Chapter 64： Before the game

The 28th place is almost the same as Lavoi Allen's ranking. This is actually FOX for face. After all, there are 68 teams in the championship, which means that they think Tang Tian is the top 30 power forward in these teams.

"Jeremy is worse than us." Walker also laughed.

Lamb's performance has improved steadily this season, but it seems that FOX Sports does not buy it and directly ranks him at the shooting guard position close to 40th.

Two people laughed.

But after laughing for a while, they all stopped.

This ranking shows that although Kangda is not favored by them!

The two did not speak, and they felt something in each other's eyes: motivation.

Many people see this ranking and see that their ranking is low. Most of them will complain and complain, but they are different. Kangda was not favored at the beginning of the season, and it is completely normal to continue to not be favored.

不 This kind of disapproval is a motivation for them. When you finally prove that it is others who look away, the feeling is the best.

They experienced it for the first time in the league championship, knowing that feeling, naturally they want the second time.

"Exercise!" Walker jumped up.

Tang Tian also stood up.

Providence College's opponent is the University of Santa Barbara.

After the game started, Marshan Brooks quickly became the absolute focus on the field. No one at Santa Barbara University can stop this "Little Kobe". He looks more than Kobe on the field, it is Michael. Jordan.

Brooks opened, and the shelling offense of Providence College was raging.

In the end, Brooks scored 41 points in the game, helping Providence College to wash the opponents 91-63, and successfully advanced to the final 64.

"艹!" After watching the game, Walker couldn't help but swear.

"I just realized that this guy's scoring ability can be so explosive, no, I found out that your defense is so good."

"Are you quabrooks or me?" Tang Tian said with a smile.

"Both boast, but boast you a bit more," Walker said earnestly.

之后 After the game, Brooks raised his hands and applauded to the audience.

观众 During the entire game, the audience cheered for Providence College, which was almost home battle for them.

Providence College ’s final victory is also good news for Kangda. This shows that although only 5 teams have advanced this year, fewer than in the past few years, the strength of the promoted team is still among the best. .

In two days, the final round of 64 was finally determined, and the first round of the crazy March game was also on the verge.

In order to ensure the progress of the competition, there will be eight competition cities in each district. These cities were decided as early as a year ago, and in order to ensure fairness, some neutral cities without colleges were selected.

Games like UConn and San Diego State University were arranged at the Riverfront Stadium in Newark, New Jersey.

This was originally the home base of the New York Bears of the American Baseball Professional League. The site can accommodate up to 40,000 people to watch the game at the same time.

之前 Before the game began, tickets for the game were already sold out by fans on both sides.

At the tournament stage, a game that will be won and lost, fans of both sides will definitely not miss it.

The day before the game, players from both teams came to this port city one after another.

Kangda is the No. 4 seed, and San Diego State University is No. 13. In theory, Kangda is the absolutely dominant side, but there is no absolute one in the single game. A decisive game, play well, then strong The strength is also useless.

It is for this reason that Kangda team members, mainly first-year students, are more or less nervous.

In order to decompress the players, Kahun's approach is to train as usual, and not to deliberately adjust the team rules.

He also made a decision during the training class on that day, and he appointed Tang Tian as the team's captain for the tournament.

In general, the captain is the player with the strongest team strength, but it is not absolute. Some teams will choose a spiritual leader to play this role. Tang Tian plays this role.

I, including Walker, have no opinion on Kahun's decision.

Tang Tian's performance on and off the court has won the trust of the coaching staff and teammates. If he is the captain, he can also help Walker share the pressure of the game.

After training, the team members returned to the hotel one after another.

Tangtian had no drowsiness after lying in bed after taking a bath.

Counting, he has been through for more than half a year, which has changed a lot for him.

With the clear goal of winning the championship, he grew up with Walker and Lam, and experienced ups and downs with them. Until now, there have been big wins, fiasco defeats, and reversals. So many games have been played down, and he was deep in basketball. His love was rekindled a little.

Because he was a coach, he has always stood at a high point. He ca n’t appreciate what it feels like to be a player. Now he can feel that in addition to his love, he also has a lot of things called blood.

Tomorrow will be the championship, plus Ka Hong just appointed him as the captain, he turned a little bit to the side.

"Don, are you asleep?" Walker was lying in the bed next to Tang Tian, ​​and then suddenly said.

"Not yet, why didn't you sleep? Didn't you snore just now?" Tang Tian asked.

"I want to let myself sleep, and I don't want you to find that I can't sleep," Walker said.

"That happened, I didn't want you to find it so I didn't move." Tang Tian continued.

After I finished speaking, both of them couldn't help laughing.

"Are you confident that you can prevent Leonard?" After laughing, UU read the book www. uukansu.com Walker asked.

那 "Are you confident that you can break through Leonard's defense?" Tang Tian also asked.

"Honestly, no, but I believe you and Jeremy, we are different from them, we score more points." Walker replied.

Tangtian couldn't help but smiled. Although Walker wanted to win, he didn't get lost because he wanted to win. He still knew what the advantages of Kangda were.

"I will guard Leonard and Franklin, and the offense will be left to you and Jeremy." Tang Tian followed.

"Well, we have no reason to lose."

"Yes."

"Let's sleep then."

"Ok."

Uh ...

"Don, have you slept?"

"not yet."

"Sleep."

"Ok."

Uh ...

"Don, have you slept?"

"Not yet. Go to Jeremy if you really can't sleep. The guy must haven't slept either."

"No, let's sleep."

Uh ...

The two people just talk from time to time, and don't know when they will really fall asleep.

刚 As soon as the next day, they all woke up early.

It's not a long time to doze off, but the game day is full of energy. At this time, the amount of sleep is not so important.

They went to the training hall by bus and did some simple warm-up training in the morning.

On the bus, they also received the news. In the game last night, North Carolina easily won the opponent to advance to the top 32 with 20 points.

"We have to work hard." Walker turned to Tang Tian when he heard the news.

"Yes, it's our turn." Tang Tian nodded.
