"Lu, have you seen the latest newspapers?”
University of California, University of California, basketball court.
He was the first Lu Chui in history.
Gail Muller walked into the arena with a copy of Boulder City Weekly and immediately looked for Lu Ran.
"You are already the Fist King of the Celestial Dynasty!"
The Chinese Fist King?
Lu Ran was stunned when he heard this nickname.
Good heavens, is boxing really more popular than playing basketball?
"I'm a serious basketball player.”
Lu Ran took the newspaper from Mu Lei and flipped through it.
Most of the news content in the basketball section that was supposed to be related to the NCAA was used to describe Lu Ran's punch.
The title of the Fist King of the Celestial Dynasty was something that could not be removed for a while.
"Lu, seriously, look at this cover.”
Ralf Ford, the starting small forward of the colorado team, also came over.""I think the power of your punch might have been underestimated!”
From Ford's point of view:
Lu Ran had knocked out Olovokandi with one punch, but that was not the limit of his punch's power!
His upper limit might have to enter the NBA and compete with those monsters to see the truth!
Think about it.
Lu Ran versus Karl Malone.
China's Iron Fist versus the Utah's Evil Elbow.
Ghostly.
After fantasizing for a while, Ford had goosebumps all over his body.
[Fake Battle of the Giants: Lu Ran KO Olovokandi with one punch.]
The real battle between giants: China's Iron Fist vs the Utah's Evil Elbow!
"Alright, lads, it's time to train properly!”
Seeing that the players were in no mood to train, they surrounded Lu Ran and chatted about boxing.
Coach Ricardo Parton came forward at the right time to call for a stop, bringing the team's style back to normal.
Please.
We're the colorado basketball team, not the colorado boxing team!
Besides, when it came to boxing, other than Lu Ran, everyone else was his younger brother.
Oh, no…
Ricardo Parton's gaze fell on Chauncey Billups, who had not spoken much.
In terms of boxing, Flatfish might be able to fight alongside Lu Ran!
However, Billups did not make a move easily.
"Lu, due to your performance in the last match, you don't have to play in the next two warm-up matches for the time being.”
After training, Coach Ricardo Parton went to find Lu Ran alone.
Although the expulsion of the warm-up match would not affect the official match.
However, Lu Ran's punch was still intimidating.
At least the University of California's opponents in the next two warm-up matches were very afraid of Lu Ran's iron fist.
If the players on the field accidentally provoked Lu Ran and were knocked out by him with one punch, it would affect the upcoming NCAA Division Tournament.
That would not be worth it.
After all, the warm-up match was for the players to find their form, not for the players to die.
Coincidentally.
Coach Ricardo Parton also felt that the warm-up match was no longer necessary for Lu Ran.
It was all about his performance in beating up Michael Olovokandi in the first warm-up match.
Warming up to get into the right state?
There was no need for that.
It was to protect both Lu Ran and the opposing players.
Coach Ricardo Parton simply did not let Lu Ran play in the next two warm-up matches.
At the same time.
He chose to put Lu Ran in the starting lineup.
It allowed Billups and Lu Ran to get used to each other in advance.
The Lu and Bi duo would be the trump card duo of the University of California's first ever Big 12 championship team!
It was unrealistic to win the NCAA Tournament.
However, it was not impossible for him to become the champion of the BIG12 Alliance.
As long as they could defeat Kansas!
"Run faster!"
"Haven't you eaten enough? Keep up with Lambert and Changxi!"
"Come, guys, keep it up!”
"Bring out your 120 points of concentration. We want to defeat Kansas!!”
As the cooperation between the Lu and Bi combination became more and more proficient, Ricardo Parton's roar during the team training became more and more intense.
October 16th, US time.
It was the day before the start of the NCAA Division Tournament.
The major rice-exporting countries 'newspapers and media, led by Sports Illustrated, published articles about the new season's NCAA.
The first one to bear the brunt was the '97 Rookie Rankings.
Without a doubt.
Wake Forest University's flying devil, Tim Duncan, was ranked first on the 97th rookie list with an absolute advantage.
Let alone the 97th Rookie Rankings.
At this time last year, Duncan was also at the top of the 96th Rookie Rankings.
However, Duncan had no intention of running in advance.
He had promised his mother that he would only officially join the NBA after finishing all four years of college.
The rookie in the top two spot was Larry Bird II from the University of Arizona--Kees Van Horn!
This white small forward was almost a big offensive weapon in the NCAA.
His terrifying long-range shooting ability even covered up his shortcomings on the defensive end and his poor physical fitness.
In addition, Auerbach was crazily praising Kees Van Horne in order to cover up the Green Army's ambition to pursue Duncan.
This typical offensive but weak defensive forward was seen as the man who was known as the Crouching Dragon Phoenix among the 97th rookie, together with Tim Duncan.
The top two rookies of the 1997 class were almost all confirmed. All the major media outlets had reached a consensus.
However, starting from the top three.
The major media outlets had different opinions.
Sports Illustrated gave the top three spot to Tony Batty, the batman from Texas Tech!
This 2.11-meter tall, 105-kilogram, powerful player had an outstanding ability to shoot half a basket.
His shooting range could even cover the vicinity of the free-throw line.
In the 1990s, the Alliance was dominated by the inside players.
2.11 meters, strong lower body strength, a decent half basket, and a good shooting range.
Sports Illustrated was quite professional when it came to treating Battie as one of the top three rookies of the 1997 class.
Of course, don't be fooled by his nickname, Batman.
Tony Battie was called the " batman " because of his name, Tony Battie.
The first three letters of Battie: BAT meant bats.
That was why the fans of Texas Tech University called him "batman".
Slam Magazine was not intimidated by the nickname of Batman.
They chose to give the top three spot in the 1997 class to the University of California's heartthrob guard, Chauncey Billups!
Flatfish used to be the Mr. Basketball of the State of colorado.
And last season, which was his freshman season.
Billups had an average of 17.9 points, 6.3 rebound, and 5.5 assists per game, and had four 30-plus performances in a single game!
After receiving the news that Billups was going to run in 1997, he was shocked.
Slam magazine decisively placed Billups in the top three of the rookies of the 1997s.
What was worth mentioning was…
Sports Illustrated quoted the nickname given to Tony Batty by Texas Tech:
Slam magazine chose to call Billups the cannonball man!
Why?
That was because Billups 'three-pointer destroyed the opponent's basket like a cannonball!
What was interesting was…
The two universities where Tony Batty and Chauncey Billups attended.
Texas Tech and the University of California were both part of the BIG-12 alliance.
October 17th, US time.
The opening match of the BIG-12 Alliance.
It was the Texas Tech Red Raiders versus the Buffalo!
In everyone's eyes.
This match was the battle for the top three spot.
Batman vs Cannonball Man!
The basketball article is very niche, and the data has almost not changed. I beg all readers to support it greatly. Thank you very much!!）
