Chapter 38 Mourning + Mutombo watch the battle! The first live broadcast in the history of the Celestial Dynasty starts!

Mo Ran's head-to-head win over Marcus Camby didn't just put him in the lottery on Sports Illustrated's rookie forecast list.

It made him the cover of many American newspapers and magazines on the second day.

For these media, it is not the point that Mo Ran led his team to eliminate Camby.

The point is:

Mo Ran overturned the basketball hoop at the North Shore Garden Arena!

"New York Daily" decisively used Mo Ran to overturn the basketball hoop and grabbed the picture of the falling basket with one hand as the cover of the newspaper.

"Patrick, is this the junior from your alma mater?"

New York.

Inside the training arena of the NBA team Knicks.

John Starks came to Patrick Ewing with a copy of the latest New York Daily News:

"This guy has done a great job in Boston!"

With that said, Starks put the newspaper cover in front of Ewing: "This big guy overturned the basketball hoop!"

"And it's still in the North Shore Gardens!"

Buckle up the basketball hoop of the NBA arena, or in the famous arena of the North Shore Garden.

No wonder John Starks was so excited.

"Calm down, John."

But Ewing looked calm: "I saw the news last night."

"Have you been following Mo Ran?"

"Nonsense, he's my junior, now representing Georgetown in the NCAA Tournament!"

Ewing almost threw the basketball in his hand at Starks' face: "No one pays more attention to Mo Ran than me!"

Mention Georgetown, aside from their history of dominating the Big East.

The history of the Patrick Ewing era is also a glorious moment for Georgetown forever.

In 1982, Patrick Ewing, then a freshman, led Georgetown to the finals.

Then, Georgetown became the backdrop for Michael Jordan's fatal shot.

The first famous scene of Jordan's career was born in front of Patrick Ewing.

Two years later, the 1984 NCAA Finals.

Ewing led Georgetown to the University of Houston.

For the first time in his career, Patrick Ewing faced off against the enemy of his life, Hakim Olajuwon.

In that final, Ewing defeated Da Meng and won the first championship of his career.

It is also the only champion so far.

In 1985, Georgetown reached the final again, but unfortunately missed the championship.

A look at Patrick Ewing's Georgetown career.

Four years of college, three finals, won a championship.

He is definitely the first in Georgetown history.

As the first player in the history of the Georgetown team, Mo Ran, an elite student from his alma mater, was born, how could Ewing not pay attention.

"Seriously, Patrick, do you want to watch Mo live?"

Charles Oakley joins the conversation: "I heard that DeCambe guy went to the Georgetown game."

"If they can make it to the final, I'll definitely be there."

Ewing smiled: "Don't forget, where is the venue for this year's NCAA finals."

Like Ewing said.

This year's NCAA Championship final arena is the home of the New York Knicks – Madison Square Garden!

The final was at his home court, and Ewing didn't bother to watch other games.

Just watching a final is enough.

Ewing did not choose to go live to watch the Georgetown Elite Final Four game.

The other two legendary centers of Georgetown were at the scene of the semi-finals.

Alonzo Mourning and Dicambe Mutombo, in separate TV interviews, said publicly:

Will go to the Final Four to cheer for Mo Ran and Georgetown!

After the two All-Star-level inside players said they would go to the scene to watch the game.

ESPN also announced its own NCAA national broadcast plan.

The Final Four between Georgetown and Wake Forest will be the last nationally televised game before the ESPN finals.

At that time, ESPN will also invite Mourning and Mutombo to gather at the commentary booth and act as guest commentators for the game.

Except these two former Georgetown comrades will reunite in the commentary.

ESPN also featured the topic of Mo Ran VS Duncan, which made the heat of this semi-final match to an unprecedented height.

It's not just the American media that attaches great importance to this semi-final.

The Celestial Dynasty on the other side of the ocean.

Due to the extremely high ratings of Mo RanNCAA game videos, it almost broke the ratings record of sports recorded programs.

Therefore, CCTV decided to try to broadcast the NCAA playoffs live.

But the condition is, it must be Mo Ran's game.

Coincidentally, after David Stern returned to the United States, he opened up the relationship between NCAA and CCTV as soon as possible.

Mo Ran made it to the semi-finals again.

CCTV has also decisively decided that it will officially broadcast Mo Ran's NCAA Final Four on the morning of April 2, US time, and the morning of April 3, China time!

As soon as this live broadcast was broadcast, it instantly detonated the basketball circle of the Celestial Dynasty.

Many Chinese fans who didn't have the chance to watch TV also learned the news through newspapers and word of mouth.

no doubt.

This semi-final match between Georgetown and Wake Forest has never been known, but it must be unprecedented!

Mo Ran, who flew back to Washington with the team from Boston, didn't know that CCTV was going to broadcast the NCAA Final Four.

As soon as he returned to Washington, Mo Ran returned to his dormitory immediately and had a good sleep.

The long interval between the NCAA quarterfinals and the quarterfinals gave the quarterfinals time to rest.

Coach John Thompson also took advantage of this time to give a good introduction to this year's top four teams with his players.

The first Georgetown needs no introduction.

Iverson + Mo Ran led the team, Jerome Williams + Kaosella Harrington, are also quite good players.

The second one, Wake Forest.

Led by superstar Tim Duncan, they defeated George Town in the knockout stage last season and ended up in the semi-finals.

The third team is the University of California with 96-time popular rookie Sherif Rahim.

The opponent of the University of California Final Four is the famous basketball school – the University of Kentucky!

This season's Kentucky, the owner sent Antoine Walker nicknamed Fattouto.

At the same time: Tony Delk + Derek Anderson + Walter McCarty + Ron Moser such a good player.

"Kentucky is currently widely regarded as the favorite team to win the championship. Their lineup configuration is also the best among the top four teams."

Coach John Thompson focused on Kentucky.

His perception was completely correct.

In the roster that Coach Thompson just read out, if Mo Ran remembers correctly, they are all future NBA players.

Antoine Walker does not introduce much.

Derek Anderson and Ron Mossel are both players who averaged 12 points per game in their NBA careers.

Anderson was the No. 13 pick in 1997. With this magical pick, he averaged 16.9 points per game in his peak season!

Ron Moser is even better.

He was selected sixth overall by the Celtics in the 1997 draft.

In the first 5 seasons of his career, he averaged more than 15 points per game, and in his peak season, he averaged 19.7 points per game for the Bulls!

in other words.

Kentucky's configuration, the bottom line is three pan-96 draft lottery picks.

The strength is evident!

Kentucky hasn't wasted its mighty staffing either.

April 1st, US time.

The first game of the NCAA Final Four begins.

The University of Kentucky beat the University of California by 17 points in the Final Four in Minnesota.

Sharif Raheem's dream of a title shot is shattered.

Kentucky returns to the NCAA finals stage after 16 years!

Sixteen years ago, the University of Kentucky won the 1978 NCAA Finals.

16 years later, they are once again standing on the final stage, aiming to win the championship!
