Chapter 83 The Morris Brothers

Kahong humbly asked for advice, and Tang Tian also hoped that Kangda could go further, and there was no reason not to say it.

"I think Shabaz can play the starting No. 2 position." Tang Tian said.

"Dual point guard?" Kahong was a little surprised by Tang Tian's proposal.

"Well, North Carolina likes to rush for offensive rebounds, which means that their formation on the field is pressing forward. It's good that this style of play can grab offensive rebounds. Playing double point guards, we can launch a defensive counterattack as soon as possible." Tang Tian continued.

Kahon was silent for a moment, then suddenly slapped the table.

"Yeah! Why didn't I think of it!" Kahon felt that he had been coaching in the NCAA for 40 years, and he couldn't think of such a simple solution.

Tang Tian didn't laugh, Kahun is actually not bad, but there are still differences between the NCAA and the NBA. The NCAA's lineup changes a lot every year, and teams from different leagues may play in a tournament once a year. Not as good as the NBA.

He has coached for more than 20 years in his previous life. Although the time is not as good as that of Kahun, his skill in targeting tactics is much deeper than that of Kahun.

"Tang, you are really a coach." In addition to being excited, Kahon looked at Tang Tian with a little excitement.

"I just liked to read some books related to basketball tactics since I was a child." Tang Tian explained casually.

In fact, if he wants to, he can go to the NBA to apply for a coach and become the new basketball godfather.

It's just a life that has been lived once, and it would be too boring to do it again.

On the contrary, the experience in the University of Concord this year made him like the feeling of being a player, and it also inspired his love for basketball as a player.

Kahun nodded with a smile, but he didn't ask any further questions. Tang Tian had too many doubts. If he really went deeper into each one, he was afraid that he would become Sherlock Holmes.

Tang Tian provided Kahun with new tactical ideas, and Kahun soon began to implement them in training sessions.

I can feel the players are a little excited.

After several rounds of competition, the confidence of the players has greatly increased. Although they know that there is still a certain gap between the team's strength and North Carolina, it is not as big as expected. This targeted tactic is like adding a big weight to the balance of victory. , it will definitely bring a big surprise to North Carolina.

The tactical ideas provided by Tang Tian have two cores: one is to protect the defensive rebounds that Kahon mentioned before, and the other is to launch a defensive counterattack.

The connection is to give the ball to the defender as soon as possible after the inside line is protected by the defensive rebound, and then the defender will launch a counterattack as soon as possible.

Auriarch is tall, which gives him enough passing vision. Walker and Napier are fast, and the counterattack can advance to the frontcourt at the first time.

So this tactic is completely feasible for Kangda.

After two days of training, because the tactics are relatively simple, the players have basically mastered it.

Now they can't wait to play North Carolina.

On race day, Olsen was back in a new Maserati Quattroporte to deliver the cake.

Tang Tian smiled bitterly in his heart when he saw the car.

Is there a mine in Olsen's house? A supercar in a city.

This time the cake is different from the last time, the last time it was cheese, this time it was Viennese chocolate almond.

Compared with the last time, she was obviously more prepared and more attentive this time.

The delicious milk chocolate slowly melts on the tongue with the sweet almond flavor. The crushed almonds in the cake are full of taste, and are released with the fragrance of cocoa, which is perfectly and delicately left in the mouth.

Tang Tian ate a piece and really felt that Olsen was simply a top cake maker.

While he felt delicious, he became more and more curious about her family's reasons for not eating such delicious food.

When returning to the hotel with the cake this time, Walker couldn't help but eat a piece.

"Let's go to the supermarket, otherwise I will definitely finish your cake." Walker said after swallowing.

There is a supermarket near the hotel, and they happened to go to buy something to eat.

Walker wanted to buy one at random, but he didn't expect that Vienna chocolate almond cake was also sold in the supermarket. He was delighted and bought it directly.

Now he can eat cake with Tang Tian on the field.

The two went shopping in the supermarket and bought some other food, but when they were walking towards the cashier, they unexpectedly saw two tall figures, and they looked almost exactly the same.

The same face, the same stubborn beard, the same flat head, the same height, and even the same tattoos.

Apparently these are twins.

"Brother Morris." Walker said after seeing it.

Tang Tian nodded.

The Morris brothers, the absolute core of the University of Kansas this year, the older brother Markieff Morris is 2.08 meters tall and plays as a power forward, focusing on low-post offense and mid-range, while his younger brother, Marcus Morris, plays a small forward and plays in the long distance. Shooting from distance.

Both of them are both offensive and defensive, especially the younger brother Marcus, who averaged 17.2 points and 7.6 rebounds per game in the season, was selected to the All-American Second Team, and ranked first in the previous media's small forward strength rankings.

Morris brother Tang Tian also knew in his previous life that even in the NBA, he is a player with starting strength.

As the No. 2 seed in the West Division, Kansas, in addition to the Morris brothers, also has talented freshman Thomas Robinson, as well as NBA talent Jeff Weshy, Josh Selby, Taishaun Taylor and others.

Although their strength this year is not as good as Duke and North Carolina, they are definitely second only to them.

If there are no surprises, they will advance to the Elite Eight, and will also be the opponents of UConn or North Carolina in the Western Conference finals.

"Let's go say hello," Walker said.

Although it is a potential opponent, it is still necessary to say hello when you see it.

"You can tell them apart?" Tang Tian asked.

"...It doesn't seem to be possible." Walker thought for a while and said.

"Then how did you say hello in the past, is it Marcus? Or is it Markieff? It's not polite for you to call Maurice directly?" Tang Tian said with a smile.

Walker nodded after listening, as if it made sense.

"Hey, Kemba." Not long after Tang Tian and Walker spoke, the Morris brothers over there discovered them first and came directly to say hello.

"Hey..." Walker didn't know what to say now.

"Hey, I'm Tang." Tang Tian said with a smile, reaching out to one of them.

"Marcus." Marcus Morris reached out to Tang Tian with a smile.

"Markieff, I know you, you defended Derek Williams before, your defense is very strong." Markieff Morris then reached out to Tang Tian and said.

Seeing Tang Tian and the two shaking hands one after another, Walker suddenly felt a little silly.
