"Shh!"
With a crisp sound, the ball went straight into the net.
First it was a breakthrough, then a throw, then the mid-range, and now it's a three-pointer. Lamb has opened up all of them!
"Beautiful!" Ollie couldn't help but get up from the bench and shouted with a punch.
He really likes this kind of lamb!
Walker also smiled at this time.
As everyone knows, Lamb has great talent and a ten-game winning streak, but it always felt like something was missing.
I didn't feel it before, but now I realize that it is the carry ability, that is, the core responsibility.
Now that Lamb has this kind of responsibility, it can be regarded as fully played out.
When he comes back, UConn will have two offensive strengths, plus Tang Tian, a top 3D player, they may really challenge Kentucky, Duke, and North Carolina.
It seems that his injury is not entirely a bad thing.
Of course, he also knew that all of this was due to Tang Tian, and it might only take a moment for things to turn good or bad. Tang Tian's previous violent attempt was to abruptly turn the bad things for the better.
Such a teammate really can't be found with a lantern.
The game continued on the field, and Allen's mid-range jumper finally stopped the bleeding for Marquette University.
But looking back, Tang Tian got another chance from the outside line. He also showed the accuracy he had in the previous game against Georgetown, raising his hand and scoring a three-pointer.
Butler was extremely uncomfortable at this time.
He went to defend Tang Tian and Lamb scored, he went to defend Lamb and Tang Tian scored.
In Kangda's game, Lamb and Tang Tian felt like they were shooting outside with double guns, and it wasn't suitable for him to defend against anyone!
In the end, although Butler tried his best on the defensive end and kept trying to encourage his teammates, Lamb was in such a good state in this game, coupled with Tang Tian's containment on the outside, Marquette University was never able to turn over.
70 to 60, UConn beat Marquette University in an away game, ending a three-game losing streak.
The ten-game winning streak started at Marquette University, and the three-game losing streak ended here at Marquette University. The University of Connecticut has really become the sufferer of Marquette University.
At Marquette University, Butler scored 20 points and 6 rebounds, and only made 22 of 6 shots. It was difficult for him to perform under Tang Tian's defense, let alone put so much energy on the defensive end in this game. up.
康大这边,奥瑞阿奇有10分15篮板2盖帽的出色表现,内皮尔也有8分4板8助攻的不错发挥,不过康大今晚能拿下比赛还是靠唐天和兰姆的双枪。
唐天外线7投5中得到了15分5板3抢断2盖帽的全能数据,而兰姆全场20投11中,三分球6投2中,轰下全场最高的26分5板。
After the game, the UConn players couldn't help shouting as they walked to the locker room.
The feeling of losing streak is not good, but the feeling of ending the losing streak is quite good!
Chapter 44 This Kid Is Quite Honest
"Jeremy! Jeremy!"
Entering the locker room, the teammates couldn't help shouting at Lamb.
The team ended the losing streak, and Lamb was the number one hero, and he deserved the cheers.
Lamb was a little shy, but still got along with his teammates.
"Tang, you have become a hero behind the scenes." Walker said while pulling Tang Tian.
"It feels good." Tang Tian said with a smile.
Walker glanced at Tang Tian and laughed too.
Tang Tian is not greedy for merit at all, and his personality is really charming.
At the press conference after the game, Calhoun brought Tang Tian and Lamb to attend, his face was full of smiles.
Obviously, he was very satisfied with this victory tonight.
"It couldn't have been a better night. We won the game. Jeremy found his form. Don was still shooting from the outside. In fact, if you ask me how I feel now, I can't wait to see Kemba come back. The performance of the team." Facing the reporter's daily questions, Calhoun's answer made people feel refreshed.
"Jeremy, you played the best form in recent games, what happened?" The reporter then turned to Lamb.
"Well... I know that my previous performance was not good, and I blamed myself for the team's loss. In fact, I knew very well that Kemba was injured and I had to stand up, but I always felt worse in the game. I didn't know it before. What, now I know, I lacked a little courage, it was Don, he inspired me hard, he gave me the courage to carry this team on my shoulders."
Lamb speaks very slowly, with pauses, but you can feel the sincerity of his words from this slowness, which is from his heart.
After Lamb finished speaking, the spotlight flashed in the audience, not only for Lamb, but also for Tang Tian.
Tang Tian was stunned after hearing this. He originally only wanted to be a behind-the-scenes hero as Walker said, but he didn't expect Lamb to say it directly in front of the reporter.
But this also made him have a lot of affection for Lamb.
This kid is very honest.
"Tang, what happened?" The reporter turned to Tang Tian at this moment.
"It's really nothing. We just sat down and chatted. Jeremy's talent is very good. I asked him to try it boldly, and he did it boldly." Tang Tian said calmly.
After he finished speaking, Lamb froze for a moment, and Calhoun couldn't help laughing.
This is the best way to deal with it. The kind of heads-up full of trash talk is obviously not suitable for exposure to the media.
"Really?" The reporter obviously didn't believe it, and then looked at Lamb.
"Yes, really." Lamb was a little slow to react, but he came to his senses.
"I'm sorry, Tang." After the press conference, Lamb took the initiative to apologize to Tang Tian.
The performance continued to be sluggish before, and this one suddenly broke out. As long as they are not stupid, even the parties involved will know the reason for the change.
Tang Tian's method was rough, but it did work, which is why he said that at the press conference.
"Small matter, just don't blame me for keeping you in such a mess that day." Tang Tian said with a smile.
Lamb heard Tang Tian joking and knew he didn't care, so he nodded with a smile.
The two settled their suspicions, and Lamb found his form again. For Kangda, this was an extremely beautiful night.
With five full days of rest before the next game, Calhoun gave the players a day off. Taking advantage of the holiday, Tang Tian also took a car to New Haven.
The difference from last time was that this time he didn't come to play a basketball game, but went directly to the local street court.
The streetball culture in the United States is very strong, among which Rock Park is famous all over the world, and the popularity of streetball stars in some areas is even higher than that of NBA superstars, such as the most famous GOAT and Ralph Alston who played for the Rockets and so on.
Of course Tang Tian didn't come to play streetball today, he came for the one-on-one match that he had searched before.
Turning around the street court, he soon found something.
Somebody over there is playing high-end games, the one-hundred-dollar games.
Tang Tian went to stand aside and watch.
"boom!"
A black player nearly two meters tall passed his opponent and dunked directly with the Tomahawk.
He pouted and shook his head after the dunk.
"Killer! Killer!"
The audience on the sidelines also booed and shouted.
"Killer" is apparently the streetball player's nickname.
"Who is he?" Tang Tian turned his head and asked the black audience at the side.
The black audience didn't notice that someone suddenly came to the side, and when they heard Tang Tian's question, they glanced at him and said, "Your first time here?"
"Yes." Tang Tian nodded.
"Then you have to get to know him better. He is Killer, his full name is Sean Foster, and he is the best streetball player in New Haven." The black man said proudly.
"Shh!"
At this moment, Fortes continued to turn his back on the opponent, turned around and hit the ball.
After scoring the goal, he made a gesture of wiping his neck at his opponent, which immediately attracted louder boos from the sidelines.
Compared with campus basketball or professional basketball, the biggest difference between streetball is freedom. This kind of action, which is 100% expelled from the professional arena, is the best tool to ignite the audience here.
The heads-up on the field continued. Foster's opponent dribbled the ball very well, but the confrontation was not at the same level as Foster's.
The audience on the sidelines was fried again.
There is really nothing to say about the streetball atmosphere in the United States.
After Foster blocked the shot, he also walked around the sidelines. When he walked, he reached out to the audience on the sidelines, imitating Iverson's actions to listen to the cheers.
The scene suddenly exploded.
The so-called more audiences breeds better performances, but even the best performances also need audiences. American streetball players and streetball audiences are really indispensable.
After observing for a while, Tang Tian quickly saw from the confrontation that Foster was playing professionally, or had played professionally before.
Although streetball pays attention to freedom and flamboyance, if it is a heads-up game, it also requires confrontation. If you don't confront, no matter how dazzling your luck is, you will inevitably end up in the end.
"Who else?" Foster won the sentence and shouted at the sidelines.
"I'll do it." Another white player came out, taller and stronger than Foster.
"Tank! Tank!" The crowd shouted the names of the white players again.
Tank, he lives up to his name, but his body is a little flimsy, and he looks like he has a lot of body fat, which is obviously different from Foster.
Tang Tian knew that this tank would definitely not be able to handle Foster, so he simply took out his mobile phone to search for Foster's origin.
This search is true. The player selected by the Raptors with the 2008st overall pick in 51, but did not sign with the Raptors, went directly to Europe to play in the league, and later went to the Mavericks for trial training, but unfortunately he did not stay.
It's no wonder that this kind of fringe player in the NBA is completely invincible when he goes to the street court to play heads-up.
Chapter 45 I'm here to make money
Tang Tian put away his phone after reading it.
In fact, this kind of swingman is the most common type in the United States, but because there are so many, the competition is very high. It is normal not to enter the NBA.
On defense, Tang Tian would definitely be able to defend him, but if he wanted to attack, except for three-pointers, it would probably be difficult for him to score in front of Foster with his other standards that are barely even in the NCAA.
If he really wanted to be singled out, he had to find a rule that suited him.
The heads-up on the field continued, and as Tang Tian expected, this tank was no match for Foster at all.
Even the confrontation that he seems to have the upper hand is completely out of reach for Foster.
In the end, 5 to 0, he was easily killed, and Foster got another hundred dollars.
"Anyone else?" Foster then called to the crowd.
This time no one dared to go up again.
Although street players are relatively free and casual, this heads-up is linked to money, and no one will think too much money.
Foster yelled again, but seeing that no one came, he pouted and shook his head.
Tang Tian walked out at this time.
Seeing someone stand up, there were bursts of whistles and cheers at the scene.
Although street court and campus basketball are both basketballs, because of their different pursuits, there is little overlap between them. Although Tang Tian is doing well in the NCAA, no one here knows him.
Even though they didn't know each other, they applauded his courage.
"You want to come?" Foster saw a yellow man, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.
In the sport of basketball, people of the yellow race have always been the most disadvantaged group because of their physical talents. Taking the NBA as an example, there is never a shortage of outstanding white and black people. .
So Foster's reaction was completely reasonable. Even when he asked this question, the insiders were somewhat disdainful to challenge Tang Tian one-on-one.
"I think your offense is a bit bad." Tang Tian didn't answer Foster directly, but said directly.
As soon as he opened his mouth, there was a burst of booing from the sidelines.
