unfinished glory

Chapter 8
"Good job! Good job!" Old coach K applauded from below to indicate that he was worried that Li Chongxiao was not tough enough, but now he prevented the opponent's breakthrough and rejected the opponent's easy score, he was very satisfied.

McCants flicked his wrist, ready to go to the free throw.Redick walked over suddenly, gave Li Chongxiao a sideways glance, and said, "Pay attention to your defense, this is not training." Then he walked near the middle circle.

Li Chongxiao was puzzled for a while, but it was Du Hong who came over and slapped Li Chongxiao's ass: "Don't mind, young man, you did a good job, you just have to be so tough!"

McCants hit the first free throw to start the second, with North Carolina's Sean May, Jawad Williams and Duke's Sheldon Williams, Shaverick Randolph on The basket huddled together.

The second free throw was a little short and bounced back.Li Chongxiao leaned against Sean May, jumped back high, and pocketed the rebound.

He didn't pass the ball out immediately, but held it in his arms.Seeing that he had no chance to draw the ball, McCants ran to his own half.

Then Li Chongxiao passed the ball to Du Hong who came to meet him, and ran across the frontcourt.Before he could take his seat, Redick came over to signal again: "Be careful, kid, I had a fast break just now!"

Li Chongxiao frowned, didn't take the matter to heart, and moved around actively.The round ended with a Sheldon Williams goal after a few passes.

At 57:51, Duke led by six.

North Carolina's offense is still handed over to McCants, and it seems that they plan to take advantage of Li Chongxiao's weakness.

Still in the same position, McCants opened the singles; the same Li Chongxiao firmly stuck in the position, preventing McCants from breaking through and making jump shots.

McCants repeated his tricks and rolled to the bottom line; Duke's Melvin Scott slipped to the bottom line with Redick who was defending himself.

Without running two steps, Redick suddenly gave up the defender and stepped forward to double-team.

Li Chongxiao thumped in his heart, Redick's decision was unexpected.

First, McCants is still at a 45-degree angle, which is not a good time for double-teaming, and double-teaming is also at the bottom line; secondly, Melvin Scott is walking towards the basket from the bottom line, unless McCants Ci is blind, otherwise a pass would be a goal.

Sure enough, before Redick came up, McCants hit the ground pass from between the two and assisted Melvin Scott for a layup.

57:53, just four points away.

Li Chongxiao was very annoyed, but he didn't intend to say anything.Who knew that Redick glared at him and said, "Rookie, there will be no next time for those who guard you!"

"Whose person got the points just now? You should take care of your own people." Li Chongxiao didn't know what Redick meant, but he was not a submissive master, so he replied very bluntly.

Then walk past Redick to the baseline and serve off.

Duhon watched the whole thing from the sidelines. He was a nice guy who didn't want the team to split, so he quickly pushed Redick to the frontcourt while he caught the ball in the backcourt.

Du Hong took the ball to the frontcourt and signaled for a tactic.Sheldon Williams came up to do the pick-and-roll, and Duhon took the ball and broke in at 45 degrees to the right.

At the same time, Shaverick Randolph on the left made a one-up for Redick on the baseline, allowing Redick to slide the baseline to the right.

Then Li Chongxiao made another single on the bottom line on the right, giving Redick a chance to make a three-pointer from the corner, and Redick hit a three-pointer.

The score was 60:53, with 8 minutes left in the game.

McCants came over to catch the ball and signaled to pull away, Li Chongxiao was furious, and also signaled for one-on-one defense, and gave Redick a special look.

Redick pouted and walked to the other side, crossing his hips.

McCants was about to dribble a breakthrough this time, and first took a few steps back after dribbling, but Li Chongxiao quickly followed without losing his position.

Then McCants dribbled the ball to the baseline, and then pulled the ball back with an emergency stop, without shaking Li Chongxiao away.

Then he bowed to Buddha with his left hand, and was about to point Li Chongxiao up, but who knew that Li Chongxiao didn't take his fake move and still stood in front of him.

McCants had no choice but to hit back again.

But Li Chongxiao could see through the video tape and the off-court just now, that although the opponent's back-up was good, there were no fake moves, and they all relied on their wingspan to force a fallback jumper.

The opponent reached near the bottom line, Li Chongxiao slowly controlled his strength, watched the opponent make unskilled fake moves, leaned on him and turned around.

At this time, when the opponent approached, Li Chongxiao leaned back slightly, then jumped up vigorously, swung his right hand forward fiercely, and hit the basketball in the eyes of McCants' surprised eyes.

With a "bang", the basketball flew out of the baseline.Li Chongxiao clenched his right hand and roared.

The cheerleaders of the Blue Devils jumped to their feet, and the audience erupted. Some people in the audience chanted "Daye Lee" sporadically, and then gradually the entire audience chanted.

Hearing that everyone in the audience was calling his name, Li Chongxiao's heart became hot. He had never encountered such treatment since he came to Duke.

At this moment, he felt that he was the emperor on TV, accepting the three shouts of long live from the ministers.A kind of ambition rose from his heart, he wanted to play better, and he wanted to enjoy this cheer for a long time.

Randolph came over to face him, Duhon came over and thumped his chest, the sound of the audience slowly dissipated, and North Carolina was ready to serve.

McCants took the initiative to come out and catch the ball a little before the center circle.This time he rushed straight up, dribbled to the free throw line, and was about to stop for a jumper.

One hand cuts to the ball as he jumps into the air and turns the ball up.

Li Chongxiao steals the ball cleanly, then he picks up the ball and starts to drive forward.

A few steps later, he took a big step to the free throw line, and then he took off, a one-armed windmill in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket.

The arena that had been quiet just now exploded with a "coax". Everyone stood up, and some even covered their heads. "Daye Lee" rang through Cameron Arena again.

North Carolina called a timeout, and Andy Borman came up and pushed Li Chongxiao, and several other people also surrounded him

Neither side scored in the two rounds back from the timeout, and Duke still led North Carolina by nine points 62:53.

With 5 minutes left, Duke brought in Luol Deng on the ball, replaced Redick, and gave him 2 minutes to rest.

Li Chongxiao then stayed on the court, and with more than three minutes left, he ran tactics to get a chance for a corner three-pointer, and made a steady hit, extending the lead to 10 points.

With 2 minutes left in the game, Redick came on to replace Duhon, who had made four fouls and played the whole game, and then made a three-pointer to open the score to 12 points, completely declaring the end of the game.

In the end, Duke won the game 74-60.

Li Chongxiao played for nearly 10 minutes, scored two of three shots, scored 5 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block. More importantly, he proved that he can gain a foothold on the NCAA field.
