Chapter 19: Final Four
Oklahoma State University, their most famous player is Tony Allen, with strong technical all-round defensive ability but average scoring ability, which is also the epitome of Oklahoma State University. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the start of the game, both sides were inefficient in attack.
Unlike Oklahoma State, though, Syracuse has players like Anthony and Lehi who can create scoring opportunities on their own.
When Lehi didn't play, the opponent's defense could still limit Anthony, but when it was Lehi's turn to play and Syracuse University accelerated, their attack opportunities came out.
After taking the lead in this game, the situation was more obvious, Oklahoma State University did not have the ability to score consistently, and 71:56, Syracuse University once again won steadily.
After entering the round of 16, the Chinese media, who did not pay much attention to the NCAA, suddenly discovered that there was a Chinese student on the Syracuse University Orange People's team, although he was only the sixth member of the team, but the team's results were good, and the sporadic Chinese faces who appeared in the NCAA before did not enter the finals.
After a little investigation, Li Hai also showed his face in the domestic high school league and behaved very strongly, and there were domestic professional clubs interested in him at that time, but he didn't expect him to be very popular in American schools.
As Yao Ming logged in to the NBA as the champion and gradually got better, the domestic enthusiasm for basketball became more and more high.
In the face of media reporters, Li Hai has the experience of his previous life, and he is not scared at all.
He has played basketball for a short time in his life, and basically people in the circle don't know much about him, in order to make an impression, he has no twists at all in answering questions, which can be said to be relatively high-profile.
"I love basketball, and I applied to Syracuse University to improve my basketball skills, and after continuous hard work, I stood on the battlefield of the NCAA."
"I have very good people and I have the quality to help the team, and this year's champion is undoubtedly Syracuse University, so you can wait and see."
The reporter who came to interview was also shocked, this young man is full of confidence, but it is very rare, if Syracuse University can really win the NCAA championship, it is worth a good report.
Being interviewed was a small episode, and the March 28 opponent Auburn University was the main event.
After winning two games in the finals, Syracuse University's characteristics were shown, and what worried Coach Boihan was that Anthony was not as hot as he was in the regular season after being more closely marked, but fortunately there was a surprise with Lehi.
At the beginning, Bai Yihan was a little worried when Lehi wanted to aggravate the scene, but now he is very happy with this change, Lehi can make the team more stable, but if it breaks out, the team has the opportunity to go further.
Syracuse University didn't make it to the finals last year, and now it's Sweet Sixteen, so it's okay to explode to your heart's content.
In terms of book strength, Syracuse University is stronger than the other party, but in terms of outside attack power alone, Auburn University is not weak.
At the beginning of the game, Marquis Daniels, the leader of Auburn University, broke out, and he performed well in the first two games, and he was even more hot in this game, scoring 6 points in a row, which caught the Orange People a little off guard.
In order to stabilize the situation, Anthony desperately rushed inside, but he didn't let the other party pull the score away, but Syracuse University was constantly pressed and beaten, and he felt a little out of breath.
Even though Coach Bai Yihan had been very calm, he couldn't help but call out to Lehi, "It's no problem for you to keep an eye on Marquis Daniels for a while." ”
At this stage, everyone wants to go further, and Coach Boihan is a little more nervous than before.
That's right, in the face of Orb University, Syracuse University has a height advantage, and Anthony's shooting has some problems, Bai Yihan simply pushed Anthony to the No. 4 position, which was also a tactic that appeared in training, but because of Lehi's existence, it rarely appeared in official games.
Now that there is a single arrow or something like a single arrow at Auburn University, it should be the performance of Lehi, who is the most desperate defender on the team.
Lehi is the most experienced against single arrows, which is a kraft candy-like defense, constantly consuming the opponent.
Daniels was still hot, but to get rid of Lehi's defense, he had to spend at least several times as much energy, and as time went by, his accuracy began to drop.
In the second half, Syracuse University tied the score in less than five minutes, and after the oppressive feeling disappeared, Anthony hit a few good shots in a row to immediately turn the situation on the court.
Daniels is in his last semester of college, he is already on the older side, and if he wants to enter the NBA, he must have a more impressive performance, and he doesn't want to lose the game like this.
He was exhausted in the face of Lehi's defense, but Lehi saw the fighting spirit in the opponent's eyes, and Lehi's blood was also boiling, fighting, fighting.
He was completely immersed in the defense, keeping his eyes on Daniels, with or without the ball until the referee's final whistle blew.
At this time, after Li Hai realized it, he stayed on the court until the last minute in this game.
At 79:75, Syracuse University went to the next level and became a member of the elite quarterfinals.
In this game, Coach Boihan finally fully affirmed the role of Li Hai, whether it is offensive or defensive, he is a player to rely on, and he can hold up the big scene, I have to say, I really underestimated him before.
Coach Boihan didn't have much time to be happy, the next game is on the 30th, and he has to prepare so that he doesn't even have time to sleep.
The opponent is Oklahoma State University, and Syracuse University is a dark horse this year, and Oklahoma State University is the same.
There were no star players on the other side, and the typical team team, they fought together as a whole in the game like other team teams, and this style of play made them to the quarterfinals, but this set did not work in front of Syracuse University.
At this time, Anthony finally adjusted, relying on his personal ability to tear apart the opponent's extraordinarily active defense, at this time, there was no need for a sixth man like Lehi to do more, 63:47, Anthony cut down a third of the team's points.
Syracuse University made it to the final four, the NCAA's biggest stage.
In a few days, the whole of America will be staring at them and cheering for them, and even star players like Anthony on the team will be very excited, let alone Lehi, an international student.
In the past few days of training, everyone is enthusiastic.
"Champion, champion, we're going to get the championship."
