Chapter 12 Invitational Tournament

After redeeming the vacant three-point skill, Tang Tian went to the training hall that night.

The previous single-soldier defense was a defensive skill. The basic ability was improved. There was not much adaptability, and it was more related to his physical quality.

But this vacancy three-point package is not the same.

Shooting is something that takes time to adapt and adjust.

The lights in the training hall were on, but no one was there. After he went in, he found two baskets, placed them outside the three-point line, and then started to shoot.

Speaking of which, this body is not completely incapable of shooting, but it is mainly low-level, with a shooting rate of about 40% in the open space, which is completely amateur.

In fact, shooting is something that itself requires a lot of training to produce results, but this body is a halfway 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 after a few years of hard work, and for ordinary people, even if you practice it, it is impossible to reach the level of Novak.

Take the ball, aim for the frame, and shoot.

The same training as usual, but I can feel the control of the ball and the follow-up action after the ball is released, which is much smoother than before.

"boom!"

The first shot went a little too far.

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 is hollow into the net and is silky smooth.

The sense of coherence is like attaching Novak's practice results directly to him.

After playing so many NCAA games and yet to score a goal, this shot feels so comfortable, it's like I haven't had sex for a long time, and suddenly I see a slap in front of me, and I feel a momentary climax.

Cool!

Tang Tian continued to shoot, and the ball continued to enter.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

...

The sound of the ball hitting the net reverberated constantly in the arena.

There were 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, with a 97% hit rate and no moisture at all.

After 40 shots, his arm was a little sore, and he took a break to continue.

He's gotta have a good time tonight.

...

In the arena head coach's office, Cahon looked at an invitation letter and was hesitant.

The NCAA is divided into the regular season and the playoffs (the playoffs are also known as championships).

During the regular season, the teams in each league play against each other in accordance with the rules of home and away games, and finally get the top eight in the regular season, and then conduct the championship game within the league according to the rules of the single-game elimination system to decide the final match. The league championship, here are the 32 teams that entered the top 64.

After that, the NCAA officially authorized the selection committee to select the remaining 36 wild-card teams, and a total of 68 teams advanced to the championship, which is known to fans as "March Crazy".

"March Crazy" also uses a single-game knockout system. First, the wild-card team will compete, and the top 68 will become the top 64. Then the 16 teams in each division will determine the top four teams, which will be aggregated into the sweet top 16. To the Elite Eight, Final Four, Championship, Final Champion.

The whole season can be described as extremely long, and because the championship is a single-elimination system, there are frequent upsets and excitement.

During the regular season, the team's home and away games are mandatory, and it has always been this kind of game since the start of the Concordia season.

But in addition to this kind of competition, some teams will also choose to play against some schools outside the league to improve the team's strength and promote themselves.

What Cahon is holding now is an invitation letter from Washington State University. They hope to invite UConn to play an invitational game at their school.

The victory or defeat of the invitational game will also be included in the regular season record, and it is an away game, and the invited party will be cautious.

Kahon considered for a long time before making a final decision, and finally put the invitation back in the drawer, then turned off the light and walked out of the office.

Because he was still in the office, the people in the arena didn't turn off the lights. He turned off the lights along the aisle and walked out.

But when he passed the training hall, he stopped involuntarily because he heard the sound of the basketball hitting the floor inside.

It was obvious that someone was training inside.

A look of doubt flashed across his face.

There is a training class today, and it's so late, who will be training in it?

He walked to the door, the door was closed, and after he gently pushed it open, he saw the scene inside.

Tang Tian, ​​training three-pointers.

Also, it was very accurate.

There was a look of surprise in his eyes.

He is very clear about Tang Tian's shooting level, and his opponents have begun to let him empty in the last two games, but this... Could it be that he is dizzy?

He took off his glasses, wiped them, and looked again.

Tang Tian's shot is quite soft, and he almost misses the shot.

What the hell.

After watching for a while, Tang Tian was sweating profusely over there, then turned his head and saw him standing at the door.

"coach?"

With an unexpected cry, he walked straight in.

...

Tang Tian really didn't expect that Kahon was still in the arena. When he saw Kahon's 70-year-old face hidden at the door, he almost didn't startle himself.

But the old man came in.

"Have you been practicing for a while?" Kahon said, looking at his clothes.

"Well." Tang Tian nodded.

"I saw your three-pointer was very accurate just now. Why didn't I see you make a shot during the game?" Kahon asked.

This question was a bit unexpected, but Tang Tian had experienced storms after all, and after being stunned for a while, he immediately thought about his words.

"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, Kahon nodded after listening.

There is nothing wrong with that. There are so many people in the NCAA scene. If you are not sure, you really don't dare to shoot at will, otherwise there will be no difference between stars and players.

"I think your physical fitness is much better than before. If there is a chance in the game, you still have to dare to shoot." Kahun encouraged.

"Well, I will." Tang Tian nodded with a smile, now that he has new skills, he must vote when he has a vacancy!

After Kahon finished speaking, he was about to leave, but he suddenly remembered the invitational match, and thought of Tang Tian's performance in the game, so he couldn't help but speak.

"Washington State University sent me an invitation to the Invitational Tournament, do you want us to play or not?"

Tang Tian seemed a little surprised, after all, this kind of thing is usually decided by the coach himself, but since Kahun asked, he didn't mind giving an opinion.

"Washington State University, how are they?" he asked.

"Except for one Klay Thompson, the others are not very strong." Kahun didn't seem to take his opponent seriously in his words.

call! Finally signed!
