Allen Iverson's post-match declaration became the coverage slogan of The Washington Post + The Washington Times the next day.
It was worth mentioning that.
These two newspapers, by coincidence, used the footage of Luke Hobbs flying in the sky, waiting for Ray Allen's shot, as the cover of the newspapers.
No doubt.
This time he blocked the screen, it's likely to become the first famous scene in his career.
Not only that.
"Washington Post" in its own NCAA section, updated the latest 95-96 season NCAA most anticipated newcomer list.
Luke, who was only showing his face at first, rushed to the TOP1 position.
Surpassed Vince Carter, Antoine Jamison and others, and achieved a counterattack!
In addition to local newspapers in Washington, famous newspapers such as "New York Daily", "Los Angeles Times" and so on.
Also updated his top ten newcomers list.
Luke's name, for the first time, appeared in the NCAA section of these newspapers in the United States.
And, second only to Vince Carter, ranked No. 2 on the rookie list!
The New York Daily even gave him a close-up shot of Luke spreading his wings in the air on the NCAA section.
At the same time addendum:
"Georgetown's dream destroyer broke out of the cage!"
The sudden attention of the national media to Luke naturally attracted the attention of the management of each NBA team.
Especially when they don't know anything about him or his background.
A guy over 2.09 m height rolling up the Georgetown frenzy in the Big East.
This gimmick alone was enough to make NBA teams pay attention to the existence of Luke Hobbs.
For example, the two new teams that had just joined the league - The Toronto Raptors + The Vancouver Grizzlies.
They dispatched scouts to Georgetown University right away.
Of course, they are more to examine Allen Iverson -- 96's No. 1 pick.
By the way, let's take a look at Luke- this mysterious guy who rose to fame, what kind of magic power he has!
Not just these two teams.
Washington's local team, the Washington Bullets, also sent scouts to Georgetown University.
The Bullets' interior combination this season was Juwan Howard + Chris Webber.
Michigan's five tigers gathered in Washington, D.C., and it looked picturesque.
But in fact, the combination of the two was not ideal.
The shortcoming of insufficient height makes the Bullets' gorgeous insider into a paper tiger.
Because of this, they chose another inside player in the 1995 draft - Rasheed Wallace.
Unfortunately, Wallace can't solve the problem of insufficient inner height of the bullet.
Now, Luke's appearance made the Bullets shine.
A standard answer that can solve the problem of the team's interior height is about to come out.
Except for them.
Teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves, Milwaukee Bucks, New Jersey Nets, and Los Angeles Clippers sent scouts to watch Luke's every move.
Externally, their argument was to examine the top pick Allen Iverson.
But the whole world knew that there is only one champion.
There was only one team that had a chance to draft Iverson.
More teams were actually investigating Luke Hobbs!
December 24th, US time, Christmas Eve.
Georgetown University ushered in vacation time.
Luke originally planned to spend this boring vacation time training in the school arena.
But it was pulled out of the campus by Allen Iverson.
"It's Christmas Eve, man!"
While Iverson took Luke out, he complained: "These days, wouldn't there be people who would be training on the court today?"
Christmas Eve, and Christmas tomorrow.
In the United States.
This is the time for a good rest and vacation throughout the year.
Are you still training on the field during the new year?
"I'm not interested in these festivals."
Luke was very honest.
After he crossed over, he already knew that he was the standard for a classic transmigrater- no father, no mother.
Moreover, he was also unrelated and used to being alone in USA.
Don't you see how he skipped a grade, obviously if not for his cheat. He might be walking on the path of a scholar by now.
Christmas Eve?
Christmas?
To him, it was an ordinary day.
"Dude, I understand you, but now you are in my territory."
Iverson ignored this and patted his chest directly: "This Christmas this year, you must spend it with me!"
Iverson had already thought about the arrangements for Christmas day.
Take Luke to watch the NBA Christmas game at home.
This year's NBA Christmas battle, was the Houston Rockets VS Orlando Magic.
This was Hakeem Olajuwon vs Shaquille O'Neal!
Absolutely wonderful.
Of course, on Christmas Eve before Christmas, Iverson gave Luke a clear plan.
Shopping in Washington?
So boring!
Iverson took out part of his full scholarship and flew to New York with Luke!
"Hi, is that Allen Iverson?"
"Oooh! Allen! I'm your fan, can you sign me?"
"Alan! I love you!"
Even in New York, Iverson's popularity was quite high.
As the No. 1 pick in 1996, coupled with his cool style of play beyond the times.
Just not too much to the taste of New York fans.
"Are you Like Hobbs? That Dream Destroyer that has been hot in the news recently?"
In addition to following Iverson, New York fans had been hearing about Luke Hobbs recently.
And Luke mouth twitched when he heard that embarrassing nickname.
"You look more handsome than the newspaper, Luke, can I take a photo with you?"
A blond female fan took the initiative to stand beside Luke.
A group of her best friends also lined up to take photos with Luke in turn.
He looked at the male fans who wanted to sign autographs in front of him.
Let's take a look at the crazy girls around Luke.
The smile on Allen Iverson's face gradually solidified.
Although Luke was really good looking, due to his tanned skin.
But, aren't you handsome? !
Why don't I have female fans?!
"Alan, can I take a photo with you?"
Of course, how could our great Allen Iverson not have female fans.
In front of him, a woman in a tank took out her latest mobile phone with a camera function and smiled kindly.
"I'll shoot for you."
Luke, on the other side, pulled out of the female fandom, you could noticed some lipstick mark over his shirt.
Please take the initiative to help Iverson and his female fans to complete the photo!
His actions filled the goodwill of the pretty girls beside him as some boys who wanted to get cozy were gritting their teeth.
Luke was handsome and kind, and he was a perfect idol!
"Luke, I suddenly don't want to give you Christmas presents anymore."
Farewell to the group of fanatical fans, Iverson gave Luke a white look.
"Christmas gift?"
Luke froze for a moment.
Did Iverson bring himself to New York instead of a fan meeting.
Are you going to buy yourself a Christmas present?
"Listen, man, I think I'm such a good guy."
Iverson patted Luke's arm: "I know you don't have much income. I won't take your Christmas gifts this year."
"But when you get into the NBA and make a lot of money, you have to give me a bigger Christmas present!"
