Chapter 39 - A strong heart
He walked in the hospital for only one day, wrapped in a protective gear the next day, and returned to the Kangda training hall in a wheelchair.
I saw his teammates exaggerate when they appeared, all shocked.
I can clearly feel that the appearance of Walker is a great boost to the team’s morale.
“I look at you, but don’t lose me!” Walker shouted at the teammates in a wheelchair and laughed.
笑 His face is full of smiles, and the players are working harder when training on the court.
四 After four days of training, UConn played at home at the University of Louisville.
Walker was absent, and UCon’s main point of attack became Lamb. However, Lamb appeared a bit unsuitable after the opening. Tang Tian blocked him, but he failed to hit consecutive jumpers. There was even a ball that almost came close. Three do not stick.
This is not strength, but a mentality problem.
In the second half, Lamb scored only 6 points on 2 of 10 shots, and the UConn trailed opponents by 27 to 41.
In the second half, Kahun adjusted his strategy and focused on the offense of Tang Tian and Napier.
Tang Tian’s three-pointer position still provided a lot of offensive space for Kangda, but Napier was two stops behind Walker, and failed to end several times.
I was forced to the end. Ka Hong could only rely on new tactics to let Tang Tian make a three-pointer. After Tang Tian made two shots, he was focused on defense and the Kangda offense was paralyzed.
In the end, Kangda defeated his opponent again at 56 to 71 at home, and his ten-game winning streak was ended.
Lamb’s performance was exceptionally poor, only 4 of 16 shots in the field, barely doubled by scoring free throws, and also made up to 4 turnovers.
This performance obviously did not meet the expectations of the team.
Losing the ball made the team’s atmosphere a bit depressing. The usual laughter disappeared during the training class. Only the muffled sound of basketball and the floor crashed.
“Do n’t you lose? Are you so upset? I have n’t played Louisville when I was n’t hurt. It ’s really nothing to shame. We are second in the league and cheer up.” Walker still smiled and was present. Shouted at the team.
His encouragement worked, and his teammates gradually recovered their emotions.
After a 23-day break, the team went away to challenge the University of Cincinnati.
Walker took a cane and went with the team.
之后 After the game started, Tang Tian’s open three-pointer and Napier’s breakthrough made Kangda a fantastic start.
But when the game was playing, Kangda had some firepower.
In the end, they also lost the game 52 to 63 and suffered a two-game losing streak.
Lamb is still underperforming, 6 of 20 shots, only 15 points to account.
After the game, Cahon pulled Ollie and Walker for a while. Obviously, the continuous play disorder caused him to lose some confidence in Lamb.
“Coach, he is talented, it just takes time to adapt, and no one is born a leader.” Walker said with a smile.
Walker’s words finally convinced Kahun.
Back to the training session at UConn, Walker also took Lam to chat for a while.
After chatting, he continued to smile and shouted to cheer up his teammates.
He waited until the training was over and the team members had left one after another before he was ready to leave.
Before Tang Tian left, he went to the locker room and returned to the training hall.
When he went in, he saw Walker’s face without a smile, but looked frustrated instead.
“Kenba.” Tang Tian shouted.
“Don? Haven’t you left yet?” Walker barely smiled when he saw Tang Tian coming.
“Sit.” Tang Tian saw Walker about to get up and motioned him to stay still.
“How is your injury recovering?” Tang Tian stepped beside him and sat down.
就 “That’s it, I thought I could recover faster than expected, but it still looks like a doctor is more professional.” Walker grinned wryly.
“It’s almost as good news as expected, things like injuries can’t be anxious.” Tang Tian said.
“It’s hard to worry about the current situation of the team.” Walker said reluctantly, he and Tang Tian were very familiar, and at this time also showed their true heart.
“It’s really not easy for you.” Tang Tian said and patted his shoulder.
Whether the team lost or Lam did not perform well, Walker always smiled in front of his teammates and gave positive encouragement.
虽然 Although he is only 1.85 meters tall, you can feel that he has a strong heart.
“If I’m all discouraged, this team may really be over.” Walker said with a grin.
“It will be okay. After this month, we can play the championship game in the top eight. Anyway, those teams in the league must play, and they are almost the same after playing first.” Tang Tian comforted.
Walker nodded.
“You say Jeremy, what went wrong with him, I can feel that he is not a matter of attitude, just simply not playing well.” He then said.
“He’s a little nervous.” Tang Tian pointed to his chest ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Also, I can feel the helplessness of the old man, he dare not speak too plainly, if Jeremy’s mentality collapses If you drop it, it’s not just about this month. Walker said, shaking his head.
“I think he may need some external stimulus.” Tang Tian said differently.
“Huh?” Walker looked at him puzzled.
“You remember when Jeremy was playing, he struggled a bit. I remember playing Marquette. He let go after he scored 2 + 1, so I think he needs something to detonate Just a click of his heart will be effective. “Tang Tian used a description.
“What if it explodes?” Walker probably understood what Tang Tian said, which was to change the rough way.
“What’s the difference between this situation and not being bombed? I can feel that the coach has a little distrust in him.” Tang Tian replied.
Walker nodded. After the game, if it wasn’t for him to speak, Kahun might have put Lam on the bench to reflect on it.
“How explosive?” Walker then asked, apparently he agreed with Tang Tian.
这样 “This way …” Tang Tian said his thoughts again.
“It’s so hard? Would you like to say hello to the old man?” Walker said with some worry after listening.
“If I could have said it earlier, do you think it would be possible for the coach to agree?” Tang Tian asked.
Walker thought about it and shook his head.
“Let’s just talk about it after the next game and see if the ones I talked to him have no effect.” He continued.
Tang Tian nodded his head. What he was going to do also needed an explosion point, and it was indeed a bit risky. If Lam finished the game, there was no need to take such a risk.
