Chapter 27: Historical Records (Part II)

After a series of battles, the Duke Blue Devils entered the ACC Conference Championship.

The University of Notre Dame, Syracuse University, the University of Louisville, and Duke University made it to the finals.

On March 9, the ACC League Finals, Duke vs. North Carolina Tar Heels, ESPN live.

The Klancs take on the North Carolina Tar Heels.

The game was intense, with the score alternating as many as 16 times.

Mike. Brin took the microphone and shouted excitedly, "Tonight is the ACC Conference Finals, and if they win, they will have the best record in team history and win the first place in the ACC League with a complete victory." The Duke players are working the game and it seems that they want to win the game. But the North Carolina players don't have the slightest intention of perfecting the Duke Blues. They fight fiercely, oh, the thug fouls. Okafor's back-to-back shot on the inside was hit directly into Meeks' hands. ”

Van Gundy Jr. looked at the fierce game and said, "The game is very intense, and such a game is not easy to see even in the NBA Finals!" ”

Mark Jackson laughed and said, "Oh, man. You know, it's a shame for North Carolina to let arch-rival Duke Blues win on their home turf and set a record. The North Carolina players are definitely not going to let Duke win. ”

Okafor stepped onto the free-throw line, tried to steady his breathing, and threw the ball.

Brin shouted excitedly, "Oh, Okafor missed two free throws, 76-79, Duke still trailed by 3 points, and there was only 1 minute and 16 seconds left, but it was North Carolina who took the ball and attacked." At this point, North Carolina began to stall for time, and if it scored in 35 seconds, Duke only had 40 seconds left, and it was almost impossible to score five points to tie. At this point, does Duke choose to foul early, or continue with a defensive strategy? ”

"Duke University didn't choose to foul early, the time was passing minute by minute, seeing that the 35-second offensive time was approaching, North Carolina suddenly attacked the basket, Pavez shot immediately after getting the ball, and Zhang Zifeng blocked."

"Foul on the thug! At this most critical and sensitive moment, the referee awarded a foul to the thug. ”

"Old K was furious, he roared angrily at the referee, and Zhang Zifeng also ran up to argue with the referee."

"The referee insisted on the original verdict!"

"Let's look at the return visit, oh, at this angle, we can clearly see that it's a good risk. Zhang Zifeng was so unlucky. ”

"Pavis made two free throws to make it 76-81 and Duke trailed by five points with 46.5 seconds remaining."

"Duke is in crisis, is the winning streak being stopped like this!"

There is no pause anymore, even if Lao K has no ideas, it is useless.

Now he can only pin all his hopes on the players and the team leader Zhang Zifeng.

Duke sent out the baseline ball, and at this critical time, Zhang Zifeng took the ball by himself and quickly passed through the midfield.

At this point, Cook and Winslow ran to the sidelines, Okafor ran to the inside, and Jefferson went to help cover.

North Carolina suddenly entraps Zhang Zifeng.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zifeng pretended to give the ball to Okafor at the top of the arc, but suddenly accelerated and rushed to the basket.

Pavis didn't react for a while, and Jackson reacted and moved sideways as soon as he could, wanting to stop Zhang Zifeng.

But taking a step slower, Zhang Zifeng hit Jackson directly, leaning back and looking about to lose his balance.

Zhang Zifeng threw the ball to the basket.

Hit!

The Blue Devils fans in the stadium let out an earth-shattering cheer.

The attack took only 5.5 seconds.

Because Jackson blocked the foul, Zhang Zifeng added a free throw and scored again!

The score was 79-81, and Duke was still two points behind.

Although the gap narrowed, there were only 41 seconds left in the clock, and it was North Carolina to get the ball.

Who cares about a few seconds?

On the basketball court, it is life and death that can be the difference between victory and defeat.

North Carolina takes the ball to attack, and if it runs out of 35 seconds, even if the pitch doesn't go in, Duke only has 6 seconds, and the chances of winning are slim.

At this point, Duke used a foul tactic.

As soon as the ball was issued, Winslow immediately stepped forward to foul and Jackson made a free throw with 39.5 seconds left.

Since Duke had less than 10 fouls, Jackson could only make 1+1 free throws.

Jackson made free throws, and it was obvious that he was a little nervous.

The Blue Devils fans shouted all kinds of intimidation, and the fans behind the rebounds made all kinds of weird, funny actions in the hope of distracting Jackson.

Under heavy pressure, Jackson missed a free throw.

The two sides jumped up and fought desperately for the rebound, and the ball was finally touched by Meeks off the line.

Duke's possession had just 36.3 seconds left.

At this time, watching the score approaching step by step, North Carolina's coach Williams began to be anxious.

He stood on the pitch and reminded his players loudly, "Defend! Defend! Watch out for that number 14, don't give him a chance! ”

Duke sent the baseline ball, Zhang Zifeng took the ball through the midfield, and the Duke players repeated their old tricks, running to the sidelines on both sides to attract the defense.

Zhang Zifeng passed the ball to Okafor this time.

At this time, the attention of the audience was on Okafor, and Zhang Zifeng suddenly ran.

Jackson blocked with his body, Pavez was blocked, and Jackson went around and chased Zhang Zifeng desperately.

Okafor passes the ball back, and Zhang Zifeng smashes it to the basket.

Under Meeks's block, Zhang Zifeng jumped up and hooked his hand to the basket.

The ball went into the basket and scored, 81-81, tied the game!

Brin shouted, "The result that seemed to be a sure defeat was magically tied by the score." ”

Seeing the ball go in, the whole Blue Devils fans went crazy!

Shout with all your strength!

It doesn't matter if the people around you recognize them or not, it's enough to know that they are the Blue Devils.

They hugged each other's faces and screamed loudly to vent their inner frenzy and excitement.

It's like a bunch of blue devils going crazy!

The Blue Devils fans were in a frenzy, but Duke's players didn't have time to celebrate, and they quickly ran back into the half.

Although the score is tied, Duke is not out of danger.

The initiative is still in North Carolina.

With 27.5 seconds left on the clock, North Carolina attacked.

North Carolina will definitely step on the timing of the offense, whether it is shooting or forcing the basket to cause foul free throws.

As long as there is one point, just one point, and Duke may have no chance of turning the tables.

North Carolina sends a baseline kick and Jackson attacks the frontcourt.

Jackson is not in a hurry to attack with the ball, and consumes time on the outside line second by second.

With 6.8 seconds left, Jackson accelerated to break through, and Winslow knew what the shot meant, and he moved his feet to not give Jackson a chance to break through.

At this time, Pavis suddenly shook off Zhang Zifeng and rushed into the inside line to reach out for the ball.

Jackson passes the ball, and after Pavez receives the ball, he pulls up and jumps.

Zhang Zifeng jumped up desperately, his hand stretched straight.

Zhang Zifeng's interference put a lot of pressure on Pavis.

At that moment, Pavez didn't have the confidence, he didn't have the confidence that the ball could be shot.

Pavis passed, and he passed it back to Jackson.

With only 1.4 seconds left, Jackson simply didn't have time to choose again, he caught the ball and shot, and when the time was up, the red light behind the rebound came on.

There was silence that even the craziest Blue Devils fans were silent.

When all eyes are on this ball.

The ball spins and falls.

It fell into the hands of Meeks, who was fighting for a card spot under the basket.

Brin stood up excitedly and yelled, "The ball didn't touch the basket, three no-sticks, this ball Jackson urgently shot into a three-no-go." Deuced, the two teams were tied in regular time. If you want to go overtime, the two teams will go head-to-head in overtime! ”

81-81, Duke finally came back to life and fought for the right to play overtime.

Old K also shouted excitedly, "Overtime, it's overtime." Hurry up, we've got to get ready for extra time. ”

While the entire stadium was immersed in the earth-shattering cheers of the Blue Devils fans, Brin's surprise made the Duke Blue Devils instantly fall into the abyss.

"Oh, May God (oh my God)!" Zhang Zifeng is lying on the ground holding his leg, is Zhang Zifeng, the core of the Duke Blue Devils, injured?"
