Basketball Dragon

Chapter 28

Ben Gordon's jump shot was extremely fast, without any warning, but the moment the ball was released, a crisp sound rang in his ears.

Ben Gordon's speed is fast, and Li Hai is not slow. During the opponent's breakthrough process, Li Hai kept covering the opponent with his long arms. Ben Gordon followed the rhythm of dealing with others, and immediately suffered a knot. Big, sturdy hat.

The commentator exclaimed: "Brutally blocking shots, Li Hai can even defend the player in position 1. This is the fourth position he has defended in the game."

"Come on, we can defend against their attack." Li Hai encouraged his teammates loudly.

Ben Gordon was still a little dissatisfied, but after receiving the ball, he didn't shake off Li Hai a few times, so he could only pass the ball inside.

Syracuse University is now a compact zone defense. As soon as UConn received the ball inside, they immediately contracted, and Okafor had to pass the ball out again.

Syracuse University defended very hard and did not give the opponent a chance to shoot from the outside. Just when the time was running out, Villanueva went to the outside and made a long-distance two-pointer.

The 2 meter man can still shoot from the outside, which is really troublesome.

A strong enemy cannot be defeated with a few strokes, but only with constant efforts can opportunities arise.

"It's okay, it's only a little bit short, we can do better next time."

Li Hai shouted loudly that he will do his best now, no matter which aspect it is.

The ball circled around the outside, Li Hai finally seized the opportunity to rush inside, Okafor helped defend and completely blocked Li Hai's advancing route.

With a flick of his wrist, Li Hai stuffed the ball from Okafor's waist.

Warrick caught the ball and shot, but was interfered by Villanueva again. The ball bounced off the edge of the basket. Nichols, who had just been replaced, rushed in and clicked the ball. Warrick reacted quickly and took the ball. Then, it was stuffed to Li Hai who was rushing over with all his strength, Li Hai caught the ball and tossed it lightly, and threw the ball into the basket.

"Well done, we were able to win."

It was a hard shot, but it translated into points, which is good.

Driven by Li Hai, the players of Syracuse University are just one word, spell.

The original eight-man rotation was a bit exhausted physically, so coach Boyehan increased it to ten-man rotation according to the previous plan. If he couldn't prevent the foul, he must not let the opponent score easily.

At the end of the half, the score was 39:44, and they were 5 points behind, not a big gap.

However, this is already the result of all efforts. Li Hai only rested for 1 minute in the half, and immediately went up again when he realized that the situation was wrong. Also very huge.

In front of others, he seemed very relaxed, "Actually, we were still affected by the previous losses. In fact, we can do better. Brothers, if we win, we will be the final four. I can't wait."

At the University of Connecticut, the famous coach Jim Calhoun is encouraging his disciples, "They are just bluffing, just like before, we can definitely win the game if we play our strength normally."

Syracuse University's ability to get here this year was completely out of their surprise, but fortunately they withstood each other's ferocity. In the second half, Syracuse University should not be able to work so hard.

At the beginning of the second half, Li Hai was still in control of the ball. When he came near the three-point line, he suddenly accelerated in a disguised form. The University of Connecticut's help defense immediately rushed over. Li Hai made a fake move and tricked Okafor into a foul. .

But being crushed by Okafor, Li Hai was almost crushed to the ground.

"Li Hai played very hard today, but with this style of play, I'm afraid he won't be able to last till the end."

When Li Hai made a free throw, the commentator began to discuss again. The record and technical characteristics of the two sides, the commentator also vaguely felt that Syracuse University would lose.

When it was UConn's turn to attack, Craig Firth fouled Okafor for the fourth time. Syracuse had to replace center Jeremy McNeill, who He has also committed three fouls.

Fortunately, Okafor's free throws were not so accurate, and he only made one of the two free throws.

Syracuse University attacked, and Li Hai hit the defender again and scored two points.

In this way, Syracuse University did not fight conservatively at the beginning of the second half, and the score was a little closer.

Their bench was also excited, "It's about to tie, it's about to tie."

McNamara made a three-point shot. He was in good or bad form before. He had made shots against defenders and missed open shots. This time, with Li Hai's timely pass, he got another chance to make a shot.

When, no hit.

Okafor was about to accept the rebound when a figure flew over from behind.

Li Hai tapped the basketball with his fingertips before Okafor, and filled in the ball.

Then the two bumped into each other suddenly, and Li Hai was bounced out as if hitting a wall, and accidentally stepped on Villanueva's instep when he landed.

With a sudden twist of his right foot, Li Hai immediately felt the pain in his ankle was almost numb.

"Overtake it, overtake it." Syracuse University's bench shouted happily.

Li Hai limped and failed to keep up with Ben Gordon, and McNamara directly pulled someone for a foul.

Coach Boyihan immediately called for a timeout. He seemed very calm when the team fell behind just now, but seeing Li Hai baring his teeth, he was also worried.

If Li Hai was injured at this time, Syracuse University would probably stop in the quarterfinals.

Li Hai took off his shoes and asked the school doctor to spray the medicine on his feet, "It's okay, just a sprain, it's okay."

Coach Boyihan looked serious, "Adelin, you go on the court."

He replaced Li Hai without hesitation, this kind of thing can't be risky.

Li Hai put on his shoes and signaled again that he was fine, he didn't want to give up here, he wanted to win.

As soon as Li Hai went down, the University of Connecticut immediately overtook the score again.

Li Hai jumped a few times in front of Coach Boyihan, "Coach, I really have no problem."

Coach Boyihan held his chin and applied to the technical table for a substitution after a few seconds.

On the court, McNeill fouled Okafor again. As soon as Okafor was about to get in position, Syracuse University could only foul.

"No. 25 Li Hai of Syracuse University was replaced on the field again. His foot seemed to be a false alarm. Li Hai dribbled the ball forward. It can be seen that his speed is still so fast. He is really fine."

Li Hai scored points again, and the scores of both sides were tied.

The game has entered a fierce stage, both sides come and go, UConn has always maintained the rhythm, Syracuse University has not been defeated, the two sides entered the last minute with a score of 82:82, the moment of life and death.
