Chapter 48 Walker's Comeback

"Summer, what month is it?" he asked.

"Mid-July." The professor replied.

"No problem." Tang Tian readily agreed. The draft is in June, and there will be a summer league in early July. It is estimated that the team will start training camp in September. Only mid-July and August are the most leisurely.

"I'm fine." Foster agreed.

"Very well, then it's settled, you give me the contact information." The professor said and took out his mobile phone.

Leave the contact information, and this matter is settled.

Being able to make money and playing streetball games with professors is actually quite a cool thing to think about.

"I think you look a little short of money?" After talking about the matter, the professor turned to Tang Tian and asked.

"Forget it." Tang Tian nodded. What he lacked was krypton gold value, but it was actually similar to lack of money, except that the money had to be earned from normal channels.

"Go to New York, there will be many unexpected opportunities in New York's street courts." The professor suggested.

"Thank you, I will go." Tang Tian nodded.

New York is the birthplace of American streetball culture. Queens, New York is also the most prosperous place for streetball culture today. There are indeed many more opportunities there than in New Haven.

After a few more chats, Tang Tian returned to Kangda first.

"Professor, which league player do you think he is from? He is a yellow race, so it should be easy to remember, but I have never heard of such a No. 1 player in the NBDL, CBA, or even Drew." Sturt couldn't help but said curiously.

(Note: The CBA here refers to the Continental Basketball Association of the United States, which was established in 1946.)

"He? He's not a professional player." The professor shook his head with a smile.

"No?" Foster was even more puzzled. Tang Tian's defensive ability and physical confrontation could not be professional.

"I wasn't sure before, but he specifically asked me how many months the game would be and I was basically certain. He should be a student at the University of Connecticut."

"The University of Connecticut? He's an NCAA player!" Foster reacted immediately.

By the way, he always thought of Tang Tian as a professional player, but he forgot about the NCAA.

Tang Tian is so young, and the NCAA does not allow endorsements and commercial games, so he went to the street court to make this kind of small money.

This is the most correct explanation.

"Let's go, if you have the opportunity to watch the University of Concord game, maybe it will be very interesting." The professor said with a smile.

After the end of the offseason, the University of Connecticut played at home against Syracuse University (Syracuse University).

Syracuse University is rich in scorers, the most famous is "Little Melon" Anthony, and they now also have Dion Waiters with good offensive strength.

Waiters was the No. 4 overall pick in 2012, but he was still a freshman at this time.

The last time the two teams suffered from him, he was defended miserably by Tang Tian, ​​and after this game started, he was almost no chance to play when he was pressed by Tang Tian.

Waiters was suppressed, and Syracuse University's offense was also a little weak. Conversely, on the University of Concordia's side, Lamb continued the excellent state of the previous game, and he shot from inside and outside to help the team continue to increase points.

The point difference was widened a little bit, and Kangda suppressed the opponent from beginning to end, and finally won the game 63-50.

Tang Tian scored 4 three-pointers, scored 12 points, 4 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block. Napier had 10 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists. Lamb continued to play efficiently and scored a game-high 25 points on 10 of 19 shots.

The performance of a game may only be accidental, but scoring high scores in a row shows that he has really broken through the obstacle in his heart and played it completely.

In a game where the whole court suppressed the opponent, the morale of the team became more and more high.

With this momentum, Kangda ushered in February, which is also the last month before the league championship game.

This month, the respective rankings of each team in the league are basically determined. Teams that want to compete for the qualification for the championship, and teams that want to improve their ranking in the league in order to have a better advantage against each other will all be here. Catch up in the month.

UConn's first opponent in February is DePaul University, which currently ranks 10th in the Big East and is making a final push to enter the championship game.

The strength and state of Kangda are stronger than their opponents, but they are very anxious after the game starts.

NCAA is college basketball. Although there are talents, the gap is actually far less than that of the NBA. This is why a civilian team like the University of Louisville can also become the first in the league.

DePaul University showed a state of 120% in order to qualify for the championship. They fought very fiercely on both ends of the offense and defense, and the score between the two teams has been clenched.

It wasn't until the last five minutes of the second half that DePaul University had physical problems because of the previous hard work. Lamb and Tang Tian joined hands to play an 8-0 offensive and finally helped Concord University win the game.

After the three-game losing streak, there is a wave of three-game winning streak, which is definitely good news for Kangda.

And after this three-game winning streak, they returned to the second place in the league.

What's even more gratifying is that Walker's injury recovery is better than expected, and theoretically he can play the next game.

UConn's next opponent is the University of Pittsburgh.

The University of Pittsburgh is a famous basketball school, but it has not performed well this season. Now it only ranks 13th in the Big East and has basically missed the championship game. This is a good time for Walker to come back.

The game was played at home, and the night of Walker's comeback was full.

To be on the safe side, Cahoun didn't put Walker in the starting lineup.

After the start of the game, the University of Concord played with great vigour amid the cheers of the home fans. In just over 8 minutes in the first half, it had already led the opponent by a double-digit point difference 15-5.

The game entered a timeout for the University of Pittsburgh, and Cajun came back from a timeout and replaced Napier with Walker.

There were cheers on the spot, knowing that they had not seen Walker play for nearly a month.

Walker came on, Ouriarch gave him a pick-and-roll, Walker broke through the basket and got a one-on-one chance.

However, when he was laying up, his shot was directly blocked by the opponent's center.

There was a commotion at the scene.

However, this is just the beginning. Missing two free throws, three non-sticks, and even letting go, all of which were rare before, all happened to Walker.

At one point fans thought they were seeing a fake Walker.

In the end, Kangda still won the game with a 58-43 victory over its opponents by virtue of its overall strength.

Lamb also continued to play in college with 19 points and 6 rebounds.

However, Walker's debut performance after his comeback was very poor. After 10 minutes, he made 1 of 6 shots, 2 of 4 free throws, 4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and 2 turnovers.

This is obviously not his normal level.

"This is his first game back, I never doubt him, he will soon find his own." Cahon told reporters at the post-match press conference.

Thank you for the reward of Xiaolouhua Yeyu.
