professional shooting guard

Chapter 29

Zhang Zifeng was thinking about countermeasures while running.

A pitcher who relies on running to create opportunities is most suitable for a breakthrough master or a strong inside player.

As soon as the breaker breaks into the inside line, there will be problems with the opponent's defense line. At this time, the pitcher can take advantage of the chaos and run out of the open space.

In addition, powerful inside players are rampant in the penalty area, forcing opponents to double-team him.

There is bound to be a gap in a double-team, and the pitcher catches the ball and throws it.

But the problem is that Duke's inside players Jefferson and Plumlee are average in strength, and Parker, who has a strong breakthrough, is injured again.

If the passing route is pinched, Zhang Zifeng will fall into the role of a hero.

Zhang Zifeng knew that he had to make a change, no matter how difficult it was, he had to try it!

Zhang Zifeng ran out of the outside line and reached out to signal for the ball.

"What kind of attack will Zhang Zifeng adopt? Previously, Zhang Zifeng's offensive skills mainly relied on flexible running and soft touch to score. For such an attack, Williams has come up with a countermeasure, which is to strangle the passing route. Next Zhang Zifeng won't be able to score so easily any more," Jackson said.

"Yes, North Carolina definitely attaches great importance to Zhang Zifeng's defense, but it does not mean that it can block Zhang Zifeng's offense. We all know that for those pitchers who are good at running positions, it is better to directly restrict playmakers than to restrict them. Parker The injury caused Duke to lose the strongest breakthrough player, which is beneficial to North Carolina.” Van Gundy Jr. analyzed from another aspect.

Zhang Zifeng faced Warren with the ball.

Warren didn't understand Zhang Zifeng a little bit. The pre-match information clearly showed that he had no ability to take the initiative to attack.

Soon, Zhang Zifeng told Warren with practical actions what he was going to do.

Zhang Zifeng's shoulders swayed, and along with his body swaying from side to side, he suddenly accelerated and broke through to the right.

Just as Warren took a step laterally, Zhang Zifeng pulled the ball back to his left hand.

Cut left and dribble two steps, jump up and shoot.

The ball is in the air, spinning and flying towards the basket.

The ball hit the basket and still tenaciously fell into the net.

Seeing the goal scored, Zhang Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the first time Zhang Zifeng used this trick in an official arena since he came to the United States, and he felt a little uneasy.
Luckily I got in!

Zhang Zifeng can dribble and make a jump shot, and he often uses this trick to grab points in Huaxia.

But when he arrived at Duke's on-campus training, Zhang Zifeng found that the body was very confrontational here. Under the oppression of the opponent, he often hit the iron on his dribble and jump shots, and his shooting percentage was very poor.

So I didn't use this trick in the previous official games. After all, I was just a substitute who couldn't even guarantee playing time, so I didn't dare to waste opportunities.

There is really no other way now, Zhang Zifeng can only gamble.

This bastard Chinese actually scored a goal in front of him.

Watching the ball fall from the Nets, Warren cursed the assistant coach who gave him information.

What does it mean not to take the initiative to attack, what does it mean to only shoot, this damn dribble stop jump shot is my eyes dazzled.

Warren was furious.

He didn't think the ball was fooled, it must be that the Chinese had concealed his strength and fooled Lao Tzu.

Old K was so happy to see Zhang Zifeng dribbled the ball and scored a jump shot.

This Chinese has always brought him too many surprises!
He's been improving, he's been working hard to improve himself.

Sure enough, Chinese people are good at learning and good at using time to improve themselves.

Next, Parvis recovered a goal for North Carolina.

However, in the next offensive round, the ball was handed over to Zhang Zifeng again.

Zhang Zifeng pretended to break through, and just took a step, but suddenly withdrew.

When Warren adjusted his body and rushed forward.

After finding the gap, Zhang Zifeng jumped up and shot. The ball flew high over Warren's arm and flew to the basket.

The ball hits the backboard and bounces into the basket.

Boom!
Swish!
Zhang Zifeng was very happy with the sound of entering the network. It seems that even the goddess of luck is standing by his side tonight.

Seeing Warren's angry face, Zhang Zifeng happily turned around and ran to the backcourt.

The enemy's pain is your own happiness!

North Carolina's offense continued to be launched from Warren's side. The one who vowed to win the championship this season bravely stood up at the most critical moment of the game.

After nearly 27 minutes of fierce fighting, Zhang Zifeng's physical strength declined, and he was a little unable to keep up with the opponent's footsteps.

Warren slammed into the inside with the ball fiercely and dunked successfully.

Warren's goal made the Duke players a little frustrated, and the point difference reached 6 points again, and Duke fell behind.

Zhang Zifeng clapped his hands and encouraged loudly, "We haven't lost yet, attack and get the points back!"

Seeing Zhang Zifeng encouraging his teammates, Old K smiled gratifiedly. He didn't expect that this Chinese man had the qualifications to be the captain, so he knew that he should encourage the team members at this time.

Zhang Zifeng ran to the frontcourt to receive the pass, protected the ball with his back and observed the situation on the field.

Watching Zhang Zifeng dribble with his back, about to turn to the right, Warren moved his footsteps, his arm still resting on Zhang Zifeng's waist.

At this moment, Zhang Zifeng suddenly turned over and kicked the ground to shoot a jumper.

Warren hurriedly provoked to block the shot, but he didn't expect that Zhang Zifeng was just a fake move.

Seeing Warren jumping in mid-air, Zhang Zifeng jumped up and bumped into him on purpose.

Zhang Zifeng, who lost his balance, threw the ball based on his impression. The ball hit the backboard and missed.

The whistle sounded, Warren fouled, and Zhang Zifeng got three free throws!

Warren wanted to cry, but this Chinese was really cunning. Not only did he hide his strength before, but now he is so good at even touching porcelain.

After receiving the ball from the referee, Zhang Zifeng took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

After easing his breathing, Zhang Zifeng started to make free throws.

All three free throws were made, and Duke University was slowly regaining the advantage with defense.

Now it's North Carolina's turn to fall into a hard fight, and Duke University's full-court press has made North Carolina scrambled.

Time is ticking, with 1 minute and 22 seconds left in the game, 74-77, North Carolina still leads.

Duke University is still 3 points behind. In addition to defending this goal, they need at least one more goal.

Old K stood on the sidelines and reminded his players loudly.

"come on!"

"Defense!"

Warren lowered his center of gravity, dribbled the ball sideways while holding Zhang Zifeng with his arm, and observed the situation on the court.

Suddenly Warren cuts hard and hard.

When Zhang Zifeng just moved to catch up, Warren turned around 360 degrees, and Zhang Zifeng couldn't keep up with his super explosive power.

When Warren got rid of Zhang Zifeng and quickly entered the inside line, with a bang, Warren knocked down Jefferson who was standing on the inside line ahead of time.

The whistle sounded, and amidst the boos of North Carolina fans, the referee made an offensive foul gesture.

Duke's possession.

Old K immediately called the last timeout, arranged his tactics, replaced Hairston and replaced Hood.

At this point in the game, no one is willing to lose.

North Carolina also worked hard up and down, the audience pressed hard, and Cook couldn't catch the ball.

Zhang Zifeng knew that scoring was the most important thing now. He knew that his physical strength was declining and he was not sure of scoring.

He offered to cover for Hood once.

Hood received the ball through the screen, went to the frontcourt, made a breakthrough with a change of direction, and threw off Pavis for a layup, 75:76.
With only 38 seconds left in the game, North Carolina still holds the ball, and the situation is still in favor of North Carolina.
