'I've been following him since last season, he's a good shooter and he's killing us with his shots, which is ironic for us. You all know that we have a lot of goalscorers on our team, and Jack makes me very uncomfortable. He was supposed to come to our team, and if he had come to our team, maybe he would have been in the NBA this year! UConn coach Kevin Ollie told the media after the game.

Compared with Zhang Zifeng's all-round performance, Okafor's statistics in this game are undoubtedly a little bleak, with 7 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks.

This kind of data is barely qualified for other interior players, but Okafor and the group behind him are obviously not satisfied, Okafor wants to impact the top picking.

Such data is not guaranteed at all, let alone the champion, and even the first round of the draft cannot be guaranteed. They will all blame the problem on Zhang Zifeng, who has a prominent performance in this game.

Duke's winning streak didn't stop, winning the next five games against Elon University, the University of Toledo, Wyford College, Boston College, and Wake Forest.

Zhang Zifeng still performed well, proving with a strong performance that he is a well-deserved first person at Duke University.

In five games, Zhang Zifeng averaged 20.7 points, 7.1 assists, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game, and his shooting percentage entered the 180 club, shooting 51.7% from the field, 43.5% from three-point range, and 90.8% from the free throw line.

Such data is undoubtedly very dazzling.

Okafor, on the other hand, can only be described as a qualified blue-collar player, in addition to doing his job every game to grab seven or eight rebounds, one or two blocks, and occasionally score about six points through secondary offense.

But it's a lot darker than the start of the season.

On the contrary, Winslow rose to prominence, amassing 12.6 points and 6.5 rebounds, which attracted the attention of many scouts.
