Chapter 83 The Morris Brothers

Kahon humbly asked for advice, and Tang Tian also hoped that Kang Da would go further, and there was no reason not to say it.

"I think Shabaz can play the second starting position." Tang Tian said.

"Double point guard?" Kahon was a little surprised by Tang Tian's proposal.

"Well, North Carolina likes to grab frontcourt rebounds, which means that their formation on the court is pressed towards the frontcourt. It's okay to be able to grab offensive rebounds in this way. If you can't grab it, retreating will definitely be a problem. We can launch a defensive counterattack as soon as possible when playing as a double point guard." Tang Tian continued.

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

"Yes! Why didn't I expect it!" Kahon felt that his NCAA coaching for the past 40 years was in vain, and he could not even think of such a simple cracking method.

Tang Tian didn't laugh. Kahon was actually not bad, but there was still a difference between the NCAA and the NBA. The NCAA's lineup changes greatly every year, and teams from different leagues may face the championship once a year, so the research on opponents and targeting them is far inferior to the NBA.

He coached for more than 20 years in his previous life. Although he was not as good as Kahon in terms of time, his skills in tactics were much deeper than Kahon.

"Tang, you are such a coach." While excited, Kahon looked at Tang Tian with a little excitement.

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

In fact, if he wants, he can apply for a job as a coach in the NBA and then become the new basketball godfather.

It’s just that I’ve lived once, and it’s too boring to do it again.

On the contrary, his experience at Kangda this year made him fall in love with the feeling of being a player and also inspired his love for basketball as a player.

Kahon nodded with a smile, and he didn't ask much. Tang Tian had too many doubts. If he really went deeper, he would probably become Sherlock Holmes.

Tang Tian provided Kahon with new tactical ideas, and Kahon soon began to implement it in training classes.

I could feel that the players seemed a little excited.

After several rounds of games, the players' confidence increased greatly. Although they knew that the team's strength was still a certain gap with North Carolina, they were not as big as they imagined. This targeted tactic is like adding a large weight to the victory balance, which will definitely bring a big surprise to North Carolina.

There are two core tactical ideas provided by Tang Tian: one is the protective defensive rebound that Kahon mentioned before, and the other is to launch a defensive counterattack.

Connecting it means that after the inside line defends the rebound under protection, the ball should be given to the defender as soon as possible, and the defender will launch a counterattack as soon as possible.

Ori Archie is tall, which gives him enough pass vision. Walker and Napier are fast, and counterattacks can advance to the frontcourt at the first time.

So this tactic is completely feasible for Kangda.

After two days of training, the players basically mastered the tactics because they were relatively simple.

Now they can't wait to play in North Carolina.

On the day of the competition, Olsen drove a new Maserati Quattroporte to deliver cakes.

Tang Tian smiled bitterly when he saw the car.

Is there a mine in Olson's family? One city has a supercar.

The cake this time is different from the last time. The last time was cheese, and this time was Vienna chocolate almonds.

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

The delicious milk chocolate slowly melts on the tip of the tongue with the sweet almond flavor. The broken almonds in the cake are full of taste and are released with the slightest cocoa fragrance, leaving perfectly and delicately in the mouth.

Tang Tian ate a piece and really thought Olson was simply a top cake maker.

While he was feeling that he was delicious, he became more and more curious about why her family did not eat such delicious food.

When I returned 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 finish your cake." Walker swallowed after eating.

There is a supermarket near the hotel, and they also happen to buy some food.

Walker originally wanted to buy it casually, but he didn't expect that there was Vienna chocolate almond cake in the supermarket. He looked happy and bought it directly.

This time he can eat cake with Tang Tian on the court.

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

The same face, the same slack beard, the same buzz cut, the same height, and even the tattoo on the body are exactly the same.

It's obvious that 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, are 2.08 meters tall and play power forwards, mainly with low post offense and mid-range distance, while the younger brother Marcus Morris plays small forwards, mainly with mid-range and long-range shooting.

Both of them have both offense and defense, especially their younger brother Marcus, who averaged 17.2 points and 7.6 rebounds per game in the season, was selected as the second team of the All-American team, ranking first in the media's previous small forward strength rankings.

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

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

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

If there is no accident, they will advance to the Elite Eight and will be opponents of Kangda or North Carolina in the Western Conference Finals.

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

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

"Can you tell them clearly?" Tang Tian asked.

"...It seems that I can't." Walker thought for a while and said.

"Then why did you say hello to me in the past? Is it Hey Marcus? Or Hi Markieff? Is it rude for you to call him Morris directly?" Tang Tian said with a smile.

Walker nodded after hearing this, and it seemed to make sense.

"Hey, Kemba." Shortly after Tang Tian talked to Walker, the Morris brothers found them first and came directly to say hello.

"Hey..." Walker had no idea what to say at this moment.

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

"Marcus." Marcus Morris smiled and reached out to Tang Tian.

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

Seeing Tang Tian shook hands with the two of them one after another, Walker suddenly felt a little stupid.
