If it is not normal, you will try it. After you try it, you will find that you really can’t shoot, or you basically can’t shoot, then the short will naturally appear.
Therefore, it is definitely the most effective to exchange this vacancy for three points.
And there is another very important point for Tang Tian. The NCAA is not like the NBA. Players can make money by doing endorsements and advertisements. In the NCAA, players are not allowed to make money in any form, even if it is privately given by the school. If so, there is a high probability that he will be kicked out of the league directly.
This is also something that the NCAA has always been criticized by people. You must know that the league earns more money in March Madness every year than the NBA playoffs!
But this is the rule, and it cannot be controlled by individuals.
So the 5 krypton gold value may be the biggest head he can get. In this case, he should choose this open three-pointer.
With this open three-pointer, and then training his body, he is definitely a 3D player.
With the rapid development of basketball in the future, this is quite popular, and it can even be said to be scarce.
Moreover, he is only 18 years old now, and his body will go up a bit under normal conditions. By then, a space-type fourth position and a 3D striker swingman are all completely possible things for him.
This wave of krypton gold is definitely a steady profit.
ps: Is it because my eggplants are not enough to show off or you can’t get hard enough, the recommendation votes have been blown up, brothers!
Chapter 12 Invitational
After exchanging the vacant three-point skill, Tang Tian went to the training hall that night.
The previous individual defense was a defensive skill, and that kind of basic ability was improved. It didn't have much adaptability, and it was more related to his physical fitness.
But this open three-point package is different.
Shooting is something that takes time to adapt and adjust.
The lights were on in the training hall, but no one was there. After he went in, he found two baskets of balls, placed them outside the three-point line, and then started shooting from a fixed spot.
Speaking of this body, it's not that he can't shoot at all, but it's mainly because of his low level, with a shooting rate of about 40% for open shots, which is completely amateur level.
In fact, things like shooting basketball require a lot of training to produce results, but this body is halfway through the debut, so the level is not high.
If you really want to practice it by yourself, it is possible, but it will definitely not work without a few years of hard work, and for ordinary people, even if you practice it, it is impossible to reach Novak's level.
Take the ball, aim the frame, shoot.
The same training as usual, but I can feel the control of the ball and the follow-up action after the ball is shot, much smoother than before.
"boom!"
The first ball was thrown slightly wide.
He went on to pick up the second ball.
The ball is shot again, the same action, but at the moment of the shot, there is a feeling that the basket is like the sea.
"Shh!"
The ball hits the net hollow and silky smooth.
The feeling of coherence is like attaching the results of Novak's practice directly to him.
Playing so many NCAA games without scoring a goal, this shot feels so comfortable, as if I haven't had sex for a long time, and suddenly I saw a **** lying in front of me, and I felt like a momentary orgasm.
Cool!
Tang Tian continued to shoot, and the ball continued to score.
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
……
The arena constantly echoed the sound of the ball hitting the net.
There are a total of 40 balls in the two baskets. Except for the first ball he missed, he scored all the remaining 39 balls!
This is exactly the same as the system introduced, 97% hit rate, no moisture at all.
After 40 shots, his arm was a little sore, so he took a break to continue.
Tonight he's got to get over it first.
……
In the office of the head coach of the arena, Calhoun looked at an invitation letter, hesitating all the time.
The NCAA is divided into the regular season and the playoffs (the playoffs are also called championships). The NCAA is often referred to as the first-level league. It has a total of 32 leagues.
During the regular season, the teams in each league play against each other according to the rules of home and away games, and finally get the top eight in the regular season, and then follow the rules of the single-elimination system to conduct a championship game within the league to determine the final team. Here are the 64 teams that entered the top 32.
After that, the NCAA officially authorized the selection committee to select the remaining 36 wild card teams. A total of 68 teams advanced to the tournament, which is known to fans as "March Madness".
"March Madness" also uses a single-game elimination system. First, the wild card team matches, the top 68 becomes the top 64, and then the 16 teams in each division decide the top four teams, which are aggregated into the sweet 16. To Elite Eight, Final Four, Championship Game, Final Champion.
The entire season can be described as extremely long, and because the tournament is a single-elimination system, there are frequent upsets and excitement.
In the regular season, the team's home and away games are mandatory, and this kind of game has always been played since the start of the Kangda season.
But in addition to this kind of competition, some teams will also choose to fight some schools outside the league to improve the team's strength and promote themselves.
What Calhoun is holding in his hand is the invitation letter issued by HSD State University. They hope to invite UConn to play an invitational game in their school.
The victory or defeat of the invitational match will also be included in the regular season record, and it is an away game, so the invited party will be cautious.
Calhoun considered for a long time before making a final decision, and finally put the invitation letter back in the drawer, then turned off the lights and walked out of the office.
Because he was still in the office, the people in the arena did not turn off the lights, so he turned off the lights along the passage and walked out.
But when he passed the training hall, he stopped involuntarily, because he heard the sound of the basketball inside colliding with the floor.
Obviously, someone is training inside.
A look of doubt flashed across his face.
There is a training class today, and it is so late, who will be practicing in it?
He walked to the door, which was ajar. After he pushed it open, he saw the scene inside.
Tang Tian is training three-pointers.
Moreover, the vote is very accurate.
There was a look of incomparable surprise in his eyes.
He is very clear about Tang Tian's shooting skills. He is so poor that his opponents have started to let him go in the last two games, but this... Could it be that his old eyes are dim?
He took off his glasses and wiped them, and then looked at them again.
Tang Tian's shots were quite gentle, and almost every shot was flawless.
Really hell.
After looking at it for a while, Tang Tian was sweating profusely after casting, and turned around to see him standing at the door.
"coach?"
With an unexpected cry, he walked straight in.
……
Tang Tian really didn't expect that Calhoun was still in the arena. When he saw Calhoun's 70-year-old face concealed at the door, he almost didn't startle himself.
But the old man walked in.
"Have you been practicing for a while?" Calhoun said, looking at his clothes.
"En." Tang Tian nodded.
"I just saw that your three-pointer was very accurate. Why didn't I see you take a shot during the game?" Calhoun asked.
This question was a bit caught off guard, but Tang Tian had experienced storms after all, and after a moment of stupefaction, he immediately thought up his speech.
"Physical fitness is still poor. After investing too much on the defensive end, I can't find the rhythm when I shoot, and I feel surprisingly good today."
A very simple explanation, and Cajon nodded after listening.
There is nothing wrong with this. There are so many people in the NCAA scene. If you are not sure, you really dare not make random shots. Otherwise, there will be no distinction between stars and players.
"I think your physical fitness is much better than before. If you have a chance in the game, you still have to dare to make a shot." Cajon encouraged.
"Well, I will." Tang Tian nodded with a smile. Now that he has a new skill, he has to vote if he has an open spot!
After finishing speaking, Calhoun was about to leave, but suddenly remembered about the invitational tournament, and Tang Tian's golf intelligence in the game, so he couldn't help but speak up.
"HSD State University sent me an invitation letter for the invitational game. Do you think we will play or not?"
Tang Tian seemed a little surprised. After all, this kind of thing is usually decided by the coach himself, but since Calhoun asked, he doesn't mind giving an opinion.
"HSD State University, what is their strength?" He asked.
"Except for one Klay Thompson, the strength of the others is not very good." Calhoun didn't seem to pay much attention to the opponent in his words.
Chapter 13 Klay Thompson
Calhoun certainly has the confidence.
The Big East is now a well-known NCAA league. From 2006 to now, the league has created a record of 8 teams breaking into the championship every year!
16 teams entered 8, which is quite a terrifying promotion rate.
The Pac-10 league to which Washington State University belongs is obviously much weaker, especially in the new season. With the departure of their respective star players last season, they can be regarded as the obviously lower team in all leagues.
Of course, what makes Cajon hesitant is that Washington State University happens to be the league's top team today.
And there is this Klay Thompson he highlighted.
When Tang Tian heard Thompson's name, he was still somewhat excited.
This is Thompson, the Klay who will form the Splash Brothers with Curry in the future.
Speaking of which, he didn't have much contact with the NCAA in his previous life, and he only knew that the college teams of Thompson and Curry were not very good.
But now it seems that the situation is not the same as imagined.
Their team was not very good before these two people went, but after they go, it is probably not the case. Although it is not the strongest team, it is certainly not bad.
"This Thompson is very accurate in three-pointers, and his style is similar to that of Ray and Richard. He is especially good at running without the ball. It will be a little troublesome to deal with." Calhoun added that he was afraid that Tang Tian would not understand Thompson.
Of course, Tang Tian knew about this. Thompson's off-ball skills were indeed similar to those of Ray Allen and Hamilton, both of whom had unlimited stamina.
"I think it's okay to fight." Tang Tian thought for a while and gave his opinion.
"Tell me your reasons," Calhoun continued.
"First of all, I think UConn needs a tough battle to regain its reputation. The opponent is the top team in the Pac-10 league. We are playing away games. If we win, we will definitely achieve this effect."
Calhoun nodded.
"Secondly, you also said just now that the opponent has no other stable scoring points except Klay Thompson, and I can defend Thompson."
Calhoun couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Tang Tian, in fact, is quite high-spirited.
This is a good thing. In addition to strength in defense, tenacity, endurance, and fighting spirit are all important. A player who is not motivated may not necessarily do well even if he is talented.
"I will remember what you said." Calhoun listened, but of course he would not make a final decision just because of Tang Tian's words.
Tang Tian didn't care, anyway, he said everything he had to say. For him, the next game is a chance to show off his three-pointers. Naturally, it would be great to be able to match Thompson, and it won't affect much if he doesn't .
At the training session the next day, Calhoun made an announcement.
The team will fly to Washington tomorrow to play an invitational game against Washington State University.
After the news was announced, the team members had mixed reactions, but most of them showed excitement on their faces.
Washington State University is at the top of the Pac-10 league. The team is now winning three consecutive victories. Playing against such a strong team is both a test and an opportunity.
