Chapter 22 Getting Better
"Because it's a flying mouse?" Olsen asked tentatively.
She still knows this, there is a kind of mouse called flying squirrel, which has wings, and many people keep it as a pet rat.
However, Tang Tian shook his head.
"Because it eats bread that flies."
"Puff~"
Olsen was directly amused by Tang Tian this time.
"I'm sorry." She held her mouth.
"Okay, last question, do you know why eagles fly?" Tang Tian said.
Olsen couldn't help but laugh and said seriously, "Because it eats flying mice, right?" ”
Now she must have answered correctly, the mouse can fly because it eats the bread that can fly, and the eagle naturally flies because it eats the mouse.
However, he didn't expect Tang Tian to shake his head again.
"Eagles can fly." Tang Tian said with a smile.
“……”
"Haha~"
Olsen finally couldn't control himself, and his laughter trembled.
Tang Tian also smiled.
A small joke finally lost the previous atmosphere, and also shortened the distance between the two a lot.
The meal was much better than expected.
After eating, Olsen sent Tang Tian back to Kangda, and then went back first.
"Hey, Don, how was last night's date?"
The team went to the University of Notre Dame to play the next day, and Napier couldn't help but ask on the plane.
"Yes, that woman's figure is invincible, let me go on a date, I'm willing to die." Forsys said even more exaggeratedly.
"Did you go back to the dorm last night?" Napier couldn't help but ask.
These people are all students, and most of them are little virgins who have not yet experienced the slightest thing between men and women.
"What nonsense do you think, she's just my friend, passing by here and inviting me to a meal." Tang Tian explained.
"Yes, he just invited you to a meal by the way, hey, Don, you have changed, you have become bad, and you don't share good things with your teammates." Napier sighed.
"You're itching, aren't you?" Tang Tian said that he wanted to stretch out his hand.
Aside from Walker, Napier's personality is the most outgoing and the one he has the best relationship with.
At this point, he was about to get started, and Napier hurriedly hugged his head and begged for mercy.
"Actually, it's nothing to spend the night outside, Don he has that charm, do you have it?" Walker spoke at this point.
"Huh~"
The teammates made a commotion, and they all knew that Walker's relationship with Tang Tian was good, but this was too obvious.
"But don't be too tired, just affect the game." Walker continued.
After saying this, the other teammates burst into laughter.
Walker is worried that Tang Tian overworked last night and affected the game!
Tang Tian was speechless for a while, but he also smiled.
It's actually a really good team atmosphere.
The strength of the University of Notre Dame is not very strong in the Great East League, and UConn is now in hot form, and it is basically one-sided after the game starts.
In the end, Kangda won 72-55 and won the opponent bloodlessly.
Tang Tian still came off the bench, and as Cajon said in the previous game, his and Walker's blocking became a new tactic for the team.
In this game, he got 5 chances on the outside, and took advantage of the first 3 times, but in the second half, the defensive physical exertion was relatively large, and the last 2 times failed to shoot.
3 of 5 shots, 9 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks, this kind of performance is not bad.
Walker continued to play efficiently, because he was restrained by Tang Tian on the outside, he got a lot of one-on-one opportunities, and he scored 30 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists in the whole game, and his performance was still eye-catching.
With continuous college play and continuous exposure, many NBA scouts have begun to come to the UConn game scene.
Although the new year's draft predictions on major websites have not yet begun, it is clear that Walker's draft prospects are getting better.
After a few days of rest against the University of Notre Dame, UConn rushed to Seton Hall University for the game against the islands.
In the end, Kangda defeated the opponent 63-57 and ushered in a wave of six consecutive victories.
Tang Tian was taken care of by his opponent in this match, only getting 4 shots, but he hit 3 of them.
Although the stats are similar to the last game, you can feel that he is constantly improving.
On the last day before Christmas, UConn hosted the University of South Florida, an opponent who was at the top of the Great East Conference power rankings, and the whole game was very anxious, and the score difference was always within 5 points.
However, with the cheers of the UConn fans, the home team still had the last laugh 71-70.
Walker chipped in 26 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, Lamb scored 15 points, and Oreucci recorded a double-double of 10 points and 13 boards.
Tang Tian shot 4 of 5 from beyond the three-point line in this game, scoring double-doubles for the first time in his NCAA career, scoring 12 points, 3 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block.
Winning this tough battle, Kangda ushered in a wave of seven consecutive victories, and also ushered in Christmas this year in a perfect way.
Americans' Christmas is the biggest holiday in China, just like the Chinese New Year.
Tang Tian's roommates and teammates also went back, and the first Christmas after being reborn was spent by him alone.
However, he himself is Chinese, plus he has spent a lot of Christmas in his previous life, so there is basically no difference between living alone and living with a group of people.
Even he still conducts physical training as usual, and goes to the training gym to practice in the evening.
By the end of Christmas, the roommates hadn't come back from vacation, but their teammates had all returned, as did Cajon and Ollie.
The student vacation is a month or two, but the NCAA regular season can't be stopped for that long, as usual, basically every four or five days.
"Get moving! Let me see how you're doing this Christmas! ”
On the training ground, Ollie shouted at the Kangda players.
The players are now engaged in a brutal training session on the field: suicide.
Suicide, called suicide in English, translates to suicide switchback running, which refers to the round-trip running from the bottom line of the court along the free throw line - midfield - free throw line - bottom line of the court.
At first glance, this looks like endurance training, but it's not, because there is a time limit, it is a training that combines speed, agility, and explosiveness.
Cajon's request to the players is that of the average college student, to complete a set in 28 seconds, with a 45-second break between groups to see who can make it to the end.
Don't underestimate this kind of training, it may be easier at first, but as the number of sets increases, it really feels like the muscles are burning all over the body.
For the average college student, if you can complete 6 groups, you can meet the standard, 8 groups are very good, and 10 groups are basically not many people can do it.
Amid Ollie's shouts, suicide training continues, and there are people who can't hold on.
By the time we got to Group 10, there were only two people left on the field.
Walker, he's done the most training in this area, and it's no surprise that he persevered until the end.
But there was another person who surprised everyone, he turned out to be Tang Tian!
