Chapter 24 No one commits me, I don't commit
Pierce is the ace player in Williams' hands, but this ace card showed his disadvantage when facing Jackson!
This puzzled Williams. Pierce is one year older than Jackson, and his talent cannot be worse than Jackson's. He also trains extremely hard. How come he is not as good as Jackson?
I'm afraid only Jiang Dongbing can answer Williams' doubts.
In terms of talent, Pierce is certainly better than Jackson. In a few years, when Pierce's strength reaches its peak, Pierce's strength will surpass Jackson's.
But now, because of the existence of the system, Jackson has realized his talent ahead of schedule. Although he has not fully realized it, it is still not difficult to deal with Pierce in his early stages.
The first half lasted ten minutes. Although the Jayhawks found some offensive rhythm, the score difference between the two sides was still huge.
Williams became more and more frightened as he played. The strength of the Panthers' rookie point guard made him a little panicked.
He has strong individual defense ability, organizational ability, ball control ability, overall view, and even offensive firepower is quite good. How can he look like a newcomer!
It’s not that he doesn’t know Baron Davis, it’s just that in his impression Davis is definitely not that strong!
If it is really that strong, it will definitely not be obtained by the Panthers. The top schools will definitely fight for it.
The Panthers are of a very high standard, but compared to schools such as UCLA, North Carolina and Duke, there is still a slight gap.
…
Jiang Dongbing called a timeout and took Jackson, Davidson and Odom off the court to rest, leaving only Artest and David as the two main players on the court.
Even so, the Panthers did not lag behind, playing well with the Jayhawks.
At the end of the first half, the Panthers led the Jayhawks by a terrifying margin of 48:22. The strength of the two teams was completely different.
Everyone on the Jayhawks team had bitter looks on their faces. They never expected that they would end up in this situation.
The opponent didn't even field the entire main lineup, and now the two sides have such a point difference...
"Coach, isn't the opponent too weak?" Jackson laughed during the halftime break.
The three Odoms nodded in agreement. They didn't expect their opponents to be so weak. They were originally looking forward to this showdown. After all, this was their first time playing against a famous school.
But after this fight, the opponent's weakness made them less interested in this game.
Jiang Dongbing shook his head, "It's not that they are too weak, but that you are too strong. The opponent is also a championship team, so how can it be weak."
"You are so powerful that you can crush any opponent. Even without any tactics on the field, you can sweep any opponent in the NCAA with just your personal abilities."
"By the way, the most important thing is that the five of you are all future All-Stars. If five All-Stars cannot defeat a team like the Jayhawks, I might as well stop being the head coach."
…
"Coach, during the warm-up just now, I saw that your face was full of anger after speaking to the other coach. Did the old guy say something unpleasant? Do you want me to teach his players a lesson on the court?" Jackson said suddenly.
Jiang Dongbing shook his head directly, "Stephen, you must remember that I will not offend others unless they offend me. The players on the other side were quite honest in this game and did not do anything too outrageous."
"In this case, there is no reason for you to teach them a lesson. Players who actively cause trouble are not suitable to be team leaders, and no team will like players who cause trouble every day."
After listening, Jackson nodded thoughtfully, "I understand, coach, I understand."
…
At the beginning of the second half of the game, David rested off the court, and the four main players on the court became even more lawless.
David has strong rebounding ability and defensive ability at the basket, but his speed is slow. Now without David, the four of them are like wild horses running wild, their rhythm is so fast that they can fly.
Roy Williams saw that the point difference was further widened, and he already had the intention to give up the game.
But think about it, I gave up a game last time. If I run away again this time, I won't be able to raise my head in front of the Black Panther in the future.
Now the situation has become extremely obvious. The Jayhawks are far from being the opponent of the Panthers. The strength gap between the two teams is really too big. Roy Williams can no longer understand the strength of this Panthers.
After the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Williams breathed a sigh of relief. This game was a kind of torture for him.
Although they lost miserably now, the torture was finally over.
97:53, it was a completely one-sided massacre. The only thing the Jayhawks players are lucky about now is that this game was not made public.
Pierce and LaFrentz, in particular, were extremely lucky. If this was made public, even if it would not have a fatal impact on their draft picks next year, it would still cause their draft picks to drop a few spots.
The lower the draft pick, the smaller the rookie contract, which is real dollars!
Jiang Dongbing stood on the sidelines and looked at Roy Williams on the opposite side with a smile, his face full of banter. After such a disastrous defeat, Williams was completely embarrassed.
How could Williams still have the energy to quarrel with Jiang Dongbing? He led the players to leave in despair immediately. I'm afraid they never want to come to Pittsburgh again in their lives.
Although they defeated the Jayhawks greatly, the players were not too excited, probably because the victory was too easy.
"It's a pity that there are no audience or media at the scene, otherwise, we would definitely still be on the headlines." Odom smacked his lips and said regretfully.
"It doesn't matter. We will play North Carolina in the next game. They will definitely not close the stadium. As long as we can beat them bloody, there will be plenty of opportunities to make headlines." Artest said confidently.
Jiang Dongbing nodded, "We will go to North Carolina's home court for the next game. They have confirmed that they will make this training match public."
The players cheered loudly. If they could defeat a team like North Carolina in front of the media, they would definitely become a hot topic in the United States.
…
"What? Won so much?" Pirlo was shocked when he learned the result of this training match.
Playing against a team like the Jayhawks, Pirlo had already thought that they might win, after all, they now have Jackson and David on the team.
But winning so much was something he never expected. It didn't look like the score between two famous school teams. It looked more like the score between a first-tier league team and a third-tier league team.
"That's right, the Jayhawks didn't even say hello after the game and just left."
"Mr. Pirlo, it seems that we really have a chance to win the championship this season!"
Pirlo was overjoyed. If the Panthers return to their peak seventy years ago under his leadership, his career will reach a new level.
"The contract we signed with Coach Jiang is for two hundred thousand dollars a year, right?" Pirlo suddenly asked his staff.
"That's right, I only signed it for one year."
Pirlo nodded and pondered, "Let's wait and see the next game against North Carolina. We may have to consider whether we should sign a contract with Jiang Dongbing for a few more years."
…
At the same time, Jackson approached Jiang Dongbing after the game.
"Coach, I think you'd better give us some offensive or defensive tactics." Jackson said with a tangled expression.
Jiang Dongbing was a little curious, wondering why Jackson said such words, "What's wrong? Stephen, do you have any tactics you want to use?"
"No, it's just that I think if the coach wants to continue to advance, he'd better show some tactical strength."
"Now our starting lineup is very good. No matter what tactics the coach arranges, we can execute them well, and the tactical results will definitely not be bad."
"I hope our coach will have the opportunity to enter the NBA with us next year." Jackson scratched his head and said with a smile.
After such a long period of contact with Jiang Dongbing, Jackson knew very well that Jiang Dongbing had plans to enter the NBA. Although it would be difficult for him to play under Jiang Dongbing again after arriving in the NBA, he was not willing to miss even if there was a chance.
