Kapitel 4: 4. Warm up and smash the rebound!
"Let me introduce to you, this is the rookie player that the team has added this year - Luke Hobbs."
Georgetown University's on-campus arena.
Team training day.
Before training, Coach John Thompson introduced Luke, a new member of the team, to all the regular players:
"Luke Hobbs is only freshman this year."
"It is also the only freshman player of the team who has been promoted to a regular player this year."
After John Thompson's introduction, the players of Georgetown University all turned their attention to this big man who was 2.09 meters tall.
"Oh, is this guy who blew up all the freshmen the other day?"
"I heard that his nickname is Dream Destroyer?"
"More than that, I remember he made his opponents beaten into tears that day."
"Hahaha, Jerome, if you stand in front of him, you might only cry!"
"It's like you won't be beaten and cry, Othella, look at his arm, it is longer than your leg!"
Take a closer look at Luke's body hardware.
The players at Georgetown University were discussing.
In particular, the team's two inside players - Jerome Williams and Othella Harrington, even closely exchanged.
In the NCAA Championship last season, it was precisely because of these two brothers that they were penetrated by Wake Forest University insider Tim Duncan 1V2.
That stopped Georgetown from the championship.
This year was good, the team finally had a serious big man inside.
At least after meeting Tim Duncan, it won't be the two of them who get blasted.
"Hello, Luke, I'm Allen Iverson, you should have known me long ago."
The players talked a lot. As the team leader, Iverson stepped forward and said hello to Luke: "Welcome to the Georgetown Exclamation Team."
"From now on, I hope you can give everything for the team to win the championship."
Iverson had a little relationship with him before.
And no, he's not gay!
Disgusting!
When the newcomers reported that day, Luke's words gave Iverson a good first impression of him.
At least on the first day of joining the official team, he was covered by AI, and no one in the team dared to trouble him.
If this was replaced by other freshmen, they might already be cleaning the locker room for the seniors who were sophomores and juniors.
However, Luke was soon also quite critical of the old students, obediently shut their mouths.
Had the height of a center, but the top dynamic talent of a striker.
It's no wonder that a freshman player of this level was directly promoted to the team's official roster.
"Guys, stop for a while!"
At the end of a morning of team training, John Thompson clapped his hands and called the players together.
"Listen to me, in two days, we're going to North Carolina."
"North Carolina University, invited us to a pre-season game with them."
"Yes, you heard it right, that kid from Michael Jordan graduated from North Carolina."
When it comes to the University of North Carolina, it was impossible not to mention the basketball god Michael Jordan.
When it comes to Jordan and Georgetown University, there were really endless stories to tell.
Thinking back to the 1982 NCAA Finals.
Michael Jordan, who was still a freshman at the time, was in the decisive moment of North Carolina VS Georgetown.
Hit a key mid-range shot to help North Carolina beat Georgetown by 1 point.
Under Patrick Ewing's lost gaze, North Carolina became the NCAA Tournament champion that year!
"Even if it's just a warm-up match, I can't accept losing."
Don't say anything to John Thompson: It's a warm-up game, friendship first, games second and so on.
When encountering North Carolina, there was only one choice:
Hammer to the death!
However, although this was a warm-up game that cannot be lost, John Thompson still adheres to the principle of training his disciples first.
Several team starters led by Allen Iverson were not on the team's activation list.
"Luke, you are the absolute core of the team's warm-up match."
After John Thompson read the activation list for the team's warm-up, he called Luke: "The task of winning is up to you!"
"I will handle it."
Luke patted his chest confidently: "If you don't win double digits in the warm-up match, count me as a loser!"
Lose if you don't win by double digits? !
All players had black question mark on their faces.
This new kid in the team this year was too confident!
Allen Iverson liked Luke's character.
But, confidence is one thing.
Whether it can be used to make confidence in the performance of the court is another matter.
Iverson certainly expected Luke to deliver on the confidence.
Just, it's not easy.
The daily training at Georgetown University is methodical.
On October 10, US time, the entire Georgetown team arrived in North Carolina.
Go to the famous NCAA basketball school - the University of North Carolina!
After a brief visit to the campus scenery of North Carolina.
The players soon arrived at the Dean Smith Center, home of the University of North Carolina.
At this time, the Dean Smith Center was already full of people.
Fans in the stands, wearing North Carolina's iconic blue and white jerseys, cheered for the home team.
"Vince! Another deduction!"
"Big windmill! We're going to see the big windmill!"
"Oh! Here it is! It's Vince's signature windmill dunk!!"
North Carolina supporters shouted passionately at the team's freshman who dunked in the warm-up half.
Following the eyes of the fans, Luke saw the teenager wearing the North Carolina No. 15 jersey at a glance.
At this time, the 18-year-old North Carolina freshman-Vince Carter!
The super rookie who just won the slam dunk contest championship in the 1995 McDonald's National High School Slam Dunk Contest, beating Paul Pierce.
He was enjoying the cheers of the fans in the audience, showing his ability to fly in the sky again and again.
Tomahawk one step inside the free throw line.
Big windmill dunks.
A 360-degree dunk in the air.
And easy to extreme crotch changed hands.
Carter did it all, as easy as it should be.
It may not be as powerful as the future Carter but the stretch of these movements already had the taste of the peak period.
"Cut, what's the big deal?"
"Yeah, isn't it just a few ordinary dunks, nothing extraordinary."
"Dunks like Vince Carter, we're sick of seeing them these days!"
The people in Georgetown, who were almost ignored by the fans on the scene, went to their warm-up half.
Jerome Williams got close to Luke for the first time:
"Hey Luke, let these hillbillies in North Carolina see what a special dunk is!"
Just like everyone in Georgetown said.
With Like Hobbs joining the team's training these days.
The tricks like Carter's were all left over from Luke's deduction.
It's time for the unseen North Carolina fans at the Dean Smith Center to opened their eyes.
"Allen, give me the ball."
He exactly had this intention.
Too lazy to take off his jacket, he walked near the center line and caught the basketball from Allen Iverson.
Simply took two shots on the spot, found the feeling, and then started it directly!
"Boom! Boom!!"
The long legs were exaggerated and hidden explosives talent exploded.
From the midline to the 3-point line, Luke dribbled the ball only twice, then took the ball for a big stride!
Two strides to the free throw line.
He took advantage of the trend!
With his arms rounded, the powerful windmill dunks heavily, bombing the basket!
"Boom!"
All North Carolina fans were still paying attention to the Carter's dunk show.
A muffled sound made everyone's eyes gather in the warm-up half of Georgetown University.
Under the explosive impact of Luke and the stunned gaze of the fans.
The rebound of Dean Smith's center, with a tragic hum, exploded in an instant!
Luke had smashed the rebound!
