Chapter 4 Kangda Is Very Weak

The NCAA's roster has no upper limit. The addition of Tang Tian has little impact on the team, but it has changed a lot for him.

He no longer needs to pick up the ball as before, but trains with the team and runs tactics.

He was originally a coach, and he learned these tactics very quickly, and he could even help new recruits familiarize themselves with tactics.

Kahoon looked very satisfied, and Oli gradually changed his opinion of him.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye November, the regular season of the NCAA 2010-2011 season officially started.

In the past two months or so, the University of Concord has undergone a lot of changes. The team's backup power forward, Lavoy Allen, applied for a transfer and transferred to Marquette University next door to assist Jimmy Butler. Now, the team also added two new players with scholarships, one is 1.96 meters tall small forward Roseke Smith, and the other is 2.11 meters high forward Tyler Orland, both of them are other teams Amoy the rest, the strength is limited.

In other words, the team's strength has not increased but decreased in the past two months, and the prospects for the new season have become more and more worrying.

On November 13, the team ushered in its first opponent, the University of Louisville.

The University of Louisville is a strong team in the Big East Division, and last year it entered the final four of the NCAA Tournament.

This is bound to be a tough game.

After the start of the game, Walker was strictly guarded, and Lamb became the team's main attack point. However, he seemed very uncomfortable in his NCAA debut. The first three shots were not hit, and the University of Louisville quickly opened the score, the first half. By the end of the game, they had an 11-point lead, 38-27.

In the second half, Kahun began to set up various singles tactics for Walker, and Walker also began to score frequently from inside and outside.

However, there was a problem with the defense of Kangda at the critical moment. Oriarch was frequently dislocated by the opponent's defenders. Walker's score couldn't keep up with the team's loss. By the fifteen minutes of the second half, they were nearly 20 points behind. many.

That's the end of the game.

In the end, although Walker made 9 of 22 shots and scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Concordia lost 61 to 81 at home.

The first game was a disastrous defeat, and head coach Kajon felt unprecedented pressure.

After five days of rest, Concordia continued to play at home against DePaul University, which is an underdog team in the Big East, and Concordia finally ushered in its first win of the season.

76 to 70, although we won, but the win is not honorable at all, especially for a weak team like DePaul University to score 70 points, the team's defense is really ugly.

After a five-day rest, the team went to the road to challenge Syracuse University (Syracuse University) and Georgetown University one after another.

In the battle against Georgetown, the opponent's core Greg Monroe scored 30 points and 21 rebounds.

Tang Tian went out with the team in all these games, but he sat at the bottom of the bench, and Kahun never sent him on the field.

The start of 1 win and 3 losses was the worst start for Kangda in recent years.

Kahun encountered such a situation in this retirement year. It seems that he will not be guaranteed a late holiday. He even has the idea of ​​​​retiring early.

The team's record was not good, and the mood of the players in the training session was not high, as if there was a dark cloud over the arena.

"Master, why don't you try Don?" At the end of the day's training session, Ollie found Kahon alone and suggested.

Kahon didn't speak.

Tang Tian has been training with the team for so long, and he has a similar understanding of the caddie's strength.

The defense is excellent, the IQ is also high, and tactics can be understood at a glance, but in addition to these characteristics, other aspects, including shooting, passing, etc., are all at the level of amateur players, and they are not even up to the standard. NCAA player requirements.

Putting him on the court is equivalent to 4-on-5 when attacking on the court.

That's why Kajon never played him.

"Let's take a look." Kahon could only watch while playing.

On November 25th, Concordia faced the challenge of strong rival Marquette University at home. This was also their last game in November.

Marquette University is not a strong NCAA powerhouse, but it has also produced NBA superstars like Wade. This season, the team is led by senior Jimmy Butler. In the first four games of this season, he averaged for the ball The team contributed 16.5 points, 6 rebounds and 2.7 assists.

In addition to Butler, the transferred Lavoy Allen has been reused by the coach and also has an excellent performance of 11.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game.

Driven by the dual-core, their current record is 3 wins and 1 loss, which is exactly the opposite of Kang Da's record.

This game is also very important to the University of Concord. It is not only related to the team's record. At the same time, the transferred Allen faces the old master. If he loses again, it will give people a feeling that the tree will fall and the wall will fall. The feeling of being pushed by the crowd.

Cajon felt a lot of pressure before the game.

The atmosphere of the NCAA stadium is the best in the world, even better than the NBA. This is just an ordinary regular season. The XL Center Arena, which can accommodate more than 16,000 people, is already full.

Fans held up various signs supporting the home team, and many people even directly tattooed the team logo of the Huskies team on their faces, chests, and even their belly to express their fanatical support for the home team.

This is the NCAA.

The players of the two teams were on the court for the final warm-up. Kahon stood on the sidelines with a serious face, and he didn’t know what was on his mind.

After the warm-up, the starters on both sides came on stage one after another.

On Marquette University, Butler and Allen both started the game. Although the University of Concord is not doing well, they dare not take it lightly.

Concordia is still a regular lineup, with Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lamb on the outside, Roseke Smith and Tyler Orland on the front line, and Oriarch on the center. .

"Deng deng dang deng deng!"

As soon as the game started, there were fans playing drums, and along with the drums, the fans also cheered loudly for the home team.

"Come on! Connecticut!"

Amid the cheers of the fans, Oriarch dialed the ball back to Kang's half-court, and the home team had the opportunity to take the lead in attacking.

Walker takes the ball to the frontcourt.

Like the opponents it has encountered before, Marquette University also knows that Walker is the life of the University of Concord, and it is a double attack.

Walker put the ball into Lamb's hands for the first time, and after Lamb caught it, he shot an open three-pointer.

"boom!"

Three-point strike.

But Auriarch grabbed offensive rebounds with his height advantage.

Oriarch attacked the frame from a close range, and Lavoy Allen stretched his hands and successfully interfered with his shot, and received the defensive rebound.

There was a commotion at the scene.

After the opening two good opportunities, Kangda was not able to grasp.

Marquette University attacked the frontcourt, and Butler broke through Smith after holding the ball.

Kangda contracted its defense, and Orland double-teamed to the basket.

Butler split the ball in the double-team, and Allen made a direct mid-range jumper after receiving the ball.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, the basketball was hollowed out.

Marquette University took the lead.

Tony Allen's individual defense level is indeed a little lower, and it has been changed to purple. It's enough to know it, and it doesn't affect reading.
