Chapter 27: A Powerful Enemy
Lehi's first move wasn't particularly fast, but with his strength, there weren't many people in the NCAA who could stop him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Once he activated, there were even fewer people who could stop him.
Full of power, the referee's whistle also sounded at the same time, 2+1.
In the midst of the loud noise, Lehi steadily hit the penalty.
Kennedy Winston is also a very well-rounded striker, and he has been cleaned up by Lehi in defense, so he naturally wants to get it back in attack.
He received the ball as a big stride and wanted to pass Lehi directly, but Lehi's defensive footsteps were very solid, and he was still standing firmly in front of him, and he followed another cross-step, I have to say that his singles level was still some, but Lehi had defended Anthony for a long time, and he was really comfortable with his offensive skills.
Seeing that Lehi never lost his position, Kennedy Winston lost patience and pulled up and shot.
When he jumped into the air and was about to make a shot, he found that Lehi had completely blocked his shooting line, and he leaned back as much as he could, barely making a shot.
Three no-sticks, Varik jumped high to get the rebound.
This time Syracuse was not in a hurry, McNamara dribbled the ball across the half court and passed the ball to Lehi, who received the ball and hoisted it to Warrick, who squeezed a step inside and hit a half-volley.
The University of Alabama is not bad on the outside, but the inside is very average, and under the dispatch of Lehi, the team started into the right rhythm.
After Kennedy Winston was suppressed by Lehi, the two University of Alabama guards strengthened their offensive firepower, while Syracuse University combined inside and outside, calmly and moderately, showing the demeanor of a strong man.
81:71, Syracuse University made it to the elite quarterfinals for the second year in a row.
Their opponent also came out, and it was their opponent who had lost in the past two years, the University of Connecticut.
Li Hai was not very familiar with the NCAA before his rebirth, and only when Anthony entered the NBA with a flower show after winning the championship, and Emeka Okafor and Ben Gordon entered the NBA with a list and a flower show respectively after winning the championship, and this kind of core players entered the NBA with a high draft after winning the championship.
In other words, their next opponent is the team that should have won the championship this year.
When the reporter interviewed Li Hai after the game, he still firmly expressed his confidence in winning the championship, and in competitive sports, the desire to win must be clearly expressed.
Of course, UConn's Lehi is also familiar with "Hairless Man" Charlie Villanueva, and the inside line he and Okafor form is a headache in terms of height and strength.
The two teams are familiar with each other, but the atmosphere is much more tense than when they met in the regular season.
For the University of Connecticut, Coach Boihan thought of a lot of ways, but in the end he still felt that McNamara and Lehi had to play the firepower on the outside, and Varik's words must be very difficult.
Just like the previous times, Varik, who was better at jumping than 90% of the players, lost to Okafor.
Ben Gordon advanced with the ball, and without hesitation, he ate McNamara alone, two-point hit, height and strength, Ben Gordon was a lot stronger, McNamara really didn't ****** to attack Syracuse, the ball went to Lehi's hands as usual, and he was about to eat the opposite Devin Brown to pull back the score, and the pinch immediately rushed over,
Lehi split the ball, McNamara missed a three-pointer, and the rebound was taken by Okafor.
Lehi quickly retreated, did not let the opponent play the fast attack, UConn was not anxious, after a few passes, passed the ball to Okafor, facing Craig Firth, who was slightly taller than him, Okafor squeezed in to the basket, and Varik was just about to go over to attack, Okafor had already smashed the ball into the basket.
There is a comparison to know that Syracuse University can bully each other's inside line when facing most opponents, but when they meet the University of Connecticut, their inside line will be bullied.
It's a very depressing opening, and if it continues like this, it will be the same defeat as before.
Continuing to attack, Lehi forced Bo to make a free throw and scored the first point from Syracuse.
But then, UConn was back in action and Ben Gordon hit a three-pointer.
Coach Boihan called a timeout so soon the first time, and as with what was expected to happen, they were completely unable to defend against the opposition's attack.
In this case, even if Lehi is put in the No. 4 position, the team's speed effect will not be great, Villanueva is 2.11 meters, Okafor is 2.08 meters, and Varik is only 2.06 meters, Lehi is 2 meters, and his weight is not comparable to the other party, which will only make Lehi lose himself in the inner line.
Then you can only try to limit Ben Gordon, but Ben Gordon is now playing the No. 1 position, and Lehi must change to a small forward to increase the height when he goes to defend the No. 1 position, if Lehi can't limit Ben Gordon, the substitution now is likely to be taken away by a wave.
"Coach, I can do it." Lehi's eyes were steadfast.
In addition to attacking, he must also do something on defense, and it is not his character to sit idly by.
Lehi was determined to be here last year, and when he encountered such a strong team, he could only fight, "Okay, Demetris Nichols, you go up and play the No. 3 position, and McNamara goes to the No. 2 position." ”
McNamara, despite his poor defense, can't go down either, and the team needs his three-point shot.
"Syracuse University was forced to make adjustments, they increased the height of the field, the ball was sent to Lehi's hands, Lehi directly advanced with the ball, and at this time let the strikers control the ball for half the court?"
The commentator is also a little strange, McNamara's weaknesses are well known, and Syracuse may change to possess the ball at the critical moment of the game, but it is just the beginning, and it feels like Syracuse University is in a bit of a hurry.
Lehi was the playmaker for Syracuse University, and Devin Brown stood near the three-point line.
"Nichols is a great player in high school, Syracuse might use his height to make a fuss, Lehi is still very steady on the ball, looking at his rhythm should not be going to break through, who will he pass to, he ...... Shot, it's three points. ”
Lehi faced the defender with a three-pointer, he rarely attacked like this, Devin Brown did not react at all, and subconsciously turned his head to see the ball go in.
"It's okay, it's a balloon."
Ben Gordon started to push forward with the ball, and they were better overall than Syracuse University, and as long as they played at their regular pace, they would definitely be able to win.
But the defender in front of him became Lehi, who was 9 centimeters taller than him.
Ben-Gordon sneered, big defense small, didn't this give him a breakthrough, he dribbled in front of Lehi, and suddenly it was a cross-step acceleration, and the cat rushed inside.
His strength is also very good, and he also threw one hand on Lehi to protect him, and he made a shooting motion with a pop.
Syllable!
