The news of Georgetown University's huge score in the warm-up match against North Carolina quickly spread throughout the United States.
Of course, that was impossible.
First of all, this was just a warm-up game between NCAA teams.
Secondly, the two sides didn't even send their most famous star players, such as Allen Iverson of Georgetown.
It was just a story between three newcomers, and it was difficult to cause any huge social discussion in the United States.
Moreover, it was only 1995.
The development of the Internet was far inferior to the future 90s. A warm-up match was insignificant.
Although the war did not spread across the United States, at least Mo Ran's name still appeared in the Washington Post's NCAA foresight section.
It was the highest-ranked school in the United States in Washington.
The Georgetown University team had always been the focus of the Washington Post.
In the NCAA Season Foresee section.
Except for the introduction of Allen Iverson.
In the warm-up match, Mo Ran, who had scored a double-double and almost contributed a triple-double, became the new darling of the editor.
"Look, these guys from the Washington Post are not fools.”
On the campus of Georgetown University.
He flipped through the latest issue of the Washington Post.
Allen Iverson, who was wearing a hip-hop outfit, walked into the school arena.
"Mo, they say you are one of the ten most anticipated superstars of the season.”
Every year, before the start of the NCAA season, the media would list their most anticipated superstars.
For example:
In the most influential sports magazine in America, Sports Illustrated.
The most anticipated college star of the year was Allen Iverson.
Tim Duncan was recognized by the media as the strongest college player.
However, his style and personality were far less popular than Iverson's.
Therefore, AI was also the most anticipated university star in the United States.
As for the latest rookie ranking forecast…
Tim Duncan of Wake Forest University was still in first place.
George Town's Allen Iverson was second.
The third place belonged to Marcus Canby from the University of Massachusetts'.
Mo Ran's name did not even appear on the 60-person ranking.
And the ten most anticipated super rookies.
North Block's Vincent Carter.
Stephen Marbury from the University of California.
Sharif Rahim of the University of California was in the top three.
Antoine Jamison was also on the list.
" Larry Bird II " from the University of Arizona, such as Chris Van Horn.
They were all famous experts in high school!
Naturally, Mo Ran's name wasn't on the list of the top ten newcomers that Sports Illustrated had published.
It wasn't just Sports Illustrated.
Mo Ran's name was not on the list of the top 10 promising rookies in the new season of the NCAA by the other American media outlets.
Mo Ran's name didn't even appear on the list of 60 rookies.
Only the Washington Post, which was ranked 10th among the top 10 newcomers, gave Mo Ran a chance to show his face.
They were also the only newspapers and magazines to put Mo Fang on the list of the most anticipated rookies in the new season.
"The other newspapers are more retarded.”
Jerome Williams handed a copy of The New York Times to the AI and looked at Mo Ran.""Mo, you clearly beat up North Block, which belonged to Vincent and Jamison.”
"But they didn't even mention your name!”
Carter and Jamison were the freshmen who were mentioned the most in these newspapers and magazines.
On the other hand, Mo Ran, who had completely defeated the two players in the warm-up match, only appeared in the local newspapers in Washington.
What was this?
"The newspapers are enough to pass the time. There's no need to care about them.”
"I only read the newspaper when I go to the toilet.”
"I don't mean anything else. I just want to say that the editors of these newspapers are all **”
Iverson threw the New York Times aside."Mo, the start date of the new season has been set. We will be able to fight side by side very soon.”
"We'll shock the entire US!"
In Iverson's eyes, Mo Ran, this Chinese beast, had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
It would definitely shock the American basketball circle, which was not prepared at all!
At that time, what would the expressions of the media, who did not even mention Mo Ran's name, look like?
The AI almost laughed out loud just by imagining it.
"Aren, did you think of something funny?”
As the young people conversed.
George Town's manager, John Thompson, walked over.""Why aren't you changing into your training clothes? There were only a few days left until the start of the new season!”
" Got it, Coach Thompson."
Iverson waved his hand." Even if I don't train, it won't affect my performance on the court."
Even if he did not train, it would not affect his performance on the field.
Hearing Iverson's words, Mo Ran suddenly remembered that some media outlets in the future would attack AI and dislike training.
But later, Iverson actually clarified.
He was just too lazy to respond to the reporter's questions about training after a certain loss, so he opened his mouth and casually replied.
In the end, it was rumored that he didn't like training!
He did not expect that the AI's habit of opening its mouth had already been formed since university.
"Mo, take a rest first."
After sending away the troublesome Iverson, John Thompson walked to Mo Ran's side.""There's no hurry with the training. I have something to tell you.”
"The team's first match of the new season is against St. John's University's Red Storm.”
"Allen is the superstar of the NCAA this year. He will definitely be the focus of St. John's outside line.”
"St. John's University's perimeter defense is excellent. In contrast, their interior defense is relatively weak. The height of their interior players is generally around 2.05 meters.”
Knowing that the opponent would heavily defend against Iverson from the outside, he restricted the AI.
Moreover, the opponent's defense inside the line and the height inside the line were obviously insufficient.
Coach John Thompson decisively made a tactical shift.
"Mo, I hope you can break through St. John's University's inside line in the opening match.”
"The team will focus more on you and build a tactical system!”
He relied on Mo Ran's powerful destructive power inside to defeat Saint John's University's defensive system.
It would free Allen Iverson.
Then, he would let AI and Mo Ran work hard internally and externally to win in one fell swoop and win the start of the season.
This was how Coach John Thompson won!
Of course, the only problem now was:
Could Mo Ran destroy the opponent's defensive system on his own like he did in the warm-up match?
(Please support me, the data is bleak, please support me!)!）
