Chapter 20 Testing Results in Competitions

On December 2013, 12, the Duke University Blue Devils played against the Elon University Phoenix at home.

The game is about to start, and players from both sides are standing in the player tunnel ready to play.

When it was Zhang Zifeng's turn to play, he found that the Blue Devils fans cheered him more and more, even more than Hood.

It seems that my efforts have won their support and I have begun to recognize myself.

Zhang Zifeng reached out and clapped with the fans on both sides and ran into the stadium.

……

Elon University starters: Point guard: Williams, Shooting guard: Danny, Small forward: Grant, Power forward: Travis, Center: Lambiel;

Duke University starters: Cook, Hood, Parker, Winslaw, Jefferson;

The Phoenix team of Elon University is not a strong team, and they were overwhelmed by Duke University at the beginning of the game.

Parker scored frequently from outside shots, and Hood also felt good today, making two three-pointers.

Jefferson, who has always been a blue-collar insider, rarely stands up and shows off his might in the inside.

Duke blossomed inside and out, firing across the board.

Zhang Zifeng sat on the sidelines, watching Duke University play a gorgeous offense.

Zhang Zifeng had a premonition that today's game would enter garbage time early, and his playing time might not be too much today, and most of it might be garbage time.

But it’s also just right, it can be used to practice shooting and use the game to verify your own touch.

Sure enough, at 8 minutes and 23 seconds into the first half, K replaced Cook, Hood, and Jefferson with Thornton, Zhang Zifeng, and Plumlee, and let Parker play with three substitutes.

As soon as he came up, Zhang Zifeng took the initiative to run to the top of the three-point arc to help Thornton with a pick-and-roll. As the season progressed, Zhang Zifeng, Cook and Thornton's guards became more and more proficient in the pick-and-roll.

Phoenix point guard Williams was completely blocked by Zhang Zifeng, and Thornton charged forward with the ball.

Shooting guard Danny had to defend, and at this time a dislocation was formed, and Thornton directly passed the ball back to Zhang Zifeng.

Before Zhang Zifeng's offense was mediocre, the old K's tactics for him were very simple.

One is to help the point guard or small forward pick and roll to cover, and then take advantage of the trend to cut in, and score a layup when there is a chance to catch the ball.

The second is to stay in the bottom corner, attract the players away, open up space for Parker and the others to play singles, and shoot long shots when they have the opportunity to catch the ball.

In the past, Zhang Zifeng's shooting percentage was very bad. Many times he did not dare to take the ball when he received the ball. He passed the ball again and let Cook and Parker organize the offense.

After several days of high-intensity shooting training, the old touch has gradually returned.

One goal after another in training gave him great confidence.

Now Zhang Zifeng is no longer afraid of shooting, as long as he receives a pass, he dares to shoot.

At three cents away, facing Williams who was about 10 centimeters shorter than him, Zhang Zifeng jumped up after receiving the ball!

Williams is right in front of Zhang Zifeng. Although he is a little shorter, he is also 1.8 meters tall.

Even though Williams flew towards him immediately, Zhang Zifeng still shot firmly and confidently without any hesitation.

He is full of confidence!
The basketball flew out of Zhang Zifeng's hands and plunged into the net with great vigor.

When Zhang Zifeng turned around, he raised his hand and raised three fingers, indicating a three-pointer.

Parker came over and patted Zhang Zifeng's butt, encouraging him, "Yes, Jack, you should vote with confidence!"

Duke University fans don't care what the Chinese man was like before. Now that he scored a goal, they cheered happily.

At 11 minutes and 13 seconds of the first half, Parker broke into the inside and then passed the ball to Zhang Zifeng who was waiting in the corner.

Jump up and shoot.

After practicing thousands of shots, Zhang Zifeng is already familiar with shooting.

"Shh!"

The ball enters the net hollow.

Listening to that crisp voice is really very comfortable.

At 26 minutes and 33 seconds of the second half, Zhang Zifeng received a pass from Cook and hit another three-pointer with a jumper at the top of the arc.

Zhang Zifeng played 14.5 minutes, made 9 of 3 shots, contributed 9 points, 2 assists, and 2 rebounds, helping Duke University beat Elon University 93:61.

From the very beginning of the game, the Duke University team's offensive style was very unsatisfactory, and they frequently hit the iron.

This is the disadvantage of the team with outside shooting as the main tactic. When the player's touch comes, it is really a god-blocking god, a god-blocking god, and it can collapse the opponent's shots.

But if the hand feels bad, no matter how hard you shoot, and you can slide out of the basket, you really want to cry.

What was even worse was the situation where they did not have an advantage in the paint. Duke University could not control the rebounds and was overwhelmed by the Virginia Tech Hodges.

Old K called a full five timeouts, and the frequent substitutions did not become a situation.
