"Thank you, Coach Jiang." After the game, Robin excitedly took Jiang Dongbing's hand and thanked him repeatedly.

Jiang Dongbing was a little embarrassed. He originally felt that David could get at least 30 rebounds in his debut. After all, even Jackson's rebounding attribute was only 52 points. David's rebounding attribute of 80 points undoubtedly crushed the entire audience.

.

"There's nothing to thank you for. This is what I should do."

"Robin, David's performance in this game cannot be said to be very good. I hope you will have a good chat with him."

"The only thing he has to do on the court now is to fight for rebounds. I hope he will grab rebounds without mercy whether he is facing opponents or teammates. This is the only way for him to get ahead." Jiang Dongbing directed at Robin.

He said with seriousness and sincerity.

As the saying goes, you have to be famous early, especially at the age of eighteen. If David can't make a name for himself in the basketball world, there will be no hope for him in this life.

After all, the NBA is a business league, and even though the NCAA is nominally a non-commercial league, what they do is no different from a business league.

Two players are of equal strength, one is unknown, and the other is famous and has a large fan base. In this case, which player will the commercial league prefer? You can guess it with your big toe.

Coupled with the subsequent efforts of the league to train them, it is very likely that these two players will have completely different life trajectories in the future.

Robin hesitated a little, "Isn't this good, Coach Jiang, do you want David to steal data, even if it's his teammates' data?"

Jiang Dongbing nodded silently, "That's right."

"There's nothing wrong with it. If you want David to be selected in the draft, sign an attractive salary contract, and live a lifetime of food and clothing, you can only let David do this."

These words directly hit Robin's heart. As a mother, especially when her child has almost no ability to live alone, she is extremely eager for Jiang Dongbing's words to become a reality.

…

The opening game of the Great Northeast Athletic League ended with a hearty slaughter worthy of making the news.

The Kansas Star, a local newspaper in Kansas, reported on this game, but to Jiang Dongbing's great disappointment, the space given by the Star was extremely small, less than a hundred words in total, and was placed in a corner without even a photo.

Didn't even let go.

"It seems it's still not amazing enough. They still need to produce better data." Jiang Dongbing frowned and thought.

This is because Stephen Jackson participated in the game. Without him, even if someone scored 75 points, it might not be enough to make the news.

Jiang Dongbing took a look at the upcoming schedule. The second game was still their home court, and their opponent was the Leviathan University Raiders.

As a private Catholic university, the team name they chose seems to have nothing to do with their teachings.

"Guys, although we slaughtered our opponents in the opening game, it didn't cause too much trouble in Kansas."

Before the game started, Jiang Dongbing called Jackson and David in front of him and started a small game.

"Stephen, you must attack and attack again in this game. You must score at least 100 points for me. For this, you can give up defense and rebounds!" Jiang Dongbing said to Jackson alone.

Jackson was secretly stunned. If he was playing for a first-level league team now and the coach shouted to him to score 100 points, he would definitely turn around and leave.

100 points in a single game, who are you kidding? This is too difficult.

But because the opponent was too weak, Jackson felt that he would devote all his energy to offense. As long as his luck was not so bad, he would have a chance to score 100 points.

"David, as for your goal tonight, it doesn't require you to score, nor does it require you to perform well on the defensive end. I just hope you can grab more rebounds!"

"You have to understand that with your current rebounding level, if you don't score more than 30 rebounds in a game, it only proves that you are not suitable for basketball." Jiang Dongbing said to David Taillon again.

.

David Tailong's expression was still a little confused. Jiang Dongbing sighed, not sure whether David could understand what he meant.

Jiang Dongbing is very convinced that David's rebounding ability is unprecedented in the third-level league. Even the rebounding attribute of asxs No. 1 center Ben in college cannot reach 80!

Moreover, Da Ben is not actually from the third-level alliance, he is a student from the second-level alliance.

…

"Dudududu!"

The referee blew the whistle, and the Grizzlies' home game against the Raiders officially began.

Jiang Dongbing sat on the sidelines leisurely. There was no suspense about winning or losing the game. The only suspense was how many points Jackson could score and how many rebounds David Taillon could get.

Robin was sitting not far from the bench, clenching his fists and nervously watching the situation on the field.

It was still a one-sided massacre, but this time the situation changed a bit, because Jackson hardly defended, so the opponent's offensive efficiency was pretty good.

David Taillon was much more motivated than in the previous game. He easily grabbed 8 rebounds in the first ten minutes. If Jackson's shooting percentage hadn't been so high, his rebound count would have definitely broken double figures.

But after ten minutes, David exposed an extremely fatal problem, that is, his poor concentration on the game.

From time to time, there will be distractions, unnecessary mistakes and fouls, which have won many opportunities for the opponent.

By the time the second half was played, David Taillon had already committed five fouls and had a total of 14 rebounds, while also contributing 7 turnovers.

Regarding this situation, Jiang Dongbing naturally had a headache. David, who had high hopes for him, did not perform to match his strength.

He also knows very well that the crux of the problem lies in concentration in this game.

In the first ten minutes, David's performance was actually remarkable. If the whole game can maintain this level, then it is still possible for David's rebound count to reach 30 tonight.

The key is that David's concentration on the game is too poor, which prevents him from maintaining his condition on the court for a long time.

This is a very difficult problem. The current opponents are all rookies. Even if David makes a lot of mistakes and fouls, it will not have much impact on the situation.

But David cannot always stay in the third-tier league and play in the league. If he encounters a strong team in the future, he will become a fatal flaw for his own team.

"Coach, what are you thinking about? With a sullen face, am I still not satisfied with your performance tonight?" Jackson happily ran to Jiang Dongbing's side.

105 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal are the statistics Jackson produced tonight. No wonder he is grinning to the back of his head.

Jiang Dongbing waved his hand, "Satisfied, this is the performance you should perform."

"Continue to perform like this and you will become the most handsome kid in the NCAA."

The Grizzlies still have a lot of games to play in the Northeast Athletic League. If tonight's data can be continued, Jackson will be able to accumulate a large number of fans before entering the NBA, which will be extremely beneficial to his future development.

The day after the game, Butler and the Grizzlies appeared in the Kansas City Star again, this time in a much larger space. After all, they had scored over 100 points.

However, the report only mentioned Jackson's name, and the names of coach Jiang Dongbing and David Taillon were not reported.

…

Boring training is still going on every day. Jackson has tasted the benefits. He can clearly feel that his strength has improved, so his training attitude is getting better and better now.

Within a week, Jiang Dongbing led the Grizzlies to play two more games, and both of them beat their opponents with terrifying margins.

Jackson is getting stronger as time goes by, his breakthrough ability has already reached 80, and Jackson's mid-range shooting ability will soon reach the 80 mark after the start of the new season.

Jiang Dongbing plans to improve Jackson's three-point attributes next. If you really want to increase points, three-pointers are undoubtedly the best weapon.

Jackson's three-point attribute is now 66 points. By the end of the playoffs, it should be improved to 80 points.

When all three of Jackson's offensive abilities are improved to 80 points, it can be said that Jackson can already compete in the first-level league. Although he will definitely not be able to chop vegetables like he is now, his offensive end will definitely be at the top level.

David Taillon still has many problems here. His single defense attribute has now been improved to 52 points, but his role on the field is extremely limited.

Maybe those scumbag players performed better than him at certain moments...
