Gonzaga University took the opportunity to play a small surge of 13:3 to narrow the score to 1 point and fall behind 26:25. After that, the two sides were whistled for offensive fouls one after another, and the number of fouls was so many that the two sides began to give each other free throw gifts, and what was even more frustrating was that both sides humbly refused to accept it by striking iron. Until the final moments, Duke's Italian-born little guard Nick Nick. Pagliuca hit a three-pointer and the two teams were able to score again in the open game. And the first half Duke ended with a five-point lead at 31:26.

At the beginning of the second half, Gonzaga University took the lead in regaining his touch, and point guard Gary. Bell II hit three pointers in quick succession, but the Duke players were still immersed in the rhythm of striking iron, "When! While! While! "It was the basket's painful cry for help. Gonzaga's inside line Kyle. Volg equalised.

In the second half, Okafor seemed to be cold, with many ineffective inside attacks, and it seemed that his teammates had also infected him with free throws, and Okafor often hit iron even if he caused foul free throws. Gonzaga inside Walger played Okafor with all kinds of fantasy steps on the inside, and led Gonzaga to a 38-34 lead in a row.

However after Duke's Taas. Jones hit back-to-back three-pointers to tie the lead and extend the lead to six in one fell swoop, and Winslow hit a crucial three-pointer to give Duke a 60-51 lead with 2:28 left in the game. Gonzaga University requested a timeout.

But that didn't make it a way for them to recover the score, and with 1:30 left to go, a foul by Gonzaga gave Okafor a free throw, and Okafor made one of two free throws to give Duke a 62-52 lead to 10 points, and the game was out of suspense. Although the Gonzaga players did not give up, the Gonzaga team, which used foul tactics, did not take any chances, and the Blue Devils ended the game 66-52.

Statistically, Kyle of Gonzaga. Volger had 16 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block, and the others didn't make a difference. Duke's Taas. Jones had 15 points, 3 rebounds, 6 blocks and 2 steals. Winslow scored 16 points, while Duke's star Okafor's poor second-half performance dragged him down from the field, finishing with 13 points and eight rebounds on 6-of-14 shooting.

After a hard-fought battle, Duke University won 66-52 to win the Southern Division and enter the NCAA Final 4. It is worth mentioning that this is the 12th time that veteran K coach Shashewski has led Duke to the final four, and has also tied the famous coach John Bushiewski of UCLA. Wooden took the same team to the record of the last four. Their opponent in the semifinals was the University of Michigan, who defeated the University of Louisville.

The final four matches returned to Lucas, Indianapolis, where the finals were held, and were played by the Eastern Conference champions, the Michigan Spartans, who had just finished the game, against the Southern Conference champions, the Duke University Blue Devils. This was followed by the Western Conference champion Arizona and the Midwest Conference champion UNLV.

Although they were the first to reach the final four and had the longest break, Arizona was still preparing for the tournament seriously. However, UNLV, who was seriously short of preparation time, canceled all training arrangements at the suggestion of Hoogist, and took time to rest in the hotel, only to warm up before the game in the evening.

In the afternoon, Hoggist slept soundly, and the annoying mobile phone rang at an inopportune time, although Hoggist wanted to ignore the call and continue to sleep, but his heart was not to this extent, after all, he had to play at night, and now he could face an unexpected situation at any time.

But fortunately, it was not an accident, the caller was like the little Bijeff AKA Joseph Bill who had evaporated from the world after going to college.

"Thank goodness you're still alive!" Hogist picked up the first sentence and began to tease.

"Big brother, don't be kidding, you performed so well on the court, and my progress on my side can't be left behind! I can't compare to you in terms of learning level, so I can only fly first and be more diligent. Although Joseph spoke very modestly, his tone was extremely relaxed.

"Listen to your tone and seem to have good news for me?" Hougist could also hear the irrepressible smugness in Joseph's tone.

"Tell me a cool name first!" Joseph urged.

"Cool name?" Hoggist asked curiously.

"yes, what's the cool name that comes to your mind first?" Joseph asked.

"Cool words, how about 'Wolf Warrior'?" Hougist remembered that he recently watched the upcoming Chinese special forces movie, this movie will also be released in the United States, but only in those cities with more people will be released, Hougist checked, the movie theaters in Indiana Apolis will not be released, not even the movie theaters in Vegas, if you want to watch it, you have to go to Los Angeles.

Joseph on the other end of the phone groaned and said, "This name is a bit aggressive!" But if you like it! ”

"Why didn't you say you wanted a cool name! What's the good news? Hougist asked.

"I'm in the state government, and our brokerage company is about to be established, so it's just your name!" Joseph said proudly.

"Really? Have you got your broker license? That's great! Hougist said excitedly.

"Yes, I got this certificate before I finished my freshman year, and I am already the first person in the history of the school, you can imagine how much effort I put into this time! I didn't even take good care of Vitra when she gave birth, I didn't take care of the child after it was born, it was her sister who took care of her all the time, and now I can finally accompany my wife and children! Joseph cried as he spoke.

Haugist comforted: "Okay, okay, don't cry, a better tomorrow is coming soon, and I have good news for you!" ”

"What's the good news?"

"The day before yesterday, after the game, LeBron told me that there are teams that have now made high-pick draft picks with key players on the team." Hougist said proudly.

The perceptive Joseph immediately reacted, "So the next endorsement contract is indispensable!" ”

Hoggist nodded excitedly, "That's right, so you can spend more time with your wife and children between now and June, and you will start to be busy again from June!" ”

"I don't refuse this kind of quick money! I can finally pay off the money my dad borrowed from me, hahaha! Joseph laughed and said, "Then it's decided, it's called 'Wolf Warrior' Sports Agency, the shareholders are me and Qiu Jingli, and the equity is four for her six." ”

"Why do shareholders still have Qiu Jingli? More equity? Hoggist asked, surprised.

"Big brother, I opened a brokerage company purely to make money from you, how can I be embarrassed to take it all myself? Besides, the money to start the company was all taken out by my sister-in-law, and I am already ashamed to take forty percent of the shares with my technology! Although Joseph was in dire need of money, he was not greedy.

Hoggist asked worriedly: "Then you have to make a lot less money, is it enough to support your wife and children?" ”

"Big brother, you don't know anything about the market now! The 4% commission I took on your rookie contract alone is more than my mom and dad can earn from opening a burger restaurant for a year, not to mention the 20% advertising contract! Not to mention Miles. Turner's contract is out! Joseph said.

"Okay, I don't care about the company's business, I just need to concentrate on playing in the future! Remember to watch the game at night, big brother, my semi-finals, the championship is just around the corner! Hoggist said.

"Big brother, don't underestimate the enemy and capsize in the gutter!" Joseph reminded.

"Don't worry, the strongest star in Arizona is our old friend Lang Day. Hollis Jefferson, there's nothing to worry about, I think you haven't watched our game for too long, so take a good look at the strength of our Raiders tonight! Hougist said disapprehantly.

After hanging up the phone, Hoggist also felt that he was getting lazier and lazier the more he slept, so he ran to the hotel gym and found a treadmill facing the TV for a jog.

Hougist arrived just in time for the game between Duke and the University of Michigan to begin jumping. To Haugist's surprise, perhaps because of the back-to-back games, Okafor continued his poor form in the second half of the previous game, losing the jump ball to Matt, who was a head shorter than him. Costello.

After the start of the game, the Michigan big hand was hot, and Denzel. Valentine and Travers. Triss fired back-to-back shots from the outside, hitting four 3-pointers to give his team a quick eight-point lead.

But Duke immediately launched a counterattack, and several first-year players began to work hard. Winslow first assists Jahir. Okafor scored 2 points, then hit a 2+1 on Valentin's head on the inside line, and the white man dunked Garrison. Not to be outdone, Allen burst inside to try to block the opposing center, Costello, unfortunately he did not have such a tough ability, but still caused Costello to foul and hit both free throws.

The momentum on the court is like this, the opening Michigan big three-point rain smashed Duke's nose and face, and in the following period, Duke's ferocious defense caused Michigan State to fall into a 6-minute scoring drought, but unfortunately Duke's scoring was also limited, and he only scored 7 points in 6 minutes, and the score was still 1 point behind Michigan.

Although since then Travers. Triss stepped up and ended the team's scoring drought with a stunning pull-up layup, but Okafor seemed to be back in shape when Michigan came off the bench with center Gavin. Xie Lin smashed his hands on his head to make it 2+1, easily equalizing the score, and after Okafor landed, there seemed to be a lot of friction between the two of them.

However, Okafor immediately let Gavin. Schelling began to regret his words and actions, as Okafor blocked him again in the following round with almost identical movements, and by the way, he took the lead by the way. Okafor's resurgence heralded Duke's strong awakening, and Michigan State has not been able to recover the score since.

Michigan State looked helpless on both ends of the floor against Duke's pressing defense, and on several occasions there were seemingly easy layup opportunities, where the ball always brushed out of the basket or bounced off the edge of the basket short. Everyone was lamenting that Michigan had wasted such a great opportunity, but Hougist on the treadmill could see at a glance that it was because the Michigan players had exhausted their strength to break through Duke's high-intensity defense, and they no longer had the energy to do more fine control of the ball when they shot.

With back-to-back scoring opportunities and a porous defense, Michigan can only rely on fouls to stop their opponents. At 2:41 of the first half, Duke started point guard Taas. Jones' open three-pointer extended the margin to more than 10 points for the first time. That's when the University of Michigan adapted to Duke's high-intensity defense, with both sides scoring to make it 25-36 at halftime.

Entering the second half, although Duke University led to double digits, Coach K seemed to be well aware of Chairman Mao's "It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, not to sell the name of the overlord", and resolutely did not give Michigan any chance. Cook and Matt. Jones and others blossomed more, and Michigan State could only rely on Valentine's piecemeal scoring to barely support it, and the score gap widened. With 10 minutes into the second half, Winslow caused Gavin. Schelling fouled and made one of two free throws, and the margin had stretched to 20 points.

Although after small forward Kobe. Warrenman played the role of the bench cavalry, and Valentine, Trevos. Triss hit a wave of offense together, and the trio hit back-to-back three-pointers from the outside to help the Michigan Generals close the gap a little, but the poor performance on the defensive end completely wiped out their efforts on the offensive end, and finally made Michigan powerless. Their fouls sent Duke players to the free throw line in quick succession, and the fragmented pace of the game also affected their shooting touch, and the margin was again 20 points. In the end, Duke held on to the win and advanced to the finals, while the University of Michigan was disgraced.

For Duke, freshman star center Jahir Brown is the first year of the university. Okafor finished with 18 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks on 7-of-11 shooting, while another freshman forward named Justis Brown finished with 18 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Winslow only scored 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting, but relied on the unlimited fouls sent by the opponent at the last moment, made 9 of 11 free throws, and efficiently cut 19 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. Cook scored 17 points, and Taas. Jones and Garrison. Aaron also had 9 points on his account.

Michigan is here at the University of Denzel. Valentine had a game-high double-double of 22 points and 11 rebounds, but he made 23 shots. Triss had 16 points and 5 assists, but only hit 2 of 7 two-point shots, and starting center Matt Costello scored 10 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks on Okafor's head, but was left with 5 fouls by Okafor.

Duke University successfully reached the finals, but the happiest thing was Towns in front of the TV, he had already entrusted Hougist, and the ratings of the NCAA finals were for the NBA to give way, so being beaten by Hoggist in the finals was much more embarrassing than losing to Hoggist in 8 into 4. The thought of Okafor being teased and humiliated in the game made Downs a little excited!
