Although Billups really hoped that he could fight alongside Lu Ran a little more times, he was still a little worried.
However, theoretically speaking, their cooperation might end here.
Billups would choose to join the NBA this summer.
With Lu Ran's ability, he would also choose to enter the NBA this year.
The same year's top rookies gathered on the same team?
This was indeed unrealistic.
Perhaps the two of them would have a chance to meet again after entering the NBA for many years.
But who could say for sure?
After thinking about it, Billups chose to put these thoughts to the back of his mind.
Why are you thinking so much?
Enjoy the rest of the game and win the NCAA Tournament!
Lu Ran was still bombarded with questions from the reporters.
It was obvious to the naked eye that he could handle this kind of interview very well.
On another field.
UCLA, a traditional strong team, defeated their opponent and advanced to the final four.
According to the division, the final four teams of the 1997 NCAA Tournament were:
UCLA versus Kentuckia.
Wake Forest VS Orlando!
"The showdown between Wake Forest and Orlando was supposed to be the final match, but unfortunately, it was brought forward.”
"With all due respect, whoever advances to the finals between these two teams will be the final champion!”
"Is it really that simple? Kentucky-based was also very strong this season.”
"The final champion may only be left to the competition itself!”
Several senior basketball experts were discussing the final championship of this season.
Except for UCLA, who was the running team.
Kentuckya, Wake Forest, and colorado were all teams that looked like champions.
There was no need to talk about Wake Forest and Orlando.
Tim Duncan, Billups, and Lu Ran, these three young players would have a great future in the NBA.
As for Kentuckian, their coach, Rick Pitino, had studied under Auerbach and was of the Green Army bloodline.
His fast-paced basketball style made the attack of the Kentuckians extremely gorgeous.
Under his leadership, players like Ron Mercer were sent to a position close to that of a MOP.
Along with Derek Anderson, the outside shooter.
The strength of Kentuckian was not to be underestimated.
Of course, even UCLA, which was regarded as a team, couldn't be ignored.
Under this single elimination system, anything was possible!
"Of course, I'm more optimistic about Orlando because I'm a fan of Lu Ran.”
In Los Angeles, Wilt Chamberlain, who was attending a media program, still stated his position."I am very optimistic about him becoming the final champion.”
As the general spoke, he took off his jacket, revealing the jersey with the number 34 jersey inside.
True Burning Powder!
What was interesting was…
Among the current players, there was also a player who clearly stated his position.
That was the postman of the Yale Knights, Karl Malone.
"I'll go to the stadium to watch the match. I really like watching Lu Ran's match.”
After Karl Malone won the game, he said in an interview,""From him, I can see the smell of an old insider. I can't wait to fight him.”
In the current league, there were not many players who could resist his iron elbow.
Shaq, that guy, could barely be considered one.
However, those who could resist his iron elbow and counterattack were almost extinct.
Therefore, Malone hoped that Lu Ran could become the man who could resist the iron elbow and counterattack.
Between real men, they had to communicate with big elbows!
There were still many players in the current league who were interested in the semifinals.
As the representative of the Alliance's inner circle, they were looking forward to new blood joining the big family of inner circle players.
April 1st, US time.
The flames of war were ignited in the final four of the NCAA.
UCLA represented the weaker side and was looking forward to a surprise victory.
The Kentuckian Wildcats represented absolute strength. They refused any form of upset!
In the end, it was still Kentuckian, who had the upper hand, who had the last laugh.
After winning this game, Kentucky-which had successfully advanced to the finals would be waiting for the winner between Wake Forest and colorado!
What was worth mentioning was…
After today's semi-finals ended.
Rick Pitino, the head coach of the Kitty Wildcats, received a call from Boston.
Pitino looked at the caller ID and was filled with respect.
That's right.
The person on the other end of the phone was none other than the great Cardinal Auerbach!
"Rick, you did well. You've been very good at coaching in the NCAA in recent years.”
Boston, North Shore Gardens.
Auerbach leisurely lit his cigar.""To be honest, the NCAA doesn't pose any challenge to you. Are you interested in coaching in Boston?”
Coach in Boston!
Auerbach went straight to the point and directly extended an olive branch to Pitino to coach the Celtics.
Everyone knew.
In the past two years, the Celtics had let Coach M.L. Kyle take over as a scapegoat.
The 1997 talent show was the final step of the plan.
After selecting Duncan or Lu Ran, the Celtics would be on the right track.
Manager Kehr, who was the scapegoat, could also step down from the position of manager and let a new manager who was really suitable for the job take over.
Obviously.
Pitino, who was from the Green Army, was Auerbach's choice for the new commander.
"Of course, I'm very eager to contribute my strength to the Celtics!”
Rick Pitino was extremely excited when he heard Auerbach's invitation.
As a coach produced by the Green Army, Pitino's ultimate dream was to give back to the Celtics.
Coincidentally, the Celtics needed the strength to revive.
Pitino was ready to lead the Green Army to rise again!
"Very good. Then I have another question to ask you.”
On the other end of the phone, Auerbach casually threw out a difficult question.""Between Tim Duncan and Lu Ran, which one would you prefer to coach?”
(Let me explain. After the third update was posted yesterday, there was not a single reader comment in the comment section, so the author gave up on the update…) I'm really sorry. I'll immediately make up for the updates I owe yesterday!!）
