Chapter 35 Calhoon the Gravedigger

While waiting for ESPN to take photos for a few days, the Panthers played a home game and successfully won it. They had won fifteen consecutive victories!

David also successfully got his own customized suit. During the fitting, Jiang Dongbing's eyes lit up when David was wearing the suit.

As the saying goes, a man in gold relies on his clothes. David's body proportions are excellent. When paired with this "priceless" suit, he suddenly looks a bit noble.



"Hollywood, David, is it really you? I thought I was seeing an inflated, large Brad Pitt."

On the day of filming, when Jackson saw David in a suit, he couldn't help but praise him.

"What a nice suit, David. Isn't this suit cheap?" Odom asked with a smile.

Unexpectedly, David, who had almost no verbal communication with them, actually spoke, shaking his head hurriedly: "No, it's very cheap..."

Because the NCAA has various rules and restrictions, if the outside world knew that Jiang Dongbing had customized such an expensive suit for David, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

So Jiang Dongbing told David several times not to tell anyone the price of the suit, otherwise he would get into trouble.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's get started." After Jiang Dongbing arrived, he shouted to the Pittsburgh Five.

He also wore a suit today, but his suit was not as luxurious as David's. It was a discount item he bought at a hypermarket for two hundred dollars.

"Coach, I say your suit is too shabby compared to David's."

"Whenever I sign a big contract in the NBA, I will definitely buy you the best suit." Jackson couldn't help but joke.

"Go, go, after you sign a big contract, I guess you will be a super famous coach with an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars. I still need your suit." Jiang Dongbing waved his hand and said with a smile.

Next, ESPN staff began to take photos of Jiang Dongbing and the Pittsburgh Five.

Jiang Dongbing sat in front with a golden sword, his legs spread out and his back straight, his expression extremely solemn, looking like a mountain king.

The Pittsburgh Five stood behind Jiang Dongbing in sequence, with the tallest David standing in the middle, Odom and Jackson on both sides, and Artest and Davis on both sides.

Artest and Jackson both had fierce looks on their faces, David's expression was a little dull, Davis forced out an ugly smile, and Odom put on his perfect smile worth two million dollars.

"Click!" The cameraman pressed the shutter, and a perfect cover was released.

After several people saw the negatives from the cameraman's hands, they were all very satisfied. It must be said that the shooting technology of professional media is indeed first-class.

"Perfect, coach, you really look like Brando Malone in this photo. You're like a younger version of the Godfather." Jackson couldn't help but flatter him.

But he didn't brag too much. This photo of Jiang Dongbing does have a Godfather look to him.

David remained silent. His attention was entirely focused on Jiang Dongbing's shabby-looking suit, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Jiang Dongbing breathed a sigh of relief when the filming ended successfully. It's good that he didn't waste too much training time.



The Panthers' next home opponent is the University of Connecticut. In Jiang Dongbing's view, this university should be the strongest team in the entire Big East Conference, except for Pittsburgh.

The UConn Huskies, or the UConn Huskies, can't say how good their lineup is. After all, there is only one Richard Hamilton in their lineup who can catch Jiang Dongbing's eye.

Hamilton, one of the top five players in the Pistons, is a typical example of a mismatch between strength and fame. His incredible physical fitness and precise mid-range shooting failed to help him win the popularity that can rival Billups, the No. 1 point guard in the Pistons.

.

Such a not-so-spectacular lineup can still have such strong strength, and their head coach Jim Calhoun is indispensable.

Jiang Dongbing had a deep impression on Calhoun as a coach. In addition to the reason why he later entered the Hall of Fame, it was also related to Calhoun's legendary experience.

Before this coach entered the basketball circle, his main job was gravedigger and tombstone carving!

This is a true messenger of death...

Such a bizarre experience is naturally something that fans will never forget. Even if they forget the name Calhoun, when they mention Hall of Fame coaches, they will definitely think of one of them who often dug up people's graves when he was young.

In addition to his legendary experience, Calhoun's coaching ability is also legendary. He is one of the six coaches in NCAA history who has won three or more championships.

Of course, Calhoun has yet to gain momentum. His first championship was won with Hamilton in 1999.



As the host, Jiang Dongbing said hello to Calhoun and Hamilton during the warm-up period.

Now that Jiang Dongbing is in the limelight, Calhoun did not put on airs because of Jiang Dongbing's youth. He chatted with Jiang Dongbing for a long time and exchanged a lot of coaching experience.

Coaches like Calhoun are still worthy of respect. He is completely different from those half-hearted coaches who have no ability but are ambitious.



The Pittsburgh Five still teamed up to win this game, but in the end they only won by a ten-point margin.

This was only won by ten points when the five tigers went all out, which shows that this Huskies team is still quite resilient.

Especially Hamilton on the court left a deep impression on Jiang Dongbing. He actually played every second on the court, as if he was a perpetual motion machine and never tired.

In addition to his crazy physical fitness, Hamilton's mid-range shooting tonight was also extremely good, even forcing Jackson and Artest to zone-defend him in certain rounds, which restricted his performance.

After the game, the two sides shook hands in a friendly way and said goodbye, and Jiang Dongbing finally hugged Calhoun.

Jiang Dongbing's behavior style is indeed quite extreme and radical sometimes, but he only behaves like this after receiving some kind of stimulation. Under normal circumstances, Jiang Dongbing is still very graceful.



Game after game, the Pittsburgh Panthers have become Pittsburgh's dark horses and the most watched team in the United States.

The Pittsburgh Five and Jiang Dongbing also gained a large wave of fans across the United States. Countless media wanted to interview them, but most of them were declined by Jiang Dongbing.

"Coach, do you think this is human language?"

Jackson rushed into Jiang Dongbing's office with a newspaper and said angrily.

Jiang Dongbing took the newspaper curiously, and after reading it carefully, he frowned. He knew why Jackson was so angry.

There was an exclusive interview with Jayhawks head coach Roy Williams in the newspaper. The reporter, perhaps fearing that the world would be unstable, asked Williams about his views on the Pittsburgh Five and coach Jiang Dongbing. Williams gave this

An answer that outraged everyone in Pittsburgh.

"The Five Tigers of Pittsburgh are far inferior to the Five Tigers of Michigan. Even the Five Tigers of Michigan failed to win the championship, and Pittsburgh is even less likely to win the championship."

"Jiang Dongbing is a barbarian. He has no ability or qualifications to be a head coach."

"The players under Jiang Dongbing are also barbarians, and they don't deserve to win the game."

Words like this are everywhere in the reports, and it's no wonder that Jackson was so angry that he bared his teeth and claws.

Jiang Dongbing wondered whether Williams had specifically requested this interview to disgust Jiang Dongbing.
