Chapter 20: After the game
The moment the whistle blew at the end of the game, the atmosphere at Cameron Arena erupted in deafening cheers.
For the past two seasons, the Duke Blues have been beating North Carolina Tar Heels, and it doesn't get any better or happier for Blue Devils fans.
Now the people at the University of North Carolina are unconsciously walking far away when they see the people at Duke University, for fear of being ridiculed by the students of Duke University.
What's even worse is that the North Carolina school newspaper is already the fourth time that the North Carolina Blue has been disgraced to change from North Carolina to Duke Blue, and it has to run the headline of Duke's victory over North Carolina.
The North Carolina Tar Heels players walked into the locker room with a bitter look on their faces, and a few young players even shed tears of sadness.
The combination of Zhang Zifeng and Okafor, the tidal wave of offensive on the offensive end gave them a feeling of irresistibility.
Today is an away game, and in half a month, if you still lose to Duke at home.
They couldn't imagine what it would be like.
It's really painful and sorrowful.
The mood of the Duke Blue Devils players was completely opposite to that of the North Carolina players, clapping their hands and thanking the fans as they walked to the tunnel of players.
Dancing and singing hip-hop, Jefferson had a blast in the locker room.
Zhang Zifeng and Lao K stayed for an interview with reporters.
The Duke Blues' game against the North Carolina Tar Heels has always been a high-profile fixture.
With an average viewership of 4,136,000 and a 2.6% rating, the game was the most-watched college basketball game of the season so far.
Four or five reporters surrounded Lao K, put a few microphones to his mouth, and asked: "In the past few seasons, you and North Carolina have been very anxious in their games, winning and losing each other. But today you easily defeated the sworn enemy North Carolina Tar Heels, winning 13 consecutive victories and ranking first in the ACC league. Mike, what has made you so good this season? ”
Seeing that Zhang Zifeng and Okafor can cooperate well, the happiest is of course the head coach Lao K.
"When you have two great players on your team and they can work well together on the defensive and offensive ends, it's easy to win games. ”
When interviewing Lao K, there were also many reporters interviewing Zhang Zifeng.
"Jack, congratulations. You did a great job in this game. You helped the Duke Blues defeat their arch-rivals, the North Carolina Tar Heels! ”
After last season's baptism, when answering reporters' questions, Zhang Zifeng became more tactful. "Thank you, it's a team effort! Without our teammates, coaches, and fans who unconditionally supported us, we would have struggled to beat North Carolina. We all know what a tough team North Carolina is! ”
"Excuse me, Jack. Now that you've won 13 in a row, how long do you think you'll be able to win on a winning streak and will you break the NCAA winning streak? ”
"I don't know how many wins we're going to have in the end. All we can do is try to play every game! ”
……
Okafor they were taking a shower, and Zhang Zifeng was being interviewed.
Those Blue Devils fans didn't go back to their dormitories immediately after the game, washed up and went to sleep.
The most exciting and exciting moments have just begun.
Defeating North Carolina and claiming the NCAA championship, they can all have a traditional crazy celebration.
Burn the chair!
It's a tradition that has been around since the 1986 win over arch-rivals North Carolina Tar Heels.
Whenever they win an important competition, students move to a long wooden bench downstairs in the undergraduate dormitory, and these huge chairs, usually the items of a club, are usually obediently placed in the hallway, painted in the background.
After the victory, the chairs serve as raw materials for a celebratory bonfire, which fans gather in Duke University's central plaza to light with benches.
Beer, barbecue, ...... under the campfire Everything you need for a party is alive!
The party was attended not only by students, but also by alumni after graduation and by "Duke fans".
The fans sang and danced, drank and chatted, and scolded North Carolina.
In addition to the bombardment of toasts, there is also a warm "beer baptism".
As soon as they were excited, the fans poured beer on each other's heads and bodies, laughing and splashing at the same time, which was quite a bit of the meaning of the Dai Songkran Festival.
One by one, they were poured into "soup chicken", and the mood was still happy.
The cheers continued throughout the night, and the joyous atmosphere over Duke University would not be dispersed for a long time......
Blue Devils fans were busy celebrating, and on the other side of the ocean, just after the game ended, there was the latest news on the sports section of the major websites.
"Defeat the mortal enemy, Duke Blue Devils win 13 consecutive victories!" 》
The Legend of the Maniac Continues! 》
"Stand up at the critical moment and show your leadership style!" 》
In the United States, Zhang Zifeng gradually gained recognition through his own efforts.
In China, with Zhang Zifeng's continued outstanding performance in the NCAA, the number of Zhang Zifeng's fans has skyrocketed.
The team is the big one, the statistics are excellent, and the winning streak is maintained.
Whether it is personal data, team status, or victory or defeat, it makes those black Zhang gangs unable to start.
Except for a few diehards, everyone else turned to the Zhang Fan faction.
Now the discussion on the forum is how many consecutive wins the Duke Blue Devils can get, and whether the Duke Blue Devils can win the championship. Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Zifeng will be selected in the first pick next year.
When is Mingyue: "You said that when Crazy Brother participates in the draft next year, he will be selected in what pick, and which club will he be selected by?" ”
I'm not crazy: "Definitely the champion, it goes without saying!" ”
Awesome people don't pretend to be forced: "It's hard to say, although the crazy brother performed very well, but those bastards in the NBA have always had eyes on their heads and looked down on us yellow people." But the lotto area should be fine! ”
Lao Tzu seven times a night: "If you fight so well, you dare to look down on you, those managers are blind!" ”
Crazy maniac: "On the top floor!" ”
……
The blind man saw it: "Okay, seriously, I think a suitable club is more important than your rank!" It's like Milicic, Kwame Brown. When you meet a coach who doesn't want to see a rookie, the boss of the team, and your career may be delayed! “
Is the beauty dating? "I feel that what you said is very reasonable, and I have no words to refute it. But tell me, where is the crazy brother going? ”
Flying feeling: "The sun is good, it's being rebuilt." There is no boss, and there is a lack of shooting guards. If the crazy brother goes, he will be able to take the position immediately and be cultivated as a core! ”
Little Blue Pill: "Nonsense, of course you have to go to my lake." Kobe Bryant is reimbursed for this season, and his contract expires next season. The big crazy brother went, just happened to take over Kobe, and he could still accept the guidance of the Black Mamba. How nice! ”
The fat man's grudge: "According to what you say, the Nuggets are more suitable for crazy brothers." This year, the Nuggets are full of injuries and can definitely rank at the bottom of the league. A 15-year draft pick is definitely not going to be bad. And it's also being rebuilt, there is no boss. Crazy brother went, you can desperately brush the data and get a scoring champion or something. All-stars or something is not a problem at all! ”
The writer who hit the street: "Your sister, your whole family only brushed the data." My crazy brother relies on real skills, and he doesn't need to brush it. You can get into the All-Star! ”
Netizens were discussing Zhang Zifeng's whereabouts in full swing, and Zheng Xinguo ran through the door knocking on Zhang Zifeng with an excited face. "Kaede, good news. Good news, Kaede! ”
