The winners of both sides will play against the Kentucky Wildcats here two days later. Decide on this year's NCAA champion.

Syracuse University's number one star is their field captain John Wallace. John, who is 1974 meters tall and weighs [-] kilograms, can play multiple positions on the field. He was born in [-] and is now a senior. This will be his last NCAA, and he doesn't want to leave regrets.

For the Bruins, Paul Pierce's suspension is over, and he can't wait to get ready to play this game. Pierce hopes to apologize to his teammates with his performance in the game, because his lack of composure almost prevented the team from advancing to the quarterfinals.

"Guys, I believe you all know the strength of the opponent, so I don't want you to be distracted in the next game and divert your attention from the cameras and cheerleaders on the sidelines to the game. You will definitely bring surprises to everyone, right? Liu, you have to take more shots in this game. Their point guard Smith is only 1.7 meters tall. As long as he is on the court, there will definitely be misplacements. This is our opportunity. Fight for it. Blast him, we have to show what we usually train in this game, and they can't stop us." Head coach George Krent encouraged and arranged for the Bruins players before the game.

Liu Han didn't feel too nervous in this game. He showed a kind of adaptation to competitive sports in last year's game. Under the watchful eyes of [-] spectators, most of the young players will definitely feel uncomfortable , but Liu Han did not feel that his childhood life allowed him to face all problems calmly in most situations.

At the start of the game, Syracuse's center forward jumped the ball and won. The Bruins' lineup today is playing small ball tactics, so the starting center is Thomson, who is [-] meters tall. His jumping is not outstanding.

Syracuse's first offense was successful. Their top star John Wallace successfully beat Pierce after receiving a pass from point guard Smith and caused a foul. The young Pierce still lacks experience in the game. Syracuse 3 to 0 lead.

The Bruins served from the bottom line, and Liu Han quickly advanced to the frontcourt after receiving the ball. Facing the defense of Smith, who is 1.7 meters tall, Liu Han made a three-pointer without any hesitation. Syracuse faced the Bruins before the game The team conducted research, but in the end they let Smith defend Liu Han, because Syracuse's offensive organization mainly relies on Smith, but Smith, who is not tall enough, is misplaced no matter where the Bruins are defending.The Bruins tied the score, 3-3.

Syracuse was attacking, John Wallace mentioned to go up the line to cover for point guard Smith, the Bruins switched defense, Liu Han single-handedly defended the opponent's John Wallace, Smith hit the ground and passed the ball to John Wallace at the top of the arc , Liu Han did not choose to defend Wallace closely. Before the game, the head coach George studied all the players of the opponent. He explained the characteristics of Syracuse players to the players of the Bruins, so Liu Han knew that John Wallace The shooting is actually not very good.

John Wallace saw his opponent, a thin-looking Eastern player, put himself two steps away, so he decided to try his hand at the beginning of the game. Fortunately, the basketball bounced into the basket after hitting the front of the basket. Net nest, 5 to 3.

The Bruins continued to attack, Liu Han still dribbled the ball quickly to the frontcourt and directly ignored the opponent's point guard's defense and hit a three-pointer. This ball made Syracuse's point guard Smith feel helpless, facing Liu Han's unreasonable Three points, Smith has no way, 5 to 6.

At the beginning of the game, both teams' offenses were successful, but it seemed that the Bruins had the upper hand. Syracuse's offense was very reluctant, while the Bruins' offense was less than ten seconds each time. it's over.

Syracuse's third offense failed. Liu Han strengthened his defense against the opponent's point guard Smith. His physical condition and physical strength are better than Smith's, and his defensive experience is relatively sufficient, so he lacks Syracuse, organized by Smith, beat the Bruins inside, but Thomson's defense played a role, and the ball missed under the interference.Paul Pierce grabs the rebound.

After seeing Paul Pierce grabbing the rebound, Liu Han turned around and ran to the frontcourt. Pierce made a pass and launched an attack. After receiving the ball, Liu Han made a three-step layup and scored the ball. Only the point guard was able to return to defense in Syracuse. Smith and Liu Han can basically ignore the opponent's defense.After this attack of less than five seconds, the Bruins took the lead in less than 2 minutes of the opening, 5 to 8.

The game continues. Syracuse has no good way to face the opponent's shrinking defense. The Bruins have thoroughly implemented the defensive tactics arranged today. Everyone defends the outside line by preventing penetration and not preventing shots. If you can shoot dead, I will admit it. If you fail to make the vote, you can only blame yourself for not living up to expectations.

Less than 5 minutes into the game, Syracuse's head coach Jim Boham had to call a timeout, because the Bruins almost beat Syracuse to nothing. In less than 5 minutes, the Bruins scored 19 points. , while Syracuse only scored 8 points.

After the timeout, Syracuse had to replace their main point guard, Smith. This point is the biggest loophole in the defense. Almost every player of the Bruins can do whatever they want at this point.

The game continued. After Smith left the court, Syracuse's offense was mainly concentrated on John Wallace. John Wallace relied on his strong body to repeatedly attack the inside of the Bruins. The Bruins did not confront their opponents head-on. It is still [-] points ahead of the opponent, and there is no need to strengthen the defense too much, as long as the success rate is guaranteed in the offense.

Syracuse, which has been replaced by defensive players of sufficient height, still has no good way to face the Bruins' quicksilver offense. During the offense, they can only rely on the personal performance of the stars to catch up with the score.

In this game, the Bruins fully demonstrated the results they achieved in the training before the start of the season. After training in the training camp last summer, Liu Han was stronger than these ordinary college players. In addition, now that he has more game experience, his observation of the situation on the court and his control of the team's rhythm are even better. Many young players can't stop as long as they run in the game. It's like a car with only an accelerator but no brakes, but Liu Han has done a good job in this regard. Now he can know whether the team should play fast or slow without the reminder of the head coach.Sometimes, a good point guard can change a team. If the Bruins don't have Liu Han now, then the Bruins are estimated to be a top [-] team at best.

At the end of the half, the Bruins took a 34-point lead, 55 to [-].

Back from the intermission, Syracuse began to strengthen their aggressiveness in the game, and they tried to give it a go.

The Bruins, who already have experience, are very mature in the face of this kind of fierce competition. They don't have too much head-to-head confrontation with their opponents, but rely on the cooperation of the whole team to organize offense and defense.

比赛进行到下半场10分钟刚过的时候棕熊队就已经领先了对手27分，雪城大学橘子人队大势已去。最终这场比赛棕熊队兵不血刃的拿下，刘汉出场33分钟，17投12中，三分球8中6，罚球5中5，拿下35分十二次助攻，皮尔斯出场三10分钟拿下22分7篮板，棕熊队以109比76大胜对手33分。
