As the minutes ticked by, the Cavalry kept leading the way with excellent defense and good offensive efficiency.

The Duke Blues couldn't play an offensive game, relying on individual technical scoring to barely maintain the score.

The difference between the two teams was gradually widened.

It is worthy of a strong defensive cavalry team!

Zhang Zifeng pulled up the jersey on the collar to wipe his sweat, this was the hardest game he played this season, and he only scored 2 points in the opening game so far, and he was limited to death.

Zhang Zifeng was protecting the ball in the front court while seeking a way to crack it.

But as long as he has the ball, Anderson is like a wolf ready to pounce at any moment, and he will be able to combine with Brogdon.

In the face of Brogdon's stalking and Anderson's eyeing, Zhang Zifeng tried several times but couldn't ask his opponent, so he could only pass the ball out.

Coach K is also observing the running of opponents on the field and is trying to find a way to break the defensive line.

Anderson and Brogdon wrapped Zhang Zifeng, and it was necessary to stifle the tactical core of the Duke Blue Devils, attacking playmaker Zhang Zifeng.

Shark-cutting tactics against Okafor strangled another important scoring point for the Duke Blue Devils.

Zhang Zifeng was restricted, and Okafor was restricted by shark slashing tactics on the inside, which brought the Duke Blue Devils' offensive system to a standstill.

Coach K nodded and thought: Deserving of Tony. Coach Bennett, the defensive system he has created is really powerful.

Don't think you'll be able to defeat us, though.

To crack this defensive system, it is unlikely that a 30-second timeout alone will be possible. Lao K put the victory and defeat in the second half.

As the whistle blew, the first half ended with the score at 28:41 and the Cavalry leading by as many as 13 points.

Zhang Zifeng scored only 4 points in the entire first half, the lowest score since the start of the game.

Except for the opening shot and a missed rebound shot, there were no more scores.

When Zhang Zifeng walked into the players' tunnel, the fans of the cavalry team gestured various humiliating fingers towards Zhang Zifeng.

"See, no. Under our iron horse, you can't do it at all! ”

"Garbage Chinese, speak! Aren't you amazing? Look at how you did today, it's shit! “

"With our cavalry, you don't want to win. Today we are going to stop you from even winning! ”

Zhang Zifeng ignored these trolls and walked into the players' tunnel.

In the team's locker room, Coach K looked at Zhang Zifeng and said, "Jack, how does this game compare with the opponents you have met before?" ”

After a moment of silence, Zhang Zifeng replied: "Their defense is doing a good job, especially in the rotation defense!" ”

Coach K nodded, yes, it seems that Zhang Zifeng himself is also very aware of the other party's strengths.

"If you want to break down their defense, you have to beat their wheel transitions. Zhang Zifeng, wait for you to hand over the ball. Coach K said seriously: "Let Okafor organize, Jack, you don't have to worry about organizing the offense, just be a scoring guard again, use your best running position to tear apart the opponent's defense, and paralyze the opponent's rotation." In this way, our offensive opportunity came! You know what I mean, Jack? ”

Hearing Lao K talk about his best running position, Zhang Zifeng laughed dumbly.

It seems that I have been going too well during this time, and I have forgotten my housekeeping skills - running!

Zhang Zifeng nodded and said, "I understand, coach." Rest assured, I know what to do! ”

Old K was in the locker room with a marker on the tactical board, drawing the offensive line, telling his players to wait for what they should do.

At halftime, under the adjustment of Lao K, the player's mentality was stable.

After the start of the second half, the momentum of the Duke Blue Devils changed dramatically, and it was like two teams in the first half!

Cook controlled the ball and handed it to Okafor when he got to the frontcourt.

Okafor stuck his back to the opposition, holding the ball in the low post, observing the form on the court.

At this time, Zhang Zifeng began to run, he shook off Brogdon and Anderson, and ran inside. Seeing this, Brogdon hurried to follow.

Okafor saw Zhang Zifeng running over in the penalty area, immediately passed the ball to him, and then helped him cover.

Behind Zhang Zifeng, Brogdon did not give up the chase, and when he saw that he was about to bump into Okafor, he hurriedly bypassed.

Toby pasted Zhang Zifeng and didn't give him a chance to shoot.

Zhang Zifeng pretended to shoot, deceived Toby, and passed the ball to Okafor.

Let Okafor beat small, but he ran to the outside.

Toby can't keep up with Zhang Zifeng at all, and Brogdon has to keep an eye on Okafor.

At this time, there was a gap in the cavalry.

Okafor didn't play on his own, and he knew that if he threw himself, the opponent would foul him.

Seeing that Zhang Zifeng had already run out, he passed the ball out.

Winslow helped Zhang Zifeng cover on the outside, and under the cover of the whole team, Zhang Zifeng finally got rid of the opponent's defense, received the pass, and immediately jumped up and shot.

After Zhang Zifeng landed, Anderson just bypassed and caught up.

"Damn, the whole team helped him cover, this guy was too fast to shoot, it was too late!" Anderson cursed inwardly.

Zhang Zifeng hit a three-point shot with a beautiful, standard posture to add another three points to the Duke Blue Devils.

Zhang Zifeng and Okafor high-fived and celebrated: "Well passed!" ”

As he ran back, Zhang Zifeng arrogantly gestured to Brogdon for a three-point shot, shouting, "You'd better pray that I don't shoot every time I shoot, because that's the only way you can fight me!" ”

Seeing Zhang Zifeng so provocative, the fans of the cavalry team were angry and shouted loudly at their players.

"Kill that idiot Chinese!"

"Come on, don't let this yellow-skinned monkey score points!"

"Brogdon teach that bastard Chinese a good lesson and let us know how good we are!"

When it was the Cavalry's turn to attack, as soon as Toby sent the ball to Brogdon, Zhang Zifeng surrounded him.

Zhang Zifeng sneered, you think that you can defend, and our defense is not bad.

It wasn't good enough on the offensive end, but now that the Duke Blue Devils are pressing all over the court, the Cavalry's offense is even more difficult.

Caused a 35-second offense violation several times!

After the switch between offense and defense, Zhang Zifeng was liberated from the role of offensive playmaker, and he immediately became extremely active, turning back into the active running guy from last season.

Run aggressively and nimbly, tearing through the solid defensive line of the cavalry.

Zhang Zifeng took the ball, he made a shooting motion, and Brogdon hurriedly rushed over to jump up and block it.

Zhang Zifeng closed the ball and broke through!

Brogdon was shaken, and Zhang Zifeng took the ball straight to the basket.

Zhang Zifeng is not Okafor, Toby will not foul him, that is, to give away points, and match his own foul times.

Zhang Zifeng won the blue.

After landing, Zhang Zifeng looked at Brogdon and said, "Crossing you is like crossing the road in the early morning." ”

Brogdon was furious, but there was nothing he could do about the bastard.

This bastard is too capable of running!

The three of Brogdon often lost Zhang Zifeng when chasing defense, and then the chain fell off when the wheel was changed, and it couldn't work.

It's amazing!

Coach Tony Bennett was very surprised, even if he was mentally prepared, Zhang Zifeng's ability was still much beyond his imagination.

This guy's running is too nimble to be guarded against!

Zhang Zifeng always runs to the most appropriate position at the most appropriate time to receive the ball, and then sends the ball to the basket.

Zhang Zifeng opened, and the Duke Blue Devils became not quite the same.

With missile-like precision shots and scalpel-sharp passes, with Zhang Zifeng's running, the Duke Blues regained control of the offensive tempo.

Started to turn back and the tempo fell into the hands of the Blues.

Seeing Zhang Zifeng open, the Duke Blue Devils team became not quite the same. Some scouts and coaches lamented, "It's really obvious that Zhang Zifeng's role for the Duke Blue Devils is mediocre." ”

Tony Bennett has never underestimated the Duke Blues.

But the reality was still much more than he expected.

Seeing that the Blue Devils' offense was back, Tony Bennett was disappointed, he thought that he had seen through the weaknesses of the Blue Devils, and he thought that the defensive system he had created would definitely be able to strangle Zhang Zifeng. He thought there was a way to beat the mighty Duke Blues today.

But all of this became useless when Zhang Zifeng changed his playing style.

Seeing that this defensive system could no longer limit the opponent, Tony Bennett asked for a substitution.

Brogdon, "The Foul Maker" Evan Nolter.

has changed from relying on the tactical system to limit Zhang Zifeng to relying on personal defense to limit Zhang Zifeng.

The game restarted, and although Evan Nolte was the best defender on the team, he alone couldn't defend against Zhang Zifeng.

In the final two minutes of the game, the Blues hit back-to-back three-pointers to extend their lead to six.

Zhang then hit a key three-pointer to give Duke a 60-51 lead with 1:9 left in the game.

Tony Bennett called a final timeout, but this timeout didn't get them back in the game.

In the end, the Blue Devils ended the game 62-54.

Zhang Zifeng scored a game-high 22 points and had four assists. Winslow scored 14 points and Okafor had a poor game, finishing with just eight points and six rebounds.
