Chapter 48 Walker's Comeback
"What month does summer mean?" he asked.
"Mid July." The professor replied.
"No problem." Tang Tian agreed readily. The draft will be in June and early July. The team will probably start training camp in September, but mid-July and August are the most leisurely.
"I'm fine, either." Foster agreed.
"Very good, then that's it. Give me a contact information." The professor said as he took out his cell phone.
Leave the contact information, and the matter has been decided.
It is actually quite a pleasant thing to be able to make money and play street football with professors.
"I think you look a little short of money?" After talking about it, the professor turned to Tang Tian and asked.
"That's right." Tang Tian nodded. What he lacked was krypton gold value, but in fact it was similar to lack of money, but this money had to be earned by himself from normal channels.
"Go to New York, there will be many unexpected opportunities in the street courts in New York," the professor advised.
"Thank you, I will go." Tang Tian nodded.
New York is the birthplace of American streetball culture, and New York's Queens is also the most prosperous place for streetball culture today. There are indeed many more opportunities there than in New Haven.
After chatting for a few more words, Tang Tian returned to Kangda first.
"Professor, which league does he think he is? He is a yellow man, so it should be easy to remember, but I have never heard of such a person in NBDL, CBA, or even Drew." Foster couldn't help but say curiously.
(Note: The CBA here refers to the Mainland Basketball Association of America, established in 1946.)
"He? He is not a professional player." The professor smiled and shook his head.
"No?" Foster was even more confused. Tang Tian's defensive ability and physical confrontation could not be professional.
"I wasn't sure before, but he asked me specifically what month the game was, and I was basically sure. He should be a student at the University of Connecticut."
"University of Connecticut? He is an NCAA player!" Foster reacted immediately.
By the way, he kept thinking about Tang Tian in the direction of a professional player, but he forgot about the NCAA.
Tang Tian is so young, and the NCAA does not allow endorsements and commercial competitions, so he runs to the street court to make such a small amount of money.
This is the most correct explanation.
"Let's go, if you have the opportunity to go and see Kangda's competition, it might be very interesting." The professor said with a smile.
After the offseason ended, Kangda played against Syracuse University (Syracuse University) at home.
Syracuse University produces a lot of scorers, the most famous one is "Little Melon" Anthony, and they now have great offensive strength Dion Witts.
Witts was the No. 4 show in 2012, but he was still a freshman at this time.
The two teams suffered a lot from him when they suffered the previous one. They were almost the same after the game started. He was pressed by Tang Tian and almost never got out of his phone.
Witts was suppressed, and Syracuse's offense was a little weak. On the other hand, Lamb continued his outstanding state in the last game, and his shots from inside and outside helped the team keep increasing points.
The score difference was slightly widened, and Kangda suppressed his opponent from beginning to end, and finally won the game 63 to 50.
Tang Tian scored 4 three-pointers, scored 12 points, 4 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block, Napier scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists, Lamb continued to perform efficiently, making 10 of 19 shots and scoring the game-high 25 points.
The performance of a game may be just accidental, but the continuous high scores indicate that he has really broken through the obstacle in his heart and has completely played out.
In a game where the opponents are suppressed, the team's morale is getting higher and higher.
With this momentum, Kangda ushered in February, the last month before the league championship game.
This month, the teams basically determine their respective rankings in the league. Teams that want to compete for the championship qualification and teams that want to improve their ranking in the league in order to have a better advantage in the league will catch up this month.
Kangda's first opponent in February was DePaul University, who is currently ranked tenth in the Big East and is making the final effort to enter the championship game.
Kangda's strength and condition are stronger than his opponents, but he is extremely anxious after the game starts.
NCAA is college basketball. Although it is talented, the gap is far less than that of the NBA. This is why civilian teams like the University of Louisville can also become the top in the league.
In order to compete for the championship, DePaul University has achieved 120% of its status, and has fought fiercely on both offense and defense, and the scores of the two teams have been tightly clenched.
It was not until the last five minutes of the second half that DePaul University had physical problems because of his fierce fighting before. Lamb and Tang Tian joined hands to fight an 8-0 offensive, and finally helped Kang Da win the game.
After three consecutive losses, we have won three consecutive victories, which is definitely good news for Kangda.
And after this three-game winning streak, they returned to the second place in the league.
What is even more gratifying is that Walker's injury recovery and expectations are better, and he can play in the next game.
The next opponent of Continental is the University of Pittsburgh.
The University of Pittsburgh is a prestigious basketball school, but it has performed poorly this season and is now only ranked 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 held at home, and Walker's comeback night was full.
To be on the safe side, Kahon did not place Walker in the starting lineup.
After the game started, Kang Da played with cheers from home fans. He only scored more than 8 minutes in the first half and had already led the opponent's double-digit score difference 15-5.
The game entered the timeout at the University of Pittsburgh, and Kahon came back to take the timeout and replaced Napier with Walker.
Cheers were surging at the scene, you should know that they hadn't seen Walker play for nearly a month.
Walker came on the court, Ori Archie played a pick-and-roll for him, and Walker broke through the basket and got a one-on-one opportunity.
However, when he was laying, his shot was directly blocked by the opponent's center.
There was a turmoil at the scene.
However, this is just the beginning. Two free throws, three no-touch, and even losers are all rare things that have happened to Walker.
Fans once thought they were seeing a fake Walker.
In the end, Kangda still defeated his opponent 58 to 43 with its overall strength.
Lamb also continued to play in colleges and universities with a score of 19 points and 6 rebounds.
However, Walker's debut performance after his comeback was very poor. He played for 10 minutes, made 1 of 6 shots, made 2 of 4 free throws, scored 4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and made 2 mistakes.
This is obviously not his normal level.
