Chapter 114 Set a Small Goal First
Under Chang Wei's care, Harmon quickly returned to the arena. This speed of recovery let alone a doctor, even her teammates and coaches were taken aback.After repeatedly confirming that Harmon had recovered 100%, Liggins, the head coach of the women's basketball team, was overjoyed and invited Chang Wei to have a meal out of his own pocket, thanking him for everything he had done for the women's basketball team.
Chang Wei was also a little dark-hearted, and accepted Liggins' invitation calmly.The two of them were half drunk before he pretended to inadvertently reveal his relationship with Harmon. After hearing this, Liggins immediately felt that the delicious food on the table was boring, so he could only hide and sigh into his wallet : This guy is really poisonous!
With Harmon returning to the team healthy, Chang Wei naturally put his focus back on the Rams.I have to say that Colorado State University has really been reborn this season, but during Chang Wei's more than a month of herding sheep, they still slipped quietly to the third place in the division, being dumped by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and the University of Tulsa. in the back.
This made McKay a little discouraged. The Western Athletic League team is divided into two divisions, one is the Mountain Division and the other is the Pacific Division, and Colorado State University undoubtedly belongs to the Mountain Division.The process of determining the championship champion of this league is very interesting. The top two in the Mountain Division and the Pacific Division will automatically enter the quarterfinals, and the other four quarterfinals will be decided by the third to No.6 teams in the two divisions out, and then follow the normal draw until the champion is determined.
If CSU can't surpass Tulsa to become the top two in the mountain division, they will have to play one more round to fight for the remaining eight spots.For McKay, playing one more game means one more point of risk. After all, all NCAA championships are determined by one game. It is not uncommon for strong teams to capsize in the gutter, not to mention that they are just one of the minor leagues. The third team in the division may be eliminated in a game anytime, anywhere.
However, Chang Wei didn't care about it. After learning about McKay's thoughts, he even took the initiative to explain to the relatively inexperienced rookie coach: "Although playing one more round of games will increase our risk of being eliminated, it will also make the players They get into shape quickly. It’s better to play against the lower teams than to find the form against the strong teams.”
McKay is still a little unconfident. This is the first time he has the opportunity to lead the team to the national championship (speaking as if you have been the head coach for many years), so there is always some concern about gains and losses.Chang Wei doesn't care about him so much, just give the players a bowl of chicken soup for the soul. As long as the players don't give in, the coach doesn't seem to be a big problem.
Chang Wei's psychological counseling is very good. Don't forget that he has a minor in sports psychology. It is not difficult for him to cook a pot of chicken soup for the players.After obtaining McKay's consent, Chang Wei deliberately kept everyone behind after the training session, and went to the small meeting room one by one to have a private chat with him.Although I didn't understand, but Chang Wei's pre-season devil training Yu Wei was still there, everyone obediently obeyed the instructions, and entered the meeting room directly in the order of jersey numbers.
Except for these players, no one knows what Chang Wei said to them in the conference room, and if you think about it with your knees, you know that you won't say too much. After all, it only takes two or three minutes for everyone to go in, and at most they can It looks like a few hundred words. After all, people are doing psychological counseling, not memorizing texts. If it is the latter, more than 3 words in two or three minutes is not a big deal.
McKay didn't know what Chang Wei was up to, but he found that from the second day onwards, the players were more energetic during training, and the level of desperation during the group confrontation was almost like using training as a regular game. Not afraid of getting hurt.When McKay asked them why they had such fighting spirit in private, everyone had inscrutable smiles on their faces, and they kept tight-lipped about him as the head coach, making McKay subconsciously think that Chang Wei had shown them something from the East. of witchcraft.
When McKay found Chang Wei full of doubts, the latter did not tell him what happened in the conference room that afternoon, but just smiled and said: "For the sake of the team's performance this season, let's decide first." A small goal!"
McKay asked subconsciously: "What small target?"
Chang Wei raised a finger, and his smile didn't lose half a point: "Of course I made it to the National Championship."
"Isn't this our ultimate goal?" As soon as McKay spoke, seeing the half-smile expression on Chang Wei's face, a flash of lightning seemed to flash through his mind.Getting to the national championship is just a small goal?How big is this guy's heart?Has he lost his mind and thought of Colorado State as the Villanova he once played for?
Chang Wei didn't care what he thought, but just said to himself: "I know this sounds arrogant, but I believe that everyone can go to a higher level. Mr. McKay, please think carefully, if How would you feel if the team only played in the first round of the national championship? How would the national fans view our team?"
"It's true that being able to reach the national championship is a great achievement for Colorado State University, but if we are just cannon fodder, how many fans will remember us? You must know that we have no stars. If we don't play beautiful games, there is absolutely no Fans are willing to pay attention to us, do you really want to see this happen?"
Chang Wei's impassioned words and open and close movements startled McKay, God is pitiful... He always thought that Chinese people are not good at expressing their feelings, but today Chang Wei let him see a different Chinese .McKay felt that Chang Wei was a lunatic now, but the lunatic's remarks made his blood boil.
As he said, Colorado State University is a weak team. They have no stars, and naturally they cannot attract the attention of fans. The only thing that can make them enter the mainstream media is their record.If they become a dark horse in the national championship, even if they fail to reach the final four, they will still be able to recruit more outstanding high school players with their own blockbuster, so as to make the strength of the next season even stronger. A huge temptation!
McKay's face was also red, it was because of the blood rushing up due to being too excited.He took a few deep breaths, and held Chang Wei's hand tightly: "Chang, I know that the team can become what it is today has a lot to do with you. You made them a stronger existence, so I support your idea, let's go to the National Championships and wreak havoc!"
