God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 143
The NCAA schedule seems to be too many to explode, but there is no pressure on any team. Anyway, the regular season adds up to more than 30 games, and everyone can bear it.

Not to mention Colorado State University, in addition to facing a tough battle against strong teams in other leagues, almost all other teams in the same league can be completely crushed. This kind of dominance also makes McKay dare to lower the starting player The average playing time per game allows them to rest while also adding some game experience to the substitutes.

The only difference from the first half of the season is that Chang Wei has participated in more game tactics. Although most of them are based on McKay's opinions, Chang Wei still seized the opportunity to give his own suggestions.McKay didn't care about this, and was even happy to see the results. First, he let Chang Wei start learning tactics, and second, Chang Wei's opinions really hit the nail on the head.

In the game against the University of Arizona, if Chang Wei hadn't suggested replacing Ford with Svensey to play a fast offense for the first and fourth juniors, Colorado State would have suffered another defeat.Faced with Chang Wei's performance, McKay also had to admit that this guy does have the potential to become a master tactician. Among other things, his ability to break the game is beyond the reach of many head coaches. Training also has an eye for selection. McKay feels that Chang Wei has the qualifications to become a famous coach.

It's a pity that Chang Wei is not interested in this. Although he is not sure whether he will formally coach a team in the future, at least he has no idea about this position now.In fact, a lazy person like him is really rare. Other assistant coaches are not head coaches because they know they don't have the ability. He has the ability but he just doesn't want to do it.

However, while studying tactics, Chang Wei did not forget his old profession.Under his training, among the starting lineup of Colorado State University, only Patrick has an overall score below 80. Even Ford, who has always been doing dirty work under the basket, has reached 81. The other three Personally, West is 90, Palesio is 88, and Korver is 85. This is completely at the level of a first-class player in the NCAA. Chang Wei really can't think of a reason for the team not to win the championship.

Now Colorado State University can be said to be the best in the Western Mountain League, leaving other teams far behind. From the perspective of record alone, even if they lose a few games, their position at the top of the league is still high. It may not be able to shake.Besides, the final league championship is determined by the league's internal championship. Even if Colorado State takes a nap and is overtaken by other teams, it can still beat everyone in the league championship.

In fact, when the Western Mountain League was formed, some teams were still very happy. After all, they rarely got a chance to get ahead in the original league.But what they didn't expect was that in such a small league, there could be a strong team that could beat the University of Arizona. Isn't that a shark in a small fish tank?And there were no signs.You must know that before this, they have basically never heard of the name of Colorado State University!
Of course, these are out of Chang Wei’s control. Although the fans would like to see strong dialogues, from the perspective of coaches and players, they can’t wait to slam their opponents in every game. It’s better to kill them. Twenty or thirty minutes.As long as they are true diehards, they are absolutely willing to watch the massacre. In any case, this also means that the team's overall strength is strong.

However, with the current spirit of the Colorado State players, it is estimated that other teams will find it difficult to take advantage of them. They can only watch them run farther and farther with heartache, while they tragically eat dust behind.After the regular season, Colorado State easily won the first place in the regular season with a record of 29 wins and 5 losses, and the next goal is the league championship.

Here I have to mention the most tragic team in the entire league, San Diego State University.The juniors who joined the NCAA in 1969 last entered the national championship in the 1984-85 season, and it was only a round trip. An extremely embarrassing 0 wins and 14 losses, and a direct defeat against seven other teams, which also made their coaching staff and players feel a little ashamed.

Facing what happened to San Diego State University, Colorado State University just expressed a little bit of sympathy, and began its journey in the league championship stage.Since there are only 8 teams in the Western Mountain League, we didn't continue to use the tournament system for the top few players. We might as well play a single knockout game together until the final league champion is decided.

All eight-to-four games are scheduled on March 3th, and as the team with the first record in the regular season, the Colorado State University game will naturally be placed in the last game.However, there was a little surprise in the first three games. In addition to the smooth promotion of the third University of Utah, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and the University of New Mexico were counterattacked by their opponents, and they were snatched by the University of Wyoming and Brigham Young University. strong position.

Their performance once ignited the confidence of the last-ranked San Diego State University, but soon Colorado State University told them that the huge gap in strength will not be easily smoothed out. 87 to 62, they easily sent a disastrous defeat to San Diego State University and got the last ticket to the Final Four.After the game, San Diego State University's newly hired head coach Steve Fisher couldn't help feeling that the strength of Colorado State University can no longer be won by fluke by walking slanted forward.

In the first game of the semifinals, the University of Wyoming played against Colorado State University. This team with no stars suddenly broke out with strong combat effectiveness, and even took the lead at one point.McKay immediately resorted to the team's iron-blooded defense, causing consecutive mistakes by the opponent, while he played a fast-break counterattack and quickly stabilized the situation.But in the end Colorado State also won very hard, 97 to 90, which is the third highest score they allowed their opponent to get in a single game this season.

Another team that entered the finals is the University of Utah, an old acquaintance of Colorado State University. Although they have shown a good competitive state in the previous games, the shadow of losing to Colorado State University in the Western Conference last season is still there. They didn't disperse, and they also didn't have any chance in this game, and they lost 75 to 87.

After winning the league championship, the entire Colorado State team did not feel any excitement. Anyway, they have always been bound to win this championship. For them, the real opponent is still in the national championship.
