Chapter 64 Pre-Match

28, which is similar to Lavoy Allen's ranking. This is actually a face for FOX. After all, there are 68 teams in the championship, which means that they think Tang Tian is the top 30 best power forwards in these teams.

"Jeremy is worse than us." Walker also laughed.

Lamb's performance has improved steadily this season, but it seems that FOX Sports doesn't buy it, ranking him close to 40 at shooting guard.

The two laughed.

But after laughing for a while, they all stopped in unison.

This ranking shows that although Kangda is not favored by them!

The two didn't speak, and they both felt something in each other's eyes: motivation.

Many people see this ranking and see that they are ranked lower, and most of them will complain and complain, but they are different. Concordia was not favored at the beginning of the season, and it is completely normal to continue to be favored now.

This kind of disapproval is the driving force for them. When you use your actions to finally prove that others are wrong, that feeling is the most refreshing.

They experienced the first time in the league championship game, and knowing that feeling, they naturally wanted a second time.

"Extra practice!" Walker said and jumped up.

Tang Tian also stood up.

Providence College's rival is Santa Barbara University.

After the game started, Marshan Brooks quickly became the absolute focus on the court. No one in Santa Barbara University could stop this "little Kobe". He looked more than Kobe on the court. Jordan.

Brooks opened up, and the shelling offense from Providence College was surging like a tidal wave.

In the end, Brooks scored 41 points, helping Providence College to wash its opponents 91 to 63 and successfully advance to the final 64.

"Fuck!" After watching the game, Walker couldn't help but swear.

"I just found out that this guy can score so explosively, no, I just found out that your defense is so good."

"Are you complimenting Brooks or me?" Tang Tian said with a smile.

"All praise, but praise you a little more." Walker said seriously.

After the game, Brooks raised his hands and applauded to the audience.

The crowd cheered Providence College the entire game, and it was almost a home game for them.

The final victory of Providence College is also good news for Cornell University, which shows that although only 5 teams in the Big East have advanced this year, which is less than in the past few years, the strength of the advanced teams is still among the best. .

In two days, the top 64 were finally determined, and the first round of March Madness was about to start.

In order to ensure the progress of the competition, there will be eight competition cities in each division. These cities have been decided as early as a year ago, and in order to ensure fairness, some neutral cities without colleges and universities are selected.

Games like the University of Connecticut and San Diego State University are arranged at the Riverside Stadium in Newark, New Jersey.

This was originally the home of the Newark Bears of the American Baseball League, and it can accommodate up to 40,000 people watching the game at the same time.

Before the game started, the tickets for the game were already sold out by the fans of both sides.

When it comes to the championship stage, a game that will determine the outcome, fans of both sides will never miss it.

The day before the game, players from both teams came to the port city one after another.

UConn is the No. 4 seed, and San Diego State University is No. 13. In theory, UConn is the absolute dominant party, but there is no absolute word in the single scouting competition. In a game that determines the outcome, if you play well, you will be stronger. The strength is also useless.

It is for this reason that the members of the University of Kangxi, mainly first-year students, feel a little nervous in their hearts.

In order to reduce the pressure on the players, Kahun's approach is to train as usual, without deliberately adjusting the team's rules.

It was also during the training session that day that Kahun made a decision. He appointed Tang Tian as the team's captain and set off for this tournament.

Under normal circumstances, the captain is the strongest player in the team, but it is not absolute. Some teams will also choose a spiritual leader to play this role. Tang Tian plays this role.

Including Walker, there is no opinion on Cahun's decision.

Tang Tian's performance on and off the field in the past has won the trust of the coaching staff and teammates. If he is the captain, he can also help Walker share the pressure of the game.

After the training, the players all returned to the hotel one after another.

Tang Tian lay on the bed with no sleepiness after taking a bath.

In all, it has been more than half a year since he traveled, and this half year has changed a lot for him.

He has the clear goal of winning the championship. He grew up with Walker and Lamb, and experienced ups and downs with them. Until now, there have been big wins, heavy losses, and reversals. After so many games, he has a deep heart for basketball. The love is rekindled little by little.

Because he was a coach in his previous life, he always stood at a high point and could not understand the feeling of being a player. Now that he has experienced it once, he can feel that in addition to love, there is also a lot of things called passion in his heart.

Tomorrow is the championship, and with the fact that Kahun had just named him captain, he was tossing and turning.

"Tang, are you asleep?" Walker, who was lying on the bed next to Tang Tian, ​​suddenly said.

"Not yet, why haven't you slept, didn't you just snore?" Tang Tian asked.

"I wanted to sleep myself, and I didn't want you to find out that I couldn't sleep," Walker said.

"It's a coincidence, I didn't want you to find out, so I didn't move." Tang Tian continued.

After speaking, the two of them couldn't help laughing.

"Are you confident that you can defend against Leonard?" Walker asked after laughing.

"Then are you confident that you can break through Leonard's defense?" Tang Tian also asked.

"Honestly, no, but I believe you and Jeremy, we're not like them, we score more points," Walker replied.

Tang Tian couldn't help but smile after hearing this. Although Walker really wanted to win, he didn't lose his way because he wanted to win. He still knew exactly what the advantages of Kangda were.

"I will defend Leonard, and Franklin, and leave the offense to you and Jeremy." Tang Tian followed.

"Well, so we have no reason to lose."

"Yes."

"Then go to sleep."

"Um."

...

"Don, are you asleep?"

"not yet."

"Go to sleep."

"Um."

...

"Don, are you asleep?"

"Not yet, if you really can't sleep, go find Jeremy, the guy must not have slept either."

"No, let's go to sleep."

...

The two just talked from time to time, and they didn't know when they really fell asleep.

At dawn the next day, they all woke up early.

The sleep time is not long, but I am still full of energy. At this time, the amount of sleep is not so important.

They took the bus to the training hall and did some simple warm-up training in the morning.

On the bus, they also received news that in last night's game, North Carolina easily won the opponent by 20 points and advanced to the top 32, and the state was hot.

"We have to work hard." Walker turned to Tang Tian when he heard the news.

"Yes, it's our turn." Tang Tian nodded.
