With five days off until the Final Four, Lehi can take advantage of these days to recover his sprained ankle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Fortunately, as he judged, it didn't hurt the bones.

These days, he will only do shooting practice alone.

"Alright, alright, if you get hurt again, you won't be able to play." Xia Weiliang puffed out his cheeks under the basket, supervising Lehi, a training maniac.

"I'm not a fragile craft, so I'm not so easily injured." Lehi retorted, but stopped practicing.

He has a time limit for these few days of practice, and he can't put too much burden on his ankles.

He packed his things and walked to Xia Weiliang's side, "After the semifinals, no matter what the team's final results are, I will sign up for the NBA draft." ”

Xia Weiliang lowered her head, feeling a little lonely, if Li Hai went to play in the professional league, she would be the only one left in school, and after a few seconds, she raised her head with a smile on her face, "Come on." ”

UConn is bullish, but Syracuse University's semifinal opponent, Duke University, is also very good.

Chris Dujon at No. 1, Daniel Ewing at No. 2, JJ Redick at No. 3, Rohr Deng at No. 4, Sheldon Williams at No. 5, and Shafrick Randolph on the bench.

A full set of main players plus substitutes, a full NBA lineup, the offensive power is terrifying, and the head coach is the famous old K Mike Shashewski.

Their only weakness is probably because of the offensive system, and the height of Duke's starting lineup can only be considered average.

The two strongest offensive strengths of Duke University are still JJ Reddick and Roel Deng, Lehi will take on heavier defensive tasks on the front line, and the opponent's lineup, Syracuse University can also put Warrick in the center position and let Lehi go to the opposite Rohr Deng, but because of Lehi's ankle problem, Coach Boihan does not plan to take risks.

The NCAA semifinals were held as scheduled, and from the beginning, Lehi felt Duke's excellent overall defense, but his physical advantage against JJ Redick was still relatively obvious.

He took the ball and leaned on his back against JJ Redick to arch inside, and as soon as the opposing assistant defender came over, he passed it, and Adelin scored the first point of Syracuse University with a long two-pointer.

When it was Duke University's turn to attack, Chris Dujon gave the ball to Rohr Deng steadily, although Rohr Deng was in the power forward position, but he had small forward skills, receiving the ball and turning around was an extremely beautiful breakthrough, and then sending Varik into the air, Craig Firth came to help defend, he sent the ball to the basket, and Sheldon Williams completed the dunk.

As for Syracuse University's offense, Lehi leaned on JJ Reddick with his back to get the ball, even though Duke University's overall defense was strong, but in this position, Lehi always had an advantage.

Turning around and jumping, Lehi also scored two points steadily.

JJ Reddick was not disappointed, and immediately ran quickly, and Duke University's baseline quickly served and advanced, and he planned to play Syracuse University's unstable foothold.

It's just that Lehi defended quickly and didn't give the opponent a chance to play a fast attack.

When Sheldon Williams ran near the three-point line, JJ Redick suddenly ran back, Lehi was already a step slow to keep up, and was stopped by Sheldon Williams, and JJ Redick pulled up to make a three-point shot.

Not to be outdone, Lee Hai just passed the ball to McNamara, who bypassed Lehi and made the same block, Lehi stopped Chris Duhon, and McNamara hit a three-pointer.

At the start of the match, both sides were in good shape, indicating that it would be another battle.

The two sides went back and forth, almost in full bloom, and the change of situation came when Lehi was at the end of the break, and without his organization, Syracuse University's offense suddenly stalled, while Duke University seized the opportunity and scored six points in a row to open the score.

When Lehi played again, Syracuse University had already been affected by the score deficit and the shooting percentage began to decline.

The strength of Duke's defense was also reflected, with McNamara and Varick both attacking points being more uncomfortable, and Lehi becoming the only point of strength for Syracuse University.

He hit a two-point shot against JJ Redick and then blocked the opposition's run, but Chris Dujon completed the shot.

Lehi then followed Redick in a continuous run, and he felt some swelling pain in his ankle.

However, Duke completed the offense on the inside, making his desperate defense useless.

Duke is more difficult to defend than UConn, and you never know which of their players will pull off the final blow.

At the end of the first half, Syracuse University was trailing by 7 points, and the opponent gave the impression that the point difference was visible but difficult to catch, and Duke University was too stable on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and mistakes were hard to see.

"Speed up, disrupt the other party's arrangement, and we consume too much to fight with them." Lehi offered his own advice.

After entering March Madness, Lehi scored more and more key points, and his role in the team became more and more important, and he was actually already the leader of the Orange People.

The word speed is also what Coach Bo Yihan thinks in his heart, and their internal loss is not a problem of height, but a problem of strength, so they should reduce the height and give it a go.

In the second half, Coach Boihan did not start Craig Firth, who had already committed three fouls, and directly pushed Varik to the center position, with Lehi facing Rohr Deng.

Varik couldn't have stopped Rohr Deng, if Lehi could do it, they would definitely make it, and although JJ Redick was great, he was a pitcher after all, and it wouldn't be too much trouble to let Demetris Nichols, who has a height advantage, pestering him.

To be honest, the opponent's speed is not slow, it mainly depends on the situation of Li Hai against Luo Er Deng, if it is not good, the only advantage point is also lost, and the game is taken away by a wave.

These worries were not shown on Coach Boihan's face, and his expression was calm, "Let's play, boys, play in the style of our orange people." ”

Seeing that Syracuse University had changed its starters, Coach K didn't think there would be any problems.

Sheldon Williams is stronger than Varik, while Rohr Deng is about 6 centimeters taller than Lehi.

McNamara dribbled past half court, Lehi came to the high post to get the ball, and Rohr Deng followed without hesitation, his defensive area was large, and he would have no problem following the three-point line, and it would be enough to have Sheldon Williams inside.

Luol Deng is a very well-rounded player, both offensive and defensive, and his body is also very strong, but he still underestimated Lehi's speed, received the ball and turned to try to step, Lehi rushed over as soon as he was short.

Sheldon Williams pounced, and the ball in his hand was already thrown in the direction of the basket.
