"Coach Pres, is Noah still shouting for tactics now?"

"Coach Pres, what do you think of Noah's ability?"

"Coach Pres, are you optimistic about Noah becoming the head coach in the future?"

"Coach Pres, do you mind Coach Noah's success?"

"Coach Pres, it's rumored that NFL teams have begun to contact Noah. What do you think about this?"

"Coach Pres, are you anxious to come back because you feel the threat from Noah?"

...

"Noah Noah" is all Noah. It is obviously Presently Present, but more than half of the questions are about Lu Yiqi. Someone who is not present has an undestroyable sense of existence. This makes Pres' tongue bitter and astringent, full of resentment but unable to vent, and he has to smile and deal with it properly-

According to his previous temper, he might have left.

But it won't work now.

It was not because of a heart disease that made him weak, but because the situation now does not allow it.

He knew how high Lu Yiqi's reputation among fans, how enthusiastic the locker room supported Lu Yiqi, and how rare the record of ten consecutive victories was. If he expressed his dissatisfaction rashly, the situation would probably take a sharp turn and his situation would become more difficult.

Moreover, anyone with discerning eyes can see that the team is still using Lu Yiqi's tactical system. He only relies on Lu Yiqi to win the game, but then he will destroy the bridge after he crosses the river. His coaching image is ruined. Not only about the Wildcats, but also his future career may have an impact.

For the sake of the overall situation, Pres must suppress his anger and irritability and deal with the reporter patiently; but deep down, Pres also understands that change is imperative.

Two weeks ago, Pres realized that he had to stand up and return to the team, otherwise he might be unemployed. Even though Wifald and Weather did not speak, he still appeared on campus, "breaking" rumors with practical actions, and successfully returned to his position.

Similarly, this moment is also a critical turning point.

Pres realizes that he must make changes, otherwise the situation will only get worse and worse, and his head coaching job will be in name only.

Is this the best time?

But now there is no so-called best time, because there are still the last two weeks left in the regular season, and Kansas State University is likely to enter the bowl game. As for whether it is the Big Four Bowls, it depends on the performance in the last two weeks. This is also the deadline for Pres to show his coaching ability.

If you miss it, you have to wait for next season. Who can predict what will happen then? He can't even be sure that he can still sit firmly in his coach position.

So, it is now, it must be now.

Although Kansas State's next opponent is... Missouri, the strongest opponent in the entire 2007 season, Pres has no way out and even if it is difficult, he has to bite the bullet.

The University of Missouri Tigers currently ranks sixth in the United States - second only to Kansas State University, which ranked fifth, with a record of nine wins and one loss, and just lost to the University of Oklahoma, which currently ranked second in the United States.

This star-studded team has shown absolutely strong offensive ability, ranking first in the Big 12, and is even more tough than the University of Oklahoma and Kansas State. If nothing unexpected happens, this year's Big 12 champion will be born between these three teams.

Among them, the University of Missouri and Kansas State are in the North District of the Big 12. In other words, they will compete for the top spot in the North District, and the team ranked first will compete with the University of Oklahoma in the South District to compete for the Big 12 championship. With only the last two weeks left in the regular season, this encounter between the two competitors is likely to be the life-and-death battle of the North District No. 1 this season.

No mistakes are allowed!

Of course Pres knows this, once they lose the game, their efforts throughout the season may be ruined-

But the problem is exactly here. This is Lu Yiqi's efforts throughout the season, not his. Even if he continues the existing tactical system and successfully defeats Missouri University and wins first place in the North, the credit is Lu Yiqi. The just-concluded press conference is cruel and ruthlessly reminding Pres.

Therefore, Pres refused to make wedding dresses for Lu Yiqi.

He knew that if the tactical system was modified in just one week, the players might not have enough time to adapt; he knew that losing to Missouri might miss the best opportunity for the team to revive; but at the same time, he also knew that if he missed this opportunity, the season would end, and then there would be no chance again.

Last week, he chose to win; this week, he chose himself.

Even if he lost the game, Pres has calculated that the University of Missouri is super strong and can be regarded as the strongest opponent of Kansas State this season. If he loses to such an opponent, it seems to be understandable, at least from a theoretical perspective, and it is not an important enemy.

At least, Pres still has room for quibbling.

What's more, who said that if you use his tactical system, you will definitely lose?

So, Pres' tactical rest began.

"Don't worry, everything is as usual, we're just trying something new."

Pres said this, but the players were confused. Lu Yiqi had modified his tactics before because they had no way to win; now they were continuing to win, so why should they modify their tactics?

His eyes couldn't help but gather towards Lu Yiqi.

Pres was a little nervous. If Lu Yiqi publicly objected, how would the players react? But his words have seized the initiative and left room for space. Once Lu Yiqi opposes, he can also scold him as the head coach and take the initiative. So, does he hope Lu Yiqi opposes or not?

Lu Yiqi...No.

Lu Yiqi did not openly oppose Pres, on the one hand, because Pres was originally the head coach, which was his right; on the other hand, because Pres's rhetoric was impeccable, even if the team was on the track of victory, it still needed to constantly adjust its tactics to adapt to different opponents.

Lu Yiqi gave the players a look.

The players were slightly disappointed - they were about to face a strong enemy in just a few days, and they still needed to learn to adapt to new tactics? This was definitely not a wonderful experience.

After detecting the players' sight, Pres's nervousness disappeared, his expression was a little constipated.

But no matter what, Pres has made some preparations last week and has officially returned fully this week, which is natural. He also took over the on-the-spot tactical control of the game from Lu Yiqi, declaring that he had completely returned to the head coach position, straightening his back and full of energy.

However, things are not that simple.

Just look at Lu Yiqi and you will know that at the beginning of the season, he temporarily took over the team. From the second week, he gradually promoted and practiced tactical changes. It took two to three weeks to achieve results before they first achieved results - and their second and third opponents were all weak teams, which gave the players enough time to adapt.

But now Pres only has three days of training, and the players still need to attend classes, homework and exams, and then they will face the strong enemy:

This is one of the reasons why NCAA often cannot focus on tactics.
