Chapter 46 The winning streak ends

The victory against Georgetown University is like a lead that was pulled open. Wei Xia realized how he should play the fourth position. It is not a hand-to-hand combat, not a hard-header. It is undeniable that these two things are very important. What is more important is to use his strengths and correctly understand what Jay Wright needs him to do.

His prediction of rebounds is very good, and his athletic ability to spread the field is also a major advantage.

After Georgetown, the Wildcats are against the University of Pittsburgh Black Panthers, currently ranked first in the Big East.

Before this year, the Panthers were the overlord of the Big East.

In the past three years, they all won the Big East League Championship without exception.

The University of Connecticut works hard to manage and recruits extremely strongly. It has introduced Husky with royal blood for several consecutive years. Players with NBA prospects in the team need to use two hands to count them.

Connecticut is the best in the Great Eastern Conference, but Pittsburgh still has the team that dominated the Great Eastern Conference in the past few years and is currently ranked first in the division.

Against the Panthers, Wright did not let Wei Xia start.

Wei Xia came on the bench and habitually played 26 minutes in a row, scoring 14 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, almost becoming Villanova's only highlight that night.

It seemed inevitable that the Panthers would easily defeat the Wildcats and the Big Cats would beat the Kittens, but Wright made up his mind after that game to make Wei Xia the team's starting power forward.

He asked Wei Xia seriously: "Are you ready to play more than 35 minutes per game?"

Wei Xia’s answer is: “I can play for 40 minutes.”

At that time, there were seven games left in the Big East Championship.

As the official starter, Wei Xia's first opponent was West Virginia University.

There are some similarities between West Virginia and Pittsburgh.

No one in their team has the prospect of NBA, but NCAA's game is completely different.

Some new stars who are killing all over the world are not as good as some old players who can't beat NBA at all when they fight NCAA.

West Virginia is a team with many mature and combat power.

Four of them averaged double-pointers, and two of them averaged 8 and 9 points.

Due to the large number of firepower points, it is difficult to defend.

The two sides fought hard, and Wei Xia said that he could play for 40 minutes, and his words came true. He played against power forwards and defenders in the game.

In the 11th minute of the second half, Wright responded on the spot, allowing Weisha, who played power forward for most of the half-time, to play against West Virginia ace player Drew Schiffino (drew      schifino).

Shifino averaged 17 points per game. As a 190-centimeter offensive guard, he is a key figure in West Virginia's game.

Moreover, he is not a ball-type play.

He is good at catching and shooting.

Let Wei Xia defend him, just like a professional match-to-face meeting.

After playing for such a long time, Wei Xia suddenly faced the defender and felt a little calm.

Wei Xia's defense allowed Sifino to not touch the ball for three minutes.

Three and a half minutes later, Shifino touched the ball and was blocked by Wei Xia during the attack.

The damage to West Virginia of three and a half minutes of zero output is devastating.

When Wei Xia sealed Xifino, he was not idle on the offensive end. He completed two counterattacks and one throw after an empty cut.

After playing for half of the three quarters, he scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. For the remaining five minutes, he scored another 4 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist.

West Virginia's core player Shifino only scored 3 points in his full nine minutes under his focus.

"Wish's defense helped Villanova win the game!"

Wei Xia, who played the whole game, scored 19 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, was elected the best player. He finally began to be like those new stars with NBA prospects, not only had obvious on-the-spot roles, but also had a beautiful data.

Wei Xia completely settled in the starting position.

In the next game against Virginia Tech, due to the huge gap in strength between the two sides, Wei Xia played "only" for 31 minutes, and scored 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in getting off work in an understatement.

Virginia Tech star guard Zabi Daode expressed the voice of all those who have played against Weisha: "From the data, he is just an ordinary college player, but after playing with him, I found that he is much more powerful than his data."

"In addition to shooting stability, he looks like a top college player." Draft expert Chad Ford believes that Watsha has first-round prospects. "He can be selected in the first round of the draft year. He is a perfect team player, but if you want to gain a foothold in a high-level league, you still need to improve the shooting details."

The external rumors did not affect Villanova University.

Win Virginia Tech, they face Seton Hall University, which ranks sixth in the Big East.

The two sides may meet in the playoffs of the Greater East League Championship, and both sides regard this battle as a playoff outpost.

Wei Xia was already ready to play for 40 minutes again.

Who knew that Allen Ray, Randy Ferye and Curtis Sampter had been fed up with him and kept stealing the limelight. In this game, they scored 54 points, and their three-point shot made the Pirates dizzy.

The big score lead allowed Wei Xia to do just a few simple things to ensure the team wins.

In the end, he scored 8 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.

Villanova's winning streak was completely unable to stop.

Starting from the time Wei Xia was promoted to the regular season, they won a record of winning all the remaining seven division championships.

Wei Xia's data has increased a lot during this period.

It turned out that he only averaged 842 per game. Starting from the outbreak against Georgetown, he scored in double digits in 8 games in nine games, and his average data suddenly increased to 10.5 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists.

The regular season has come to an end.

The top six teams in the Big East League’s combat power list will qualify for the March Crazy Championship.

Before that, they will decide on the playoffs champions first.

As expected, Villanova's first round opponent in the playoffs was Seton Hall, whom she played not long ago.

The Wildcats have an advantage in their hearts against Seton Hall.

Villanueva won both games in the district championship this season.

The playoff system of the divisional championship is the same as that of the March National Championship. It is a game that determines the outcome, so the winning experience of the regular season can only be used as a reference.

If a victory or defeat is determined, anything can happen.

Before leaving, Wei Xia was so excited.

The playoff venues in the Big East League are not at home or away games.

They are heading to New York to play at one of the world's most famous gyms, Madison Gardens.
