"Vince Carter and Antoine Jamison were both deflated by Luke Hobbs!"
"The two newcomers in North Carolina are nothing more than this!"
"I can't blame them for being too weak, Luke Hobbs is too strong!"
North Carolina, Dean Smith Center.
The Georgetown players, on the bench, were beyond excited.
North Carolina's two superstars, completely today, were overwhelmed by Luke's performance.
Who was the brightest star on the field?
No doubt.
It's Luke!
NCAA games are divided into two halves, each with 20 minutes of play time.
In the first half of the game, he played 14 minutes.
And, he scored 28 points omnipotently!
It was worth mentioning that all of his 28 points were dunks.
Hit rate up to 100%!
In addition to scoring 28 points on 100 percent shooting, Luke grabbed 16 rebounds and had five blocks.
The explosive data of 28+16+5 in 14 minutes even made people ignore his zero in assists.
Zero assists, does it matter?
Check out his individual performances on offense and defense.
With zero assists, it doesn't matter at all!
North Carolina here.
Vince Carter was in a normal state today.
Only 7 points in the half.
In fact, the freshman he was very talented, but in terms of scoring stability, it still lacked taste.
Antoine Jamison was North Carolina's top scorer in the half.
He scored 12 points.
North Carolina's two newcomers, together, contributed 19 points in the half.
Even lower than Luke by nearly double digits!
Georgetown players was amazed, and Luke's explosive performance in the first half led North Carolina by 14 points at 39:25 at halftime.
Don't look at the half-court scores of Carter and Jamison, they were not as good as Luke.
Even if the entire North Carolina team was combined, it was not as hot as his offense alone!
Intermission time.
In the North Carolina locker room.
The team's coach Dean Smith briefly summarized the team's problems at both ends of the attack and defense in the first half.
In his opinion, there were not many problems with the team today, only two in total.
"Number one, we couldn't contain Luke Hobbs on the defensive end."
"Second point, we are on the offensive end and are vulnerable to his inaccuracies."
Dean Smith was worthy of a generation of famous coaches.
Summarise the problem to the point, concise and clear.
The reason for North Carolina's defeat in the first half today was that it was blown up by Luke on both ends of offense and defense.
However, is it possible to limit Luke's offensive firepower in the second half?
Of course, possible.
You know, the NCAA only has three seconds to attack and three seconds to defend.
All of Luke's points came from within the three seconds.
As long as North Carolina had enough defensive players in the penalty area in the second half, are you worried that it won't limit Mo Ran's offense?
But is it necessary?
Dean Smith didn't think it was necessary.
Today was just a pre-season warm-up game.
The significance of the warm-up was to:
Examine new players, identify problems with new players, and address them in the upcoming season.
These goals, this game had been perfectly achieved.
Carter was not stable enough scoring ability.
Jamison's bad habit of scoring more on the outside, not daring to do damage inside at critical moments.
Being able to examine the problems of these newcomers, the outcome of the warm-up match, was s no longer important.
What's more, apart from these.
Through this game, Dean Smith's new apprentice, and windfall.
"Vince, you should realize how big the world is."
He walked up to Carter who was bowing his head and said nothing, and patted him on the shoulder: "Child, the world is huge and there are many talents. Entering North Carolina is just the beginning of your basketball career."
"Forget what you've achieved before."
"In front of a talented player like Luke Hobbs, the achievements and honors you have had are not worth mentioning at all."
That's how Dean Smith taught Michael Jordan back then.
Now, in the same way, he educated the young man in front of him whose physical talent was comparable to Jordan.
Forget the title of best high school student in Florida.
Don't miss your McDonald's All-American Slam Dunk Championship glory.
From now on, let's work hard to surpass Luke Hobbs!
In Dean Smith's view, it's not a bad thing that the team was blown up by Luke today.
At least Vince Carter will usher in a transformation after this game.
Now, maybe Luke is the stronger one on the court.
But give Carter enough time.
Who will be stronger in the future?
It's hard to say!
A bond began between Dean Smith and Vince Carter.
Antoine Jamison on the side was tearful.
I was also abused too, why didn't the coach come to comfort me?!
Seems to be aware of Jamison's hurt little eyes.
Coach Dean Smith patted the Carter, walked up to Jamison, and started his own chicken soup show.
(A/N: Means, motivation)
The half-time break was over soon.
The game between the two teams in the second half could only be described in one sentence:
North Carolina gave up the game ahead of schedule, Luke Hobbs hit a large double-double of 35+20+8, clocked in and got off work!
In the end, the whole game ended with a huge advantage of 21 points by George Town 70:49.
They won this preseason warm-up game!
"Nice job, Luke."
At the end of the game, Coach John Thompson gave Luke a high-five for the first time: "I will promote you as the coach of Georgetown."
"Luke, from the beginning of the new season, you will be the team's starting center!"
Although his technical moves were not like a traditional center.
It looked more like a 3-4 player.
But his size was here.
The height of the center.
Sufficient tonnage.
Top wingspan.
The registration location is the big C, no problem!
"Congratulations!"
Allen Iverson also came over and gave Luke a high five: "You really won North Carolina by double digits."
"I always do what I say."
Luke responded to the AI with a high five: "I said that I would help the team win the NCAA Championship, and it will definitely be achieved."
"If Jerome said that, I certainly wouldn't believe it."
In addition to laughing, Iverson did not forget to tease his teammate Jerome Williams: "But, Like, if this is what you said..."
"Then I have no reason not to believe it!
