Chapter 53: Unwilling, Unwilling to Admit Defeat (II)
After scoring the goal, Zhang Zifeng yelled at Hancock, "See, Lao Tzu is the best shooter, understand?" Idiot! ”
I saw the Chinese in front of me calling himself an idiot, and he also claimed to be the most powerful shooter in front of him.
How can this make the proud "Superman for All" Hancock endure.
Running to the half, in the face of Zhang Zifeng's reluctant defense, last season's MOP Hancock was dismissive.
I have faced I don't know how many tight defenses, and in the end, I didn't throw myself off and throw the ball in.
Hancock ran out of the perimeter through cover, thinking he had thrown off Zhang Zifeng, Hancocka received the ball on the perimeter, turned around and jumped up to shoot.
"Get out!"
However, just as Hancock jumped, a violent anger suddenly exploded in his ears!
Zhang Zifeng rushed out from the inside line, and when he saw Hancock turn around and jump, he jumped up hard.
As soon as the basketball in Hancock's hand was shot, a large yellow palm appeared and slapped towards the basketball.
"Smack!"
The ball didn't go out of bounds, and the fanned ball was caught in Jefferson's hand.
Zhang Zifeng saw the loose steps and ran forward.
Seeing Zhang Zifeng's running figure, the players of the Cardinals came back to their senses.
Pitino stood on the sidelines, his hands to his lips and shouted loudly. "Hurry back, give me back!"
When Hancock just ran back to the half, Jefferson made a powerful long pass that flew over most of the court and was sent to Zhang Zifeng.
After receiving the ball, Zhang Zifeng hugged the ball, jumped up directly under the basket in three steps, turned a big windmill, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
"Bang !!!"
After landing on the ground, Zhang Zifeng couldn't help but clench his fists with both hands and roar to the sky.
For a moment, the tearing whistle overwhelmed the cheers of the audience.
Fans and players all looked at Zhang Zifeng in surprise.
After roaring to his heart's content, the frustration of the days was vented, and Zhang Zifeng felt a lot more comfortable.
It's just that the roar is too hard, and the throat is a little hoarse.
In the next game, Zhang Zifeng's trash talk was also much less.
As the main force, he has a lot of playing time and needs to control his physical strength.
But as a substitute, you don't need to worry so much, just play hard.
The most important thing as a substitute is to be able to contribute as soon as you are on the pitch, just like a microwave oven.
Zhang Zifeng did not stop from the moment he came on the court, and tirelessly stared at Hancock when defending.
When attacking, it is running non-stop.
After putting Zhang Zifeng back on the bench, Lao K gave Zhang Zifeng unlimited firing rights.
Cook and Thornton saw Zhang Zifeng appear vacant, and they immediately passed the ball over.
If there are no good opportunities, interior players such as Vince Law and Jefferson will also come out to help cover and create open opportunities.
Zhang Zifeng played very excitedly, ran back in a row, shook off Hancock, ran out of the three-point line to receive the ball, jumped, and shot.
"Huh!"
The basketball wipes the net with a crisp and wonderful sound!
The ball is in!
"Well passed, Cook!" Zhang Zifeng rushed up to clap hands with Cook, who came off the bench, to celebrate.
In the next round, after receiving a pass near the free throw line, Zhang Zifeng stopped shooting after receiving the ball!
Although Hancock quickly followed, trying to block Zhang Zifeng's shot.
Even though Hancock was already in front of him, Zhang Zifeng still did not hesitate to make a move.
"Huh!"
It was another crisp sound into the net, and the 2-point hit.
At 44:55, the difference between the two teams has been stretched to 11 points!
The fans of the Blue Devils team saw Zhang Zifeng play well and stretched the score to more than 10 points, and they stood up one by one and cheered loudly.
When the whistle blew at the end of the half, Zhang Zifeng played for 10 minutes, shooting 4 of 7, including 3 of 3 three-pointers, and cut 11.
Hancock, who was opposite him, was a little dwarfed, playing 17 minutes, shooting 4 out of 13, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and scoring 9 points.
After halftime, regardless of Parker's face and the assistant coach's reminder, Lao K insisted that Zhang Zifeng continue to play.
Seeing that after halftime, Zhang Zifeng continued to stay on the court, Hancock couldn't help but scold, "FUCK! ”
Originally, he followed Zhang Zifeng for 7 or 8 minutes in the first half, but Hancock was a little tired.
I didn't expect to continue to face this bastard now.
In the first half, Hancock had already experienced Zhang Zifeng's ability to run.
knows that facing this kind of person can only be a stalker, as long as you can keep up, you can limit the other party.
Even if Hancock didn't like Zhang Zifeng anymore, he could only continue to chase after him.
In the 27th minute of the game, Hancock didn't even want to speak, and he didn't have the strength at all.
Bucket sweat drippedly down his forehead and cheeks.
Panting, Hancock looked at the running figure of Zhang Zifeng.
Damn bastard, must be on drugs. I'm going to report it!
Seeing that he has been running until now, he has not stopped, Hancock does not believe that this Chinese has such physical strength at all, he believes that the other party must be taking drugs, otherwise it is impossible.
Although Hancock wanted to report it, he had to wait for the game to end.
At this time, he could only drag his heavy footsteps to chase Zhang Zifeng.
Hancock followed Zhang Zifeng closely and did not give him a chance to shoot.
Hancock stuck to himself like a dog's skin ointment, and Zhang Zifeng felt very troublesome.
Calling out to Jefferson and asking him to come out and help with the pick-and-roll.
By cover, Zhang Zifeng still got rid of Hancock.
As soon as he ran out of the open space, Cook, who had been paying attention, immediately sent the ball over.
Zhang Zifeng received the pass, jumped up without paus, and shot.
Jump and shoot!
Simple shooting action!
But it was Zhang Zifeng's standard shooting action that took countless sweats and countless days and nights to get back.
With a bang, the ball goes in, and the score is scored.
Zhang Zifeng hit a three-point shot!
In the 28th minute of the second half, the score was 63:79, and the score was stretched to 16 points.
After the audience at the scene saw Zhang Zifeng hit again, they all became excited and shouted loudly, "Jack!" Jack ......"
When Lao K saw Zhang Zifeng running back off the field, he gasped and knew that he was about to reach his limit.
Old K made a substitution gesture and said, "Jack down, Parker on!" ”
When he was afraid of the card on the field, Lao K pulled his shoulder and said, "Jack has performed very well, I hope you won't let me down!" ”
Parker heard and nodded heavily.
Seeing Zhang Zifeng go down this time, Parker also stretched out his hand to touch him.
Parker came on the court and played strongly, hitting the inside again and again and sending the ball to the basket.
Defensively, Parker has also changed his previous bad habit of being prone to inattention and has become proactive.
With Parker's strong side, Duke continued to expand the score and did not give the Cardinals a chance to close the score.
The Cardinals' star Hancock was too much energy involved by Zhang Zifeng, and he was exhausted and unable to help the team at critical moments in the game.
Pitino was so unhappy with Hancock's inaction that he simply substituted him for freshman Damion Lee at 36 minutes into the second half.
At the end of the game, the University of Louisville Cardinals lost 73-91 to the Duke University Blues.
Parker played 26 minutes and finished with 24 points, six rebounds and four assists.
Zhang Zifeng came off the bench for 18 minutes, shooting 8 of 14, including 4 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 18 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.
