"Chauncey, have you decided?"
The University of California, Boulder, California.
In the basketball court.
Ricardo Parton, the head coach of the first-tier NCAA team, the Buffalo, said with a hint of bitterness,""Are you sure you want to enter the NBA directly after this season?”
Yes, Coach Ricardo."
Chauncey Billups, who was standing opposite Ricardo Parton, nodded."
"I think this is the best time, although I can't bring a championship trophy to the team.”
Just like Billups said.
It was 1996, and the next NCAA season would be the 96-97 season.
After this season ended, the 1997 NBA draft would begin.
Everyone knew.
There was a huge difference between the Class of 97 and the Class of 96.
If it wasn't for the big guy from Wake Forest participating in the 97th draft.
The 1997 NBA draft was going to be the ultimate year.
Therefore…
Billups had every reason to believe that he could get a high draft pick in the draft and officially enter the NBA.
This was indeed the best time to enter the NBA.
Similarly, it was just as he had said.
Joining the NBA after one more year meant that Billups would not be able to bring even a championship trophy to his alma mater.
After all, the strength of the Buffalo players was not enough.
Putting Billups aside, there were too many areas that the team needed to strengthen.
" If we want to win the championship this year, we need to strengthen our shooting guards…"
Even Billups concluded helplessly,""We still need to strengthen the small forward…"
"Reinforce the power forward and the center forward…"
Yes, it was.
In the entire Buffalo team, except for Billups, the starting lineup for the other four positions was not at the level of a champion.
Winning the championship was out of the question. Getting into the NCAA Tournament and making it into the top 32 was already the limit of their pursuit.
"Wait, Chauncey, what position did you say we need to strengthen?”
Just as Billups helplessly turned around and left.
Coach Ricardo Parton stopped him.""You said that we need to strengthen the center forward?”
"Yes, coach."
Billups spread his hands." It's not just the center. We also have to reinforce all positions except the point guard.”
"We can't find a suitable candidate for the other positions, but as for the center forward..."
Ricardo Parton took out a new student registration form."We seem to have recruited a good potential center forward this year.”
Recruit a potential center forward?
Billups naturally did not believe it.
After all, the University of California was too weak in basketball.
Looking at the history of the team, the most famous player to enter the NBA was probably Scott Weidman.
As for who this Waydman was?
He was the No. 6 pick in the 1974 draft and had two championship rings with the Boston Celtics at the end of his career.
It could be considered a small success.
As for the others…
Billups didn't even know who else was his schoolmate.
So, what kind of potential center do you expect a university team of this level to recruit?
It was indeed unrealistic.
"Judging from his physical data, he does have a lot of potential.”
Ricardo Parton didn't seem to be joking.""2.16 meters tall, 2.34 meters wingspan, 2.90 meters standing height.”
"This is Shaquille O'Neal's physical condition!”
No, it was even more exaggerated than O'Neal's wingspan touch height!
After all, while Shaq was 2.16 meters tall, his arm span was 2.31 meters and his touch height was 2.87 meters.
"And his weight, 125kg, is definitely a big killer in the NCAA!”
When O'Neal first entered the NBA, he was only 125kg.
Sharks in university were only lighter than 125 kilograms.
In other words, this freshman named Lu Ran had the height of O'Neal, and his arm span and touch height surpassed O'Neal's!
At the same time, it had the weight of a shark that surpassed that of a university shark!
Regardless of what kind of waves Shaq had set off after entering the NBA, he was still in the NBA.
He didn't even look at his trip to the Los Angeles Clippers this summer after the ultimate bubble drama.
It all depended on his dominance in university.
This body was definitely enough for the university league!
"Is this really our new student?”
Chauncey Billups 'original thought of leaving was instantly dispelled.
Damn it, I'm f * cking direct.
With his body's hardware, he was like a mountain in the University of California's inner line.
There was no need to worry about defending the penalty area, right?
Even if this freshman's offensive ability was a little weak, Billups was famous for being a standard point guard.
He was the best at feeding pancakes.
Lu Ran didn't even need to have a strong ability to attack on his own.
As long as he could eat the pancakes properly.
Even Billups could guarantee that he would feed the best rookie in the Big 12 League!
"Chauncey, maybe we really have a chance to fight for the championship this year.”
Ricardo Parton became visibly excited."Although there's no chance of winning the NCAA Tournament, there's definitely a chance to win the championship of the Big 12 League!”
It was too difficult to win the NCAA Tournament. There were too many strong teams. It was almost hopeless to rely on Billups and a rookie center whose strength was unknown.
However, the champion of the Big 12 Alliance really had a chance to try!
After all, there was only one truly strong team in the Big 12 Alliance this year.
" But, Coach, have you ever thought about what would happen if this guy called Lu Ran…"
"Don't worry. In two days, this batch of rookies will be undergoing joint trial training.”
Ricardo Parton saw Billups 'worry.""When the time comes, let's go and see Lu Ran's performance.”
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment?
Or had he really found the ultimate candidate for the team's inside post?
Not to mention Billups was looking forward to it.
As the team's manager, Ricardo Parton was also looking forward to it!
Would this young man from China named Lu Ran bring him a surprise?
What kind of answer could he give with this top-notch body?
He mustn't disappoint him and Chauncey!
