Chapter 307 Perfect Integration
"As long as you keep giving the ball to Duncan, the victory in this game will belong to Wake Forest."

This is the inner thought of every Wake Forest player. Duncan Jr. has become their only reliance on the offensive end, but it must be admitted that his touch is really good. So far in the game, Duncan has taken a total of 17 shots, hit 12 of them, and scored 24 points, the most in the game.

Of the 12 shots made, 11 came from "rebound shots."

Duncan Jr.'s performance today is perfect, at least it seems so for now. It is not easy to get such a high score against the defending champion. The important thing is that under his leadership, Wake Forest has always maintained the lead in the score.

"Do your teammates just watch you being abused and ignore it?" Duncan was already very swollen. At this point, he did not fully inherit his father's calmness. Compared with his father, little Duncan was much more flamboyant.

Marek knew that this was just Duncan's aggressive method, so he didn't respond too much, but there was still a little turbulence in his heart. Indeed, Duncan had hit him 9 times, and Marek had only defended 2 of them, and was hit 7 times. In these 7 times, his teammates did not have a single assist defense, and he relied entirely on Marek to defend the opponent.

"If you continue to play like this, the game will be over." Duncan has already scored 28 points at this time, as long as he scores another goal, he can get 30 points, and he will score 30 points against UCLA.

And his scoring method has not changed in any way, it is still the iconic rebound shot, which is his best and safest scoring method.

"Who said he has no teammates!" The moment Duncan's body fell back, Mu Chenfeng and Oscar rushed out from left to right, and the two joined forces to hold down Duncan's shot.

Snapped! ! !
The basketball was blown far away and flew directly out of bounds. The momentum of the two completely overwhelmed Duncan. At that moment, it seemed that two mountain peaks were pressing towards him.

Beep~ Wake Forest has the right to the ball!

The referee gave a clear judgment that Wake Forest still had the right to attack, but Duncan Jr. suddenly became silent, drooping his head, very lifeless.

"Oops." The teammates immediately realized that this was a bad sign and signaled the coach to pause first, but the old Duncan ignored it with a serious face.

"It's time for this kid to suffer some setbacks." Old Duncan looked at his son with strange eyes. Little Duncan grew up under the protection of Old Duncan since he was a child, which made his character extremely fragile. He could easily become negative and depressed when he suffered a little setback. This would seriously affect his future basketball career. It is difficult for a glass heart to gain a foothold in the professional arena.

"Duncan!" Teammates came over to cheer him up one after another, hoping that he would not affect the following games because of a block. After all, Wake Forest wants to win, and Duncan can't have a problem with this.

Duncan didn't speak, his eyes were a little dull, a block was nothing, he had been blocked by others before, but the momentum of the double block just now was really intimidating, anyone would cast a shadow that he couldn't let go of for a while.

Duncan's wandering forced Wake Forest to send the ball out of bounds to other players. Mu Chenfeng appeared out of nowhere and directly intercepted the basketball's flight path. The basketball went straight into his arms, then shook his hands, and the basketball flew out at an extremely fast speed. Oscar had already fast-breaked to Wake Forest's basket.

Oscar didn't think that this dunk was outrageous, but the audience's reaction was extremely strong, because the smooth and powerful movements made his dunk very enjoyable, and it was the most perfect shot so far.

And the origin of this perfect dunk is Mu Chenfeng's steals and assists, at least half of the credit is his.

Oscar was not a violent dunker, but he still dunked, because he felt that only this kind of attack was worthy of Mu Chenfeng's foreshadowing.

Far away, Oscar raised his hands high in the air, waiting for Mu Chenfeng to clap his hands. Mu Chenfeng stood in place, and when the two intersected, a pair of hands slapped hard in the air with a crisp sound.

Blocks, steals, assists. Mu Chenfeng is slowly adapting to the rhythm of the NCAA game by scoring unexpectedly, and he has gradually integrated into the game.

Generally, players who have just been promoted to the NCAA from high school need three to five games to fully adapt to the high-intensity game, but Mu Chenfeng only took half a court to integrate into the game. Felix did not integrate as fast as Mu Chenfeng, and his performance was still a bit struggling.

But Mu Chenfeng is enough!

Duncan's state still has no meaning of recovery, which put Wake Forest into a passive situation, and even made an unimaginable pass across the half court. Such a long-distance pass in the game is a big taboo. The first basketball needs to go through a long flight in the air, and the second flight will slow down the speed of the ball. The above two points are deadly enough to create an easy steal for the opponent.

UCLA made the steal with little effort, and this time it was Oscar.

"Fast break!" Oscar said while throwing the ball. Before the players started, the basketball had already been passed, crossing the center line at a fast speed.

"Oscar is too anxious." Some of the audience didn't understand Oscar's operation. They usually start first and then pass the ball. This can give the players time to react, and the success rate of receiving the ball will be higher. It is rare to pass the ball first and then start. In the eyes of others, this is a sign of a mistake, because the speed of the ball is very fast. If the speed of the player is not enough, it is difficult to catch up with the ball.

"Is it a mistake?" The audience speculated, and some thought that Oscar made such a move only because of slippery hands.

"No! It's trust!" Some senior spectators saw the clues of this ball. It was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. If the ball was passed first, the fast break would be more sudden. The teammates had no time to react, and the opponent would also not react. As long as the teammates ran fast enough and received the ball before it went out of bounds, the probability of scoring the ball was 100%.

However, the premise is that the speed of the teammates is faster than the speed of the ball flying!
The speed of the basketball flying in the air is about 8 meters per second, and it only takes less than three seconds to cross the whole field. This requires the UCLA players to run 3 meters in three seconds to catch the ball, including starting.

Therefore, if UCLA wants to succeed in the fast break, it must play amazing speed.

"Felix, keep up!" Mu Chenfeng became the arrow of the fast attack, and called Felix together.

Fast break requires extremely high speed, and the probability of mistakes is greater than the probability of success.

But Oscar didn't have a worried expression on his face. He watched the double arrows rushing forward, and there was an incomparable newcomer in his eyes, "I believe that the two of them will definitely be able to do it!"

In the team's physical test, Mu Chenfeng's 1-meter sprint speed was No. 10 in the team, reaching 72 seconds. This is a very good result. Based on this speed, it is entirely possible for him to catch up with basketball.

Felix and Mu Chenfeng started at almost the same time, but his speed was obviously not as fast as Mu Chenfeng's. As the distance gradually opened up between the two, Mu Chenfeng ran in the front with a ride on Juechen, and hooked the basketball back before it went out of bounds, and his body also flew out of bounds because of gliding in the air.

"Next!" The moment he was about to go out of bounds, Mu Chenfeng passed the ball to Felix who was following up, and he fell out of the field.

The distance between the two when they sprinted was "just right". Felix caught the ball very comfortably, took off directly after catching the ball, and succeeded in picking the basket.

"It seems to have been perfectly integrated into the game." The performance of the two rookies has surprised Button and everyone present here. The word tacit understanding is no longer enough to describe the good chemical reaction between the two. Their cooperation is seamless.
