Chapter 13: The Second Battle of North Carolina

Last season, O'Neal was the scoring champion, Olajuwon was the champion, the battle between the two centers was full of sparks, and between the games, Jessica ate French fries and asked Tiger next to him: "Son, will you participate in the draft in advance?" ”

"Not for at least 2 years!" Tiger shook his head, thought for a moment and said, "In the last game against Duke, I found that I still had a big problem, when the opponent was physically harassing, it was difficult to maintain the consistency of the movement, and the defense was terrible. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoI still need time to train and improve my abilities. And Mom, I want to get my degree and then leave. ”

"Tiger don't push yourself too hard, you've done a great job, overtraining will also increase your injuries, son, don't you pay the most attention to protecting your body, preventing injuries, and maintaining a good competitive condition? The idea that you want to get a degree, great! Mom has your back. ”

"Don't worry! Mom. I'll be mindful that I just think the NBA is too intense, and the teams are relatively closed, and a lot of the teams have medical care that's just veterinarians. So exercise more, lest in the future, when you go to the NBA, because of the confrontation problem, you will appear in the injured lineup for a long time. ”

Listening to Tiger's words, Jessica frowned and asked in disbelief, "Are the medical facilities in the NBA so bad?" ”

"Mom is not bad in every team, but there will always be some, after all, most bosses are to make money, they don't invest too much money in medical care."

After listening to Tiger's words, Jessica didn't look forward to Tiger's NBA so much, but after thinking about it for a while, Jessica looked at Tiger who was watching the game seriously and had some preliminary thoughts in her heart.

In the Christmas game, Fat had 22 points and 18 rebounds, and Hardaway had 22 points and 10 assists to help the Magic defeat Olajuwon's Rockets 92-90. After the game, Jessica stretched and said to Tiger, "I'm going to rest first, what about you, son?" ”

"I'll go to Jason's place to sleep, I've got his key, you go and rest!"

"Oh well! Good night son! ”

"Good night! Mom. ”

Jessica went to Tiger's bedroom to rest, and Tiger lay on the couch, looking at the ceiling of the living room, and a scene from the party came to mind. He didn't really want to do that, but he felt very disgusted when he saw Tracy with a Han face, doing some completely Westernized behaviors, and losing the subtlety and restraint of the Han people. As a former Han Chinese, he is deeply proud and proud to be a Chinese.

Unconsciously, he remembered Zhang Hong from his previous time in Atlanta. Although she was only a maid in the Tiger family, she was the first Chinese person Tiger came into contact with in the United States, and she showed some excellent inheritance of those Han women such as subtlety, gentleness, hard work, wisdom, etc. It's an indescribable beauty, even though she's middle-aged, but in Tiger's eyes, it's still much more beautiful than today's Tracy.

These days, after some of Duncan's efforts to strengthen the popularization of American customs and education, Tiger decided that he would have the opportunity to return to China in the future, or find a girlfriend there, and women who grew up in the United States were not suitable for him. With this thought, Tiger thought of Liu Jing from before. I wonder what she looks like now? What would I do if I had the chance to meet her?

After the Christmas break, Jessica says goodbye to Tiger and gets on a plane to New York, where she is going to work on her job. After Tiger said goodbye to Jessica, he found Mark and told him about some of his feelings in the last game, and Mark helped him arrange for a small player in the team, Hart, to join in the confrontation training. During the training, Mark asked Hart to harass Tiger with his body as much as possible, and asked Tiger not to use his strength to push Hart, but to rely on technical movements as much as possible to complete the breakthrough and shooting. This is a new attempt for Tiger, who has always relied on some physical strength to play, and Tiger readily accepted it. And Hart's addition made Kurt breathe a sigh of relief, one more person to be abused with him, he could be much easier, he just needed to keep attacking to help Tiger improve his defensive training.

At the beginning of the new game, many teams learned from the game at Duke University, and the defense of Tiger was replaced by small players, mainly physical harassment. However, I don't know if it's because of the recent targeted training, or if the players from other teams haven't fully played the defensive essence of Duke University's Wojciechofski, so the results are not ideal. Wake Forest University has embarked on a winning streak from the ground up.

While the media began to sing the praises of Wake Forest University again, they began to look forward to the final round of the Wake Forest University and Duke University competition. And whether Duke University's Wojciechovsky, who has attracted everyone's attention because of his defense of Tiger, can continue to defend against Tiger, has become the focus of discussion. The game against Duke University is the final game of the regular season, and before that, Wake Forest University will play a game at home against North Carolina.

On February 3, 1996, at Wake Forest University's Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum, the Wake Forest team will host the University of North Carolina today. The stadium was filled with spectators early in the morning, and the fans were wearing Wake Forest's antique gold jerseys, holding team posters, and shouting loudly to cheer for the Wake Forest team.

The game started at six o'clock, and the lineups of the two sides did not make much adjustment, but today the person who defended Tiger was replaced by Deck, and it is obvious that the University of North Carolina is also ready to use a small player to defend Tiger, but the effect is not good, today Tiger played very reasonably, and did not entangle with Delcort, Cott, who was recently abused by Tiger, ushered in an outbreak on the field, his breakthrough has improved a lot, Carter's defense still has a big problem, and it can't limit Cott, Tiger took the initiative to give the ball to Cott, and Tiger began to run. Shot up a positional three-pointer.

On the Wake Forest University side, there is still Tiger to defend Carter, Carter's first step is too fast, Kurt can't keep up with his speed at all, only Tiger can keep up with Carter's speed, and Tiger also wants to test the results of recent training, so he puts a lot of energy on defense. Carter can obviously feel that Tiger's defense has improved a lot compared to the previous game, and when he thinks of his defense, he was unscrupulously broken through by a role player on the other side. Carter's mentality began to be a little impatient, and North Carolina's offense began to play more and more simply, completely losing cooperation, single, catching and shooting, Jason and Duncan began to pick up rebounds under the basket, happily brushing the data.

At the end of the first half, Wake Forest University had a 10-point lead, and the coach of the University of North Carolina entered the break room with a black face.
