Chapter 4: Heads-up (I)
The coach is in a meeting and the players are doing simple training.
When Zhang Zifeng was shooting training, a ball rolled towards him, and when he was about to pick it up and throw it back to his teammates, a shrill voice suddenly sounded.
"Hey! Yellow-skinned monkey, pick up the ball! ”
Zhang Zifeng raised his head and saw that on the other side of the basketball court, a black man shouted arrogantly at him.
"You're deaf, you don't hear. Pick up the ball, Yellow Monkey! ”
It's normal to help pick up balls on the basketball court, but Nima's.
Yellow-skinned monkeys?
Grass your uncle!
Zhang Zifeng didn't even want to raise his middle finger at the other party, "FUCK......"
Seeing that Hood wanted to show his might but didn't expect to insult the other party and give him a middle finger, several members of the team together suddenly laughed, pointed at the black man and shouted, "Rodney, you can't do it at all, this Chinese doesn't bird you at all!" ”
Hood felt that he had completely lost face, and when he came over, he wanted to come over and beat Zhang Zifeng.
Although Hood is nearly two meters, Zhang Zifeng is afraid of anyone in the fight.
Seeing the other party coming over angrily, Zhang Zifeng went up and prepared to make a move.
Seeing that the players were about to clash, Steve Wojciechowski, the assistant coach in charge of team management, immediately rushed out and shouted, "Hey, what are you two doing?" Do you want to kick out the school team! ”
It took a lot of hard work to come to Duke University and get a scholarship, who would dare to give up easily.
Zhang Zifeng and Hu De didn't dare to make a move.
Hood rolled his eyes and said, "No, sir." I'm just curious why Duke University would admit a Chinese, you know that the American basketball game is very intense, I'm afraid this Chinese can't cope! ”
Hearing this guy question Lao Tzu's strength, and secretly satirize the Chinese players.
Listening to the disdainful ridicule and cynicism around him, it fell on Zhang Zifeng's ears,
Zhang Zifeng was suddenly angry!
Lao Tzu didn't come here to be ridiculed and sarcastic by you.
"If you don't believe it, you can go it alone." Zhang Zifeng put away his smile and said expressionlessly.
"Yo!?" Hood also seemed to be interested, he peeked at the coach next to him, Lao K, and saw that he had no intention of objecting, so he immediately became bold and said, "Are you challenging me?" ”
"If you're not afraid of being beaten up, come on!" Zhang Zifeng said.
Hu De was not frightened by Zhang Zifeng at all, but looked at Zhang Zifeng playfully. "Okay, no problem!"
"Aren't we going to stop them?" Seeing that the situation was escalating, James, the assistant coach on the side, was a little worried.
James went to China to scout the players, and finally selected Zhang Zifeng's scout for the Blue Devils.
Basically, most of the players of the Blue Devils team are inspected by him, and then he writes reports to the old K, and takes videos for him to watch, so that he can decide on the players.
So James is very familiar with these players, and he is vaguely worried.
"Let's see." Old K stopped his subordinates, and he wanted to observe this Chinese more intuitively.
Other people sneered at Zhang Zifeng, but Lao K didn't care.
In his opinion, since it is easier to get into the Duke Blue Devils than everyone else, it is also deserving to suffer more than the others.
If Zhang Zifeng is really good, then Lao K can consider retracting his original idea.
Give the wild card Chinese a chance.
The head-to-head between freshman Zhang Zifeng and Hood suddenly ignited a trace of enthusiasm on the originally boring court.
The other players immediately avoided half of the pitch for them.
Judging by the gloating expressions of these people, it is obvious that they are eager to see someone being humiliated and let them have fun.
Seeing that Zhang Zifeng was going to fight Hood alone, James found that he was a little nervous.
Although he always thought that Zhang Zifeng's skills were good, he would recommend them to Lao K. But when Zhang Zifeng really faced the American players, he was also interesting and worried.
Will it work? James didn't know what to do.
Hood is a transfer student.
Having just transferred to Duke from the University of Mississippi this year, he averaged 9.8 points per game in the NCAA last season, which is not at all the same level as a rookie like Zhang Zifeng.
Ignoring other thoughts, Zhang Zifeng knew that this was a battle that could never be lost.
He didn't want to be looked down upon by his coaches and teammates as soon as he came to Duke!
It's about your future in the team.
Zhang Zifeng doesn't want to stay on the bench all season and watch others play, he is determined to play in the NBA.
Bear down!
Hood threw the ball to him and pretended to be relaxed, "Let you go first, others in the province will not give you a chance!" ”
Zhang Zifeng was not polite, and received the ball and dribbled the ball cross.
Hood sank down and shouted, "I won't let you break through!" ”
"You don't have the ability!" Zhang Zifeng stared at the other party, took a small step to the left with his right foot, and when he dribbled with his left hand, he opened his feet to the right at the same time and jumped.
Hit the ground with your left foot first, step quickly out with your right foot, and dribble with your right hand while stepping down, pretending to cut inside from the right. While dribbling the ball with his right hand, he quickly pulled the bow and turned to the right.
Seeing Hood's footsteps move a little to the right, Zhang Zifeng immediately jumped up with both feet open at the same time, landed with his right foot first, stepped out quickly with his left foot, and changed his crotch to his left hand to control the ball at the same time.
The neat butterfly wears the flower steps, and the speed is fast.
Hood was deceived into changing his defensive pace continuously, and his body's center of gravity adjusted too quickly, and he couldn't keep up with the shaking and fell.
Hood, who fell to the ground, watched Zhang Zifeng rush past him and kill the inside.
Jumping up on the top of the circle arc in the penalty area, his right hand was raised high back, and Zhang Zifeng flew towards the basket.
As soon as Zhang Zifeng's movements were seen, everyone present knew what he wanted to do.
Slam dunk!
Hood's arrogance towards himself and his sarcasm for the Chinese players made Zhang Zifeng grit his teeth and smash the ball to the basket with all his might.
Touch!
The basket shook under Zhang Zifeng's pull.
After landing on the ground, Zhang Zifeng slapped his chest with his palm and roared. "See no, idiot! Lao Tzu dunked on your head! ”
Looking at Zhang Zifeng's high spirits and listening to the ridicule of others, Hood was deeply stung by it.
Hood, who was red-eyed, just wanted to clench his fists and punch Zhang Zifeng, but saw the coach watching from the side.
Hu De stared at Zhang Zifeng coldly, put aside his cruel words and said, "You wait, I will definitely make you regret making me angry!" ”
Starting again, Zhang Zifeng continued to dribble, and the rhythm became faster and faster.
Zhang Zifeng stepped forward with his right foot, ready to break through.
Breakthrough, emergency stop, breakthrough again, emergency stop again, Zhang Zifeng took advantage of the change in rhythm to shake off Hood's defense and make a layup.
Picking up the falling ball, Zhang Zifeng said arrogantly, "Hey, idiot, two balls!" ”
Hu Deqi looked at Zhang Zifeng with a gloomy face, "Come again!" ”
Hood didn't dare to take it lightly now, as soon as he saw Zhang Zifeng receiving the ball, he pounced on Zhang Zifeng and stuck to Zhang Zifeng, his right hand was raised high, and his left hand was ready to cut off the ball in his hand at any time.
Zhang Zifeng hurriedly dribbled with his back and tentatively bumped into it a few times, but found that he couldn't hit Hood at all.
The weakness in strength made Zhang Zifeng unable to create good opportunities under Hood's tight defense.
I tried several times in a row, but there was no good chance of breakthrough.
Hood kept sarcastically saying in the back, "Hey, you can't break through Uncle Ben, don't waste time." ”
"Don't you have the strength? It's not as powerful as last night's slut on Uncle Ben, and they all say you're a piece of trash. Come on, let Uncle Ben see your strength! ”
Time passed little by little, Zhang Zifeng couldn't break through, and in a hurry, he suddenly turned around and threw a backward jumper.
Hood was defenseless for a moment, and by the time he reacted, the ball was already flying towards the rebound.
Poof, the basketball is dressed up in the basket.
Three to 0.
Although the ball was scored, Zhang Zifeng was not happy.
The oppression of the opponent's defense is something I have never felt before.
The ball was barely hit, and it was pure luck to score a goal.
The thrill of scoring before disappeared from his mind, and Zhang Zifeng felt a hint of crisis.
Holding the ball and facing Hood again, seeing that he was about to pounce, Zhang Zifeng stepped back with the ball, and his body looked like he was jumping.
Hood was fooled, and he jumped up in a hurry.
Zhang Zifeng's body sank, rushed past him with the ball, and just jumped up to make a layup.
Suddenly, there was a tingling pain in his waist, Zhang Zifeng relented for a while, and reluctantly picked the ball to the basket.
Bang! The iron is struck!
Mannerisms!
This little action was very subtle and too fast for the coaches to see.
Even if he sees it, the coach is afraid and won't say anything, because in basketball, the small actions of defensive players can be said to be commonplace.
Attacking players have to be adaptable!
Zhang Zifeng also knew this, gritted his teeth and did not complain to the coach, but threw the ball to Hood.
