Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork
Chapter 20 My Girlfriend is Missing
At the post-game press conference, Kemba Walker, who had just scored a season-high, was the focus of all the reporters.
However, Walker didn't forget to praise Tang Tian during the interview.
"Most people only see that I scored a lot of points, but actually, my assist numbers are also the highest of the season. Three of them were to Tang. He didn't waste a single opportunity. He created space for me, and those three three-pointers were crucial for us. They were the key to winning the game."
Not only Walker, but Calhoun's praise for Tang Tian even exceeded all the previous games.
"I have to apologize to the UConn fans because I didn't know Tang could shoot three-pointers before. If I had known, the game might have been much easier. But luckily, we all know now. His pick-and-roll with Kemba will be a new tactic for us, and it will give our opponents a headache."
What happens off the court between players and between players and coaches, the outside world doesn't know. But the fact that a role player can attract such great praise from the team's core and the head coach shows how much he helps the team, not just the data reflected on the court.
One piece of information that can be clearly conveyed from this interview is that Tang Tian is important to UConn.
UConn's victory over Washington State University, the top team in the Pac-10 conference, made them famous for a time.
The old team that once dominated the scene is back!
Not only did NCAA media report overwhelmingly, but even those powerhouses put UConn back on their list of potential competitors.
This is the role of invitational tournaments. Those who win games often win a lot of fame.
After finishing the game against Washington State University, the UConn players quickly returned to school.
Invitational tournaments are games outside of the regular season, which are interspersed. Two days later, they will face other teams in the Big East Conference.
After training that day, Tang Tian and his teammates came out of the gym together.
"Beep~ Beep~"
As they were walking, a series of car horns suddenly sounded outside the arena.
Everyone was attracted by the horn and turned their heads, and Tang Tian also turned to look.
It was a brand-new Maserati GranCabrio, and someone came out of it after the door opened.
Elizabeth Olsen was waving at them.
The teammates looked at each other, wondering who it was and who she was greeting.
Tang Tian felt a bit of a headache.
He had borrowed ten dollars from Olsen at the subway station before, and Olsen had called him several times afterward, saying she wanted to return the money.
Tang Tian didn't care about the ten dollars after receiving the scholarship and said several times that it wasn't necessary.
He didn't expect Olsen to come directly to UConn at this time!
And it looked like she had been waiting outside for a while, so it wouldn't be appropriate to ignore her.
He walked directly towards Olsen.
The eyes of his teammates behind him straightened.
Olsen was wearing a relatively tight outfit today. After getting out of the car, her curvy figure was particularly eye-catching, not to mention that she was driving a Maserati.
Before Tang Tian could reach her, there was a burst of whistles and cheers from behind.
These guys!
Tang Tian ignored them, greeted Olsen, and sat in the passenger seat.
Olsen waved to Tang Tian's teammates, got back in the car, and then drove straight out of UConn.
"This guy, he's really too enviable." Walker couldn't help but say with envy, looking at the departing car.
The other teammates also had envious expressions on their faces.
"Normal." Napier suddenly said at this time.
The other players looked at him with puzzled eyes when they heard him say that.
"Mature men are liked by beautiful women." Napier continued.
The other players nodded in unison after hearing this.
Tang Tian did have a maturity that didn't match his age, and, more importantly, he was handsome!
"Why did you come to UConn?" After the car started, Tang Tian turned to Olsen and asked.
"To treat you to a meal." Olsen said with a smile.
Tang Tian wasn't stupid and knew that this was because he had refused to return the money, so she was using a meal to thank him.
"I said it was okay, it's not much money." Tang Tian said.
"It's not about the amount of money. If you hadn't helped me, I would have had to call Lucy's family to send it over, which saved a lot of trouble." Olsen turned to him and smiled as she spoke.
The United States is not like China in the future. Even though the economy is more developed at this time, mobile payment is still very inconvenient, and losing money can indeed cause a lot of trouble.
As they spoke, the car had already driven out of UConn.
"By the way, did you find your wallet?" Since he was already in Olsen's car, it wouldn't be appropriate to refuse any further, so Tang Tian simply started chatting.
"I found it. I was lucky. Someone picked it up and gave it directly to the library. They contacted me the next day." Olsen said with a smile.
"Then you're really lucky, otherwise, it would be enough trouble to replace the cards and everything."
"Yeah, there's also a photo of me and my mom inside. It would be a lot of trouble if I lost it. Speaking of which, I still have to thank you for taking care of Lucy that day."
"That little girl... is interesting." Tang Tian couldn't help but smile wryly when he mentioned Lucy.
"She's just like that." Olsen couldn't help but laugh when she talked about her little cousin.
Both of them were relatively talkative, and although it was only their second meeting, they basically chatted all the way in the car.
Olsen drove the car to a relatively large shopping mall in the area and parked it in the underground garage.
When getting out of the car, Tang Tian took another look.
Speaking of which, Olsen hadn't become the Scarlet Witch at this time, and she hadn't even filmed her first movie, but she could afford a Maserati. It seemed that her family's financial situation was very good.
Olsen also had a new evaluation of Tang Tian in her heart at this time.
When she saw that broken phone before, she thought Tang Tian was probably the child of a poor family, which was why she insisted on returning the money, but from his reaction and demeanor after getting into the Maserati, it wasn't like that at all.
Not having thought about what to eat, the two of them went up from the underground garage and strolled around the outside of the first floor while chatting.
As they were walking, Olsen was suddenly attracted by a notice posted outside a store.
Tang Tian also walked over with her.
"My girlfriend, Anna, she is 1.8 meters tall, has a pair of big, charming eyes, they are blue, her hair is brown and especially beautiful, of course, her nose is also very beautiful, her mouth is red and cute, but yesterday I accidentally left her alone at the door, and then she was blown away, I miss her very much, and I want to find her back, if anyone sees her, please call this number, phone number 433..."
"What does this mean? How could his girlfriend be blown away?" Olsen couldn't help but mutter as she looked at it.
