Chapter Twenty-Six: Small Actions and Black Hands (Part II)
Parker was still indignant when he came out, "That damn bastard, it's fucking disgusting!" ”
Old K looked at his players and shouted, "Are you scared? ”
All the players shouted in unison, "No, Coach!" ”
The always gentle old K roared at this time, "I know you won't be afraid, we Duke players have never known to be afraid." Don't be intimidated by those kids, give them some color. I want you to fight them until they ask for a timeout. Do you understand? ”
"Understood, Coach!" The Blue Devils player clenched his fists and roared.
Old K stretched out his hand and shouted, "Parker and Vince Law, you come down and rest, Jack and Plumlee come up." One, two, three, who are we? ”
The players all threw themselves on it and shouted, "Blue Devils! ”
When Zhang Zifeng took off his coat, assistant coach Collison walked over and whispered, "Remember those tricks you said when you were teaching defense?" ”
Zhang Zifeng winked at Collison and said, "Hehe, I understand!" ”
Collison patted Zhang Zifeng's shoulder and said, "Just a little punishment, don't hurt the other party!" ”
"Of course, I'm a good person!" Zhang Zifeng said.
Zhang Zifeng said to Parker before he came on the court: "Jabari, I will help you get revenge!" ”
Parker heard, "Thanks, Jack. How careful you are when you play! ”
Zhang Zifeng ran up to the court and said to Cook, "Quinn, wait until you go to the front court and pass the ball to me!" ”
Quake was stunned for a moment, "What? ”
Zhang Zifeng slapped his ass and said, "Let me come, believe me!" ”
After Warren made free throws, it was North Carolina that continued to have the ball.
Seeing that it was the so-called defensive expert Zhang Zifeng who was defending himself, Warren said proudly, "Did Lao K let you play to act as a background board?" ”
Zhang Zifeng looked at him like an idiot.
After receiving the serve, Warren saw the referee standing next to him, a high hang, and passed the ball to Johnson on the inside.
Behind Johnson is Plumlee.
Marshall Plumlee, who entered Duke University in 2011, although he has a height of 2.11 meters, he has average physical fitness and rough skills, so he plays more roles as substitutes.
He doesn't have good skills, but he can't stand up to having two older brothers.
Big brother Miles Plumlee, who entered Duke University in 2008, entered the 2012 draft, was drafted by the Indiana Pacers with the 26th pick in the first round, and now plays for the Suns.
Second brother Mason Plumlee, who entered Duke University in 2009, entered the draft in 2013 and was selected by the Brooklyn Nets with the 22nd pick in the first round.
There are two older brothers who personally instruct him, and Plumlee's small movements are called smooth.
When grabbing a rebound, his arm will be on the opponent's shoulder, so that the opponent can't pick it up.
When grabbing rebounds, the swinging iron elbow is intimidating.
As for the knee on the calf, the elbow against the chest......
Hehehe!
As soon as he came up, Plumlee told everyone in North Carolina not to fucking think Duke was a soft egg.
Plumlee and Johnson engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand fight near the penalty area, with the two fierce men pushing and wrestling each other like a wrestling match.
When fighting for the position, the hands of the two people did not stop, and they vigorously greeted the referee where they could not see, pinching and pinching.
If it weren't for the fear that the other party would use the same move, I am afraid that the two of them would go directly down the three roads as soon as they made a move.
Under Plumlee's close entanglement, Johnson struck the iron.
Jefferson shot the basketball and threw it to Cook.
Cook rushed to the front court with the ball like a whirlwind and passed the ball to Zhang Zifeng.
If it was before, Zhang Zifeng would not have forcibly broken through and wasted the opportunity.
But now!
Zhang Zifeng broke through to Warren's left side with a forced acceleration.
"Yellow-skinned monkey, don't think you can break through!" Warren clinged closely, and his left hand still wanted to break Zhang Zifeng's ball.
Zhang Zifeng hurriedly raised the ball with his left hand, and when he swung it back, he inadvertently "lightly touched" Warren's abdomen about an inch below.
Zhang Zifeng really just "touched it lightly", and it was "unintentional".
After all, in such a fierce competition, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents.
Warren was beaten hard, and suddenly stopped, his face distorted, and he was hunched over and covered his sore spots, and tears flowed out.
Without the interference of defenders, Zhang Zifeng easily made a layup in front of Warren.
After Zhang Zifeng landed, he looked at Warren who was bowed, "The coach sent the most ruthless!" ”
In the NBA, basically all defensive experts are small action specialists. It can also be said that without small movements, you can't become a defensive expert.
Warren was speechless in pain, and Pego hurriedly shouted at the referee. "Referee, he's fouled!"
The referee shook his head, indicating that he did not see it, and the game continued.
When Duke's teammates ran back, Zhang Zifeng slapped his ass as they passed by. "Well done, man!"
"Bastard!" Warren looked at Zhang Zifeng's back and scolded in a low voice.
In the following games, the North Carolina players continued to play small moves from time to time.
But Duke's players are not vegetarians, and under the leadership of Zhang Zifeng and Marshall Plumlee, they are also full of small moves.
The players on both sides come and go, making both sides uncomfortable and injured.
And there are many small actions, and there are more mistakes, and the shooting hits plummet, and both sides have not scored high points during this time, and they can only get a few points through free throws.
For every ball, players on both sides have to complain to the referee that the opponent is playing dirty.
The referee saw that the situation was about to get out of control, and the referee became more and more severe, as long as someone reached out and immediately blew the whistle, several players were saddled with two or three fouls.
Both sides saw that the referee blew strictly, and neither dared to commit crimes against the wind, and the game finally returned to normal.
At 11 minutes and 24 seconds into the first half, seeing that Zhang Zifeng had completed the task, Lao K, who was very dissatisfied with the offense, waved his hand.
Zhang Zifeng is down, Parker is up. Plumlee continued to stay on the pitch to shock his opponents.
When Parker came on, he was determined to teach his opponent a good lesson.
Jefferson came up to try to make a single block for Parker, and Parker motioned for his teammates to go away and he wanted to play alone.
Seeing that Parker was about to single Warren, Cook and the others hurriedly ran to the side and pulled the defender away.
When Parker lowered his center of gravity and accelerated to the right, he suddenly pulled his right hand to pass the ball to his left hand, and Warren was busy moving sideways to prevent Parker from breaking through.
Taking a step forward with his left hand, Parker suddenly makes a sharp stop, then accelerates to the left, pauses again, and accelerates again.
With Parker's rhythm changing on two consecutive dribbles, Warren couldn't keep up.
The center of gravity of the body was adjusted too quickly, Warren did not stand firmly, and the whole person fell to the ground.
Seeing Warren's embarrassed appearance, there was a huge laugh from the bench at Duke University, mocking Warren.
Parker broke through along the baseline, and Johnson on the side hurried up to make up for it.
With a change of hand, Parker shook off Johnson and burst inside.
Filled with rage, Parker jumped to his feet, pulled his right hand away, met McAdoo, and dunked the ball into the basket.
After getting rid of two defenders, Parker actually dunked McAdoo!
North Carolina fans were stunned for a moment, all staring at the scene in front of them with wide eyes, their mouths wide open, unable to speak.
The Duke players watched in amazement as Parker slammed into the dunk, and they quickly reacted.
The players on the bench all stood up, desperately waving their towels in their hands.
The hoop vibrated violently as Parker tugged!
When Parker lets go of his hand and falls off the basket. yelled at the North Carolina player, "Go on, I'm not afraid of you!" ”
Unlike the tsunami of cheers at Cameron Arena, the Dean Smith Center was greeted with overwhelming boos from Parker.
Listening to the boos and scolding coming from all over the arena, Parker didn't care, and ran back, ready for the next challenge.
Cook and Jefferson ran over and hugged Parker, "Hey, buddy...... It's so ......, I don't even know how to describe it. The guys in North Carolina must have been. Buy cakes, this ball is so fucking relieving! ”
I'm fucking shaken up!
Lao Tzu fucking played this dog bastard at Duke University in front of the North Carolina fans in front of the whole stadium!
Looking at Parker's high spirits, the dissatisfied eyes of North Carolina fans deeply stung Warren, the star of North Carolina.
Warren stared at Parker with red eyes, his eyes full of viciousness.
I'm not going to let you get better. This is a great shame, I will definitely repay you well.
The game continued, and Warren, who had lost face on the defensive end, naturally wanted to find his way back on the offensive end.
Receiving the ball in the front court, Warren sank, accelerated, and broke through.
Parker moved quickly, clinging to Warren.
Parker, who was angry, showed all his strength, used his height and long arm length to force Warren, and took the confrontation allowed by the rules to the extreme.
Under Parker's full harassment, Warren's breakaway layup missed.
Plumlee grabbed the rebound with Johnson on his shoulder.
Parker received the ball and rushed to the front court to face Warren, who was following the defense.
Parker controls the ball with his right hand and leans his upper body to the left as if he wants to break through from the left.
Warren adjusts his center of gravity and moves his body to the left.
Parker saw that with a flip of his right wrist, he hooked the ball to the left to the right, and accelerated with his right hand to get rid of Warren, like a knife cutting tofu, burst into the basket, and made a layup.
21:25。
Parker scored four straight points to cut North Carolina's lead to four.
The head coach of North Carolina saw that the situation was not good, and quickly called a timeout.
"What are you doing? I want you to defend, defend at all costs, and now what do I see? Williams roared loudly, "Do you want to be here, in front of all the North Carolina fans, let him go wild?" ”
All the players lowered their heads, and it was clear that it was irrational to anger Williams at this time.
"I don't care what you do, even if it's a foul. As long as he can't score, that's what I want. Don't let me see each other on our turf again! Williams continued to roar.
At the end of the timeout, North Carolina had the ball, and with Duke trying his best to defend, North Carolina couldn't find a chance to attack for a while.
In desperation, with four seconds left in the clock, Pavez made a strong spurt, and then suddenly stepped back and made a pull-up jump shot.
Reluctantly, the ball hit the basket and bounced right on Warren's side, which rushed inside.
Warren received the ball, hit the penalty area, jumped up with both legs, grabbed the basketball with both hands and wanted to dunk.
He's going to use this ball performance to show Duke's bastard that he's the king here.
Warren wants to show himself, and he wants to prove to the fans that he is the core of North Carolina and can carry the North Carolina lesson to Duke.
Just when Warren was full of confidence, Parker's big palm appeared behind Warren, and with a snap, the ball that Warren grabbed was directly slapped by Parker on the rebound and flew away from his hand.
Warren's face became very gloomy, and the originally good idea turned into an opportunity for Parker to perform, and he hated Parker more and more in his heart.
Seeing Parker walk back to the half court with a smug face, Warren's eyes were full of gloom.
"There is no doubt that a dunk will greatly boost the morale of the team, but it's a pity that Warren ran into Parker, who is even more powerful!" Brin said.
"yes, maybe that's what makes Warren inferior to Parker. Warren has a fierce style of play but lacks range, and his main means of scoring are in the box. He needs to practice his mid-to-long-range shooting, otherwise it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the NBA without the means to score! Van Gundy Jr. said.
Williams, on the sidelines, yelled at Warren to express his displeasure, and in the blink of an eye, Duke handed over to Parker in the next offensive round.
This time, Parker directly shot with a feint, then dipped a shot, and used his speed to tear through Warren's defense and go straight to the inside.
"Defense, defense, haven't you learned?" Williams yelled on the sidelines.
Throwing off Warren, only Johnson is left on the inside, and although the defense is very active, the effect is not very good.
For Parker, that's the best role player to play as a backdrop.
With full confidence, Parker jumped high and was ready to smash the ball into the basket.
I'm not as good as him!
I can't win him!
If I lose today, what will the North Carolina fans think of me!
What would the scouts say about me!
No, no, I can't lose, I want to win!
I'm going to win!
Warren was provoked by Parker's repeated irritation, and his anger scorched his sanity.
He rushed forward and slapped down with his big hand.
"Be careful!" At this time, Jefferson's voice on the side drilled into Parker's ears, and before Parker could react, a huge force hit behind him.
A slap on Parker's head.
Under the huge impact of force, Parker's body center of gravity was completely lost, and he fell directly to the baseline.
When Parker fell to the floor, he subconsciously propped himself up with his hands.
Fortunately, his hand was propped up, and his body did not fall directly to the ground.
But instantly, it hurts!
The pain in my wrist instantly spread throughout my body, and the sweat on my forehead gushed out like a spring.
Parker clutched his wrists, and lay half-curled on the floor.
The referee saw that someone was injured and hurriedly blew the whistle and the game was suspended!
This scene in front of them shocked many people, and no one expected that things would suddenly happen like this.
“FUCK!” Jefferson, who was closest to the ground, rushed over just to punch Warren in the face.
The referee immediately blew the whistle and rushed up to knock Jefferson and Warren, almost with Jefferson's fist on the verge of hitting Warren in the face.
The players gathered around, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.
The doctor rushed over with a medicine box to check on Parker's injuries.
One referee and two assistant referees rushed up to control the situation.
"It's not fucking playing at all, it's murder, and that bastard is trying to just scrap my players. Are you blind? Old K shouted at the referee on the field.
The players on the bench all stood on the sidelines, if it weren't for the rule that the substitute players couldn't enter the field, otherwise they would have rushed to the sidelines, Zhang Zifeng almost rushed to trouble Warren, but fortunately he was hugged by Vince Law.
Brin, Collins, and Brown in the commentary booth were also stunned by what they saw.
Duke fans in front of the TV were completely furious, and many smashed their beer glasses on the ground and shouted that they would drive to North Carolina to make Warren pay.
Soon everyone's attention fell on the team doctor, and at this moment, the Duke players on the court were gathered around Parker waiting for the team doctor's examination.
Old K is anxious, Parker is the star of the Blue Devils, and he is the most important player.
He anxiously asked, "How is it?" How is Jabari's injury? ”
The team doctor carefully examined Parker's wrist and breathed a sigh of relief, at least the current situation is not bad, Parker's wrist is not the most serious fracture, it may be a soft tissue injury, but the final result needs to be sent to the hospital for CT confirmation.
The team doctor said, "I need to go to the hospital to confirm, this game is impossible to continue!" ”
Parker was led down the tunnel by the team doctor to be taken to the hospital by car.
Once Parker was gone, there was a long replay of the footage, with players from both sides sitting on the bench waiting for the results.
In the end, after repeated confirmation by the referee, Warren was given a first-degree foul, and Duke was given two free throws and possession.
Hitting the opponent's head when blocking is a common occurrence in basketball.
In this case, it is difficult for the referee to determine whether the defender intends to hurt the opponent.
In many cases, the referee can only award a convict at most, to express his meaning, and sometimes he does not even have this comfort.
The most important general under Lao Tzu was sent to the hospital before a first-degree malicious foul was sentenced!
Old K was very dissatisfied and yelled and argued with the referee.
On the ground, the referee on the field is the biggest.
No matter how dissatisfied Lao K was, the referee just didn't uphold the original verdict.
If it weren't for Lao K's high prestige, he would have given him a T long ago just because he kept roaring at him.
Seeing that the referee was determined not to decide, Old K walked back to Duke's seat with hatred.
Old K slammed the tactical board hard and shouted, "Damn, Jack, you're on the field." We've got to win this game, do you hear me? ”
Parker was overcast, and Duke was angry and shouted in unison, "Yes, Coach!" ”
Duke was hell-bent on winning the game for Parker, but without Parker, Duke's outside advantage was gone.
To make matters worse, without Parker, the tactics designed around him could not continue.
Without a core, Duke's tactics were completely out of order.
Parker was here, and Hood didn't dare to mess around.
But now that Parker is gone, Hood feels like he's the boss of the team, even if it's temporary, but it's not the boss.
Since he is the boss, he naturally has some privileges, such as unlimited firing rights.
The confident Hood received a pass from Cook and ran to the front court to open his hand for an unreasonable three-pointer.
Strike iron!
There was a problem with Duke's offense, and North Carolina would not feel guilty about Parker's injury and would be merciful in the game.
Now they're more like winning, hurting Parker, and losing the game in the end, so it's really a loss of face.
Led by Warren and Vepas, Duke is bombarded indiscriminately, and Warren rushes inside like he is carrying a bag of explosives.
Hood's defense is an ornament, Cook's defense is average, and the Blue Devils' defense on the outside this year is really not very good.
Even if Zhang Zifeng was beaten with iron, he couldn't stop the enemy's repeated impacts.
At halftime, Warren's breakaway dunk gave North Carolina a nine-point lead, and the entire Smith Arena resounded with huge cheers.
They couldn't cheer loudly when Parker was injured, but many of the radical fans were secretly happy in their hearts, and now that the team had overtaken the score, they were completely unbridled in celebration.
"At halftime, Duke trailed North Carolina 34-43. I've had a lot of bad halfs, but the Blues were really bad this time. ”
Jackson said, "yes, when Parker comes off the court, Duke is like he can't play." There is no system at all, everyone is fighting in their own way. If this continues, I can tell that Duke is a loser tonight! ”
Van Gundy said, "Old K needs to come up with a solution, not only tonight, but also in the next game, although it is not clear what happened to Parker's injury, but with the situation at the time, at least half a month will not be able to play, Duke needs someone to stand up and carry the offensive banner." ”
