Chapter 15

On March 3, the 3-2011 regular season of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) came to an end at Duke University's Cameron Arena.

The two sides in the final game are the guarantee of the flow of the league and the entire NCAA-the Duke University Blue Devils and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Tar Heels. This is the second matchup between the two teams this season.

The first time they met, at North Carolina's home court, Dean Smith Arena, Duke easily won the opponent with an unexpected matchup arrangement.

For more than a month, Chen Xiao's performance over Harrison Barnes is still talked about by fans.

As tweeted by a fan "J" who has followed Chen Xiao's Little Bluebird for 2.5 months—

"Chen Xiao is the next David Robinson. He has the height of a center (higher than David Robinson), but has the running and jumping ability and agility of a small forward. Have you seen his performance against Barnes? Maybe we can look forward to a new dominant insider in the league."

Shortly after this fan tweeted, hundreds of comments and thousands of likes represented the views of this "J" fan and also the views of a large number of fans on Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao also silently clicked a heart after swiping, encouraging this fan comrade to update and create more, and continue to maintain the style of telling the truth.

Of course, the large size is used, and Chen Xiao, who is doing his job well, does not have a small size. Anyway, if he thinks it is reasonable, then give it a thumbs up, and if it is unreasonable, just treat it as fart.

This buddy is worthy of being his own fan, he knows football.Chen Xiao thought it was great.

When Chen Xiao saw this tweet, the first thing he thought of was his physical attributes such as speed and agility, double "70"

His speed and agility were fully reflected in the single defense against Barnes' breakthrough in the last game.

As a big center forward, it is normal that the lateral movement is not fast enough, but the speed is quick and fast. Even if he misses half a body position or even a body position, he can rely on the speed after adjusting his body posture to chase and defend against interference and even big hat opponents.

But why is there no explosive force attribute in the system personal attribute interface? This attribute is also very important.Does it mean that "speed" is not just the speed after starting, but also includes explosive force and acceleration?After Chen Xiao experienced the practice, he also had more thoughts on the system attributes.

……

The result of this rematch was beyond everyone's expectations, and it could even be said to be a small upset.

Duke lost to North Carolina 70-76.

Duke's outside combination Seth Curry and Austin Rivers made only 25 of 8 shots. Poor Seth Curry made 13 of 3 shots under the care of North Carolina's tall and powerful configuration.The 3 shots he made were only points from the outside line. His thin physique couldn't get into the inside line at all, and he often got a cap when he entered the inside line.

In this game, North Carolina coach Roy Williams did not mess with himself, and chose to continue to maintain the game arrangement. He used two top insiders in the college arena to strangle Chen Xiao and cut Chen Xiao's connection with his teammates.

Although Chen Xiao relied on his personal ability, he scored a few beautiful goals even against the two defenses.

In particular, a wonderful goal that was hooked with a towering shot in the face of two people raising their long arms to defend, still attracted more attention for Chen Xiao.

The fan "J" watching in front of the screen even wanted to tweet again immediately, comparing Chen Xiao to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

But for North Carolina, Kendall Marshall proved that he has lottery strength, scoring 20 points single-handedly, Reggie Bullock made 3 mid-range shots at the critical moment, and Barnes, who faced Chen Xiao again, stabilized his mentality and contributed 11 points.The full blooming performance has gradually tilted the balance of victory to the Tar Heels.

In the end, the North Carolina Tar Heels beat Duke by 6 points.

Chen Xiao still maintained a good performance in the game. His stats of 24 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks are not inferior to anyone else.But it is difficult to support a single tree, and it will be difficult for a savior with one person's strength.

After the game, the old coach K accepted an interview, he was not furious, but remained calm.Facing the interview, he said calmly: "North Carolina performed very well. They have this strength. I will not criticize my players too much because of the poor touch. I saw their fighting spirit on the court. This defeat will make us better."

Duke ended the regular season with a loss, but their undefeated performance still allowed them to top the ACC standings with a 15-1 record.North Carolina finished second with two losses. In addition to losing to Duke, they also lost to the Florida State Seminoles.

The winning streak is ended by the old enemy, after all, it is painful.

The coach who the players imagined would continue to blow the hair dryer changed from normal and became calm and kind, which surprised the players and let go of a lot of burdens.

They have to be ready to meet the league playoffs.

……

ACC联盟季后赛时间安排非常紧凑,从3月8日到11日,仅仅4天将安排4轮次对战。

The top 4 teams skip the first round and play starts on the 9th.

3 month 9 day.

Duke played against the Maryland Terrapins, which ranked 8th in the regular season and beat the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in the first round. Chen Xiao and his old acquaintance Alex Lane met again.Even the media who criticized Chen Xiao's ability to deal with double teams after losing to North Carolina in the game agreed that there was only one result.

After the game, the media briefly reported the game, "ACC playoffs second round, Duke wins Maryland".

3 month 10 day.

Duke meets the North Carolina State Wolfpack.North Carolina State, which narrowly beat the Virginia Cavaliers by 3 points in the previous game, was not so lucky this time.

The core of the team, CJ Leslie, was widely favored in high school. Leslie, who reached 6 feet 8 inches and 2.03 meters in height in his sophomore year, was considered to be the next "KG".

Facing the little "KG" whose height and weight have degenerated in an all-round way, Chen Xiao showed off his ability to fight. According to Zhang-Ruiwei-Weiping's words, play him.Eh, just for fun.

In the end, he scored 29 points, 16 rebounds and 6 blocked shots, leading Duke to advance easily.

That night, the Facebook circle of Duke University students was full of joy and excitement. The reason was not because Duke University easily advanced, but because North Carolina lost to Florida State again.

Although there are fans who think that Duke will play North Carolina in the finals, and as Duke fans, they also hope that the Blue Devils can avenge the end of the regular season.

But it is obvious that as a subjective fan, I naturally hope that my team can win, and it is better to win easily.

Fans often say "ah, it doesn't matter who the opponent is, just play first in the league", but what they think in their hearts is "the opponent quickly overturns, the black eight is the best".
