I'm a little arrogant, and I'm slapping people in the face now.

Zhang Zifeng shook his head, cleaned up his mood, and walked into the locker room.

After Lao K walked into the locker room, he stood in front of the tactical board, took a marker and said while drawing, "We didn't play well in the second half of the first half, and the opponent used the three-two regional alliance to limit Jack, which paralyzed our offensive system. In the second half we were going to change our tactics and Jones you came on instead of Cook. Jack, Winslow, Jones, you guys push harder, move the ball faster, run up, and disrupt the opponent's defensive system. Got it? ”

"Yes, Coach!"

'In attack we have to take our chances, but it's going to be the defence that will decide the outcome of today's game. The opposition's attack is mainly caused by Pagos cutting quickly inside and passing to the most suitable teammate at the most opportune time. The Bulldogs also relied on this set of tactics to defeat all the heroes all the way and reach the quarterfinals. The existence of Pagos can give full play to the advantages of the three interior lines of the bulldog. If you want to restrain a pit bull, you must first restrain a pagos. In the second half, Zhang Zifeng left it up to you to guard Pagos. As long as you can limit Pagos, we'll have a chance to win the game. Do you understand? ”

"Understood, Coach!" Zhang Zifeng nodded.

When half-time came, the Bulldogs lineup remained unchanged, but the Blue Devils changed two main players.

Three-point inconsistency, but more impactful Jones replaced Cook.

Vince Law, who can run and grab rebounds, replaces Jefferson.

At the beginning of the second half, Okafor sent the ball, and Zhang Zifeng took the ball straight to the front.

Winslow, Jones, and Vince Law followed.

Hit the front court, facing Williams, Zhang Zifeng stopped and jumped up.

"Shooting? Don't be delusional! Williams was ready to jump up and stretch out his hand to block it.

"Who said Lao Tzu is shooting!" Zhang Zifeng faked the true pass, and a cross was handed over to Jones, who was following him.

As soon as Jones received the ball, he rushed inside.

Zhang Zifeng ran to the right baseline, and Winslow ran 45 degrees to the left.

Jones hit the free-throw line, and the Bulldogs were getting ready to wrap up.

Jones spun around and passed the ball diagonally to Winslow, who burst inside with the ball.

With continuous passes, the Bulldogs' defensive line was limited and chaotic, and they didn't notice that Okafor had run to the middle.

Zhang Zifeng ran from the left to the middle, and Williams, who had been following Zhang Zifeng, was blocked by Okafor.

Pargos and Sabonis were in a hurry, they dropped their defenders and ran to Zhang Zifeng.

As soon as Winslow saw Zhang Zifeng running out of space, he immediately passed the ball.

Zhang Zifeng did not pause when he received the ball, and jumped up directly to shoot.

The ball streaked across the sky and fell into the Nets amid a wail from the Bulldogs fans, in exchange for excited cheers from the Blue Devils fans.

Three-pointers were made, 31-30, and only one point behind.

The pit bull served, and it was still Bergos who was in possession, and he pushed forward with the ball. "Don't worry, it's just a goal, let's go get it back!"

Pagos's words reinvigorated the Bulldogs players from the blow of the ball just now.

"I heard you, but I'm not going to let you get away with it! This game is won when ours! Zhang Zifeng shouted.

At this moment, Pagos saw that defending himself had become Zhang Zifeng, "We will definitely defeat you, you wait and see!" ”

"Then give it a try!" Zhang Zifeng stuck it up, and his hands wrapped around each other like pythons.

Pargos tried to get rid of it, but Zhang Zifeng was like a kraft candy, pestering him to death, and from time to time he used his body to put pressure on the opponent, so that the opponent could not dribble the ball comfortably.

At this moment, Pagos really realized Zhang Zifeng's defensive strength, and it is no wonder that Goss was almost invisible in the first half.

Even dribbling is a bit of a struggle, not to mention having to be distracted by keeping an eye on your teammates' movements.

The Pagos are only 1.88 meters and 83 kilograms. Zhang Zifeng is 1.97 meters and 93 kilograms.

Zhang Zifeng's height and weight greatly exceed that of Pargos.

This made it extremely difficult for Pagos to get out of it.

Pagos made continuous feints to use technique and speed to shake off Zhang Zifeng.

Is this a trick trying to fool me?

It's not that easy!

Zhang Zifeng was unmoved, sliding close to his opponent.

Time is slowly passing, and I can't get rid of it.

When Pargos was about to pass the ball to his teammates, Zhang Zifeng suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped the ball away.

The ball hits the floor and rolls towards the outfield.

At the first time, Zhang Zifeng rushed up and fell to the ground to grab the ball.

Pagos hurriedly stepped forward to scramble, and Zhang Zifeng lay on the ground and passed the ball directly to Winslow.

Winslow received the ball and dribbled to a layup.

At 31-32, Duke overtook the score.

The Blue Devils sped up their passing and receiving the ball, and although they disrupted the Bulldogs' defense, they were prone to turnovers.

Jones' pass was too big and the ball flew straight off the baseline.

In the transition between offense and defense, Pagos's dribbling was seriously interfered with by Zhang Zifeng, and he was unable to give assists to his teammates like he did in the first half.

The Bulldogs' tactic is for Pagos to break down the opponent's defense and then pass the ball to the other three tall post players, who will score.

If they are targeted by an opponent, then Pagos will score a layup of his own.

But now that Pagos is locked up by Zhang Zifeng, the three interior lines of the bulldogs will become offensive loopholes.

They have a height advantage, but they also have a slow pace of movement.

Pargos barely managed to pass the ball and the Blues players were already following up.

Sabonis and Wilche are both projection-type power forwards, and they are not very physically confrontational.

As long as you can keep up, you can interfere with his shooting.

Vince Law wasn't as strong as Jefferson, but he was quick on his feet.

Zhang Zifeng contained Pagos, and the pit bull never played a decent attack again.

At this point, no one on either team wants to give up.

The Bulldogs are trying their best to restrain Zhang Zifeng, and the Blue Devils are doing their best to contain Pageos.

The Blue Devils and Bulldogs fought more intensely, defending even harder than before.

Sometimes he is willing to foul and never gives the opponent a chance to shoot.

The referee's whistle sounded more frequently, and the rhythm of the game was interrupted again and again, resulting in a significant gap between the excitement of the situation on the field and the first half.

For three minutes, neither team scored a single open game, and the suffocating defense silenced the whole stadium, and fans on both sides watched the game with their hearts tugging.

With just over two minutes left before full-time, the Bulldogs 40-42 Blue Devils, the two teams played the lowest score of the season in the NCAA tournament.

Zhang Zifeng dribbled the ball to the inside, made a crotch pass at the free throw line, and passed the ball to Winslow in the back.

Winslow received the ball and saw Williams rushing over to make up for it, and he hurried to shoot.

Bang!

The iron is struck.

Canoveschi grabbed the rebound and saw that Pargos was already running, and a long pass got the ball into his hands.

Zhang Zifeng quickly followed, and Pargos steadily controlled the ball forward.

Glancing out of Pagos, Vilceneche.

He pretended to pass the ball, but suddenly collected the ball and scored inside.

Jump, pull the ball off Okafor's arm, and lift the ball towards the basket.

At the moment when the ball left his hand, Zhang Zifeng flew over, and directly snatched the ball with his right hand with lightning speed.

As soon as Zhang Zifeng grabbed the ball, he flew out like an arrow from the string and shot straight into the opponent's half.

When Pagos reacted, Zhang Zifeng had already thrown him two meters away.

Williams and Pagos were in hot pursuit.

When Williams desperately stretched out his hand in the back to pull Zhang Zifeng for a foul, Zhang Zifeng knew that he couldn't stop, and as soon as he stopped, he would lose the opportunity.

Zhang Zifeng rushed into the penalty area without slowing down, and Williams could only watch Zhang Zifeng jump up.

Looking at the basket that was getting closer and closer, Zhang Zifeng didn't think about it at all now.

Straighten your right hand, your body is arched, and the green tendons on your neck are fully displayed.

Roar!

With a roar, Zhang Zifeng dunked the ball into the basket like a tomahawk.

"Bump!"

The loud noise and the sudden fall of the basket made the key stadium look extraordinarily quiet.

As soon as Zhang Zifeng let go, after the basket shook violently, the stadium suddenly resounded with cheers like a tsunami.

Blue Devils fans don't scream in their throats.

The shrill screams made people want to cover their ears.

Zhang Zifeng's dunk gave Duke a 4-point lead at 44-40 when there was only 1 minute and 44 seconds left in the game.

Gonzaga head coach Mark Foyu rushed to call a timeout, but that timeout didn't get them back in the game.

The Bulldogs have been at the limit defensively, but they are not as good at taking chances in the game as the Blues.

The four points are like a moat between the two teams.

The Bulldogs' frantic counterattack in the final point failed to tie the score.

The whistle blew and the Duke University Blue Devils outscored the Gonzaga University Bulldogs 48-44.

Zhang Zifeng felt relieved. Thankfully, he won, and didn't let the arrogance in the game become a laughing stock.

Zhang Zifeng happily surrounded Coach K with his teammates, jumping up and shouting, "Blue Devil!" Blue Devil ...... We are the Blue Devils! ”

The game is over, and a season's hard work is over. Pagos sat on the court, his head bowed, and his head wrapped in his clothes to prevent others from seeing him cry.

This is the cruelty of competition, where there are winners and losers. Some laughed, and some wept.
