The Boston Celtics were efficient.
The match between Georgetown and West virginia was not over yet.
The video of Mo Ran and Allen Iverson was already in front of Auerbach.
Auerbach had already noticed Allen Iverson, a young guard.
Even when the AI was still in high school, Red Shirt had paid attention to Iverson.
At that time, Auerbach hoped that Iverson could grow taller after entering university.
As long as they could surpass the 1.90-meter mark, AI would be the cornerstone of the Celtics 'future.
Regretfully.
A few years passed.
Iverson's height stopped at about 1.83 meters and did not go up.
In addition, the big guy from Wake Forest University was gradually showing his talent in the NCAA.
Auerbach's gaze gradually shifted from Iverson to Tim Duncan.
Looking at Iverson's college performance a few years later, Auerbach still had to say,"
If Iverson could grow taller, he would make a career in the NBA.
It was a pity.
His height was determined by the heavens and could not be changed.
"This is the young man called Mo Ran?”
After lamenting Iverson, Auerbach looked at Mo Ran's game video.
"Yes, sir. This is Mo Ran.”
Coach M.L. Kyle introduced,""According to the data in our hands, Mo's height is the same as Tim Duncan's, 2.11 meters.”
"And in terms of wingspan, Mo also has a wingspan of 2.26 meters.”
Although in terms of wingspan, Duncan's 2.30 meters was still longer than Mo Ran's.
But it was precisely because of Duncan's long arm span that it was difficult for him to dribble smoothly.
On the other hand, Mo Ran was completely different.
His arm span was very long, but not too long at the same time.
This allowed him to dribble the ball like a point guard.
This was fully demonstrated in the video.
"Mo Ran's physical resistance is outstanding, which hides the fact that his dribbling ability is outstanding.”
Auerbach looked very carefully.
Mo Ran definitely had outstanding ball handling skills.
However, in NCA-level games, he did not need to attack like this often.
A simple and crude slam dunk after a breakthrough was enough to solve most of the problems.
"That's right, sir. Mo Ran's athletic ability is also much better than Tim's.”
"You might not believe it if I tell you.”
"This season, Georgetown University's first offense strategy has been called by the fans: Giant Quick Attack!"
" Giant's Quick Attack?"
" What does that mean?" Auerbach was interested.”
"This giant refers to Mo Ran, and the so-called giant fast attack is when Mo Ran completes the jump ball and directly attacks the front field!”
M. L. Kyle, fast-forwarded the tape and found the opening shot of the Georgetown game.
After Mo Ran easily defeated his opponent with a jump ball, he took large strides to charge into the front field.
It was so fast that even the camera couldn't keep up.
Immediately after, Iverson's long pass from the quarterback went through the entire field and into Mo Ran's hands.
The Great Xia giants stepped on the three-point line and directly combined the ball. They rushed to the free-throw line in two big steps and took off into the air. They violently dominated the frame!
Although the distance between the three-point line and the free-throw line in the NCAA was closer than that in the NBA, the distance between the three-point line and the free-throw line was also smaller.
However, Mo Ran's exaggerated performance of only taking two steps from the three-point line to the free-throw line still stunned Auerbach.
Compared to Tim Duncan.
Mo Ran's athletic talent was indeed more outstanding.
This was not to belittle Duncan.
To be honest, Tim Duncan used to be a flying demon of Wake Forest, and he had excellent athletic talent.
But in front of Mo Ran, he was indeed at a disadvantage!
"There's also Mo Ran's defensive ability, sir. Mo Ran's defensive area is similar to Tim's. They can both support the entire team's penalty area defense by themselves.”
In addition to Tim Duncan's rock-solid offensive ability, his defensive attributes were equally outstanding.
The defense of the basic skills could even be said to have its own defensive system!
It was because Duncan had an integrated offense and defense, and he was extremely mature.
That was why he was the unshakable top rookie on the Rookie Rankings of the 1996s!
Then, he looked at Mo Ran.
In addition to blocking out the sky in the penalty area, he also rushed to the outside line and blocked Ray Allen's defensive shots.
Didn't this mean:
Mo Ran not only dominated the penalty area.
He could even expand the defensive area and take into account the defense of the outer perimeter at the same time?
If that was the case…
Mo Ran's defensive coverage was even better than Tim Duncan's!
"Let's stop for a while."
Even though this Mo Ran's videotape had given Auerbach a huge impact, Red Specter was still very steady."
"Kyle, this is all just our assumption.”
"We're just exaggerating the abilities that Mo has displayed based on the videos of his matches in the Great Eastern Alliance.”
In other words.
The Celtics analyzed Mo Ran's future possibilities.
These might not come true.
However, this was also a reflection of Mo Ran's potential.
He did have the potential to surpass Tim Duncan.
"I know why Jerry flew from Los Angeles to Watson.”
Auerbach took a deep puff of his cigar and slowly blew out a ring of smoke.""The Laker is about to make their move. Their target is definitely Mo Ran!”
Maybe now.
Allen Iverson was the superstar of Georgetown, the absolute leader.
In reality.
Mo Ran's upper limit was far from what Allen Iverson could compare to.
The key to the revival plan of the Los Angeles Clippers must be the potential of the Great Xia giants.
"Bishop, what should we do now?”
M.L. Kyle reacted quickly." If they trade chips, it seems that they can trade more players?”
The Celtics also had All-Star players.
But there was only one of them.
And there were three of them in the team!
If they really wanted to snatch a hot rookie, the Los Angeles Clippers would have more chips.
"Can we only rely on trading?”
Auerbach gave M.L. Kyle a look.""Kyle, use your smart little brain.”
No need to rely on trading?
Coach Kyle fell into deep thought and suddenly had an epiphany.
"You mean…Are we going to ruin it?"
With three All-Stars, they would definitely make it into the playoffs.
Since they didn't have enough players to pick Mo Ran, the Laker had to trade to get this super rookie.
But the Celtics were different.
The Celestials had a lot of things to do, and they basically didn't have a chance to make the playoffs this season. The pick in their hands was a natural lottery.
In order to ensure that Mo Ran was selected without any risk.
Why couldn't the team's record be worse, so bad that they had a chance to get the first pick?
Knowing that Tim Duncan would not participate in the 1996 draft.
The top scorer picked Allen Iverson and traded him down to get Mo Ran and the rest of the resources.
Wasn't it still wonderful?
"Then do we need to watch Mo Ran's match live?”
"Of course not."
Auerbach quickly denied." Listen, from now on, let's not appear in any topic related to rookies.”
"If you want to achieve great things, there's no need to be so high-profile.”
Look at Jerry West.
He thought that he had deceived everyone.
In reality, the Celts had discovered a piece of unpolished jade.
Auerbach smiled as he watched M.L. Kyle leave.
Red Shirt even began to think,"
When the team took down Mo Ran in 1996.
Let it rot for another year.
After taking down Tim Duncan in 1997 and forming the two towers in the paint.
Should he make a personal comeback to satisfy his coaching addiction?
