The NCAA isn't like media giants such as ESPN or TNT; they don't cover it. This was especially true for what was just a very ordinary regular season game in the entire NCAA league.
However, they also have their own media circles. For example, the University of Connecticut has its own campus media.
Don't underestimate this. In the hearts of UConn fans, its status is even higher than ESPN's.
In addition, some local media and some media from the NCAA itself will also report on the games.
The name Tang Tian appeared in the most prominent position on the front page, almost without exception.
"China's Iron Gate, Tang Tian, Locks Down Jimmy Butler, Securing a Crucial Victory for UConn!"
"UConn's Defense Changed by One Man; A Small Player Fills a Big Role. Let's Cheer for Tang Tian Tonight!"
"Before tonight, no one knew his name, but after tonight, everyone knows him. Tang Tian, the miraculous newcomer from across the ocean!"
Overnight, Tang Tian transformed from an unknown ball boy into a hero in the eyes of UConn fans.
Especially since he was a Chinese person with yellow skin, it made him even more memorable.
This was truly an overnight sensation.
However, Tang Tian himself didn't pay too much attention to it.
Putting aside the great storms he had weathered in his past life, he had only played one good game now, and it was a good game without scoring. There was indeed nothing to be proud of.
Games and training couldn't be skipped, and naturally, he had to maintain good relationships with his roommates.
It was the weekend, and the group of them decided to visit Yale University together.
They were all freshmen at UConn, and they hadn't even visited all the attractions in Connecticut yet.
Yale University was founded in 1701 and has a history of over 300 years. It is Connecticut's most famous attraction and one that UConn students must visit.
Towering spires, castle-like architecture, and carvings exuding a deep historical aura. Yale University is more than just an academic institution; it is an imprint left by the long river of history.
Walking on campus felt like traveling back a hundred years.
In his past life, Tang Tian had always been around big cities like Los Angeles and New York. Yale University was also his first time visiting.
Like his roommates, his gaze was drawn to the architecture. Seeing some beautiful scenery, he couldn't help but take out his phone to take pictures as a memento.
While they were admiring the scenery, they unknowingly became part of someone else's scenery.
Many people cast curious and puzzled glances in his direction.
A height of two meters was not common on campus, let alone the fact that he was now somewhat famous in Connecticut. Those students saw him and wanted to recognize him but didn't dare to, so they could only watch him from a distance as part of the scenery.
"Tang, there's a really hot girl looking at you over there. Wanna go meet her?" His roommate's eyes were full of envy.
"If you want to go, you go. I'm not interested." Tang Tian had experienced far more than all of them combined in his past life. Ordinary women couldn't really pique his interest.
"Tch, you're just scared. Why pretend to be so refined!"
As they took pictures and chatted, they arrived at Yale University's most famous library.
As one of the largest research libraries in the United States, it houses over eleven million books. The campus alone has three libraries dedicated to storing books, and the one they visited was the largest, Sterling Memorial Library.
With different interests, the group split up after entering the library.
Tang Tian was just wandering. In his past life, he had spent most of his time studying basketball tactics, so it was rare to have time to read other books.
Standing in front of a bookshelf, he reached out to take a book about the stories of Hollywood actors when he suddenly felt someone else reaching for a book on the opposite side.
It was a coincidence.
He let go of his hand, and the book was taken by the person opposite him.
Through the gap where the book was taken, he saw a woman's face.
Her face was beautiful, but not in an ordinary way.
Especially her green eyes, which gave off a magical, exotic aura.
The woman smiled at him when she saw him, likely thanking him for his "courtesy."
However, when Tang Tian saw her smiling face, he suddenly remembered who she was.
Elizabeth Olsen, the Scarlet Witch from Marvel.
He didn't expect to run into her here!
But upon closer thought, it seemed normal. Olsen was a late bloomer as an actress. She didn't start her first movie until she was 21, and it wasn't until she appeared in a Marvel Cinematic Universe film at 24 that she gained global recognition.
It was 2010 now, and she probably hadn't started acting yet, or judging by the book she chose, she was on the path to acting.
After Olsen smiled, she disappeared from Tang Tian's sight.
Tang Tian didn't follow her.
Seeing Olsen was just a surprise, but when the surprise passed without anything happening, it was just a surprise.
He stayed in the library for about two hours. When he came out, he realized his phone had turned off at some point.
Once he got his scholarship, he really needed to replace this crappy phone.
He rebooted his phone and found missed calls and texts from his roommate. They said they couldn't get through to him, waited for over half an hour, and then left without him.
He took out his phone, replied to a message, and then left campus directly.
UConn was located in Storrs, Mansfield, which was over a two-hour drive from New Haven, where Yale University was. He needed to take the subway to the bus station now.
The subway here was much better than the ones back home, and since it was the afternoon, there were fewer people.
He stood on the platform waiting. Just then, a sports report about the NCAA was playing on a TV nearby.
"In a highly anticipated game yesterday, the University of Connecticut Huskies defeated the visiting Marquette Golden Eagles 73 to 61. Junior player Kemba Walker scored a game-high 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists. It's worth noting that NCAA newcomer Tang Tian from China played a crucial role in the game. Under his defense, Marquette's core player Jimmy Butler only made 1 out of 15 shots, scoring just 14 points in total with 5 out of 20 shots..."
As the TV reported, it also showed some exciting highlights and photos from the game.
Besides Walker, there were also highlights of Tang Tian.
Seeing his own news appear before his eyes was a rather strange experience.
He couldn't help but chuckle.
"Sister, he looks just like the person on TV?" While he was smiling, he suddenly heard a little girl's voice.
He turned his head curiously and saw a girl, about eight or nine years old, looking at him with curiosity.
He smiled and greeted the little girl, who smiled and waved back at him.
It was at this moment that he noticed someone standing next to the little girl.
He looked up and was stunned.
Elizabeth Olsen?
What a coincidence? Meeting her twice in one day?
