September 27th, US time.
The preseason warm-up matches for the NCAA teams officially began.
Before the start of the new season, every team would have a warm-up match.
On the one hand, it was to give the rookies a feel for the game. On the other hand, it was also to adjust the starting lineup of each team for the new season.
Like the University of California.
Coach Ricardo Parton wanted to see:
Could Lu Ran have the standard of a starter in an NCA-level battle?
Similarly, their opponent in today's warm-up match, the University of the Pacific, also wanted to see:
After an entire season of growth.
He was a big center forward who had the same physical condition as Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Jabbar.
What kind of progress had he made in his second season?
And this young man, who was regarded by the University of the Pacific as the next Chamberlain, was called Michael Olovokandi!
"Michael is the next Wilt Chamberlain. He will be the next Hakeem Olajuwon.”
Before the game, the head coach of the University of the Pacific, Bob Thomas, who was interviewed by the media, vowed,"
"I can guarantee that he will surprise everyone.”
At this time in 1996, Michael Olovokandi was mentioned.
The first thing people would think of was that he was 2.13 meters tall and weighed 122 kilograms.
Moreover, his long jump distance could reach seven meters.
His triple jump distance was over 16 meters!
This was a simplified version of Wilt Chamberlain!
Of course, for Lu Ran.
The deepest impression he had of Michael Olovokandi was-
This guy was the biggest draft pick in NBA history before Bennett and Kuame Brown came out of nowhere.
Now, his first warm-up match on behalf of the University of California was actually against the top three people on the history of the top scorer list.
Interesting.
"Lu, don't be too nervous. No one cares about winning or losing a warm-up match.”
Before the warm-up match began.
Coach Ricardo Paton patted Lu Ran's shoulder.""Relax and enjoy this game.”
Although Lu Ran knew very well that the sugar man Olovokandi was a big fake.
But Ricardo Parton and the others did not know.
In their opinion, Candy was a super center full of talent. He was likely to make a big difference in the 1998 draft.
It was even possible that Candy Man would enter the NBA in 1997.
After all, there weren't many rookies who could suppress Candy Man in the 1997 draft!
In summary.
It was normal for Lu Ran's debut in college to be defeated by a talented young Chamberlain.
"Don't think too much, Lu."
Chauncey Billups patted Lu Ran's shoulder immediately.
In Flatfish's opinion, Lu Ran's focus today was to participate.
It was enough for him to occasionally contribute some outstanding performances.
"I know. The most important thing is to participate…"
Lu Ran also showed a harmless smile to Flatfish and Coach Parton.
The pre-match warm-up between the two teams quickly ended. The starting players of the two teams stood on the field.
"Oh, am I seeing things? The starting center of the University of California today is an Asian player?”
The commentator on the sidelines flipped through the information in his hand.
"His name is Lu Ran, and he's from China. He's a freshman at the University of California!”
"Sending freshmen for the warm-up match is not a problem.”
"Looks like this match will be Michael Olovokandi's one-man show!”
The two commentators reached a high degree of agreement on this point.
In their opinion, Lu Ran was here to deliver his head.
Candy Olovkandi would start his Musou mode in this warm-up match!
What was interesting was…
When Olovokandi and Lu Ran stood at the center line and were about to jump the ball.
The sugar figurine didn't even bother to trash talk Lu Ran.
Look at him with his nose in the air.
It was simply saying:
I'm the next Big Dream, the next Chamberlain!
Who the hell are you?
Then, Lu Ran told him his name.
The referee threw the ball high up, and the big centers of both sides leaped almost at the same time.
Under the watchful eyes of the fans, Lu Ran took the lead to pass the ball to the team's point guard with an absolute height advantage.
"Michael actually lost to that big guy from China in the jump ball segment!”
"Oh, this is too surprising…"
The two commentators on the sidelines were analyzing the situation of the jump ball.
Lu Ran suddenly stepped on the accelerator and drove straight onto the highway!
The Celestial Giant Beast had just completed the jump ball. The moment it landed on the ground, it began to speed up and attack the front field!
You've seen:
A monster that was 2.16 meters tall and weighed 120 kilograms, charging towards the front field at the speed of a 100-meter sprint after the jump ball?
Anyway, the two commentators had never seen it before.
The thousands of fans in the stadium had never seen it before.
Even Ricardo Parton and Billups had never seen it before!
Michael Olowokandi had never seen it before, but now he had!
Of course, the sugar figurine only saw the back of the Chinese giant beast and the name on the back of his jersey-Lu Ran!
" What are you standing there for?!"
Ricardo Parton, who was on the sidelines, reacted quickly and shouted at his players,""Pass the ball!"
Pass the ball!
The University of California's point guard snapped back to his senses after being yelled at. He hurriedly shifted the ball to the front field!
To be honest, the pass was ridiculous.
However, it was not a big problem.
That was because Lu Ran was the only one up front!
He easily caught his teammate's outrageous pass and rushed to the three-point line. He dribbled the ball and took a big step to the free-throw line, taking off in an instant!
The two shoutcasters at the venue were once again dumbfounded.
What was going on?
A slam dunk from the free-throw line in actual combat?
Moreover, from the three-point line to the free-throw line, Lu Ran only dribbled the ball once?
This was…They had never seen such a scene before!
"Boom!"
While the crowd was completely silent, Lu Ran had already taken off from the free-throw line.
Fire burned the sky.
Furious Splitting Kilimanjaro!
After he completed the slam dunk and landed on the ground.
All the fans in the stadium, including the two commentators, almost jumped out of their seats.
“ＯＨ！ＭＹ！ＧＯＤ！”
"What did I just see?"
"What is Lu Ran holding in his hand?”
"Oh my god! He grabbed the basket!"
(Violent Beast, born out of nowhere, updated a lot, please give me a lot of flowers and tickets to support!)!）
