When the two teams shook hands after the game, the Arizona players looked at Hoggist with a change in their eyes, in which Hoggist seemed to have turned into a mountain, and they themselves became smaller and smaller, and even humbly unable to raise their heads.

Hougist patted Hollis Jefferson on the shoulder and asked, "How's it going?" Interesting enough, right? The whole audience didn't guard against you, you and Stanley are doing well! ”

"Our statistics are good, but the team is too miserable, I feel really ashamed of my alma mater! This is the largest margin of semifinals in NCAA history, right? We can be regarded as nailing our alma mater to the pillar of shame with our own hands! Hollis Jefferson said with some guilt.

Hoggist reassured: "Don't care about those records, anyway, the most humiliating thing will definitely not be you!" ”

"Do you want to ...... in the final" Hollis Jefferson opened his mouth in shock, as if he could swallow a burger whole, he couldn't believe that Hougist really had such a plan.

"Where is the strength, isn't it easy to hang? What's more, Duke doesn't have my old friends, so I won't be paddling anymore on both ends of the floor! Hougist said lightly.

"Brother, let's not talk about anything else, you made 10 of 12 three-pointers this time, do you call this a stroke?" Hollis Jefferson's heart is dripping blood, it's really better than people to die, and goods have to be thrown away! Isn't it even serious to hit such a high hit rate?

Hoggist Yun smiled lightly, "What is it like for me to play seriously, please look forward to tomorrow night's game." ”

Hoggist seems to be a little underestimated for the finals, and when he returns to the hotel at night, he is full of thoughts about the brokerage company, although he told Joseph during the day that he should concentrate on playing regardless of the company's operation, but this brokerage company is his own work after all, and Hougist always wants to design a grand blueprint for it.

I didn't expect this research to be a night, after thinking about which potential players to sign and what kind of endorsement advertisements, the sky was a little bright, Hoggist looked at the wall clock, and unconsciously it was 5 o'clock in the morning, Hougist remembered that there was still one of the most important games to play at night, although he was full of confidence in defeating the opponent, but he stayed up all night and worked hard for so long, if he still didn't rest during the day, Hoggist was more worried about whether he would die suddenly.

Horgist turned off his phone, hung the Do Not Disturb sign at the door, and fell asleep. However, this sleep has been sleeping until the afternoon, half-asleep and half-awake the door was opened by someone from the outside, several big men rushed into the house, and couldn't help but say that they would set up Haugist and leave, Haugist was so frightened that he woke up at once, and he couldn't tell who this group of people was, and shouted miserably: "Help! Kidnap a big star in broad daylight! ”

As soon as he finished shouting, he was covered by the big man beside him, and Hoggist felt that he was going to die this time. As the so-called tree is a big move, it seems that his performance on the court is too eye-catching, which affects the interests of some people, so he will be kidnapped! This time, it seems that there is less luck, and I have to find a way to find some clues for the police to solve the case.

Only then did Hoggist begin to secretly and seriously look at the two big men who were driving him. Both of them wore big sunglasses, and they couldn't see their looks clearly from the side, but Hougist always felt a little familiar, especially the person on the left, who was taller and stronger than himself, and didn't have a neck, this appearance was too distinctive, I'm afraid there would never be a second person in this world who looked like this, this is not Ryan. Which else could Witherspoon be?

The white man on the right has thick blonde hair, and he walks like Donald Duck, and eighty percent of them are big white and soft! But why did they kidnap themselves? I didn't expect to train with them in high school, but I didn't see that they were moles, and they were too deep!

Just as Hoggist was thinking wildly, the two suspected Witherspoon and Big White Soft took Haugist out of the hotel lobby and stuffed him into a bus. Horgeste looked at it, and the teammates and coaching staff of the Raiders were sitting in the car, could it be that his teammates had defected en masse? Hoggist could barely believe his eyes.

Hoggist looked at everyone like this, his face full of questions, but before he could speak, he was pressed into a chair by Witherspoon, "Sit down and fasten your seatbelts, it's about to start!" ”

"Departure? Where are you taking me? What the hell do you want to do? Hoggist asked anxiously.

Now it was everyone's turn to look at Hoggist with puzzled eyes, and the suspicious eyes of the twenty-odd people stared at Hogist's back in a cold sweat.

At this time, McCaw spoke, "Boss, are you sleeping?" What time is it, it's time for us to go to the game! Everyone has been sitting in the car for more than half an hour, just waiting for you! Well, you're still in the mood to sleep! ”

Only then did Hoggist react, it was already sunset, and his teammates had already arrived, of course, they were going to play. I slept in the dark, missed the meeting time, and was still immersed in my sleep, thinking that I had been kidnapped, if I let everyone know the truth, it would be disgraced, and the character of the "otherworldly master" who had worked hard for many years would completely collapse.

Calm down, Hoggist slept in the saddle and fell asleep again, until the bus came to a stop in the underground parking lot of the Lucas Oil Arena, and Hougist was completely awake. In the pre-game warm-up, Hougist showed an unprecedented seriousness attitude, practicing the changes of blocking and attacking with Turner one by one, and Hoggist's sudden seriousness not only surprised the opponent, but even his teammates felt a little inexplicable.

"Boss, Duke isn't much better than Kentucky, is he? Why are you so serious today? McCaw asked curiously.

"In the NCAA, there are no serious opponents at all!" Hogist said confidently.

"That's right! But you're serious now! McCaw said helplessly, the boss seems to be out of shape today! Chatting with him from the bus, he had some unanswered questions, and now he has begun to speak, could it be a fever? Thinking of this, McCaw actually reached out and touched Hoggist's forehead.

Hougist opened McCaw's hand and explained: "There are no opponents worthy of our seriousness in the NCAA, but there are many games worthy of our seriousness, such as tonight's finals, even the NBA games can't steal our ratings, so every year on the day of the NCAA finals, the NBA is forced to give way to us in order to avoid its edge, but the NBA has found a high-sounding reason, in the name of supporting college basketball." Wouldn't we be able to show our best for a national and global audience? Only by giving a wonderful performance in such a competition can you attract a large number of fans, you know? ”

McCaw nodded incomprehensibly, and Hougist pointed to the sidelines, and continued, "And look at the row on the sidelines!" ”

McCaw looked in the direction Hougist was pointing, and the courtside was filled with Duke University NBA alumnus. Owen, J.J. Reddick, Jabari. Parker, Ronnie. Hood, Austin. Rivers, Egg Tart. Jones, Dunleavy Jr., Lore. Deng. Those who are a little bit famous all run to cheer for their alma mater despite the hard schedule.

On the other side of the audience, there are almost no active NBA stars among the fans of UNLV, only the famous "Big Mom" Larry. Johnson sat there alone, Bennett, the champion of the previous two years, has recently disappeared, but he also came to boo the team, and Bennett is almost a street rat.

"Look at the huge cheering group on the other side, how many of us have seen so many NBA stars at one time? Does their aura affect our morale very much? So I have to take the lead in serious preparation, mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, so that everyone can give their best performance on the field to beat their opponents, and the victory will be ours, and the fans will be ours! Hougist dissolved McCaw's doubts.

"Boss, you're so domineering!" McCaw and the others couldn't help but warm up seriously.

When you do something seriously, time always flies, and before you know it, it's game time, because Duke has a lot of NBA stars, so tonight's entrance ceremony Hoggist they lost to their opponents in terms of cheers for the first time in history, and every player in Duke, even the substitute players, received cheers far more than the main players of UNLV.

The UNLV players are not used to this kind of treatment, and there is some anxiety in their mentality, and everyone is holding their breath to learn Duque a lesson.

At the beginning of the game, Turner still lost to Okafor in the jump ball, Duke University took the lead in attacking, and senior captain Quinn. Cook breaks through and hits a left-handed throw. Vaughn dribbled to the frontcourt, Haugist took the initiative at the top of the arc to ask for the ball, and Turner came up to cover Haugist according to the tactics he had rehearsed beforehand. Hougist could easily get rid of Winslow on his own, and could even use his height advantage to shoot directly above Winslow's head, but before the game, in order to make the team win more beautifully, he decided to score in the most reasonable way possible, so he practiced the blocking attack with Turner.

Of course, the pick-and-roll offense, as a tactical tool, tends to do more with less with half the effort with a strong individual ability bonus, and Hoggist cut behind Turner and hit a quick three-point shot with color.

Duke started to give the ball to Okafor on the offensive end, but Turner used his stunt to create Okafor's offensive foul. Then on the offensive end, he used his pick-and-roll combination with Hougist to hit a mid-range shot.

To the cheers of the crowd, Okafor quickly responded in the following round. Jones missed the shot, and Okafor grabbed the rebound and scored two points.

Although Duke's "home court advantage" is obvious, but Horgist's use of his unsolvable offensive ability to make him and Turner's blocking and dismantling unsolvable, Horgist's perimeter projection is accurate, and the use of cover to get open opportunities is almost missile, and if Duke does a good job of packing Haugistt in advance, then Horgist's elusive pass can always find the empty Turner, and the blocking and dismantling cooperation of the two even reminds some fans of the two Utah elders who dominated the entire West with blocking and dismantling in the 90s of the last century.

The game went into its first timeout after five minutes, with Duke scoring 10 points while UNLV was playing well compared to themselves, scoring 20 points. The Duke Blues only have Okafor as a father and a mother, and they can grasp the offense and defense, while the other star player, Winslow, has achieved nothing under the defense of Haugist, and has become the kind of spectator who is the envy of all fans.

Halfway through the first half, UNLV took the lead in replacing the main force with 47:40 to close the gap to 11 points.

With three minutes left in the first half, Duke replaced the physically exhausted Okafor, and UNLV re-replaced Haugist, who didn't have much effort at all and didn't need to rest at all. On the offensive end, Hougist directly took advantage of his height to hold the ball in the elbow area and singled Winslow with his back. Winslow didn't have the advantage of strength or height, and was arched into the paint by Hougist in two clicks. Horgist felt that the distance was about the same, so he arched Winslow with his back again, and directly pulled it up and dunked it violently, this hand of pure natural inside basket offensive means made the scouts of 30 NBA teams on the sidelines drool, there are three points with a back and a breakthrough, can control the ball, pass the ball and defend, Haugist is definitely a magic plus!

And Hoggist's purpose is also very clear, that is, to consume Winslow's physical strength, Winslow has been on the field in the first half, defending himself has consumed a lot of physical strength, and leading the team to play the offensive climax is also a lot of attrition, and now he strengthens his physical confrontation, and it is best to make him cramp in the remaining minutes. Even if you slow down after cramps, your athletic ability will decrease, and when you get off the field, you won't be afraid that he will lead the team to chase points!

However, Hoggist's wishful thinking failed, and after only one round, Coach K replaced Winslow. But it doesn't matter if you can't kill Winslow, the five substitutes on the current Duke court are like five little sheep in Haugist's eyes, and he can slaughter them.

Haugist had an itchy hand for a while, and then singled out three balls of his own, reopening the margin to more than 20 points to end the first half of the game.

"Boss, didn't you say you want to play reasonable basketball? How did you do it yourself? McCaw asked.

"The pure substitute lineup on the opposite side is five rookies for me, so it's reasonable to play, right?" Hougist quibbled.

"Phew, don't be ashamed, you just want to show your majesty to the scouts!" McCaw asserted.

"Phew, don't be naïve, do I need to deliberately excel if my level is so strong?" Hogist retorted.
