At four o'clock in the afternoon on February 10, 2014, the always punctual old K came to the stadium for training in advance.

Clapping his palms and summoning the players to come around, Lao K shouted loudly, "All the people in tonight's game will give me a twelve-point mental game!" Whoever dares to relax, Lao Tzu will definitely press him to the bench and sit on the bench for a season! Did you hear that? ”

Seeing the coach's serious expression, everyone shouted in unison. "Yes, Coach!"

Zhang Zifeng looked at the other teammates with serious looks, and asked Parker softly, "What's wrong, it seems that you are extra serious today!" ”

Seeing that it was Zhang Zifeng, Parker reacted and whispered, "Tonight's game against North Carolina is a game that can't be lost!" ”

It's just a game, Zhang Zifeng asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

"North Carolina and Duke are feuds!" Knowing that Zhang Zifeng, a Chinese, did not know much about the NCAA, Parker patiently explained to him the grievances between Duke and North Carolina.

Founded in 1789, the University of North Carolina is the oldest public university in the United States and one of the best in the United States.

Founded in 1838, Duke University is one of the best private universities in the United States.

The University of North Carolina and Duke University are only 13.6 kilometers apart, and it doesn't take 30 minutes to drive.

The two schools are too close to each other, both belong to the ACC league (Atlantic Coast League), and both are famous basketball schools in the United States.

The North Carolina Tar Heels have won a total of five NCAA tournaments (1957, 1982, 1993, 2005, 2009), 17 Atlantic Coast Conference Championships, and 27 Atlantic Coast Conference regular season titles.

The Duke Blues have won four NCAA tournaments (1991, 1992, 2001, 2010), 23 Atlantic Coast Conference Championships, and 22 Atlantic Coast Conference regular season titles.

In order to win the source of life and the tournament (the league champion automatically qualifies for the tournament), the North Carolina Tar Heels and the Duke Blue Devils have accumulated countless grievances and can be described as an NCAA feud.

Tickets are in high demand and fans go crazy every time the two teams play, even ESPN broadcasts it live.

The winners of both teams are all proud, and the losers are depressed, including the fans.

There is even a saying that it is okay to lose to anyone, but it must not be to lose to Duke (North Carolina);

The former head coach of North Carolina Doherty was directly removed from class and replaced by Roy Williams because he couldn't win the "North Carolina VS Duke" victory.

In order to compete for victory, Duke Blue's match against North Carolina Blue has created countless classic scenes in the NCAA, and it has also allowed the two teams to accumulate countless grievances.

In the 1968 game, after three overtimes, Duke's narrow victory over North Carolina.

In 1984, North Carolina had Jordan and played against Duke in a very tough game, going through two overtimes to win the game.

In the '70s, of Duke University and Larry Brown of the University of North Carolina (later a famous NBA coach) got into a scuffle during a game, which eventually caused a group brawl between the two teams.

In the '90s, during a game between Duke University and the University of North Carolina, the bridge of the nose of Montrose, a center from the University of North Carolina, was broken and blood flowed on live television.

In 2007, Duke's Henderson broke the bridge of North Carolina center Hansbrough's nose. Henderson was ejected and suspended for one game in the NCAA. Hansbru had to play with a face mask in the playoffs.

Listen to Parker tell the history of Duke and North Carolina's years of fighting, and silently tell how deep the feud between the two teams is!

Zhang Zifeng then understood why even the always calm old K had to wait for him.

Zhang Zifeng nodded and said, "I understand, I'm also a Duke University player now, and I'll know what to do!" ”

At this time, Jefferson, a sophomore, also interjected and said, "Tonight's game against North Carolina must be a tough battle!" Be prepared! ”

"Fierce war? Hard? Zhang Zifeng asked.

"Yes, it will be tough today! I didn't prepare for it, I was afraid that I would be scared when the time came! Jefferson looked up and recalled.

Lao Tzu was in the CHBL finals that year, and he was not defeated by 19 points at halftime, leading the team to a reversal and victory, what kind of scene has not been seen.

Zhang Zifeng shouted, "We are blue devils, how can we be intimidated!" ”

"Don't underestimate the enemy, the hard game is not something you can imagine. North Carolina is not going to let us win easily, and more importantly, we are away from home. The fans there are different from other teams, they are very, very, very hostile to us! It can even be said that it is a sworn enemy! Jefferson said solemnly.

"Yes, today's game will be very intense, the physical confrontation and scramble will be very different from the previous games, everyone should be mentally prepared! And remember to be careful not to get hurt! Plumlee, a junior, said on the side.

Parker, the good man, was shocked and asked, "What?" Is it still a black hand? ”

"Of course, so don't be careless!"

Plumlee was afraid that the freshmen would not know about the grievances between Duke and North Carolina and take it lightly, so he told the freshmen about the murder between the two teams.

Plumlee said, "In the game against North Carolina, there will definitely be small actions, and it is even possible to send you to the hospital directly!" Are you afraid now? If you're afraid, you don't have to play tonight! ”

Zhang Zifeng heard Plumlee's contemptuous words and shouted fiercely, "I'm afraid of a bird, if he dares to do a black hand, Lao Tzu will dare to abolish him!" Look who's more ruthless! ”

Team boss Jefferson patted Zhang Zifeng's shoulder with satisfaction and shouted happily, "Yes, it should be this kind of momentum, this is the spirit that our Blue Devils should have." If they dare to do it, we will dare to abolish them. Hehe, you don't have to worry too much. Although the competition will be fierce, but proud of the glorious deeds of our predecessors, they are more afraid of us in North Carolina. So just be careful! ”

That's the same, North Carolina centers Hansbrough and Montrose both broke the bridge of their noses, needless to say, they must have been injured under the iron elbow of Duke seniors.

Tonight against North Carolina, less than 30 minutes away, just take the school bus to go there.

With two hours to go, the Dean Smith Center was packed.

Tonight, almost all North Carolina students don't go to bars, hotels, or libraries.

Everyone gathered in front of the arena wearing jerseys that read "Beat Duke," and the eyes of every fan had already begun to frenzy.

They shouted, "The Tar Heels will win!" ”

"The Tar Heel Team will win!"

"Defeat Duke!"

Almost all North Carolina fans use roars to motivate the team.

When the Duke bus drove to the front of the arena, the players got off the bus and saw the North Carolina fans surrounding them shouting, intimidating, threatening and abusing the Duke Blue Devils.

Because Zhang Zifeng is a yellow race, North Carolina fans scolded Zhang Zifeng more fiercely and ugly.

"Yellow monkey, you idiot, don't be scared to pee your pants during the game!"

"Yellow people of garbage, this is not an amusement park, this is not the place for you to come!"

"What else would you do but ping-pong? Look, Pavez is going to blow you up! ”

……

Zhang Zifeng saw the arrogant appearance of the North Carolina fans in front of him, he couldn't get angry, he raised his hand, clenched it hard, and shouted loudly. "The Blue Devil wins!"

All of the Duke players, as well as the coaching staff, looked at this in amazement.

"The Blue Devil wins!" Captain Jefferson roared too.

"The Blue Devils will win!!" All the players shouted in unison.

Hearing that Duke University players dared to openly shout in front of them that the Blue Devils must win.

This completely infuriated the North Carolina fans, who shouted loudly.

"This is North Carolina, don't be arrogant here, or you'll pay."

"Go back to Duke, you're not welcome here!"

"You stupid birds, you're going to lose tonight and cry and go home to your mother to comfort you!"

……

If it weren't for the security guards in North Carolina who were quite competent, I was afraid that the fans in North Carolina would be able to rush up and tear apart the Blue Devils players.

Guarded by security guards, Duke players stepped into the visiting locker room at the arena.

Changing the game uniform, the coach held the tactical board and explained the tactical arrangement loudly.

After the tactics were finished, Lao K specially advised, "Tonight's game will be more intense, everyone must stay calm and pay more attention to safety, understand!" Alright, get ready to play! ”

All the team members sorted out their clothes with solemn expressions, and moved their hands and feet to prepare for the game.
