Chapter 19 : Let me Lead, victory is no problem!
"Kentucky is more difficult than we thought, and we want to win, not only on offense, but on defense as well!"
Halftime, coach Dave Odom said with a sad face in the locker room.
Today's strategy at Wake Forest University is to show the big move when it comes up.
Try to get some advantage in the first half.
The plan worked out very well at the beginning.
Although there is no advantage, at least the team is not behind.
I thought the first half would be spent in this relatively stable situation.
But never thought.
Because of his substitution decision, the stalemate situation has become a passive situation!
The current score between the two sides is 40:28, with Kentucky leading by 12 points!
Wake Forest wants to win this game, not only to attack well in the second half, but more importantly, to be able to defend the opponent!
The main theme of the first half is that neither side can defend against the other!
Without the final four minutes, a game like this would certainly be acceptable for Wake Forest.
But no way.
This is reality, not fiction, there is no repeat, and no regrets!
"Coach, I want to lead the team, whether it is offense or defense, give me the permission to command, I am confident to win the game!"
Dave Odom knows what to do in the second half, but whether the team can really execute it well, he has no idea at all.
no way.
Kentucky is stronger than Wake Forest in terms of hard power.
This kind of plan, which only exists in ideal circumstances, is too difficult to execute...
Just when he was at a loss, the team's only Japanese face stood up again.
This person is none other than Akira .
When Akira spoke his thoughts, the scene fell silent.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on him.
It's just what he said, but he was dubious...
"Akira, isn't this a joke, you are sure to hand over the command to you, so you can lead the team to win the game?"
Dave Odom looked at Akira hesitantly.
"Yes!"
"As long as everyone can follow my instructions 100% on the court, I will definitely lead everyone to win the game!"
Akira's expression was very firm, and his face was full of confidence.
Akashi Seijuro's ability is his strong leadership, self-confidence, and ability to discover the potential of his teammates.
No exaggeration to say.
now.
Akira Sendoh has his ability, and naturally he also has the temperament of a leader!
It's just that this team, he doesn't really mean it.
There is no way to show his leadership, and there is no way to make everyone better!
so.
He had no choice but to take the initiative to ask .
Just like before, he has to fight for opportunities first, and then use his performance to prove it!
Akira's self-confidence also gave Dave's head coach great confidence.
current situation.
If Akira didn't come forward, he really couldn't think of a way to break the game.
What he can do, apart from trusting Akira, has no choice!
Subsequently.
He turned his attention to the other players and finally settled on Tim Duncan.
Akira's request, he can call the shots, but he must ask everyone's opinions.
Everyone agrees, this is easy to do.
If everyone does not agree, even if he forcibly arranges this, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect.
"I have no opinion. Akira's performance is obvious to all. I support him in leading everyone!"
Duncan looks silly, but his brain is very flexible.
As soon as head coach Dave's eyes came over, he already understood the other party's intention, and then he expressed his attitude.
The team leaders have expressed their opinions, and naturally others will not have any opinions.
"No problem, I support Akira too!"
"His passing is very comfortable. I believe in his ability to read the game. I am willing to follow his instructions on the field!"
"As long as I can win the game, I'm willing to do anything!"
"Kentucky is a strong team, and if I had a chance to beat them, I wouldn't give up!"
Seeing that everyone had no opinion, Dave Odom also showed a long-lost smile on his face.
"Okay, since everyone has no opinion, Akira, I have agreed to your request. From now on, you will be the only leader on the field. If anyone does not obey the command, you can tell me directly, and I will change the person immediately and let me Follow the command!"
As the team coach, Dave's courage is still great.
Sometimes, the sword has to go sideways!
He didn't even know if he believed Akira was right or wrong!
But he never regretted his current decision!
After all, this is the only way out so far!
"As long as everyone is willing to listen to me, this game will definitely be won!"
After receiving the support of everyone, Akira said with confidence again.
The most important thing in the game is confidence!
Akira can't do anything about defeating the enemy without fighting!
No matter whether the opponent is strong or not, as long as you go all out and dare to fight, there is no chance at all!
......
"Kentucky currently has the initiative in the game. They have enough experience to maintain the initiative. If Wake Forest wants to complete the comeback in this game, they can only expect a miracle!"
When the athletes returned to the court to prepare for the second half of the game, the commentators on the scene also commented on the current situation.
"Originally, Wake Forest had hope, but I didn't expect that the substitutions in the last four minutes of the first half ruined the good situation. I guess Coach Dave will let Akira play the whole second half. I don't know if his physical strength can persist. Come down!"
Another commentator also echoed in a timely manner.
And his echo, but also with deep regret for Wake Forest.
I believe that any audience would prefer to watch evenly matched games.
But because of Wake Forest's substitution, such a game has lost its suspense!
Yes, the suspense is lost!
In the eyes of the narrator and even the vast majority of the audience, Wake Forest University has been sentenced to death!
There is no way.
Kentucky's performance is too stable, wanting them to lose the game with an advantage is tantamount to pulling teeth!
