Walker only spent one day in the hospital, and the next day he was wrapped in a protective gear and returned to the UConn training hall in a wheelchair.

When they saw him appear, their expressions were more exaggerated than the other, and they were all stunned.

It can be clearly felt that Walker's appearance is a very big boost to the team's morale.

"I'm looking at you, don't let me lose!" Walker was on the sidelines in a wheelchair, laughing and shouting at the players.

He had a smile on his face and the players were working harder and harder as they trained on the field.

After four days of training, UConn is back at home to the University of Louisville.

Walker was absent, and Kangda's main point of attack became Lamb, but Lamb seemed a little inapplicable after the opening, Tang Tian blocked the opportunity for him, but he missed a series of jump shots, and one ball even almost missed three times.

It's not about strength, it's about mentality.

At halftime, Lamb scored only six points on 2-of-10 shooting, and Kangda also trailed the opponent by a score of 27-41.

In the second half, Cajon adjusted his strategy and focused his attack on the blocking of Tang Tian and Napier.

Tang Tian's three-point position still pulled up a lot of offensive space for Kangda, but Napier was two gears worse than Walker's strength, and several chances failed to finish.

Forced to the end, Cajon could only rely on new tactics to let Tang Tian shoot three points, and after Tang Tian scored two, he was focused on defense, and Kangda's offense was paralyzed.

In the end, Kangda lost 56-71 at home, ending a ten-game winning streak.

Lamb was unusually bad, shooting just 4-of-16 from the field, barely scoring a double-double on free throws, and committing as many as four turnovers.

This performance clearly did not live up to the team's expectations for him.

The defeat was a bit depressing, and the usual laughter during the training session was gone, except for the muffled sound of the basketball and the floor crashing.

"Aren't you going to lose? Are you so upset? I didn't play Louisville when I wasn't injured, so there's really nothing to be ashamed of, we're still second in the league, so it's a little bit exciting. Walker was still smiling and shouting at the players from the sidelines.

His encouragement worked, and his teammates gradually recovered.

After a three-day break, the team traveled to the University of Cincinnati.

Walker was on crutches and traveled with the team to the away game.

After the start of the game, an open three-pointer from Tang Tian and a breakaway from Napier gave Kangda a dream start.

But the game was fighting, and Kangda was a little lacking in firepower.

In the end, they also lost the game 52-63, suffering a wave of two consecutive defeats.

Lamb continued to struggle, scoring just 15 points on 6-of-20 shooting.

After the game, Cajon pulled Ollie and Walker for a while, and it was clear that the successive inerratities had made him lose some trust in Lamb.

"Coach, he's talented, he just needs time to get used to, no one was born to be a leader." Walker said with a smile.

Walker's words eventually convinced Cajon.

Back at UConn's training session, Walker also pulled Lamb for a chat.

After chatting, he continued to smile and cheer his teammates on with loud shouts.

He waited until the training was over and the team members had left one after another before he was ready to leave.

Tang Tian hadn't left yet, he went to the locker room and returned to the training hall.

When he entered, he saw that Walker had no smile on his face, and instead looked depressed.

"Kemba." Tang Tian opened his mouth and shouted.

"Don? You're not gone yet? Seeing Tang Tian coming, Walker barely squeezed out a smile on his face.

"Sit." Tang Tian saw that Walker was about to get up and motioned for him not to move yet.

"How's your recovery going?" Tang Tian walked over to his side and sat down.

"In that case, I thought I would be able to recover a little faster than expected, but it seems that the doctor is more professional." Walker said with a wry smile.

"It's pretty much good news as expected, injuries don't come in a hurry." Tang Tian said.

"It's hard not to be anxious about the current situation of the team." Walker said a little helplessly, he was very familiar with Tang Tian, and he was completely sincere at this time.

"It's really not easy for you." Tang Tian patted him on the shoulder as he spoke.

Whether the team lost or Lamb didn't play well, Walker always kept a smile in front of his teammates and gave positive encouragement.

Although he is only 1.85 meters tall, you can feel that he has a strong heart.

"If I'm all frustrated, then this team might be really finished." Walker said with a wry smile.

"It's going to get better, just get through this month, we just need to be in the top eight to play the championship, anyway, the teams in the league will definitely have to play, first play and then play is actually pretty much the same." Tang Tian comforted.

Walker nodded.

"You said Jeremy, what went wrong with him, I can feel that he is not an attitude problem, but simply a bad performance." He continued.

"Mentality, he's a little nervous." Tang Tian pointed to his chest.

"Also, I can feel the helplessness of the old man, he doesn't dare to say it too bluntly, if Jeremy's mentality collapses, it will not only be a matter of the current month." Walker said and shook his head.

"I think he might need some external stimulation." Tang Tian said a different opinion.

"Huh?" Walker looked at him quizzically.

"You remember when Jeremy first played, he struggled a little bit, I remember the game against Marquette, he played 2+1 and then let go, so I think he needs something to blow his heart in the first place to have an effect." Tang Tian used a description.

"What if it blows up?" Walker probably understood the meaning of Tang Tian's words, that is, to change the way in a rough way.

"What's the difference between this situation and not blowing up? I could feel that the coach was already a little distrustful of him. Tang Tian replied.

Walker nodded, after the last game, if he hadn't spoken, Cajon might have put Lamb on the bench to reflect.

"How did it explode?" Walker then asked, obviously agreeing with what Tang Tian said.

"That's ......," Tang Tian said his thoughts.

"So ruthless? Do you want to say hello to the old man first? Walker said with some concern.

"If I could, I would have said it earlier, do you think the coach would have agreed at that age?" Tang Tian asked rhetorically.

Walker thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Let's wait until the next game is over, and see if what I talked to him about has any effect." He continued.

Tang Tian nodded, what he had to do also needed a flashpoint, and it was indeed a bit risky, if Lamb played well, there was no need to take this risk.
