PS: I made a revision to the previous chapter this morning, and readers who read it before nine o'clock in the morning can re-download it and take a look.

——————

Today is April 1st, April Fool's Day, and there are four days to go before the match against Marquette University.

Lu Fei gave Anthony Washington a bag of biscuits early in the morning, and then came to the stadium to train.

Lorenzo Roma is pleased with the form of his players' training and will be confident of winning their next game against Universidad Marquette, a team that has not reached the semi-finals.

In his mind, this year may be the year when the Huskies have the best chance of winning the championship.

The four teams in the semi-finals are not traditional powerhouses, and although each team can reach the semi-finals, although the strength is not weak, there is also an element of luck.

For example, Marquette University, whether facing the University of Pittsburgh or the University of Kentucky, narrowly defeated its opponents, and if it weren't for Dwyane Wade's strong play, I am afraid that they would have been eliminated home long ago.

In the morning, he did physical training and a 5-on-5 matchup, and in the afternoon he arranged for the team to analyze the opponent's video.

As the sun set and a slanting sun shone through the glass outside the arena and spilled onto the floor, Lu Fei and his teammates walked into the tactical analysis room, Romar had turned on the projector, and the curtain was playing the match between Marquette University and the University of Pittsburgh.

The match was won by Universitatea Marquette 77-74.

Marquette University's No. 3 player Dwyane Wade had 21 points, six rebounds and five assists, while the University of Pittsburgh's best player was their No. 1 player, Julius Page, who had just 12 points, three rebounds and two assists.

The two teams have distinct characteristics, with Marquette relying more on star players, while the University of Pittsburgh plays more team basketball.

Once all the players had arrived, Romaar motioned for everyone to watch the game on the screen.

Not long after the start of the game, the University of Pittsburgh used all its strength to defend Dwyane Wade, and recklessly fouled him, leaving Wade without a chance to shoot for a while.

But just two minutes later, Wade received the basketball through an air cut, and then accelerated into the inside, one left and one right, and shook off the center with one hand, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

"What a speed!"

"How did he get there?"

"Is this time a European step?"

"How did he do that dunk after the European step?"

All the team members were shocked by Wade's attack, and Lu Fei sighed secretly, he knew that this was just Wade's regular operation.

He remembered what Ray Allen said to him after his first game against the University of Montana, there are too many talented guys in this world, not to mention that after this year's training, Lu Fei's skills and body have improved greatly, so Lu Fei may not be completely sure that he can beat these people.

At this point, Ronal pressed a pause.

"You can see that Marquard's No.3 Dwyane Wade's air cuts are astounding in terms of awareness and speed, and I think it's difficult for anyone to defend a player like that." Romar gestured with his hand to Wade's attacking line: "And this player's understanding of the space on the pitch is even more surprising to me, you can take a look at the route he chose......"

The screen moved slightly, and Wade was on the most crowded side of the court, but he only slipped through the gaps, and by the time he got to the team, there was only one center in front of him.

Romaar summed it up: "In my opinion, Dwyane Wade is a physically strengthened version of the weakened version of the shooting Lu Fei!" ”

Then the team started talking about how to defend Marquette University, but it was more about how to defend Wade.

Everyone's opinion is still up to Lu Fei to defend, but Lu Fei is noncommittal about this suggestion, he understands that if his body carries Wade's weight of 212 pounds, even if he is tired, he will not be able to bear it.

"I think I can learn a little bit about the University of Pittsburgh's defense." Lu Fei said.

Everyone was stunned, the University of Pittsburgh lost to Marquette, and they still learned their defense?

Romaar nodded and said: "Lu Fei is right, although Pittsburgh lost, they only lost by 3 points, and the reason why they lost was not defense, but because they did not have a sufficient offensive strength, but don't forget that the most important thing our team lacks is the offensive point." ”

Romar's words made everyone suddenly realize that the Huskies have enough offensive points to make all NCAA colleges envious, Lu Fei, Roy, Robinson, and even Anthony Washington can crush and play very chic if he encounters a weak center.

In the following moments, the focus of the analysis shifted from Marquette to Pittsburgh's defense.

Marquard's defense is not complicated, and the combination defense and the one-and-eye quad are constantly switching, forcing the opposition to shoot from a distance.

Wade's long-range shooting percentage is not high, and he is more likely to cause damage through breakaways.

But they have two shooters, their playmaker Travis Turner and small forward Steve Novak, both of whom are shooting more than 40% from three-point range, with Novak even reaching a terrifying 50.5%, which is the main reason why Marquette can reach the Final Four.

Wade's breakthrough caused the opponent to shrink the defense, if the opponent narrowed the defense, then the two anti-aircraft guns on the outside Turner and Novak will make the opponent suffer, if the defense is not reduced, the open space in the box is like his own back garden for Wade to enter and exit at will.

This style of play was not until it ran into the University of Pittsburgh, which borrowed the usual European defensive line and then combined it with a four-star tactic to narrow the defensive range while not giving the two shooters a chance to shoot.

One star, two shooters.

If two shooters are on the floor at the same time, one must be selectively abandoned, and Pittsburgh chose to give up Turner, because Turner still needs to organize the offense, so the three-point shooting efficiency is much lower than Novak's.

And this style of play has also become Kentucky's main style of play when defending Marquette.

It's just that Kentucky can't be an anti-dog, vacillating between man-marking and joint defense, but Marquette University seized the opportunity to overtake the score in one fell swoop, win the game, and advance to the final four.

The sun gradually sets, and a touch of slanting sun on the horizon reflects the whole campus very gently.

Lorenzo Roma glanced down at his phone, then at the sky outside, turned off the projector, and asked everyone to go back and think about what they saw today, tomorrow the team will be familiar with the defensive tactics of the joint defense.

The Huskies occasionally play joint defense, especially when Nate Robinson leads the bench, mainly because Nate's height is often targeted by opponents, so there is no choice but to use joint defense to make up for his defensive weaknesses.

Lu Fei is packing up his things,

Lorenzo Romar walked over, "Lu, there is someone who wants to see you, he waited for you for an afternoon......"

Lu Fei was stunned.

"Who?"

Romar looked around and whispered, "Mike Milan." ”

“……”

At this time, Anthony Washington's wail suddenly came from the locker room: "Lu Fei, what kind of biscuit are you fucking giving me, how can it be toothpaste in it?!" ”

"Happy April Fool's Day." Lu Fei smiled, turned back to Romar and asked, "Wouldn't what you just said be an April Fool's joke?" ”

"Absolutely not!"

Romaar rolled his eyes, how dare he take out this kind of thing and joke about it?

Toothpaste in the biscuits?

He decided he wouldn't eat cookies again today.
