professional shooting guard

Chapter 30

Warren dribbles.

North Carolina coach Williams pressed his hands down and shouted, "Slow the ball down! (Let the ball slow down!) Slow the ball down!"

He signaled his players not to worry, controlled the tempo, and attacked under the pressure of time. Even if they couldn't make it, they had to run out of attack time, so as not to leave enough attack time for Duke.

Duke was in a hurry, and if the opponent scored another goal, the game could basically be declared over.

Time passed by seconds, and the game reached the most critical moment. The audience held their breaths and only the voice of the commentator Brin remained in the audience.

At this time, Brin's excited voice became louder, "Warren controlled the ball, and Zhang Zifeng couldn't grab the ball with several stretches."

"There are only 9 seconds left in the game. It seems that Duke's chance of winning is not great..."

"Oh, what did I see, Zhang Zifeng cramped and fell to the ground. Opportunity, Warren rushed straight to the inside!"

"Sell the cover! Zhang Zifeng didn't give up. He struggled to get up and stab Warren's ball from behind."

"Plumlee got the ball on the ground, he passed the ball to Cook, and Cook quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt!"

"Look to the left, look to the right, the teammates haven't caught up yet. There are only 5 seconds left, there is no chance, Cook is probably going to rush himself!"

"He was double-teamed by North Carolina and almost made a mistake. Cook jumped up and threw the ball hard!"

"Mistakes, at this most critical moment, Cook made a fatal mistake..."

"Oh, what did I see..."

"The Chinese came running from the backcourt to grab the ball. There were only 2 seconds left in the game. There was no time."

"One step outside the three-point line, Zhang Zifeng jumped up and shot, Zhang Zifeng shot!"

"The ball is in!"

"Lore! Zhang Zifeng used a three-pointer to kill North Carolina, and the Duke Blue Devils won!"

"The Blue Devils won. I couldn't believe my eyes. After they lost their core player, Parker, they used defense to break the difference point by point, and finally beat North Carolina!"

Seeing the goal, Zhang Zifeng jumped up excitedly and waved his fist.

After landing, Zhang Zifeng yelled at the North Carolina players, "See, this ball is for you sons of bitches!"

Fortunately, Zhang Zifeng shouted in Chinese when he was excited, and his voice was a little hoarse when he was so forgetful.

North Carolina players and fans couldn't hear what Zhang Zifeng was yelling at all, otherwise Zhang Zifeng might not want to leave the arena, and it would cause an uproar after the game.

The Duke players were crazy, whether they were the main players or the substitutes, they celebrated wildly. Jefferson jumped up and had a passionate chest-to-chest encounter with Zhang Zifeng.

"Hey, buddy, watch your body when you go back, you've become Duke's hero!"

Before Zhang Zifeng realized what Jefferson meant, he was under the pressure of other teammates.

The always gentle and gentle Mr. K clenched his fists, "YES!"

Williams walked towards Old K with a displeased expression on his face, and said blankly. "Mike, I apologize for Jabari's injury, but this is part of the game, and hopefully we can still play friendly in the next game."

After speaking, Williams stretched out his right hand.

Enduring his nausea, Old K also reached out his hand and shook Williams, and when his hand touched them both, he let go and turned to walk away.

When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, North Carolina fans stood there dumbfounded. They never believed that North Carolina would lose to Duke at home.

As losers, the North Carolina players were dejected.

Coach Williams comforted his players one by one. After comforting them, Williams asked them all to go to the locker room, and he stayed to deal with the reporters.

Duke's match against North Carolina has always been the focus of the NCAA match. The three major American newspapers "USA Today", "New York Post" and "Washington News" all sent reporters over.

They surrounded Williams, pointed the microphone at him, and said, "Williams, what did you think of today's game?"

"The players played very well today. The main responsibility for the loss lies with me. I underestimated the Chinese, so I paid a heavy price. We played well at the beginning, but as we played later, they seemed to forget what to do. Keep your form, you know, once you lose the rhythm of the game, it is very difficult to get back. But this is not counted, it is just a game, I believe that next time we will definitely bring the victory back to North Carolina!"

Williams pondered for a while, and continued, "The most commendable in this game is the Chinese Zhang Zifeng, who scored 24 points and 5 assists. His consecutive scoring at critical moments helped Duke turn the situation around. Excellent performance on both offensive and defensive ends, almost saved Duke University by himself. I think he is more versatile and better than Parker. He is definitely the most powerful shooting guard in the NCAA. I am optimistic about his future in the NBA..."

Hearing Williams' praise of Zhang Zifeng, Old K couldn't help cursing, "FUCK!"

This damned bastard, he wants to trick me even if he loses!
Williams seems to be an absolute endorsement of Zhang Zifeng, but what is better than Parker!

What did Parker think after hearing it?What do the other teammates think?
What is the most powerful shooting guard in the NCAA!
What will the shooting guards of other teams think, you are the best shooting guard, so what am I?If I don't blow you up, how can I compete for this year's NBA draft.

Williams wasn't making praises at all, it was pushing Zhang Zifeng to the grill.

Now that Parker is injured, Duke still has to rely more on Zhang Zifeng's performance during this time. Old K absolutely doesn't want Zhang Zifeng to be noticed by other teams so quickly, and he doesn't want to ruin the current good team atmosphere.

This is something he absolutely does not want to see.

Those reporters are all good people, how could they fail to recognize Williams' intentions, and instantly knew how to write today's content.

After interviewing Williams, those reporters surrounded Old K again.

"Mike, can you tell me your opinion of this game?"

"Of course, I don't agree with Williams. The victory of the game is the role of the team. Every player contributes to the team's victory. It's like Rodney. Hood's layup at the last moment will close the score. Hood we lost long ago. Jefferson is an important guy on our team, without him fighting in your paint, we would not have won. Of course Zhang Zifeng contributed to our victory, he did a good job. But I don’t think he is the best shooting guard in the NCAA, he doesn’t have many offensive methods, his shooting is unstable, etc. Zhang Zifeng still has a long way to go...”

Old K was busy with the aftermath, and the Duke players walked into the locker room, cleaned up briefly, and were ready to go back.

Winning the game, but there are not many Blue Devils fans on the scene to share the joy. Duke players can't wait to answer Duke University now and celebrate the victory with the Blue Devils fans.

When I sat on the school bus and left the North Carolina gate, there were still North Carolina fans chasing and cursing behind me.

"What a bunch of crazy guys!" Cook complained, looking at the North Carolina fans who were scolding behind him.

Jefferson said with a smile on his face, "Hey, that's because we defeated them. For a long time, North Carolina fans have been ridiculed by Duke fans. If you walk on the street and meet Blue Devils fans, They're all going to be dwarves. Hahaha..."

Hearing Jefferson's explanation, it's not difficult for Zhang Zifeng to understand why North Carolina fans are so angry.

Still, who cares!
