Chapter 24 Small tricks and tricks
At four o'clock in the afternoon on February 2014, 02, old K, who was always on time, came to the arena for training ahead of time.

Clapping his hands, he called the players around, and the old K shouted loudly, "Everyone gave me [-] points in tonight's game! Whoever dares to relax, I will definitely put him on the bench for a season! Did you hear that?"

Seeing the coach's serious expression, everyone roared in unison. "Yes, coach!"

Zhang Zifeng looked at the seriousness of the other teammates, and asked Parker softly, "What's the matter, it seems that you are very serious today!"

Seeing that it was Zhang Zifeng, Parker reacted and whispered, "Tonight against North Carolina is a game that cannot be lost!"

It was just a game, Zhang Zifeng asked puzzled, "Why?"

"North Carolina and Duke are feuds!" Knowing that Zhang Zifeng, a Chinese, doesn't know much about the NCAA, Parker patiently explained to him the grievances and grievances between Duke and North Carolina.

Founded in 1789, the University of North Carolina is the oldest public university in the United States and one of the best public universities in the United States.

Founded in 1838, Duke University is one of the best private universities in the United States.

Regardless of public-private conflicts, the distance between the University of North Carolina and Duke University is only 13.6 kilometers, and it does not take three to 10 minutes to drive.

The two schools are too close, both belong to the ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference), and both are famous basketball schools in the United States.

北卡罗莱纳焦油踵队总计获得5次NCAA锦标赛冠军（1957、1982、1993、2005、2009）、17次大西洋海岸联盟锦标赛冠军、27次大西洋海岸联盟常规赛冠军。

杜克蓝魔队总计获得4次NCAA锦标赛冠军（1991， 1992， 2001， 2010）、23次大西洋海岸联盟锦标赛冠军、22次大西洋海岸联盟常规赛冠军。

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. In order to win students and win championship places (the league champions automatically advance to the tournament), the North Carolina Tar Heels and Duke Blue Devils have accumulated countless grievances and grievances, which can be described as NCAA feuds.

Whenever the two teams fight, the tickets will be in high demand, the fans will be extremely crazy, and even ESPN TV will broadcast it live.

The winners of the two teams are all proud, and the losers are downcast, even the fans.

There is even a sentence that says: You can lose to anyone, but you must not lose to Duke (North Carolina);
The former North Carolina head coach Dougherty directly led to dismissal because he could not win the "North Carolina VS Duke" victory and replaced him with Roy Williams.

In order to compete for the victory, the Duke Blues played against the North Carolina Blues created countless NCAA classic shots, and also accumulated countless grievances between the two teams.

In the 1968 game, after three overtimes, Duke narrowly beat North Carolina.

In 1984, North Carolina with Jordan had an extremely difficult game against Duke. It took 2 overtimes to win the game.

In the 70s, Duke University's Heyman and North Carolina University's Larry Brown (later a famous NBA coach) had a scuffle in the game, which finally caused a group fight between the two teams.

In the game between Duke University and the University of North Carolina in the 90s, the bridge of the nose of the center Montrose of the University of North Carolina was interrupted, and blood flowed on live TV.

In 2007, Duke's Henderson broke the bridge of North Carolina center Hansbrough's nose.Henderson was ejected and suspended one game by the NCAA.Hansbrough had to play in a mask in the playoffs.

Listening to Parker talking about Duke and North Carolina's fighting history for many years, he silently told how deep the hatred between the two teams is!

Only then did Zhang Zifeng understand why even the usually calm old K had to be on guard.

Zhang Zifeng nodded and said, "I see, I am also a Duke University player now, so I will know what to do!"

At this time, Jefferson, a sophomore, also interjected, "Tonight against North Carolina, it must be a fierce battle! You must be mentally prepared!"

"Fierce battle? Difficult?" Zhang Zifeng asked.

"Yes, today's game will definitely be very difficult! If I didn't prepare myself, I'm afraid I'll be scared!" Jefferson looked up and recalled.

In the CHBL finals, I was 19 points behind at halftime without being defeated, and led the team to comeback and win. I have never seen such a scene.

Zhang Zifeng yelled, "We are Blue Devils, how could we be intimidated!"

"Don't underestimate the enemy, the difficulty of the game is beyond your imagination. North Carolina will never let us win easily, and more importantly, we face the enemy away. The fans there are different from other teams. They treat us very very very Hostility! It can even be said to be a mortal enemy!" Jefferson said seriously.

"Yes, today's game will be very intense. Physical confrontation and fighting will be very different from previous games. Everyone must be mentally prepared! And remember to be careful and don't get injured!" Plumlee, a junior, said in Also said on the side.

The good man Parker asked in astonishment when he heard it: "What? Could it be that he is still doing something wrong?"

"Of course, so don't be careless!"

Plumlee was afraid that the freshmen would not understand the grievances between Duke and North Carolina and would take it lightly, so he told the freshmen about the black hands between the two teams.

Plumlee said, "In the game against North Carolina, there will definitely be small moves, and there may even be black hands to send you to the hospital! Are you afraid now? If you are afraid, you don't have to play tonight!"

Hearing Plumlee's contemptuous words, Zhang Zifeng shouted viciously, "I'm afraid of a bird, if he dares to do evil, I dare to abolish him! Let's see who is more ruthless!"

Jefferson, the boss of the team, patted Zhang Zifeng on the shoulder in relief, and shouted happily, "Yes, that's the kind of momentum we should have. This is the spirit that our Blue Devils should have. If they dare to play tricks, we dare to abolish them." .Hehe, actually you don’t have to worry too much. Although the competition will be fierce, they are proud of the glorious deeds of our predecessors, and North Carolina is even more afraid of us. So everyone just needs to be careful in the competition!”

That's true, the bridges of the noses of North Carolina's centers Hansbrough and Montrose were both broken. Needless to say, they must have been injured by the iron elbow of the Duke University seniors.

Tonight against North Carolina, the distance is less than 10 minutes, just take the school bus.

Two hours before the game, there was a huge crowd in front of the Dean Smith Center.

Basically all North Carolina students don't go to bars, hotels, or libraries tonight.

Everyone was wearing jerseys that read "Beat Duke" and gathered in front of the arena, and every fan's eyes had already begun to become fanatical.

"The Tar Heels will win!" they chanted.

"The Tar Heels will win!"

"Defeat Duke!"

Almost all North Carolina fans use roars to motivate the team.

The Duke University bus drove to the gate of the arena. After the players got off the bus, they saw the North Carolina fans surrounding them shouting, intimidating, threatening, and insulting the Duke Blue Devils players.

Because Zhang Zifeng is of the yellow race, North Carolina fans scolded Zhang Zifeng even more harshly and harshly.

"Yellow monkey, you idiot, don't be scared to pee your pants during the competition!"

"Garbage yellow people, this is not an amusement park, this is not where you should come!"

"Aside from table tennis, what else do you know? Watch, Pavis will blow you up!"

……

Seeing the arrogant look of the North Carolina fans in front of him, Zhang Zifeng couldn't get angry. He raised his hand, clenched it tightly, and shouted loudly. "The Blue Devils must win!"

All the Duke players and the coaching staff looked here in surprise.

"The Blue Devils must win!" Captain Jefferson also roared.

"The Blue Devils must win!!" All the players shouted in unison.

Hearing Duke University players dare to openly shout in front of them that the Blue Devils must win.

This completely angered the North Carolina fans, and they shouted loudly.

"This is North Carolina, don't be arrogant here, or you will pay the price."

"Go back to Duke, you are not welcome here!"

"You idiots, you will lose tonight and cry and go home to your mother to comfort you!"

……

If it weren't for the fact that North Carolina's security guards are still competent, I'm afraid that North Carolina fans would rush up and tear up the Blue Devils players.

Under the guard of security guards, the players from Duke University hurried into the locker room of the visiting team in the arena.

After changing the game uniform, the coach held the tactical board and explained the tactical arrangement loudly.

After the tactics were finished, Old K specially warned, "Tonight's game will be fierce, everyone must keep calm and pay more attention to safety, do you understand! Alright, get ready to play!"

All the team members arranged their clothes solemnly, moved their hands and feet and prepared to go out.
