Who's this?

Tang Wenlong only took half a quarter of the game to let the audience know his name - Tang from the Far East!

"I didn't expect Jim to hide such a hand!" Coach John looked at the piles of Syracuse University players besieging the city in the distance, and a deep fear of this basketball team swelled in his heart. In his opinion, with the talent and strength that Tang Wenlong showed just now, it was enough to make up for the vacancy caused by Jonny Flynn's departure, and even more than that, after all, they also found a super student with great physical talent like Wesley Johnson.

"It's hard to fight~~" Coach John let out a long sigh and touched his head in annoyance.

In fact, Coach Jim also felt that this game was very difficult to play, the interior duo each carried three fouls, and even the bench players had fouls, Monroe was too lethal to the inside line of Syracuse University, if he continued to chisel like this, Coach Jim estimated that he would have to put Wesley Johnson in the position of power forward immediately to put out the fire.

Both coaches found it tricky, but luckily it was only a friendly game, not a game with a bad league result.

At the beginning of the second half, Coach Jim put Tang Wenlong on the bench and rearranged the previous starting lineup, while Georgetown University was still a team with Monroe as the core.

"Haha, it looks like Georgetown University is very strong!" While Jim was thinking about what to do on the field, Jack walked over with a bottle of mineral water.

Jim glanced at him, then returned his gaze to the court, and said helplessly: "There is a lack of a player who can compete with Monroe on the inside, although our young players are very active in defense, but Monroe is not the kind of player who goes straight to the point, you see his footsteps and feints under the basket, it is really good." ”

"Why don't you use Don?" Jack said, taking a sip of water.

Jim was stunned for a moment, then reacted and gave him a blank look: "I used it in the first half." You go to the hall now, I guarantee that all the audience at the scene already know Don's name now! ”

"Oh?!" Jack came interested, "Why?" ”

Jim didn't bother to explain to him and shrugged, "I think you can just go and ask Don." ”

Tang Wenlong had already seen Jack who suddenly appeared, he looked at Jack who was talking to Coach Jim, from the bottom of his heart, after getting along with Jack day and night for three months, he felt that Jack was his real coach. Therefore, he is also very concerned about Jack, staring at the two of them.

Jack turned his head and glanced at Tang Wenlong, and then suddenly smiled: "Behave well, Don!" Tang Wenlong smiled and nodded.

The players around him were a little curious: "Hey, Don! You'll know Mr. Jack! ”

"Mr. Jack?"

"Jack is the dedicated trainer and nutritionist for our Orange People basketball team, oh my gosh, have you ever tasted his nutritious meal, I think it's something that breaks down!"

Tang Wenlong was reminded of his teammates' words, remembering the miserable diet control situation for three months, and couldn't help but shudder.

Georgetown University still had the upper hand on the court, and Wesley Johnson staged an empty dunk in the middle of a fast break, which ignited the atmosphere of the scene!

"The two new players are very good, the physical quality of these two is really amazing!"

"yes, both of them each contributed a really nice dunk in each half, and oh my god, I'm starting to look forward to Syracuse this season!"

Coach Jim, who mainly practiced soldiers, did not take the victory or defeat in mind, and it was not until the end of the second half that Tang Wenlong was given the opportunity to play again.

As soon as Tang Wenlong came up, he immediately played with Wesley Johnson to block and dismantle, and Wesley hit a mid-range shot to score two points.

At this time, Coach John Thompson III saw that the player he thought was a swingman at the forward actually played the point guard position, and judging from his performance, he was still a point guard who liked to pass the ball!

However, Tang Wenlong still had too little time to run in with his teammates after all, and although he passed a good ball, he also made two passing errors, one of which was caught by Georgetown University and played a counterattack.

Confusion and turnovers were the main theme of Syracuse's second half, as it was at the start of the first half, while the weak interior defense was like paper paste, and Monroe's scoring in the box was like a probe.

At the end of the game, the Syracuse University Orange People basketball team lost 54-66 to the Georgetown University basketball team.

Coach Jim was not unhappy about losing the game, he saw the potential of the players and the hope of this team, and at the same time saw the team's current shortcomings, which made him gradually have an overall idea of training in his heart and began to look towards a further goal.

And the audience of Syracuse University, who left the scene, also looked at Tang Wenlong who came down from the field with great interest.

They still can't forget the earth-shattering slam dunk that Tang Wenlong completed after he came out, and on the body of Monroe, the opponent's strongest insider, he slashed his head and covered his face to complete the violent dunk. That picture is deeply fixed in their minds, and every time they meet a classmate, they will still come forward to talk and show off!

"Hey, buddy! Did you know that we have a new player on our basketball team, and the paint zone has deducted Monroe from Georgetown! ”

"Have you heard of Don? A freshman from China slammed his head on the center of Georgetown! ”

Some people don't believe it, some people are skeptical, and it's a pity that there is no camera to shoot the whole process of this innocuous friendly match, and some students want to find the school to get the video, but the school doesn't have it.

Finally, a lucky man named "Robinson" uploaded a video he shot with his mobile phone on YouTube, the video was very blurry, and the angle was 45 degrees upward, he was just idle and bored, wanting to see the appearance of this new Chinese player, but he didn't expect to shoot an out-of-print video material.

The number of clicks is not high, but the entire Syracuse University knows Tang Wenlong's name!

In less than two days, Tang Wenlong walked on campus, and he would be pointed at along the way, he is now a celebrity Tang of Syracuse University, and there are many people who talk to him and chat, and there are even a few very good-looking senior sisters. At the beginning, Tang Wenlong was still very unaccustomed to politely talking to everyone he talked to, and his oral English level rose rapidly, and gradually he became less optimistic, and he was able to talk to everyone naturally and skillfully, and the whole person became old.

And as the days passed, the time for the opening event of the Great East Conference Championship was getting closer and closer.

The NBA has also started preseason games after an offseason. Syracuse University found several famous schools for warm-up competitions.

In one game against the University of South Florida Bulls, Tang Wenlong came off the bench for 17 minutes and scored 14 points, and Syracuse University took half a game to establish a nearly 20-point lead. The warm-up game played people like this, and the audience watching the game was speechless, and the Bulls players in the game were even more depressed: "If our big center, Solomon Arabi, who is two meters 16 meters tall, is here, how can Syracuse University be so arrogant?" How dare this yellow-skinned kid repeatedly score inside? “

After winning this game, Syracuse University has attracted a lot of attention from the outside world, and some NBA scouts with a keen sense of smell have begun to wander around Syracuse University in an attempt to dig up some new talents.

In the fifth game against the University of Cincinnati, Tang met a strange opponent.

said that he was strange because he was about the same height as Tang Wenlong, but he preferred to run inside to grab rebounds with the center, and the outrageous thing is that most of the rebounds that the center got rid of were grabbed by him, and his sense of smell for rebounds and his extremely skillful card position skills were like a short rebounding guard.

Well, his name is Lance Stephenson, a leopard-headed, ring-eyed, strange-looking guy.

Tang Wenlong played as a starter, and after nearly 20 minutes of trash talk that he chattered about, Tang Wenlong didn't say a word, just attacked with his head bored. What made Tang Wenlong depressed was that after several invincible breakthroughs, this time he finally met his opponent, Lance Stephenson's defensive skills are very good, he doesn't eat shaking, and he moves sideways quickly, it is difficult for him to live cleanly, and his efficiency is greatly reduced.

The game has also become very scorching, and Cincinnati is also considered the No. 1 player in the Great East Conference, with superstars like Isaiah Thomas and a lot of strength. He has also reached the NCAA National Final Four 6 times and won the NCAA championship 2 times.

After 40 minutes of fierce battle, Syracuse University narrowly defeated the University of Cincinnati Bears 63-61 by two points, and the two sides fought to the end, and Tang Wenlong stood for nearly 30 minutes. The victory of such a game made the Syracuse University fans who watched the game live at that time very happy, and after this game, a small group of Tang Wenlong's first wave of fans appeared.

In the end, in the six friendly matches, except for the rout in the first one, Syracuse University won the next five. Of course, except for Georgetown and Cincinnati, which can be regarded as traditional powerhouses, the other college teams are not strong, and they are not even affiliated with the six major leagues, it is purely Jim who gives confidence to this group of players from Syracuse University.

As soon as the clock turned, it was time for the NCAA Tournament to officially kick off
