Canbi couldn't be blamed for being under immense pressure today.
After all, this was the state of Mass., the territory where Canbi had been famous for a long time.
And it was at the North Shore Garden, the home of the Boston Celtics, the only NBA team in Boston!
Relax, Marcus."
John Calipari, the head coach of the University of Mass. and a famous NCAA coach, walked behind his student."This is your home ground, understand?”
"Show me the state you were in when you were in Mass!”
Although North Shore Garden was not the home stadium of Georgetown or Mass.
But it was still in Mass.
Most of the fans were from the University of Mass.
This was also considered the second home ground of the University of Mass.
This season, Canby's points had reached the highest score of 20 points in his three-year college career.
Especially when they were playing at home, Canby's average score was close to 25 points per game.
Calipari wanted Canby to treat North Shore Gardens as the home field of UMass.
He was in his best condition.
Defeating Allen Iverson and Mo Ran, personally ending the debate about the top scorer of the 1996 class and the strongest player inside the post!
"Listen to me, Marcus, if you can lead the team to beat Georgetown today.”
Calipari began to skillfully draw a pie.""You will be the only candidate for the top pick of the 1996 season.”
"The Boston Celtics have a terrible record this year. They are likely to be the owners of the first draft pick.”
"You might very well be the number one show they need!”
As long as Canbi personally ended the topic of being the top scorer.
He was the top scorer of the 1996 class!
The Green Army had a poor record this year and basically locked in the number one lot.
Who knows, North Coast Garden might really be Canbi's home in the future!
"I understand what you mean, Coach Calipari.”
With the coach's guidance, the pressure on Canby was reduced.
Just like Calipari said.
The NCAA officials chose the venue for the quarter-finals to be held at Boston's North Shore Gardens.
Perhaps he was really trying to create momentum for himself!
He had defeated his competitor, the best inside player of the year, head-on.
He had personally defeated the 96th draft pick's nemesis, Iverson.
Canbi had to win this match.
And it was a double harvest of personal data and team records!
The pre-match warm-up between the two teams ended quickly, and the starting players of the two teams stood on the field.
"Mo, don't let Marcus beat you up.”
Stepping onto the grounds of North Shore Garden, Iverson teased Mo Ran,""He's the strongest post player in the Class of '96.”
"Aren't I the strongest in the Class of 96?”
Mo Ran's mouth had never lost to AI's."Aren, don't forget that even you were pressed to the ground by me.”
"Can we not talk about that duel?”
Iverson's smile instantly froze.
"Beat up that big guy from Mass, the kind that's even more ruthless than me!”
"You don't have to tell me, I'll do the same.”
Mo Ran gave Iverson a high-five with a smile on his face and then stood in the middle line.
On the Mass team's side, the one who fought to the center line and Mo Ran's jump ball was naturally Marcus Camby, the most powerful player in the 96th class!
"You are Mo Ran?"
Looking at the Great Xia player in front of him who was about the same height as him, Canbi said with a serious face,""Good luck today."
"You too ~"
After saying that, Mo Ran turned his attention to the basketball in the referee's hand.
After the friendly greetings from both sides, the referee threw the ball high.
The match between Mass. and Georgetown had officially begun!
In the jump ball segment, Canbi, who was also a 2.11-meter tall man, leaped with all his might, but he was still a level lower than Mo Ran in height.
Mo Ran defeated his opponent with a jump ball, and George Town took the lead in obtaining the right to attack the ball for the first time in the opening game.
"Bang!"
As soon as he landed, Mo Ran didn't care who his opponent was. He took large strides and charged forward.
Georgetown's classic Giants 'fast attack!
"It's not that easy!"
Following which, Canbi, who landed, also took large strides back to defend his own half.
In terms of athletic talent, Camby was definitely the best among the players in the post. He had also rushed back to defend and chase after the ball.
In fact, Canbi had already thought of what kind of posture he would use later.
"Sou!"
But unfortunately, Canbi was dumbstruck.
When Allen Iverson's long pass from the quarterback flew over his head.
The University of Mass 'super inside player only managed to catch up to the three-point line.
Meanwhile, Mo Ran had already reached the free-throw line!
"Boom!"
Mo Ran steadily caught Iverson's long pass and flew into the air. He clasped his hands behind his back and helped the team get two points first!
"This is George Town's most skilled opening tactic this season!”
"Mo Ran's giant counterattack and Allen Iverson's long pass!”
" It's worth mentioning that Mo Ran defeated Marcus Canby in the jump ball segment. He also completely shook off the superstar from the University of Mass."
The two veteran commentators analyzed the situation.
Just from the attack and defense of the opening round.
Mo Ran had the upper hand in terms of speed and jumping.
It wasn't even an exaggeration to say that he was completely crushed!
At least in terms of athletic ability, Mo Ran was definitely superior to Marcus Canby.
However, he couldn't speak too early.
Canbi had failed to stop Mo Ran at the start, so perhaps he would use his own offense to break Mo Ran's defense and get back at him when he returned to the offense.
The offense and defense switched, and the University of Mass attacked.
The team's point guard carried the ball past half the court, stopped the ball at the top of the arc, and waited for Camby to fall inside before sending the ball in.
Although Canby's offensive ability was average after entering the NBA, he was indeed a big killer in the NCAA.
"Bang!"
Holding the ball in the low post, Camby faced Mo Ran with his back facing him. He lowered his shoulders continuously and tried to squeeze through the defenders, turning around and dunking to score.
Unfortunately, Mo Ran, who was defending him, was not moved at all.
Canbi's continuous shoulder-lowering attacks were completely unable to shake Mo Ran in the slightest!
Other than speed and jumping, Canbi was also at a disadvantage in terms of strength.
However, that was fine!
In terms of strength, Canbi still had a small hook in his hand.
Unable to do anything after continuously pushing his back, Canbi turned his body sideways and raised his arm, using his little hook!
"Sou!"
In the next moment, Mo Ran, who had been waiting for a long time, bent his knees and leaped up.
A pair of long arms intercepted the ball in the air and grabbed it with one hand!
The advantages of speed, arm span, and giant palm were vividly displayed in this grab.
In the short one minute of the opening.
Mo Ran's speed, jumping, bouncing speed, arm span, giant palm, and defensive awareness were all displayed in the most direct manner.
This kind of Tianhu opening even made him somewhat suspicious.
This Marcus Canbi couldn't have been found somewhere, right?
