Of course Kahon has the confidence.

The Big East League is the NCAA's popularity today. From 2006 to now, the league has set a record of 8 teams entering the championship every year!

16 teams scored 8, which was a pretty terrifying promotion rate.

The Pac-10 league, which belongs to Washington State University, is obviously much weaker, especially in the new season. With the departure of their respective star players last season, they are considered to be the team that is obviously inferior to all leagues.

Of course, what made Kahon hesitate is that Washington State University is the top team in the league today.

And there is also the Klay Thompson he mentioned.

Tang Tian was still a little excited when he heard Thompson's name.

This is Thompson, the Clay who will form the Splash Brothers with Curry in the future.

Speaking of which, he didn't have much contact with the NCAA in his previous life, and he just knew that Thompson and Curry's college teams were not very strong.

But now it seems that the situation is different from what I imagined.

Their team was not very good before these two people went, but it probably wasn't the case after they went there. Although it was not the strongest one, it was definitely not bad.

"This Thompson's three-pointer is very accurate, and his style is a bit similar to that of Ray, and he is particularly good at running without the ball, so it will be a bit troublesome to deal with it." Kahon added another sentence because he was afraid that Tang Tian would not understand Thompson.

Of course, Tang Tian knew about these things. Thompson's no ball was indeed very similar to Ray Allen and Hamilton, both of which were able to have unlimited physical strength.

"I think I can fight." Tang Tian thought for a while and gave his opinion.

"Tell me your reasons." Kahon continued.

"First of all, I think Kangda needs a tough battle to regain its fame. The opponent is the top team in the PAC-10 league. We are playing away games. If we win, we will definitely achieve this effect."

Kahon nodded.

"Secondly, you said just now that the opponent has no other stable scoring points except Klay Thompson, and I can defend Thompson."

Kahon couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

Tang Tian is actually quite arrogant.

This is a good thing. In addition to strength, toughness, endurance and fighting spirit are very important. Players who are not enthusiastic may not do well even if they have talent.

"I will remember what you said." Kahong heard it, but of course he would not make the final decision just because of these few words from Tang Tian.

Tang Tian didn't care. He said everything he should say. For him, the next game is to show his three-pointer. It would be better to be able to face Thompson, and it would not have much impact if he didn't meet.

During the training session the next day, Kahon announced a news.

The team will fly to Washington tomorrow to play an invitational match with Washington State University.

After the news was announced, the players' reactions were mixed, but most of them showed an expression of excitement on their faces.

Washington State University is the top of the PAC-10 league. The team is now in full swing for three consecutive victories. Fighting with such a strong team is a test and an opportunity.

The passionate thing is the most inseparable in a team that mainly focuses on the older and younger years.

"The opponent proposed to play an invitational match with us at this time because we saw that we performed poorly this season and wanted to use us to increase the team's popularity, so this is destined to be an easy game, but I hope you can play 120% of your form and win this game." Kahon saw the passion on the faces of the players and directly hit the railway while it was hot.

“We will win.”

"We will win!"

...

The passion was passed down until the end of the team members shouted slogans in unison.

Kahon nodded with satisfaction. Since everyone was ready for this away tough battle, he had no more worries.

The news that Kangda is going to go to Washington quickly spread among the fans, and the fans seemed particularly excited.

The team performed poorly at the beginning of the season and is now recovering. It is best to get such an opponent to sacrifice flags.

Some hard-core fans even found ways to get thousands of tickets on site and prepared to form a group to cheer for the team.

Even this game attracted a lot of attention from other NCAA teams.

The old-fashioned powerful men face the top of the league. Such a matchup is already attractive enough, not to mention the two geniuses.

(Note: Walker has averaged 22.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.6 assists this season, Klay Thompson averaged 24.6 points, 5.6 rebounds per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 49%, and he averaged 4+ three-pointers per game.)

In the Invitational Tournament, Washington State University naturally made sufficient publicity before the game.

The day before the game, this match went directly to the NCAA's front page headlines, which was very popular.

Washington State University also attached great importance to this game. Instead of choosing their campus basketball hall, they used the Martin Stadium that they would not use until the knockout stage.

Martin Stadium is usually used for football games. After the seats are arranged on the spot, it can accommodate more than 35,000 people. This number of people is more than that of all NBA stadiums.

But that's the NCAA.

You should know that in the final final, the number of people you usually choose is basically at the level of 60,000 to 80,000, and the atmosphere on the scene is much hotter than the NBA.

The stadium with more than 30,000 people was basically full that night. Except for a fan who was close to Qiankang Da, all of them were fans of the home team, including students, middle-aged uncles and even some old men. It felt even more lively than the NBA All-Star Game.

There was also an opening ceremony on the scene, and the two teams were introduced one after another.

Walker's appearance welcomed a burst of cheers, but it was not until Thompson appeared that the scene was completely ignited.

Thompson is now ranked among the top in the PAC-10 league in scoring per game, and is one of the hottest stars in the league.

Tang Tian also saw Thompson wearing the No. 1 jersey, which was different from the one he later called "Buddha" by fans. At this time, he had not yet grown a beard, and his face was full of immatureness, but his hooked nose was as conspicuous as the future.

At the end of the opening ceremony, the two teams held the final warm-up training before the game.

Just then, a sideline reporter interviewed Washington State University head coach Tony Bernard.

Bernard is only about 35 years old, and even in the NCAA, he is among the youngest coaches.

He looked energetic and full of spring breeze.

Washington State University has never advanced to the top 16 of the Championship before and was not favored before the season, but now it ranks first in the PAC-10 league and has also invited Kangda to play, which is the peak of school history.

"Coach, what kind of opponent do you think the University of Connecticut is?"
