Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork

Chapter 29 Tactical Positioning

Chapter 1 What's Next?
"Just what?" Tang Tian asked. Even if he knew, he could only pretend not to know.

"It's just… there will be some scenes that are quite challenging, so I'm still hesitating," Olsen continued.

"Nude?" Tang Tian asked tentatively.

Olsen nodded.

"Okay, actually, what I said last time was nonsense. I think you'd better not act in this kind of movie," Tang Tian said. He had been wondering why Olsen was different from what he remembered. If it was because of what he said, it would be really funny.

"Huh?" Olsen didn't react for a moment.

"Look, you're not short of money, right? Isn't acting in movies just to make money? Since there are so many movies, there's no need to try this kind of movie. There are many movies with a big contrast. Playing a witch in a fantasy movie is also good," Tang Tian persuaded. He didn't want to ruin this naive girl he had just met.

"I…" Olsen hesitated. She had her own unspeakable secrets, but those reasons were not suitable to tell Tang Tian, at least not yet.

"Hmm?"

"I'll think about it again," Olsen finally changed her mind.

"Well, you must consider it carefully. In fact, like I said just now, the family drama we just watched is also very good," Tang Tian said with a smile.

"By the way, before you decide whether to act in that movie, *Martha Marcy May Marlene*, you'd better tell me in advance, if it's convenient," he did not forget to remind her.

"Okay, I will," Olsen felt the concern in Tang Tian's words and nodded with a smile.

After coming out of the cinema, Olsen drove Tang Tian back to UConn and then drove back.

Watching Olsen leave, Tang Tian breathed a long sigh of relief.

After a few contacts, he felt that Olsen was actually a very nice person, and it was really not suitable for her to participate in those R-rated movies like she did in his previous life.

Back in the dormitory, Tang Tian temporarily put Olsen's affairs aside. What he was thinking more about now was how to earn more krypton gold value, and how to help UConn achieve better results in the league.

In the next day's training class, Calhoun carried out the tactical deployment for the next game against Georgetown.

Most of it was the same as the previous games. The only difference was that, because Tang Tian entered the starting lineup, Calhoun also designed several tactics for him.

When he was a substitute, his tactics were basically one: pick-and-roll for Walker, and then take a three-pointer at the arc.

But now, Calhoun designed more and more complex tactics for him, such as moving off-ball screens and then landing at the corner for a three-pointer, or directly running to the corner or the forty-five-degree three-point line by running around the teammate's screen.

What can be clearly felt is that this is an improvement in his tactical position.

His tactics with Walker before were only auxiliary, but in Calhoun's new tactics, there are even a few tactics that run with him as the finishing point.

This is a very big change.

"Tang, these tactics need to be practiced continuously in training class. It may not be possible to use them in the next game, but I hope you can get familiar with them as soon as possible," Calhoun said to Tang Tian separately at the end.

Tang Tian nodded. Physical fitness and other things take time to accumulate, and it can't be rushed, but in terms of tactics, he should be able to adapt easily.

After Calhoun arranged the tactics, he then let Ollie lead the team to train, and he went to the sidelines to sit and rest.

After all, he is an older person, and his energy and other things are completely incomparable to when he was young.

Ollie practiced the new tactics at first.

"Jeremy, pay attention to your positioning. After the screen, immediately return to the arc!"

"Alex, go to the basket after you screen, yes, be fast! You have to attract the opponent's defensive attention!"

"Kemba, pass the ball faster!"



Ollie's shouts echoed in the training hall. Because it was a new tactic, the players would always make some more or less mistakes when running.

This was completely expected.

But after watching for a while, Calhoun, who was originally resting, suddenly lit up his eyes and looked at Tang Tian on the court.

Ollie's new tactics training lasted for a full hour, and the players went from making frequent mistakes at the beginning to basically being able to run a pattern at the end.

But Tang Tian, the core of this tactic, did not make a single mistake from the first run to the final end!

This is a bit unbelievable.

Even if a person's basketball IQ is high, it is impossible to run a new tactic without making a single mistake.

Had Tang Tian practiced this kind of tactic before?

Impossible, he is only 18 years old, and he has been a ball boy before joining the team.

He couldn't find the answer to it, just like he didn't know why Tang Tian obviously had a three-pointer but didn't shoot it.

But at his age, he wouldn't think too much about many things that he couldn't figure out. Anyway, it would be a great thing for him if Tang Tian could get started with tactics quickly.

They didn't take down the hard bone of Georgetown last time. If they want to win this time, they must have some new tricks.

At the end of five days of training, because Tang Tian's tactical running was much better than expected, these sets of tactics had already achieved some success, which made the players more confident in the upcoming game.

On this night, the school gymnasium was already full of spectators early, and the fans were already eagerly waiting for this game.

Last time, Georgetown, led by Monroe, bloodbathed UConn. This time, they are playing at home, and it is time for them to take revenge.

What makes them even more excited is that the campus media released news before the game that Tang Tian will start in this game, which makes them even more looking forward to the game.

When UConn's players came out of the locker room, they felt that the atmosphere tonight was particularly warm. The fans were waving the cheering signs they had prepared long ago in all parts of the court, and some spectators even pulled out banners that said "Defeat Georgetown."

This enthusiasm is completely understandable.

In addition to being bloodbathed by their opponents before, there is another reason: Georgetown's historical status is similar to that of UConn. Because they are in the same Big East Conference, there have been many grievances between the two teams.

Georgetown University won the NCAA championship in 1984 under the leadership of Patrick Ewing, the "Big Gorilla". Since then, it has produced NBA superstars such as Alonzo Mourning and Allen Iverson.

In addition, they are also one of the few teams in the NCAA that play Princeton offense.

This tactic requires them to have an excellent big man, such as Ewing at the beginning, Mutombo later, and Mourning, and now Monroe is such a player.

UConn's inside line has not been strengthened, which will still make it very difficult for them to deal with Monroe, but the fans now have great confidence in their team, because they have completed an eight-game winning streak in the past, and they have just bloodbathed Providence College, the second-ranked team in the league a few days ago!

Taking down Georgetown and getting a nine-game winning streak is their biggest expectation!
