Okafor was in shape the entire game.
But this is the finals, a single elimination system.
Old K doesn't have time for Okafor to get back in shape.
He called a timeout and yelled, "We've been playing badly during this period, we're going to get more rebounding, we're going to be more aggressive down the court, we're going to force them to slow down the dribble, we can't let them Play a quick counterattack. Jack, I want you to attack more aggressively, and everyone else must help Jack create opportunities. This is the finals, there will be no next game. I want you to bring out all your strength, I want you Run, I want you to run non-stop as long as the clock is ticking. Run the whole race. Get it?"
"Yes, coach!"
Old K stretched out his hand and shouted, "OK, 1, 2, 3..."
All players put their hands on it, "Blue Devils!"
After returning from the timeout, Duke stepped up the run.
Jones took the ball to the frontcourt, Wen Slaw came out to cover, blocked Koenig, and Zhang Zifeng ran out of space.
Jones immediately passed the ball, then ran to the baseline and pulled the defender away.
Zhang Zifeng received the ball, and when he broke through to the inside, Hayes and Kaminsky came up to double-team.
Zhang Zifeng passed the ball to Okafor, and then ran to the other side of Okafor.
Okafor blocked Kaminsky with his body, and Hayes hurriedly tried to go around and chase Zhang Zifeng.
But in this short gap of one second, Zhang Zifeng received a pass back from Okafor, shot a three-pointer from behind him, and the basketball fell into the basket very accurately.
44:38
The University of Wisconsin served, and the whole army of Duke University pressed on.
Kaminsky found the right receiver when he served the ball, Decker used the screen, and just ran out to catch the ball.
Zhang Zifeng hurried forward to defend, and Okafor sandwiched him back and forth. Decker was squeezed and almost fell down.
At this time, Kaminsky had sent the ball, which happened to be delivered to Zhang Zifeng.
Zhang Zifeng made a layup, 44:40.
At the moment of crisis, Zhang Zifeng of Duke University became the leader, setting off a climax of Duke University's counterattack.

Penguin platform anchor Wang Meng shouted excitedly, "Zhang Zifeng's power was revealed at this time. He scored 8 points in the second half, helping Duke University to catch up with the score!"
Huaxia fans typed subtitles when they saw it.
"Based on Big Crazy's performance today, MOP is in his pocket!"
"Did you see that, once my crazy brother shows off his power, Duke University will be invincible!"
"Crazy brother, who dares to compete with him!"
……
Just when the state of Duke University is bravely trying to take the opportunity to overtake, when all the Blue Devils fans are fantasizing about the scene of winning the championship.
With 7:10 left in the second half, a Kaminsky fake at the basket drew a foul from Okafor.
Okafor commits four!
When all the Blue Devils fans saw this scene, they couldn't help but slumped on the chairs with their heads in their hands and shouted, "NO! NO..."
Old K opened his hands and didn't know what to say.
Breen yelled, "At the critical moment, Okafor made an irrational foul and got him a fourth foul. This fourth foul will send him to the bench again. Now the old coach K has to put Pu Lumley comes on!"
Kaminsky made two free throws, 53:50.
Back in the frontcourt, Zhang Zifeng got the ball, and Koenig and Kaminsky double-teamed Zhang Zifeng.
Although Okafor is not in good form this game, but he is on the court, and Kaminsky dare not let him go.
Plumlee's skills are rough. Apart from scoring at the basket, he has no other offensive means, and he moves slowly.
Kaminsky can be so bold as to give up on him and double-team Zhang Zifeng.
Other teammates wanted to help Zhang Zifeng create opportunities, but with Plumlee on the court, the offense was 4v5.
Zhang Zifeng didn't run out of space several times, watching the attack time pass by.
Jones had no choice but to pass the ball to Plumlee, who was unguarded, and Plumlee dribbled the ball to dunk.
Just two moves, smack! Hayes fouled directly on him.
Plumlee missed a free throw.
With the ball at the University of Wisconsin, Kaminsky beat Plumlee and made a back shot.
55: 50.
Zhang Zifeng received the serve from the backcourt and rushed to the frontcourt.
Okafor is not here, Winslow is not feeling well today, Zhang Zifeng understands that playing positional warfare, Duke University does not have the advantage.
"Oh..." Brin shouted: "Zhang Zifeng is heading towards the frontcourt. But Gasel and Koenig have already retreated in the half court, and Gasel and Decker are facing each other one after the other. Double-teamed him. What is Zhang Zifeng going to do? Do it by himself, or pass the ball to a player. But the player closest to him has just passed halftime, and the opportunity to pass the fast break is lost at this time."
Looking at the basket getting closer and closer, Zhang Zifeng had only one thought in his mind - I must win this game!
When Gasel rushed head-on, Zhang Zifeng threw the ball to the backboard.
Everyone was stunned, what is Zhang Zifeng doing?
Alley-oop dunk, but his teammates are behind.
Could it be that Zhang Zifeng is trying his luck to shoot when he sees no chance?
But this shot is too outrageous!
Just when everyone was wondering, including Gasel and Koenig, who were stunned for a second.
When Zhang Zifeng threw the ball, he didn't slow down at all, he just dodged past Gasel and jumped hard.
It was only at this time that Gasel and Koenig came to their senses and hurriedly followed.
But one second later, the last chance was lost.
Zhang Zifeng jumped in the air and caught the basketball in the air.
As soon as he received the ball, Zhang Zifeng felt embarrassed.
The ball was not thrown well, the basket was over the head, and there was no chance of dunking.
In an instant, Zhang Zifeng's body reacted like an instinct.
Zhang Zifeng took the ball back, pulled the bar in the air, and switched the ball to his left hand for a layup.
The ball hit the inside of the basket and bounced into the basket, 55:52.
Brin laughed and shouted, "Hahaha, Zhang Zifeng should have wanted to throw himself away, but it seems that the plan couldn't keep up with the change. Fortunately, he had better make the best choice at that moment, using a lever Basket ball scored!"
Blue Devils fans don't care if it's a layup or a dunk, as long as they can score.At this time, Zhang Zifeng is their hero!All Blue Devils fans are cheering for his previous performance.
After scoring the ball, Zhang Zifeng quickly returned to the half court, ready to meet the University of Wisconsin's offense.
Kaminsky took the ball and scanned the situation on the court. His teammates had already walked away when he received the ball to create space for him.
Hayes came up to make a screen, and Kaminsky went straight to the penalty area with the ball.
When Kaminsky was about to make a layup, his eyes suddenly went dark.
Someone stood under the basket, and Kaminsky couldn't brake, so he hit him directly.
Zhang Zifeng was hit fiercely, fell to the ground and slid for two or three meters.
The whistle sounded, and the referee made a gesture of punching in the direction of the University of Wisconsin, an offensive foul!
Duke University fans jumped for joy when they saw it, there is still a chance, we still have a chance!
The players from the University of Wisconsin surrounded the referee and complained, and Kaminsky yelled at the referee, "Foul! No, it's definitely a blocking foul..."
Beau Ryan also yelled at the assistant referee excitedly, "Is that an offensive foul? Are you kidding me? Don't you wear glasses..."
With the help of his teammates, Zhang Zifeng stood up, rubbed his chest that was still in pain, and let out a breath, just now he thought he was going to die.
Zhang Zifeng stretched out his hand and shouted to his teammates: "Cheer up, the game is not over yet, we still have a chance! If we are not as strong as our opponents, we will run more and use our sweat to make up the gap! Don't forget What are we? We are the Duke Blue Devils, the Blue Devils who can scare everyone! The Blue Devils who will never give up hope! Let's walk out of the arena proudly with victory!"
Seeing that captain Zhang Zifeng can block Kaminski's foul with his body in order to win a chance to have the ball.
The shy Winslow and the others nodded heavily, and put their hands on Zhang Zifeng's.
"one two Three……"
"Blue Devils!" Everyone yelled.
Plumlee and Winslow still didn't have any good shots under the opponent's tight defense, and they used all their strength to block the opponent's attack.
All of them looked like desperate Saburo.
"Don't miss out!"
"Defense, pay attention to defense!"
"Defense, keep an eye on the inside!"
Everyone shouted loudly to remind their teammates, and also tried their best to help them make up for the loopholes in defense.
A united Duke kept Wisconsin scoreless for two and a half minutes.
With only 3 minutes and 41 seconds left in the second half, Plumlee finally helped Zhang Zifeng block the shot through active screens, support, and pick-and-rolls.
Zhang Zifeng hit a three-pointer, 55:55, a tie.
Beau Ryan hurriedly called a timeout, and he wanted to rearrange his tactics.
Brin shouted, "The game is coming to an end. Duke University just tied the score, and now there are only 3 minutes left in the game. The two teams are back on the same starting line again. Today's defeat is not for any team. Saying that is unacceptable; whoever wins the game wins the championship!"
Van Gundy said with a sigh, "Zhang Zifeng has grabbed 5 rebounds. In this game, Zhang Zifeng set a rebound record. With Okafor being troubled by fouls, Zhang Zifeng knew that he had to do more. In this game, scoring, Rebounds, assists, steals and even blocks, Zhang Zifeng has done everything he can do!"
Jackson also said: "Before the game, people thought it was just a game between Duke University and the University of Wisconsin. But now, I prefer to see it as a tit-for-tat match between Kaminsky and Zhang Zifeng! It's different, but both of them performed very well in this game. They are both leaders who carry the team on their shoulders. If the team can win, the person in it must be the MOP, there is no doubt about it! "
Old K called Okafor, "I'll let you go again. Be careful about fouling, but you still have to defend the inside. He is planning how to send you off, so try to reduce the number of fouls as much as possible. Understand?"
"Yes, coach!"
Beau Ryan is also telling Kaminsky, "Wait until the opponent's No. 15 will definitely play. Kaminsky, you insist on playing inside to fight him physically. I hope he will be sent off, OK?"
"Okay, coach!"
In the last 3 minutes of the second half, the final decisive moment finally came!
