The Pittsburgh Panthers' first road game is against the Villanova Wildcats.

Jiang Dongbing didn't know exactly how many teams were named Wildcats in the entire NCAA, but he knew that there must be twenty or thirty.

I really don't understand why these teams are so fond of the Wildcats team name.

The Villanova Wildcats were the third-seeded team in the Eastern Division of the National Championship last season and were quite strong, but their situation was somewhat similar to Georgetown's. The core players on the team also went to participate in the draft.

Corey Kidders was selected by the Nets with the 8th pick in the 1996 draft. After entering the NBA, his performance was remarkable. He averaged 16.4 points per game in his rookie season. However, due to injuries, he was unable to perform well in the later stages.

He also lost sight of everyone.

Kidders has not been injured yet and is regarded as a leading player of the 1996 golden generation. After all, his scoring ranks fourth among the 1996 rookies, and his shooting percentage is not much worse than that of a natural shooter like Ray Allen. He will obviously do well.

Have a wonderful future.

As far as Jiang Dongbing knows, the future Raptors backcourt player Lowry is a Villanova player, and he should be the strongest player in the history of the Villanova team.

Now without Kidders, the Villanova Wildcats are like tigers with teeth pulled out, posing no threat to the Panthers at all.

The game on the field has begun. After being silent for three consecutive games, David is in good condition today and has maintained a high concentration on the game.

The mighty Tianlong has shown its power, so there is no suspense in this game.

The first half wasn't over yet, but the Wildcats were already showing signs of giving up the game. The Panthers players became more and more excited as they played, taking advantage of the opportunity when the opponent's defense relaxed, to hit the basket and dunk repeatedly.

"Bang!" Baron Davis rushed to the basket and dunked the ball hard with one arm.

Turning around to the Wildcats' offensive round, Davis successfully stole the ball again with his quick eyes and quick hands, quickly counterattacked by himself, and then dunked again.

But this time there was a defensive player behind him, and Davis almost fell when he landed.

When Jiang Dongbing saw this momentum, he felt bad. As the saying goes, good times are bad for dogs. The Panthers players played too wildly on the court. Jiang Dongbing couldn't stand it if he got injured again by accident.

Especially Davis, who has a "criminal record".

Under normal circumstances, Davis landed unstable during a dunk during his freshman season and seriously injured his knee, causing him to be retired for the entire season.

At that time, everyone thought this player was completely useless, but Davis returned to the game with amazing perseverance.

Davis, who later entered the NBA, had almost changed from a high-flying player to a floor-playing player, which was the reason for this severe injury.

Jiang Dongbing doesn't want his subordinate Davis to suffer such a heavy blow. The most important thing is that he wants to win the championship this year, and win it beautifully, so Davis cannot be missing from the lineup.

If Davis is reimbursed, the Panthers' strength will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

"Dududu!" Jiang Dongbing called a timeout and called the main players on the court to his side.

"Guys, I know you are very excited to play and want to show your strong physical fitness on the court."

"But you are all future superstars. Don't do many actions that may put yourself in danger, because it may ruin your career."

"It's not that you are not allowed to dunk. The first prerequisite is that you can ensure that you are not injured. If you injure your Achilles tendon or knee, you should be very aware of the seriousness of the matter." Jiang Dongbing said to the main players with a serious face.

Several young people nodded silently. How many stars have been completely scrapped due to injuries? They don't know, but they know very well that they definitely don't want this to happen to them.

"Okay, coach, we will pay attention."

"The coach is right, we don't need to do those flashy things, we just need to score points honestly."

"Yes, the opponent is just a sick cat with a tooth pulled out. To deal with such a weakling, we dunk all kinds of dunks and wreak havoc on their home court. The situation is really small, like a red neck who suddenly gained power."

The players also knew that Jiang Dongbing was thinking about their future, so they simply agreed not to do those dangerous dunks in the future.

Jiang Dongbing nodded with satisfaction. His players were quite sensible, not just ignorant people.

Some players are completely dismissive of the coach's suggestions, and may even break up with the coach because of these suggestions, forcing the management to expel the coach.

Now Jiang Dongbing may enter the NBA next year, and it is not impossible to meet such players in the future.

…

After the players returned to the field, they were obviously much more stable, and there were no more attacks that might threaten their safety.

Those who can make empty baskets will never dunk, and those who can use pick-and-roll shooting will never do anything fancy. The Panthers on the court are like a mature professional team.

At the referee's whistle, the game ended, and the Panthers won another big victory in their first away game.

David played 27 minutes in this game. Although there were some low-level mistakes in a few minutes, the overall flaws were not concealed. He scored 3 points, 21 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks tonight, once again helping the team dominate the rebounding end.

.

…

In the blink of an eye, time has entered 1998. The Panthers have not lost a single game in the first 14 games, and the starting five have directly become the most popular star lineup in the United States.

The last team whose starting lineup shocked the NCAA was the Michigan Five of the University of Michigan Wolverines. Now the fans of the Panthers have named Jackson and others the Pittsburgh Five.

Although the Michigan Five failed to win the championship trophy due to some unexpected factors, they are still regarded as the most terrifying five-man group from 1991 to 1993.

King Chris Webber, Uncle Huo Juwan Howard, "Mr. 81 Points" Jaylen Rose, Ray Jackson and Jamie King, the latter two can only be regarded as minions, but the first three are all

Those who have made a name for themselves in the NBA, especially King Webber, are the most extravagant power forwards in history. In terms of strength alone, they can also be ranked among the top ten power forwards in history.

Their popularity has reached an extremely astonishing level. Any fan who pays attention to the NCAA will definitely have heard of their name.

Now the Pittsburgh Five have shown that they are as strong as the Michigan Five, or even better. After all, the Michigan Five have never had a terrifying record of 14 consecutive wins since the start of the season.

Jiang Dongbing knew very well that his Pittsburgh Five were definitely more powerful than the Michigan Five. If these two teams really met, the winner would definitely be his Pittsburgh Five.

The backcourt of Michigan's Fab Five is too weak, and the backcourt combination of Jackson and Davis can definitely beat them. As for Michigan's powerful inside line, Jiang Dongbing doesn't think David and Odom will lose too much to each other.

.

Of course, David doesn't need to say much, and when Odom is serious, his strength is quite terrifying. Jiang Dongbing even feels that if Odom can get rid of his bad habit of inattention, maybe he will be another Chris Webber.
