The awkward 12-hour time zone difference between Durham and Beijing did not stop the Duke team back home from sharing in the epic Gold Medal Game live. The players and staff arrived at Scharf Hall (adjacent to Cameron) prior to the 2:30 AM EST opening tip and enjoyed a team meal as well (breakfast food such as pancakes and french toast).
Shortly after halftime, Gerald surprised Jon with a birthday cake and later declared that Spain’s center Marc Gasol was the “Spanish Brian Zoubek”. G hoped Gasol and Zoubs could meet 1-on-1 at some point for a very intense matchup.
After watching their coach win the Gold, the guys headed to bed around 5 AM excited for the return of the Duke staff. Things will get back to normal on Monday as classes resume and the staff arrives shortly at 5 PM.
