professional shooting guard

Chapter 97 The First Show of Power
The attendance rate of many NBA arenas is less than 7%.

But at Duke University, the game is basically full, especially in today's game against North Carolina.

All the students in the school were mobilized. The Cameron Arena was already full of Blue Devils fans. Crazy Duke fans painted their bodies blue, making the arena a blue ocean.

In many cases, fans who couldn't get tickets also flocked to the big square outside the arena to watch the big screen.

Many fans flocked to taverns and school canteens to watch the game.

But before that, they all surrounded the North Carolina bus.

When Roy Williams stepped off the bus leading the UNC Tar Heels, they were surrounded by enthusiastic Blue Devils fans.

Countless Blue Devils fans held signs and loudly insulted North Carolina players.

"Hey, donkeys. Do you remember being swept by us last season? This season Jack is stronger, and you can't win! The victory belongs to our Blue Devils!"

"I advise you to surrender obediently. We promise not to laugh at you!"

"North Carolina bitches, you're going to go home crying today!"

……

Probably because they are used to it, the North Carolina players walked quickly into the arena under the guard of the security guards.

The Duke-North Carolina game is never short of news.

The players were warming up, but the head coach of North Carolina was surrounded by a group of reporters.

Six or seven microphones were aimed at Williams, "Coach Williams, Duke swept you last season. You also spoke highly of Jack, saying that the opponent is the best NCAA shooting guard. This season, Jack is even stronger. Are you confident that you can win?"

Facing the reporters watching him, Williams said with a straight face, "

"Although Jack is stronger. But we are absolutely confident that we can defeat our opponents. The victory belongs to North Carolina!"

As the head coach of North Carolina, Williams firmly expressed his confidence in defeating his opponent.

As for what he thought in his heart, he knew it himself.

After interviewing North Carolina, these reporters saw Duke players coming, and they immediately surrounded Old K.

Old K also said confidently to the reporter, "We were able to sweep our opponents last season, and I believe we can continue to sweep them this season!"

When the Duke Blue Devils players ran out of the tunnel, the Blue Devils fans burst into cheers.

Zhang Zifeng is undoubtedly the most popular player in the Duke Blue Devils. Although he is Chinese, this does not hinder the fans here's love for Zhang Zifeng.

The one that can be seen most everywhere in the arena is Zhang Zifeng's No. 14 jersey.

When Zhang Zifeng was the last to run out of the player tunnel, the Blue Devils fans cheered him, which was quite shocking.

Huge thunderous cheers almost lifted the entire arena up.

With Duke's winning streak, Zhang Zifeng's influence among international students in the United States is also huge.

Not only the international students from Duke University, but also many international students from other universities came here to watch the game.

I heard with my own ears that when Zhang Zifeng played on the court, the Blue Devils fans shouted at him vividly.They couldn't help feeling a little emotional, "I never thought that a Chinese could be treated so grandly in an American university. It's too unbelievable. It's so crazy!"

Several friends beside him nodded. "Yes, I'm afraid not many NBA superstars have this kind of treatment!"

Tonight, as the TV station broadcasting the game live.

ESPN sent three commentators.Brin, Van Gundy, and Jackson were all sitting on the reception desk next to the technical hall in the Cameron Arena.

Brin sat in the middle and said: "Welcome everyone to watch the live broadcast brought to you by ESPN TV. What you are seeing now is the Duke Blue Devils playing at home against the North Carolina Tar Heels! I believe everyone knows the difference between Duke and North Carolina. Last season, Duke swept North Carolina under the leadership of Parker and Jack. Can Jack lead the team alone to beat North Carolina this season? Let us wait and see!"

Van Gundy interjected: "The Duke Blue Devils were blown out of the tournament last season. This season they brought in high center Okafor. Obviously, they are aiming to win this season!"

Jackson also went on to say, "North Carolina is not bad though. Last season, North Carolina was swept by Duke. This season, in order to deal with Jack, they specially recruited small forward Justin Jackson. This guy is tall and long. And defending multiple positions. Also brought in Kennedy Meeks. I'm sure they don't want to repeat the mistakes of last season!"

……

The game is about to start, and the players of the two teams stand in the middle circle of the court.

After experiencing the bloody battle against North Carolina last season, Zhang Zifeng's mentality is very stable when facing North Carolina again.

He stood calmly on the court waiting for the kick-off, but Okafor's body in front of him was a little tense.

Obviously, when the freshman heard warnings from Jefferson, Plumlee and others before the game, he was obviously a little nervous facing North Carolina.

Zhang Zifeng said softly, "Don't be nervous, just play as usual, and I will cover you if something happens. Last season, I taught those bastards a hard lesson!"

Hearing Zhang Zifeng said that he would cover himself, and thinking about his performance against North Carolina last season, Okafor relaxed a lot. "Um!"

North Carolina starters: PG: Marcus Page, SG: Rodney Pavis, SF: Justin Jackson, PF: Bryce Johnson, C: Kennedy Meek s.

Duke starters: Cook, Zhang Zifeng, Winslow, Jefferson, Okafor.

As the referee blew his whistle, the game officially began.

Okafor and Meeks jumped high in an instant, fighting for the ball.

In the next second, the ball was caught first by Okafor, and the ball flew to Duke's backcourt.

"Okafor earns the opening jumper for the Duke Blue Devils, game on!"

Zhang Zifeng ran to the backcourt to pick up the ball, dribbled it with his left hand, and signaled his teammates to run forward with his right hand.

Just after halftime, Pavis ran over.Seeing his old rival, Zhang Zifeng smiled and said, "Hey, buddy. It's you again. You haven't learned enough lessons from last season, and now you're being abused again!"

The tragic lessons of last season are still vivid in Paves' minds.If possible, he didn't want to talk to this bastard at all.

But there is no way, who told him to play the position of shooting guard.Even if you don't want to, you can only face each other.

Anyway, he made up his mind before the game, and he absolutely can't pay attention to this bastard during the game.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Zhang Zifeng continued to talk to himself. "Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you, I'm saying that all of you in North Carolina are trash. Really, you have to admit it!"

Originally, they had made up their minds to ignore the other party, but they heard this bastard actually say that North Carolina is rubbish.

Purvis couldn't help but shoot back, "You're the fucking trash, you Dukes are all trash, idiots..."

When Parvis was thinking about vocabulary and swearing, Okafor came up to do the pick-and-roll.

Zhang Zifeng took the opportunity to cut into the inside line obliquely, and Pavis was blocked and couldn't keep up.

Meeks defended, Zhang Zifeng jumped up without any hesitation, and threw the ball up with one hand!
Okafor, who followed up after the pick-and-roll, jumped high and caught the flying blue ball.

Pavis, who was more than 20 centimeters shorter, couldn't interfere with Okafor at all, and Okafor smashed the ball into the basket hard!

It had been a long time since he dunked so happily, Okafor blew his chest like an orangutan.

Van Gundy couldn't help shouting when he saw it: "A beautiful pick-and-roll cooperation + alley-oop! The cooperation between Zhang Zifeng and Okafor is really wonderful. They remind me of the big dream and the glider back then."

　It is agreed that three hundred collections will be added, and it will be done, this is the first update.
