professional shooting guard

Chapter 105 Crack
Time passed by, and the Cavalry has been leading by relying on excellent defense and good offensive efficiency.

The Duke Blue Devils couldn't play offensively, relying on individual technical scoring to barely maintain the score.

The difference between the two teams was gradually widened.

It is indeed a strong defensive cavalry team!

Zhang Zifeng pulled up his jersey collar to wipe his sweat. This was the hardest game he had played this season. He only scored 2 points from the start and was restricted to death.

Zhang Zifeng was protecting the ball in the frontcourt while looking for a solution.

But as long as he holds the ball, Anderson is like a wolf ready to pounce at any time, teaming up with Brogdon to double-team.

Facing Brogdon's stalking and Anderson's stalking, Zhang Zifeng tried several times but couldn't persuade his opponent, so he could only pass the ball.

The old coach K is also observing the running of the opponent on the field, trying to find a way to break the defensive line.

Anderson and Brogdon double-teamed Zhang Zifeng, and they must kill the core of the Duke Blue Devils' tactics, the offensive organizer Zhang Zifeng.

Implemented a shark-slashing tactic against Okafor, killing another important scoring point for the Duke Blue Devils.

Zhang Zifeng was restricted, and Okafor was subject to shark-slashing tactics in the paint, which brought the Duke Blue Devils' offensive system to a standstill.

The old coach K nodded, thinking: As expected of Coach Tony Bennett, the defensive system he created is really powerful.

Don't think that's enough to defeat us, though.

To crack this defensive system, it is impossible to rely on a short 30-second timeout.Old K put the victory in the second half.

With the whistle sounded, the first half ended, the score was 28:41, and the Cavaliers led by as many as 13 points.

Zhang Zifeng only scored 4 points in the entire first half, the lowest score since the start of the game.

Other than the opening shot and a missed rebound, there were no points.

When Zhang Zifeng walked into the player tunnel, the fans of the Cavalry team pointed all kinds of humiliating fingers at Zhang Zifeng.

"Did you see that? Under our iron cavalry, you can't do it at all!"

"Trash Chinese, talk! Aren't you amazing? Look at your performance today, it's shit!"

"With our cavalry team, you don't even think about winning. Today we will suspend your company's victory!"

Zhang Zifeng ignored these trolls and walked into the player tunnel.

In the team locker room, the old coach K looked at Zhang Zifeng and said, "Jack, how does this match compare with the opponents you have encountered before?"

After a moment of silence, Zhang Zifeng replied: "Their defense is very good, especially in rotation defense!"

Old coach K nodded, yes, it seems that Zhang Zifeng himself is very aware of the opponent's strengths.

"If you want to break their defense, you must beat their rotation. Zhang Zifeng, you hand over the ball later." The old coach K said seriously: "Let Okafor organize, Jack, you don't have to worry about organizing the offense, just do it Go back to shooting guard and use your best moves to tear apart the defense and paralyze the rotation. That way, our offensive opportunity comes! You know what I mean, Jack?"

Hearing old K talking about his best running position, Zhang Zifeng laughed dumbly.

It seems that this period of time has been too smooth for me, and I have forgotten my housekeeping skills - running!
Zhang Zifeng nodded and said, "I understand, coach. Don't worry, I know what to do!"

Old K held a marker pen on the tactical board in the locker room, drew the offensive line, and told his players what to do later.

During the half-time break, under the adjustment of the old K, the players' mentality was calmed down.

After the start of the second half, the momentum of the Duke Blue Devils changed greatly, and it was a completely different team from the first half!
Cook holds the ball and hands it to Okafor in the frontcourt.

Okafor stuck the opponent with his back, held the ball in the low post, and observed the situation on the field.

At this time, Zhang Zifeng started to run. He threw away Brogdon and Anderson and ran to the inside.Seeing this, Brogdon hurriedly followed.

Okafor saw Zhang Zifeng running in the penalty area, passed the ball to him immediately, and then helped him set a screen.

Behind Zhang Zifeng, Brogdon did not give up chasing. Seeing that he was about to hit Okafor, he hurried around.

Toby posted Zhang Zifeng and didn't give him a chance to shoot.

Zhang Zifeng pretended to shoot, tricked Toby, and passed the ball to Okafor.

Let Okafor hit big and small, but he ran to the outside line.

Toby couldn't keep up with Zhang Zifeng at all, and Brogdon had to mark Okafor.

At this time, there was a gap in the cavalry.

Okafor didn't play by himself. He knew that if he shot, his opponent would foul him.

Seeing that Zhang Zifeng had already run out, he passed the ball.

Winslow helped Zhang Zifeng cover from the outside. Under the cover of the whole team, Zhang Zifeng finally got rid of the opponent's defense. After receiving the pass, he immediately jumped up and shot.

After Zhang Zifeng landed, Anderson just went around and caught up.

"Damn it, the whole team is covering for him, this guy shot too fast, it's too late!" Anderson cursed in his heart.

Zhang Zifeng hit a three-pointer with a beautiful and standard posture, adding another three-pointer for the Duke Blue Devils.

Zhang Zifeng and Okafor clapped hands in celebration: "Good pass!"

As he ran back, Zhang Zifeng arrogantly gestured to Brogdon for a three-pointer and shouted, "You better pray every time I shoot that I don't make it because that's the only way you can fight me! "

Seeing Zhang Zifeng being so provocative, the cavalry fans got angry and shouted at their players.

"Kill that idiot Chinese!"

"Come on, don't let this yellow-skinned monkey score!"

"Brogdon taught that bastard Chinese a lesson, let us know how good we are!"

When it was the cavalry's turn to attack, as soon as Toby sent the ball to Brogdon, Zhang Zifeng surrounded him.

Zhang Zifeng sneered, you think you are the only ones who can defend, and our defense is not bad.

Originally not strong enough on the offensive end, now that the Duke Blue Devils are pressing all over the court, it is even more difficult for the Cavalry to attack.

Several times caused a 35-second offense violation!
Offensive and defensive transition, after Zhang Zifeng was liberated from the role of offensive organizer, he immediately became extremely active, turning back to the active running guy of last season.

Active and flexible running, tearing through the solid defense line of the cavalry.

Zhang Zifeng took the ball, and he made a shooting action. Brogdon rushed over and jumped to block the shot.

Zhang Zifeng received the ball and made a breakthrough!

Brogdon was swayed, and Zhang Zifeng dribbled the ball straight to the basket.

Zhang Zifeng is not Okafor, and Toby will not foul on him, that is, he will score points and match his own foul times.

Zhang Zifeng succeeded in going to the blue.

After landing, Zhang Zifeng looked at Brogdon and said, "Passing you is like crossing the road in the morning."

Brogdon was furious, but there was nothing he could do about the bastard.

This bastard is so good at running!

The three of Brogdon often lost Zhang Zifeng when they were chasing and defending, and then they lost the chain when the rotation changed, and they couldn't function.

Amazing!
Coach Tony Bennett was very surprised. Even though he was mentally prepared, Zhang Zifeng's ability was far beyond his imagination.

This guy's running is too flexible, making it impossible to guard against!
Zhang Zifeng always ran to the most appropriate position to receive the ball at the most appropriate time, and then sent the ball into the basket.

Zhang Zifeng opened up, and the Duke Blue Devils were not quite the same.

The shooting is as precise as a missile, and the pass is as sharp as a scalpel. With Zhang Zifeng's running, the Duke Blue Devils regained control of the offensive rhythm.

It started to turn the situation back, and the rhythm fell into the control of the Blue Devils.

Seeing Zhang Zifeng open up, the Duke Blue Devils are not quite the same.Some scouts and coaches sighed, "It's really obvious that Zhang Zifeng's effect on the Duke Blue Devils can be seen."

Tony Bennett never underestimated the Duke Blue Devils.

But the actual situation is still far beyond his expectations.

Tony Bennett was very disappointed to see the Blue Devils' offense coming back. He thought he had seen through the Blue Devils' weaknesses, and he thought that the defensive system he built would definitely kill Zhang Zifeng.He thought there was a way to beat the mighty Duke Blue Devils today.

But all of this became useless when Zhang Zifeng changed his style of play.

Seeing that this defensive system could no longer limit the opponent, Tony Bennett requested a substitution.

Enter Brogdon, "Foul Drawer" Evan Nolte.

From relying on the tactical system to limit Zhang Zifeng, to relying on personal defense to limit Zhang Zifeng.

The game restarted. Although Evan Nolte was the best defender in the team, he couldn't defend Zhang Zifeng by himself.

In the last 2 minutes of the game, the Blue Devils hit three-pointers one after another, extending the lead to 6 points.

Then Zhang Zifeng hit a key three-pointer. With only 1 minute and 9 seconds left in the game, Duke University led 60-51.

Tony Bennett called the final timeout, but that timeout did not allow them to recover the score.

In the end, the Blue Devils ended the game 62-54.

Zhang Zifeng scored a game-high 22 points and had 4 assists.Winslow scored 14 points, and Okafor performed poorly in this game, only scoring 8 points and 6 rebounds.
