Chapter 12 The Trash Master

David Taillon and LaFrentz walked to the midfield line and were about to start the jump ball.

LaFrentz is 211 centimeters tall. Of course, such a height cannot be considered short, but compared with David, he pales in comparison. Even his body is far less stout than David.

"Beep!" After the referee blew the whistle, he threw up the rebound in his hand, and David easily won the jump ball over LaFrentz's head.

After Jackson got the ball from his teammates, he slowly advanced towards the frontcourt. Because he did not need to score points in this game, he was not in a hurry to attack.

Pierce came up directly and defended Jackson closely.

The duel between the two of them was the focus of tonight's game. Seeing the two of them confront each other, the audience fell silent.

Jackson still advanced with the ball unhurriedly. After reaching the three-point line in the frontcourt, he suddenly accelerated. With the help of his teammates' pick-and-roll, he rushed to the free throw line and then made a steady mid-range shot.

This goal was quite simple and efficient, and has nothing to do with magnificence, but the more it is like this, the more it reflects how powerful Jackson is today.

Pierce frowned, and he found that Jackson was far more powerful than he thought.

It was the Jayhawks' turn to attack. Pierce got the ball in the frontcourt, and he was ready to return it to Jackson.

In Pierce's view, this game is a confrontation between himself and Jackson. Although he has no plans to participate in the 1997 draft, if he can defeat Jackson, who is currently in the limelight, it will be extremely beneficial to his future draft.

There is no guarantee that Jackson will participate in the draft in the same year as me. I have a historical record of defeating Jackson, so I will undoubtedly be more advantageous in the draft.

It's almost a replica of Jackson's offensive round just now. Pierce also accelerated and used his teammates' pick-and-roll to make a mid-range shot.

Unfortunately, Pierce failed to hit the ball and the basketball crashed out of the basket.

Jiang Dongbing's eyes lit up on the sidelines, and a rebound appeared. Now let's look at David Taillon's performance.

David, who was under the basket, used his huge body to block LaFrentz behind the moment Pierce took the shot. After the basketball crashed out of the basket, he stretched out his long arm and grabbed the rebound with one hand.

With his astonishing height and wingspan and appallingly huge hands, David Taillon in his normal form is a human-sized rebounding machine.

LaFrentz stood behind and looked up at David's heroic figure grabbing the rebound, and was shocked in his heart.

He is not a traditional blue-collar inside man. His style is more like a space power forward. Rebounding and low-post singles are not his strengths.

Suddenly encountering an intimidating behemoth like David Tyrone, LaFrentz felt uneasy.

After David grabbed the rebound, he handed the ball directly to Jackson who rushed to the basket, then took long strides and headed towards the frontcourt.

LaFrentz can guarantee that he can even feel the vibration of the floor beneath his feet!

"What is the tonnage of this guy? 150 kilograms? It seems to be more than that!" LaFrentz started thinking wildly in his mind.

Jackson still calmly controlled the ball and advanced, and when he reached the frontcourt, Pierce still defended alone.

Another sudden increase in speed, this time Jackson did not make a mid-range shot after using the pick-and-roll, but went straight down to attack the basket.

David Taillon under the basket has LaFrentz stuck behind him. This is a perfect layup opportunity.

"Whoa!"

Jackson's layup was easy, but Pierce, who was chasing after him, looked livid and let Jackson hit him twice, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"But that's the case, no wonder he didn't participate in the draft." After Jackson scored two points, he grinned frivolously at Pierce.

Many fans only know that Jackson is good at boxing and kicking, but they don't know that his verbal skills are also at the master level.

Under normal circumstances, after retiring, Jackson joined the BIG3 League, which is composed of a group of retired veterans, and won the "honor" of the league's best trash talker.

This is a master of trash talk...

This simple sentence was nothing more than that, and it almost made Pierce explode with anger.

In the next offensive round, Pierce, who was furious and furious, went straight for a step-back three-pointer and made it.

After scoring a difficult three-pointer, Pierce felt instantly relieved and glanced at Jackson: "Rookie, are you ready to lose?"

"No, we can't lose, because I will completely beat you and score 50 points on your defense!" Jackson fired back immediately.

"Hillbilly, do you think this is your third-level league game?" Pierce said with a joking smile.

The two started talking back and forth, talking rubbish one after another, it was so lively.

If it were any other player, I'm afraid they would have collapsed due to Jackson's trash talk at this moment, but Pierce is also a master of trash talk, and the two of them are matched today.

Perhaps due to the influence of the trash talk, Jackson missed in the next offensive round.

At this time, the value of David Taillon was revealed. With the petite LaFrentz stuck, David collected the second rebound of the game.

After grabbing the rebound, David passed the ball to his nearest teammate, who made a mid-range shot.

I have to say that those scumbag players on the Grizzlies, aside from other things, at least have very reliable shooting abilities.

Turning around, it was the Jayhawks' turn to attack. Pierce's shot also missed, but LaFrentz failed to grab the rebound, and the rebound was grabbed by David Taillon.

Not long after the game started, the Grizzlies showed extremely amazing combat power.

Originally, everyone thought that the Jayhawks would beat the Grizzlies at the beginning, establish a huge lead in the first half, and let the game enter garbage time early.

But now trailing 6:3, the fans at the scene know very well that the Jayhawks are bound to be in a tough battle tonight.

Jackson is indeed very strong, and everyone knows this. What really surprises them is the player David Taillon. According to previous reports from various media, David's experience is inspiring, but his strength is only so much.

thing.

Playing in a third-tier league, just having that kind of data obviously has nothing to do with being strong.

But tonight, when David Taillon was facing off against LaFrentz, he pushed LaFrentz to the ground and rubbed him against him, completely destroying LaFrenz on the backboard.

Even if LaFrentz is not the best big man in Kansas, at least it is not a big problem to be ranked in the top three. How could such a top big man be completely destroyed by an unknown person?

Jiang Dongbing on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief. His trump card did not disappoint him, and he had the upper hand against the Jayhawks' twin stars.

The game on the court is still going on. Neither Jackson nor Pierce have good touch at the two main attack points, and their shooting percentages are embarrassing. However, the Grizzlies still gradually pull away with the help of David Taillon's dominance on the rebound end.

Point difference.

Jiang Dongbing couldn't help but feel happy. The game has been going on for ten minutes, and they currently have a stable advantage with a score of 19:11.

David's performance was perfect, he already scored eight rebounds in just ten minutes!

Looking back at LaFrentz, the number of rebounds is still zero. In terms of rebounds, David Taillon completely beat LaFrentz.

"Beep!" The Jayhawks directly called a timeout.

The fans at the scene were very angry. Originally, they came in to see the home team being beaten, but now in just ten minutes, their home team was suspended.

There is no NBA team in Kansas. The Jayhawks can be said to be the belief of Kansas fans. However, this belief was destroyed by a team that jumped out of nowhere.

"Coach, we will definitely win this game!" Jackson said to Jiang Dongbing excitedly.

Jiang Dongbing shook his head. He had never underestimated the Jayhawks. Even if they had the advantage now, he didn't think he was 100% sure of winning.

"Stephen, the game has just begun, don't draw conclusions too early."

"The opponent has not shown his true skills in these ten minutes. Remember, never underestimate your opponent." Jiang Dongbing said slowly.

Taking advantage of the timeout, Jiang Dongbing thought about the tactics the Jayhawks might deploy next.
