Chapter 27 Strong Enemy
Li Hai's first step is not particularly fast, but with his strength, there are not many people who can stop him in the NCAA arena.

After he starts, there are even fewer people who can stop him.

With a powerful dunk, the referee's whistle sounded at the same time, 2+1.

Amidst the loud noise of interference, Li Hai steadily made a hit and added a penalty.

Kennedy Winston is also a very comprehensive striker. He was cleanly defeated by Li Hai in defense. He naturally hopes to find it in offense.

When he received the ball, he took a big stride and wanted to pass Li Hai directly, but Li Hai's defensive steps were very solid, and he was still standing firmly in front of him. Some, it's just that Li Hai had defended Anthony for a long time, and it was really easy to deal with his offensive skills.

Seeing that Li Hai has never lost his position, Kennedy Winston lost his patience and pulled up to shoot.

When he jumped in the air and was about to make a shot, he found that Li Hai had completely blocked his shooting line, so he leaned back as far as he could and forced the shot.

Three non-stick, Warrick jumped high to get the rebound.

This time Syracuse University was not in a rush. McNamara dribbled the ball across half court and passed the ball to Leahy. Leahy caught the ball and lobbed it to Warrick. .

The outside line of the University of Alabama is not bad, but the inside line is very average. Under Li Hai's scheduling, the team entered the correct rhythm at the beginning.

After Kennedy Winston was suppressed by Li Hai, the two guards of the University of Alabama strengthened their offensive firepower, while Syracuse University combined internal and external, calm and graceful, showing the demeanor of a strong man.

At 81:71, Syracuse made it to the Elite Eight for the second straight year.

Their opponent also came out, the opponent they had lost in the past two years, the University of Connecticut.

Li Hai was not very familiar with the NCAA before his rebirth. Only after Anthony won the championship and entered the NBA as the No. [-] pick, Emeka Okafor and Ben Gordon entered the NBA as the No. He has some impressions of players entering the NBA with high draft picks.

In other words, their next opponent is the team that should have won this year.

When the reporter interviewed Li Hai after the game, he still firmly expressed his confidence in winning the championship. In competitive sports, the desire to win must be clearly expressed.

Of course, Li Hai of the University of Connecticut is also familiar with the "hairless hero" Charlie Villanueva. The inside line formed by him and Okafor is very troublesome in terms of height and strength.

The two teams are fairly familiar with each other, but the atmosphere is much more tense than when they played against each other in the regular season.

For the University of Connecticut, coach Boyehan thought of many ways, and in the end he still felt that McNamara and Lehi had to use the firepower from the outside line. For Warrick, it must be very difficult.

Like the previous few times, Warrick, who jumped the ball better than [-]% of players, lost to Okafor.

Ben Gordon pushed forward with the ball and ate McNamara without hesitation. He made a two-pointer, height and strength. Ben Gordon is much stronger. McNamara really can't do it**** **At Syracuse University to attack, the ball was transferred to Li Hai's hands as usual, and he was about to take back the score against the opponent's Devin Brown, but the pincer rushed over immediately,

Li Hai scored the ball, but McNamara missed a three-pointer, and the rebound was taken by Okafor.

Li Hai retreated quickly and did not allow the opponent to play the fast break. The University of Connecticut was not anxious. After a few passes, the ball was passed to Okafor. Facing Craig Firth, who was slightly taller than him, Okafor Cafu squeezed inside and reached the basket. Just as Warrick was about to go over and attack, Okafor smashed the ball into the basket.

Only through comparison can we know that Syracuse University can bully the opponent's inside line when facing most opponents, but when it comes to the University of Connecticut, their inside line will be bullied.

It's a very depressing start, if it continues like this, it will be the same defeat as before.

Continuing to attack, Li Hai forcibly attacked and got a free throw, scoring Syracuse University's first score.

But then, the University of Connecticut cooperated internally and externally, and Ben Gordon hit a three-pointer.

For the first time, Coach Boyhan called a timeout so quickly. As bad as expected, they were completely unable to prevent the opponent's offense.

In such a situation, even if Li Hai is placed in the 4th position, the speed-up effect of the team will not be great. Villanueva is 2 meters, Okafor is 11 meters, while Warrick is only 2 meters, and Li Hai is 08 meters. The weight is also inferior to the opponent, which will only make Li Hai also lost in the inside.

Then we can only try to limit Ben Gordon, but Ben Gordon is now playing the No. 1 position. To defend the No. 1 position, Li Hai must replace a small forward to increase his height. If Li Hai cannot restrain Ben Gordon, Substitution now is likely to be taken away by a wave.

"Coach, I might do it." Li Hai's eyes were firm.

In addition to offense, he must also do something defensively. It is not his character to sit still.

Li Hai is firm here. I saw Boyehan last year. When I met such a strong team, I could only give it a go. Marat goes to number 3."

Although McNamara's defense is poor, he can't go down. The team needs his three-pointers.

"Syracuse University was forced to make adjustments. They increased the height of the field. The ball was served to Li Hai, and Li Hai directly drove the ball forward. Did the striker control the ball at this time?"

The commentator was also a little strange. McNamara's weakness is well known. At the critical moment of the game, Syracuse University may substitute players to control the ball, but it has just begun, and it feels that Syracuse University is a little anxious.

Lehi was Syracuse's playmaker, and Devin Brown stood near the three-point line.

"Nickels was also a very good player in high school. Syracuse University may use his height to make some fuss. Li Hai is still very stable in handling the ball. It depends on whether he intends to break through his rhythm. Who will he pass to?" Well, he... made a shot, and it was a three-pointer."

Li Hai faced the defender with a three-pointer. He rarely attacked like this. Devin Brown didn't react at all. He subconsciously turned his head and saw the ball go in.

"It's okay, it's a ball."

Ben Gordon started to advance with the ball. Their overall strength is stronger than that of Syracuse University. As long as they play normally according to their rhythm, they will definitely win.

But the defender in front of him turned into Li Hai, who was 9 centimeters taller than him.

Ben Gordon sneered, big defense small, isn't this for him to break through, he dribbled the ball in front of Li Hai, and suddenly accelerated with a cross step, and rushed in with his back bent.

His strength is also very good, he even threw one hand on Li Hai's body for protection, and made a shooting action with a swipe.

Snapped!
