king of defenders

Chapter 28 Intrigue
In the next two days, the Wildcats were awed by Mason Carr's "carrot in one hand and a big stick in the other". Everyone was training hard and did not dare to be lazy.

On the contrary, Mason Carr, as the head coach of the team, after I announced the "reward and punishment system" on the first day of my arrival, I basically did not take any action, did not formulate any tactics for everyone, and did not determine the lineup. I just sat on the sidelines every day Shang and Dante Climans and others were muttering something, which made it hard for people to understand.

At this time, the warm-up match came.

Before the regular season, the Wildcats had to play two warm-up games. The first one was against the DePaul University Blue Devils. Because Meng Yun made a breakthrough and knocked out Solomon Burt, the Wildcats won.

And this one is the last warm-up match for the Wildcats against the Louisiana State University Tigers (LSU Tigers for short).

This is a team that belongs to the Southeast Conference (Southeastern Conference). They achieved No. 3 in the Southeastern Conference division in the ncaa league last season.

The Southeastern Conference has Kentucky, Florida and other strong teams. The LSU Tigers can achieve No.3 results in the Southeast Conference. It can be seen that their strength is definitely above DePaul University.

"How could it be the LSU Tigers?"

"Aren't the warm-up matches looking for teams of similar strength? What the hell is the coach doing? Looking for such a strong team, isn't this sending them up for abuse?"

"not understand."

"This is terrible."

When they learned of their opponents this time, the generals of the Wildcats were not calm.

Generally, the opponents in the warm-up match are looking for similar strengths. If they are too strong, they are looking for abuse. If they are too weak, they will not be able to challenge them, and they will not have the effect of training.

The Wildcats finished sixth in the Atlantic Ten in the regular season last season, while the LSU Tigers were third in the Southeast.Although they are not in the same division, one is sixth and the other is third.

"Meng Yun, what do you think?" Evan asked.

Meng Yun thought for a while and sighed: "I don't understand either, but I think the coach must have his reasons for making such an arrangement, but we don't know it yet."

Evan said: "Yes, I think so too. The warm-up match usually looks for a team of comparable strength. It is impossible for him not to know the coach. What's more, there is Climans coaching them. So Karl said so. There must be his reasons for the arrangement, and it's not just for us to find abuse."

Meng Yun nodded. Although he didn't know what Coach Carl meant, he firmly believed that this game would definitely not be meaningless and must have a deep meaning.

Although he had only been in contact for two or three days, and Mason Carr only showed a little skill on the first day, and was almost invisible in the next two days, Meng Yun still had a feeling that this coach was unusual.

This is just a feeling, but at least Meng Yun doesn't feel this feeling at all in David Tester.

Seeing everyone flustered, Mason Carr still acted like an old god. He didn't comfort everyone or explain, but just waved his hands: "Get ready, the game is coming this afternoon."

Everyone looks at me and I look at you, all helpless.

In the afternoon, Davidson College Basketball Hall.

The opponent in this game is very strong, ranking third in the Southeastern Conference. Not only the players of the Wildcats don't understand why the coach would choose such a team as a warm-up opponent, but even the students of Davidson College and those who like the Wildcats Fans are all wondering, this seems completely unreasonable.

Perhaps everyone felt that the Wildcats could not win. There were not many people in the audience, and there was not much enthusiasm. Some people even complained loudly: "This game is meaningless and will only dampen the morale of the Wildcats."

Another asked: "What the hell is this new coach doing?"

Afterwards, people chattered and discussed.

"I heard that the new coach Mason Carr came to the team for two days and did nothing but announce a reward and punishment system."

"What? What's the use of having him? What we want is a victory, a championship, at least the championship of the Atlantic Ten League. He is so nonsense, he is not as good as David Tester."

"Don't say that, David Tester took bribes, it is absolutely unforgivable. But I think, even if David Tester is fired, at least find someone who knows enough about the Wildcats to coach This team. For example, assistant coach Phil Frederick, who has worked for the Wildcats for three years, is as familiar with the Wildcats as his fingers. If he is the head coach, he will definitely lead the Wildcats to glory."

"Really? Hehe, I think that assistant coach Spike Garcia is more suitable to be the head coach. He has rich coaching experience and a player background, which is beyond compare to Phil Frederick."

People are dissatisfied with Mason-Carr's decision.

Some people simply think that it is inappropriate to find such a strong team for the warm-up match, because they will definitely not win, and it will only frustrate the players, which is not conducive to the upcoming regular season.

There are also some people who are obviously inclined, criticize Mason Carr, and then move out of Phil Frederick or Spike Garcia by the way, which is quite "forced".

No one knows whether there are Mayfair Frederick and Spike Garcia playing a role here, but the so-called groundless rumors may not be without reason.

Intrigues, in fact, can be found anywhere.

As the discussion became more intense, it even filled the entire arena, and even Danny Klemans couldn't stand it.

He looked at Mayfair Frederick and Spike Garcia, and saw that the two old gods were there, not in a hurry, as if they were waiting to see a good show.

"Hmph." Danny Clemens snorted, feeling very contemptuous towards these two people. He can guarantee that the debate in the audience must be led by these two people. The purpose is obvious, just to force Mason Carr away. .

Danny Klemans also wants to be the head coach, but he doesn't think he will be so unscrupulous, and he has learned a lot from following Mason Carr these two days, and he knows very well that Mason Carr's coaching ability is greater than that of Wayne Tester is better than Phil Frederick and Spike Garcia.

It is well deserved that the Wildcats have him as the head coach.

"Coach Carl." Danny Klemans walked up to Mason Carr and said worriedly, "Is it really okay for you to choose Louisiana State University as our opponent in the warm-up match? You should have heard that too. , many people are discussing that they are dissatisfied with your decision, I am worried"

"Thank you." Mason Carr interrupted, smiled, and said, "Danny, you are a good person, at least better than Phil Frederick and Spike Garcia. Thank you for your concern, but don't worry, I have my own plans. Believe me, I'm not hotheaded or masochistic about bringing in a rival like LSU."

Is this a bad joke?

Danny Klemans smiled wryly and said, "Well, I believe you."
