Chapter 103 Be Your Own Hero
Alan Ray lay on the ground, covering his right eye, bright red blood flooding half of his vision, and pain beyond imagination made the toughest man in the Wildcats scream in pain.
His teammates were panicked and no one dared to step forward because they were not doctors.
The referee called for a stop to play, and the Wildcats' team doctor was allowed to step forward.
In the Edward Jones Dome Stadium, the audience whispered and looked around. The NCAA organization itself may not be pure, but college basketball is pure. There were 80,000 spectators on the scene, and less than half of them clearly supported the two teams. Other fans came to join in the fun.
They don't want to see injuries.
"For Villanova University, nothing is worse than this!" Billy said regretfully, "Allen Ray has made four three-pointers before, and is the most accurate person on the Wildcats' outside. He is not only the best scorer of the Wildcats tonight, but also the backbone of the whole team."
Tian Gou responded and said: "I understand this feeling in particular. In the 1989 finals, for well-known reasons, I had to face the inside group in Detroit alone."
"I was too old at that time and the Lakers had no backbone, so we defeated the Pistons 4-0. Shit �
The team doctor stopped the bleeding for Lei first, and it was obvious that he could not continue the game.
Lei's right eye didn't know what kind of injury he suffered, so he had to go to the hospital, even if the game had to end early. This may be the most important game in his life.
Before Lei walked out of the field, he grabbed Wei Xia's hand tightly, as if he was going to convey his feel.
The thunder that was not swearing was all over the body, the last sentence left to the game was: "I believe you."
Then he left, as if he had taken away the enthusiasm and hope of the Wildcats.
At this moment, Jay Wright needs to make changes. He can no longer let Wei Xia play power forward. He is scarred in the confrontation with Sean May. He needs to go to the position he is most familiar with and keep a close eye on the opponent's most dangerous players.
Weisha was placed in the third position by Wright, and the Wildcats put the double towers of Jason Fraser and Steven Hill in the inside, and freshman defender Kyle Lowry replaced Ray.
"The Wildcats have always been a team that likes to be unrestrained in offense. Suddenly changing to the double tower lineup is undoubtedly a huge bet!"
The game is about to begin, with 9 minutes left, Villanova trailing North Carolina 11 points.
"We all respect heroes because they are bold, because they are brave, because they will stand up. But the main reason we respect them is because we need to be saved."
Wei Xia spoke gently and said to his teammates around him: "Now, heroes will not appear, so we have to take the blame for the world and be our own heroes - let us save ourselves!"
The audience's attention was focused on this. Neutral fans were worried that the Wildcats would collapse, but professionals knew to identify whether a team was strong. Just look at how they performed in the face of absolute adversity.
Wei Xia, who kissed the earth countless times, came to Rashad McCantz with a bruise.
McCantz looked down on Wei Xia, "Don't dare to fight against Sean. Are you coming from the outside? I will ruin you!"
From the time he finished saying that, for three minutes, McKentz forgot the shape and color of the basketball. He didn't even know what he was going to do when he stood on the court, because he couldn't get rid of Wei Xia's defense no matter how he ran.
McCantz has provoked the wrong person.
His opponent can ignore the 35 pounds weight difference and Sean May are entangled for most of the time. It is impossible for him to miss him, who has a very different height and weight, but his physical fitness is vastly different.
The double tower tactics slowed down the pace of the game, and at the same time, Mei's inside advantage disappeared.
Although he had extremely strong body and Randolph's low post footsteps, it was barely necessary to face two black, thick and hard seven-foot-long men at the same time without the three-second defense rule.
McCantz couldn't see the ball, and May's offense made consecutive misses.
While defending McCantz, Wei Xia also did insignificant work - the first fast attack!
Lowry's quick pass is very good, and he may have to give a comment about Lei's disrespect: He is the best organizational guard in the team!
"That 'i �
"What happened on the field at this time is exactly what we know!"
"The Villanova University Wildcats have the ability to defy all teams and gain the upper hand at offense and defense intensity beyond the university level!"
Tian Gou said the key: "After the wish changed to the wing, he fundamentally changed the situation. He blocked North Carolina's scoring champion tonight and shone brightly in the process of defensive counterattack!"
Jabbar knew that the Lakers were targeting Wei Xia, but this was his first time watching Wei Xia's game.
Wei Xia's style surprised and familiar to him, yes, familiar. He remembered an old opponent.
He is also 6 feet 5 inches, with a tough personality, keeping an expression on the audience, unable to run to death, and unable to get tired, just like the courage and courage of the Wildcats.
How similar?
People are easily remembered by creatures. The longer the things happen, the more time filters will be added. Perhaps that person is not as good as Jabbar imagined. He thought of killing him when he played against the finals. But now he has seen a young man almost exactly the same as that person in the 21st century.
Jabbar was greatly touched.
With 5 minutes and 34 seconds left in the game, Wei Xia shouted: "Defend them!"
So the Wildcats really defended North Carolina until they had buzzer-beating for 35 seconds.
McKentz turned into a mouse, and Wei Xia was like a cat. He ran around the sideline of the half and did not fall for a second. McKentz looked frightened. He had already asked for countless covers and pick-and-rolls. Whenever he thought someone had thrown away, he looked back and saw that the person was six feet (1.85 meters).
McCantz was so defensive that he made a loud swearing sound, and Felton had to make a strong shot against Lowry's defense.
You can tell whether the ball is in or not from the arc. Wei Xia judges that the big men at the basket will hold the ball based on the inside, so he just runs.
He ran after McKentz for 35 seconds without stopping, running towards the frontcourt with the fastest reaction and speed.
His judgment was completely correct, and Fraser protected the defensive rebound and threw it towards the frontcourt.
Wei Xia jumped up to catch the ball, took a step, and then jumped with all his strength, with elastic flat baskets, without fancy moves, just a powerful flat basket with one-handed buckle.
"The Wildcats overtake!"
"University of North Carolina requests a suspension!"
At that moment, countless people's pupils contracted, and it turned out that the aura of a college student player was so strong.
Kobe stared at the "wish", and the exciting game made his blood burn. Looking back on the Lakers this season, it was like a pool of stagnant water. Sometimes they needed the illusory "wish" (hope). Even though it was far away, as long as someone tried for it, others would do the same.
Maybe Jim is right.
Maybe that's why Mickey and Jim have an all-agreement for the first time.
Maybe we really need him.
"Maybe we need him?" Jordan muttered.
He was not optimistic about Wei Xia's potential before. His skills were too rough and he didn't look like he could grow into a dominant player at all. But how many players could grow into a dominant player? More people with high expectations have become the disappointing Kwame Brown.
What Jordan cares about and values is Wei Xia's attitude, and the leadership that changes the game trend and the momentum of the team through actions.
He may not be the best player, but he has contagious factors, and he will bring the best side of him to his teammates, thereby affecting the chemistry of the whole team.
In the long run, he may even influence the team's culture.
Jordan himself to the Bulls, Duncan to the Spurs, and Garnett to the Timberwolves. What kind of leader will have a team.
