Chapter 22 The Trip to Villanova

In the following games, McCarthy High School proved that they were the Pennsylvania overlords of the year.

No team can play with them until the fourth quarter without falling behind.

No team can lose to them by a single digit gap.

No team can stop them from getting scores of more than 75 points. You should know that the high school game only has 32 minutes, and it is not easy for high school students with rough skills and no tactical qualities to score 75 points.

They ruled Pennsylvania and became the champion of the Pennsylvania Aaaa Basketball Championship in the 2001-02 season.

As for Wei Xia, he was really unhappy, but he had to look forward.

Even Kobe, who has played for Raul Merion for four years, has only helped the team bring back a state championship.

The failure to McCarthy in high school allowed him to see his shortcomings.

He had to have a jump shot that could be played in at least high school level, but what happened in the old days was that things were limiting him.

It is true that his fate has changed because of Havlicek, but his current style of playing is also influenced by Havlicek.

Haflicek's style of playing was open to his time, and decades later, it must be changed.

He decided to withdraw from the swimming team and use the training time on the swimming team to practice jump shots.

Even if he gets half the result with twice the result, even if the effect is not good, he still has to practice.

From that day on, he had to shoot at least 800 half-shots and high jump shots every day.

In August, Weisha accepted Villanova's invitation to visit the university that had been admired for him for a long time.

Villanova University is located in the small town of Memai in the northwest of Philadelphia. It is surrounded by two towns with unique characteristics, Moblen and Wayne. Due to its unique historical reasons, there is no hustle or bustle of the city or desolation of the suburbs, and it is very convenient to eat, stay and travel.

When Wei Xia arrived, Villanova University asked three people to receive him.

One is a staff member from the basketball team, and the other two are enthusiastic students.

They took Weisha to visit the school and talked a lot about Villanova's history along the way.

The school is divided into three campuses. The main campus and the west campus are mainly the location of the teaching building, and the south campus is the dormitory area for freshmen. The three campuses are separated by only one street and one railway line and are not independent. Usually, transportation mainly depends on walking, skateboards, and bicycles. At the same time, the school also provides buses.

The staff of the basketball department have not spoken much, but the classmates who accompanied him kept talking. After all, Wei Xia valued the basketball department, not Villanova's other strengths, but he was still forced to listen to the "Nova's past" all the way.

"Felix, this is the gymnasium where the basketball team is located." Suddenly, the basketball team staff said to Wei Xia.

Wei Xia finally cheered up when she heard this. He had been distracted before, but every time the other party said something, he replied, "Really?", which made the other party think he was really interested, and they really chatted in this way for a while.

When they arrived at the gym, the two volunteers left. The next recruitment work was an internal matter of the basketball team, and they did not participate.

The Wildcats' summer training has begun, and Wei Xia watched them train from a distance.

Although Villanova is not valued by Philadelphia locals, their enrollment is very strong, and there is no shortage of newcomers at the top 100 high school students in the United States every year.

This summer, Jay Wright attracted Jason Fraser from New York with his superb personality. This person ranked fifth in the United States among high school students in 2002 and second in the center position, second only to Amare Stoudemire, who participated in the draft as a high school student not long ago, and was higher than "Little kg" Chris Bosh. Scouts believe he has a chance to become the next Brad Doherty.

"Felix, don't you want to meet you?"

Jay Wright had learned that Wei Xia didn't like the nickname "wish", so he called his name as soon as he came up, which made him feel a little joy.

"Coach, don't worry about me, you train as usual." Wei Xia said naturally, "If I want to come here, I have to know what kind of team I'm coming."

Wright ordered an assistant coach to come to Wei Xia to introduce the players on the field.

In addition to Jason Fraser, Weisha also discovered a good man named Randy Fraser.

When Wei Xia asked him, the assistant coach said proudly, "Randy is our core player, and his performance determines our success or failure this year to a certain extent."

Villanova is not a star-studded NCAA giant. He has produced many NBA players in history, but there are no stars.

Wei Xia found that their daily training was extremely solid, and Wright's requirement for the players was to complete each step perfectly.

If someone does not do well, start all over again.

"Doing this can enhance the players' sense of responsibility. They must understand that they represent a team. Coach Wright does not like players who pay too much attention to themselves." The assistant coach explained to Wei Xia in a deep voice.

This made Wei Xia, who made 14 of 39 shots in a single game not long ago, felt very guilty.

Is it true that in Coach Wright's eyes he is a player who does not pay attention to himself?

If Wei Xia had not visited DePaul University a while ago, he would have regarded the experience of visiting Villanova University as the standard of the university

What surprised him was that when it comes to training alone, DePaul and Villanova were like playing house.

DePaul looks like a more advanced high school basketball team, not focusing on tactics and discipline, and paying attention to free and unrestrained play. It looks like a player like Wei Xia who likes to run.

But if Wei Xia wants to play comfortably, she must run in a comfortable system. Otherwise, she will just run around and run around, and can't receive the ball for a long time. The impact on her mentality will be huge.

Wright has arrangements for each player's training plan.

He only worked in the Wildcats last year, and he was in his prime and seemed to have endless energy.

Wei Xia heard that he has been traveling all over the United States in recent months, vividly consciously speaking and reasoning those high schools that he sees. Fraser is his biggest achievement this summer.

Villanova was not Weisha's favorite university.

The trip ended and Villanova was on the bench.

Jay Wright wanted Wei Xia for a reason, and came to the scene to take a look at their training, Wei Xia found that his style was unexpectedly adapted to the Wildcats.

But the school he wanted to go to most was Kangda University, and this was still unshakable.
