God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 150
After successfully reaching the final four, McKay generously invited the whole team to eat and drink, as a celebration of creating a record in team history.But everyone knows that this is not the end of this season. From the first round to the conference finals, winning consecutive victories over strong opponents has given them great confidence. Who can say that they have no hope of winning the NCAA championship?
So even though the previous night was high and late, everyone gathered in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel on time at 8:[-] the next morning, preparing to go to Indianapolis, the venue for the Final Four.This time the players were not as exhausted fighting each other on the flight as before. Everyone took the time to recharge their batteries and try their best to prepare for the next game.

After several hours of flying, the flight finally landed at Indianapolis International Airport. After receiving the checked luggage, the coaches and players walked towards the exit in an orderly manner.But the sharp-eyed Chang Wei suddenly saw a few familiar figures, and he yelled, "Malik, why are you here?" regardless of the reactions of others.

Chang Wei's voice was loud, and those people also stopped. The leading big man turned his head, and the expression on his face instantly became richer. It was Villanova's starting center Malik Allen.After talking to his companions, he hurried over and kept smirking at Chang Wei.Chang Wei patted his arm and said angrily: "Don't laugh like a fool in public, tell me why you are here at this time."

Allen scratched his head and smiled innocently: "What else is there to do in Indianapolis at this time? Isn't it just to watch the NCAA Final Four? By the way, Chang, congratulations on reaching the Final Four. I hope you can get The final champion, just like Villanova back then." Speaking of the last sentence, Allen's voice became low again.

Seeing Alan's somewhat embarrassed expression, Chang Wei asked curiously: "It sounds like Villanova's situation is very bad now, can you tell me what's going on? To be honest, I haven't paid attention to you for a long time... ..."

"Us? What do we care about now?" Allen said with a wry smile. "Last season, the team was able to stumble into the national championship, but it was only a round trip. This year, it simply missed the championship...Forget it, I’m graduating soon and going into the draft, so what’s the point? The Villanova Wildcats don’t have anything to do with me anymore.”

Although what Allen said was unclear, Chang Wei could still guess what happened to Villanova, and couldn't help sighing secretly in his heart.When he left, he knew that with Wright's self-willed character and terrible vision, Villanova would decline one day, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.You must know that Villanova was still the NCAA champion in the 1997-98 season. After Wright took over, he failed to enter the national championship once and for all, which is a tragedy.

And Chang Wei can clearly see the envy in Allen's eyes. The reason is very simple. In the first two seasons, no one knew which small team Colorado State was in a corner, but this year they reached the final four. Strong, such a rapid rise is quite rare in the entire NCAA history.As a personal experiencer, Allen naturally knows what role Chang Wei played in it, and Rappers had no choice but to leave, but in his opinion, if Chang Wei can stay, Villanova has a chance to win again. A champion, but right now it's all only if.

Soon, the two Villanova guards Lynch and Maidley who had also trained under Chang Wei also ran over to say hello. Only then did Chang Wei know that a few of their players organized a group to watch the game in private this time. .Although Villanova did not reach the national championship this season, they still hope to see the NCAA's most peak matchup.

After chatting for a few words, everyone bid farewell to each other. Chang Wei was going to join the team, and Allen and the others were also going to check in at the hotel they had booked.However, according to Allen, they will wear Colorado State University jerseys and go to the scene to cheer for Chang Wei and the others. Since they cannot win the championship, it seems good for Chang Wei, who is a mentor and friend, to win the championship.

After getting on the bus to the hotel, Chang Wei still seemed a little depressed, which was in stark contrast to the high spirits when he just got off the plane.All of this was seen by McKay. Just now Chang Wei went to chat with a few guys who were obviously players, and he saw everything in his eyes. Negative energy cannot get rid of the relationship.

Faced with McKay's question, Chang Wei said distressedly: "The team I worked for before I left had a bad record. They couldn't even enter the national championship this year. Although I enjoy working at Colorado State University, But when I think of my old club falling so quickly, I still feel a little uncomfortable, just let me take a rest."

McKay smiled and opened up the conversation. After all, Chang Wei is now his right-hand man. If Chang Wei's poor state affects the team's preparations, he really doesn't know where to cry. "The NCAA is different from the NBA. There are not many players who transfer, but it is common for coaches to change jobs. So I once had the same idea as you. Seeing that the team I coached before is getting worse and worse, I feel very bad, but in the end I'm still relieved."

"Just like Duke's old K, he has coached this team for many seasons, but he will retire one day and hand over the tactical board to the next head coach. I believe he will also feel sad at that time, but Duke has reached great heights in his hands, and that's enough, and he just has to remember how great he was when he coached this team."

"Chang, I know you helped Villanova win a championship, which is great, so you just need to remember that championship. You were there when they were at their best, and you don't have to feel sad after leaving, after all you Brought back great memories for them. Even if the Villanova fans hate steel, they appreciate you."

A smile finally appeared on Chang Wei's face. He nodded and said, "Coach, I understand. Don't worry, I won't let my personal emotions affect the team's preparations. Besides, I also want to fight for the Colorado State University." A championship trophy so that I won’t regret leaving in the future, and that’s what you just taught me.”

McKay gave him a thumbs up: "Yes, Chang, and I think so too. Helping a team continue to create historical records, is this exciting enough anyway?"
