Chapter 41
Chapter 41 Are you going to be hated? The backward battle axe is coming! (1, ask for support)
“Mo Ran dunked Tim, and when he turned around, the Wake Forest big man returned the color with his best wiper!”
“Hahaha, I just like to see the mutual responses between young people like this!”
“Whether Georgetown or Wake Forest wins, this semifinal match is destined to go down in history!”
Chicago, Soldier Field.
Mourning and Mutombo continued to laugh.
As seniors, they are naturally happy to see such a young insider full of potential, showing their magical powers on the NCAA stage.
certainly.
As Georgetown’s predecessors, they are more hopeful.
Mo Ran is the ultimate winner of this epic showdown!
“Hey, Wake Forest University’s No. 21 has two hits.”
CCTV Studio.
The old man Zhang Lili also noticed Duncan: “This ball looks like a scratch, and there must be many people who think it is a chance.”
“It’s not a chance. He was just trying to wipe the board.”
“This ball, come prepared!”
Although Zhang Lili has limited information on hand, he does not know Duncan’s technical characteristics.
But he used to be the World Championship scoring champion, a real old man.
It can be seen at a glance that Duncan is deliberately cleaning the board, deliberately!
“Director Zhang, look at today’s game, has Mo Ran met an opponent?”
Sun Zhengping added at the right time: “As far as I know, in the entire knockout stage, he never let his opponents taste the sweetness.”
“That’s for sure. At this stage of the semi-finals, Mo Ran’s opponent definitely has two brushes…”
Zhang Lili then introduced the details about Duncan that he had on hand.
With the help of Mo Ran, Duncan became the first well-known NCAA player in basketball history outside of Georgetown University.
In Zhang Lili and Sun Zhengping’s partial and reasonable explanation.
The match between Wake Forest and George Town is in full swing.
More than 6 minutes passed in the first half.
On the Georgetown side, Allen Iverson is a bit over the top, not very efficient, and missed a few singles opportunities.
Fortunately, there is Mo Ran to give him the bottom line.
After grabbing the offensive rebound on Duncan’s head, he took off and scored quickly.
Mo Ran has scored 14 points, plus 6 rebounds and 2 blocks.
It seems to be running for a large double-double, or even a triple-double!
On the other hand, Wake Forest.
Duncan is a little tight on the defensive end.
Although after entering the NBA, Duncan specializes in all kinds of inside jumpers.
Like Kenyon Martin.
But Martin is 5 centimeters shorter than Duncan, and he does not have an advantage in physical confrontation.
More importantly, Martin’s athleticism is nothing compared to Mo Ran.
Mo Ran has the same height as Duncan, a similar wingspan, and more athletic talent + physical confrontation ability.
The junior Duncan was a little gaffe in defending him, and it was reasonable.
Although the defensive end is tight, Duncan on the offensive end shows no mercy at all.
Mo Ran contributed 14+6+2 data, Duncan also scored 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks.
These two big players are obviously going for a double-double!
At the official timeout in the first half, Georgetown temporarily led Wake Forest by 4 points at 22:18.
“Tim, don’t let that guy go inside easily!”
Wake Forest bench.
Coach Dave Odom directly gave Duncan a trick: “Georgetown let Mo Ran pass the ball in the mid-to-long distance today. When he’s down, don’t give him space!”
Like Dave Odom said.
Since Iverson’s efficiency is not very good today, in order to prevent him from overtaking, many of Georgetown’s offenses have chosen to go through Mo Ran’s hands.
He also pulls more out of the box and acts as a ball-conducting central axis.
And after the pass, Mo Ran can choose to run down to the low post, finish or grab the rebound.
In Dave Odom’s view, Mo Ran in the restricted area is invincible.
But leaving the three-second zone and imprisoning Mo Ran in the middle and long distances, his effect will be greatly weakened!
As for how to limit Mo Ran to the mid-to-long range, it’s time to test Tim Duncan’s defense!
“I see, coach.”
Duncan still just responded with a calm sentence.
But Dave Odom knows better than anyone that his disciple is going to show his true ability to limit Mo Ran!
The official timeout ended, and Dave Odom looked at Mo Ran with a little pity in his eyes.
The gap between the top rookies in history and the emerging stars may be revealed in the next round!
Wake Forest ball.
After Duncan caught the ball at the free throw line, he passed it to Lalu on the outside, who swayed and scored two points from the middle distance.
At 20:22, Wake Forest approached the difference to 2 points!
Offensive and defensive conversion.
Georgetown offense.
Allen Iverson advanced through the half and gave the ball to Mo Ran, who was standing on the right side of the free throw line.
Mo Ran lifted the ball over his head and watched his teammates move.
Wake Forest’s defense is tight, and Iverson is double-marked and has no space to catch the ball.
The rest of the Wake Forest players are guarding a fake zone defense.
There is no doubt that this is creating a 1V1 environment between Duncan and Mo Ran!
“Wake Forest set a trap for Mo Ran, they were trying to tempt Mo to play Tim Duncan with the ball from the mid-range!”
Alonzo Mourning saw Wake Forest’s defensive setup at a glance:
“Coach Dave Odom didn’t waste this official timeout, he gave our junior a multiple choice question!”
Although Mourning and Mutombo are very clear, Mo Ran also has a certain ability to carry the ball and attack.
But you have to know that before today, Mo Ran faced a defender who did not have the defensive attributes as strong as Duncan.
The same height, longer wingspan, excellent lateral movement + fully enough physical confrontation ability.
Duncan may be the strongest defender Mo Ran has ever faced in the offense with the ball!
“If I were Mo, I might choose to pass the ball and then go down.”
Uncle Mu is still giving Mo Ran a trick: “Or go with Allen for a hand-in-hand pick-and-roll…”
However, before Mutombo said all the options, Mo Ran, who held the ball in the middle distance, gave his answer!
“Bang!”
I saw that the Celestial Giant held the ball and made two crotch in a row, then changed direction greatly to free up the starting space, and took two big steps to kill the inside penalty area!
Tim Duncan is very close, his long legs are not dry!
“boom!”
Mo Ran, who carried the defender to the penalty area, took off in one step!
Deng Duodao also took off, and at the same time opened his arms, completely blocking Mo Ran!
Mutombo and Mourning stopped talking.
With their years of experience, if Mo Ran hits the ball hard, he will most likely be blocked!
The next moment, Uncle Mu and Mo Ning were stunned!
Under the gaze of more than 43,000 fans in the audience, Mo Ran, who was completely covered by Duncan, leaned back, stretched his long arms, and threw the ball directly into the basket!
After obtaining the physical attributes of the enhanced version of Antetokounmpo, Mo Ran always wanted to find a chance to try the feeling of the tomahawk slashing backwards.
Helpless, he has never encountered this level of defense, leaving him with nowhere to release his martial arts.
Now, after meeting Duncan, Mo Ran finally found his chance:
Lean back and swipe the battle axe! *
