Chapter 1 Iron Gate from China

Unlike the NBA, media giants like ESPN and TNT don't cover NCAA games, especially since this was just a very ordinary regular season game within the entire NCAA league.

However, they have their own media circle. The University of Connecticut, for example, has its own campus media.

Don't underestimate it. In the hearts of UConn fans, its status is even higher than ESPN.

In addition to that, some local media and some official NCAA media will also report on the games.

Tang Tian's name almost uniformly appeared in the most prominent position on the front page headlines.

"The iron gate from China, Tang Tian, locks down Jimmy Butler, securing a crucial victory for UConn!"

"UConn's defense is changed by one person. A small figure plays a big role. Tonight, let us cheer for Tang Tian!"

"Before tonight, no one knew his name, but after tonight, everyone knows him. Tang Tian, a magical newcomer from across the ocean!"

...

Overnight, Tang Tian went from an unknown ball boy to an instant hero in the eyes of UConn fans.

Especially since he was a yellow-skinned Chinese, it made him even more memorable.

This was truly overnight fame.

However, Tang Tian himself didn't care too much.

Putting aside the fact that he had experienced great storms in his previous life, he had only played one good game, and a scoreless one at that. There was really nothing to be proud of.

Games and training were essential, and naturally, he had to maintain relationships with his roommates.

This day was a weekend, and the group went to Yale University together.

They were all freshmen at UConn, and hadn't visited all the attractions in Connecticut yet.

Founded in 1701, Yale University has a history of over 300 years. It is the most well-known attraction in Connecticut, and a must-visit for UConn students.

Soaring towers, castle-like buildings, carvings exuding a heavy historical atmosphere, Yale University is not just a university, but a mark left by the passage of the long river of history.

Walking on campus feels like going back a hundred years.

In his previous life, Tang Tian had been wandering around big cities like Los Angeles and New York. Yale University was his first time visiting.

Like his roommates, his eyes were drawn to these buildings, and he couldn't help but take photos to commemorate the beautiful scenery he saw.

They were admiring the scenery, but unknowingly became part of someone else's scenery.

Many people cast curious and puzzled glances at him.

A height of two meters isn't common on campus, not to mention that he was somewhat famous in Connecticut now. Those students wanted to recognize him but weren't sure, so they could only look at him from afar as part of the scenery.

"Tang, there's a really hot girl over there looking at you. Do you want to go say hi?" His roommate's eyes were full of envy.

"You go if you want, I'm not interested." Tang Tian had more experience in his previous life than all of these people combined. Ordinary women really couldn't pique his interest.

"Tch, if you're too scared just say so, look at you acting all pure and refined!"

...

While taking pictures and chatting, they arrived at Yale University's most famous library.

As one of the largest research libraries in the United States, it has more than eleven million books. There are three libraries on campus just for storing books. They had arrived at the Sterling Memorial Library, which was the largest of them.

The group had different interests, and they separated after entering the library.

Tang Tian was just wandering around. He had spent most of his previous life studying basketball tactics, so it was a rare opportunity to have time to read other books.

Standing in front of a bookshelf, reaching out to take down a book about the stories of Hollywood actors, he suddenly felt someone else reaching for it from the other side.

It was just a coincidence.

He let go, and the book was taken by the person on the other side.

Through the gap left by the removal, he saw a woman's face.

The face was beautiful, but not in an ordinary way.

Especially those green eyes, which gave off a strong exotic and magical vibe.

The woman gave him a smile after seeing him, probably to thank him for his "leniency."

However, when Tang Tian saw that smiling face, he suddenly remembered who it was.

Elizabeth Olsen, the Scarlet Witch from Marvel.

He didn't expect to meet her here!

But thinking about it, it seemed normal. Olsen was a late-blooming actress who didn't start in her first movie until she was 21, and didn't gain global fame until she was 24 when she starred in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie.

It was 2010 now, and she probably hadn't even started acting yet, or, judging from the book she chose, she was on her way to acting.

Olsen disappeared from Tang Tian's sight after smiling.

Tang Tian didn't chase after her.

Seeing Olsen was just a bit of a surprise, but an accident is just an accident if nothing happens after it passes.

After spending about two hours in the library, he realized that his phone had turned off at some point.

Once he got his scholarship, he really needed to replace this broken phone.

He turned it back on and found missed calls and messages from his roommates, saying that they couldn't reach him, waited for half an hour and didn't see him come out, so they went back first.

He sent them a text message back and then left the campus directly.

UConn is in Storrs, in the city of Mansfield, which is more than two hours' drive from New Haven, where Yale University is located. He had to take the subway to the bus station now.

The subway here was much better than those in China, and it was afternoon, so there were even fewer people.

He stood on the platform waiting, when the TV next to him was broadcasting NCAA game reports.

"In a highly anticipated game yesterday, the University of Connecticut Huskies defeated the visiting Marquette University Golden Eagles 73-61. Third-year player Kemba Walker scored a game-high 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists. It is worth mentioning that Tang Tian, a Chinese NCAA newcomer, played a key role in the game. Marquette University's core player Jimmy Butler only made 1 of 15 shots under his defense, and scored only 14 points on 5 of 20 shooting..."

While the TV was broadcasting, it also included some highlights of the game and photo illustrations.

In addition to Walker, there were also some of Tang Tian.

Seeing his own news appear in front of him was a rather strange experience.

He couldn't help but smile.

"Sister, he looks like that person on TV!" Just as he was smiling, he suddenly heard a little girl's voice.

He turned his head curiously, and saw a little girl of about eight or nine years old looking at him with curiosity.

He smiled and greeted the little girl, and the little girl also smiled and waved at him.

It was then that he noticed there was someone else standing next to the little girl.

He looked up, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

Elizabeth Olsen?

What a coincidence? Meeting her twice in one day?
