NBA peak

Chapter 23 Against Kangda
Ge Feng could hear Julie's slightly nervous breathing.

"Uh... not yet..." Ge Feng stammered, his eyes trying to avoid Julie's half-exposed softness.

"Oh, that's good. If you figure it out one day, come and chase me at any time, and I won't refuse you."

While talking, Julie swaggered out of the restaurant with her bag in hand.

This girl is too stupid.

It seems that I need to get more familiar with the American atmosphere... Ge Feng thought speechlessly.

Time did not leave much time for Ge Feng. After getting close to the top 16, the team will soon fly to Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, where Iverson became famous, is also Kobe's hometown.

Ge Feng grew up watching the two of them play, and he had an indescribable affection for Philadelphia.

Fortunately, Ge Feng had the opportunity to come to Philadelphia in person, and played a 16-to-8 single-game elimination match against the University of Connecticut in this legendary venue.

Under the leadership of Kemba Walker, UConn won the NCAA championship four years ago.

With Kemba Walker, the main player of UConn entering the NBA professional league, and the experienced coach Calhoun has also announced his retirement, UConn is now a group of fresh faces.

However, Kangda has always been a team that can create miracles.

64 to 32 in a single knockout match, UConn, which was the last player, actually counterattacked and defeated the No. 3 seed Kentucky Nightcats.

This can be called the classic "cat and dog battle" of the century, "Night of Black Eight" is still discussed with great interest by countless fans.

Public opinion on INS is also continuing to ferment.

"Kang Dawei mighty, black eight miracles!"

"Continental University will make another move and bring the Duke Blue Devils into the water!"

"Ingram was injured and missed the game. I think UConn is very promising this time."

"Didn't there be a Chinese player named Ge Feng? I watched his game, and to be honest, I always felt that he was no worse than Ingram. Didn't the old K say that Ge Feng was their secret weapon?"

Immediately someone laughed: "You also believe the coach's interview script. After all, Ge Feng is a Chinese. I really don't believe how long he can last."

Many Duke fans also said: "Yeah, Ge Feng was useless in the second half, and it didn't work at all."

"I hope Duke will not be hacked again."

"..."

On the plane, Joshua handed the phone to Ge Feng and asked him to read the comments on INS.

Ge Feng has never had an INS account, so he knows very little about how he is evaluated online.

Many people on INS are insulting Chinese basketball, saying they are soft, which makes Ge Feng very angry.

Ge Feng put the newspaper on his face, leaned on the backrest and said nothing.

Joshua felt that Ge Feng was angry.

As a Chinese, Ge Feng is the least willing to see foreign countries discriminate against his country.

The game between Duke and UConn will be played a week later at Wachovia Center in Philadelphia.

After getting off the plane, they still have a week to rest.

The coach of UConn this year is Kevin Ollie and the core player Napier.

Napier plays a bit like Curry, with extremely accurate three-pointers and extremely fast shots.

In the famous cat-dog battle, it was Napier's unfathomable three-pointer that abruptly pulled Kangda back from hell.

Kangda's second core player Mark is also a defender who is good at three-pointers.

The backcourt formed by Napier and Mark is very much like the Splash Brothers of the Warriors.

This year, the Splash Brothers are killing a lot in the NBA, and they are quite likely to establish a dynasty.

When he came to Wachovia Center Stadium, Old K resumed his usual seriousness and began to supervise the players' training.

Trainer Ian is also on the sidelines.

When getting off the plane, Old K explained that the game against UConn is likely to be a three-point battle.

So Ge Feng trained extra hard.

The opponent in this game is Kangda, which has won two championships in four years in the past ten years, and is also a professional black eight player who has created countless black eight miracles.

Although UConn's record in the regular season is a bit worse, no one dares to underestimate this team with championship background.

I don't know if it was influenced by public opinion, but Ge Feng's three-point ability shown in the training game is really against the sky.

The rim is like a vast ocean, repeatedly being bombarded by Ge Feng's net.

The teammates all looked at Ge Feng like a monster, and asked Joshua one by one: "What the hell did you show Ge?"

Old K and Ian were relieved.

If Ge Feng can keep this feeling, it will be much easier to play against Kang Da.

At this time, Daryl's phone call came again.

Old K knew that there must be nothing good about Daryl's call, so he asked Ian to answer the call for him.

"Hello?" Darryl said on the other end of the phone.

"Manager, I'm Ian, old K is not here, just tell me if you have anything to do."

Darryl obviously didn't believe it very much: "Oh, you let him answer the phone, I have an important notice from the school leader to tell him."

Ian glanced at Old K, but Old K didn't respond.

Ian went on to say: "I already said that Old K is not here, you tell me directly, and I will tell him when Old K comes back."

Daryl said: "Okay then. According to the decision of the school management, Ge Feng must not be allowed to start again, and he must not be allowed to play for more than 10 minutes."

"How is this possible?!" Ian showed a surprised expression.

Old K knew that this phone call was not that simple, and it must be Darryl playing tricks inside again, which made the management make such an unfair decision.

Old K grabbed Ian's phone and asked, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

Daryl sneered and said, "Old K, that's not what I meant, it's the common opinion of the leadership team. The people above don't want to see a Chinese show off in our Duke."

"This is open regional discrimination! It violates the US Constitution!" Old K said angrily.

"Old K! Be careful what you say! Don't forget, no matter how famous you are, I'm your boss! Always!" Darryl refused to be outdone.

Old K hung up the phone angrily.

Ian looked at Old K with eyes that were almost begging for help: "Head coach, what should we do? Are we going to abandon Ge Feng?"

Old K's face was extremely gloomy, and he ignored Ian.

The day of the game is getting closer and closer.

All Duke University players can feel that Old K's mood is very bad.

Since Old K is unwilling to say more, everyone can only speculate silently, and no one dares to ask.

Finally, the duel between Duke and UConn officially began.

Before the start of the game, the NBA deliberately spared a day off to give the spotlight to this group of energetic children.

This is also a special case of the NCAA.

Whenever encountering a major NCAA event, the NBA will generally avoid its edge and choose to suspend the game.

After the NBA was suspended, many stars came to Wachovia Center to watch the younger generation's duel.

Among them, McGrady and Jordan came to the scene.

McGrady announced his retirement as early as 2013. This time McGrady made an appointment with Jordan to scout for rookies.

This game is related to the final eight, and the star effect is naturally indispensable.

The Big Three of TNT arrived as scheduled.

O'Neill, Barkley, and Smith started joking again in the live broadcast room.

Remember the last game when Barkley lost a bet and had to wear a red dress to commentate?
How could Shark and Smith miss such a good opportunity...
