After a series of battles, the Duke Blue Devils entered the ACC conference championship.
Following the University of Notre Dame, Syracuse University, University of Louisville, Duke University reached the finals.
On March 3, the ACC Finals, Duke played against the North Carolina Tar Heels, live on ESPN.
The Blue Devils played against the North Carolina Tar Heels.
The game was very intense, and the score rose alternately as many as 16 times.
Mike.Brin took the microphone and shouted excitedly, "Tonight is the ACC finals. If they win, they will create the best record in team history and win No.1 in the ACC league with a record of complete victories. The players of Duke University are in the game Very hard, it seems that they really want to win the game. But the North Carolina players have no intention of helping the Duke Blue Devils. They fight very hard, oh, the thugs foul. Okafor is in the back of the inside The shot went straight into the hands of Meeks."
Little Van Gundy 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 smiled and said, "Oh, man. You know, it's a shame for North Carolina to let the rival Duke University Blue Devils win at their home court and set a historical record. North Carolina players will never let Duke University win. Clark University won."
Okafor walked to the free-throw line, tried to catch his breath, and threw the ball.
Brin shouted excitedly, "Oh, Okafor missed two free throws, 76 to 79, Duke was still behind by 3 points, and there was only 1 minute and 16 seconds left, but North Carolina took the ball to attack. At this time, North Carolina started Time delay, if you play for 35 seconds to score a goal, Duke will only have 40 seconds left, and it is almost impossible to score 5 points. At this moment, should Duke choose to foul early or continue to adopt defensive strategies?"
"Duke University didn't choose to foul early, and the time was ticking by. Seeing that the 35-second shot clock was approaching, North Carolina suddenly attacked the basket. Pervis shot immediately after getting the ball, and Zhang Zifeng blocked the shot."
"Foul by thugs! At the most critical moment and the most sensitive moment, the referee called a foul by thugs."
"Old K was furious. He yelled at the referee angrily, and Zhang Zifeng also ran up to argue with the referee."
"The referee upholds the original verdict!"
"Let's look at the follow-up interview, oh, from this angle, we can clearly see that this is a good risk. Zhang Zifeng is too unlucky."
"Parvis made two free throws, 76 to 81, Duke trailed by 5 with 46.5 seconds left."
"Duke is in a crisis. Could it be that the winning streak has been suspended like this!"
There is no timeout anymore, even if old K has ideas, it is useless.
Now he can only pin all his hopes on the players, on the team leader Zhang Zifeng.
Duke sent the baseline ball. At this critical moment, Zhang Zifeng took the ball and quickly passed the midfield.
At this time, Cook and Winslow ran to the sidelines, Okafor ran to the inside, and Jefferson went to help cover.
North Carolina suddenly double-teamed Zhang Zifeng.
Seeing this, Zhang Zifeng pretended to pass 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, but Jackson moved sideways as soon as he did, trying to stop Zhang Zifeng.
But one step too late, Zhang Zifeng bumped directly into Jackson, leaning back as if he was about to lose his balance.
Zhang Zifeng threw the ball to the basket.
Hit!
The Blue Devils fans in the stadium cheered loudly.
The attack took just 5.5 seconds.
Because Jackson blocked the foul, Zhang Zifeng made an extra free throw and scored again!
The score was 79 to 81, and Duke was still 2 points behind.
Although the gap narrowed, there were only 41 seconds left, and North Carolina took the ball.
Who cares about a few seconds?
On the basketball court, life and death are decided.
North Carolina takes the ball to attack. If 35 seconds are exhausted, even if the shot is missed, Duke only has 6 seconds, and the chances of winning are slim.
At this time Duke adopted foul tactics.
As soon as the ball was sent, Winslow immediately stepped forward to foul, and Jackson made a free throw with 39.5 seconds left.
Since the total number of Duke fouls was less than 10 times, Jackson could only make 1+1 free throws.
Jackson made a free throw, and he was a little nervous.
The Blue Devils fans shouted all kinds of threats, and the fans behind the rebound even made all kinds of weird and funny moves, hoping to distract 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 out of the baseline.
Duke has the ball with only 36.3 seconds left.
At this time, watching the score approaching step by step, North Carolina coach Williams became anxious.
He stood on the court and reminded his players loudly, "Defense! Defense! Pay attention to that number 14, don't give him a chance!"
Duke sent the ball from the baseline, 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 defense.
Zhang Zifeng passed the ball to Okafor this time.
At this moment, all the audience's attention was on Okafor, and Zhang Zifeng ran suddenly.
Jefferson used his body to block, Purvis was blocked, Jackson went around and chased Zhang Zifeng desperately.
Okafor passed the ball back and Zhang Zifeng went to the basket.
Under Meeks' block, Zhang Zifeng jumped up for a layup.
The ball went into the basket and scored, 81 to 81, tied!
Brin shouted loudly, "The seemingly inevitable result was unexpectedly tied by magic."
Seeing the ball go in, all the Blue Devils fans went crazy!
Shout with all your might!
It doesn't matter whether the people around him recognize it or not, but knowing that they are the Blue Devils is enough.
They held each other's faces and screamed loudly, so as to vent their inner frenzy and excitement.
Just like a group of blue devils went crazy!
The Blue Devils fans were in a frenzy, but the Duke players had no time to celebrate as they sprinted back to half court.
Although the score was tied, Duke was not out of danger.
The initiative is still in the hands of North Carolina.
With 27.5 seconds left in the clock, North Carolina's offense.
North Carolina will definitely step on the time to attack, whether it is shooting or storming the basket to cause fouls and free throws.
As long as one point, just one point, Duke may have no chance of a comeback.
North Carolina sent the baseline ball, and Jackson attacked the frontcourt.
Jackson was not in a hurry to attack when he got the ball, and spent time on the outside every second.
With 6.8 seconds left, Jackson accelerated and was about to break through. Winslow knew what this shot meant, and he moved his feet, not giving Jackson a chance to break through.
At this time, Pavis suddenly threw Zhang Zifeng away, rushed inside and reached for the ball.
Jackson passed the ball, and after receiving the ball, Pavis made an emergency stop for a jumper.
Zhang Zifeng jumped up desperately, stretching his hands straight.
Zhang Zifeng's interference put a lot of pressure on Pavis.
At that moment, Pavis had no confidence, he had no confidence that the ball could be made.
Purvis passed the ball, and he passed it back to Jackson.
With only 1.4 seconds left in the clock, Jackson had no time to choose at all. He shot the ball as soon as he caught the ball. When the time was up, the red light behind the rebound came on.
There was silence, and even the craziest Blue Devils fans fell silent.
When everyone's attention is on the ball.
The ball spins and falls.
It fell into the hands of Meeks, who was fighting for a card position at the basket.
Brin stood up excitedly and yelled, "The ball didn't touch the basket. It's a three-point shot. Jackson made an emergency shot and made a three-point shot. The score was tied. It's going to be a showdown in overtime!"
81 to 81, Duke finally came back to life and won the right to play overtime.
Old K also shouted excitedly, "Overtime, it's overtime. Come here quickly, we still have to prepare for overtime."
When the entire stadium was immersed in the loud cheers of the Blue Devils fans, Breen's surprised sound made the Duke Blue Devils' mood instantly fall into the abyss.
"Oh, May God! Zhang Zifeng is lying on the ground hugging his leg. Is Zhang Zifeng, the core of the Duke Blue Devils, injured?"
