Tang Tian was also thinking.

When he was a coach in the NBA in his previous life, he had many ways to defend against players like Williams who were neither fish nor fowl, but this was in the NCAA, just like in the NBA when you want to defend against James, that's a very difficult thing to do.

Especially now that he wasn't a coach, but a player.

Williams was able to beat out Barnes, a top prospect for the No. 1 pick, to rank No. 1 on the power forward strength list, and he had absolute strength. He would also be the most difficult opponent he had encountered since his rebirth.

The game had already reached the final few minutes, and the University of Arizona was leading by 20 points and had the victory in hand, and had already started to bring on substitutes to practice.

"Richard, I'm serious, you should have your agent think of a way to come to Dallas to play." With the game already decided, Terry was chatting with Jefferson at this time.

The NBA is a business league, but under this league, there are actually many other things, such as the fact that they both came from the University of Arizona, although not in the same class, but the alumni friendship still makes their relationship closer than that of their teammates.

"No, no, I can win a championship in San Antonio this year, I'm not going to Dallas." Jefferson said with a smile.

"Don't blame me if I knock you out in the playoffs then." Terry said with a big laugh.

"Then don't blame me either." Jefferson also laughed.

"By the way, are you coming the day after tomorrow?" Terry asked after laughing.

"Of course, there's no training at night, the game the day after tomorrow is very important, after that it will be against North Carolina." Jefferson nodded.

"Yes, I'll be there too." Terry also nodded with a smile.

As the two were talking, a long whistle came from the sidelines, and the game came to an end.

In the end, the University of Arizona easily defeated the University of Tennessee 81-61, successfully advancing to the national Round of 32.

Derrick Williams scored a huge double-double of 30 points and 10 rebounds, and his performance was incredibly explosive. Solomon Hill also had 15 points and 5 rebounds.

However, although Tennessee was defeated miserably, Harris' performance was remarkable, and he scored 25 points and 7 rebounds while matching up against Williams for most of the time.

"Tang, the next game won't be easy." Walker couldn't help but say after watching.

"That's a good thing." To Walker's surprise, Tang Tian's mood seemed relatively relaxed.

Walker was really puzzled this time. The opponent had been determined and was quite strong, and he didn't know whether Tang Tian's relaxed expression was deliberately shown to him, or whether he was really that relaxed.

"We still have to play North Carolina, isn't it good to warm up with Arizona in advance? If we played Tennessee, the intensity would suddenly go up, and our chances of winning would be even smaller." Tang Tian said with a smile.

Walker nodded seriously after listening.

Tang Tian was right, step by step, they could发挥 (fā huī - bring into play) their greatest strength. A sudden jump would indeed be more difficult to play.

Of course, if they really couldn't beat the University of Arizona, then there was no need to mention playing North Carolina.

After watching the game, Calhoun talked about the training plan for tomorrow, and then let the players go back to rest early.

Tang Tian had just returned to the hotel room with Walker when his phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was Olsen calling.

Counting up, the two of them hadn't been in contact for quite a while since they last saw a movie together.

Last time they separated, she said she had news about *Martha Marcy May Marlene* to tell him, could it be now?

Although the time was a little inappropriate, he still went to the bathroom to answer the phone.

"Congratulations, I saw your team won." When the call connected, Olsen unexpectedly didn't mention the movie, but first congratulated him.

Olsen wouldn't pay attention to the NCAA all the time. The congratulations a day later already showed that she was paying attention to Tang Tian.

"Thank you, aren't you asleep yet this late?"

"Preparing to, by the way, have you forgotten something?" Olsen's laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Forgotten... are you talking about the game tickets?" Tang Tian immediately remembered. After the two separated, his energy was all focused on earning money and the game, and he had indeed forgotten about it.

"It seems like I won't be able to see the game." Olsen said with some disappointment.

"I can, I definitely can, but I can't leave the team training, come find me on the day of the game." Tang Tian guaranteed. He would definitely do what he promised, this was a matter of principle.

"Okay, then I'll definitely come." Olsen promised with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Tian came out of the bathroom.

"Is that the sexy girl from last time?" Walker asked Tang Tian with a smile.

"Yeah, by the way, Kemba, didn't you say before that you had extra game tickets? Are they all given out?" Tang Tian nodded and asked.

"You want them? How many?" Walker had many relatives and friends, and he had prepared a lot, but he couldn't give too many.

"One, preferably one that's closer to the front."

"No problem, I'll bring it to you tomorrow." Walker said.

"Is it prepared for the sexy girl?" After speaking, Walker couldn't help but ask another question.

Seeing Tang Tian nod, he immediately had an envious expression.

Tang Tian smiled and didn't care. He and Olsen were actually just ordinary friends.

"Tang will start at small forward in the next game, and Taylor will start at power forward." Before the training session the next day, Calhoun announced a decision.

He made adjustments to the starting lineup, putting Tang Tian at small forward and replacing Smith with Oriakhi to start at power forward.

This adjustment should have been decided after his consideration last night.

Derrick Williams' shooting is much less of a threat compared to his breakthroughs. Using two big guys can limit him to the greatest extent. If Tang Tian is at small forward, he can also completely limit Solomon Hill.

Oriakhi was the team's starter before, and after a day of training, the team basically adapted.

One change that could be felt was that Calhoun had much more trust in Majok than before, and it seemed likely that he would continue to use him in the next game.

The game between the University of Arizona and UConn was imminent, and the media also began to do pre-game hype for this game.

The University of Arizona is a super powerhouse. They had previously made it to the tournament for 25 consecutive years, but were excluded from the tournament last season due to a bribery scandal. This season, after Sean Miller took over as coach, the team was quite strong, and they naturally hoped to have good results to sweep away the haze of last season.

UConn goes without saying, as a two-time NCAA champion, they desperately need results to regain their former glory.

The meeting of two old powerhouses has been portrayed by the media as a game like a collision between Mars and Earth.

With these reports, outside attention to this game has also increased, and the heat has even surpassed the game between Duke and North Carolina.

Just like Tang Tian said, the attention Walker wanted was more than he imagined.
