Chapter 6: NCAA champion, here we go

On the next Syracuse Orange offensive possession after Duane made a three-pointer, Boeheim took the initiative to call a timeout.

When Duane came off the court, he looked at the timer on the sidelines and found that there were 8 minutes and 49 seconds left in the game.

"Is this probably the tacit understanding between the NCAA coaches?" Du En thought to himself.

Du En knows that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Jianghu is not fighting and killing, but human beings.

As long as they are not mortal enemies in the same city, or enemies of life and death in history, they will basically show a little sympathy so that the game will not be so ugly, so that they can meet each other in the future.

Under the leadership of Anthony and Duan, the Syracuse Orange opened the point difference to 23 points, and now at the end of the game, the point difference was maintained at 18 points.

With more than 8 minutes left, as long as the Syracuse Orange players defend carefully, even if they don't score a point, they won't be defeated by the Kansas Jayhawks.

"Melo, Duane, Hakeem, you have done enough for the Syracuse Orange.

Let's take a rest first, I will send you to play in the decisive time later.

You need to adjust first and get ready for victory! "

Boeheim withdrew the main players and asked McNamara to take a group of first- and second-year substitute players to play with the Kansas Jayhawks.

It's not a complete let-down. Although the coach gave the opponent a break, the players had no such idea.

With the victory in hand, the Syracuse Orange's substitute players went on to play without any psychological pressure, so they worked as hard as the main players and went all out.

People are in high spirits during happy events, and with the support of their mental state, the substitute players unexpectedly played pretty well.

In the next more than 4 minutes, the Kansas Jayhawks did chase a few points, but they only narrowed the point difference to 13 points.

Seeing that the point difference was approaching within 10 points, Boheim finally stopped acting aggressive, called a timeout, and began to readjust the lineup.

McNamara, Duane, Anthony, Varrick, Foss, and Boeheim finally put together the Syracuse Orange's best lineup for the game.

Returning to the court, the highly motivated Anthony relied on singles and hit a mid-range shot without saying a word.

Not to be outdone, Collison forced his way to the basket and caused damage, but he made 2 of 1 free throws and had a mediocre effect in chasing points.

The Syracuse Orangemen had a huge advantage and continued to play at a lower tempo, waiting for the last seven or eight seconds before returning to the core tactic - handing the ball to Anthony.

It was also because McNamara and Duane were too threatening to shoot, and Anthony took the initiative to squat in the corner to open up space. Even though the Kansas Jayhawks deployed a zone defense, they did not frequently double-team the ball carrier.

McNamara's physical fitness is average, but his ball handling skills are still very good.

Even if Hinrich took the initiative to defend McNamara, he could not take the ball away from McNamara.

It was also because of McNamara's possession of the ball. In the 2 minutes after he re-entered the court, Dunn couldn't touch the ball at all, so he just ran back and forth.

Finally, thanks to Anthony, he broke through and scored, giving Duen a chance to score a three-pointer from the corner.

Dunn was only 3 points away and scored 20 points. Naturally, he would not miss such a good opportunity.

Before Longford could pounce, Duan quickly completed the shot.

With a sound of Duang, the ball hit the basket, but because the ball was spinning rapidly, it did not bounce out directly, but bounced straight up.

When it fell again due to gravity, the basketball bounced right back into the basket.

This is a bad ball, but it also happens to be the key ball that helped Dunn score 20 points.

"Duen, your shot is too accurate!"

This time Anthony did not choose to return to defense, but excitedly rushed towards Du En and gave him a fierce hug.

It seems like a child who can't grow up, with a bright and innocent smile all over his face.

"The game isn't over yet!" Du En patted Anthony's butt.

"You've killed the game, they're finished!" Anthony was happy for Dunn, but also for himself.

With Dunn hitting this three-pointer, the point difference returned to 15 points.

With only 2 minutes left in the game, even if you give the Kansas Jayhawks a McGrady, I am afraid there is no way to change your fate and turn defeat into victory.

boom--

Because Anthony and Duan were out of touch, Collison, who was not very good at playing football, quickly used the fast break to get inside, trying to boost the team's morale with dunks.

Dunn and Anthony turned their heads when they heard the sound, only to find that McNamara slipped out of the baseline with the ball and sent a long pass towards the frontcourt.

Hinrich and Langford quickly returned to defense, but were still exposed by the connection between Duan and Anthony.

After Anthony received the ball, he pretended to rush to the basket, but actually gave Dunn a ground pass.

After taking the ball, Duane immediately stopped and stepped back, standing on the three-point line, waiting for Hinrich and Langford to fly over together, but Duane threw the ball high.

Anthony followed up and made an alley-oop.

Then he celebrated with a "three-finger headshot" and swaggered past Hinrich and Langford.

Whenever Anthony makes a three-pointer or hits a key ball, he will do this.

From Anthony's point of view, the alley-oop that he and Duan collaborated on has completely killed the game.

Seeing this, the audience, except for the Kansas Jayhawks fans, cheered for Anthony.

Perhaps it was this burst of cheers that became the last straw that crushed the Kansas Jayhawks.

In less than 2 minutes, Kansas only scored 2 points on free throws, and no more points were scored in sports games.

87 to 70, under the influence of Duan, the Syracuse Orange defeated the Kansas Jayhawks with an absolute advantage of 17 points.

By the way, when the game time ran out, Anthony, holding the ball in his hand, excitedly threw the ball into the air and threw it around randomly.

Just when Anthony ran to Du En, wanting to give Du En a big hug, Du En instead went to find the basketball that Anthony had thrown away.

"Are you going to take it home?" Anthony didn't quite understand.

"I'm going to dedicate it to the coach, but I will write my name on it in advance!" Duan said honestly.

Syracuse University has only one NCAA champion in its more than [-]-year history.

Therefore, Du En knew very well that the game ball would never be taken away by a certain player, but would be kept by the school and placed in a display cabinet in the gymnasium.

After this game, Dunn is ready to sign up for the next NBA draft.

Fortunately, he also stayed at Syracuse University for nearly a year. Although he didn't have a chance to get a diploma, Du En had paid his tuition, so he couldn't make a trip every now and then.

"Dune is here for a visit!"

"VENI VIDI VICI - Dune"

Du En took out the watercolor pens he had prepared in advance and left his own marks on the basketball in Chinese and English.

Anthony saw that Dunn was taking things so seriously, so he followed suit and wrote his own name on the basketball, along with an inspirational message.

"Go and cut the nets!" Dunn motioned to Anthony.

Players cannot take away the game ball, so they can only cut the net and share a point with each other as a souvenir to commemorate the victory and championship.

Usually, those who are qualified to cut the net are the team's head coach and star players.

Dunn handed the ball to Boeheim, so the physical work of cutting the net was naturally done by Anthony, who was empty-handed.

"Duen, you are quite good at it. You will be our main force next season." Boeheim was very satisfied with Duen.

Du En just smiled when he heard this.
