On March 30, 1996, the final four matches of the NCAA Tournament in the 95-96 season were held at the New Jersey Nets' home arena at the Continental Route Arena, and the teams participating in the games were the UCLA Bruins, the Syracuse University Orange People, the University of Kentucky Wildcats, and the University of Massachusetts Militia.

At two o'clock in the afternoon on March 30, the game between the Kentucky Wildcats and the Massachusetts Militia began, and the Kentucky Wildcats were slightly stronger than the Massachusetts Militia. In the Kentucky Wildcats, the point guard is Tony Deck, who is 1.88 meters tall, this player has some physical fitness, in addition to the desire to score is stronger than the desire to assist, and he is also a good hand on the three-point line. Walter McCaddy, born in 1974, is also a good player on the outside of the Kentucky Wildcats, and he also has good defensive ability. Anthony Walker, a sophomore who grew up in Illinois, is two meters and six meters tall and weighs more than 110 kilograms, but he is flexible enough to play both power forward and small forward positions on the court, and his three-point shot is not accurate but unstoppable when he explodes. Derrick Anderson, Kentucky's main shooting guard, has a very good physical condition and excellent team spirit, and is one of the main firepower points of the Wildcats on the outside.

The Massachusetts Militia have this year's best interior player, Marcus Camby, a player who grew up in the slums of Hartford, the capital of Connecticut, with a height of two meters and one by one, amazing jumps, excellent defensive awareness, and his ability to block is his specialty, and he is known as Olajuwon's successor.

The matchup ended with a victory for the Kentucky Wildcats, who blew up the Minutemen from the outside, and although the Minutemen's Marcus Camby scored a game-high 25 points, the Wildcats won the game 81-74.

At 6 p.m. on March 30, the 20,000-capacity Continental Airlines arena will be filled to capacity, and the UCLA Bruins and Syracuse University Orange People will play the winner of this year's NCAA championship two days later against the Kentucky Wildcats.

Syracuse's number one star is their on-court captain John Wallace, who is two meters and three meters tall and weighs one hundred and two kilograms, and can play multiple positions on the court, born in 1974, he is now in his senior year, this will be his last NCAA time, and he does not want to be left with regrets.

On the Bruins' side, Paul Pierce's suspension ended, and he couldn't wait to get ready to play in this game, and Pierce wanted to apologize to his teammates for his performance in the game, because his lack of calm almost prevented the team from advancing to the quarterfinals.

"Boys, I'm sure you all know the strength of your opponents, so I don't want you to get distracted in the next game and take your attention away from the cameras on the sidelines and the cheerleaders on the sidelines, I'm sure you're going to surprise everyone, right? Liu, you have to shoot more in this game, their point guard Smith is only 1.79 meters tall, as long as he is on the court, there will definitely be a misalignment, this is our chance, try to blow him up, we have to show what we usually train in this game, they can't stop us. Head coach George Krent gave pre-game encouragement and arrangements to the Bruins' players.

Liu Han didn't feel too nervous in this game, he showed an adaptation to competitive sports in last year's game, and most of the young players would definitely feel uncomfortable under the watchful eyes of the 20,000 spectators, but Liu Han did not feel that his life since childhood allowed him to face all problems calmly in most situations.

At the beginning of the game, Syracuse's center jumped ball to win, and the Bruins' lineup today is playing small ball tactics, so the starting center is Thomson, who is two meters and eight meters tall, and his bounce is not outstanding.

Syracuse's first offense was completed when their number one star John Wallace forced Pierce to foul Pierce after receiving a pass from point guard Smith, but the young Pierce was still inexperienced in the game, and Syracuse led 3-0.

The Bruins served the ball from the bottom line, Liu Han quickly advanced to the front court after receiving the ball, facing the defense of Smith, who was 1.79 meters tall, Liu Han did not hesitate to hit three points, and Syracuse studied the Bruins before the game, but in the end let Smith defend Liu Han in the opposite position, because the offensive organization on the Syracuse side mainly relied on Smith, but Smith, who was not tall enough, was misplaced on the court no matter which position of the Brown Bears team. The Bruins leveled the score at 3-3.

Syracuse offense, John Wallace mentioned that the line was covering point guard Smith, the Bruins changed defenses, Liu Han defended the opponent's John Wallace alone, Smith hit the ground and passed the ball to John Wallace at the top of the arc, Liu Han did not choose to defend Wallace closely, before the game, head coach George studied all the opponent's players, and he explained the characteristics of Syracuse players to the Bruins players, so Liu Han knew that John Wallace's shooting was not very good.

John Wallace saw that his opponent, a somewhat thin looking Oriental, had let him go two steps away, so he decided to try his hand at the beginning of the game, and the basketball was lucky enough to bounce into the net after knocking the front of the basket, 5-3.

The Bruins continued to attack, Liu Han still took the ball quickly to the front court and then directly ignored the opponent's point guard's defense and hit three points, which made Syracuse's point guard Smith feel very helpless, and in the face of Liu Han's unreasonable three points, Smith had no way, 5-6.

At the beginning of the game, both teams' offenses were completed, but it seemed that the Bruins were more dominant on the field, and Syracuse's offense was very reluctant, and each attack on the Bruins' side ended in less than ten seconds.

Syracuse's third offense did not succeed, Liu Han strengthened the defense of the opponent's point guard Smith, his physical condition and physical strength are better than Smith, and the defensive experience is relatively sufficient, so the lack of Syracuse organized by Smith forced the Bruins inside, but Thomson's defense played a role, and the ball did not score under interference. Paul Pearce grabbed that rebound.

Liu Han turned around and ran directly to the front court after seeing Paul Pierce grab the rebound, Pierce launched an attack with a pass, Liu Han scored the ball with a three-step layup after receiving the ball, and only point guard Smith was in place on the Syracuse side, Liu Han could basically ignore the opponent's defense. After that less than five seconds of offense, the Bruins took the lead in less than two minutes of the opening game, 5-8.

The game continued, Syracuse did not have a good way to face the opponent's shrinking defense, the Brown Bears implemented the defensive tactics arranged today very thoroughly, everyone defended the outside line is to prevent breakouts and not to prevent shooting, you can shoot me I admit it, if you can't throw, you can only blame yourself for not fighting.

Syracuse's head coach Jim Boham had to call a timeout less than five minutes into the game, as the Bruins nearly wiped out Syracuse, scoring 19 points in less than five minutes and only eight points.

Coming back from the timeout, Syracuse had to replace their main point guard, Smith, a point that is the biggest hole in the defense, and almost every player on the Bruins can do whatever they want on this point.

The game continued, after Smith left the game, Syracuse's offense was mainly focused on John Wallace, John Wallace relied on his strong body to repeatedly impact the inside of the Bruins, the Bruins did not have too much confrontation with the opponent, they are still ten points ahead of the opponent, and they do not need to strengthen the defense too much, as long as the success rate is guaranteed in the offense.

Replaced with a defensive player with enough height, Syracuse still didn't have a good way to deal with the Bruins' mercury-like offense, and they could only rely on the individual play of their stars to catch up with the score.

The Bruins showed the results of their pre-season training in this game, Liu Han was a step above these ordinary college players after training in the training camp last summer, plus he now has more game experience, his observation of the situation on the court and the control of the team's rhythm are even better, many young players can't stop at all as long as they run in the game, like a car with only the accelerator pedal and no brakes, But Liu Han has done a great job of this, and he can now know whether the team should play fast or slow without a reminder from the head coach. Sometimes, a good point guard can change a team, and if the Bruins don't have Liu Han now, the Bruins are estimated to be a top 16 team at most.

At halftime, the Bruins had a twenty-point lead, 34-55.

Returning from halftime, Syracuse began to step up their aggression in the game as they tried to give it a go.

The Bruins, who already have experience, appear to be mature in the face of such fierce competitions, and they do not go too much to the opponent to fight hard, but rely on the cooperation of the whole team to organize the offense and defense.

Just after 10 minutes into the second half, the Bruins had a 27-point lead, and the Syracuse University Orange People were gone. In the end, the Bruins won the game bloodlessly, Liu Han played 33 minutes, 12 of 17 shots, 6 of 8 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, scored 35 points and 12 assists, Pierce played 30 minutes and scored 22 points and 7 rebounds, and the Bruins defeated the opponent 109-76 by 33 points.

Two days later, the Bruins will face the Kentucky Wildcats in the final battle for the championship on this field, and the two teams with similar styles will face off, which will attract a lot of fan and media attention, and the game's ratings are sure to increase.
