Based on the intel that the Celtics had so far.
Lu Ran's offensive ability did not need to be described too much.
Strong physical fitness, top-notch physical hardware, and the use of footwork with low maturity.
In the NBA, he was definitely a grade-level post offensive player.
Then, he looked at the defense.
Lu Ran's dominance in the penalty area was obvious to all.
From the information compiled by the Celtics scouts.
Among the top 64 teams in the NCAA, Lu Ran was the player with the strongest ability to limit his opponent's scoring in the penalty area.
Even Tim Duncan was no match for him in this data.
But now, Lu Ran's performance was no longer limited to his defensive ability in the penalty area.
From the penalty area to the free-throw line, and then from the free-throw line, it gradually expanded to the entire mid-range area!
He could even defend beyond the three-point line and complete the three-point defense against Mike Bibby!
Lu Ran's defensive area was visibly wide.
This might be the real defensive area he had!
"Bishop, this…"
Coach M.L. Kyle couldn't think of a way to describe what he saw.
Because he had never seen a player with such a wide defensive area.
It could cover the entire three-point line from under the basket!
"We have to think about the talent show.”
Seeing that the points difference between the two teams had become irreversible, Auerbach stopped paying attention to the game.
He knew very well.
The next problem facing the Celtics was very serious.
If the team really got the first pick.
Should he choose Tim Duncan or Lu Ran?
Without today's game, Auerbach's answer would be very simple:
Other than Duncan, no one was worthy of the top pick of the 1997 draft.
But the problem was that he had finished watching today's game.
Lu Ran's gradually bug-like defensive zone in the first and second half made Auerbach realize his mistake.
Who said that no one could threaten Duncan's first place?
Lu Ran had something to say!
"I... I don't know."
The Celtics 'No. 1 scout was caught in a dilemma.
As early as the summer of 1995, Duncan had locked in the position of the top draft pick in 1997.
His strength, his talent, everything he had was born for the position of top scholar.
However, was Lu Ran not worthy of the top scorer's position?
From a certain point of view, Lu Ran was more impactful and shocking than Duncan.
It was truly a difficult matter to choose one of these two rookies to be the top scholar.
"If I had to choose, I would prefer Tim Duncan.”
"His talent has been proven over many years. After all, Lu Ran is only a freshman…"
"I'm sorry, buddy. I don't agree with you.”
"It's precisely because Lu Ran is only a freshman that he's younger than Tim!”
Being younger meant that Lu Ran had a higher upper limit than Duncan.
"Tim has shown his dominance in the university for three years!”
"But he hasn't shown any of Lu Ran's dominating statistics this season!”
"If I had the number 1 pick and didn't choose Tim Duncan, I would regret it for 10 years!”
"I'll regret it for the rest of my life if I miss Lu Ran even though I have lot number 1!”
As the Celtics scouts gradually talked about the topic, the debate between them about Duncan and Lu Ran gradually heated up.
M. L. Kyle did not speak.
He was very clear.
When Tim Duncan's position as the top scorer, which had remained unchanged for many years, began to shake.
This meant that Lu Ran really had the ability to become the top scorer in 1997.
Then... Who would the Celtics choose?
Who was the man who shouldered the mission of reviving the Celtics?
This was a big problem!
"Jerry, maybe you should change your mind.”
At the same time.
Los Angeles.
Jerry West, who had already switched channels, received a call from the team's owner, Jerry Bass.
On the other end of the phone, Old Bath said clearly,"I watched Lu Ran's match today. His performance left a deep impression on me.”
"To be honest, I don't think Lu will clash with Shaq's position. He can even help Shaq share a lot of the pressure on the defensive end.”
Old Bath might not know how to carry out the transaction, but he could still tell at a glance what kind of talent Lu Ran had.
It was fine if he didn't see a rookie with such talent.
If he saw it, he couldn't miss it!
The LOGO did not speak.
He might have thought of the same question that Auerbach was thinking at the moment:
How many unknown abilities did Lu Ran have that he had yet to display?
Before today's match, Lu Ran had never displayed such a terrifying defensive area.
Was this a display of all his abilities?
Had he ever given his all in a single match?
What was Lu Ran's upper limit?
This question was related to Lu Ran's value!
At this moment.
The general managers of the two rival teams, the yellow and green teams, thought of the same thing!
The camera returned to the American Airlines Center in Phoenix.
The Arizona Wildcat suddenly died after a wave of attacks from the colorado team crushed the game.
Even though the game had lost its suspense, the manager of the Wildcats, Towns, was still stunned.
The team…He lost just like that?
Lu Ran was just so serious on the defensive end, and we were already defeated?
No way!
But the truth was:
The Arizona Wildcats, who had the potential to become the champions of the NCAA Tournament this season, were attacked by the Buffalo in the top 32.
Lu Ran scored a huge triple-double of 45 points, 30 rebounded, and 12 blocked shots. He personally sent the Arizona Wildcats, who were supposed to be the champions of the NCAA Tournament in 1997, back to their hometown!
"Fortunately, today's competition venue is in Arizona.”
After winning the top 32 match, Lu Ran, who was interviewed by the media after the match, smiled."At least the Arizona Wildcats are close to home.”
It was very close to home, so it wouldn't be a problem to go home!
Lu Ran's words were in response to Bibby's words about having all the members of Colors go back to school before the game today!
Winning trash talk response, lethality instantly MAX !
At least, White Devil Mike Beeby's defense was broken.
He felt that he was not a demon at all.
Lu Ran was the real devil!
The flying devil of colorado!
A new month, tickets, support, thank you very much!!）
