"Don't think too much. I'm just a fan today.”
Jerry West, who was interviewed before the game, said directly,""I know what you're thinking.”
"Whether it's Mo Ran or Alan, they're definitely rookies at the lottery level.”
"Our goal this season is the playoffs. The team's draft picks simply can't pick these two young players.”
The meaning of the LOGO was clear.
Even though the Los Angeles team didn't have any superstars, they were still very stable in the playoffs.
A team that could enter the playoffs would not have a lottery pick.
On the other hand, Mo Ran and Iverson were definitely rookies at the lottery level.
Especially Allen Iverson, who was the most popular candidate for the top draft pick in 1996.
Do you expect the playoffs team to add another top pick?
This was too ridiculous.
Old Master West was indeed an experienced man.
After he finished speaking, he immediately dispelled the media's thoughts of digging deeper into the topic.
What people didn't know was…
It was absolutely impossible to rely solely on the draft picks of the Los Angeles Clippers to select these two young players.
But what if he initiated the transaction?
Although the Los Angeles Clippers did not have any superstars, they had three All-Star players.
Van Exel, Eddy Jones, Divens.
These three weren't part of the future plans of the LOGO.
Taking advantage of the 96th rookie market, he traded these three All-Stars in exchange for the cornerstone of the team's future.
Why not?
More importantly…
With these words, the LOGO directly made the Los Angeles team fade out of the ranks of the popular rookie competition.
After all, the Purple and Gold Army was once a powerhouse team. If they were too high-profile, they would be targeted by many teams.
However, if he operated in secret, the probability of success would be much higher.
That's right.
Jerry West today.
They were here for Iverson and Mo Ran!
He wanted to see who was more suitable to carry the flag of the Laker's revival plan.
Under the gaze of the LOGO, the quarter-finals between West virginia and Georgetown officially began.
In the jump ball segment, Mo Ran crushed his opponent with an absolute advantage and took the lead to pass the ball to Iverson.
There was no such thing as Kevin Ollie in West virginia.
They could only watch as Georgetown's classic opening combo:
The Giants counterattacked and the Quarterback made a long pass, reappearing at Verison Center.
Although this scene was often seen on videotapes, Jerry West was still quite shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
Whether it was the accuracy of Iverson's long passes or Mo Ran's terrifying athletic ability.
West's eyes lit up.
On the offensive side, Iverson's solo ability was definitely the best in the NCAA.
Other than his height, the LOGO couldn't find any flaws in Iverson.
Similarly.
Throughout the game, Mo Ran's offense was flying in the sky and the ground, making the Verison Center's basket buzz.
And the way he scored easily ignited the atmosphere of the fans.
Even Jerry West felt his blood boiling.
Not only that, Mo Ran's defensive ability was also top-notch.
The West Virginian players felt their scalps tingle from Mo Ran's cap. In just the first half of the game, Mo Ran had blocked seven shots.
If it weren't for the West Virginian players deliberately avoiding Mo Ran in the paint, his blocked shots would have been even more explosive!
Of course.
West Virginian avoided Mo Ran and did not attack the inside lane.
Their mid-range shots with their hips pulled and their crazy shots gave Mo Ran a chance to rebound.
Half of the match ended.
Iverson contributed 17 points.
Mo Ran scored 20 points, 20 rebounded, and blocked seven shots!
It was the first time in the history of the Great Eastern Alliance that a super-sized double-double with a score of 20 20 had appeared in the first half of the game!
Other than the fact that his offensive methods were relatively simple, he could not find any flaws in Mo Ran's logo.
In fact…
Mo Ran's terrifying athletic ability and defensive mobility could completely cover up his lack of offensive methods.
Moreover, Mo Ran did not only know how to eat pancakes.
His physical talent and athletic ability were both historical, and his ball-handling ability was considered passable.
Images of defenders holding the ball from outside the three-point line and forcing their way into the penalty area to score were everywhere.
For Mo Ran, this method of scoring was already sufficient.
Was it Allen Iverson or Mo Ran?
Jerry West was suddenly caught in a dilemma.
The two young men from Georgetown had obvious strengths and weaknesses.
Iverson was only 183 cm, or even shorter.
However, his scoring ability was too strong, and he could almost play solo without any difference.
Mo Ran's independent attack method only had one move to break through the slam dunk.
However, his physical condition, athletic talent, and defensive awareness were all at the monster level.
West had only seen one player who could use the body of a center forward to perform technical movements like a fullback.
That guy's name was Hakeem Olajuwon!
However, Mo Ran's physical talent was even more outstanding than Great Dream's.
Olajuwon couldn't receive the ball from the three-point line. He took two big steps to the free-throw line and took off to score a dunk!
Iverson's height was a big problem that was almost impossible to make up for.
However, Mo Ran's lack of offensive methods could be made up for later.
Take a look at the legendary centers that appeared in the history of the Laker.
Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Jabbar, and so on!
Giving pointers to Mo Ran and improving his arsenal on the offensive side was simply sprinkling water!
More importantly…
Mo Ran's current talent market was far inferior to Iverson's. The possibility of trading him was higher!
It was a short intermission.
Jerry West had already made his decision.
No one knew that this was an ordinary match in the top eight of the Great Eastern Alliance.
A revival plan for the Laker Dynasty was quietly born!
No one knew?
Except for the old man who lit the cigar in Boston!
"You said Jerry went to Watson?”
Boston, North Shore Garden, General Manager's Office.
He had just lit a cigar.
Auerbach, who was dressed in red, slowly blew out smoke rings.""He couldn't have flown from Los Angeles to Watson just to watch the game.”
Jerry West could deceive the media and the fans.
But he could not fool Red Shirt!
The two of them had been old rivals between managers and players since ancient times.
The LOGO understood the bishop very well, and the bishop also understood the LOGO very well.
"I heard that there are two very eye-catching young men in Georgetown recently.”
Auerbach said to the team's manager, M.L. Kyle,""Kyle, look for videos of those two young men. I want to see which one Jerry has his eyes on.”
As the sworn enemy of the Yellow and Green War.
The Celtics were also waiting for a revival.
Why can't I, Auerbach, take down the newcomer that Jerry West has his eyes on?
An All-Star player as a bargaining chip?
The Celtics have one too!
