Cahon's words are not just polite words, players will definitely need time to recover and adjust when they return from injury, after all, Walker's injury is not big, but it is not small to say, and it is impossible to find the feeling as soon as he plays after a month of rest.

After playing Pittsburgh, UConn had a few days of rest and a game away from West Virginia University.

West Virginia University is also a prestigious school, and the most famous player in the team's history is Jerry West, the "logo" West, who won the regular season of the Great East Conference last season, entered the tournament as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, and reached the final four.

This season, their strength has dropped due to the departure of the core, but they are still in fifth place in the Great East Conference and are working hard to get into the top half.

It was a tough matchup, with the two sides pitting each other in the opening game, and Smith was even ejected from the game because of it.

The game lasted more than 8 minutes, and the score was tied at 9.

Cajon replaced Napier with Walker at this time, hoping to use him to break the deadlock.

It is Kangda's most classic tactic, Tang Tian and Walker's blocking and dismantling cooperation in the high position.

The opponent was afraid of Tang Tian's three-point shooting ability and did not dare to wrap Walker, and Walker singled the opponent's forward and changed his shot backwards.

This was originally Walker's forte, but his change of direction was obviously a little small, and as a result, his shot was almost blocked by the opponent when he didn't completely shake off, and the ball also went out of the basket after the shot.

After the opponent won the rebound, he directly pushed the fast attack, and the guard's chase three-point shot was made, and the atmosphere of the scene was ignited.

"Kembata......" Ollie stopped talking.

Cajon didn't speak.

There's something clearly wrong with Walker's form, but it's not for any reason.

In fact, after the last game, he talked to Walker privately and asked him if he had not fully recovered from his injury.

Walker's answer was that the injury was no longer an issue.

The game on the court continued, and Walker's breakthrough layup on the right side did not score, and he failed to take two chances in a row.

Seeing that Walker did not play well, the fans at the scene also made a lot of noise.

In the end, Kangda lost the game 61-71 on the road, ending a four-game winning streak.

Walker played 20 minutes and had only four points and three assists on 2-of-10 shooting, not much different from the previous game.

After the game, Cajon chose to avoid all the issues related to Walker.

At the end of the day, the players took a shower in the locker room.

Tang Tian didn't see Walker when he came out of the shower, and no one knew after asking around.

He thought about it for a while, and finally went to the away team's training gym, bringing a bottle of water with him when he went out.

This point is not in the locker room, and with Walker's character, most of the bad performance is due to practice.

Tang Tian arrived at the training hall, and sure enough, Walker was sweating profusely and training there.

"Kemba." Tang Tian went in and shouted.

Walker saw that it was Tang Tian, wiped his sweat, and barely squeezed out a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Take a break, your injury is just right, and you just finished the game, it's easy to recur." Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.

Walker nodded and walked to the sideline and sat down.

Judging by the way he walks, there is really nothing wrong with his ankles.

Tang Tian handed the water to Walker.

"Thank you." Walker took it and took two sips.

"Are you worried about your ankles?" Tang Tian suddenly asked.

"What?" Walker looked at Tang Tian unexpectedly, and his eyes showed that Tang Tian had actually guessed correctly.

"You're afraid of another ankle injury." Tang Tian repeated.

Lamb's poor performance before was a matter of mentality, and Walker obviously couldn't be this, as a junior he has experienced a lot of ups and downs, and judging from his performance after the injury, his heart is extremely strong.

Of course, it can't be a matter of strength, if the ankle injury is good, Walker's strength is definitely in the top ten in the NCAA point guards.

It's not a mentality or an injury, so it's definitely something to worry about if you don't play well.

The only thing that can make him scruple is the ankle that he just injured.

Tang Tian had coached so many players in his previous life, and he still had a good understanding of these.

"yes." Walker smiled wryly and nodded, unconsciously touching his ankle as he spoke.

A month of injury is not a long time, but it is also the biggest injury he has ever had in the NCAA.

A player like him who is a breakthrough player has no ankle injury compared to other injuries, and if he is injured again, even if it is not a major injury like before, then he really can't play in the tournament.

Without him, Kangda would not be able to go far, and his efforts this year would be in vain.

Walker didn't say this, but Tang Tian could completely feel that the two had been together for a long time, and he still knew Walker very well, he was not tall, his heart was strong, and his heart was not inferior to any other player in this year.

"I have a suggestion, I don't know if you want to hear it?" Tang Tian suddenly spoke.

"What advice?" Walker looked at Tang Tian curiously.

"You've got to adjust the way you do it." Tang Tian continued.

"How do you do that?"

"Yes, you are a breakthrough player, it is impossible to change the way of attack all at once, there is more than half a month left in the championship, but you can try to adjust the way you exert your strength, from ankle power to thigh and hip power." Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.

Players who focus on breakthroughs, unless they are players like Iverson, ankle injuries are inevitable, the most typical is Stephen Curry, when he was on a rookie contract, he almost broke through various changes in his career, and he had more than a dozen ankle injuries, and then he changed his way of power and changed his offensive style to survive, so that he had the opportunity to become a superstar.

Of course, the NCAA is not the NBA, and Walker doesn't have as much time as Curry to change the way he attacks, so changing the way he plays is the most likely option.

Walker was curious, this was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

This is also completely normal, the NCAA is not a commercial league, and many things are much less professional than the NBA, what Tang Tian said is like his physical training method, which he mastered when he was a coach in his previous life.

In the following time, Tang Tian explained the specific methods and methods to Walker, and after listening to Walker's expression, he suddenly realized, and the gloomy cloud between his eyebrows seemed to dissipate most of them at once.

His worries can't be said to his teammates or to the coaching staff, because no one can solve this thing, but Tang Tian said differently, Tang Tian gave him a way to solve his worries, and it was effective.

"It's going to take a transition because you're going to be on the pitch and I suggest you can start by breaking through from the left so that you're going to be more of your left ankle than your injured right ankle in the transition phase." Tang Tian added.
