Chapter 9 Fighting the Blue Devils (please collect, ask for tickets)
Three days passed by.

On October [-]th, the Devil's Deacon team arrived at Duke University's Cameron Arena by bus.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the game between the Devil's Deacons and the Duke Blue Devils, a well-known strong team in the Atlantic Coast League, officially began.

This game no longer received as little media attention as the first game.

Produced by Duke, it must be a high-quality product.

This is a widely circulated sentence in the NBA.

Although Duke University players cannot become superstars after entering the NBA, Duke students who pay attention to team spirit must be the perfect championship puzzle.

Such as Lol et Deng, Chris Duhon, Sean Battier, JJ Redick and many more.

However, in college, the personal abilities of Duke University players are still quite strong.

Moreover, the Duke Blue Devils have a top coach Krzyzewski who is well-known throughout the American basketball world, that is, Old K.

And as a well-known sports university in the United States, the basketball atmosphere is much stronger than Wake Forest University.

The best proof is that when Jiang Yan and his group came to Duke University by bus, they also enjoyed the 'respect' given by the Duke Blue Devils to their opponents!
Of course, this 'respect' is a Duke fan term.

After lunch, Jiang Yan and the others rested for a while before starting pre-match training.

One is to make the shooting feel hot, so that the shooting feel will not be poor when it comes to the game.

The second is to familiarize yourself with the venue.

When a person goes to a strange place, he will always feel uncomfortable, but it is always better to come here a few hours in advance to familiarize himself with the field.

The third is to prevent accidents.

If the game is about to start, if you rush over in a hurry, if there is an accident in the middle, wouldn't you be unable to participate in the game?

When Jiang Yan and the others were training, Duke Blue Devils players were also training there.

However, the Devil Deacons and the Duke Blue Devils each occupy half of the court and do not interfere with each other.

I thought everything was going well, but unexpectedly there was a conflict!

When Jiang Yan was shooting the basket, a person came from Duke. This person was about the same height as Jiang Yan, but the naked thick arms showed that this person was excellent in physical fitness.

"You are Yan? It is said that people in your school gave you a nickname, the light of the tree?"

"?" Jiang Yan looked at the idiot in front of him in confusion, because he only saw two nostrils.

When did I have this title, why didn't I know it?

"Who are you?" Jiang Yan wanted to button her nose.

"who I am?

You remember, my name is Austin Rivers, the great shooting guard of Duke University! "

Austin Rivers, former Celtics meritorious coach Doc Rivers.

In the last life, Austin Rivers was selected by the Orleans Hornets with the tenth pick in the first round through his father's relationship.

Later, after Doc Rivers took control of the Clippers' trading rights, he even got his son to the Clippers.

However, no matter how much you give Little Rivers a chance, the mud will not be able to support the wall after all.

In 2017, after Chris Paul chose to leave the Clippers, Doc Rivers also lost the trust of the Clippers owner and was later traded away from the Clippers.

From the beginning to the end, Rivers Jr. relied on his father, whether he entered the NBA or played in the NBA.

So in the last life, Little Rivers was also hacked miserably.

Jiang Yan looked at Doubi in front of him, he was very helpless, but sensibly ignored Little Rivers.

There is a good saying: "If a dog bites you, you can't bite it back, but you can whip him!"

Immediately said: "Get out!"

Then he continued to shoot the basketball in his hand, looking for the touch of the shot, leaving only Austin standing there blinking his fish eyes.

"Yellow-skinned boy, you haven't answered my question yet?" Austin was a little annoyed.

When a person desires to be noticed, but is ignored by others, that feeling can be said to be very uncomfortable.

After hearing Austin's roar, the other members of the Devil's Deacon team gathered around Jiang Yan, thinking that Austin had come to them to fight!
Austin couldn't help feeling guilty when he looked at the menacing Devil Deacon team.

The Duke Blue Devils on the other side also discovered the situation here, and they all thought that Jiang Yan and the others were going to bully Austin, so they also came here.

"What are you doing? Do you want to fight?" Duke Blue Devils team captain Intriel stood in front of Austin and yelled at Jiang Yan and the others.

"Wait, we have to speak clearly!" Jiang Yan came between the two parties and said calmly.

There is still more than an hour before the competition. If everyone fights, the competition will probably not be able to be played!
"Okay!" Intellier looked at the people on both sides, so thanks to his interesting reason, he immediately agreed with Jiang Yan's opinion

Jiang Yan and Intelel calmed down the emotions of the players of the two teams. As for Austin, he was already hiding behind the Duke Blue Devils.

"First of all, my name is Jiang Yan. In fact, it wasn't what we were going to do just now, but your teammates came here to provoke me. Of course, I didn't answer him, and then he yelled at me, and my teammates came here. Yes!" Jiang Yan succinctly told Intellier what happened.

Intellier naturally didn't say anything after hearing this, and the conflict between the two teams disappeared invisible.

However, the members of the two teams held a sigh of relief in their hearts, wanting each other to look good.

However, about the almost fight, the players on both sides tacitly did not tell the coaches and concealed the matter.

After that, the two teams practiced the ball safely and steadily.

An hour later, fans from Duke University came to the arena one after another.

Of course, Wake Forest also had some fans, including Jiang Meiqi.

She still took the ticket from Jiang Yan.

Originally, Jiang Yan didn't want to talk to her and stayed away from her.

As the saying goes, a strong girl is afraid of being entangled by a man, so no matter how hard-hearted a man meets a pestering little goblin like Jiang Meiqi, he will surrender obediently, let alone Jiang Yan.

"Jiang Yan!" As soon as Jiang Meiqi sat on her seat, she greeted Jiang Yan who was shooting there.

Jiang Yan didn't intend to go over to say hello at all.

.........

Jiang Yan and her teammates stood in the player tunnel, and Jeff stood in front of them.

This time, since they are not at home, the Devil Deacon team will not go out until the players from the Duke University Blue Devils go out.

Jiang Yan could hear the tsunami-like cheers outside from the tunnel, which was louder than the fans of the previous team.

At this moment, Jeff who was in front of Jiang Yan turned around, looked at Jiang Yan, and asked, "Yan, are you nervous?"

Jiang Yan nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Indeed, he is a little nervous now, this is not the home game after all, and hearing the tsunami-like shouts outside, Jiang Yan is a little scared.

"It's okay, you just need to treat it as a home game, don't pay attention to the voices of those fans waiting, just be yourself!
Come, learn from me, take a deep breath..."

Jeff tried his best to comfort Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan is the key to victory in this game.

According to the video of the last game between Duke and the Tar Heels of North Carolina State University, Jeff found that Duke University was not strong this season.

The Duke Blue Devils this season have relied on their shooting guard's drive and power forward Miles Pranglim's shot.

They simply don't have the perfect teamwork they've had in previous seasons.

Therefore, for Wake Forest this season, there is a good chance to enter the NCAA 64 and participate in March Madness.

As for the relevant tactics, he and Jiang Yan have already emphasized.

He believes that Jiang Yan will let the Devil Deacons win a victory at Duke's home court.

"Below, coming out of the player tunnel, are the small animals that escaped from the forest—the Devil Deacon team."

The next second, everyone in Jiang Yan heard the deep voice of Duke's home announcer in the player tunnel, and what he said was obviously belittling the Devil's Deacons.

Jeff shouted to the crowd, and then took the lead to walk out of the player tunnel.

As soon as Jiang Yan walked out of the player tunnel, she heard the curses from the fans on both sides of the tunnel.

"Yellow monkey, get out of this arena!"

"Yellow-skinned monkey, come and lick my lower body!"

"Yellow-skinned monkey, what you took away today is despair!"

.........

All kinds of noise penetrated into Jiang Yan's ears, making him feel dizzy for a moment.

"Yan, are you okay!" Standing behind Jiang Yan, Williams patted Jiang Yan's shoulder and asked loudly in Jiang Yan's ear.

Jiang Yan shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

Then there is the etiquette of greeting each other, and the two sides stand in a row and shake hands one by one.

But when Jiang Yan shook hands with Austin, Austin was still talking trash in Jiang Yan's ear.

"Yellow-skinned boy, I want you to look good later!"

Jiang Yan shook her head, really naive, strength is not based on words, but by actions.

After shaking hands and greetings, it's the race.

Snowden and the opposing center stand in the middle of the field for a jump ball.

This time Snowden was more competitive and gave the ball to Williams.

The first offense is in the hands of Wake Forest.

Jiang Yan took the ball and came to the frontcourt.

It was discovered that Duke University was playing zone defense.

Zone defense means that each player performs his own duties, and each player is responsible for a specific area, which can effectively prevent the opponent's breakthrough and protect the basket.

What's more, relying on the zone defense, the defensive team can press the offensive team's offense, but the offensive team makes mistakes and counterattacks.

This is the defensive tactics used by the Spurs in the 13-14 season.

At that time, in the finals, the Spurs relied on zone defense and defensive counterattacks to torture the Heat with three superstars.

At the same time, he told James that the future belongs to James, but now it belongs to Duncan and the Spurs!

However, zone defense has a big flaw, that is, it is afraid of three-point shooters.

Jiang Yan doesn't know what a well-known coach in the United States thinks. Doesn't he know that the Devil Deacon team is not a team that relies on breakthroughs to score, but a team that relies on shooting?
He gave a thumbs up to his teammates on the field.

In the tactics of the Devil Deacon team, this is a running and shooting tactic with Williams as the core.
