Recalling the distant memory, coach K told the reason why he asked Yang to come:

"Have you decided? Your future"

"I have decided to leave this year. However, before I leave, I will bring the championship trophy back to the school from Indiana."

"Well, I'm relieved now that you've thought it through. I'm just worried that you will be enveloped by the nervousness and wavering emotions before the finals, so I asked one more question."

"Well, I'm treating the finals with the same attitude as usual, so coach, don't worry. Is there anything else? I haven't packed my luggage yet!"

"Well, let's go and clean up quickly. I won't talk to you anymore." Looking at Yang's playful and smiling expression, Coach K began to chase him away.

"Come back, take away the championship videos of Kaminsky and Decker, and on the plane to Indiana, you need to remember their offensive habits." Coach K, who almost forgot important things, quickly called Young back.

On a flight from North Carolina to Indianapolis, the capital of Indiana.

"Yang, what do you want to eat?" Hearing Quinn Cook's voice, Yang put down the pen in his hand.

"Quinn, I'm not hungry, just give me two glasses of water."

"What are you looking at?" Seeing Yang start copying again with concentration, Quinn Cook, who was sitting aside, turned his head.

"Videos of several key players from Wisconsin in the championship, as well as defensive videos of when the team that lost the game against them used help defense."

"Then what do you know about it?"

"It's very simple to deal with Decker, who scored 5 rebounds and 1 assist in the championship with 206 points. The defense should be extended outwards and let Matt close up to restrict him from receiving the ball. If you can't restrict him, push him out as much as possible to get him out of Wisconsin's offensive system.

Peel off.

The trouble now is the senior center. He is a center who can shoot three-pointers and has a good shooting percentage. Once Marshall goes out with him, the basket without two long men will be completely empty, leaving such an empty penalty area.

It will become the top priority of our defense.”

"Then have you thought of a solution?"

"Either I'll go for two minutes, or I'll work on rotation speed and open three-point shooting."

Indianapolis, the capital of Indiana, when Duke and his team came to this city, the city had already entered the tranquility of the night.

After the whole team checked into the hotel, Old K reminded him of the time for warm-up training before the game, and then sent his team members back to their rooms early for sleep activities.

wake up

Yang stretched and looked at the time on the alarm clock and laughed with satisfaction, because he had a very satisfying sleep this time.

After eating some vegetable leaves and non-fat yogurt at the hotel, Young and his teammates began the special training prepared by coach K for Wisconsin...

…………

At 7:48 pm on April 6, downtown Indianapolis began to become congested. More and more fans began to appear on the streets. They wore Wisconsin and Duke jerseys and began to march towards Lucas Oil Stadium.

, the closer you get to the stadium, you will find more and more crowds of people gathering, from one to three to countless.

As the audience began to enter the arena, Coach K’s voice rang out in the Duke locker room:

"Everyone, put down what you are doing and listen to what I have to say." At this time, people present noticed that Coach K's momentum was completely different from before the start of the previous game.

"I have seen everyone's efforts this year. Although we were not favored, we still defeated Robert Morris University and San Diego State University by a big score. Although we encountered difficulties in the game against the University of Utah

, but you used the best offense and the best defense to get rid of them, and brought us to Indianapolis, to Lucas Oil Stadium where the finals were held. But today, I hope you can give a 120 attitude

and ability, because the opponent Wisconsin cannot be underestimated. They just defeated the University of Kentucky, which had never lost a game before, and their confidence and spirit are at their highest peak."

"Although I have said some bad things, I still want to emphasize what I said before:

"When we come to Indiana, we will bring that damn trophy back to Duke. If anyone dares to stop our championship journey..."

"Then destroy them, and the championship can only belong to us." At this time, Grayson Allen, who was standing aside, couldn't help but shout out his voice.

"Champion, champion, champion."

"Champion, champion, champion."

"Marshall, Kaminsky leaves it to you. It doesn't matter if you get hit by a three-pointer, but you have to guard against the low post and protect yourself." As everyone's excitement dropped, Coach K began to lay out the strategy.

"Tyus, the point guard on the opposite side is not as good as you, so you have to control the rhythm in your hands. Go fast when you should, and slow when you should. If Young is flanked, you must be a good receiver."

"Winslow, guard the backcourt rebounds, and seize the opportunities of fixed-point and chaotic battles. On the defensive end, your task is to consume Sam Decker, allow him to shoot, block the breakthrough route of his dominant hand, and make sure that he is able to transition from offense to defense.

Don't let him run away."

"Understood. I will let his data be lower than the average data of the championship." As he spoke, Young saw the green light flashing in Winslow's eyes.

"Quinn, Koenig is yours. I have only one request for you, and that is to pay attention to the position of your teammates." After Winslow, Coach K looked at Quinn Cook.

"Well, I understand."

"Young, your task is the most important. First of all, defense. When Kaminsky pulls out from the outside, your opponent Nigel Hayes is basically in the corner, so there is an empty basket and shooters in the corner.

In between, you need to grasp the time to help defend; secondly, when you are on the line, if Decker breaks through, you must also be prepared to "swipe to assist defense". If there are too many fouls, you must protect yourself first

.”

"If there is a stalemate on the offensive end, you must be ready to take over. Whether it is two points or three points, I will give you full power to deal with it. But remember not to beat four people by yourself."

20:38, 40 minutes before the start of the game

"Everyone, let's go. We've informed you that you can warm up." Following the assistant coach's shout, the Duke players began to leave the locker room and go to the field to warm up.

Yang, who was walking at the end, seemed to remember something as soon as he came out of the locker room. He walked straight to his seat and took off his white beats.

"Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang" as he walked into Lucas Oil Arena, Young's first six single-leg spin shots all hit the frame.

"Dang, Dang, Dang!" A few minutes later, Yang's three shots from ten meters away all failed again. For a time, Young's shooting touch became a hot topic.
Chapter completed!
