Chapter 57: Madison Square Garden
More than ten minutes later, Tang Tian came out of the bathroom.
The white girl followed him with a wicked smile on her face.
The environment in the bathroom is stimulating, and his body is also a chick, and the scene was a little embarrassing for a while.
He returned to his seat, only to find that Walker was already sitting there, and that the black girl was gone.
He took the white girl away, walked over to Walker and sat down, and couldn't help asking, "Are you alright?" ”
He didn't expect Walker to be faster than him, were they competing for speed?
"No, I didn't go in."
“……”
"Haha." Tang Tian couldn't help laughing, Walker was still cowardly in the end.
However, he can completely understand that if it were a previous life, he would not be so open when he first went to a nightclub.
"Do you want me to find another white girl to try for you?" Tang Tian said.
"Forget it, let's go back, the old man will probably know later." Walker wanted to go.
"Okay, then you can keep it for now, and then use it after you win the championship." Tang Tian said with a smile.
Not long after the two returned from the nightclub, Cajon came to the room to look for them, and he really stepped on it.
"Kemba, do you want to play as a substitute in this game?"
Walker has been up and down since returning to the starting line-up because of his adjustments, and it has only recently stabilized a little, but because of his poor performance at home to St. John's University, Cajon is worried that his mentality will be affected, after all, this is about to play the league championship game.
"No, old man, I'm fine." Walker knew that Cajon was for his good, but after more than half a month, he had almost adjusted his power habits.
"Yes, coach, Kemba is completely fine, he deliberately holds back his strength and wants to prove himself on the court." Tang Tian also said with a smile.
Walker glanced at Tang Tian, Tang Tian was ridiculing his performance in the nightclub.
Of course, Cajon didn't know what it meant, and when he saw that Tang Tian said this, he also nodded.
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much, it doesn't ......matter if you win or lose a game or even your performance," Cajon likes the old-school coach's preaching, and is now inducing Walker to enlighten his heart step by step.
Tang Tian felt his eyelids doze off a little when he heard this, and finally managed to hold on until Cajon left, said hello to Walker and fell asleep directly.
On the afternoon of the second day, the UConn and St. John's games were played at the Madison Square Garden Arena.
Madison Square Garden, the "Mecca of Basketball" and home of the New York Knicks, is one of the most recognizable arenas in the NBA.
St. John's University, located in Queens, has always been home to it, and the popularity of the site is quite high.
New Yorkers have money, and whether it's the NBA or the NCAA, or the team's record, the stadium is always full.
Tang Tian and Walker followed the team into the entrance, looking at the two NBA championship flags hanging above their heads and many retired jerseys, their hearts inevitably fluctuated.
Walker's eyes are yearning for the NBA and victory, while Tang Tian is more of a memory.
But there is also a common feeling between the two that this will be the venue of the 2011 NBA Draft, and they will be sitting together in the audience, waiting for the NBA to call.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome our Red Storm members with the warmest voices possible." The live DJ shouted out loud pitches.
The shouts of the DJs also brought their minds back to the stadium for a while.
Tang Tian and Walker glanced at each other, and then nodded in unison.
In this game, they will definitely win it.
With an NBA-level arena, it is natural to use an NBA-level opening ceremony.
The visitors' UConn were introduced first, followed by the home team, St. John's University.
Every player was introduced to the field, and the scene resounded with a sea of cheers.
This St. John's team doesn't have the kind of players who are outstanding enough to stabilize the NBA, but there are still top-notch players.
Henry Johnson, a 2.06-meter black big center, 120 kilograms, averaged 14.6 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game in the previous game, and is also an inside beast, with a strong physique, able to attack and defend, and previously cut a 20+10 big double-double against Kangda, which is a weakened version of Greg Monroe who can't pass the ball.
Ron Conley, a 1.90-meter black point guard, is a head taller than Walker, he can contribute 10.6 points, 6.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game, with outstanding assist ability, and his defensive ability is also above the league level.
Joan Diesel, a 2.06-meter white power forward, has a stable mid-range, averaging 11.2 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, with a shooting rate of more than 51%, and Tang Tian is also a player who relies on ball quotients.
These three people are basically the core of St. John's University.
'We lost our home stadium and now it's time to get them back.' Ollie raised his voice before the game and shouted to the gathered players.
"Connecticut Huskies!"
One by one, the team members folded their hands together and shouted.
This game is not only Walker, but all the players of UConn are desperate to win back.
At the end of the pre-match warm-up, the starting players of both teams followed suit.
Johnson jumped over Oriage to get the ball back into the home half.
The scene was thunderous with cheers.
The stadium is not as big or as the stadiums, but the sound is much better, and the cheers feel overwhelming.
Conley controlled the ball to the front court, and St. John's tactical run in the front court.
After a succession of tactical blocks, the ball passed into Diesel's hands.
Diesel knew that he couldn't beat Tang Tian, so he directly passed inside and hoisted the ball into Johnson's hands under the basket.
Johnson was also quick to react after getting the ball, directly facing Oriage's turnaround hook.
Oriage's outstretched hand interfered.
"Bang!"
The ball went wide of the basket with interference, but Johnson was athletic, holding Oriage down and grabbing an offensive rebound.
This time he opted to wipe the board after the hit, and the ball rolled twice on the basket before falling into the net.
This is the standard traditional center's style of play, and the fight is about physical confrontation and feel.
As soon as Johnson entered, the scene erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and the momentum was monstrous.
The Mecca of basketball is a mecca that lives up to its name, and even a superstar like Kobe Bryant is proud to be able to score high marks in this historic arena.
UConn's offense, St. John's University obviously focused on Walker and Tang Tian, Walker passed the ball to Lamb, Lamb made a beautiful change of direction to shake off the defender who defended him, and then jumped to avoid Diesel who was making up for the defense and threw a shot.
However, he underestimated Johnson's bounce, who jumped up and slapped him back.
The scene was blown up directly.
A strong attack under the basket, a bloody attack, Johnson opened the game in extremely hot form.
The "Mecca of Basketball" seems to have a magical power.
