Chapter Fifty-Nine: Pressing and Circling

The Blue Devils served, and as soon as Cook received the ball, the Hurricanes began to press all over the court again.

As he pressed against Cook, Brown used his chest to keep putting pressure on Cook.

When Cook was dribbling the ball, he felt a force in his chest pushing him again, and his whole body was a little unbalanced and very uncomfortable when he dribbled the ball.

In the last game, when Cook couldn't bring the ball to the front court smoothly, he could only pass the ball to Zhang Zifeng.

But under the pressure of McClellan, Zhang Zifeng dribbled to the front court very hard, and there were several mistakes.

But with Parker, the situation was very different, and he lowered his body to protect the ball, not in the slightest bit unfazed by Reed's pressing.

Parker was about to break through, but his eyes looked at Zhang Zifeng.

Zhang Zifeng understood, began to run forward, and took away McClellan, who was like a poisonous snake on the side, ready to step forward and steal at any time.

Parker got up and pretended to throw the ball high to Zhang Zifeng.

Reed also got up and raised his right hand in the air in an attempt to intercept the pass.

Parker didn't pass the ball at all, got up and accelerated to shake off Reid and run forward with the ball.

Parker's breakthrough caused the Hurricanes to suddenly fail to press and have to readjust.

McClellan dropped Zhang Zifeng and stepped forward to block Parker.

Power forward Murphy came out to mark Zhang Zifeng, leaving only Jackie to guard on the inside.

Zhang Zifeng saw it and hurriedly motioned for Jefferson to come out to help cover.

Jefferson stood on the baseline in advance to block Murphy, and Zhang Zifeng ran to the other side outside the three-point line.

Parker saw it and hurriedly passed the ball over.

After Zhang Zifeng received the ball, he jumped up, and the ball flew to the basket with a spin.

Blue Devils fans were watching the ball nervously.

If the goal goes in and the score is only two points away, the morale of the Blue Devils will be up.

The arrogance of the Hurricanes will also be suppressed.

In a single-elimination event, momentum is important.

Once you give the opponent momentum and pull the score wider, it will be difficult to catch up.

In the eyes of countless people, the basketball smacked into the basket, making a crisp wiping sound.

The ball is in!

The Blue Devils fans at the scene also stood up and cheered loudly one by one.

Lao K saw Parker and Zhang Zifeng on the court, and he was really able to deal with this kind of full-court pressing. The frowning brows also loosened, and he shouted loudly, "Back to defense, quick back to defense!" ”

The coach of the Hurricanes team had a serious face, and when the whole court was pressing, it was to force the opponent to dribble the ball easily, and the formation was chaotic and there were mistakes.

Now that Zhang Zifeng is helping to tear people apart, Parker uses his height and technical advantages to break through. This tactic clearly did not work.

After careful consideration, the head coach of the Hurricanes decided to abandon the tactics he had previously developed, and he could not suppress the dribbling of the Blue Devils, and the full-court pressing would not be successful.

In this case, it is better to use the physical advantage to press the opponent.

In this way, it may be better to play steadily and steadily, and will not disrupt the opponent's defensive formation and take advantage of the chaos to score.

The Hurricanes really gave the ball to McClellan, and the others pulled it away, allowing McClellan to play Zhang Zifeng alone.

McClellan was tall, strong, and powerful, and he advanced like a heavy tank. Zhang Zifeng carried the other party desperately, not wanting the other party to advance.

But McClellan's butt arched, Zhang Zifeng stumbled and almost fell.

McClellan arched to the basket and turned around to shoot and scored two points easily.

When Jefferson came over to serve, he said to Zhang Zifeng, "How about it, can you handle it?" ”

"No problem, I can handle it!" Zhang Zifeng looked at McClellan's back and said,

Seeing that Zhang Zifeng said yes, Jefferson didn't say anything more.

Zhang Zifeng got the ball, and McClellan kept following him.

Let this bastard shoot before, this time you must not let this bastard shoot again!

McClellan is confident because he knows that as long as he doesn't give him an easy shot, he won't shoot well under his own physical confrontation.

At this moment, when McLaren was pestering Zhang Zifeng, Plumlee rushed out and stood aside in advance.

Zhang Zifeng saw the quick start, and when McLaren wanted to move his footsteps, he was blocked by Plumlee's huge body.

Zhang Zifeng easily got rid of McLaren and rushed straight to the basket with the ball.

When Jackie ran out to make up the defense, Zhang Zifeng passed the ball to Plumlee, who was following the inside cut.

McClellan can bully Zhang Zifeng with his body, and Plumlee is taller and stronger than him.

After receiving the ball, he got up and carried McClellan to dunk the ball into the basket.

Back in the half, when Brown just wanted to pass the ball to McClellan, he saw Zhang Zifeng coming around.

Zhang Zifeng stuck McClellan behind him and blocked the Hurricanes' pass to McClellan.

McClellan tried to go around the front several times, but Zhang Zifen stuck his position in advance.

Brown held the ball and couldn't pass it.

In the end, Brown could only pass the ball to power forward Murphy, allowing Murphy to play inside.

Most of the Hurricanes' players are athletic, but they move slowly and have relatively rough technique.

When Murphy was low on his back, Parker suddenly jumped over and cut the ball off.

Zhang Zifeng immediately spread his steps and rushed forward, and Parker sent the ball to Zhang Zifeng with a long pass.

As soon as Zhang Zifeng received the ball, he rushed into the front court like the wind.

The speed was getting faster and faster, McClellan couldn't catch up at all, so he had to give up the chase and watch Zhang Zifeng rush into the penalty area.

Looking at the basket that was getting closer and closer, Zhang Zifeng had only one thought in his heart, and that was - dunk!

Zhang Zifeng's calves and muscles were fully displayed, and he jumped hard, and the whole person rose into the air.

Grabbing the ball with both hands, making a circle, and smashing the ball into the basket with his right hand.

Big windmill slam dunk!

After pulling the basket with his right hand, Zhang Zifeng landed on the ground and shouted at the sky.

Zhang Zifeng, who roared in the sky, shocked all the Blue Devils fans, and they excitedly waved the light blue towel in their hands.

They shouted "Jack! Jack! Jack ......"

Seeing Zhang Zifeng being cheered by the Blue Devils fans in the audience, Parker's face was a little dark, he stole the opponent, found a gap in the crowd, and passed a good ball.

Obviously, this ball himself is the biggest hero, why is it that person who is the last to be in the limelight.

Parker was very upset!

Seeing Zhang Zifeng's full force, Zhang Fanpai boiled.

"Who dares to say that my crazy brother is trash, Lao Tzu will beat him to death. See no, storm buckle! Awesome no! Awesome no! ”

"Strong, my crazy brother! Three-pointers, mid-range shots, dunks, everything! ”

"From now on, I only believe in crazy brothers. Believe in the crazy brother to ...... forever! ”

……

Zhang Zifeng's dunk not only tied the score, but also greatly boosted the morale of his teammates.

When the half-time whistle blew, the Blue Devils outscored their opponents by seven points at 41:34.
