"Mo Ran knocked Tim out. When he turned around, this big guy from Wake Forest used his best wiping board to retaliate!”
"Hahaha, I like to see this kind of mutual response between young people!”
"Regardless of whether George Town or Wake Forest wins in the end, this semi-final is destined to go down in history!”
At Soldier Field in Chicago.
Mo Ning and Mutumbo laughed nonstop.
As seniors, they were naturally happy to see such a promising young inside player showing off on the NCAA stage.
Of course.
As the seniors of Georgetown, they hoped that…
Mo Ran was the ultimate winner of this epic battle!
"Whoa, this number 21 from Wake Forest University is quite something.”
Central TV's broadcasting studio.
Zhang Lisheng also noticed Duncan.""This ball looks like a graze. There must be a lot of people who think it's a test of luck.”
"This isn't a test of luck. He's aiming to wipe the board.”
"This ball came prepared!"
Although Zhang Liyi had limited information on hand, he didn't know the technical characteristics of Duncan.
However, he was once the scoring champion of the World Championship. He was a real veteran.
It was obvious at a glance that Duncan was intentionally wiping the board!
"Coach Zhang, look at today's match. Did Mo Ran meet an opponent?”
Sun Zhengping added in a timely manner,"As far as I know, he has never let the opposing players taste the sweetness in the entire knockout stage.”
" That's for sure. At this stage of the semi-finals, Mo Ran's opponents definitely have some skills…"
Zhang Liyi then gave a detailed introduction of Duncan.
With Mo Ran's help, Duncan became the first well-known NCAA player in Great Xia's basketball history, other than a Georgetown player.
Zhang Heli and Sun Zhengping's biased and reasonable explanations were not bad.
The match between Wake Forest and Georgetown was in full swing.
More than six minutes passed in the first half.
On Georgetown's side, Allen Iverson was a little too headstrong. He was not efficient and missed a few chances to play solo.
Fortunately, he had Mo Ran to back him up.
After Duncan grabbed the offensive rebound and jumped twice to score a quick basket.
Mo Ran had already scored 14 points and had six rebounded and two blocked shots.
It looked like he was aiming for a double or even a triple!
On the other hand, at Wake Forest.
Duncan's defense was a little tight.
After entering the NBA, Duncan specialized in dealing with all kinds of jumping players inside.
For example, Kenyon Martin.
But Martin was five centimeters shorter than Duncan, and he didn't have an advantage in physical confrontation.
More importantly, Martin's athletic ability was nothing compared to Mo Ran's.
Mo Ran had the same height as Duncan, a similar wingspan, and even more explosive athletic talent physical resistance.
It was reasonable for the third-year Duncan to lose his composure when defending against him.
Although the defense was tight, Duncan did not show any mercy on the offense.
Mo Ran contributed 14 6 2, while Duncan also scored 10 points, 4 rebounded, and blocked two shots.
These two big players were obviously aiming for a double-double!
During the first half's official time-out, Georgetown's current score was 22:18, 4 points ahead of Wake Forest.
"Tim, don't let that guy get into the paint so easily!”
On the bench of Wake Forest.
Coach Dave Odom directly told Duncan,"Today, Georgetown has allowed Mo Ran to pass the ball from mid-range to long-range. Don't give him space when he goes down!”
Just like Dave Odom said.
As Iverson's efficiency today was not very good, in order to prevent him from getting carried away, many of Georgetown's attacks chose to go through Mo Ran's hands.
He also pulled out more from the penalty area and acted as the center of the transmission ball.
After the pass, Mo Ran could choose to go down to the low post, finish or steal the board.
In Dave Odom's opinion, Mo Ran was invincible in the penalty area.
However, once he left the three-second zone and confined Mo Ran at a mid-range, his effectiveness would be greatly reduced!
As for how to limit Mo Ran to the middle and long distance, it would be a test of Tim Duncan's defense!
"I understand, coach."
Duncan responded calmly.
However, Dave Odom knew better than anyone that his disciple was going to use his true ability to restrict Mo Ran!
After the official pause ended, Dave Odom looked at Mo Ran with pity.
The gap between the top rookies in history and the rising stars would probably be revealed in the next round!
Wake Forest has the ball.
After Duncan received the ball at the free-throw line, he passed it to the outside line's Lalu. The latter swayed and scored two points from the middle distance.
20:22, Wake Forest's difference was close to 2 points!
Attack and defense switch.
George Town attacked.
Allen Iverson pushed past the half court and first passed the ball to Mo Ran, who was standing on the right side of the free throw line.
Mo Ran raised the ball high above his head and observed his teammates 'movements.
Wake Forest's defense was very tight. Iverson was marked by two people and had no space to receive the ball.
The rest of the Wake Forest players defended a false joint defense.
Without a doubt, this was a 1v1 between Duncan and Mo Ran!
"Wake Forest has set a trap for Mo Ran. They are trying to lure Mo Ran into starting a one-on-one with Tim Duncan from mid-range!”
Alonzo Mourning saw through Wake Forest's defensive setup at a glance.
"Coach Dave Odom didn't waste this official time-out. He gave our junior a multiple-choice question!”
Even though Mourning and Mutumbo knew very well that Mo Ran also had a certain offensive ability with the ball.
But you have to know that before today, the defenders Mo Ran faced did not have such strong defensive attributes as Duncan.
The same height, longer arm span, excellent horizontal movement, and sufficient physical resistance.
Duncan was probably the strongest defender Mo Ran had ever faced in his possession mode!
"If I were Mo, I might choose to pass the ball and then go down.”
Uncle Mutombo was still giving Mo Ran a trick." Or maybe we can play a hand-to-hand pick-and-roll with Alan…"
However, before Mutumbo could finish all the options, Mo Ran, who was holding the ball from mid-range, gave his answer!
"Bang!"
The Great Xia Giant made two consecutive passes with the ball in his crotch, then changed direction to make room for him to start. He took two big steps forward and went straight for the penalty area!
Tim Duncan followed closely. His long legs were not for nothing!
"Boom!"
Mo Ran, who had carried the defender to the penalty area, took a step into the air!
Deng Daidai also flew up and spread his arms at the same time, completely blocking Mo Ran's path!
Mutumbo and Mourning stopped talking.
Based on their many years of experience, if Mo Ran's ball were to go head-on, there was a high chance that it would be blocked!
The next moment, Uncle Mu and Mo Ning were dumbfounded!
Under the watchful eyes of more than 43,000 fans, Mo Ran, who was completely covered by Duncan, extended his long arms and swung the ball into the basket!
After obtaining the enhanced version of Alpha Bro's physical attributes, Mo Ran had always wanted to find an opportunity to try out the feeling of using the receding battle axe.
Helplessly, he had never encountered such a level of defense, leaving him with nowhere to unleash his martial arts.
Now, after meeting Duncan, Mo Ran finally found an opportunity."
He leaned back and swung his battle axe!
