Chapter 72: Adjustment of the Starting Lineup
Tang Tian was also thinking.
When he was a coach in the NBA in his previous life, he had a lot of ways to guard against a random player like Williams, but this is in the NCAA, just like in the NBA if you have to guard James, that is a very difficult thing .
Especially now he is not a coach, but a player.
Williams can beat Barnes, the No. 1 pick in the power forward's strength list. He has absolute strength, and he will also be the most difficult opponent he has encountered since crossing.
The game has reached the last few minutes, and the University of Arizona has a 20-point lead and has begun to exercise on the bench.
"Richard, I'm serious, you let your agent think of a way to play in Dallas." The game was no longer in suspense, and Terry chatted with Jefferson at this time.
The NBA is a business league, but under this league, there are actually many other things. For example, they came from the University of Arizona. Although they are not in the same class, their alumni relationship still makes their relationship closer than that of their teammates.
"No no, I can win the championship this year in San Antonio, I won't go to Dallas." Jefferson said with a smile.
"Don't blame me for killing you in the playoffs," Terry said with a big laugh.
"Don't blame me then." Jefferson also laughed.
"By the way, are you coming the day after tomorrow?" Terry asked after laughing.
"Of course, if I don't practice at night, the game the day after tomorrow is very important. After the game, it's time for North Carolina." Jefferson nodded.
"Yes, I will come too." Terry nodded with a smile.
While the two were talking, there was a long whistle from the sidelines, and the game had come to an end.
In the end, the University of Arizona defeated the University of Tennessee 81-61 and successfully advanced to the top 32 in the country.
Derek Williams scored a large double-double with 30 points and 10 rebounds. Solomon Hill also scored 15 points and 5 rebounds.
However, although Tennessee suffered a fiasco, Harris' performance was remarkable. He scored 25 points and 7 rebounds against Williams most of the time.
"Tang, it's not easy to play next game." Walker couldn't help but said after watching it.
"This is a good thing." Contrary to Walker's expectations, Tang Tian's mood seemed relatively relaxed.
Walker was really puzzled this time. The opponent was already determined and his strength was good. He didn't know if Tang Tian's relaxed expression was deliberately shown to him, or if it was really that relaxed.
"We still have to play North Carolina. Wouldn't it be good to warm up with Arizona in advance? If we play Tennessee, if the intensity increases, our chances of winning are even smaller." Tang Tian said with a smile.
Walker nodded earnestly.
Tang Tian is right, step by step, they can exert their greatest strength, and if there is a sudden jump, it is indeed even more difficult to fight.
Of course, if you really can't beat the University of Arizona, then there's no need to mention playing North Carolina.
After watching the game, Kahon talked about the training plan for tomorrow, and then let the players go back to rest early.
Tang Tiangang and Walker returned to the hotel room when the phone rang.
When I took it out, it was Olsen who called.
After all, the two haven't been in touch for a long time since they watched the movie last time.
When we separated last time, he said that there was news of "Double-Faced Martha" to tell him, could it be this time?
Although the time was a bit inappropriate, he went to the bathroom to answer the phone.
"Congratulations, I saw your team win." The phone was connected, but I didn't expect Olsen to say it was not about the movie, but congratulated him first.
Olsen will not always pay attention to the NCAA, and congratulations one day later already shows that he is paying attention to Tang Tian.
"Thank you, you haven't slept so late?"
"Ready, by the way, did you forget something?" Olsen's laughter came from the other end of the phone.
"Forget... You mean about the game tickets?" Tang Tian remembered, after the two separated, all his energy was on making money and the game, and he really forgot about it.
"It seems that the game is impossible to watch." Olsen said a little disappointed.
"Yes, I can see it, but I can't walk away in the team's training. Come to me on the day of the game and ask for it." Tang Tian assured that this promises other people's things, he will definitely do it, this is the principle question.
"Okay, then I will definitely come." Olsen promised with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Tian came out of the bathroom.
"Is that the sexy girl last time?" Walker looked at Tang Tian and asked with a smile.
"Well, by the way, Kemba, didn't you say you have a lot of tickets for the game? Are they all finished?" Tang Tian nodded and asked.
"Do you want? How many?" Walker has many relatives and friends, and he has prepared a lot, but if there are too many, he can't give it.
"One, it's better to be in the front."
"No problem, I'll get it for you tomorrow," Walker said.
"Is it for sexy girls?" Walker couldn't help but ask again.
Seeing Tang Tian nodded, he immediately had an envious expression.
Tang Tian smiled and didn't care. He and Olsen were actually just ordinary friends.
"Don will play the starting No. 3 next game, and Tyler will play the starting No. 4." Before the start of the next day's training session, Cahon announced a decision.
He made adjustments to the starting lineup, put Tang Tianding to the 3rd position, and replaced Smith with Orland to play the starting 4th position.
This adjustment should have been decided after he considered it last night.
Derrick Williams' shooting is much less threatening than a breakthrough. Using two big men can limit him to the greatest extent. If Tang Tianding is at the 3rd position, it can also completely limit Solomon Hill.
Orland was the team's starter before, and after a day of training, the team basically got used to it.
A little change that can be felt is that Kahun trusts Majuk a lot more than before, and it seems likely that he will continue to use him in the next game.
The match between the University of Arizona and the University of Connecticut is about to start, and the media is also starting to get hotter for this match.
The University of Arizona is a super giant. They have been in the championship for 25 consecutive years, but the last one missed the championship because of a bribery scandal. After Sean Miller took over as coach this season, the team is not bad, and they naturally hope to have a good time. Results to sweep away the haze of last season.
Not to mention Kangda, as two-time NCAA champions, they need results to regain their glory.
The encounter between the two old tyrants was shaped by the media into a match like Mars hitting the earth.
With these reports, the outside world's attention to this game has also increased, and the heat has even surpassed the Duke and North Carolina game.
As Tang Tian said, Walker wanted more attention than he thought.
