The NCAA competition hasn't started yet, but most colleges across the country have officially started in the fall.

And once he officially started classes, Tang Wenlong found that his life was more fulfilling than before, especially this heavy study, it was like returning to high school. What's even more incredible is that when his classmates knew that he came in as a "sports student", they all showed curious eyes, as if they wanted to see through him.

Tang Wenlong is very low-key, but his skin color, appearance and superior figure are destined to be extraordinary in such a private university. On the first day of his freshman registration, he was accosted no less than ten times, both male and female, which made him cry and laugh.

And Coach Jim also officially introduced the two of them to the Syracuse University Orange People basketball team after daily basketball practice.

"This is Tang from China, 18 years old, who plays point guard and shooting guard, which I think you've seen before. This is a super small forward from Iowa State University, Wesley Johnson, and I think you're probably familiar with it. ”

"Welcome, warm welcome!" Andy Rustin was the first to applaud, and immediately after him, the other players of the Orange People basketball team also applauded, some of them were impressed by Tang Wenlong, and some of them were basketball players who had just been promoted this year, and they were newcomers themselves, curiously adding a large number of two.

Just after Tang Wenlong and Wesley Johnson returned to the team, Coach Jim continued: "There are still two months before the start of the NCAA Championship, and during this time, I think we need to develop a richer training plan for the new season and do a good job. Do you have faith? ”

"Yes!" The whole team roared.

Syracuse University is part of the Great East Conference and has competed in the NCAA Tournament 34 times, reaching the top 10 of the national four times and winning the NCAA National Championship once, which was Anthony's time. The ultimate goal for all college players is to qualify for the Round of 64 tournament next March, which means qualifying for March Madness and ultimately lifting the national championship. To qualify, one of them is to be selected by the NCAA's official selection committee next year, which is also a common way for Syracuse University to enter the tournament before; The second is that the team that becomes the champion of their respective league automatically qualifies.

It would obviously be more glorious to become a champion and enter the tournament, and Tang Wenlong's primary goal at the moment is to dominate the Great East Conference.

However, there are many strong teams in the Big East League, which can be called the strongest regional league in the NCAA, and since 06, it has maintained the record of at least eight teams entering the NCAA Crazy March for four consecutive years, which shows the strength of the team.

It is worth mentioning that last year, under the leadership of the school's super point guard Jonny Flynn, the Orange People basketball team reached the finals of the Great East Conference Championship, and although they lost 66-76 to the University of Louisville Cardinals, it proved that the team is among the top players in the Great East Conference. Now, Jonny Flynn was picked by the Timberwolves with the fifth pick in this year's NBA draft, and many players on the team have also entered the professional league, and their strength has dropped significantly.

Therefore, before the friendly match with the Georgetown University Marvel Team began, the tabloid media in both regions were not optimistic about Syracuse University, which has a home field advantage, believing that Georgetown University's star inside line Greg Monroe will easily lead the team to victory over Syracuse, which has greatly decreased in strength.

To Tang Wenlong's surprise, such an ordinary friendly match would have attracted nearly 1,000 spectators from Syracuse University, and if it weren't for the limited facilities in the stadium, I am afraid that more students would have poured in. Even so, Tang Wenlong still felt a different basketball atmosphere from Syracuse.

He enjoys the atmosphere a lot, and he likes to play in places where basketball has a strong atmosphere.

"This is the new player recruited by the team this year, it seems to be an Asian American, and he looks like he is only 15 years old."

"Yes, you see his thin arms and legs, I really don't know how strong his strength is, so that the school can use the few invitations."

"Look, that's Wesley Johnson, who is known as having the same potential as Cameron, God, another skinny monkey!"

"I think our school is going to hang this year, so I recruited so many rotten sweet potatoes and rotten eggs, how can I compare with Kangda and Duke? I'm afraid that Georgetown University will not be able to win today! ”

For a while, Tang Wenlong and Wesley Johnson, who were doing warm-up training on the field, pointed at Tang Wenlong and Wesley Johnson, Wesley Johnson was a little better, after all, he had proven his strength at Iowa State University in the first two years of college, but Tang Wenlong, a player who suddenly appeared, was a little unrecognized, and there were even some boos in the crowd.

"Don't care, Don." Wesley Johnson looked at Tang Wenlong and said with some concern.

"I'm fine." Tang Wenlong shook his head, his face calm, "This is a very normal thing, after all, I haven't scored any results yet." ”

Coach Jim lined up today's starting lineup.

Point Guard: Raymond, Shooting Guard: Andy Rawstin, Small Forward: Wesley Johnson, Power Forward: Anderson, Center: Black.

Tang Wenlong was still on the bench, in fact, this was the first time he played as a substitute, he sat on the bench, behind him was a student from Syracuse University who poked him in the back and pointed at him. Now that his English has improved, he can understand most of the words, which makes him feel a little like pins and needles.

From the start of the game, the Syracuse University Orange People basketball team was on the back foot, and since Monroe won the jump, he began to play his huge lethality on the inside. Few big men at his age have such solid fundamentals and low-post skills, and he's led Georgetown to a brilliant offensive game. Obviously, the team is mostly a new combination, and the team is not running in enough, and there are even low-level mistakes in passing the ball to the audience.

"Greg Monroe!" Tang Wenlong whispered this name in his mouth, firmly remembering his appearance, this is the strongest opponent he has ever seen since he came to the United States, the giant spirit god-like figure makes him look a lot stronger than his peers, like an optimus pillar, standing under the basket, the Syracuse University players can't do anything about him.

The rules of basketball in the NCAA are different from those in the NBA and the international men's basketball games. The game is divided into two halves, and then 20 minutes each, each attack time is 35 seconds, and the ball needs to be advanced through the half court 10 seconds after the baseline serve. If the cumulative fouls in the second half reach 7, starting from the 7th ordinary foul, the team will get 1+1 free throw opportunities, and if the first goal is scored, the second free throw can be continued, and if the foul reaches more than 10 times, the team will get two free throw opportunities.

In order to deal with Monroe, Syracuse University paid seven fouls early, and the situation became more and more unfavorable.

Coach Jim had a sad face, although Georgetown University is not bad in the Great East Side, it is not a top team, if it is difficult to beat them, then how can the team attack the national championship? He glanced around the bench on the bench, and finally fixed on Tang Wenlong's body, and at this moment Tang Wenlong also looked at Coach Jim with urgent eyes, revealing a strong battle **.

"Don, get ready, it's time for you to play."

"Good coach!" Tang Wenlong immediately stood up from the bench and high-fived his teammates beside him, "Look at my performance!" ”

Tang Wenlong stood up from the bench and attracted the attention of others.

"Behold, that boy with no hair has grown up!"

"Is Coach Jim going to replace him? Oh my God, is the coach going to give up this game? We still have a second half to fight back! ”

"Where did he play?" There are also some people who are looking forward to Tang Wenlong's play, and they think that this is a hidden trump card of Coach Jim.

"I think I'm talking about point guards!" "How do I feel like he's taller than Andy, is it really appropriate to play point guard? Are you sure you're not a shooting guard or a small forward? ”

In the midst of everyone's discussions, Tang Wenlong walked on the court wearing the No. 9 jersey, the reason why he chose No. 9 is because 9 represents the extreme, in ancient China, 9 will be considered the imaginary number of the sun, such as nine cows and a dime, nine deaths, etc., Tang Wenlong also prefers the number 9, so this time, he chose 9 as the number of his new path in life.

"You're finally here!" Wesley Johnson said excitedly that for his teammate, he felt his horror most deeply, and when he saw him play, his heart swelled with excitement, and the whole person's mental state was lifted!

Tang Wenlong smiled, and after high-fives with Wesley Johnson, he walked to the baseline and prepared to tee off
