professional shooting guard

Chapter 15 Blue Devils vs. Jayhawks

Kansas City coach Bill Self hurriedly called a timeout.

Brin said to the other two narrators: "The performance of this Chinese man named Jack is simply surprising! He has solid defensive skills and a positive attitude, allowing him to successfully defend Wiggins in a row and help Duke University draw the score closer. In Duke University, which is strong in offense and weak in defense, this Chinese should be given the important task of old K. I just don’t know why I haven’t seen him play much before.”

Van Gundy Jr. said with a smile: "I think it should be a tactical issue. We all know that Duke University is weak inside and can only attack against opponents. Duke has 90+ in a row before and an average of 25+ wins per game. It can be seen that Duke University The firepower is so fierce. This Chinese should be better defensively than offensively. That's why the boss didn't let him start, but let Hood, who has a better offense, start. But in this game, Hood couldn't defend Wiggins is useless on the offensive end. The old K sent this Chinese, Jack, to defend Wiggins!"

Jackson also said: "I agree with Jeff's opinion. Old K probably didn't let the Chinese start because of tactical considerations. We can also see that the Chinese didn't score high before, averaging only 2.3 points per game. That's not a qualifying score for a shooting guard."

If Zhang Zifeng heard the comments of these two former head coaches, he would kill them with a mouthful of salt water.

Who said that the old man's offensive ability is not strong, but he has no chance to show it. If I get serious, I will be afraid!
Seeing Zhang Zifeng off the court, old K said, "Jack, you did a good job in this game. You did a good job on the defensive end. I am very satisfied with that."

"I will continue to work hard." Zhang Zifeng said hastily.

"That's good, we are very optimistic about you, I hope you can continue to maintain this performance!" Old K said.

"Well, I will!" Zhang Zifeng said hastily.

A group of other substitutes and reserve players heard old K's encouragement to Zhang Zifeng.

Some are jealous, some are envious, and some are disdainful.

No matter what kind of mentality they have, they all know that Zhang Zifeng, a Chinese kid, has won the trust of head coach Old K and will become Duke University's main rotation player.

Especially Nat, who had the best relationship with Zhang Zifeng, looked at Zhang Zifeng with envy.

University of Kansas City bench, Bill Self yelled at Wiggins angrily, "Wiggins, pass the ball, don't indulge in going it alone. You need to make the team work. Get it? Don't Fuck singles with that Chinese again and pass the ball out."

Bill Self was angry, and Wiggins was sullen and silent.

Back on the court, Wiggins had just received the ball and saw Zhang Zifeng posting it again.When he was about to pass the ball away, Zhang Zifeng said disdainfully,

"Brother, you are also a parallel importer. You have been touted by others. How can you compare with Parker? Even I am better than you!"

Wiggins has always been compared with Parker, but because there was no direct confrontation before, everyone only ranked according to analysis.But if even this substitute can't win today, what will others think of me, and how bad will my pick be changed in next year's draft?
No, I must prove to everyone that I am better than Parker, and I will be the No. [-] pick in next year's draft!
Hearing that he was inferior to Parker, Wiggins was irritated again. There was only one voice in his heart, and that was to defeat this bastard yellow monkey.

Seeing Wiggins ignore his own warnings and go it alone.

Bill Self saw angrily smashing the tactical board hard on the chair.

Wiggins dribbled the ball with his back and slammed into Zhang Zifeng.

If he encounters a muscular player like James, Zhang Zifeng will have trouble defending.

But not Wiggins.Zhang Zifeng is not afraid of confrontation.

But Zhang Zifeng is not an idiot, and he will not resist in vain.

When Wiggins was about to hit him again, Zhang Zifeng fell back as soon as his body touched.

The whistle sounded, an offensive foul!
Wiggins yelled at the referee angrily, "No, you can't call it like this, he's a fucking flop. I didn't touch him at all. A fucking liar. You have to change the sentence!"

The referee gestured to his eyes with his finger, meaning that I saw it with my own eyes.If you keep talking, I don't mind giving you a technical foul.

In anger, Wiggins ignored his teammates and continued to yell at the referee, "Are you blind, he is a liar..."

Seeing that Wiggins dared to mock himself, the referee blew his whistle and gave him a T.

Bill Self couldn't wait any longer and directly made a substitution.

Exit Wiggins, enter Jamali-Taylor.

Not only to punish Wiggins, but also to give him time to relax.

"You need to calm down!" Bill Self visibly suppressed anger.

Wiggins sat on a chair indifferently, covered his head with a towel, lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking!
Taylor and Wiggins are really far behind.

Without Wiggins, the University of Kansas City's offensive ability has been greatly affected.

And the absence of Wiggins not only lacks a player who can connect the inside and outside, but also loses an important scorer.
Duke's defense is much easier, and Zhang Zifeng can also focus more on offense.

At 31 minutes and 12 seconds into the second half, Zhang Zifeng cut inside and received a pass from Jefferson for a layup and scored two points.

At 35 minutes and 33 seconds of the second half, after Zhang Zifeng helped Parker cover, he cut inside to receive the pass and scored at the basket.

Brin exclaimed excitedly. "Jack scored again! Today he has scored 8 points!"

"It's him again, man, that Jack is literally everywhere."

"When Wiggins beat Duke University's starter Hood, I felt that Duke University was in danger today. Unexpectedly, after halftime, a Chinese Jack suddenly appeared, and he used defense to freeze Wiggins. .And led Duke University to set off a wave of offensive climax!"

At the last moment, Duke University used a wave of 31 to 15 offense to lead by 9 points.

When the whistle blew, Duke won the game on the road, 86-77.

After the game, Wiggins walked up to Zhang Zifeng and said coldly, "Bastard, I will definitely teach you a lesson in the end!"

After speaking, he returned to the locker room without looking back.

Zhang Zifeng doesn't care about the words of his defeated general, so what will happen, I will still abuse you!

Duke staged a comeback. Zhang Zifeng played 17.5 minutes in the second half, made 11 of 4 shots, scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists.

Although not many points were scored, anyone who watched the game knew that it was precisely because the Chinese successfully froze Wiggins, the core of the University of Kansas City, that Duke University was able to reverse and win.It can be said that the biggest hero of this game is the Chinese.

Zhang Zifeng's performance undoubtedly made the eyes of several scouts in the audience shine. When Zhang Zifeng played, they knew that the Asian was Chinese.

Now seeing that the opponent's defense is good, they immediately understand what to do.

As soon as the game was over, they pulled out their phones and called their supervisors.

"Hey, Mr. Russ. It's me, yes, I'm watching Duke vs. Kansas right now. Wiggins? He's doing okay, and Parker is good. But I found a good player. I am [-]% sure that he is Chinese. This Chinese kid has a very good defense and a high IQ!"

"Yeah, I also snapped a few shots of him defending, and I have to say this time the Chinese guy blew me away."

"Yes, now the Chinese market is what every club is desperately trying to win. Yes, I suggest that we should continue to observe him."

"Okay, I will make a file for this Chinese person and put it in the key observation project."

"Yes, yes, but I need some funds. You know, sir. It will cost a lot to continue to observe here. And I think we should take the initiative to contact him, so that as long as the other party meets our basic requirements, we can You can choose him, even if you can only play as a substitute, as long as you let him show good statistics, I think the Chinese people will definitely buy it, and Jeremy Lin is the best example.”

"Okay, sir, as long as the funds are sufficient, I will definitely investigate him thoroughly, and I can even tell you exactly what kind of cards he uses."

When Zhang Zifeng ran to the locker room to take a shower, the management of several clubs included Zhang Zifeng in their draft candidates.

This is America, if you play well, they can take you to the sky.But the day you play badly, they can play like hell.
