NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 21 Thompson, the miraculous prophet!
America.

Washington, Verizon Center.

Game Day [-] of the Big East Tournament.

Georgetown vs. Connecticut at home!
Different from the previous game.

The on-site commentator of this game is a professional commentator from ESPN TV station.

You know, ordinary tour games will not attract ESPN's attention at all.

But Connecticut vs. Georgetown was an exception.

"Connecticut's biggest opponent this season is undoubtedly Georgetown!"

"Similarly, if Allen wants to help Georgetown win the Big East championship before entering the NBA, he must beat Connecticut!"

Before the start of the game, two commentators conducted pre-match analysis.

Connecticut's biggest opponent on the way to the championship is definitely Georgetown with the duo of Iverson + Lin Hong.

at the same time.

Iverson will enter the NBA after this season.

In the last season, if he wanted to help Georgetown win the championship, Connecticut was an obstacle he had to overcome.

Both teams have a reason to win over the other.

Therefore, this game was also declared by the media as an early rehearsal of the Big East Championship Game!
The pre-match interview session.

"Georgetown will not be our opponent last year, and it will be the same this year."

Eskimo defender Doron Schaefer said confidently.

"What? You mean that big man from the Celestial Dynasty?"

"Please, this joke is not funny at all.

They've got an extra celeb, and we've got Travis! "

Obviously, in Schaefer's view, Lin Hong's last two games are indeed eye-catching, but the Eskimos have Travis Knight inside.

How about holding a freshman player?

"If we want to win the championship, we must defeat today's opponent!"

at the same time.

In front of the Georgetown bench.

Team coach John Thompson called the players together: "Listen, boys, this season, we have a complete lineup."

"However, this is just a superficial lineup and has not been tested by a strong team, so I need you to win this game!"

After saying this, Coach John Thompson focused his attention on Iverson and Lin Hong.

Can the team go further?
It's all about these two young twin stars!
University of Connecticut, Ray Allen's alma mater.

In Lin Hong's memory, Ray Allen was selected to the All-American First Team in his last season in college and won the Big East Player of the Year award.

In other words, at this time Ray Allen has already shown his edge.

Doron Schaefer-An excellent guard with outstanding scoring ability.

The 96th overall pick in the second round of 2 was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers, but he did not enter the NBA.

Travis Knight - the young center of the best high school team in the United States!

This guy was the No. 96 pick in the first round of 29, was selected by the Chicago Bulls, and won the championship in 2000.

In other words, Connecticut has three true NBA players.

There are even lottery-level main players like Ray Allen!
"The strength of Connecticut need not be questioned, they are a strong contender for the Big East championship."

John Thompson began to pour chicken soup: "Boys, this is a tough battle, but it is also the best opportunity to test our training results."

Elite?

I fight the elite! !
"Ray Allen? So what's the matter?"

Lin Hong wasn't too impressed with the top three-pointer.

"Aaron, the whetstone to test our Ayrin combination is here!!"

Lin Hong stretched his waist, and put his long arms on Iverson's shoulders: "They are all called Allen, and I will let outsiders see which Allen is better!!"

It can make Iverson, who has always been rebellious, look so dignified.

The strength of Connecticut can be seen.

In fact, as the veteran team of the Big East, Connecticut's strength this season has improved to a higher level.

Ray Allen even ranks among the top three in the latest rookie rankings.

Plus point guard Doron Schaefer + Travis Knight.

With three main players at the NBA level, Connecticut's roster this year is undeniably strong and flawless.

There is no doubt that their goal this year is to win the national NCAA championship!
Warm up before the game.

Live commentary began to enliven the atmosphere.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the biggest highlight of this game is the Georgetown twin stars Iverson + Lin Hong vs. Eskimore Ray Allen + Knight."

"Lin Hong from the Celestial Dynasty will face a huge challenge today. Can he continue his explosive performance in the last game?"

"Let's wait and see oh my god, guess what we saw?"

The on-site commentator's voice seemed to be clamped, and his voice suddenly rose.

"Whoa!!"

"Wow!!"

There was thunderous applause, as well as bursts of exclamations and screams.

Lin Hong, who was practicing free throws, turned to look at Williams and Harrington who were also confused.

I saw that they were also confused, and spread their hands blankly.

Lin Hong looked around at the fans and found that they were all looking up at the direction of the player tunnel.

He also looked up at the player tunnel curiously.

A tall figure is coming towards you!

The person who came was the former legendary center of Georgetown University, the African mountain Mutombo.

As soon as he appeared on the stage, he immediately received a tsunami of cheers from the fans in the audience.

Amidst the cheers, Mutombo immediately came over and hugged his former mentor John Thompson.

"Coach, I heard that the team has another excellent center forward? He is known as the strongest insider this year!!"

"Well, it's really excellent!!"

"Oh~"

Uncle Mu raised his head, half-closed his eyes, and his eyes fell on Lin Hong who was warming up: "Is that guy? Is he Lin?"

"Yeah, Dikambe, Lin is great, he's one of the best physical gifts I've ever seen."

John Thompson also looked at Lin Hong, with a smile on his face: "You may not believe it."

"I have a hunch that Lin's future achievements may be the highest among you."

us? !
"Me? Alonzo? Patrick!"

"Oh, really?"

Obviously.

Uncle Mu was shocked by Thompson's words.

That's all for him, but Patrick is recognized as one of the four major centers in the league!

Is it possible for Lin Hong to surpass the four major centers?

how can that be!

"Of course, but it's just my hunch..."

John Thompson shrugged with a smile: "If he suffers a serious injury, or if he doesn't improve much technically, then I don't say it."

In Coach Thompson's view, Lin Hong's physical talent is extremely outstanding, and his athletic ability is off the charts.

In his many years of coaching career, he has never seen a center forward who can be as flexible as a forward guard.

The water is too deep for him to grasp! !

So surpassing Ewing, one of the four major centers, is Thompson's conservative estimate.

But, who knows what will happen in the future?

Whether Lin Hong can practice good shooting and whether he can avoid major injuries are the decisive factors that determine his future achievements.

But, anyway.

The words of the mentor Thompson directly filled Mutombo's expectations.

He would really like to see it.

According to his university mentor, in the future, he may even reach or even surpass Patrick's celestial giant.

What kind of data can be handed over in this focus battle.
