Rookie against Jordan, I became the god of basketball

Chapter 47

The day after the victory over Georgetown University, the Huskies returned to Seattle, and the airport was full of fans who came to pick them up.

Thanks to the publicity of various media, the Huskies have maintained a high popularity since the beginning of the season. After entering March Madness, the Huskies have won consecutive battles and are worthy of the media's publicity and the support of fans.

After 7 years of sinking, the Huskies once again reached the final four. More importantly, the Huskies have now won 34 consecutive victories and have not lost the entire season!

The enthusiasm of the media and Seattle fans can be imagined, so that on the second day back to Washington, everyone in the Huskies had to participate in various interviews!
In the game against Georgetown, the Huskies' magical transformation in the second half made Lynn Nance hailed by the media as a comparison with various famous coaches in the basketball world.

Especially UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian, after two big losses, more and more people questioned him. He paid the price for his arrogance over the years and fell into a trough for a while.

The Huskies are all touted, and Eldridge's stability has also allowed him to successfully enter the first round of the draft. More and more people recognize that he can directly enter the NBA as an immediate force.

The same is true for Jeff Brown. Although his performance is not so stable, various media still give him positive comments, thinking that he can sprint to the middle of the first round in the draft now, and some teams are willing to bet on his potential, but In an interview, Jeff Brown bluntly stated that he wanted to finish college.

Doug Meekins and Brent Merritt aren't as over the top as the other three, but they also have quotes for top second-round picks.

Most people think that Doug Meekins still needs to be polished, and it is no secret that he has not been in contact with basketball for a long time.

Brent Merritt is purely because of his talent, which is visible to the naked eye, but he will not feel uncomfortable because of it. He never thought of playing in the NBA. For him, sports are just a hobby. He is a rich second generation. How much self-motivated.

On the third day after the game, after dealing with various interviews, the Huskies started normal training.

The first is 2 hours of individual training, and then the Huskies will continue to play training games with the national team except for Lu Feng.

Lu Feng did not participate in the training match, but studied the next round of opponents with Lynn Nance.

For the Washington Huskies, reaching the final 4 means that they have succeeded this year, but so far, who doesn't want to go further?

The opponent of the Huskies in the fifth round is the Duke Blue Devils led by the old K.

Compared to the game between Syracuse University and the University of Arkansas on the other side, the game between the Washington Huskies and the Duke Blue Devils is obviously more popular.

The Huskies are the second strongest offensive team in the NCAA, and Duke is a team that is resolute in defending to the end. The collision between the two teams makes fans look forward to it!
"The Strongest Spear vs. the Strongest Shield!" "

"Defense or Offense, What Is Better Basketball?" "

"Individual VS Team, Who Will Be Stronger?" "

On March 3, the Huskies arrived in Denver, Colorado. The last two rounds of March Madness were held at McNichols Stadium, the home stadium of the Denver Nuggets.

The average altitude of Denver is 1600 meters. For Lu Feng, this is his personal advantage. In this life, he grew up on a plateau, and the high altitude environment has no effect on him.

In particular, the NCAA has always had two games in three days, and he has an even greater advantage in reaching the finals!
On the afternoon of the 31st, the game between the Washington Huskies and the Duke Blue Devils started on time.

"Friends, welcome to the CBS exclusive live broadcast, the final four of the NCAA Tournament, the game between the University of Washington Huskies and the Duke Blue Devils!"

"It's unbelievable that the University of Washington has come so far. Although the process was a bit stumbling, they still did it! So far, the University of Washington has won 34 games in a row. As long as they win two more games, they will achieve the achievement of winning the NCAA championship! The last time I won the championship was Indiana University in 1976, and the storm of the miracle in Seattle is still going on!"

"Duke University has one of the best defenses in the NCAA, but I believe that the University of Washington can break through their defense. No matter what defense they face, Luck can easily solve it!"

Now that the season has progressed, as the Huskies have won more and more consecutive victories, no matter who they are, they can no longer remain neutral.

Supporting the University of Washington to win the championship has become the current political correctness!

Before the start of the game, the old K and the Duke players looked at the Huskies on the other side, full of pressure!

"Guys, keep faith, remember not to mess around, and fight as we agreed!"

Old K looked at the Duke players like eagles, and said forcefully: "Anything can happen in the NCAA, even if they are the University of Washington, no matter what the result is, I don't want to see unexpected things happen!"

He crossed his arms, like a general giving orders, and asked loudly: "Tell me loudly, do you remember?"

"Yes sir!" Everyone in Duke stood at attention and answered.

……

"In this game, Luck is the key to winning the game. They will keep using confrontation to consume us. Remember to use more pick-and-rolls to help Luck create opportunities!"

On the other side, Lynn Nance also told the Huskies: "The game is only 40 minutes, guys, hold on, you can win if you hold on!"

After the preparations, the starters of the two teams played.

Huskies starting: Lu Feng, Eldridge, Brent Merritt, Doug Meekins, Jeff Brown.

Duke starters: Bobby Hurley, Phil Henderson, Robert Bridget, Alara Abdenaby, Kristen Laettner.

When Lu Feng saw Duke starting, he was curious. As expected of the legendary Blue Devils Aquarium, he didn't know anyone except Laettner.

In Lu Feng’s original world, there is a curse on Duke, who has reached the top of the NCAA. No NBA statement.

Of course, this kind of statement is not credible. Only during Duke's 91 and 92 consecutive championships in the NCAA, Grant Hill and Laettner were produced.

The two teams jumped the ball, Laettner won the jump ball, and Duke went first.

After Bobby Hurley got the ball, he didn't launch an attack directly, but waited for everyone to settle first before starting to organize the attack.

Duke basically doesn't play fast breaks. The old K in this period is a firm theoretical school of positional warfare!

Lu Feng saw Bobby Hurley dribbling the ball in front of him calmly, so he posted it without thinking!

Bobby Hurley’s registered height is 6 feet (183cm), but after Lu Feng’s observation, he thinks that this is his height in shoes, which may not be enough, and he is a circle smaller than Lu Feng, weighing only 69kg!

More importantly, he is a three-none guard with no confrontation, no breakthrough, no shooting, and no offensive ability at all!

Even if you don’t look at offensive ability, as a No. 1 position, Bobby Hurley’s organizational ability is also unqualified. This season is his freshman season. He started as a freshman and averaged 7.7 assists per game in Duke. But there were 4.4 turnovers. This is no longer a three-man guard. He doesn't even have an organization. He is obviously a four-man guard!

When Lu Feng read the information before, he saw that Bobby Hurley was a 5-star high school student recruited by Duke this year, and his mind was full of question marks: Why should he?Just because he is a white guy who likes to show off?
As soon as Lu Feng was close to his body to fight, Bobby Hurley couldn't even dribble the ball, so he could only stop in place with the ball and wait for his teammates to respond.

But Lu Feng didn't want to give him a chance, so he pestered the opponent persistently, but unfortunately he couldn't get the ball back in the end.

Although Bobby Hurley was thin, he was not afraid of confrontation. He clung to the ball tightly and did not give Lu Feng a chance to cut the ball. He passed it out immediately after his teammates came!
After a few hands down, the basketball came to Duke center Laettner. After hitting Jeff Brown a few times, he completed the finish with a close-range turnaround jumper.

Jeff Brown held back his strength and jumped up to reach out, but it didn't work at all...

He experienced the feeling of other team's small guards defending Lu Feng. They are taller than you, longer than your hands, and they play backwards... defend against a hammer!
Many people have heard of Kristen Laettner. As the only college student of the Dream Team, he has a lot of popularity around the world.

In addition to entering Mengyi, in the minds of many people, Leitner is most famous for his "villain" attribute in college.

But he is actually a skilled center with a variety of offensive methods. The most common finishing method is a jump shot. Later, he also developed a 3-pointer, which once became Duke's most accurate 3-pointer!

The Huskies kicked off the ball, and as soon as Lu Feng held the ball, before he even took a step, Bobby Hurley immediately posted it...

Full court press, Duke logo!
The reason why NBA and NCAA offenses have become slower and slower since the 90s, with fewer rounds and more confrontations, is the culprit for Duke K leading and the Bulls led by Jordan.

Old K, who was born in the military, coaches the team and attaches great importance to team discipline and player will.

In 1980, Duke University fell in love with the old K who was coaching at West Point Military Academy. After becoming the Duke coach, the old K pressed his full court. After Duke reached the top of the NCAA, the Bulls learned the full court press. In 90 The era was a great success.

It is precisely because of the old K's press and carry forward that the dream team will be brilliant in the future. In the case of superior physical fitness, this trick has been tried repeatedly!

Not only Lu Feng, Duke did not quickly retreat to his own half after the offensive, but confronted the Huskies in various ways!
The only problem for Duke is that it is too difficult for Bobby Hurley, who weighs less than 70 kilograms, to press and defend Lu Feng...

Lu Feng didn't need any other actions, he pushed Bobby Hurley aside with a hard bump!
After knocking Bobby Hurley away, Lu Feng rushed to the frontcourt with the ball and completed the tomahawk dunk!
"Luck pushed Bobby, rushed to the basket single-handedly, and completed a dunk!"

"Coach Mike let Bobby defend Lark alone. It's really cruel. Look at the size of the two of them. It's not fair to Bobby!"

Lu Feng thought that Duke would adjust his tactics as he scored easily, but he didn't expect Old K to stand on the sidelines with a face full of confidence, showing no intention of adjusting.

Lu Feng couldn't understand what he was thinking, but in this case, of course Lu Feng would not be polite to him, knocking Bobby Hurley away time and time again to score!

But it's a pity that every time Bobby Hurley was knocked away, he would immediately adjust his body and desperately chase Lu Feng, and he had no chance to show off a dunk.

Lu Feng dunked at the beginning, but later he changed to a layup when his hands were tired, and his score kept rising...

5分钟过去，路枫就已经10中10拿了20分，哈士奇20:12领先了8分！
Lu Feng's 10 offenses were all 2 points, and none of them were 3 points. The reason is very simple. The unguarded layup and dunk shooting rate is basically equal to 100%. Without pressure, it is impossible for him to grab 3 points.

This time, not to mention others, even Lu Feng couldn't understand it. Could it be that Duke just gave up and made it bad?
Although the Huskies are very popular, there are still many Duke fans at the game site. Seeing Duke playing like this, fans from any team booed one after another...

"Call ~ call ~ call ~"

"You idiots, what are you fighting for!"

Even the live announcer couldn't help saying into the microphone: "This is an abnormal game, the referee should stop the game!"

……

But before the referee had time to blow the whistle, Old K took the initiative to call a timeout...

The referee walked to Duke's coaching bench and warned: "Coach Mike, please respect the game. If this continues, I will stop the game directly and let the league intervene in the investigation!"

Old K didn't care about the referee's warning at all, and said indifferently: "I know what I'm doing, this is part of our tactics."

Then, Duke came up with an incomprehensible ups and downs...

Lynn Nance frowned, not knowing exactly what Duke was up to, but anyway, it had nothing to do with him, and he didn't make any adjustments.

After returning from the timeout, Duke gave up the full-court press, but retreated quickly, dragging the Huskies into a positional battle.

Greg Kubeck, who was replaced, used a defense against Lu Feng that was not anti-shot but not anti-burst. In order to ensure efficiency, Lu Feng of course chose to use breakthroughs to solve the opponent.

Although Greg Kuber couldn't prevent Lu Feng's breakthrough, but relying on his weight, he could give Lu Feng a lot of confrontation every time.

After falling into positional warfare, Lu Feng's efficiency has dropped a bit, but the offensive efficiency is still terrifyingly high, because after he breaks through Greg, Duke's inside line will not work too hard to help defend, at most it will be when Lu Feng jumps to attack. Give some interference and confrontation when hitting the basket.

When the game reached the advertising timeout, the score came to 36:24, and the Huskies led by 12 points!
And Lu Feng scored a total of 10 points, 30 rebound and 1 assists in 2 minutes!

Lu Feng felt his physical strength, and then looked at the state of his teammates. He probably figured out what old K was up to.

Old K is just letting himself attack, not seeking to defend, but only seeking to consume his own physical strength.

Although Bobby Hurley's confrontation is average, his pursuit and defense requires Lu Feng to run at a constant speed. Every attack is like practicing sprinting. In the next 5 minutes of positional warfare, Lu Feng needs to fight with Gregg every time he attacks. Kubel confronted, although he was able to score, his physical strength was lost extremely quickly!
In addition, the same is true for the other Huskies. While Lu Feng was attacking, Duke did not ignore the other Huskies, and kept fighting in various ways.

Obviously, Old K intends to use the wheel to deal with the Huskies. He knows that the Huskies have no substitutes. It doesn't matter if they start to fall behind. He is confident that Duke can catch up!

"Coach, is it really okay? Luck has already scored 30 points?" Lesnar couldn't help asking on Duke's bench.

Old K sneered and said, "How many points do you think he can score as a guard, and how many points can the rest of Washington score when the main force loses strength?"

"There are only 5 people in Washington, and it's too late for Luck to react now. Soldiers, our game has just begun!"

　Thanks to "I want to wake up the world" for the 100 reward, thank you!
