Chapter Seventeen White Devil Bibby
Several people chatted with Pirlo for nearly an hour, and they had a good time. After setting a report date, Pirlo left first.
Jackson jumped up and cheered, "It worked, coach, we succeeded!"
Jiang Dongbing was also very proud, "Okay, boys, are you ready to win the national championship?"
This question directly dumbfounded Jackson. He believed that he and David could achieve good results in the coming season, but he was not very confident about winning the national championship.
It is really too difficult to win the national championship. In addition to the extremely strong team, it also requires extra good luck.
The Black March single-game elimination system means that no matter how strong you are, as long as you have bad luck in one game, you will be eliminated immediately.
Therefore, the champions of the national championships over the years are not only strong in strength, but also have first-class luck.
"Coach, can we really win the championship?" Jackson asked dubiously.
"Put away your questions. What you should be thinking about now is whether you will be selected first, second or third overall in the draft after winning the championship!" Jiang Dongbing said sonorously.
If you want to win the championship, you must have both strength and luck. However, when a team is strong enough to crush all teams, luck becomes dispensable.
Jiang Dongbing has many ways to improve the Panthers into a super team that can crush the NCAA!
Previously, Jiang Dongbing was stuck at the small Butler Community College, where he had nowhere to put his talents to use.
Now with a big stage like the Division I league and the platform of the Pittsburgh Panthers, Jiang Dongbing clearly knows that the time has come for him to rise.
…
Black March begins and sixty-eight teams begin the annual national championship.
Jiang Dongbing and others are extremely envious. This is the sports event with the highest ratings in the United States. It is a pity that we do not have the opportunity to participate.
In the end, the Arizona Wildcats, led by White Devil Mike Bibby, successfully won the cup and won the 1997 NCAA National Championship.
Jackson felt quite uncomfortable watching this. He had a very good relationship with Bibby. The two were on the same starting line a year ago, but now Bibby has won the championship. Jackson has never played a serious game.
.
"Coach, did you know? Mike is actually a black man, and he has Chinese ancestry!" After watching the game, Jackson pulled Jiang Dongbing to chat with interest.
Jiang Dongbing nodded. He actually knew Bibby no less than Jackson.
Domestic fans have the impression of the white devil Bibby as a gentle and graceful white man. In fact, this impression is completely wrong.
Bibby is a black man, and before he entered the NBA, he was also a well-known thorn in his side, even more difficult than Jackson.
Opponents, teammates and even the audience were all overwhelmed by Bibby's trash talk. Later, he was severely beaten by his mother Virginia before he became honest...
As for Bibby's Chinese ancestry, this is indeed not a fabrication. His grandmother is a Chinese named Tang, and Bibby has her grandmother's tattoo on her back.
"Stephen, there is no need to envy Mike. Next year you will stand on the podium like him, and then you two will participate in the draft at the same time." Jiang Dongbing said with a smile.
After hearing this, Jackson's eyes almost popped out.
"Coach, how did you know Mike was not participating in the draft this year?"
"Only a few people know about this!" Jackson exclaimed.
Now the whole world thinks that Bibby will strike while the iron is hot and directly sign up for this year's draft.
But Jackson knew that Bibby had made his girlfriend pregnant. He didn't want to enter the NBA just like that. He wanted to stay for one more year to take care of his upcoming baby.
Bibby's father, Henry Bibby, was also a professional player and a point guard. When Bibby was four years old, Henry Sr. abandoned his wife and son and ran away. This may be why Bibby cares so much about the baby.
, he doesn’t want to become the person he hates the most.
It is precisely because of this same experience that Bibby and Jackson became close friends, and Bibby's mother spared no effort to help Jackson.
Faced with Jackson's exclamation, Jiang Dongbing was stunned. His casual remark actually slipped out of his mouth.
"I guess, you and Mike are very good friends, so it's not unusual to participate in the draft together." Jiang Dongbing waved his hand and said perfunctorily.
Jackson nodded and didn't think much about it in his dim head.
…
At the end of May, Jackson successfully obtained enough transfer credits, and he had half a foot on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh.
Because of the "Disability Education Act" of the United States, David can also enter the University of Pittsburgh smoothly. People with autism in most countries in the world, including China, can receive disability certificates.
The only thing the two have to do now is to wait quietly for the arrival of the new semester. They take their admission letters and report to the University of Pittsburgh.
Jiang Dongbing is not so free here. His two favorite generals are on vacation, and he must immediately leave for Pennsylvania to go through the entry procedures.
Summer vacation is the busiest time for sports-related staff in various universities. They must take advantage of the summer vacation to recruit as many strong players as possible.
The more powerful players there are, the stronger the team will be. If the recruitment does not go smoothly, the team's situation in the new season may become quite embarrassing.
Especially those top schools attach great importance to recruiting new students. If they cannot get strong newcomers, these newcomers will become their opponents and hinder their progress in the national championship.
As the new men's basketball head coach of the University of Pittsburgh, Jiang Dongbing definitely doesn't want to miss such an important thing.
In fact, Jiang Dongbing is looking forward to recruiting new players this time. As a time traveler, Jiang Dongbing is still dissatisfied even though he has famous players like Wu Sheng Jackson in his past life.
After all, under normal circumstances, Jackson never even played in an All-Star game. After finally traveling through time, Jiang Dongbing felt that he was really sorry for not having two real All-Stars to play for him.
After arriving in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Jiang Dongbing completed the entry procedures and walked into Pirlo's office immediately.
"Welcome, Coach Jiang!" Pirlo stood up and greeted Jiang Dongbing warmly.
Regardless of Jiang Dongbing's coaching ability, he brought two players, Jackson and David, to the Panthers. Pirlo felt that this was enough to express his respect for Jiang Dongbing.
"Hello, Mr. Pirlo."
"After completing the entry procedures, I wanted to see the school's recruitment work and see if there is anything I can do to help." Jiang Dongbing said very politely.
Pirlo waved his hand and said: "Turner has always been responsible for recruiting new players, but if you are interested or have a player you particularly like, you can discuss it with Turner."
"There are indeed a few players that I like very much, and the potential of these players is no worse than Stephen."
"If we can get them, we will definitely win the championship in the new season." Jiang Dongbing said confidently.
Pirlo immediately became interested. He knew Jackson's strength very well. If the players Jiang Dongbing mentioned could really have Jackson's strength and put together a five-star lineup, it would not be difficult to win the championship.
"Oh? Coach Jiang, who are these players?" Pirlo asked curiously.
Jiang Dongbing picked up a piece of paper, took out a brush and wrote down the names of several players.
Ron Artest, Lamar Odom, Elton Brand, Tracy McGrady, Baron Davis, Larry Hughes, a total of six players.
After reading this, Pirlo couldn't help but smile bitterly. Aren't these six members of the just-concluded McDonald's All-Star Challenge?
Every year, McDonald's invites twenty-four of the most dazzling high school students in the United States to compete, and now the six people on Jiang Dongbing's list are on McDonald's list.
"Jiang, these are the hottest high school students in the United States. Although we are also a famous school, it is almost impossible to recruit all six of them into the team."
"Besides, don't be superstitious about the McDonald's All-Star list. Not even half of the players in it can truly become talented players. Many of them performed brilliantly in high school, but after reaching college, they simply disappeared from everyone else." Pirlo sighed.
A total of twenty-four players participate in the competition every year, and less than half of them can really play at a reliable level in college. Even among these players who have played at a reliable level in college, more than half have not played in the NBA, so they may not be able to play at a reliable level in the end.
Only two or three people can become stars.
