26. Iverson vs Marbury? Luke is the protagonist!

March 16th, US time.

The most important event in college basketball in the United States, the NCAA Championship, officially began.

As the No. 1 seed in the Big East, Georgetown University was 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, Luke only knows that this team will train Jordan and Khris Middleton in the future.

As for other impressions?

Sorry, Texas A&M was so unpopular.

The whole game, Iverson and he 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 would encounter next were not good ones.

Coach John Thompson laid out the NCAA table:

"Georgia Tech, Allen, you should be familiar with them."

That's right.

The opponent of Georgetown's top 32 was Georgia Tech.

Georgia Tech, this season was arguably the strongest season in team history.

Their leader was Stephen Marbury who had been on the streets of New York several times with Iverson!

The round of 32 between Georgetown and Georgia Tech.

It was 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 was 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 was 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 was worth mentioning that.

In that 3V3, Luke Hobbs 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 had 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 two of them!

But when the game started, the two commentators vaguely discovered that things seemed to be different from what they had imagined.

Jump ball.

Luke 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 knew that.

The tactics of Georgetown's first offense were Luke's giant fast break and Iverson's quarterback long pass.

Any team with an excellent point guard would 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 was no way to make a long pass for the first time, and Iverson was 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.

Luke soared into the sky and dunked the defender in the air.

Helped 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.

Luke flew behind Iverson, covering the sky with long arms, completely covering Marbury's shot space.

This ball shot, must eat hat!

Of course, Marbury was 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 Luke who landed and jumped again.

This scene, Stephen Marbury inexplicably felt familiar.

I don't think I've seen this plot before!

Hobbs didn't give his opponent a chance to breathe.

Overturning the opponent, controlling the ball, Luke owned the ball, and one-stop strikes the frontcourt!

Frontcourt.

Georgia Tech's two defensive players were originally on the inside, ready to guard against Luke's scoring in the restricted area.

But when they saw a 2.09-meter tall beast from the Georgetown, 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 monster!

"Boom!"

There was no defender in the penalty area, Luke 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 was still a lot of vacancy in this position.

For NCAA-level players, it's a 100% must-go goal.

Unless you meet Luke Hobbs!

"Bang!"

Just the second after the opponent's hand was thrown, Luke flew out from the flank, and the volleyball hat flew the fan to the second-tier stand!

After finishing the big cap, Luke also shook his finger at the opponent who was fooled by the cap.

This was the classic gesture of celebration after the legendary center of George Town - Dikembe Mutombo completed the block!

The two commentators at the scene looked at each other.

It seems that the protagonists of today's game were not quite like Marbury and Iverson.

Luke Hobbs was more like the protagonist!
