The man who has been nourished by love is really different, and the whole person is radiant.

Zhang Zifeng was in a happy mood and was smiling all day long.

With Chen Wei by her side, training is no longer boring.

When she was thirsty, Chen Wei would hand over a functional drink and carefully wipe her sweat with a towel.

Seeing Zhang Zifeng and Chen Wei sprinkling dog food all day long, Thornton and Knight, who used to go out to play with Zhang Zifeng every few days, didn't want to come.

But the sweet time ended in less than a week.

No matter how Zhang Zifeng was a scoundrel, before the start of school, Chen Wei still lived in the dormitory in North Carolina.

Fortunately, Duke and North Carolina are less than 30 minutes away by car, and I don't know how much better it is than before across the Pacific Ocean.

Zhang Zifeng also packed up his mood and prepared to meet the challenges of the NCAA in the new season.

Last season, Duke's interior was a big shortcoming.

In addition to Parker's sluggish performance in the loss to Mosel University, Duke's interior players scored only 10 points in the box and rebounded nine fewer than their opponents.

Rival Mosel University has 16 more points than Duke University on this statistic.

This season, Lao K learned from the pain and tried his best to recruit high school forward Jaliel Okafor.

Jaliel Okafor was the 2004 NBA Pick and Show, and Emeka Okafor is his distant cousin.

Jaril Okafor is a traditional back-to-back singles big man, with a 2.11-meter arm span and a wide range of low-post offense under the basket, which makes him a nightmare for the pair every night on the court.

Recruiting Jaliel Okafor, the old K also persuaded guard swingman Justis Winslow to enroll in Duke University to replace the vacancy left by Parker's departure.

Justis Winslow 1m 98,100kg. He is a small forward with super athleticism, and his excellent speed and explosiveness make him a very conspicuous spring man on the court.

The admission of new students Okafor, Winslow and others naturally has to give up some people to make room for these team newcomers.

After all, the NCAA stipulates that there are only a maximum of 13 people on the official roster, and the old K also excluded a few people who did not perform well last season from the roster.

When Zhang Zifeng first met Okafor, although he was very polite, it always made Zhang Zifeng feel that there was arrogance under his polite appearance.

Also, this big man is extremely talented, he was the core of the team in junior high school and high school, and led the team to win several district championships.

It's normal to be arrogant.

But Lao Tzu will let you understand that when you enter the NCAA and come to Duke, it will not be his final say.

This year, Lao Tzu is the boss of the team, and Lao Tzu will never allow anyone to disturb Lao Tzu's plan.

As the regular season in November approached, the new season for Duke University officially kicked off on October 13.

After taking such a long break during the summer vacation, Lao K also wanted to know more about the physical fitness and technical conditions of the new and old players of the team, so as to make arrangements for the next training plan.

The first day of training was a competition between freshmen and seniors!

Freshmen: Matt Jones, Tyles Jones, Winslow, Rashid and Okafor

Senior Team: Cook, Zhang Zifeng, Helstone, Jefferson, Plumlee.

As soon as the whistle blew, there was no suspense about the outcome of the jump ball.

Okafor leaps high over Plumlee and gives the racket to Winslow.

Zhang Zifeng saw: "In terms of bouncing alone, the quality of this year's Okafor is really good, I don't know what the strength is." ”

The first-year offense began, Okafor quickly ran inside and Winslow saw a lob pass to Okafor.

Okafor hit two back-to-back shots, suddenly turned and cut inside and soared into the air with a beautiful dunk to complete the offense.

The game continued, Zhang Zifeng received the ball in the front court, he did not come by himself, and passed the ball to Plumlee.

He wanted to see Okafor's strength.

Plumlee has become more mature and stable after three years of college, and he leaned on Okafor with his back to him, squeezing inside step by step.

After a bogus shake, turn around and shoot with a small hook hand.

Although the ball was finally ironed.

But seeing that Okafor was easily shaken, Zhang Zifeng shook his head. "This big man has a good offensive ability in the low post, but the defense is much worse!"

However, the card position when grabbing rebounds made Zhang Zifeng's eyes shine.

"Overall, this guy has outstanding strength and should be a good helper for himself to hit the NCAA. It's just a little arrogant, a little willful, desperately trying to show yourself! Zhang Zifeng thought, "It seems that we have to teach this Okafor a lesson, so that he can understand who is the boss of the team!" “

Switching offense and defense, Zhang Zifeng shouted at Cook as he ran forward, "Quinn, pass the ball to me!" ”

Since Parker left, those old students have automatically regarded Zhang Zifeng as the boss of the team.

Cook went up front and quickly handed the ball to Zhang Zifeng, and then the other players pulled away - it was obvious that this was a chance for Zhang Zifeng to play alone.

Zhang Zifeng stood outside the line to control the ball, and in front of him was Winslow, and it was obvious that this first-year freshman was also a guy with ideas.

But it doesn't matter, I'll beat you until you're convinced.

The dribble shook back and forth, Zhang Zifeng suddenly started, pulled the ball to his left hand, and cut into the inside line from the left like lightning, Zhang Zifeng jumped into the air.

Facing Okafor's hands raised high, Zhang Zifeng pressed the opponent and smashed the basketball into the basket.

It's not a direct dunk, but it's exciting enough.

The players in the stadium immediately boiled, and enthusiastic cheers rang out from all directions.

Okafor's eyes flashed with coldness, and the next time he attacked, he asked for the ball to beat Plumlee again.

When he pushed inside with his back to the inside, Okafor turned around and wanted to dunk.

Zhang Zifeng rushed in from behind, jumped up and covered the ball directly with one palm.

grabbed the ball, Zhang Zifeng went to the front court one by one, flashed Winslow, and made a layup.

Since last year, Zhang Zifeng has not stopped physical strength training.

From 83 kilograms when I first came to the United States, to 94 kilograms now, I have grown 11 kilograms.

With weight gain, Zhang Zifeng already has the confidence to withstand his opponent.

Zhang Zifeng kept breaking through Winslow's defense, shooting inside and out, and hitting Winslow without temper.

After teaching Winslow a lesson, Zhang Zifeng aimed at Okafor.

In the next round, after shaking Winslow, Zhang Zifeng was not lazy, and the diameter was towards the inside Okafor.

Zhang Zifeng controlled the speed and pretended to make a layup, but at this time, Okafor moved sideways to stop him.

When Okafor came over, Zhang Zifeng suddenly accelerated.

The whistle blew and Okafor blocked the foul.

"What?" Okafor was furious, it was obviously a normal defense, how could this referee blow himself for a foul.

Zhang Zifeng sneered, making a center foul is one of the skills that guards must learn.

Two minutes later, the whistle blew again.

Okafor furiously complained to the referee.

It's a pity that Okafor did not stand firm in this ball, and it was a foul.

Second foul, Okafor off.

After Okafor went down, Zhang Zifeng stopped playing singles and showed his strength to the freshmen.

With a lightning-fast cut and a quick pass, Zhang Zifeng used his breakthrough to connect the attacks of the seniors.

The senior students attacked smoothly and cooperated, and the score was instantly widened.

By halftime, the margin had been stretched to 16 points.

In the second half, Okafor returned to the court, Zhang Zifeng did not play again, sitting on the bench and watching Okafor's performance.

Zhang Zifeng is not there, Okafor is the most high-profile one on the court, relying on his continuous scoring, the point difference is gradually narrowing.

It seems that this Okafor played a bit alone, focusing on individual performances, and did not play a wonderful match with his teammates.

Winslow should have submitted himself, and this Okafor looks like it will take a few more beatings!
