Shashewski was adamant that Haugist had guessed his tactical intentions, so he was on guard. How scary would it be if the overall picture and strategic awareness were as strong as the professional coach who led Duke to the NCAA Finals ten times, won the national championship three times, and considered himself the best in the industry. But if Hoggist changed his substitute at random just in time for his deliberate change of formation, then this luck would be too rebellious, right?

In the second half, the Rushers kicked off first, and Horgist repeated his old trick, blocking Turner at the top of the arc, dribbling the ball into the interior and being defeated by Okafor and Matt. Jones's double package, Haugist distributed the ball to Turner in time, but Turner did not shoot directly, but dribbled to the basket and directly knocked over Okafor, who was recovering the defense.

The referee's whistle blew, because Okafor had not yet stood firm when the defense moved sideways, so he was blown for a blocking foul, and Quinn came up and pulled up Okafor, "Brother, our tactic is to make a foul on Horgeist, not a foul on Turner, not a foul on yourself!" ”

"Don't mention it, I made a mistake." Okafor said dejectedly.

"Every minute and every second counts now, and we can't afford to make mistakes!" Quinn reminded.

Okafor waved his hand unwilling to listen to Quinn, and showed an impatient expression. Turner hit both free throws, and as he stepped back, he leaned over to Horgist and said, "I just overheard that they seem to be preparing to target you!" ”

Hoggist waved his hand disappreciatively, "Don't worry, what can they do to me?" I'd like to see if they have any new tricks, otherwise it would be too boring. ”

Duke Blue Devils attack, Matt. Jones received Quinn. Cook's ball-splitting single Horgist, he held the ball and broke through directly to the inside, afraid of being cut off and focused on protecting the ball, Horgist saw that there was no chance to cut the ball, so he fought and retreated, Jones was only 6 feet 4 inches tall, and his arm span was not outstanding, he knew that his layup would be blocked, so he jumped in the air with all his strength and wanted to wait for Horgist to reach out first, and then protect the ball himself for a big loop.

Hoggist has always been obscene on the defensive end, how can he not see Jones's intentions, he just raised his arms straight and high, and did not take the initiative to press down, Jones saw that there was no chance of a cheat foul, so he had to rush to the ground before he landed, although the ball was not blocked, but it was also out of the basket.

Okafor and Turner battled for the rebound, the ball dotted in the air and couldn't tell the difference for a moment, but Hoggist grabbed the ball on the sidelines.

When Hougist stepped into the three-point line to make a layup, Duke already had three people standing in the box ready to make Haugist dribble and foul. Hoggist was startled, hurriedly turned around and dribbled out of the three-point line, and wanted to throw a three-point shot directly to the opponent, but the few people who were waiting for Hoggist to hit the "wall" on the inside also pounced.

Hoggist saw that there was no chance to shoot, but he wanted to force a shot, Cook provoked interference, but Hoggist's shot was a feint, let Cook, and then from Garrison. Aaron and Matt. Jones forced his way through the gap and easily completed a dunk on the inside of the vacuum.

Duke's plan didn't work at all, and it didn't have the effect of consuming Hoggist at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and Duke still resolutely implemented the established policy, but this time he changed the routine, Jones became Okafor holding the ball against Haugistt after cooperating with Okafor's blocking, Okafor's strength was much stronger than Downs, and Haugist used all his strength to withstand him. Okafor seems to have discovered this problem, and worked hard to arch Haugist, anyway, the NCAA does not have a time limit for the back, so let's scare!

Haugist didn't find Duke's tactical intentions, he only vented his anger and retaliated after Okafor was led by a big score at this time, so he was not angry, but he was not angry and not more serious, it didn't mean that Hoggist was waiting to let Okafor go on like this, so Haugist turned his head and thought of a bad move, he deliberately used his strength to eat milk, and pushed Okafor out a small step, but Okafor really became more energetic, and increased his strength to push back, but Haugist was just to lure the enemy deeper, Okafor's strength was in the air, and Haugist withdrew his strength in time, Okafor's hard sit directly on the floor under the basket, Haugist gasped, snatched the ball from Okafor's arms, and advanced forward again.

Rassad. Vaughn was quick to get to the front, and Horgist's precise long pass guided Vaughn to complete an empty dunk.

The point difference has been stretched to 26 points, Duke is still so hardworking, Haugist is very surprised, can't help but admire the old K coach, can bring out such a never-give-up player is indeed admirable, but where does Hoggist know that the opponent not only did not give up, but held back to want to win them, looking back Okafor actually took the trouble to continue to dribble and hit Hoggist with his back against Hoggist, although Hoggist has enough physical strength, but he is not willing to fight with Okafor so hard, in his opinion, it is too stupid, So he constantly tried to deceive Okafor's center of gravity by removing the stool.

But Okafor is not a dull person, he has already suffered a loss once, he has been fooled once, how can he fall twice in the same pit? Haugist withdrew, the inside door opened, and Okafor turned directly to face the basket and was ready to pull up and dunk with both hands. Hougist took this opportunity to cut the ball, but he didn't want Okafor to make Hoggist's foul, he had already prepared for his fast hand, and he protected the ball very tightly, Hougist was blown for a thug foul under carelessness, but fortunately, Hoggist's hands were heavier when he cut the ball, and the ball was also cut by Hoggist, and it was not played 2+1.

Okafor walked to the free-throw line with a slight numbness in his hands, which directly led to his missed two free throws. Quinn. Cook said in a slightly reproachful tone: "You didn't grasp such a good opportunity to kill and chase points!" ”

Okafor reluctantly raised his right hand and said, "He cut the ball too hard, I suspect that my palm was broken by him!" You see, you still don't listen to the call! ”

And Hoggist was also frustrated by his reckless foul, thinking that it was better to quickly stretch the difference to 30 points and go down to rest by himself!

Coming to the frontcourt, Hoggist once again borrowed the cover to shoot from a distance, and Jones, who was defending him, knew that every time he made a shot, it might be a Buddha or a fake shot, but Hoggist's shot was too accurate, and he didn't dare to let go, so he could only obediently jump up and interfere with Hoggist's shot.

Sure enough, Hoggist's shot this time was another suffocation, and it wasn't until Jones was in the air that Hoggist jumped up to shoot. Jones thought to himself that the foul was a foregone conclusion anyway, and he would not completely destroy Hoggist's shot with a ruthless hand, so that he could not play 3+1! Thinking of this, Jones tried his best to adjust his body and try to knock Haugist down.

Haugist suddenly noticed that Jones was a little unkind, and hurriedly threw the ball out first, this choice wasted Haugist's time to adjust his posture in the air, and after the ball was shot, Hoggist was thrown to the ground by Jones, and the back of his head hit the floor hard.

The referee's rapid whistle sounded on the sidelines, and everyone was in an uproar, all began to condemn Jones's unsportsmanlike behavior, everyone was paying attention to Hougist's injury, and not many people even noticed that Hougist's goal was really scored despite being injured.

The team doctor rushed into the field for the first time to check on Hoggist, who fell not lightly, and even had a brief coma, just as the team doctor asked the stretcher to enter the field when Hoggist woke up.

The team doctor still asked Hoggist to go to the locker room for a check-up, but Hoggist asked for a free throw first. It was only then that everyone noticed the change in the score, and UNLV had a lead of 29 points.

"Didn't you pay attention just now, but he actually threw that ball in?" Owen looked at the scoreboard in disbelief.

"That's amazing! This kind of air adjustment ability is comparable to Jordan! Let's hope he doesn't get hurt. "Jabari. Parker was also praying for Hoggist.

The old Helian family looked at Hogist worriedly on the sidelines, and Hougist was helped up by his teammates, smiled at the family, and signaled that he was fine. Okafor and Quinn. Cooker passed Jones, and captain Quinn reprimanded: "Although we must fight Haugist if we want to win, we can't use such despicable means!" ”

Matt. Jones explained aggrievedly: "Wronged! I didn't want to hurt Hoggist, I was just going to foul him and don't let him play 3+1. ”

"But you're too ruthless now, aren't you? They all threw their opponents out of the concussion. Now even if we turn the tables and win, we will be poked in the back by the fans! Okafor said gloomily.

"This has come to this, and I can only apologize." Jones said.

"Why do I think your attitude is insincere? Go ahead and apologize to Haugist in person, we people who come out of Duke must be reasonable and responsible, and we can't embarrass the school, you know? Captain Cook instructed.

Jones walked up to Hoggist and stretched out his hand to apologize, Hougist shook his hand, "I don't mind, after all, any strong team is so big behind, the players will not feel good, if our team has been behind by more than 20 points, my teammates would have done it a long time ago." Of course, I was the one who was beaten. ”

After a few words sent Jones away, Haugist stood on the free throw line, although the back of his head hurt, but fortunately there was no dizziness, nausea and vomiting, Hoggist adjusted his breathing, steadily scored the ball, and now the difference has officially reached 30 points.

The referee gave a TV timeout after Haugiste scored the free throw, and Hoggist returned to the locker room with the team doctor to be tested for a concussion, and McCaw also came to the court, on the one hand, he wanted to "avenge" Haugist, and on the other hand, he could finally dominate the ball! And Duke also removed the "perpetrator" Matt. Jones, replaced Winslow, who had been on call for the second half.

After a timeout, Duke quickly found his groove on the offensive end, doing a great job of passing and cutting the ball, and after Okafor and Winslow scored, Duke quickly closed the deficit to 22 points. Although Turner drew Okafor's third foul with a single shot, Winslow scored six points in a row with a free throw to help Duke bite the deficit.

McCaw is now very angry, after replacing Hoggist, in fact, the strength of the two teams is similar now, it stands to reason that it should not be difficult to stabilize the 30-point difference, but now the difference has narrowed to 20 points. This was unacceptable to McCaw, who felt it was a disgrace to him. But McCaw ignored one point, when Hougist was on the field, the rest of the four of them could play with the star players of other teams, all because of Hougist's tactical containment, with Hougist's presence, they would face at most one defender, and the offense was not much easier than now, and every time Hoggist left the game, the score was mostly gone, and the opponent lost the idea of resisting, so it was easier for them to play with the bench, and today they met Duke, who urgently needed to chase points, That's when they felt the pressure like never before.

Thankfully, McCaw turned the pressure into anger, and his brainless break in a fit of rage resulted in Winslow's third foul as well. Okafor, who had fought for half the second half, had to take a break to break the game. Allen stood up again, combined with Winslow, three-pointers, layups 2+1, broke through to make foul free throws, and the magical performance helped Duke narrow the score step by step. After captain Cook broke through again to make it 2+1, the difference was only 11 points.

With 3 minutes left in the game, Turner hit a basket to create a layup for Duke to bench center Marshall. Plumlee left the court with five fouls, and Coach K Sr. put Okafor back on the court, but at this time, Turner's physical strength was exhausted, the free throws were significantly shorter, and Okafor easily picked up the rebound.

UNLV's main lineup fought fiercely on the field, and its physical strength was consumed a lot, but the score difference was getting closer and closer, and it was about to return to single digits. Now, apart from McCaw, who still has some stamina, Vaughn, Witherspoon and Turner are all out of breath. With Winslow and Okafor on the court now and three bench players, Duke looks like he's about to make one last charge!

Coach Odom had no choice but to apply for a timeout to buy time for the players to rest, Turner refused to take a break, he planned to fight for the last 3 minutes to make a name for himself and let the scouts know that he is a good center forward who can attack and defend well, unlike DeAndrew. Jordan's offense was all guided by a good playmaker.

"The boss has taken us for a season, and now the boss's life and death are uncertain, in the last 3 minutes of this last game, we must keep the 13-point lead and win the game to comfort the boss's spirit in the sky!" McCaw imitated Hougist's way of motivating the crowd.
