Last season, only some people wore Zhang Zifeng's jersey to cheer in the audience.

This season, Zhang Zifeng's No. 14 jersey is the hottest on the Duke campus, and Zhang Zifeng's jersey is sold in stores and websites.

In recent games, more than half of the fans at Cameron Arena wore the No. 14 jersey and shouted with a card with Zhang Zifeng's English name.

Not only is the number of fans increasing, but the media coverage of Zhang Zifeng vs. Duke Blue Devils is also increasing.

Before the game against the University of Connecticut, Duke University had a winning streak, and the response in the United States was mediocre.

But after the victory over the University of Connecticut, the 7-game winning streak has attracted a lot of media attention.

You must know that the University of Connecticut was the NCAA champion last season, and Duke University pressed the opponent from beginning to end under the leadership of Zhang Zifeng in this game.

The victory and gold content of this game is far from comparable to the previous matches in front of it.

Zhang Zifeng, who performed well in the game against the University of Connecticut, has received more media attention and attention.

In my opinion, now the Duke Blue Devils are the best since '91, '92. This season's Duke Blues team is very competitive in both the starting lineup and the bench lineup, and even the full bench lineup is not behind against strong teams. Those who expect Duke to fail had better be prepared to wait, Duke will continue to win! Even if you win all season, I don't doubt it! - Durham News

The Duke Blues had a disappointing performance last season, but this season the Duke Blues have made a comeback and are now on a 12-game winning streak! What makes the Duke Blue Devils so strong is because of their new leader, Zhang Zifeng, a Chinese. He was just a decent goalscorer last season, and after a summer of hard work, he's completely metamorphosed into a formidable breakup, not to mention his defense. Under his leadership, I am confident that the Duke Blues will not stop moving forward. Perhaps by next June, another Chinese will enter the NBA as a champion - USA Today

Zhang Zifeng's performance this season is really amazing, it is a big leap. He's an absolute legend! - New York Post

It was as if overnight, the whole country was talking about Duke University and Zhang Zifeng.

What Okafor's eyes and ears heard and saw were Zhang Zifeng's news.

This made Okafor very hurt and helpless.

He hasn't been doing well since the UConn game.

It's not that he doesn't work hard, but the ball doesn't reach him.

The whole team trusted the damn Chinese more and handed the ball to him. Even the coach was on his side.

What you can do on the court is to defend and grab rebounds, and then see if you can have a chance to miss and attack twice.

Grab eight or nine rebounds per game, score five or six points, standard blue-collar center.

This is completely different from what he had envisioned.

Just this data, just this performance, who will care. What to compete for in next year's draft.

Not to mention the first round, even in the second round, I am afraid that he will not be selected.

Okafor regretted it a little, and listened to the words of those pig friends and dog friends for a while, and went to fight for the position of boss.

He was now hesitating to give in when an unexpected invitation surprised Okafor.

At the end of the day, Okafor was just about to walk into the locker room.

Zhang Zifeng walked over and said with a smile, "Jalier, are you interested in having a drink!" ”

The other players were stunned when they heard it, the contradiction between Okafor and Zhang Zifeng, how could they not be clear as teammates.

They never thought that Zhang Zifeng would take the initiative to invite Okafor to the bar at this juncture.

The bar is a great place, but it's also a very accident-prone place.

What the hell is Jack trying to do?

A few of the veteran players were afraid that something would happen, and Jefferson, as a veteran of the team, stood up and said, "Hey, Jack! Where are you going? How about together? ”

Zhang Zifeng turned his head and said with a smile, "Next time, next time, please go with the whole team." There's something I'd like to talk to Jaliel about this time. Don't worry, we're just having a casual chat. It's going to be fine! ”

Zhang Zifeng said so, and Jefferson and the others pressed down even if they had doubts.

Zhang Zifeng turned around and continued, "How is it, Jalier? ”

Okafor thought for a moment and nodded, "OK!" ”

There was something in their hearts, Zhang Zifeng and Okafor both of them simply washed up, packed up, and got into Zhang Zifeng's car to go to a familiar bar.

No words along the way!

Step into the bar and make your way through the crowds.

Zhang Zifeng knocked on the bar, "Two beers!" ”

When the bartender saw that it was Zhang Zifeng, he immediately shouted, "Hey, Jack, long time no see!" You've been in a great game and the Blues are on a 12-game winning streak. Here's your beer! ”

“Thank you!”

Zhang Zifeng handed Okafor a glass of beer and said, "Jalil, I know you want to go to the NBA next year!" ”

Okafor suddenly glared at Zhang Zifeng when he heard it.

Zhang Zifeng took a sip of wine absentmindedly before continuing, "With your current performance, you don't have a chance!" ”

"Bump!"

Okafor placed his beer on the bar, his eyes blazing.

It's not all because of you!

Zhang Zifeng looked at him fearlessly and said, "Embiid, you should know that the University of Kansas is the third pick in this year's draft." ”

Okafor wondered how this damn Chinese could suddenly talk about this person.

"The first pick this year is Wiggins, a core player at the University of Kansas!"

Hearing Wiggins' name, Okafor immediately understood what this Chinese wanted to do when he invited himself to the bar today.

He just wanted to tell himself that if I was willing to give in, I would have a chance to come out and get a high pick next year like Embiid.

Okafor heard Zhang Zifeng use Embiid as an example, and he was a little moved. Although the first pick is good, the third pick is not bad either. It's better than not having a chance to come out.

Okafor tried to succumb, but for a while his face made it difficult for him to speak.

Seeing Okafor's hesitant expression, Zhang Zifeng knew the answer.

If you are unwilling, you don't need to hesitate at all, just turn around and leave.

Zhang Zifeng looked at Okafor with a serious expression. "Jalil, I need your help. With your help, Duke University has a better chance of winning the championship! Believe me, we're going to win a championship and go to the NBA together! ”

Hearing Zhang Zifeng say this, Okafor finally made up his mind and said: "I believe that the Duke Blue Devils will definitely win the championship under your leadership!" ”

It's done. One hand turnip, the other stick. Finally got this guy to his knees!

Zhang Zifeng showed a bright smile, raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "Cheers to our championship!" ”

"Cheers!"

After drinking all the beer, Zhang Zifeng was in a good mood and shouted, "One more drink!" ”

Okaforo's depression dissipated after a long day, and he was drunk tonight.

After drinking and not driving, Zhang Zifeng called Zheng Xinguo to come out and send them back.

With Okafu in the back seat, Zhang Zifeng sat in the co-pilot, looking at the scenery outside the window.

If Parker hadn't used force to suppress people in the first place, he wanted to use strong means to coerce himself into submission.

It's about communicating with myself in a good voice and telling myself that for the glory of the team, if I take a step back, we can win the championship together, and we can go to the NBA together.

Am I going to vow to fight him for the position of team leader?

Zhang Zifeng asked himself, but in the end, there was still no definite answer.

Maybe, maybe not.

Everything has become a reality, and there is no point in talking about it anymore.

A losing season has made me stronger and more mature!
