"Coach Zhang, do you think Mo Ran can touch the top of the backboard?”
After ending the interview with Mo Ran, he was shown kissing the basket.
Su Qun was full of gains as he communicated with Zhang Liyi beside him,"" Look at how high he jumped when he kissed the basket just now, plus those long arms…"
"I think it should be fine.”
Old Master Zhang gave a direct answer.""With Xiao Mo's jump, his long arms, and the edge of the backboard? It's definitely not a problem!"
Even though there were no legends about the top edge of the backboard in the basketball circle of Great Xia.
However, in Zhang Liyi and Su Qun's understanding.
Mo Ran was definitely a man who could challenge the top of the backboard!
The basket was already kissed, so how far could the top edge of the backboard be?
At the same time.
In the hotel where they were staying in Kentuckia.
Antoine Walker and the others were interviewed by ESPM before the final.
The attention that the University of Kentuckya received this year fluctuated.
Before the start of the semifinals between Georgetown and Wake Forest, Kentuckian was the first to advance to the finals.
At that time, it was the hottest time of the entire season for Kentuckian.
Walker thought that spring had arrived.
However, after George Town defeated Wake Forest.
Instantly, Kent became a passerby.
Georgetown and Mo Ran became the hot topic of discussion among the media and fans.
There were even media outlets that skipped the NCAA finals and started discussing whether Mo Ran would be the top draft pick this year!
This was not treating Kentuckian as a dish!
"We all know that Georgetown is the biggest favorite to win the championship this year.”
"But who doesn't have a dark horse dream?”
The NBA even had Black Eight.
Why don't you give me a surprise attack on Georgetown from Kentuckytown?
Don't forget.
The heat was fatal!
It wasn't just Antoine Walker who thought so.
The entire Kentuckian team accepted an interview with ESPM with the idea of a dark horse making a comeback.
Except for the head coach of the Kentuckian team, Rick Pitino!
"People seem to be mistaken about the nature of college basketball.”
In an interview with ESPM, the Kentuckian manager shook his head and sighed.""The biggest difference between the NBA and the NCAA is: The star player doesn't have the final say here."
In Rick Pitino's opinion,"
The NBA might advocate individual heroism.
However, the NCAA was more particular about teamwork.
The level of players on every NBA team was not too different. After all, they were all professionals.
However, the NCAA was different.
Take the two teams that had already been eliminated from the semifinals as an example.
In Wake Forest, other than Tim Duncan, there was only Lalu. The rest were tools.
Looking at the University of California, other than Sharif Rahim, the others were all tools.
Don't they have any star players?
Of course there was.
However, the overall standard of their team was relatively low. This was the reason why they could not go further.
On the other hand, the University of Kent.
Their starting five-man team was all at NBA standards!
That's right.
Rick Pitino could confidently say," The starting five players of his team all had the strength of the NBA!
He could even say,"
Looking at all the other teams in the NCAA this season, not a single one could have five NBA-level players in the starting lineup!
Not even Georgetown!
"College basketball is a team game.”
At the end of the interview, Rick Pitino emphasized,""Our opponents in the finals have obvious shortcomings, but we don't.”
"So, the real favorite to win the championship isn't George Town's surprise.”
The biggest favorite to win the championship should be the starting five tigers, the Kentuckian Wildcats, who did not have any tools!
Rick Pitino's interview was reported by many media outlets in the Eagle Country.
Some basketball experts even felt that Pitino's point of view was not without reason.
"Coach Rick Pitino has a deep understanding of the NCAA. He has seen through the nature of college basketball.”
"And this is a very simple barrel effect.”
How much water a wooden bucket could hold was not determined by how long the longest board was, but by how long the shortest board was!
Obviously.
Compared to the length of the shortest board.
Kentuckian grew up in Georgetown.
If Rick Pitino's theory was correct.
Just by comparing the bucket models of the two teams, Kentuckian was already the winner!
" Mo, recently, Rick Pitino, the head coach of the University of Kentuckia, has been very popular with his NCAA barrel model theory. It has also been recognized by many basketball experts.”
The next day, an ESPM reporter who came to the hotel where Georgetown University was staying for an interview threw a question at Mo Ran.
"Have you ever heard of the 'NCAA barrel model theory'?”
"Do you think the team is clearly inferior to their opponents?”
NCAA bucket model theory.
It was a combination of Rick Pitino's interview and the barrel effect.
Of course, Mo Ran had heard of it before. After all, the interview was broadcasted on ESPM news last night.
This morning, Coach John Thompson brought the replay and let the entire Georgetown team watch it again.
Regarding this so-called bucket model theory.
Mo Ran only wanted to say,"It sounds very reasonable, but it's completely nonsense!"
A basketball match was not a competition of water storage capacity between two buckets!
In the face of absolute crushing strength, the so-called team was superior to an individual. It was pure nonsense.
Obviously.
Mo Ran felt that his strength alone was enough to crush the entire Kentuckian team.
Not to mention, there was Allen Iverson in Georgetown!
"Of course I've heard of Coach Rick Pitino's theory. He's an excellent coach.”
Mo Ran's answer to ESPM's question was very direct.""As for what our team is obviously inferior to our opponents, it might be our coach. He's not as eloquent as Coach Rick Pitino.”
Rick Pitino was playing in the NCAA, and he even brought out the management model.
In comparison, Coach John Thompson was indeed slightly inferior.
In Coach John Thompson's mind, basketball was a game where the real thing happened on the court.
There was a lot of chatter before the game. They couldn't win the game on the field.
Then everything would be in vain!
In Mo Ran's opinion.
Perhaps this was the biggest difference between the two teams!
The pre-match interviews between the two teams caused a heated discussion in the Eagle Nation basketball circle.
Was the nature of the NCAA really as simple as Coach Rick Pitino's analysis?
Perhaps, the outcome would be revealed in the finals!
At the same time.
The NCAA finals also attracted the attention of many NBA stars.
Mutumbo and Mourning, the two Georgetown brothers, would definitely be there to watch the match.
As the seniors of these two old brothers.
The King of New York, Patrick Ewing, finally expressed his stance in front of the media."
He would be there personally as a guest commentator for the finals, cheering for Georgetown University and Mo Ran!
"I have every reason to believe that Mo Ran and Allen will be in front of me at the garden.”
"Once again, for Georgetown University, win the NCAA championship!”
In the face of multiple media interviews, Ewing was full of confidence."Listen, guys, no one knows this year's Georgetown marvel better than I do.”
"They will beat the kittens of the Kitty Wildcats by double digits in the finals!”
