Chapter 23 Auerbach Oriole is behind, a big event, don’t make a high profile!

The Boston Celtics are very efficient.

Georgetown's game against West Virginia isn't over yet.

Video materials about Mo Ran and Allen Iverson have been handed to Auerbach.

Allen Iverson, this young guard, Auerbach has actually paid attention.

Even when AI was still in high school, the Cardinals paid attention to Iverson.

At that time, Auerbach hoped that Iverson could grow high after entering college.

As long as it can surpass the 1.90-meter mark, AI will be the cornerstone of the Celtics' future team building.

Regrettably.

Several years have passed.

Iverson's height stopped at about 1.83 meters and did not rise further.

Coupled with the big man from Wake Forest University, he gradually showed his talent in the NCAA.

Auerbach's attention gradually shifted from Iverson to Tim Duncan.

Looking at Iverson's college performance a few years later, Auerbach still had to say:

If Iverson can grow taller, he will create a career in the NBA.

Unfortunately.

Height is doomed and cannot be changed.

"Is this the young man named Mo Ran?"

After sighing over Iverson, Auerbach watched Mo Ran's game video.

"Yes sir, this is Mo Ran."

M. L. Coach Kyle introduced: "According to the data in our hands, Mo's height is the same as Tim Duncan, both 2.11 meters."

"And in terms of wingspan, Mo also has a wingspan of 2.26 meters."

Although in terms of wingspan, Duncan's 2.30 meters is still longer than Mo Ran.

But because of Duncan's long arms, it is difficult for him to make smooth dribbling movements.

Mo Ran, on the other hand, is completely different.

His wingspan is long without being overly long.

This allows him to do a lot of point guard dribbling with the ball.

This is fully demonstrated in the video materials.

"Mo Ran's physical ability is great, which overshadows the fact that he's very good off the dribble."

Auerbach looked carefully.

Mo Ran definitely has great ball handling.

It's just that in the NCAA-level game, he doesn't need to attack like this often.

A simple and rude breakthrough and a dunk is enough to solve most problems.

"Yes sir, Mo Ran is also much more athletic than Tim."

Coach Kyle is still introducing: "You may not believe it when you say it."

"This season, the tactics of Georgetown University's first offense have been called by fans; 'Giant fast break'!"

"Giant quick attack?"

Auerbach was intrigued: "What does this mean?"

"This giant refers to Mo Ran, and the so-called giant fast break means that after Mo Ran completes the jump ball, he directly attacks the frontcourt with a fast break!"

M. L. Kyle, fast-forwarding the tape, finds the opening shot of the Georgetown game.

Mo Ran beat his opponent with an easy jump ball and then strode into the frontcourt.

The speed is so fast that even the camera lens can't keep up.

Immediately afterwards, Iverson's quarterback long pass, running through the audience, was given to Mo Ran.

The Celestial Giant who stepped on the three-point line, directly combined the ball, rushed to the free throw line with two strides, took off in the air, and violently abused the frame!

Although the distance between the three-point line and the free throw line in the NCAA is closer than that in the NBA.

But Mo Ran's exaggerated performance that it only takes two steps from the three-point line to the free throw line left Auerbach stunned.

Compare Tim Duncan.

Mo Ran's athletic talent is indeed more outstanding.

This is not to belittle Duncan.

Seriously, in fact, Tim Duncan used to be Wake Forest's flying devil, with outstanding athleticism.

But in front of Mo Ran, it is indeed at a disadvantage!

"There is also Mo Ran's defensive ability, sir, Mo's defensive area is similar to that of Tim. They can both support the entire team's penalty area defense."

In addition to his rock-solid offensive ability, Tim Duncan's defensive attributes are also outstanding.

The defense of the basic skills can even be said to have its own defense system!

It is precisely because of Duncan's integration of offense and defense, and a very high level of maturity.

So he is the TOP1 rookie of the 96 rookie rankings!

Look at Mo Ran again.

In addition to blocking the sun in the penalty area, he also threw himself to the perimeter and shot the defensive shots of Ray Allen.

Does this mean:

Mo Ran is not only covering the sky in the penalty area.

He can even expand the defensive area, while taking into account the perimeter defense?

If so.

Then Mo Ran's defensive coverage is even better than Tim Duncan!

"Stop for a while."

Although this Mo Ran video gave Auerbach a great impact, the Cardinal is still very stable:

"Kyle, it's all just our assumptions."

"We just relied on the video of Mo's game in the Big East to exaggerate the ability he showed."

in other words.

The Celtics have analyzed Mo Ran's future cap possibilities.

These may not materialize.

However, this is also a manifestation of Mo Ran's potential.

He does have the potential to surpass Tim Duncan.

"I know why Jerry flew from Los Angeles to Washington."

Auerbach took a deep breath of the cigar and slowly exhaled the smoke ring: "The Lakers are about to act, and their goal is definitely Mo Ran!"

Maybe now.

Allen Iverson is the superstar of Georgetown, the absolute leader.

Actually.

Mo Ran's ceiling is far from what Allen Iverson can match.

The key to the Lakers' revival plan must be this celestial giant full of potential.

"Mr. Bishop, what should we do now?"

M. L. Kyle responded quickly: "If you trade chips, it seems that they can trade more players?"

Although the Celtics also have All-Star level players.

But they only have one.

And the Lakers have a full three!

If you really want to grab a hot rookie, the Lakers are the one with more chips.

"Can't we just rely on transactions?"

Auerbach gave M. L. Kyle took a look: "Kyle, use your smart little head."

Don't need to rely on transactions?

Coach Kyle fell into contemplation and suddenly had an epiphany.

"You mean… we're going to rot?!"

The Lakers have three All-Stars, so they will definitely end up in the playoffs.

On the premise that their own pick is not enough to select Mo Ran, the Lakers must trade to acquire this super rookie.

But the Celtics are different,

The Green Shirts are already waiting for everything to be done. They basically missed the playoffs this season. The lottery picks in their hands are born.

In order to be foolproof select Mo Ran.

Why can't the team's record be a little worse, so that it has a chance to get the No. 1 pick?

Knowing that Tim Duncan won't be in the '96 draft.

The No. 1 pick selected Allen Iverson, then traded down to get Mo Ran + the rest of the resources.

Isn't it beautiful?

"So do we need to go and watch Mo Ran live?"

"Of course not."

Auerbach vetoed at the speed of light: "Listen, from now on, let's not be in any conversation about rookie players."

"If you want to be big, you don't have to be so high-profile."

Just look at Jerry West.

He thought he was cheating.

In fact, the Celts discovered a piece of rough jade.

Looking at M. L. The back of Kyle's departure, Auerbach, who was smoking a cigar, smiled.

The cardinal even started thinking:

When the team won Mo Ran in '96.

Another year of shit.

In 1997, he won Tim Duncan and formed the inside twin towers.

Should I come back in person and have another coaching addiction?
