Chapter 51 The Real Power Is to Conquer Yourself

The Walker in front of him was something Tang Tian had never seen before, but Tang Tian understood his mood very well.

When a person fails to do the things he cares about most, it feels like the sky is falling.

“Learn to accept failure, it’s not that you haven’t failed; learn to accept injury, which is something you can’t avoid in the NBA in the future; learn to accept adjustment, if adjustment is so easy, who will guarantee it will bring you Change must be good?" Tang Tian understood Walker, but what he said next was very direct.

"Real strength is not about conquering how powerful an opponent is, but conquering yourself, Kemba."

Walker was stunned for a moment, and he looked up at Tang Tian.

He had known Tang Tian for a long time, but at this moment Tang Tian didn't look like a teammate or friend, but more like Kahun.

This obviously comes from the tone of a basketball godfather who has a lot of life experience.

Seeing Walker's expression, Tang Tian also realized that the way he spoke was not quite like that of an 18-year-old.

However, Walker's mood eased a little, and he then sat next to Walker.

"Kemba, be patient, change really isn't that easy, you know? The great Michael Jordan got hurt in his second season and missed more than 60 games, but when he came back from injury, he Score 63 points in the playoffs, is that a talent? Yes, but has he changed? That's for sure, knowing that the injury he suffered was a broken left foot."

Tang Tian followed the induction, and Walker's mood gradually calmed down.

"Remember what I said to you before? We must have made it to the championship game, and we will all play those opponents one by one, so it's really nothing to lose a few games during the adjustment process, or you think you got it. Can they beat them in the championship?" Tang Tian asked rhetorically.

"No, we will win." Walker finally spoke, his goal is the NCAA championship, the championship game is just the smallest step.

"That's not right! Be brave, be patient, and be confident. There is an idiom in our country that good things are hard, and the more anxious you are, the worse you will be. There is still more than half a month, you will definitely be able to adjust it. ." Tang Tian smiled and patted Walker on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Tang." Walker breathed a long breath, and Tang Tian persuaded him, and he could feel that he was obviously relieved.

"Thank you for what? Your thank you will wait until we win the NCAA championship." Tang Tian said with a smile.

"Definitely." Walker nodded firmly.

After the two of them chatted, they went to the training hall for additional training.

After Walker adjusted his mentality, he also maintained a normal mind during training, and the efficiency was much better than before.

March Madness is getting closer and fewer games are left in the regular season.

After Tang Tian's persuasion, Walker's performance still fluctuated, but he was obviously more patient.

Time unknowingly arrived in late February, the regular seasons of the major leagues were drawing to a close, and the University of Concord had basically locked in the third place in the league.

But they still have a chance to move up to No. 2 in the final game of the regular season if they beat St. John's on the road.

The third and second rankings have little impact, but in the face of the bitter master, if you can win the opponent, it will also be a very good boost to the team's morale.

The day before the game, the entire team flew to New York together.

The game is played at the home of St. John's University, where the team lives in Queens.

Kahun didn't want to give too much psychological burden before the game, and did not arrange training, but let the players relax by themselves.

Walker took Lamb and the others around the suburbs.

The reason why Queens is called Queens is because it is the most beautiful place in New York, as noble and beautiful as a queen, and the suburbs are pleasant, like a fairyland on earth, a paradise.

Tang Tian also went out, but not with Walker and the others, but went to the street court alone.

The professor said before that there were unexpected opportunities here, and he wanted to try his luck.

Rock Park is in Queens, but Rock Park has only one course, and in the winter it's full of bird shit because it's not looked after.

He went to some courses around Queens.

Queens is beautiful, but its economy is far behind that of Manhattan next door. There are even slums here, but it is precisely because of this composition that the neighborhoods here have never lacked golf courses and street players.

The rich and the poor compete on the street through basketball, which is a typical American streetball culture.

Tang Tian quickly found a lively stadium, with dozens of people surrounding a half, where they were playing heads-up games.

From time to time, there was a lively roar, and it was obvious that the fight was very exciting.

Tang Tian squeezed into the crowd, and then saw two black people on the court fighting one-on-one.

Unfortunately, one of them he knew, Foster, happened to be in Queens.

The two are really related.

However, unlike in New Haven, Foster is playing very hard now, and the black man on the opposite side is not inferior to him in terms of physical fitness or skill.

New York is a metropolis, and the players here are obviously better than New Haven, and more than a little bit better.

At the end of the game, it was Foster's fadeaway that killed the game.

5 to 4, he got his $100.

He rested for a while after playing, and soon a white striker came up.

There will be a new challenger immediately after the fight, and as the professor said, the money-making opportunities here in New York are much better than those in New Haven.

The white forward's dribbling and shooting are close to the NBA level. Played a wave of offensive, 5 to 4 last laugh.

The game was anxious, and he was also a little excited. After the end, he made his signature neck wipe to the audience.

"killer! killer!"

Courtside audiences were also incited by his actions, shouting his nickname.

After the match, no one stepped forward. Tang Tian came late and didn't see it, but this was already the 4th heads-up game that Foster won.

Winning four straight in Queens is no easy feat, and Foster has made a name for himself.

Foster let out a long breath. Even after playing four high-end rounds, his physical strength was a bit to the limit, and he was preparing to end the game with the money.

Tang Tian squeezed out from the crowd at this time.

Seeing that someone else came out to challenge Foster, those onlookers immediately made a roar.

Foster originally wanted to say who else has such short eyes, but when he saw that it was Tang Tian, ​​his face changed with a swish.
