Chapter 24: The Heavenly Reward

  "This was a great game, and it left me with a very deep impression. First of all, the two excellent head coaches' tactics were impressive. Coach K started by using small player Steve Wojciechowski to defend against Duke's core player Carter, although Carter scored 18 points and 6 assists in this game, and Duke eventually won 100-99. However, Carter did not perform well throughout the game, and Duke's offense was also chaotic for a period of time. Steve Wojciechowski's defense was outstanding, and I think his playing style is similar to Payton's. Maybe Payton can also try to defend Jordan more often.

  As for Coach Z of Villanova, I think when he changed to a big lineup with one center and four small players in the second quarter, everyone would be shocked. This crazy lineup was unprecedented, it was a great innovation in basketball. And then there's Duncan, who performed the best in this game. I couldn't imagine that such a player has not yet entered the NBA. His dominance on the inside was simply unbelievable, even if he enters the NBA, he will still be one of the top centers.

  In this game, he scored 26 points, grabbed 21 rebounds, had 9 assists and 7 blocks, his all-around performance was simply incredible. In short, I think whether it's Duke or Villanova fans, they will all be excited about this epic battle. The 10,000 fans who were present at the scene today are the happiest basketball fans in the world. Of course, maybe those fans who sold their tickets will regret it for life, because they not only missed a classic game but also missed the opportunity to witness one of the greatest dunks in history.

  This was Larry Bird's final summary after the game. Although he smiled, his inner turmoil was like an impending flood."

  As the game ended, the "Vicksburg craze" swept across America once again, and Vicksburg became the focus of attention for all Americans.

  "Game? Yes, it was a great game. I'm proud of my teammates, they're the best. Lose? We didn't lose. You should ask the referees, ask the league, their performance is a shame to this game. And that Z coach from China, I don't like him, he shouldn't let his players play so dirty. When I saw Lagabere flying into Langston's body, I was stunned. This isn't Russian wrestling or Chinese martial arts, it's American basketball. He's not a professional head coach. Carter's dunk? Great, very good, one of the most beautiful I've seen in NCAA. He did great. Vicksburg has excellent players and a shameless coach."

  After the game, Coach K was interviewed without any reserve, with Zhu Fang standing right next to him, directly blasting Zhu Fang and the referees. This game must be the most frustrating for him, as Zhu Fang led Vicksburg to a perfect record by stepping on his and Duke University's bodies. In his opinion, his team was only 5 seconds away from victory, but it was stolen by that shameless Chinese man and the referees.

  "Haha, this was indeed a great game, both sides played very well, we were lucky to win, Duke University is admirable, LaGa is a kind kid, that flying tackle he has already learned his lesson, after the game he immediately apologized to Langdon, and Langdon also accepted his apology. As a defensive player it was an instinctive behavior, of course I also have responsibility, this should not have happened on the basketball court. As for the referees, they did very well, any sports competition referee should insist on letting the players decide the outcome of the game themselves. Although LaGa's tackle was questionable, today the referee insisted on the principle of letting the players decide the game, otherwise we wouldn't have seen Carter's incredible dunk at the end." Zhuang Fei said with a smile, he didn't blame Coach K for being angry, if he himself were in that situation he would probably be just like Coach K. He won this game, and that was enough.

  "This game was great, I watched it and it was very exciting. Grant Hill, the core of the Pistons, said that he and Landon even made a bet on this game, and in the end, he lost a meal to him."

  "Mick and the team have done their best, I think they will benefit a lot from this game in the future."

  "Kart is awesome, that one dunk I think will shock the whole world, Kart and I really look alike? I don't think so, actually I think he looks more like Michael."

  "My favorite Vicksburg player is naturally Tim Duncan, it's true, we've played against each other before, at that time he was just a freshman, and his skills were still very immature, it's hard to imagine that now he's already the best player in NCAA, just two years ago, he's a talented player, looking forward to seeing him on the NBA court"

  "China's Coach Z is great, if I were a coach I would have died before sending out such a lineup, but it turns out he was right, Duke University lost control of the game in the end, that's why they failed." Grant Hill has always been a gentleman, you can tell from his interviews.

  The aftermath of this game has spread to the NBA, and many players related to this game have been affected. Even some unrelated players will be affected.

  "Winston is awesome, he really reminds me of myself when I was young, although I was more obsessed back then. He's only a freshman now and I'm looking forward to his next game. UNC is going to be tragic again, they were suppressed by Duke in the past few years and now there's another Villanova, but ACC will always be the best league in NCAA, I'm so proud."

  "Want me to give Vince advice? I think he needs to get into the NBA first, then I'll tell him face-to-face." Jordan said with a smile. Michael Jordan was also asked about this, as a former player of the ACC North Carolina league. As soon as his statement ended, Carter probably became another "Flying Man" again.

  "I'm really eager to try out a lineup with five swingmen in the NBA, Coach Z's tactics make my blood boil. Actually, you don't know that when I was with the Lakers, I proposed that the future development of basketball would require players to be more and more comprehensive, and the best lineup is one composed of five technical swingmen around 2.05 meters tall. Unfortunately, I only put forward the theory but didn't actually practice it. This Chinese coach is even crazier than me, I'm looking forward to seeing if he'll use a lineup with five swingmen in the future."

  "What about Tim Duncan? I heard you're a big fan of his"

  "If Tim Duncan declares for this year's NBA draft, I'll go back and tank the whole season to get the first pick. If that doesn't work, I'd trade the entire team for the first pick," Heat new head coach Pat Riley said with a smile, not hiding his admiration for Vlade Divac and Dikembe Mutombo.

  "I've been following him all along, Tex Winter has recommended him to me countless times, but I thought he wouldn't deign to come to the Bulls. I have great respect for him, he's a great practitioner, and he's in the same class as Pat Riley and Don Nelson." said Phil Jackson, head coach of the Bulls, in an interview with CBS.

  Vicksburg Forest ACC regular season all win, 32 wins and 0 losses. After this classic battle, no one will question the water content of Vicksburg Forest's all-win record. This is a match that is not inferior to the NBA playoffs, which also makes some people re-examine the strength of the NCAA. In fact, in recent years, this has been the most prosperous year for American basketball talent, with talented players emerging one after another.

  Virginia Tech won the ACC regular season championship, and when they received the regular season championship flag, the ACC Tournament, also known as the postseason, was about to start. Virginia Tech ranked first without dispute, Georgia Tech ranked second, North Carolina third, and Duke fourth. In the first round of the tournament, Virginia Tech will face off against Duke again, with the location changed to Virginia Tech's home court.

  A dormitory in Vicksen Forest University, Zhuang Fei opened the Wang Dynasty system with full of expectation. The system just sent a message that the task has been completed and the reward has been delivered.

  "Is this the system's reward?" Zhuang Fei's mouth was agape in surprise as he stared at an item description. At the same time the system had sent over the reward, the Wang Dynasty System's item bar function had also been activated.

  Coach K's Prayer

  Item Grade: Special High-Grade Item

  Item Description: Use this item to increase all attributes of the global players on your team by 10 (only applicable to the host's team, one-time consumption item, limited to one match)

  "This is also too against the heavens!" Zhuang Fei was instantly speechless, only left with astonishment.
