Chapter 21 Champions and main players

McNamara made a mistake. In addition to his ball-handling skills, I am afraid that the bigger reason is his weak body.

Hinrich couldn't stop Li Hai's physical fitness, and neither could anyone else.

The lineup of the University of Kansas is said to be luxurious, but those who can keep up with Li Hai's speed do not have Li Hai's strength, and those who are strong can't keep up with Li Hai's speed.

The whole court pressed this tactic, and a player who could push the ball quickly broke through immediately.

If this player can pass the ball, this defensive tactic is meaningless. Li Hai also has an advantage in passing the ball, because he is tall in front of outside players.

When he squeezed past Hinrich and rushed to the frontcourt, the opponent immediately came up with two players to flank him. If he didn't flank him, he would get in every minute, and the University of Kansas's defense completely collapsed.

But as soon as he pinched, he passed the ball, and the University of Kansas' defense still jumped.

Anthony catches the ball and rushes in and then throws the ball. Warrick catches the ball and starts off with a dunk.

Everyone in Kansas was extremely depressed, and they were about to come back, but a substitute player, an unknown substitute player, turned the momentum back.

They now have only one last move left, which is to foul.

However, the NCAA didn't stop the watch until the last 2 minutes, and Li Hai's free throw was very good, and he didn't give the opponent any chance.

There was no final moment of life and death. After Li Hai came on the stage, Syracuse University firmly controlled the situation. 83:76, they were the champions.

For the first time since its inception, the Syracuse Oranges won the trophy.

The whole team is crazy, they created the history of the school, they stood on the highest podium of college players, at this moment, there is no regret.

Anthony won the NCAA Tournament MOP, smiling extravagantly.

He did it, he did it in his first semester of college, and it was the right choice not to go straight to the NBA.

Li Hai also did it, as he said in the interview, he wanted to help the team win the championship, and at the critical moment, he did not give in.

In the domestic sports newspaper, he was given a colorful picture.

Some reporters even asked him if he wanted to play for the country. The men's basketball team lost to Busan in the last Asian Games, and the replacement of the old and new national teams has completely begun.

But it's not Li Hai's turn to worry about this now. He appeared too suddenly. It can be said that neither the athletes nor the basketball association in China know anything about him.

The team had a few days off and it all seemed unreal after the wild celebrations.

Li Hai still trained as usual every day, although Xia Weiliang was as happy as if she had won the championship, Li Hai wanted to celebrate with Xia Weiliang alone, but finally came to the basketball court.

This championship belongs to Syracuse University and belongs to Anthony. He has to enter the NBA to be able to puff up his chest and be crazily happy with Xia Weiliang. It is precisely because he is not a 20-year-old young man at heart that he sometimes has a lot of worries.

Fucking life, he doesn't want to go through it again.

On the first day of the re-start of training, the young people in the team were still in a state of exhaustion after being excited, and all of them were listless. Coach Boyehan did not force them to train vigorously, because these young men were really tired a few days ago. Excellent.

And he himself has to finalize the freshmen who will enter in the second half of the year. Unfortunately, the application period has passed long ago when he won the championship. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to win some real high school stars.

"I heard that Cameron is going to participate in the draft. I'm a little upset. If he can stay, we can definitely win the NCAA championship again and make school history again." Gerry McNamara walked to Hakim Watson Beside Rick, the tone was slightly complaining.

Warwick is relatively quiet and usually gets closer to Anthony. At this time, he also explained: "Actually, Cameron is also very entangled. His good friend LeBron James decided not to go to college and directly participate in the draft. He doesn't want to fall behind. , that is also his opponent."

"The coach supported him. I think Cameron has the strength of the No. [-] pick."

"What about you, you don't have that plan, do you?" McNamara said, looking into Varrick's eyes.

Warrick smiled shyly: "My skills still need to be polished, and I don't plan to sign up for the draft yet."

"Then we will also enter March Madness next year. Even if Cameron goes to the NBA, the Orange people will not be defeated." Although McNamara was defeated by Hinrich in the finals, he won After winning the championship, his confidence also rose.

Anthony has left, and Duani, who finally won a championship in the fifth year, will also leave school. The current status of the team is that he and Warrick are the highest. McNamara felt he was just the right fit.

He came over to talk to Warrick, and he actually meant to say hello. They were teammates, but they were also representatives of the white and black brothers of the team.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Li Hai noticed that Anthony hadn't come over. He and some teammates who were about to graduate and look for jobs probably wouldn't come here in the future. The arena was a little deserted compared to before.

At the end of June, at Madison Square Garden in New York, the final champion of the 03 Platinum Generation was still James. Even if Anthony won the NCAA championship and MOP, it was just a third place.

It is conceivable that Anthony must be very unwilling. Li Hai and him are just teammates and ordinary friends. He still can't play with the black brothers in the team. He only sent a text message to wish Anthony's smooth entry into the NBA.

Among the special recruits finalized by the Orange Team, there will definitely not be any freshmen at Anthony's level, and to some surprise, there will be no one at McNamara's level either.

In that case, the team's new main lineup can only be done among a group of old people.

As for the choice among the elderly, the performance of the NCAA championship is the most direct reference.

However, in order to keep the team from being lazy in the summer, Coach Boyehan waited until the new players arrived before finalizing the new main lineup. Just like last year, he also pretended to select.

The first-year freshmen of the Orange team are all very tall, and most of them are over 2 meters tall.

But I have to say that they are basically rough guys, and there was no suspense about the main lineup from the beginning.

The vacant position at No. 2 was filled by Billy Aldrin, and Li Hai's buddy who came in for a year.

The No. 3 position was even more unsurprising. No one in the team could match Li Hai.

Gerry McNamara, Billy Edlin, Lehi, Hakeem Warrick, Craig Firth, these five are Syracuse University's new starting five.

Since McNamara is the offensive No. 1 position, Li Hai will be the real organizer of this team.
