"Haha, it seems that Georgetown University is very powerful!" Just as Jim was thinking about the countermeasures, Jack came over with a bottle of mineral water.
Jim glanced at him, then looked back at the court and said, "The line lacks a player who can compete with Monroe. Although our little players are very active in defense, Monroe is not the kind of player who goes straight. Look at his basketball steps and feints."
"Why don’t you don?" Jack took a sip of water and said
Jim was stunned and then gave him a white look. "Half-time has passed. Now, take a walk at the station. I guarantee that all the audience at the scene already know Tang’s name!"
"oh? !” Jack came and was in the mood "What?"
Jim was too lazy to explain to him and shrugged. "I think you can ask Don directly."
Tang Wenlong had already seen Jack suddenly appear. He looked at talking to coach Jim. Jack spoke from the bottom of his heart. He spent three months with Jack day and night. He felt that Jack was his real meaning. He was also very concerned about Jack.
Jack turned his head and looked at Tang Wenlong, then suddenly smiled, "Behave Don!" Tang Wenlong then nodded with a smile.
The players around are a little curious, "Hey Don! You should know Mr. Jack! "
"Miss Jack?"
"Jack is a special trainer and nutritionist of our orange basketball team. God, have you ever tasted his nutritious meal? I think it’s a heartbreaker!"
Tang Wenlong was recalled by his teammates’ words, and he couldn’t help shuddering when he remembered the tragic control of his diet for three months.
The situation was still dominated by Georgetown University. Wesley Johnson played a fast break and caught a dunk to ignite the atmosphere!
"The two new players are very good. Their physical fitness is really amazing!"
"Yes, they both contributed a very beautiful dunk at half-time. God, I have some expectations for Syracuse University this season!"
Coach Jim, the trainer, didn’t put the victory or defeat in his heart until the last half of the game before giving Tang Wenlong a chance to play again.
As soon as Tang Wenlong arrived at the horse, he made a pick-and-roll match with Wesley Johnson and scored two points with Wesley’s hit.
At this time, coach John Thompson III saw this. He is a swingman, playing in the point guard position, and from his performance, he is still a point guard who likes the ball!
However, after all, Tang Wenlong still had too little running-in with his teammates. Although he made a good ball, he also made two ball mistakes, one of which was caught by Georgetown University and turned into a counterattack.
Chaos and mistakes have become the main theme of Syracuse University at half-time, just like at half-time, and the weak line defense is like paper paste. Monroe’s scoring in the penalty area is like grabbing something.
At the end of the game, Syracuse University Orange Basketball Team lost to Georgetown University Basketball Team 54-66.
There is nothing unhappy about losing the game. Coach Jim saw the potential of the players and the hope of the team, and at the same time saw the team’s current shortcomings, which gradually gave him the overall idea of training and looked forward to the further goal.
The audience who left Syracuse University also watched with interest as they came to Tang Wenlong.
They still can’t forget Tang Wenlong’s amazing smash after he came out, and Monroe, the strongest line in the other side, finished the slam dunk. The picture is deeply fixed in their minds, and every time they meet a classmate, they will still talk and show off!
"Hey buddy! Do you know that a new player in our basketball team painted the area and deducted Georgetown Monroe! "
"Have you ever heard of Tang? A freshman from China dunked his head in Georgetown center! "
Some people don’t believe it, some people are dubious, but unfortunately, there is no camera for this painful friendly match. Some students want to ask the school for a video, but the school doesn’t have it.
Finally, a lucky man named "Robinson" met with his mobile phone in Youube. The video was very vague and the angle belonged to 45 degrees. He was idle to chat and wanted to see the new China player, but he didn’t expect to capture the absolute video information.
The number of hits is not high, but the whole Syracuse University knows the name of Tang Wenlong!
In two days, Tang Wenlong will be pointed at all the way when he walks on campus. He is now a celebrity of Syracuse University, Tang. He chats up with many people, and there are several very beautiful senior figures. At first, Tang Wenlong was very unaccustomed to responding politely to everyone he talked to. Gradually, his oral English level rose rapidly, and he became dim. He was able to talk to everyone naturally and skillfully, and the whole person became mature.
As the day goes by, it is getting closer and closer to the opening match of the Greater East Alliance Championship.
After an offseason, the NBA also played preseason games, while Syracuse University found several famous schools to warm up and discuss.
A game against the University of South Florida Bulls, Tang Wenlong came off the bench for 17 minutes and scored 14 points. Syracuse University established a lead of nearly 2 points in the half game. The warm-up match made people look like this, and the bulls players were even more depressed. "If our big center is 2 meters tall and 16 meters tall, how can Syracuse University be so arrogant?" How dare this small yellow skin repeatedly score the line? “
Winning this game, Syracuse University has attracted a lot of attention from the outside world, and some NBA scouts with a keen sense of smell have been dragging around Syracuse University in an attempt to dig out some new people.
Tang Wenlong met a strange opponent in the fifth game against the University of Cincinnati.
It is strange to say that he is about the same height as Tang Wenlong, but he loves to go to the line to grab rebounds with the center. It is outrageous that the center has lost his rebounds and most of them have been robbed by him. He is so skilled in rebounding that his blocking skills are like a short rebounding guard.
Okay, his name is Lance Stephenson, a strange-looking guy with a leopard head and eyes.
Tang Wenlong’s first appearance has gone through more than 20 minutes of chatter. Tang Wenlong’s silence is a blunt attack, which makes Tang Wenlong depressed. He has experienced several unfavorable breakthroughs. This time, he finally met his opponent Lance Stephenson’s defensive skill is very good. He can hardly make him clean and efficient without eating and swaying.
The game has also become very anxious. Cynthia is also the No.1 in the Dadong League. Superstars like Isaiah Thomas have great strength. She has also reached the NCAA semi-finals six times and won the NCAA final championship twice.
After a fierce battle of four minutes, Syracuse University narrowly beat the University of Cincinnati Bears by 63-61, and both sides fought with real swords and spears. In the end, Tang Wenlong played for nearly three minutes. This victory made Syracuse University fans happy at that time, and a small number of Tang Wenlong fans appeared after this game.
In the end, Syracuse University won the last five friendlies except the first defeat. Of course, except Georgetown and Cincinnati, other university teams were not strong enough to belong to the six major leagues. It was Jim who found confidence in Syracuse University players.
As time went by, it was time for the NCAA tournament to officially kick off.
Chapter 20 unveiling
For Tang Wenlong, college life is spent in non-stop classes and training.
His roommate can’t see him all the time. Usually, Tang, a celebrity in Syracuse University, will return to the dormitory in the middle of the night. They have little communication, but Tang Wenlong’s modesty and courtesy are still firmly imprinted in the minds of the three roommates. They feel like living with celebrities. They have also become the earliest fans in Tang Wenlong. When they go out to communicate with their classmates, they mostly talk about this magical roommate.
November 19, 2009, it was a Sunday, and the NCAA men’s basketball championship officially started on this day. The venues of the two teams were held by Akron University and Mississippi State University, which became the focus of attention. Scouts flocked to look for everything that might become a potential seedling.
Syracuse University’s own opening match was against the Golden Eagle basketball team led by Lazar Hayward from Marquette University, a powerful team of Dadong Alliance.
Both teams have experienced a very similar season. Last year, Lazar Hayward, Jeremy McHale, Dominic and James Wesley Matthews played a very good season together. However, his teammates announced their participation in the draft in the summer, and now he is left alone in the university.
Of course, even so, Marquette University is still a team that can’t be underestimated, just as everyone can’t underestimate Syracuse University.
Coach Jim also attaches great importance to this game, and let Syracuse University players come to the basketball hall early to get used to the venue and do some simple warm-up training.
The game will be held at 5: 30 pm. After a short training at Syracuse University, players from Marquette University will also appear in the arena in twos and threes.
"Look, that man is Lazar Hayward, the top player at Marquette University!" Wesley Johnson pointed a Tang Wenlong in one direction and turned his head to look at it-there was a tall man about six feet six inches, and his skin was a little dark and he looked much stronger than his peers. At this moment, he was skillfully doing some hip dribbling to show his excellent ball control ability.
Tang Wenlong nodded his head to show that he knew it would be the most important ones at Syracuse University tonight.
"Jimmy, did you see that yellow-skinned player wearing the No.9 jersey is the former coach who specially asked us to pay attention to Syracuse University players!" On the other hand, Lazar Hayward also saw the other side of the basketball court doing shooting training. Tang Wenlong and Wesley Johnson said softly to his teammates next to him
Jimmy Butler made a pout with a hint of disdain. "I really don’t know what the coach will draw our attention to such a rookie player. God, Wesley Johnson next to him is our enemy. If we are troubled by his impenetrable defense, it will be difficult for us to retreat today."
"Don’t underestimate people," Lazar Hayward said seriously, with a slight increase in tone. "The coach naturally has a point!"
Jimmy Butler, the "big brother of lazare", felt a little wronged. He felt that his idea was the right one.
Lazar Hayward said with a deep sigh, "Jimmy, I know my heart is still tangled, but you should know that coaching arrangement is the basic quality for us to become professional players in the future. I know that you have great potential. Although you are not a team starter yet, your talent will definitely be able to log in to the NBA in the future. Whether you can complete coaching arrangement will be the key to your fate. You should keep this in mind."
Jimmy Butler nodded like a chicken pecking rice and carefully remembered every word of his big brother.
