professional shooting guard

Chapter 35
Old K took out the tactical board, and other players surrounded him.

"We have to control the tempo. When we switch from offense to defense, everyone counterattacks on the spot, and we can't let the opponent play a quick counterattack. The tempo must be suppressed, do you hear me?"

"Yes, coach!" All the players shouted in unison.

"Hood, you rest first, Hairston, you go. Jack, you play shooting guard, remember to control the rhythm!"

Hood was a little dissatisfied when he first heard that Old K arranged to leave.Now hearing that the coach actually let Zhang Zifeng be the core of the team, he threw the towel angrily and sat on the bench without saying a word.

After coaching for 30 years, what kind of player, old K has never seen.

Old K didn't care about Hood losing his temper at all.

Hood's style of play is solitary, and his ability to organize offenses is mediocre.

Zhang Zifeng has always been the core of the team in high school, controlling the ball and organizing the team's offense.

After coming to Duke University in the United States, he started to play a role player due to lack of strength.

Now old K let Zhang Zifeng be the core of the team and control the rhythm, which is not a problem for him at all.

Duke University re-attacked, and a group of people followed Zhang Zifeng's command and began to follow the tactical requirements, those who should go to the inside to block, and those who should run to move.

The team members settled down, seeing Stauskas in front of him, Zhang Zifeng made a decision in his heart.

"Hey, Jefferson... help me pick and roll" Zhang Zifeng shouted.

When Jefferson heard it, he immediately pulled out and stood beside Glenn Robinson III.

Seeing that Jefferson was in place, Zhang Zifeng continued to cover and accelerate to the right, breaking into the inside line in two steps.

As soon as he entered the inside line, Zhang Zifeng found that no one was following the interference.

When Zhang Zifeng breaks through, if someone sticks to the defense, Zhang Zifeng's shooting rate will drop significantly.

Therefore, Zhang Zifeng's current offense is mainly based on running out of open shots.

Michigan's defense wasn't great today.

Such a good opportunity, of course Zhang Zifeng will not miss it and try to take the initiative to attack.

When the opponent's power forward McGarry rushed over, Zhang Zifeng jumped up and shot, and made a hit with a swish.

Looking at the falling basketball, a sense of arrogance filled my heart, and the familiar feeling returned.

Carrying the team on his back, attacking the opponent's defense time and time again, treating the score like a bag.

Taking the initiative to attack, this is what he wants, how could I be willing to be a role player all the time!
Zhang Zifeng's goal helped Duke recover two points, 28 to 23.

The University of Michigan's offense, as soon as Glenn Robinson III received the serve, Zhang Zifeng quickly posted it to prevent him from taking the ball to advance quickly.

Without a fast break, Glenn Robinson III protected the ball and pushed slowly.

As long as the opponent can't make a quick counterattack, Zhang Zifeng doesn't care how the opponent dribbles.

Step back to your own half and set up the defensive line.

Glenn Robinson III tried several times to break through, but was blocked by Zhang Zifeng in advance.

In desperation, Glenn Robinson III had to pass the ball.

Glenn Robinson III has a strong ability to attack the rim, but Michigan's real core is shooting guard Nick Stauskas.

Nick Stauskas is 1.98 meters and 93 kg.He is one of the best scorers in the NCAA. He not only has excellent fixed-point jumper ability, but also the emergency stop jumper is his main scoring method. He has excellent decision-making ability on the court and a strong ability to use pick-and-roll.

Except that Zhang Zifeng's defense is better and Stauskas has a stable shooting rate, it can be said that Zhang Zifeng is very similar to Nick Stauskas now.

After the opponent passed several times, the basketball was handed over to the outside line. After receiving the ball, Stauskas made a three-point jumper and hit it with a bang, and the University of Michigan led by 3 points.

30: 23.

"OHOHOH" the audience cheered, they have seen too many scenes like this this season.

The fast-paced game, wonderful shots one by one, and very violent dunks one after another made them very happy to watch.

The ball went in, but Old K didn't get angry.

He knew that his players had tried their best, and he just shouted loudly while standing on the sidelines: "It's okay, just do it like this. You must limit the opponent's speed and force them to fight for positions!"

Running to the frontcourt, Zhang Zifeng lobbed the ball to Plumlee, and then ran back and forth, using Jefferson's cover, throwing away Glenn Robinson III, receiving the pass at a 45-degree angle on the right side of the outside line, Without hesitation, he made a three-pointer.

Swish, the ball goes in.

30: 26.

Zhang Zifeng raised three fingers.

Damn bastard!
Including Robinson III, players from the University of Michigan Wolverines stared fiercely at Zhang Zifeng.

Those unkind eyes?
Zhang Zifeng ran back without paying attention.

The game continued, stimulated by Zhang Zifeng's consecutive scoring, the Wolverines were eager to get back the score.

So, they kicked off quickly... But, they were a little too impatient.Passing intent is too obvious,
Zhang Zifeng intercepts the pass to Glenn Robinson III.

"Not good!" Glenn Robinson III was startled, and quickly turned around to catch up.

Zhang Zifeng made a long three-point shot.

"Asshole, I won't let you shoot." Glenn Robinson III rushed towards Zhang Zifeng.

Taking advantage of his bounce, the big hand covered Zhang Zifeng's shooting space.

Zhang Zifeng showed a sneer, and used fake moves to trick Glenn Robinson III. With a touch pass, Hairston went into the penalty area and scored 2 points for a layup.

30: 28.

Fast serve, Michigan wants to play fast counter.

Zhang Zifeng didn't agree, he caught up with Glenn Robinson III and was about to reach out to intercept, but Glenn Robinson III had already passed the ball.

The ball is passed to Stauskas, who pulls up for a jumper, swipes, and hits.

Zhang Zifeng waved his fist regretfully, just hurry up.

Running to the frontcourt and receiving the pass again, the opponent did not dare to underestimate Zhang Zifeng.

Seeing that Plumlee was already stuck inside, Zhang Zifeng put on a shooting posture, and Glenn Robinson hurriedly jumped up to block the shot.

Take back the basketball, go inside, see McGarry rushing over, and comfortably pass the ball to Plumlee, who is open inside.

Plumlee received the ball, jumped up and slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.

30: 30.

When Zhang Zifeng clapped hands with Plumlee to celebrate and then ran back, he kept looking at Hood with contempt.

That expression seemed to say, "See, you idiot. I'm the real core of the team, leading the team to victory. Just sit on the bench obediently!"

Hood sat off the court and gritted his teeth angrily, twisting the towel in his hand into a ball.

Under Zhang Zifeng's control, the pace of the game was slowed down.

Several times Michigan head coach John Beilein yelled at his players from the sidelines to pick up the pace, to no avail.

Seeing that Zhang Zifeng broke through and made another two-pointer, the head coach of the University of Michigan, John Beilein, called a timeout.

　Thank you "Waiting for you who will appear", "An Ran Xiaojian" and "Hua Qiyang" for their support!
