God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 105
After defeating Gonzaga University, Colorado State ushered in a wave of three-game winning streak, which also allowed them to occupy the top spot in the Western Conference.But this is just a small league with weak strength, and the top position does not have much value.

But after three consecutive victories, the Colorado State general encountered the first strong opponent of the season, the University of Rhode Island from the Atlantic Ten League.The name of this team is very interesting. It is called the Rams like Colorado State University, and even the English name is the same as Rams, which brings some different colors to the competition between the two sides.

There is also an old acquaintance of Chang Wei in the University of Rhode Island team. It was Lamar Odom, the player he was tempted by last summer but finally chose to give up because of the opponent's bad deeds off the court.This guy is indeed a talented insider. Even the endless off-court troubles have not stopped him from leading the team forward. So far, Odom has averaged 18.5 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. The number one star at the University of Rhode Island.

Chang Wei learned from the system that Odom's ability value has reached 87. Although it is only 87 at the NCAA level, it is terrifying enough.At least no one in the Colorado State team can match him now, not to mention the team's own weak inside line. After the game starts, it may be directly blown by Odom.

McKay is also aware of this problem, so in the past few days he has specially strengthened the training of the inside players on the defensive end.However, he himself does not know whether this kind of training is effective. After all, Odom is 2 meters tall. He has both speed, strength and technique. There is basically no pressure to play the inside lines of Colorado State University. He is doing it now just to masturbate That's all.

For McKay's targeted training, Chang Wei did not comment. In many cases, the level of talent limits the upper limit that a player can achieve. NBA legend "Cardinal" Auerbach once said: "Height can never be taught." It's a matter of size, so Odom's height advantage over Colorado State's inside players cannot be erased.

In Chang Wei's view, if he can't defend his opponent, it's better to let him score. Although there are games in which one person beats a team in the history of basketball, there are very few games, and with Odom's talent and Strength is absolutely impossible to do this.As long as the passing lanes are strangled and other Rhode Island players are guarded, this game should still have a great chance of winning.If you really want to head-on with Odom inside, then the result of the game will be hard to say.

Perhaps due to the influence of Chang Wei, several inside players were trained terribly by McKay. Fortunately, they have tried Chang Wei's hell-style training before, so although they are also very tired this time, they can still survive.However, when they came to ask Chang Wei for a magical drink, Chang Wei hesitated because of insufficient raw materials. The system said that the drink can only be effective when it is determined that the person in charge of the training is Chang Wei, otherwise even a bottle Water is not as good.

It can be seen from this that McKay is still very nervous. This is also the first strong team that Colorado State University has encountered in a true sense this season. Currently, the University of Rhode Island has also maintained a complete victory, and their opponents are stronger than Colorado State University. It should be a few grades stronger.Coupled with an all-around insider Odom, everyone who pays attention to this game is not very optimistic about Colorado State University.

The one-sided comments in the media are also the reason why Colorado State players grit their teeth and train hard. No one wants to be looked down upon by the outside world, especially when the team has won three consecutive victories. Everyone hopes that this wave of victories will be okay continue.What's more, now whenever the Colorado Rams play at home, the arena is almost full, which is a world of difference from the first game. Even for the fans, they have to try their best to try to beat their opponents.

Palesio also practiced extra training very consciously. He knew that if the inside line couldn't stop the opponent, then he had to open the situation from the outside line.He has also watched Odom's game video, but he doesn't quite believe that he can take advantage of such a guy whose movement speed is comparable to that of a guard. Outside shooting may be a better offensive method.

However, in Chang Wei's view, the key to Colorado State's victory in this game lies in Goodwin.Although he has the height of a standard small forward, he plays a power forward in Colorado, which means he has to match up with Odom in the game.Of course, no one expects him to be able to restrain Odom, including Chang Wei. The difference in ability between the two is a bit much, as long as Goodwin can guarantee that he can perform normally when facing Odom.

As long as Odom fails to take advantage of him, the morale of the University of Rhode Island will be hit. After all, they are used to their top star playing the opponent's inside players during the game.Once Odom has the advantage in the interior, they can attack unscrupulously, so Goodwin's play is very important.

But Chang Wei didn't intend to explain these things to Goodwin. Firstly, this is the job of the head coach. As an assistant coach, he has neither the right nor the interest to ask about it; I felt nervous at the beginning, but if I perform abnormally due to excessive nervousness, wouldn't that directly give the advantage to the opponent?

And Goodwin has improved a lot now, playing more like an inside player, which was not seen before the start of the season.Now that he has worked hard to improve his own strength, there is no need to be too demanding. After all, this season is not the only one game, and if he loses, he can wait until the national championship for revenge.

Of course, Goodwin himself knows what kind of opponent he will face at that time, so among all the inside players who have increased training time, he has worked the hardest and most seriously, in order to prevent the team from playing at power forward. Lost in position.But he is really a little nervous, and now he is just an unknown player, and Odom is already a top insider in the NCAA, and he consciously put himself in the position of a challenger.

If you can beat Odom in one-on-one, wouldn't you be famous in the NCAA?Such a temptation is difficult for Goodwin to resist, but he doesn't really believe that he can really challenge Odom head-on, and the specific situation will have to wait until the game to see the real chapter.
