Time is pressing, there is not much time for the players to hone in on the new tactics, and it takes five days for the players to roughly remember the basic situation of the tactics and remember their respective running positions.

On February 16, 2014, the Duke University Blue Devils will host the University of Michigan Wolverine.

Founded in 1817 and located in Michigan, the University of Michigan is one of the oldest public universities in the United States, known as the "Public Ivy" and "Model of Public Universities", and together with universities such as the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, it represents the highest level of public universities in the United States and enjoys a prestigious reputation around the world.

As one of the world's top comprehensive research universities, the University of Michigan is ranked 14th in the world in the 2014 US News World University Rankings.

In addition to their academic fame, the University of Michigan Wolverines are also a traditional NCAA powerhouse and belong to the top 10 leagues.

The Wolverines are not just a basketball team, they are the name of 27 men's and women's teams at the University of Michigan, with men's basketball and football being the most famous.

The University of Michigan is the only U.S. university to have won the NCAA four-ball Grand Slam (national championships in basketball, baseball, ice hockey, and rugby), including two championships in baseball, 11 in football, one in men's basketball, and nine in men's ice hockey.

In 1989, the University of Michigan Wolverines defeated the Shelton Hall University Buccaneers in Seattle to win the NCAA Basketball National Championship.

The most famous basketball player produced by the Wolverines is former Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovic, the famous NCAA basketball duo of the Michigan Five (Chris Webb, Juwan Howard, Jalen Rose, Ray Jackson and Jamie King).

In the '91 NCAA Finals, the Michigan Five Tigers lost to Lightner, Grant. Duke University, led by Hill, lost the championship.

Duke's most hostile enemy is North Carolina, but the biggest rival for Duke is the University of Michigan.

After the live DJ introduced the University of Michigan players amid a boo, it was the turn of the Duke players.

Wearing the No. 14 jersey, Zhang Zifeng stood in the corridor with his eyes closed.

He was the first to play today.

With the roar of the live DJ, as soon as he ran out of the players' tunnel, Zhang Zifeng was greeted by the huge cheers of Duke Blue Devils fans.

Thinking of the dispensable applause in the first game, and then listening to the deafening cheers now, Zhang Zifeng sighed with emotion.

How much sweat I have paid for this treatment.

Ten minutes on stage, ten years off the stage.

Don't lie to me!

I started today's game and I entered a new starting point.

Since he has come up, Lao Tzu will never allow anyone to step on it again.

Even if Parker comes back from injury, it won't work.

Zhang Zifeng clapped his hands with the fans on the left and ran into the stadium with a resolute expression.

Standing on the court and looking up at the nearly 10,000 fans in the stadium, Zhang Zifeng, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was a little nervous.

One by one, the Duke players ran onto the court, Parker was injured, and captain Jefferson was the last to play the finale.

Looking at Zhang Zifeng's tense body, Jefferson smiled as he passed by and clapped his hands, "Jack, take it easy, it's just a game, don't be nervous!" ”

Hearing the captain Jefferson say Zhang Zifeng, Cook and Plumlee both smiled and made fun of Zhang Zifeng, only the bastard Hood was full of mockery.

If you lose, you don't lose!

Who is Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu is Zhang Zifeng!

Zhang Zifeng tried to adjust his breathing, relaxed his body, and said: "I'm not nervous, it's just that I am very excited to start today!" ”

Jefferson heard it and said in understanding, "Then work harder and score more points today!" ”

Zhang Zifeng nodded.

The game is about to start and the referee is standing on the halfway line with the ball.

Seeing Zhang Zifeng starting today, many people are looking at Zhang Zifeng, especially those scouts, who want to know if Zhang Zifeng can continue his excellent performance as a starter.

After all, the starter and the substitute are different, the substitute needs to bear much less pressure, even if he loses, no one will blame a substitute.

But the main force is different, in addition to the opponent will pay more attention to the face of a tighter defense, after the loss is also to bear the responsibility of the loss.

If Zhang Zifeng still performs well in the starter, they will raise their evaluation of Zhang Zifeng.

With his current performance, the first round of this year's NBA draft is not easy to say, and the second round is proper, after all, the Chinese market behind him is too eye-catching.

In this game against the University of Michigan, Lao K wanted to know how the tactics with Hood as the core were effective, and the main tactics in the opening game were around Hood.

Although Zhang Zifeng was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to argue with Lao K, so he could only silently say in his heart, Zhang Zifeng, you have to fight!

With the referee's whistle, the University of Michigan Wolverines vs. Duke Blues officially began.

Away Duke University starting lineup: Cook at point guard 1.88 meters, Zhang Zifeng at scoring guard 1.97 meters, Hood at small forward 2.03 meters, Jefferson at power forward 2.08 meters, and Plumlee at center 2.13 meters;

Parker was injured, and the old K felt that the firepower on the outside had decreased, so he decided to start the 2.13-meter Plumlee, hoping to control the rebound.

University of Michigan starting lineup: Point guard 1.85 meters for Applelin, scoring guard 1.98 meters for Nick Stauskas, small forward 1.98 meters Glenn Robinson III, power forward 2.08 meters for Mitch McGarry, center 2.09 meters Penny.

Jumping the ball in the middle circle, Duke University rarely grabbed the ball, and Plumlee slapped the ball into Hood's hands.

Zhang Zifeng hurriedly ran towards the front court, and as soon as he ran to the front court, he saw Hood easily break through the interior and make a layup.

Before Zhang Zifeng could stop, the opponent had already served, and then ran towards the half court of Duke University at a gallop.

Speaking of which, the University of Michigan's offense this season is very fast, a bit of the Suns bombardment style that Nash is in.

With the exception of the center, the other four positions are all guys who can shoot well.

Their tactics are simple, just run and throw.

With a bang, he ran to the front court, taking advantage of the fact that the opponent's defense line was not arranged, whoever controlled the ball could burst and shoot if he couldn't.

It's such a simple and rough style of play, but the effect is very good, so far this season, with a record of 18 wins and 4 losses, ranking second in the top ten leagues.

Zhang Zifeng turned around and hurriedly ran back to the half court to find his defensive object.

Just a few steps after running a few steps, he heard the cheers of the audience, Zhang Zifeng raised his head and saw that the ball had fallen into the net.

What else could Zhang Zifeng say, he could only turn around and run towards the front court.

The guy who switched offense and defense, and Zhang Zifeng was Glenn Robinson III.

He's not famous, but he has a well-known father — Big Dog Glenn Robinson, a former NBA star and a natural super scorer.

Glenn Robinson III inherited his father's excellent physical qualities and was very athletic. But it's a pity that there is no way for his father to attack, he has a mediocre mid-to-long shot, and his scoring mainly relies on scoring in the penalty area after breaking through.

In addition to his physical qualities, Glenn Robinson III inherited his father's bad habit of not liking defense.

Seeing Zhang Zifeng running, Glenn Robinson III followed lazily.

There are a lot of empty spaces, if Parker has not been injured before, the ball has been passed to Zhang Zifeng's hands, and he can easily shoot.

Unfortunately, Parker is injured, and now it is Hood who is in control.

Hood received the ball up front, and he found that Nick Stauskas, who was defending him, had a lot of holes in his defense, and he didn't even sink much at the waist.

Hood made a tentative breakthrough and easily shook off the opponent.

Breakouts, layups, scoring, it's easy and easy.

The University of Michigan didn't pay much attention to the goal conceded.

Their strategy is simple, score, score, score.

Attack against attack, it doesn't matter how many points you concede, just score more points than you.

Before the Duke players could run back, they were racing towards the front and ready to attack.

Seeing the opponent run again, the Duke players can only run with it.

Five or six seconds before the University of Michigan reached the frontcourt, while the Duke team was still settled.

Stauskars took two consecutive cross-stepping, followed by a big step, to get rid of Hood, quickly slotted inside and hit a pull-up jump shot to get away with the whole body.

Both teams had a very high shooting percentage at the beginning of the game, and the two sides went head-to-head, and after a few minutes, the score skyrocketed.

Just 6 minutes and 23 seconds later, the score was 28-21.

So far, following Hood to run over and over, Zhang Zifeng has run for five or six minutes, that is, taking advantage of the chaos to get an opportunity and shoot 2 points.

Hood was outstanding, scoring 14 points alone, accounting for more than half of the team's scores. It was his goal that kept Duke clinging to the score.

Although the score is only 7 points away, the time is just over eighth, and there is still a lot of time.

But Old K's brow kept furrowing.

The pace of the game was too fast, and the University of Michigan brought the pace of the game up, and Hood, who was the core of the team, did not control the rhythm well, but ran too much with the opponent.

It's the rhythm of the game that the University of Michigan likes, but it's not the one that Duke likes.

Duke University also requires speed, and it requires fast ball transfer, not blindly pursuing speed.

In addition, Plumlee was put into the starting lineup today, just to take advantage of the height advantage of the inside.

Running like this will not waste the advantage of the inside line in vain.

What's more, running back and forth like this is something that the other Duke players are uncomfortable with.

The game lasted almost six minutes, and it took a lot of physical strength to run back and forth, but the number of times I touched the ball was very small.

With the exception of Hood, who had been in possession of the ball, the other players gradually became less active defensively and less running when attacking.

Old K decisively called a short timeout.
