Chapter 27 Entering the Starting Lineup! (3/3!)
Chapter 27 Entering the starting lineup! (33!)
The adjustment of Providence College was cracked by Tang Tian's high-pressure defense, and the game in the second half almost became his personal show.
Brooks tried hard to get rid of it, but Tang Tian couldn't get rid of it like a gummy candy.
For the first time since he played in the NCAA, he was particularly embarrassed on the court.
This is the effect of Tang Tian's current defense with all his strength. With 70 to 80 percent of his individual defense skills, it is impossible for NCAA players to deal with it calmly.
What's more, Brooks is still the kind of player whose passing is broken.
The broken after a strong thrust, the ironing after a strong throw, and the quilt after forcibly turning around.
Brooks, who had asked for anything on the field before, was horribly suppressed by Tang Tian.
Actually, Tang Tian didn't need to do this step, but Brooks's provocative words at the beginning made him unbearable.
He sometimes takes revenge!
Brooks was completely blocked by Tang Tian, and the offense of Providence College could not be opened at all.
In the end, Concordia swept Providence College 81-61 at home, won a hearty victory, and ushered in an eight-game winning streak!
On Kangda’s side, Lamb had 20 points and 4 rebounds, Walker had 17 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, Auriarch had 11 points and 12 rebounds, Napier had 10 points and 3 assists, and Orland and Smith each scored 8 points.
Against Providence College's not-so-great defense, they're playing a lot more.
Tang Tian's focus was all on defending Brooks. He made 3 outside shots and scored 3 points, 3 rebounds, 5 steals and 3 blocks!
And his opponent Brooks, the absolute core of Providence College, made 7 of 26 shots, 15 points and 3 rebounds, and 6 turnovers!
After watching the second half, the fans had only one feeling in their hearts. It turned out that Tang Tian's defense with all his strength was so terrifying!
At the press conference after the game, Kahun took Lamb and Tang Tian to the press conference.
"He is the key for us to win the game." Kahon didn't hesitate to praise him. Tang Tian's defensive performance in this game was not even expected by him.
"How do you evaluate Brooks' performance? We know that he said before the game that you couldn't guard him, but in the end you did it." After asking Kahun, the reporter continued to turn to Tang Tian.
"Ma Shang is a very good scorer. He can shoot and make breakthroughs, and his style of play is very similar to Kobe." To the surprise of the reporters at the scene, Tang Tian praised Brooks for a while.
"But Kobe also has a time to strike, I believe he will be able to adjust his form soon, and I also look forward to playing against them in the championship game."
The reporters below were waiting for a turning point, but after listening to all, they found that Tang Tian was really complimenting Brooks. This was a very generous performance!
But at this time, Kahun, who was beside him, couldn't help but laugh.
There is something in Tang Tian's words. Kobe also has a time to strike. This is to make fun of Brooks' poor shooting choice in the game!
These reporters didn't react at first, and when the report went out and was discovered by fans, it was estimated that it was another wave of grooves.
There is no one else in Tang Tian's art of speaking.
Winning Providence College, UConn's record came to 10 wins and 4 losses, and the ranking in the Big East also rose to fourth place.
The top eight in the league advance to the championship game, and the top four are in the upper half, with home-court advantage, and the further ahead, the weaker the opposing team.
They came to the top half, and their hopes of qualifying for the championship naturally increased by one point.
The team's next game is a home game against Georgetown University. In the last game, Greg Monroe smashed the inside line, scoring 30 points and 21 rebounds, and ravaged the inside line of Concordia.
Tang Tian has a strong defense but is a player who swings in the third and fourth positions. This game is a big test for Kangda.
However, during the training session the next day, Cahon announced an important news.
Tang Tian will enter the starting lineup in the next game!
This, in fact, was completely unexpected by the other players.
In the last game, if Tang Tian started, Brooks' performance might have been even worse.
Moreover, his defense, the pick-and-roll between him and Walker, after so many games, has become an indispensable part of the University of Konan's tactics!
But what is surprising is that Tang Tian did not replace Smith, but Orland, who was the team's starting No. 4.
Orland is 2.11 meters tall, which is 10 centimeters more than Tang Tian. This adjustment is equivalent to lowering the height of Kangda's inside line.
But Kahun clearly has his own considerations.
In the last game against Providence College, Brooks had no sense of being beaten by Tang Tianfang, but Providence College still scored more than 60 points.
The current starting lineup of Kangda is high enough, but the mobility is relatively poor. In the face of fast opponents, retreating from defense is a big problem.
Although he is a bit old-fashioned, he can still understand the trend of basketball. Now that the game is played faster and faster, mobility will become more important.
Before, Orland was used because he had no choice. Now that he has Tang Tian, he naturally needs to change.
Tang Tian's height of 2 meters is also enough to play the 4th position in the NCAA, and he has strong confrontation and fast speed, which is just complementary to Oriaqi.
"Don, congratulations!"
"Tang, you must treat a guest to dinner!"
...
Tang Tian was very popular in University of Kang, and all the team members came up to congratulate him at this moment.
"You must treat guests, not one of them." Tang Tian was not stingy.
In his previous life, the money was just a bunch of numbers, so he didn't care much about money. Before he didn't have a scholarship, it was a shame, but now that he has a scholarship, it's definitely not a problem to ask for a meal.
It's better to have dinner tomorrow night. After Tang Tian finished training, he went back to the dormitory to rest.
But not long after he lay down, he received a call.
It was Olson who called.
"Do you have time in the evening? I want to invite you to watch a movie together."
The last time the two had eaten together, Olsen's final expression was still a little nostalgic. He didn't expect to take the initiative to invite himself to a movie at this moment.
This seems to be developing a little faster.
But this is also Tang Tian's current charm, not only a handsome character can explain it.
Olsen's family conditions are good, and there must be more people around than Tang Tianshuai. It can only be said that the charm of a mature man like Tang Tian attracted her.
"I'm going to practice at night." Tang Tian answered more directly.
He didn't disagree with Olsen, but after so many previous lives, he knew what was more important.
"Then I'll buy a later ticket. What time do you want to finish?" To Tang Tian's surprise, Olsen behaved very humanly.
"It's 9 o'clock." Tang Tian gave him a time, and Olsen said it for the sake of it. It would be inappropriate for him to refuse.
"Okay, I'll pick you up then," Olsen said directly.
