I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 43 Ace vs Ace

Being temporarily behind in the start, the players of Syracuse University did not panic. In this tournament, this is commonplace, which time it is not the second half or the last minute to overtake the score and win the victory.

Hart dribbled the ball to the outside of the three-point line. Seeing that his teammates had no chance to run out, he made a tactical gesture and called his teammates to step forward and cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll was ready, Hart quickly started and rushed in. This time he didn't rush to the basket and came near the free throw line. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Warrick who finished the pick-and-roll and failed to cut inside the basket. He was caught by the opponent's Dinal tightly entangled.

Seeing this situation, Hart didn't wait too long. After changing the direction in front of his body and swaying Novak, who was changing defenses, Hart made an emergency stop and hit a jumper.

7: 4!

On the sidelines, Syracuse University head coach Jim Boheim breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the goal, and then clapped his hands while shouting loudly toward the field: "Concentrate! Concentrate! Watch your own people , Keep a good defensive formation!"

This stadium is not very friendly to the head coaches of both sides. Because there are too many spectators, the volume is several times higher than usual. The coach needs to work harder than usual when shouting on the sidelines.

In Marquette University's offense, Wade dribbled through, attracted the defense and quickly distributed the ball.

Li Xuan in the bottom corner pretended to run towards the basket, but in fact ran back and came outside the three-point line again.

Anthony didn't think too much about it. When he saw Li Xuan cut to the basket, he ran straight towards the basket. When he saw the basketball flying past him, he knew he was being tricked. Don't turn around and go back to defense, just wait for the rebound.

Li Xuan, who was outside the three-point line, received the basketball. Seeing that there were no players from Syracuse University to defend, he adjusted and took off to shoot.

This kind of open three-pointer Li Xuan usually tries to shoot thousands of times during training, and basically never misses.

Swish!Hollow into the net!

10: 4!

"Li Xuan's back run is very good, he created an open shot opportunity, beautiful, he seized the opportunity and hit a three-pointer!" In the CCTV commentary hall, Director Xu was explaining the game impassionedly.

"The touch is very soft, and the shooting posture is also very standard. It can be seen that hard work has been done." Director Sun said with a smile.

"Indeed, it is very important to practice basic skills well. Dayao's foothold in the NBA does not depend on his height, but on his solid basic skills." Director Xu nodded in response.

On the court, after being teased by Li Xuan, Anthony was not very convinced, and came to the right side near the 45° angle of the three-point line and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Hart still had good eyesight, and when he saw that the team boss wanted the ball for singles, he immediately passed the ball.

Anthony received the ball and signaled his teammates to pull away.

After his teammates opened up the space, Anthony once again made a signature three-threat move, and then suddenly raised his hand to make a shooting posture.

"Fake action! Fortunately, I have seen Melon's offensive collection in my previous life, and I know his technical characteristics, so I didn't act rashly."

Li Xuan didn't respond when he saw this, waiting for Anthony's next move.

Seeing that Li Xuan didn't hesitate, Anthony followed up with a tentative step and raised his hand again, which was still a fake move!

Seeing that there was no effect after this trial, Anthony no longer made any trials, and quickly started to rush towards the penalty area.

Seeing this, Li Xuan quickly slid sideways, intercepted Anthony's sudden route, and was ready for a physical confrontation.

Anthony also didn't admit any cowardice, and directly leaned on Li Xuan to kill inside.

After coming to the penalty area, Anthony stopped immediately, then took a step back and made a mid-range jumper.

Li Xuan also stopped quickly, and immediately rushed to Anthony, straightening his arm to interfere with the shot.

Although Anthony is rebellious, he is still very concerned about Li Xuan's height and wingspan. In order to prevent Li Xuan from interfering with his shooting, he specially increased the shooting arc.

After the basketball bounced off the board, it stumbled and rolled into the net.

10: 6!

"I can see it. In this game, Anthony and Lee have started to compete, and the ace vs. ace scene will be staged in advance." Barkley said with a laugh.

"Charles, I don't agree with your point of view. Anthony and Lee are on the same page. What about Wade? Should he intervene?" Kenny Smith joked.

"Wade won't have a chance until Lee and Anthony finish the contest, maybe he can lie down and win." Barkley responded.

On the sidelines, the head coaches of both sides shouted at the players on the field, emphasizing the improvement of defensive strength.

In the next few rounds, the two sides improved their defense according to the coach's request.

Run, fight, and fight without hesitation!
They have already reached the finals, and it can be said that they are only one step away from their dreams.

No one is willing to be a loser at this time and leave regrets.

The players would rather spill sweat and blood on this field than let tears flow on the field after the game!
This may be youth!

Syracuse University's offense is still fast on the court. Point guard Hart made a long pass just after halftime, ready to throw the ball to the team boss Anthony.

Looking at the trajectory of the basketball in the air, Anthony put his left hand against Li Xuan and prepared to catch the ball with his right hand.

Just when Anthony was about to catch the ball, a figure suddenly stopped in front of him.

"Fake!"

Anthony had a bad feeling and subconsciously swears.

Sure enough, Li Xuan jumped out from behind him, stretched out his long arms, and grabbed the ball into his arms before Anthony.

For him, this kind of high and floating pass is stealing for himself.

Offensive and defensive conversion!

Li Xuan grabbed the basketball, passed the ball out immediately, and then sprinted forward.

Anthony glanced at it, and simply gave up chasing back. Instead of doing such useless work, it is better to save some energy and invest in the attack.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Anthony did not choose to sit on his hips and watch his teammates chase after him. Instead, he had an idea and squatted down to tie his shoelaces.

On the court, Wade counterattacked with a dribble, and Li Xuan and Dinard followed up on both sides.

The only player on Syracuse University's side that retreated was point guard Jason Hart, and the others failed to retreat.

Marquette University got a 3-on-1 chance in the frontcourt.

Wade rushed into the penalty area regardless of his own body, leaning on Hart to throw the ball into the air.

After Hart was blocked, he could only watch the opponent's No. 13 player soar into the air, grab the basketball in the air, and smash and dunk vigorously.

The fans at the scene erupted with deafening cheers and shouts, cheering for this wonderful alley-oop cooperation!

The Marquette players didn't have time to enjoy the cheers of the fans, and immediately retreated quickly, because after they scored, Syracuse University had already grabbed the baseline ball.

In the last round, Anthony, who was not actively retreating, became an advantage.

After receiving the basketball, he was still near the middle circle, accelerated forward, pulled up directly outside the three-point line, and made an emergency stop for a three-point shot.

"Shh!"

The basketball hit the net hollow, and deafening cheers and shouts sounded again in the arena.

The offensive and defensive rhythm of the two sides is very fast, and the fans watching the game have a hunch that today will be a very exciting game!
