Chapter 21: Public Enemy of the Alliance!
The win over the North Carolina Tar Heels not only made North Carolina fans depressed for a week, but also made the Duke Blue Devils a thirteenth straight victory.
It's not easy to win thirteen in a row in the strongest league in the ACC, and every team here has the quality to challenge for the tournament.
In this situation, the Duke Blue Devils are getting more and more in the limelight.
On January 14, 2015, the Duke Blue Devils visited the Miami Hurricanes, and the final score of this game was 90-74, and the Duke Blue Devils won again, winning 14 in a row.
On January 18, 2015, Duke hosted the Louisville Cardinals, 52:63, and the Duke Blue Devils had won 15 in a row.
The Duke Blues have been on a winning streak this season amid an almost frantic exclamation from media pundits across the United States.
You must know that Duke is not a weak team in these games, look, the Wake Forest University Devils Deacons are an old NCAA powerhouse, although they have not won a championship, but it has always been a strong team. A total of 28 players have been sent to the NBA, including Tim Duncan, Chris Paul and other famous stars.
Not to mention the North Carolina Tar Heels, a five-time NCAA champion. Raising superstar Mike. Jordan.
The Miami Hurricanes just reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament last season.
The Louisville Cardinals, a three-time NCAA champion, finished in the final four of the NCAA Tournament last season.
With a win over the Louisville Cardinals, the Duke Blue Devils didn't stop their winning streak.
On January 20, 2015, the Duke Blue Devils 79-65 University of Pittsburgh Panthers, 16 consecutive wins.
2015-01-26 St. John's University Red Storms 68-77 Duke Blue Devils. 17 wins in a row.
2015-01-29 Notre Dame belligerent Irish 73:87 Duke Blue Devils. 18 wins in a row.
19 in a row, 20 in a row......
A 20-game winning streak may have been nothing before 1975.
At that time, UCLA had won seven consecutive championships, setting a record of 88 consecutive tournament wins.
But it is said that before 1975, the current NCAA is not the NCAA of the basketball desert. Since the NCAA expansion, UCLA's most recent championship was 20 years ago.
Now it's rare to get a 20-game winning streak, even a 10-game winning streak, let alone a 20-game winning streak in the ACC League, the strongest division in the league.
During this time, the Duke University Blues have a very impressive winning streak and are the most glamorous and brilliant team in the United States. Even the Cavaliers, who James returned this season, and the Warriors, who set off an offensive frenzy, can't compare to them.
The Duke Blue Devils' winning streak, not to mention that their core is still a Chinese Zhang Zifeng, has greatly attracted the attention of the national media.
USA Today directly sent a full-time reporter to follow the Duke Blue Devils and Zhang Zifeng throughout the process.
On this day, Marty took the microphone and blocked Zhang Zifeng at the door of the training hall again, saying, "Hey, Jack! โ
Zhang Zifeng saw that it was this reporter again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Marty, why are you again?" โ
Marty shrugged his shoulders and said, "Jack, you have to know that you are the most popular person in America now, and everyone knows more about you." The Duke Blues are on a 20-game winning streak this season, how did you do that? โ
Zhang Zifeng said angrily, "I have already said that to win the game, it depends on the efforts of the whole team and the command of the coach!" โ
Marty also said helplessly, "Come on, Jack!" We want to hear the real answers, can you not fool us with this? โ
Zhang Zifeng said with a serious face, "Marty, I'm serious. That's the secret to winning. If you ask other people, I'm sure 90% of them will tell you the answer! โ
Marty rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, Jack." How long do you think the winning streak can last? โ
Zhang Zifeng said with a smile, "Winning streaks has never been our goal!" โ
Marty exclaimed in disbelief, "Oh, yes! So why do you keep winning? โ
Zhang Zifeng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Our goal has always been to win the championship, and if we don't win the championship, it will be a failure for us." The winning streak is just the garnish on the cake! โ
After speaking, Zhang Zifeng dropped the marti and walked into the training to continue training.
The Duke Blues are on a winning streak, and Zhang Zifeng continues to maintain an excellent and stable performance, averaging 20.8 points, 5.7 assists, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.1 steals per game. He shot 51.4 percent from the field, 47.2 percent from three-point range and 91.1 percent from the free throw line.
When Okafor was fouled badly, when Winslow was cold and desperately striking, Zhang Zifeng was able to stand up at critical moments and lead the Duke Blue Devils out of the predicament and move on.
Zhang Zifeng is the most consistent of the Duke Blue Devils' team.
Zhang Zifeng can have such a stable state, which is also the result of his uninterrupted training every day.
Exercising every day not only builds a solid foundation but also keeps your body in the best condition.
Perhaps this is the secret of Zhang Zifeng always leading the Duke Blue Devils to win!
So far this season, the Duke Blues have dominated the rankings, finishing first in the ACC league and throwing off the second-place Tar Heels by four wins.
They have the best record in the league and are on an unstoppable winning streak.
Countless people are waiting to see how many consecutive wins the Duke Blue Devils can win and who can end this record.
The winning streak has brought endless glory and attention to the Duke Blue Devils, but it has also brought endless pressure and hostility.
"In my opinion, there is no team in the NCAA right now that can beat the Duke Blues, they are too strong. In particular, I saw them win big over the Notre Dame belligerent Irish. You must know that last season, the University of Notre Dame's belligerent Irish team made Zhang Zifeng suffer and defeated them. But this season, they couldn't suppress Zhang Zifeng at all, and they were pressed and beaten by the Duke Blue Devils away from home. This season's Duke Blues team is extremely strong, both in the starting lineup and on the bench. Ah, maybe now coaches across the league are wondering what they should do when they meet the Duke Blues? How to beat the Duke Blue Devils! Mike ล aลกewski, you have to be careful. You are now the public enemy of the entire Union! โ
That's the front-page headline of USA Today's sports section.

Now that players and coaches across the league know that the Duke Blues will make it to this year's NCAA tournament, how they will face the Duke Blues has become a difficult problem in front of them.
