In the first ten games of the new season, Vilan Newell only played one league civil war. The opponent was Connecticut, the overlord of the Big East.

Of course, they lost that game.

This year, Kangda claims to have ten players with NBA prospects. It is not only the overlord of the Big East League, but also the favorites of national championships.

Except for Kangda, Villanova lost only one game in the other nine games.

Wei Xia’s good days are over, and the impact of the protective mask exceeds expectations.

His defense can still be maintained, and the offense feels completely wrong. Moreover, when he is sweating, the mask used to protect his nose becomes a burden, as if there are hundreds of small bugs crawling on his face but cannot scratch it.

Performance declined, and the draft market declined.

With Villanueva's three-game losing streak, Wei Xia's draft market slipped to the second round.

Some scouts believed that the mask affected his performance, but what really made him fall was his physical fitness.

Wei Xia's athletic ability is amazing, but athletic ability is not the whole part of physical fitness.

In John Haflicek's era, players' physical fitness was generally poor, and there were not many modern forwards flying in the sky and earth. Therefore, the problem of his insufficient explosive power was not obvious in the early days.

The same issue is worth discussing in modern times.

Wei Xia is positioned as a double-energy guard, but the double-energy guard also takes physical fitness. His mid-range shots are unstable and he plays easily in college games. Can he still enter the NBA?

Scouts think he can play in the NBA, but they think his ceiling is just a role player.

Therefore, his market is at the end of the first round and the beginning of the second round.

Wei Xia was not very concerned about the comments given to him by the scouts, he just wanted to recover as soon as possible. Jay Wright allowed him to recover with peace of mind, because no matter how anxious he was, the injury on his nose could not be said to be good.

Wei Xia was not defeated by injuries. The more injured he was, the harder he trained.

The worse he performed during the game, the more he sweated on the training ground. In order to adapt to the existence of the mask, he even wore it to sleep.

Wei Xia is in a dream.

Or, that's not a dream.

It was on the journey to the old days.

He was used to the feeling of traveling through time and space. At first, it was like riding a roller coaster. He was worried that he would fall to pieces after a sudden stop.

For several years, he had to come here every night, so he would not be frightened again.

At this time, Havlicek in the old days, his game progressed much faster.

In reality, Wei Xia was plagued by injuries. Havlicek in the old days - it was 1960. Except for Havlicek, the other four starters at Ohio State University have the strength to average double-digit scores per game.

It was through that time that Wei Xia learned why Havlicek chose to start his career by starting with defense.

This has something to do with teammates.

Because his teammates scored strongly, he majored in defense.

This is the case in his future life. It is the external force that forces him to make himself better.

Joining the Celtics in 1962, he used his athleticism just like he was in Ohio State, catching the "floor magician" passes of Bob Cousey who bid farewell to the season to launch the famous Boston fast break.

After the Celtic dynasty grew old, he began to take the lead again.

In 1969, Bill Russell retired, and the Celtics who lost their axes needed another engine. Then he became the earliest organizational striker in history, along with Rick Barry, who cultivated himself from the ABA and had not learned to speak but could do human affairs.

He was always pushed away.

Wei Xia wanted to change his life many times, but every time he made changes, the next time he entered the old time, he always returned to before the change happened.

The more successful Haflicek was in the old days, the harder Wei Xia trained in reality.

Haflicek, in his sophomore season, has led the team to sweep the NCAA, and he is in a better era, and there is no clause for a freshman to ban the competition, so he deserves to do better.

He shuttled back and forth between the old times and reality.

In the old days, Havlicek became a Russian defensive expert. Even though it was often the team's last offensive choice, he was always the first player to return to defense when the offense and defense was converted quickly.

At the same time, the best player in Russia that year was not Havlicek, but future Hall of Fame center Jerry Lucas.

This person is a white man, only James' height, and he was the highly anticipated white insider hope at the time. He averaged only 17 points and 17 rebounds per game since his rookie season. He has averaged 20 points and 20 rebounds per game for two consecutive seasons and 20 points and 19 rebounds per game for two consecutive seasons.

Under Lucas' leadership, Haflicecke became Robin next to Batman, and won the Big 10 league championship with 13 wins and 1 defeat in his sophomore season. He defeated West Kentucky, Georgia Tech, and New York University all the way in the NCAA March Championship, and easily won the title with a 75:55 blow to the University of California in the championship game.

Wei Xia personally experienced this crazy game.

When Haflicek led the team to win the championship in the old days, Villanova struggled.

In the middle of the season, Jason Fraser suffered an injury, and the Wildcats' Optimus Prime broke the block, losing the barrier in the interior, and putting on the four-guard lineup was like suicide.

In mid-February, Villanova welcomed Jason Fraser back.

At that time, there were nine games left in the regular season of the Big East Championship, and Villanova ranked fourth in the league. If you don’t want to meet a strong team in the first round of the playoffs, it’s better to stabilize your ranking at third.

In this way, you only need to play against the fourth-ranked team in the first round of the playoffs. Although you don’t have much advantage, the gap between the third and fourth places is not much different. Whoever wins and loses depends on their own abilities.

Fraser made his debut back, Villanova University faced Georgetown University.

Georgetown University was once a prosperous man in the last century. Since legendary coach John Thompson retired, the team's record has plummeted. Not to mention the recreation of the grand scene of the national championship game regular in the 1980s, they can't even play in the Big East League.

Before the start of this game, Wright suddenly announced that Wei Xia was temporarily the starting fourth position.

And, for the first time, he told Wei Xia what he should do.

"I don't care how many rebounds you can grab. I don't care whether you can defend successfully. I just want you to run to death your opponent." Wright knew that there would be many problems before he let Wei Xia be the power forward. Therefore, he needs Wei Xia to relax, and the problems he encounters are inevitable.

It would be too evil if a defender suddenly went to play against the power forward.

Weisha regarded Wright's words as a lowering of his demands.

If Wright had this idea, he should have made it clear at the beginning. After so many games, Wei Xia did struggle, so he lowered his requirements. After all, it was indeed a bit difficult for players who were transferred to defenders to be the power forward.

What Wright didn't know was that his lowering of his requirements was more unbearable for Wei Xia than not letting him play as a starting player.

He has never disappointed since he entered the old days.

He believed that he could complete all the instructions the coach had ordered.

Even if he is allowed to play power forward across positions.

He appeared calmly, at first glance, no different from usual. But his pupils flashed with flames, and his body ignited a strong fighting spirit. He was far inferior to Georgetown starting power forward Brandon Bowman, but the opponent was not an offensive inside player.

Bowman's scoring methods mainly rely on pick-and-roll cuts and second-offensives.

While Wei Xia was dead, he used his experience inherited from Havlicek to compete for every out-of-control ball.

He did not win the confrontation with Bowman, but his control of long rebounds and prediction of frontcourt rebounds surprised the Wildcats' coaching staff.

With anger that wanted to prove himself, Wei Xia seemed to have become the 14-year-old child who came to Haflicke to fight the retirement battle, scoring a new NCAA career score/rebound high for Georgetown University - 22 points, 13 rebounds and 2 assists.

Coach Wright, who ignited the fire, looked at his left and right: "Who got angry with him? He did a pretty job!"
