We show that a $C^{1}$-generic non-partially hyperbolic symplectic diffeomorphism $f$ has topological entropy equal to the supremum of the sum of the positive Lyapunov exponents of its hyperbolic periodic points. Moreover, we also prove that $f$ has topological entropy approximated by the topological entropy of $f$ restricted to basic hyperbolic sets. In particular, the topological entropy map is lower semicontinuous in a $C^{1}$-generic set of symplectic diffeomorphisms far from partial hyperbolicity.
