The invincible kryptonite of basketball

"I just took a look." Tang Tian said with a smile.

Simple greetings are limited to this.

After the two finished speaking, they turned their heads and continued to wait for the car.

The car is a bit slow and delayed.

"Oops." At this moment, Olsen's exclamation suddenly came from next to his ear.

Tang Tian turned his head in doubt, and then saw Olsen groping on his body.

It was winter at this time, and Olsen was wearing a thick overcoat, but this flurry of groping revealed his bumpy figure completely.

Scarlet Witch is fascinating because of her figure.

But obviously, Olsen couldn't be showing off her figure at the moment, she should have lost something.

While watching, Olsen hesitated for a moment, then suddenly looked at Tang Tian and said, "I don't know where I lost my wallet, I have to go back to school to check, can you help me look after Lucy?"

A request, perhaps a series of chance encounters, or perhaps a book given by Tang Tian, ​​gave Olson the most basic trust in him.

"No problem." Tang Tian answered very simply, he was not in a hurry to go back anyway.

"Thank you." Olsen looked a little anxious, and hurried away after speaking.

"Are you the one on TV?" Lucy asked childishly.

"Don't you think so?" Tang Tian also had a daughter in his previous life, and now he looked very kind to Lucy.

"Yes!"

"clever!"

"Hey, Elizabeth also said I was smart." Lucy said with a smile.

"Elizabeth is your sister's name?" Tang Tian continued to ask.

"Yes, Elizabeth is Elizabeth. Oh, she is also my sister, the daughter of my aunt. My aunt has three daughters, and she is the youngest." Lucy said with a smile.

This little girl is really interesting.

Tang Tian couldn't help but want to tease her.

"Are you in elementary school?"

"Up."

"Then let me test you with an arithmetic problem?" Tang Tian said while squatting down.

"Okay!" Lucy said excitedly.

"Well, it's like this. It is known that your sister Elizabeth is 11 years older than you. Three years later, your sister will be twice your age. May I ask... what is your sister's mobile phone number?" Tang Tian asked .

Lucy counted with her fingers, her brows furrowed, and she finally looked at Tang Tian with embarrassment and said, "I can't figure it out, but Elizabeth's mobile phone number is 433... um~~Elizabeth said that her phone number cannot be used. Just tell anyone else."

The little girl said a few numbers, then shook her head vigorously.

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then couldn't help laughing out loud.

This little girl is really interesting.

After a while, Olsen returned, frowning, apparently missing her wallet.

"Elizabeth, this man is so interesting. He tested me on arithmetic and asked me for your mobile phone number." Lucy walked back to Olson, holding her hand and said.

"..."

Tang Tian felt dizzy for a while, the little girl was quite cute in front of her, but this time it was a mess!

Olsen was quite sad at first, but he couldn't help laughing after glancing at Tang Tian.

"Didn't you find your wallet?" Tang Tian hurriedly changed the topic.

"It should have been left in the library, but I couldn't find it. I left my contact information there." Olson said helplessly.

"Then you don't have any money to go back? Do you need me to lend you some first?"

Olsen froze for a moment, then shook his head.

"Elizabeth, we can't take a taxi without money." Lucy said at this time, shaking Olson's hand.

"..." Olsen also glanced at his cousin speechlessly.

"Borrow it first, return it if you have a chance, treat it as your own if you don't have a chance." Tang Tian took out his wallet and took out 10 dollars from it.

"Is that enough?" he said, handing the money to Olson.

"Enough!" Olson hesitated whether to pick it up, and Lucy took the money directly.

Tang Tian smiled, this Lucy looks really hard to mess with.

"Do you have a cell phone?" Olsen asked suddenly at this moment.

Tang Tian nodded, and then took out his broken mobile phone.

Olsen was taken aback when he saw it, but his eyes seemed to be firmer, and he took the phone and pressed a number.

When the bell rang in her pocket, she returned the phone to Tang Tian.

"When I have time, I will return the money to you." Olsen said when he handed over the phone.

Tang Tian nodded.

Being polite at such a time would make Olsen feel uncomfortable, and a quick nod was the best choice.

Speaking of which, he tried to get Olson's mobile phone number from Lucy but failed, so Olsen gave it himself.

At this time, there was a long whistle, and the slow subway finally came.

The two got on the train quickly, and got off one after another at their respective stations.

When he got on the bus back to Kangda, Tang Tian couldn't help laughing as he flashed back to the past.

UConn's victory over Marquette University finally gave the team a breath of relief, but it was just a game in the long regular season.

The time has entered December, and the schedule is more intensive than November.

UConn's first game in December came against a rival, Providence College with Marshan Brooks.

The game started very anxiously, Tang Tian continued to come off the bench in the first half, completed the task assigned by Cajon very well, and defended Brooks to death.

At the end of the half, UConn also led the opponent 37 to 31.

But in the second half the situation changed suddenly. Brooks scored 8 points in a row in the opening game. Calhoun sent Tang Tian and couldn't hold him down. This was a complete runaway.

In the end, Brooks scored 39 points, breaking the Big East's single-game scoring record in the new season, and helping the team beat Conda 73-67.

Although they lost the game, UConn's morale remained undiminished. If Brooks hadn't gone berserk, they would have won this game.

After that, they played back-to-back games against the Cincinnati Binturongs, Villanova Wildcats and Pittsburgh Panthers.

They won all three games.

在2胜4负的战绩之后，他们迎来了一波3连胜，战绩也随之提升到5胜4负。

It's not great, but at least it's watchable.

Tang Tian also played about 25 minutes in these three games.

It can be clearly felt that Calhoun's trust in him is increasing.

Chapter 11 Full Scholarship

The team returned to Connecticut after an away game against the University of Pittsburgh.

At the end of the training session that day, Kahong called Tang Tian to his office alone.

"Don, you may not know that there is such a story about how difficult it is for NCAA non-scholarship players to apply for a full scholarship." After Calhoun motioned him to sit down, he first told him the story.

Tang Tian listened patiently. It is impossible for Cahon to be bored enough to just invite him to listen to the story.

"There is a student named Jerome. He joined the NCAA Division I team. He trained very hard and persisted for four years, but he didn't get a full scholarship in the end. The team gave him a scholarship in the last game. He gave him 30 seconds of playing time as a reward, and his story was widely circulated in the NCAA as an inspirational story, but this is also an unwritten NCAA rule, and players without scholarships will basically not get playing time."

Tang Tian nodded after listening to it. Calhoun was using this story to remind him, telling him how special he is.

"Of course, you are not an ordinary player, you have proved your strength, so I have been trying hard, and finally the school gave me an answer yesterday, they agreed, you will become the team's ninth full scholarship recipient .”

After laying the groundwork for a while, Calhoun finally told Tang Tian the news.

"Thank you coach, I will work hard to live up to your kindness." Tang Tian stood up with a smile and said calmly.

Cajon, an old-school coach, just likes to follow the formalities. He does nothing more than think that if he becomes prosperous in the future, don't forget him as a mentor.

Tang Tian didn't care too much about human nature. Anyway, to get a full scholarship, his goal has been achieved.

"Okay, good." Calhoun smiled happily.

"Oh, by the way, I also applied for a nutrition package from the school." Calhoun suddenly remembered.

Nutrition package?

Tang Tian looked a little puzzled now.

"I know you have been practicing physical fitness, and the method is not bad, but in addition to the method, the nutrition must also keep up, so as to have a better effect." Calhoun continued.

"Thank you coach." Tang Tian really thanked him from the bottom of his heart this time.

Calhoun has his old ways, but is as good a coach at heart as he's ever known.

Calhoun just told Tang Tian the news. Not long after, someone from the school came to communicate with him and asked him to go to other places to receive the scholarship.

As a well-known university in Connecticut, UConn still invests a lot in scholarships. Taking the full sports scholarship as an example, the amount is 5 US dollars a year, which is unmatched by many other universities.

Of course, compared to other colleges and universities in Connecticut, there are quite a lot of schools in Greater Connecticut across the country. Schools like Duke and Kentucky are probably twice as many.

However, with 5 U.S. dollars in hand, Tang Tian is completely enough.

Back in the dormitory, the roommates were all in class, and he then pulled out the system interface.

He glanced at his krypton gold value.

50600 dollars.

5 is the money he just received a full scholarship, and 600 is his salary as a caddy.

Because he has become a member of the school team and received a scholarship, 600 is also his last caddy salary.

But the mantissa is not important, what matters is the big end.

The krypton gold value of 5 US dollars is enough for him to spend a lot of krypton gold in the mall, and directly change to a white skill.

Compared with other levels, white skills are the least and weakest, but when he saw the system for the first time, he had already made a decision.

Among these white skills, the king of jumping (James White) is the most useless, let alone in the NCAA, it is estimated that it is not easy to use in low-level leagues, and it can be played in exhibition games. As for flopping The actor (Varejao) and the free throw king (Calderon) are also temporarily unavailable.

In fact, he already had a goal.

Open three-pointer (Novak): The skill of the three-point marksman Novak. He can make the owner's open three-pointer shoot rate reach 97%, but in the case of confrontation, the shooting rate will plummet to below 30%. , and as physical fitness declines, the opening hit rate will also decay from 97% to 50%.

This is a very wonderful skill, and it just matches Novak's ability.

In Novak's most accurate season, he made 75% of his three-pointers. Even in his entire career, he made more than 43% of his three-pointers!

This is a rather terrifying statistic. You must know that many top three-point shooters have never exceeded this value in a season in many careers.

At the NBA level, after 40% you're an absolute marksman.

But it is such a shooter who has been wandering almost the whole time in the NBA, because he can do nothing but shoot. He has no defense, no confrontation, and no pass. Except for the opportunities given to him by his teammates through tactics, he even He doesn't even have the ability to move on his own.

To put it bluntly, this is a machine that can only shoot, and only fixed-point shooting.

But for Tang Tian, ​​this was enough.

What he has now is exactly what Novak lacks the most, defense.

With the defense and this open shot with almost no misses, he can stand firm in the NCAA.

Although Kangda has ushered in a wave of three consecutive victories recently, he has slowly begun to be targeted by his opponents, and he is often emptied during the game.

This is also a completely normal situation. At the beginning, the opponent does not know your ability, so naturally they dare not do this, but as your playing time increases and your reputation rises, the opponent will definitely study you and then target you.

For example, if you look at your statistics after the game, you have defensive steals and rebounds, but the score is always 0. This is definitely not normal!
