You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 45
The victory over Georgetown was a disconnect, and Wescha realized how he should play the four.Not hand-to-hand combat, not hardtops -- there's no denying that those two things are important.What's more important is to use his strengths and correctly understand what Jay Wright needs from him.

His anticipation of rebounding is good, and his athletic ability to fill the court with his figure is also a big advantage.

After Georgetown, the Wildcats faced off against the University of Pittsburgh Panthers, currently ranked No. [-] in the Big East.

Before this year, the Panthers dominated the Big East.

In the previous three years, without exception, they all aspired to the Big East Championship.

The University of Connecticut has made great efforts, and its enrollment is extremely strong. It has introduced the Huskies with royal blood for several years in a row. The players with NBA prospects in the team need to be counted with two hands.

Connecticut has the most talent in the Big East, but Pittsburgh still has the team that has dominated the Big East for the past few years and currently ranks first in the division.

Against the Panthers, Wright didn't let Weixia start.

Wei Xia came off the bench, habitually played 26 minutes in a row, scored 14 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, almost becoming Villanova's only bright spot that night.

The Panthers easily defeated the Wildcats, and the big cats beat the kittens, which seemed inevitable, but Wright made up his mind after that game and made Weixia the team's starting power forward.

He asked Wei Xia seriously: "Are you ready to play more than 35 minutes per game?"

Wei Xia's answer was: "I can play 40 minutes."

At that point, there were seven games left in the Big East Championship.

Wei Xia's first game as an official starter was against West Virginia University.

There are some similarities between West Virginia and Pittsburgh.

None of their teams are NBA prospects, but the NCAA game is very different.

Some new stars who have killed the Quartet in the NBA are not as good as some veterans who can't play in the NBA when they play in the NCAA.

West Virginia is a team with many mature and immediate combat capabilities.

Four of them scored in double figures per game, and two of them averaged 8 and 9 points per game.

Due to the large number of firepower points, it is very difficult to defend.

The two sides fought hard, and Wei Xia said that he could play for 40 minutes, which was a prophecy.He has played power forward and guard successively in the game.

In the 11th minute of the second half, Wright reacted on the spot and asked Wescia, who played most of the power forward, to face West Virginia University's ace player Drew Schifino.

Hiffino has an output of 17 points per game. As a 190 cm offensive guard, he is the key figure in West Virginia's game.

Moreover, he is not a ball-handling style of play.

He's good at catch and shoot.

Letting Wei Xia defend him is like meeting two professional counterparts.

After playing power forward for such a long time, Wei Xia felt a little calm when he suddenly faced the guard.

Weixia's defense kept Hifino from touching the ball for 3 minutes.

Three and a half minutes later, Hifino touched the ball and was blocked by Wei Xia during the attack.

Three-and-a-half minutes of zero output was devastating to West Virginia.

When Wei Xia scored a zero against Hifino, he was not idle on the offensive end.He completed two counterattacks and a throw after an air cut.

打满三节大半的他攻下15分6篮板3助攻，剩下的5分钟，又取下4分1篮板1助攻。

West Virginia's core player Hiffino scored only 9 points in a full 3 minutes under his key care.

"Wish's defense helped Villanova win the game!"

Wei Xia, who played the whole game and scored 19 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, was elected the best player.He has finally begun to be like those rising stars with NBA prospects, not only is he effective on the spot, but his statistics are also beautiful.

Wei Xia has completely secured his starting position.

In the next game against Virginia Tech, due to the large gap in strength between the two sides, Wei Xia "only" played 31 minutes, understatedly scoring 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists to get off work.

Virginia Tech star guard Zabi Dowd expressed the sentiments of everyone who has played against Vershaw: "From the statistics, he is just an ordinary college player, but after playing him, I found that he is much better than his statistics reflect."

"In addition to the stability of shooting, he looks like a top college player." Draft expert Chad Ford believes that Wesha has a first-round prospect. "He can be selected in the first round in most draft years. He is a perfect team player, but if he wants to gain a foothold in a high-level league, he needs to improve his shooting details."

The outside chatter didn't affect Villanova University.

Winning Virginia Tech, they faced Seton Hall University, ranked sixth in the Big East.

The two sides may meet in the playoffs of the Big East Conference Championship, and the two sides regard this battle as a preseason battle for the playoffs.

Wei Xia was already ready to play 40 minutes again.

Who knows that Aaron Ray, Randy Foye and Curtis Sumpter have had enough of being dominated by him, and they combined for 54 points in this battle, and their three-pointers made the Buccaneers dizzy.

With a big lead, Wei Xia only needs to do some simple things to ensure the team wins.

In the end, he scored 8 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.

Villanova's winning streak can't stop at all.

Since Weixia was righted, they won the remaining seven divisional championship regular season games.

Weixia's data has improved a lot during this period.

It turned out that he only averaged 8+4+2 per game. Since the outbreak against Georgetown University, he scored in double figures in 8 games in nine games, and his average per game suddenly increased to 10.5 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists.

The regular season has come to an end.

The top six teams in the Big East will qualify for the March Madness Tournament.

Before that, they have to decide the champion of the playoffs.

Not surprisingly, Villanova's opponent in the first round of the playoffs was Seton Hall, who played not long ago.

Against Seton Hall, the Wildcats have an edge in mind.

Villanueva has won both of the two regional championships this season.

The postseason format for the Division Championships is the same as for the March National Championships.It is a decisive game, so the winning experience of the regular season can only be used as a reference.

If the outcome is determined by a game, anything can happen.

Before leaving, Wei Xia was very excited.

The Big East playoffs are not played at home or away.

They're heading to New York to play at one of the most famous stadiums in the world -- Madison Gardens.
