You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 35 Let You Down

Marty Collins looks more of an Owls ace than David Hawkins.

In the first 10 minutes of the first half, Collins alone scored 21 of Temple's 12 points.He has all-round shooting skills, cutting out catch shots, changing shots with the ball, spot-up shots and amazing pull-up shots.

As far as shooting is concerned, he is a generalist, with a physique of 198 cm and a weight of 220 pounds. He has good confrontation and excellent touch. No wonder he will attract the attention of the NBA.

The Wildcats have been unable to open the game for a long time due to the lack of touch at the back line.

In the No. 11 minute of the first half, Collins rushed in with the ball and scored for Hawkins, allowing Temple University's core player Hawkins to hit a three-pointer, helping the Catheads overtake the score in one fell swoop, and Jay Wright immediately stopped the game.

"Wish!" Wright yelled, "You replace Mike."

Wei Xia said unexpectedly: "Coach, I play the fourth position?"

"No, you play the three, and Curtis plays the four." Wright let Curtis Sumpter swing to the four, and Wei Xia replaced the three.At the same time, he told Wei Xia that he will face Marty Collins next.

Since high school, Wei Xia would face the opponent's arrow every game, and he was relieved when he heard Wright's order.That's what he wanted, to play against the opponent's best player, to find his own weaknesses even if he couldn't.

Before Wei Xia played, all the freshmen in the team, except Nadir, gave him high-fives and cheered each other.

"Coach Wright made an adjustment, and Wish, a freshman from Lower Merion High School, replaced Mike Nader. Wish is a rising star that has emerged in Philadelphia in recent years. Last year, he led Lower Merion to the state championship and ranked 2003th in the 15 class of high school students in the United States."

After entering college, Wei Xia changed his jersey number.

He wore No. 30 in high school and No. 33 in college, and the fans cheered him on more than he could have imagined.He was something of a celebrity in the Philadelphia area, having led Lower Merion to a state championship a few months earlier, and everyone in Philadelphia knew about it.

Xu Jie, the conductor of the encouragement team, even encouraged other members of the encouragement team to give Wei Xia a surging drumming sound.

"It is said that Villanova's enrollment is very strong, why do you send a freshman to guard me now?" Marty Collins was so excited that he didn't pay attention to Wei Xia.

What can Wei Xia say?Don't underestimate me?Correct your attitude?Take that sentence back?I feel offended?

No, my mother told him, if the other party thinks you are not good, it is best to find the reason from yourself first.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"And a fucking Englishman."

Temple University doesn't seem to have done any research on Villanueva. Weixia is the 15th high school student in the United States, and the Wildcats' biggest gain in the summer.

"Actually, I am." Wei Xia wanted to explain, but the game started.

Wei Xia walked slowly to the bottom corner on the right.

Since each offensive round in the NCAA game is 35 seconds, academic coaches have enough time to complete annoying complex tactics one by one.

The last thing Wright likes is to complicate things.

Villanueva has a fast offensive rhythm. They play 35-second offense games under the 24-second offense rule.Jason Fry he mentioned the bottom line to cover for him.

"Are you naive or innocent?" Collins didn't expect Wei Xia to use such a crude way to move around.

The legendary No. 15 high school student in the United States?But that's all!
Yes, Collins knows Wesha's origins, but so what?What about the fifth high school student in the United States two hundred and five years ago who did the pick-and-roll for him?now what?There are a lot of talented high school students who are out of everyone's eyes!
Collins' experience allowed him to evade cover.

He is like a hunter who keeps his eyes on his prey and catches up from behind.

Wei Xia led him to run from the left to the right, but when Collins thought his running was over, Wei Xia turned back the same way and ran back again.

He had to keep up, Wei Xia's approach was of no use to him.

Making a lot of unnecessary moves can destroy the team's tactics and waste energy. Only a self-righteous rookie can make this mistake.

Collins, an old man like him, raised his face triumphantly, and then bumped into Curtis Sumpter who came from nowhere.

Wei Xia received the pass, activated his right hand, and dribbled into the owl's nest. The elders of the opponent were attracted by him, giving Fraser a huge space.

Dominating the ball for the first time in college, Wesha impressed the audience with his running ability and unselfish passing.

Frazier received the pass and dunked with both hands.

"Wish sent his first assist in his college career!"

"He seemed very calm and at ease!"

Marty Collins' cheeks were warming, he didn't expect that he would actually eat the opponent's tactical screen and let the goddamn freshman show off.

"I didn't prepare just now, you can try that trick for me next round!" Collins chased Wei Xia and shouted.

Mom told him that if the other party thinks you are not good enough, it is best to find the reason from yourself first;

If you haven't shown that you can't do it, but he still thinks you can't do it, then there is something wrong with his mind.

Wei Xia didn't even look at Collins, and returned to the defense line. His defense against the latter made Collins' teammates frightened.

The word enthusiasm seems to have been coined to describe Wescha's game.

His off-ball defense made Collins lose his presence on the court.

The Owls waited 30 seconds for Collins, hoping he could shake off a freshman defensive catch.

But let alone catch the ball, his teammates almost forgot what Collins looked like.

Versia's defense evaporated Collins from the field.

An offensive round passed, and Collins didn't touch the ball.

When it was the Wildcats' turn to attack, Wei Xia didn't touch the ball, and he still ran. It was his duty and responsibility to lead Collins to run three laps around the left and right sides.

Collins felt more and more like a dog, and Wei Xia was the one who slipped him.

"Rookie, have you fucking run enough?" Collins yelled.

"While it may disappoint you to say so, it's not yet."

Speaking of that, Wei Xia led him around again, and when his teammates finished the attack, he evaporated on the offensive end just like Collins.

Wei Xia has no possession of the ball. Wright's main purpose of playing him is to defend. Even if he does not attack, it will have little impact on the Wildcats. If Collins does not attack, the Owls will have a headache.

Because Temple University's lineup is extremely dual-core with many pitfalls.

Collins and Hawkins are the core of the offense, averaging 2/3 of the team's points per game. If one of them is blocked, they will never win.

Since Wei Xia came to defend Collins, he has not touched the ball for three consecutive rounds, and he has almost forgotten what it feels like to touch the ball.
