NBA: Best point guard

Chapter 162 Flying Devil Duncan

In the first game of the new season, the Cavaliers faced the Duke Blue Devils, a traditional NCAA team.

Although Duke has trained dozens of NBA players in history, as well as the legendary coach K, but in recent seasons Duke University has had poor results and lacks talented players.

Now the biggest name in the Duke Blue Devils is probably their head coach.

Under the leadership of Zhao Qiang, the Cavalry beat the Duke Blue Devils by 20 points and won the first game of the new season.

After experiencing the baptism of last season's NCAA Tournament Final 4, the Cavalry players have completed a transformation in their mentality this season. Winning the Duke Blue Devils in the trough period can no longer make them excited.

Everyone has already set their sights on the next game against Wake Forest University. Under the leadership of Tim Duncan last season, Wake Forest University beat the Cavaliers strongly.

At this moment, all the cavalry players want to avenge their defeat last season, and they believe that they can beat the Wake Forest University team.

In order to prepare for this game, head coach An Zuo also stayed up with his coaching team for two nights, watching Duncan's college game tapes for three years, hoping to find a way to contain Duncan.

The Wake Forest University team was able to become the seed team of the NCAA tournament for three consecutive years, all because of Duncan's strong performance.

Duncan, who is now a senior, has a more sophisticated style of play. Compared with his freshman period, his various skills have improved significantly.

It can be said that Duncan's NCAA game is completely a dimensionality reduction blow.

What troubled An Zuo was that last season, the Cavalry had a black and tough center like Da Ben, who could resist Duncan's inside attack, but this season the team obviously did not have such a meat shield center.

Do you want Maggette to defend Duncan...

Although the game situation is not optimistic, An Zuo understands that if the Cavaliers want to hit the NCAA championship this season, the Wake Forest University team must cross the mountain.

Last season, the Cavalry team reached the top 4 of the NCAA Tournament unprecedentedly, which has completely aroused the appetite of the teachers and students of the whole school.

This season, everyone in the school is obviously looking forward to the team's ability to win the championship, bringing the first sports championship trophy in the history of the University of Virginia, and ending the embarrassing record of no sports championship in 88 years.

In order to let the cavalry players train with peace of mind, the school gave them the green light in the subject test for the first time, arranged an independent air-conditioned dormitory for each of them, raised the standard of food, and renovated the training venue and equipment during the summer vacation, etc. A series of preferential treatment measures.

It can be said that in the next six months or so, the most important thing for the University of Virginia is to escort the Cavalry team's game and strive to win the NCAA championship.

The reason why the senior management of the school is so confident is that they made it to the top 4 of the tournament last year for an unprecedented time, and on the other hand, it is the re-evolution of the core of the team, Zhao Qiang.

Now on the major lists, Zhao Qiang is already the number one favorite in the 97 NBA draft, and his odds have already surpassed Tim Duncan, ranking first.

Now, everything is ready, and the Cavalry urgently needs to defeat the Wake Forest University team to prove their strength.

Three days later, the Virginia Cavalry played at home against the mighty Wake Forest Devil Deacons.

Before the game started, Zhao Qiang and Duncan exchanged a few words and simply said hello.

In the memory of Zhao Qiang in his previous life, he still liked Duncan, a low-key superstar, who had been playing hard for the Spurs throughout his career.

While in college, Duncan also stuck to it for 4 years, and entered the NBA draft after four years of college, which is still very rare among NBA stars.

Through the memory of his previous life, Zhao Qiang clearly remembered that Duncan averaged 20.8 points, 14.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game in his senior year, dominating the NCAA field strongly, and eventually Wake Forest University also retired Duncan's No. 21 jersey.

The spirit of "one person, one city" is vividly reflected in Duncan.

Just like Zhao Qiang has fans in the away game, Duncan, as a star player in the NCAA field, also has warm cheers in the away game.

Because of the direct dialogue between Zhao Qiang and Duncan, the two top picks, the game was also broadcast live across the United States, attracting a large number of fans to watch the game.

With the whistle of the referee, the battle of focus officially begins!

Facing Duncan's scrimmage, Maggette could only look at the ball and sigh, without any chance of winning.

The Wake Forest team got the first offensive ball in the opening game.

The point guard of the Wake Forest University team is a small guard, Tiney, who is only 183 tall.

Apart from the same height, Tini and his future star junior, Chris Paul, have completely different achievements in the basketball field.

However, Tini's personal ability can still be quite satisfactory in college competitions.

For the first attack in the opening game, Tini naturally handed it over to the team boss Duncan to complete.

Duncan ran to the arc of the middle circle, made a hand-to-hand screen, and Tiny handed the basketball to Duncan.

Fearing Duncan's mid-range shot, Maggette had no choice but to follow Duncan to the free throw line to defend.

Throughout his NBA career, Duncan has hit more than 40% of his mid-range shots, which can be said to be a master of mid-range.

Seeing that Maggette was defending close to him, Duncan immediately faked a shot. When Maggette made the defense, he immediately dribbled the ball to the left and broke through. A one-handed battle ax split!

Although throughout his career, Duncan has given people the impression of a floor flow, especially the famous in-situ windmill dunk dynamic picture has deepened the stereotype of the floor flow.

In fact, at the beginning of his career, Duncan played extremely violently. You must know his nickname "Flying Devil" during college.

Although the nickname was originally Wake Forest University's...

Duncan's domineering dunk at the beginning of the game instantly ignited some fans at the University of Virginia's home court.

Although Zhao Qiang is currently a popular fried chicken, Duncan's performance in the past three years is really too strong, and he naturally gained a lot of fans.

Duncan fans also exist at the University of Virginia.

Switching offense, Xiaode controlled the ball and advanced across the half court. Facing the quick-footed defense of the little man Tini, he seemed a little uncomfortable.

So in the next second, Xiaode immediately passed the basketball to Zhao Qiang at the top of the arc on the weak side.

After Zhao Qiang received the basketball, he did not rush to attack, but passed the basketball to the big black dragon inside.

In this game, Zhao Qiang's strategy is to let his teammates warm up their hands first and play in their best form.

Through last year's competition, he deeply realized that he could not beat the Wake Forest University team by himself, so Zhao Qiang must have helpers.

After all, basketball is a five-person sport.

The big black dragon turned around and shook the defender away, wanting to easily lick the basket and score,

But in an instant, Duncan's defense was in place, leaped high, and directly slapped the big black dragon's layup!

After the opening, Duncan dominated both offense and defense.
