16. Flying in the sky, waiting for your hat!
"I don't think Luke should just be at No. 32."
United States, Washington.
Verizon Center Arena.
Allen Iverson, who was interviewed by the media before the game, said directly: "He is at least a lottery-level rookie, I said."
Even something like Kerry Kittles could rank in the top eight.
Why can't Luke enter the lottery?
In Iverson's view.
In the entire 96 class list.
Except myself, and the weirdo at Wake Forest.
Couldn't find a third, better guy than Luke!
Including Marcus Camby!
"So what do you think of your opponents in today's game?"
The reporters at the scene obviously won't let Iverson end the interview easily: "Ray Allen of the University of Connecticut has come to the top four of the rookie list, do you think he..."
"I don't think he's very good."
Before the reporter's question was finished, Iverson answered directly: "Next question."
Obviously.
A man who could enter Iverson's field of vision.
Except for the weirdos from Wake Forest and the monsters from Georgetown.
There is no third person!
Iverson's always reckless style had also made Connecticut superstar Ray Allen the focus of media interviews.
Compared to Iverson, Ray Allen was not so arrogant.
Regarding the opponent in today's game, he just said one sentence:
"We were last season's finalists, Georgetown was just the semifinals."
In other words:
Iverson was also stubborn, moving out the hard goods of the two teams last season, Connecticut was the better one!
The completely different styles of the leaders of the two teams made the game burst into flames.
The warm-up of the two sides ended soon, and the two teams started to stand on the court.
Georgetown:
Iverson + Luke + Jerome Williams and Othella Harrington, starting with a tool-man shooting guard.
Connecticut was easier.
Point guard Kevin Ollie.
Shooting guard Ray Allen.
Small forward, power forward, center: three tools.
Under the "friendly" gaze of Ray Allen and Allen Iverson, the centers of the two teams completed the jump ball.
There were no surprises.
Luke won by an absolute advantage and took the lead to put the ball in the hands of Allen Iverson.
Then.
After completing the jump ball and landing, Luke strode into the frontcourt!
Georgetown marvels at this season's classic Super Strike Back!
But unfortunately.
This time Iverson's long quarterback pass didn't appear.
Because at the same time that Iverson received the ball, Connecticut point guard Kevin Ollie was already on the defensive for the first time.
On the one hand, this was the whole court to defend Iverson, starting from the first minute of the game, consuming the AI's physical energy.
On the other hand, it also cut off Iverson's passing lanes.
At least nullified his classic opening quarterback long pass.
Sidelines.
Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun looked at his disciple with satisfaction.
Throughout the Big East.
The only one who could defend Allen Iverson from the first minute of the game might be Kevin Ollie!
Anyway.
The game between the two sides in the first round of the opening.
Connecticut vaguely had the upper hand.
Certainly.
Successfully blocking Georgetown's classic opening combo doesn't mean winning the game.
Iverson guarded the ball over half court, then turned into a court, flickered and flicked, threw off the defense, entered the penalty area, and threw a shot!
"DANG!"
Sadly, the throw went a little too far.
But that's okay!
Luke forced the basket, and through the Connecticut tool man center, tipped the dunk and scored!
2:0!
Georgetown's head start!
"Although the classic tactics of Georgetown's opening were blocked, there are still two difficult problems in front of Connecticut!"
"Yeah, whether it's Allen Iverson or Luke Hobbs, it still makes Connecticut's defense hard."
Iverson's breakthrough was still so sharp.
Hobbs was still invincible in the paint.
Coach Jim Calhoun was in no hurry, though.
Problem?
Connecticut had one here too!
Kevin Ollie held the ball over half court, and then directed his teammates to run from the top of the arc.
Ray Allen went around his teammates to cover without the ball, throwing off a number of defenders who were chasing him in a row.
Like a sharp blade unsheathed, abruptly ran out of the open space, and opened his hand for the ball!
"Bang!"
Starting with the basketball, Ray Allen directly raised his head and raised his arms!
However, he didn't wait for him to make a move.
In front of him, a huge body had already flew up!
Luke, who didn't know when to defend, didn't even wait for Ray Allen to make a shot, and he vacated the air with his long arms fully open!
He seems to be in the air, waiting for Ray Allen to deliver the cap!
The Connecticut superstar knew he would be capped, but he couldn't save it.
(A/N: Capped means Cover.)
Ray Allen's three-point shot had all been completed, and the ball was not shot, but also shot!
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
As soon as the basketball flew out, Luke, who was waiting, flew out in the air!
"OH! MY! GOD!!!"
With the basketball being fanned out of bounds, the fans at the scene jumped up directly from their seats!
"What did I just see?!"
"He is waiting in the air for Ray Allen to make a three-pointer and then complete the block?"
"No way, there is such an operation?!"
"Although this is incredible, it really happened before our eyes, and it's all true!"
"It's too exaggerated, since Luke's defense was in place, this ball was already outrageous, but I didn't expect that the final block was even more exaggerated!"
Ray Allen's off-ball movement abruptly threw off the other three Georgetown players except Iverson and Luke.
It's definitely a textbook run.
As a result, Luke deducted it and flew in, waiting for Ray Allen to deliver the hot pot ingredients to make a delicious hot pot table!
Outrageous!
Just f*cking outrageous!
On the sidelines, Coach John Thompson looked calm, but his heart was tumbling for a while.
Luke's terrifying athletic ability did not disappoint himself!
His eyes fell on Coach Jim Calhoun, who was stunned on the other side.
John Thompson's heart dropped.
Ray Allen?
Connecticut conundrum?
I'll explain it to you!
