While Zhou was sitting on the sidelines to rest, the Georgetown University boys fought back strongly under the leadership of Jeff Green.

Stanford played steadily, Ricksnoe was firmly in control of the tempo, and the attack was very patient, almost every round was almost in the countdown to stall for time.

Even so, Georgetown narrowed the deficit to three points before halftime.

That's a dangerous score.

"As is customary...... Stanford's Little Tiger won't be back on the field until at least the final minutes of the second half. That gave Georgetown plenty of time to extend the score, and by the time he got on, the game had turned into garbage time. ESPN's moderator finally got his face back: "Fitness is a matter that determines the ceiling of players, and from this point of view, we can draw a precise conclusion... The upper limit of the weekly positive is not high. ”

"If Zhou Zheng couldn't play 20 minutes in the NCAA, then in the NBA, I guess he could only play five or six minutes. The draft expert on the side echoed: "No rebuilding team would pick a point guard who can only play five or six minutes in that important lottery pick." ”

"Fitness is a serious problem, the NBA has a very tight and long schedule, and without a strong physical reserve, you can't play from the first game of the regular season to the last game. Patrick Ewing also emphasized this point, as long as it does not involve his son, his remarks are relatively objective.

ESPN's anchor station sang about Zhou Zheng's future, but Zhou Zheng sat on the bench with Erlang's legs crossed, very relaxed.

His physical fitness problems have been almost solved, since Adidas joined the training team, after more scientific training and scientific diet, his physical fitness has improved a lot, and... The state of physical reserves is much better than before.

He played almost fifteen minutes in the first half today and had a lot of confrontations, he didn't feel very tired, much better than he did at the beginning of the season.

The reason why he chose to take the break was completely because he wanted to create a trick for his next opponents, so that they would take their fitness problems into account, and then hit them by surprise...... Soldiers don't get tired of cheating!

Sani is the only one who knows about this situation, and the assessment given to her by Adidas' professional team is that Zhou Zheng's current situation is definitely not a problem to play 30 minutes under the intensity of the NCAA, although in the NBA, this data needs to be discounted by one and a half.

But... Isn't there still a long time to improve?

They believe that with Zhou Zheng's speed, when the NBA starts next season, his physical support for about 20 minutes will definitely not be a problem.

After a twenty-minute break, Zhou Zheng's physical strength had recovered to fullness. (Note: The NCAA Division I halftime break can be extended to 20 minutes.) ）

But instead of coming on immediately, he sat on the bench and watched his teammates play.

After nearly five minutes of play, Stanford went from leading by three points to trailing by four points.

Drip!

Sani called a timeout.

After the timeout, Zhou Zheng returned to the court, while Roy Hibbert on the opposite side also returned.

Zhou Zheng returned to the court and immediately launched a fast-break offensive.

After quickly shaking off Jonathan Wallace's defense, another pull-up jump shot came...... Bang!

But basketball didn't go in!

This is to be expected, but... Zhou Zheng's momentum still worries Georgetown. They're not afraid of point guards who can pass the ball, and they're not afraid of point guards who can score, but they're really afraid of point guards who can pass and steal points.

Joy Hibbert, who had just returned to the court, was also a little cold, his back-to-back singles were not successful, and even in the face of noodles like Rock Jamison, he still didn't put the basketball in the basket.

Despite resting off the pitch for so long, Hibbert's strength still hasn't recovered to its peak.

This guy's physical fitness has always been a problem, but everyone didn't expect it to be even more serious than Zhou Zheng.

After Carl Landry grabbed the rebound, he quickly handed the ball to Zhou Zheng, and Zhou Zheng started a fast break like mercury when he received the basketball, Jonathan Wallace followed Zhou Zheng, but when he followed a step outside the three-point line in the front court, Zhou Zheng used James White's cross cover to leave him behind.

Ewing Jr. hurriedly stepped forward to make up for the defense, and Zhou Zheng ran into the penalty area with him, and instantly Georgetown's defensive system was messed up.

Zhou Zheng threw the basketball directly from the penalty area and passed it outside, and Kate Vincent raised his hand to shoot the basketball after receiving it...... Swish!

Basketball arrested!

George's defensive system collapsed due to Zhou Zheng's desire to attack, and they could have recklessly given up the distance from Zhou Zheng's three-point line to the restricted area, but now they can only break up the defense...... And this time it was dispersed, and the crimson storm had a gap to take root and sprout.

As the Crimson Storm opens, Georgetown's vulnerabilities become more and more apparent, and Joey Hibbert's physical strength is constantly being consumed needlessly in the desperate chase battle, and... Georgetown's holes on the outside have finally been highlighted, and neither Jonathan Wallace nor Ewing Jr. has the finishing ability to finish in one fell swoop.

Stanford found their superstar, while Georgetown didn't.

Thereupon... The balance of the game tilted instantly, and it completely tilted in favor of the Crimson team by an exaggerated amplitude.

From the tenth minute of the second half, Georgetown University was defeated in a flash flood trend.

Completely lost the power to parry!

This completely lost the voices of the three people on the ESPN stage, and they didn't know what to say again, because every word they said meant a slap in the face to what they had said before.

With five minutes left, Zhou Zheng deliberately pretended to be out of breath and returned to the bench.

Do a full set of plays.

Although the Georgetown players saw the big nemesis on the opposite side walking off the court tiredly, they had lost the fighting spirit to chase the score, and the score difference in front of them was too big, and the data of 21 points made Thompson III have to replace the substitute players and announce the surrender!

For this young team made up of freshmen, losing in the Final Four is not a failure, and they have a bright future ahead of them, with at least three years to chase their dreams.

So... Many fans in the stadium have already held up signs with words of encouragement.

They hope that the lads in Georgetown will not be discouraged, the Final Four is already a bright spot, and they are proud enough.

"All the people on both teams should leave this arena with their chests up. Patrick Ewing couldn't help but say something sensational: "The boys in Georgetown don't need to cry, they have already done a miracle this year, they broke into the Final Four as an absolute dark horse, I am proud of them!

Soon, the game was over.

At the final whistle, the crowd stood up and cheered for Georgetown University, and even streamers fell from the arena. Thompson III and his entire squad stood in the center of the stadium and bowed to the fans on all sides to say goodbye to their 04-05 season.

"I thought they were winners. James White said with some annoyance.

Zhou Zheng glared at him, and he quickly closed his mouth.

Then, Zhou Zheng turned around and led the Stanford players to the players' tunnel, giving up the stadium to the Georgetown players and their fans.

When Zhou Zheng walked into the players' tunnel, ESPN's courtside reporter stopped Zhou Zheng and asked him immediately: "Congratulations on your successful advance to the finals." But we found that you didn't celebrate after the victory, but led the players out of the pitch in silence, why is that?"

"The meaning of the game ended at the moment when the whistle blew, and we didn't want to create unpleasantness for others on their doorstep. We're back at Stanford for our celebrations, but here's... Home in Georgetown. ”
