Chapter 91: The ventilation wall
"If even Connecticut can't beat Villanueva, which team can we expect from the Big East to accomplish this?"
The Wildcats ended with game 17 this season, with Connecticut losing to Villanova with an embarrassing 19-point gap.
In this game, Wei Xia scored 26 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists. The comprehensive and eye-catching data shows that he is the core of this game and the unshakable ace of the Wildcats.
Rudy Gay, who faced him, was miserable, scored single digits, had only 2 rebounds, and the pass assists that were praised by scouts many times turned out to be 0.
"Wish, do you want to talk about the victory tonight?"
No reporter is willing to interview Wei Xia because his interview is like a bullshit article generator, smelly, long and unnutrition.
Today, Wei Xia's interview was still the same: "I think he played well, why? He let me see the passion and concentration that freshmen should have. I rarely see freshmen like him..." After five minutes of pussy, he moved from Guy's spiritual level to the opponent's skills. "Although he is only 19 years old, he has more skills than many 29-year-old professional players. Have you seen his shooting? I only have one sentence to describe it - as beautiful as a picture (3 of 16 shots in this game). At the same time, his pass is also incredible (I scored 0 assists in this game)....”
After 15 minutes of tying like this, the reporter forgot what questions he would ask next. He only knew that the player Wei Xia was talking about must not be Guy, who was exposed to be so that his girlfriend ran away with others, but Michael Jordan, who made the third retirement decision two years ago.
"Okay, thanks to wish for our interview."
Wei Xia said with an unsatisfactory feeling: "Don't ask a few more questions? I have time."
Journalists working in media always want to ask more questions.
The reporter interviewing Wei Xia squeezed out a smile with great difficulty, nodding and retreating, as if the heroine in the early works of Death Yee was forced into a corner by a bad guy: "It will definitely happen next time!"
"Okay, then next time." Wei Xia smiled and nodded.
Afterwards, Wei Xia met her parents at the scene.
His brother was successfully admitted to a university in California, so the two elders had no children around him. When they learned that Wei Xia's parents were on the scene, Lala Dabi came to them.
Wei Mingliang had no intention, but Mei Chen liked Dabi very much and repeatedly challenged Wei Xia to show praise of "My son has a good vision".
A few days later, news came from the outside world that Wei Xia decided to participate in the draft in June.
Not surprising to the fans.
In the eyes of the media, it is natural.
But it's different for the Wildcats.
Villanova's basketball team has always had a tradition of playing for four years, from Paul Arizin, the only Hall of Fame player in the history of the team, to the 1996 Golden Generation Kerry Kittles, who played for four years in college before participating in the draft.
Times are changing, and it is a trend for talented players to leave after playing for one year. Even if Wei Xia really wants to run early, she should wait until the end of the season before releasing the news.
Now the news will have an impact on the morale of the army.
Only Wei Xia himself and Dabi knew about this.
Wei Xia believed that she had never told the third person about this, so the only one who could get the news was Darby.
Why did she do this? Too much? Too gossip? To say she can be said to be misleading.
Maybe in Darby's opinion, this matter was not a big secret. Or he said it too easily that day, making her feel that the matter was irrelevant. If he wanted to blame, he was also responsible. He should tell Darby not to disclose the news to the public. He thought it was his privacy and Darby would not spread it outside.
Wei Xia had many reasons to excuse Dabi, but she couldn't help but feel disappointed.
When he returned to the team, no one told him about this.
They are winning streaks, and this thing should not be a barrier for the team. From Wright to the players, they have never mentioned a single letter.
When she returned to the dormitory, Sheridan avoided talking.
Wei Xia took the initiative to propose: "Aren't you curious about my rumors?"
Sheridan explained the silence of the crowd from another perspective: "You never treat me differently just because I am a gay, nor do you ever ask about my affairs. Similarly, if you are the same, you may leave in June, but we will not interfere with your thoughts and ideas. You just need to play well as before."
Sheridan's words made Wei Xia relieve the pressure on her body.
If there are rumors that affect the team's morale because his girlfriend can't control her mouth, he really doesn't know how to face his teammates.
Now things are clear, even if everyone knows that he is leaving, they must work together to finish this season.
This year may be the most promising year for the Wildcats after 1985.
After a big victory over Connecticut, Villanova faced Powellens College three days later.
Wei Xia magically found a three-pointer feel, and various jump shots that exceeded the college level, scoring the highest 38 points and 10 rebounds in college, shocking the whole of the United States.
His simulation prediction ranking rose to fourth place.
Before him were Andre Bogut, Deron Williams and Chris Paul.
These three, one is considered White Duncan, the other is the natural nemesis of all traditional defenders, and the other is the most powerful student at the service who is short and has no flaws.
Two days later, Villanova played against St. Joseph University.
Wei Xia played for 38 minutes and scored her first 201055 steal and 5 blocks in her college career.
Basically no one said he was just a short forward, and no one thought his defender skills were not good.
He is already recognized as one of the five strongest NCAA people.
However, these two games were suspected of flipping data against weak teams, and then they encountered a strong team from Syracuse University, which was from the same division.
Facing the NBA prospect, the senior striker Hakeem Warrick, who has the prospect of NBA, Wei Xia encountered the first time he could not grab the opponent's rebound and jumped up and couldn't touch the opponent's ball.
Warrick may be one of the strongest power forwards in NCAA. He is a beast with great athletic ability. Syracuse University is the best team in the league that is good at playing joint defense, and is the most restrained star like Wei Xia who is not threatened by shooting.
This is the closest moment when Villanova's streak is ended.
Wei Xia scored the third-most 16 points through defensive counterattacks and empty-cut back-door cutting, helping the team establish the victory by two spears from the outside.
Randy Ferye and Allen Ray scored 41 points together, allowing the Villanova Wildcats to complete an unprecedented 20-game winning streak.
Chapter completed!
