professional shooting guard

Chapter 78 Anxious Match
When a break-up mistake continues and strikes iron frequently.

In order to score goals, he usually rushes to attack,

The more eager to attack, the more inaccurate the shot, falling into a vicious circle.

Because his shooting rhythm has been messed up.

But when he made a shot, that anxious mentality was released,
After regaining the shooting rhythm, the goal followed.

Parker is such a situation now.

In the first half, 10 shots from 0 shots, he was under a lot of pressure, and now he scored a goal, especially in this difficult confrontation.

His whole body became more confident.

Next turn, Duke's offense.

Jefferson came up to set a pick and roll for Parker and saw that Parker was about to cut in from Glenn's side.

At this time, Kauser ran over, just blocking Parker's route.

Kauser didn't expect to be able to guard Parker.He just needs to stop Parker a bit so other players can come back.

Glenn quickly ran over and double-teamed Parker.

Parker jumped up and shot, sharp and confident!
The basketball arced high and plunged into the hoop.

When Parker ran back with his back, he raised his hands high and made a three-point gesture

While running, he looked at Zhang Zifeng, as if to say: See, my hand is coming, no one can stop me!

Zhang Zifeng was a little depressed, he really wanted to yell at him loudly, "You don't have to be so damn proud, I owe it to you to score goals!"

Although I don't really believe that Parker will pass the ball to me, but in case, if he really passes the ball, and I am not prepared, I am afraid that I will give him a chance to settle the score!

Even for that humble hope, it was also to take Dennis away and prevent him from double-teaming Parker.

Zhang Zifeng was still running non-stop, looking for opportunities.

"As long as we guard against this guy, the victory is ours!"

With this belief, Dennis spared no effort to stick to Zhang Zifeng all the time, and followed behind him like silver wherever he went.

Zhang Zifeng was competing with Dennis, competing for endurance.

Confidence can turn Parker into that super scorer again.

That same confidence has made Mercer more resilient.

Before the game, no one believed that Mercer University could beat the strong team Duke University. Everyone was discussing how many points Duke University could win and how many rounds they could reach.

Players including Mercer University don't really believe that they can beat Duke University.

But after the first half of the contest, Mercer's head coach and players found that Duke was not invincible.

Duke University also has a weakness, and they discovered this weakness early, and because of this, they led their opponents at halftime, although only by one point.

But when they saw the hope of winning.

Hope gave them strength, inspired their potential, and made them believe that they could beat the mighty Duke University.

Glenn is not as good as Parker, but he doesn't have Parker's arrogance either.

To win, Glenn will do anything, including the dirty work.

With Cook completely blocked by Glenn, Kausser sprints inside.

Cowser received the pass, used his speed and agility to make a backhand layup in front of Plumlee along the baseline.

Offensive and defensive transition, Duke's offense.

Cook saw that Zhang Zifeng was entangled by Dennis and had no good chance, so he passed the ball to Parker.

Fortunately, Parker's touch recovered, and Dennis was pulled away by Zhang Zifeng. Glenn alone was not enough to limit Parker's performance.

With Parker's scoring during this period, Duke University and Mercer University took the lead alternately.

At this point in the game, no one thought Mercer had a chance of winning.

Before the game, Mercer University fans were worried that the team would be directly beaten by Duke University in this game.

The fans of Mercer University were excited. To them, the team's performance tonight could no longer be described as just unexpected, it was simply a miraculous performance.

"Hey, Blue Devils trash! Didn't you say that you are going for the championship? Look at your performance now, do you think you can win the championship!? Don't be kidding, maybe we can, but you absolutely can't!"

Mercer fans yelled at the Duke fans in response to the taunts from the Blue Devils fans before the game.

The process of the game was not as happy as when the fans were clamoring.

In fact, if Parker hadn't been obsessed with singles in the first half, perhaps the score would never have been so anxious.

The game became more and more anxious, but the coaches of both sides did not make any more moves.

Because the players on both sides are in good condition at this time, now it depends on who can hold on, the key is...

In the 9th minute of the second half, old K replaced Zhang Zifeng.

When Zhang Zifeng left the field, Old K patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take a break, I still need your strength in the end!"

When Parker makes a mistake and the opponent hits a quick counterattack, Zhang Zifeng often has to sprint back to defend.

When attacking, he had to use running positions to create space. After playing for nearly 10 minutes, Zhang Zifeng was so tired that he didn't even want to say anything. He nodded and sat on a chair, wiped his face with a towel, and drank heavily. water.

For Mercer University, Dennis also took a break.

Coach Smith also patted himself and praised, "Good defense, kid!"

Zhang Zifeng is off, although Dennis is also off.But Tinsley, who was replaced by Mercer University, obeyed the coach's arrangement and decisively double-teamed Parker.

Parker still went his own way in the game, and he continued to attack the Mercer University defense, as if it was indefatigable.

Although Parker's touch has returned, his shooting percentage is not high when he is double-teamed.

Parker was disturbed for a layup and hit the iron.

Kostic grabs a good position, squeezes Plumlee to grab a rebound, and he throws hard-a long pass to launch a counterattack!
The ball flew straight across the half court and into the hands of Cowser.

Cook chased desperately.

Unfortunately, Kauser ran a few steps ahead of Cook, and Cook couldn't catch up.

Kauser made a layup.

Glenn catches, drives, passes.

Or use your body to block the shooting space for your teammates.

With Glenn as the pivot, Mercer played methodically and scored consecutively.

55:61. Mercer leads by 6.

The old coach K looked up at the game time, and there were only 9 minutes left.

In the single-match elimination system, Old K would not dare to let Parker go it alone.

No matter how wide the score is, it will be very difficult to equalize the score at the last moment.

This kind of time is completely contrary to what he arranged, but the current situation is a bit dangerous, and old K can only call Zhang Zifeng over.

Zhang Zifeng didn't have much time to rest on the bench, he replaced Parker, and was replaced by the head coach Old K on the field again.

In the 11th minute of the second half, Zhang Zifeng went into battle again!
