There is no upper limit to the NCAA's roster, and Tang Tian's addition has little impact on the team, but it has changed a lot for him.

He doesn't have to pick up the ball like he used to, but he trains with the team and runs tactics.

He was originally a coach, and he was very quick to learn these tactics, and he could even help recruits get familiar with the tactics.

Cajon was satisfied, and Ollie gradually changed his opinion of him.

Time flies, in a blink of an eye, in November, the regular season of the NCAA2010~2011 season officially began.

In the past two months, UConn has undergone a lot of changes, the team's substitute power forward Lavoy Allen applied for a transfer and transferred to Marquette University next door to assist Jimmy Butler, and the team also added two newcomers with scholarships, one is 1.96 meters tall small forward Rosec Smith, and the other is 2.11 meters big forward Tyler Olland, both of whom are leftovers from other teams and have limited strength.

In other words, the team's strength has not increased but decreased in the past two months, and the prospects for the new season are becoming more and more worrying.

On Nov. 13, the team welcomed its first opponent, the University of Louisville.

The University of Louisville is a powerhouse in the Great East Division and made it to the final four of the NCAA Tournament last year.

It's going to be a tough game.

Walker was heavily guarded after the game began, and Lamb became the team's main point of attack, but he looked uncomfortable in his NCAA debut, hitting none of his first three shots, and the University of Louisville quickly pulled away and led by 11 points at 38-27 at the end of the first half.

Entering the second half, Cajon began to set up various one-on-one tactics for Walker, and Walker also began to shoot inside and outside to score frequently.

However, at the critical moment, Corn's defense was problematic, Oriage was frequently misplaced by the opposing defenders, and Walker's score could not keep up with the team's loss of points, and by the fifteen minutes or so of the second half, they were close to 20 points behind.

This is the end of the game.

In the end, despite Walker's 25 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists on 9-of-22 shooting, Kangda still lost 61-81 at home.

After a heavy defeat in the first game, head coach Cajon felt unprecedented pressure.

After a five-day break, UConn continued to host DePaul University, a team underdog in the Great East League, and UConn finally got its first win of the season.

76 to 70, although it won, but the win is not glorious at all, especially for a weak team like DePaul University to score 70 points, the team's defense is really a bit ugly.

After a five-day break, the team traveled to Syracuse University (Syracuse University) and Georgetown University in quick succession, only to have a back-to-back defeat.

In the game against Georgetown, the opponent's core Greg Monroe blasted down 30 points and 21 rebounds with ultra-luxury data, which ravaged the inside line of Connectnate.

(Note: In the novel, Monroe decided to stay in school for an extra year because of an upset in the league championship game last season, which is different from the real world.) ）

Tang Tian has been with the team in all these games, but he is sitting at the bottom of the bench, and Cajon has never sent him to play.

The 1-3 start was the worst start for UConn in recent years.

Cajon encountered this situation in this retirement year, and it seems that he is going to lose his health, and he has even moved the idea of retiring early.

The team's results were not good, and the mood of the players in the training session was not high, as if a dark cloud hung over the stadium.

"Old man, do you want to try Tang?" At the end of the day's training session, Ollie approached Cajon alone and suggested.

Cajon didn't speak.

Tang Tian has been training with the team for so long, and he also has a similar understanding of the strength of this caddy.

The defense is very good, the ball quotient is also very high, and the tactics can be understood at a glance, but in addition to these characteristics, other aspects, including shooting, passing, etc., are all at the level of amateur players, and they are not even up to the requirements of NCAA players.

Putting him on the field is equivalent to 4 to 5 when attacking on the field.

That's why Cajon hasn't played him all along.

"Let's see." Cajon can only watch while playing.

On 25 November, UConn host tough rivals Marquette University in their final game of November.

Marquette University is not an NCAA powerhouse, but it has also produced NBA superstars like Wade, and this season the team is led by senior Jimmy Butler, who averaged 16.5 points, 6 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game in the first four games of the season, and is all-round offensive and defensive.

In addition to Butler, Lavoy Allen, who transferred to the school, was reused by the coach and also averaged 11.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game.

Driven by the dual core, their current record is 3-1, which is just the opposite of Kangda's record.

This game is also particularly important for Kangda, not only related to the team's record, but also the transfer of Allen against the old master, if you lose again, it will give people a feeling that the tree is falling and the wall is falling and everyone is pushing.

Cajon felt the pressure before the game.

The atmosphere of the NCAA court is the best in the world, even better than the NBA, this is just an ordinary regular season, and the UConn XL Center, which can accommodate more than 16,000 people, is already full.

Fans held up various signs supporting the home team, and many people even tattooed the team logo of the Husky Dogs on their faces, chests, and even big bellies to express their fanatical support for the home team.

That's the NCAA.

The players of both teams were on the field for the final warm-up, and Cajon stood on the sidelines, his face serious, not knowing what was going on his mind.

After the warm-up, the starters on both sides came on one after another.

On the Marquette side, Butler and Allen both started the game, and although UConn has not been in good form recently, they don't dare to take it lightly when they play away.

UConnda's side is still in the regular lineup, with Kemba Walker and Jeromy Lamb on the outside, Rosec Smith and Tyler Olland on the front, and Oreaki in the center.

"Oooo

At the beginning of the game, there were fans beating drums, and along with the drums, the fans also shouted loudly for the home team.

"Come on! Connecticut! ”

To the cheers of the fans, Oriacchi flicked the ball back into the Kang half and the home team had the opportunity to attack first.

Walker carries the ball to the front court.

Like the opponents he has encountered before, Marquette University also knows that Walker is the goal of Connectn, and he will come up with a double attack.

Walker immediately distributed the ball into Lamb's hands, and Lamb caught it and shot from a three-point position.

"Bang!"

Three-point iron.

But Oriarchie used his height advantage to grab offensive rebounds.

Oriache hit the rim from close range, and Lavoy Allen straightened his hands and successfully interfered with his shot, and then collected the defensive rebound.

There was a stirring at the scene.

After the opening two good opportunities, Kangda failed to grasp them.

Marquette went up front and Butler held the ball and broke through Smith.

Kangda contracted the defense, and Holland wrapped it up to the basket.

Butler split the ball in the bag, and Allen received the ball and went straight to the mid-range jumper.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, the basketball hollow fell into the bag.

Marquette University takes the lead.
