March 16th, US time.
The most important event in college basketball in the United States, the NCAA Championship, officially begins!
As the No. 1 seed in the Big East, Georgetown University is ranked No. 2 in the nation.
The opponent in the first battle of the top 64 was Texas A&M.
This team from Texas, with basically no resistance, was defeated by Georgetown at halftime and surrendered.
As for Texas A&M, Mo Ran only knows that this team will train Jordan and Khris Middleton in the future.
As for other impressions?
Sorry, Texas A&M is so unpopular.
The whole game, Iverson and Mo Ran only played the first half.
Contributed a total of 50 points, 25 rebounds, 13 assists and 6 blocks and 3 steals.
It was basically just two guys who blew up the Texas A&M team.
"Next, our opponent is not easy to deal with."
Although successfully advanced to the round of 32.
But the opponents that Georgetown will encounter next are not good ones.
Coach John Thompson lays out the NCAA table:
"Georgia Tech, Allen, you should be familiar with them."
That's right.
The opponent of Georgetown's top 32 is Georgia Tech.
Georgia Tech this season is arguably the strongest season in team history.
Their leader is Stephen Marbury who has been on the streets of New York several times with Iverson!
The round of 32 between Georgetown and Georgia Tech.
It is also regarded as the battle of the strongest defenders in the 96th session.
"There is bound to be a battle between Stephen Marbury and Allen Iverson!"
Verizon Center, Washington, USA.
The top 32 of the 1996 NCAA Championship is about to begin.
ESPN's commentator, sitting on the sidelines of the commentary box: "But no one would have thought that this year's battle of the strongest defenders would come so early!"
"As far as I know, the showdown between Aaron and Stephen has never stopped since Rock Park in 1994."
Another commentator is from New York.
I also understand the most popular topics of New York street basketball in recent years.
In 1994 Rock Park, New York's son Marbury, lost to Allen Iverson in a street duel.
95 Christmas Eve battle, Stephen Marbury once again lost a 3V3 to Iverson.
It is worth mentioning that.
In that 3V3, Mo Ran was also a member of Iverson's team.
Although the two met NCAA this time, it was the first time they met each other in their college careers.
But the grudge between Marbury and Iverson has been forged for many years.
"There is no doubt that Allen Iverson has to go further with his team."
"And Stephen Marbury absolutely wants to get his revenge on Allen Iverson in this top 32 game!"
The protagonist of today's duel.
It must be Xiao Ai and Xiao Ma!
But when the game started, the two commentators vaguely discovered that things seemed to be different from what they had imagined.
Jump ball.
Mo Ran almost crushed his opponent and put the ball in the hands of Allen Iverson first.
The moment AI held the ball, Marbury had already grabbed it.
Obviously, any school that's going to meet Georgetown in the NCAA playoffs knows that.
The tactics of Georgetown's first offense were Mo Ran's giant fast break and Iverson's quarterback long pass.
Any team with an excellent point guard will let the team's point guard close to Iverson immediately after the opening game.
Prevent him from sending out accurate long quarterback passes.
Marbury did the same.
There is no way to make a long pass for the first time, and Iverson is not in a hurry.
Skillfully dribbling the ball over half court and reaching the top of the arc, Iverson quickly changed direction and entered the penalty area, sending the ball directly to the right side of the basket.
Mo Ran soared into the sky and dunked the defender in the air.
Help Georgetown get a head start.
Offensive and defensive transition, Georgia Tech offensive round.
In the face of Iverson's defense, Marbury chose to start with a quick walk, dashed into the inside line, and vacated the lever!
Almost the same scene as Locke Park reappeared.
Mo Ran flew behind Iverson, covering the sky with long arms, completely covering Marbury's shot space.
This ball shot, must eat hat!
Of course, the pony is not a fool, he decisively twisted the twist in the air and gave the ball to the center of the team who followed up.
The latter took a step with the ball and took off, intending to dunk.
Then, he was knocked to the ground by Mo Ran who landed and jumped again.
This scene, Stephen Marbury inexplicably felt familiar.
I don't think I've seen this plot before!
Mo Ran doesn't give his opponent a chance to breathe.
Overturning the opponent, controlling the ball, Mo Ran owns the ball, and one-stop strikes the frontcourt!
frontcourt.
Georgia Tech's two defensive players were originally on the inside, ready to guard against Mo Ran's scoring in the restricted area.
But when they saw a 2.10-meter tall beast from the Celestial Dynasty, it rushed over without any intention of slowing down.
The two young defenders simultaneously stepped aside.
They don't want to be smashed by the monsters of the Celestial Dynasty!
"boom!"
There was no defender in the penalty area, Mo Ran changed from three steps to two steps, and the advantages of long legs were vividly displayed.
Take two steps from the three-point line to the free throw line, take off and dunk with one arm!
"WooooW!!"
His deduction directly ignited the atmosphere of the fans at the scene.
The entire Verizon Center fell into a sea of jubilation.
In the next round, Stephen Marbury still did not believe in evil.
After entering the penalty area, the teammate who scored the ball again with a large gap in the middle distance wanted to assist the teammate to score in the mid-range shot.
To be honest, there is still a lot of vacancy in this position.
For NCAA-level players, it's a 100% must-go goal.
Unless you meet Mo Ran!
"Bang!"
Just the second after the opponent's hand was thrown, Mo Ran flew out from the flank, and the volleyball hat flew the fan to the second-tier stand!
After finishing the big cap, Mo Ran also shook his finger at the opponent who was fooled by the cap.
This is the classic gesture of celebration after the legendary center of George Town – DiCambe Mutombo completed the block!
The two commentators at the scene looked at each other.
It seems that the protagonists of today's game are not quite like Marbury and Iverson.
Mo Ran is more like the protagonist!
