You can see how similar their approach is when they want to lead the team to victory. They don't necessarily take it themselves every time, and sometimes they give the ball to their teammates, but they always find the right way to win. I think even if Zhang Zifeng goes to the NBA, he will definitely succeed. Yes, he will play in the NBA, and when he retires, he will enter the Hall of Fame! ”

Until March 5, the Duke Blues took on the North Carolina Tar Heels away from home.

Mike. Brin took the microphone and shouted excitedly, "Tonight is the last game of the regular season for Duke University, and if they win, they will have the best record and win the first place in the ACC league regular season with a winning record." The Duke players are working the game and it seems that they want to win the game. But the North Carolina players don't have the slightest intention of perfecting the Duke Blues. They fight fiercely, oh, the thug fouls. Okafor's back-to-back shot on the inside was hit directly into Meeks' hands. ”
Van Gundy Jr. looked at the fierce game and said, "The game is very intense, and such a game is not easy to see even in the NBA Finals!" ”
Mark Jackson laughed and said, "Oh, man. You know, it's a shame for North Carolina to let arch-rival Duke Blues win on their home turf and set a record. The North Carolina players are definitely not going to let Duke win. ”
Okafor stepped onto the free-throw line, tried to steady his breathing, and threw the ball.
Brin shouted excitedly, "Oh, Okafor missed two free throws, 76-79, Duke still trailed by 3 points, and there was only 1 minute and 16 seconds left, but it was North Carolina who took the ball and attacked." At this point, North Carolina began to stall for time, and if it scored in 35 seconds, Duke only had 40 seconds left, and it was almost impossible to score five points to tie. At this point, does Duke choose to foul early, or continue with a defensive strategy? ”
"Duke didn't choose to foul early, the clock was ticking, and seeing that the 35-second offensive time was almost up, North Carolina suddenly attacked the basket, and Pavis shot immediately after getting the ball, and Jack blocked."
"Foul on the thug! At this most critical and sensitive moment, the referee awarded a foul to the thug. ”
"Old K was furious, he roared angrily at the referee, and Jack ran up to argue with the referee."
"The referee insisted on the original verdict!"
"Let's look at the return visit, oh, at this angle, we can clearly see that it's a good risk. Jack was so unlucky. ”
"Pavis made two free throws to make it 76-81, Duke trailed by five points with 47.5 seconds remaining."
"Duke is in crisis, is the winning streak being stopped like this!"
