Although coach Dave Odom has some solutions.
But in the end, Duncan calmed down and chose to finish his senior year, fulfill his promise to his mother, and participate in the 1997 draft.
Waiting for a year will not affect his future matchup with Mo Ran in the NBA.
Dave Odom supports all decisions made by his disciples.
The most glorious history of the Wake Forest Devils is the years led by Tim Duncan.
Stay for one more year and make a final push to the NCAA Championship next year!
Why not?
However, it can make the heart of Tim Duncan, who has been silent for many years, to move.
Mo Ran's charm is evident.
"In a word, although Mo Ran's numbers are not much different from Tim Duncan's, I think Mo is the winner today."
"Yes, the debate on the most powerful insiders of the Pan-96 generation seems to be over!"
On ESPN News tonight.
Several experts discussed:
"Mo crushed Marcus Camby head-on, and the data was comparable to TD (Tim Duncan), or even a little better, and at the same time led his team to eliminate Wake Forest."
"Vengeance on the Wake Forest Devils achieved!"
"He has beaten two of the best big men in the Pan '96 generation."
"Especially TD!"
"Mo Ran should be the best insider of the Pan 96 generation, there is no suspense!"
Consecutively defeated Camby + Duncan head-on.
Mo Ran capped the best insiders of the Pan 96 generation, and there must be no problem.
"So, will Mo Ran lock in this year's No. 1 pick ahead of schedule when Tim Duncan is sure he won't be in the '96 draft?"
well known.
In the NBA, big men are always the most sought-after players in the draft.
Especially in 1996.
The big four center has not yet retired, and Shaquille O'Neal gradually showed the dominant inside era.
A big man with a height of more than 2 meters and 10 meters, his performance in the NCAA knockout stage exploded.
Mo Ran is not the champion?
Who is that?
"Allen Iverson obviously can't compete with Mo Ran for the No. 1 spot."
"Allen is absolutely brilliant, I admit," said one of the experts.
"If there is no Mo in the topic of the champion, only Marcus and Allen, I will definitely choose Allen Iverson!"
"But if Mo and Allen are put in the top spot, I will only choose Mo Ran, there is no other choice!"
"I agree with you, man, I agree with Mo Ran being the No. 1 overall pick in the '96!"
Almost all ESPN experts agree with this view.
Mo Ran is already the most popular in the 96th draft, the No. 1 pick!
"So, maybe the Boston Celtics will draft Mo Ran?"
After talking about the biggest number one pick in the 1996 session.
Several pundits have their sights set on the NBA record rankings so far.
The Boston Celtics are visibly rotten to the naked eye, almost locking in the No. 1 pick.
Could it be that the Green Army will use the second top pick in team history to select Mo Ran?
"Our subject of investigation is Allen Iverson."
It's just that the Celtics coach M. L. Kyle, decisively threw a smoke bomb: "If we finally get the No. 1 pick, the team will only choose between Allen and Stephen."
Just like in the original timeline, when the Celtics slapped Duncan in 1997, they madly bragged that Keith Van Horn was Bird II.
The Green Army used Iverson + Marbury as a smoke bomb, and did not reveal their hearts to Mo Ran.
no doubt.
This was Cardinal Auerbach's idea again.
An interesting phenomenon.
Before the semifinal between Georgetown and Wake Forest.
The discussion all over the United States is this semi-final, and the discussion is Tim Duncan VS Mo Ran.
But when the game is over.
What the American media care about is no longer the next final match.
It's: Will Mo Ran be the No. 1 overall pick, and — which NBA team will Mo Ran enter as the No. 1 overall pick.
Like, when Mo Ran won a head-to-head with Tim Duncan.
This year's NCAA championship is not as good as which team Mo Ran will join as the No. 1 draft pick, which is more worthy of discussion!
Of course, the topic of the NCAA finals every year cannot be low.
ESPN is also in the prime time of its own TV program, for the upcoming Kentucky VS Georgetown, various previews to build momentum.
Not just ESPN.
On the Chinese side, CCTV received a detailed viewing report after the semi-final between Georgetown and Wake Forest.
This NCAA semi-final, which was broadcast live for the first time in the history of CCTV, won the top three ratings of all CCTV programs that day!
Among sports programs, the ratings of this NCAA semifinal ranked among the top five in history.
This is only the NCAA semifinals!
With Mo Ran leading Georgetown to the final.
The final ratings of the 1996 NCAA Championships have yet to take off!
So out of the emphasis on this game, and the emphasis on Mo Ran.
CCTV directly dispatched Mr. Zhang Heli + Su Qun, who was still very young at this time, to fly to New York together.
In the 1996 NCAA Championship final venue – Madison Gardens, New York, live broadcast this domestic and international focus of the NCAA Championship final!
The decision of CCTV to send reporters to the NCAA scene was supported by David Stern.
The NBA president used his connections to win a commentary position for CCTV in Madison Gardens.
Excited to fly from China to New York.
The Celestial Dynasty team, led by the NCAA staff, came to their commentary seat immediately and arranged the live broadcast + commentary equipment on the day of the final.
"Director Zhang, do you think that we have been exposed to Mo Ran's light?"
While cleaning up the line, the young Su Qun's eyes flashed: "If he hadn't reached the finals, we might not have the chance to broadcast the NCAA finals live at Madison Gardens!"
"That's not."
When it comes to Mo Ran, Mr. Zhang Lili has a proud smile on his face.
"I also heard that if Mo Ran wins the NCAA Championship this year, he will be able to lock in the NBA's No. 1 pick!"
Su Qun's tone was full of admiration for Mo Ran.
For their generation of Chinese basketball practitioners.
The appearance of Mo Ran is like a beacon.
He has lit up his entire career, and the cult of personality makes sense.
"You don't even need to win the championship, Mo Ran can lock in the No. 1 spot!"
Mr. Zhang Lili listened to the praises of Mo Ran in the words of many foreign colleagues around him.
With a smile, he patted Su Qun on the shoulder: "Xiao Su, hurry up and pack up, and wait for Mo Ran and the others to come to New York."
"We also have an exclusive interview with him before the final!"
