don't make it to the final four, they can use their blockbuster to recruit more outstanding high school players and make the next season even stronger, which is undoubtedly a huge temptation!

Mackay's face turned red, too, from being so excited that his blood was surging. He took a few deep breaths and held Chang Wei's hand tightly: "Chang, I know that the team can become what it is now has a lot to do with you, it is you who have made them a stronger existence, so I support your idea, let's go to the national championship and destroy it wildly!" ”
