Chapter Eleven Who is the King of Kansas
Now Jiang Dongbing just wants to take advantage of the Jayhawks and let the Butler Grizzlies attract more people's attention.
If this challenge is won, the Butler Grizzlies will undoubtedly become a miracle in NCAA history, a miracle worthy of being recorded in history.
Even if he loses, as long as he doesn't lose too badly, Jiang Dongbing won't lose this time.
As a third-level league team, even just playing against a team like the Jayhawks is already considered a legacy.
"Okay, Jiang, I'll contact the president of the University of Kansas."
"It's a friendly match. I think he won't reject me, but are you sure we won't lose to them by 50 points?" Vitti asked worriedly.
Jiang Dongbing smiled bitterly, how to answer this kind of question? If our players are in extremely poor condition, then it is possible to lose by 50 points.
…
Jackie Vitti is quite well-known in the education circle of Kansas. He is able to sit in the position of principal at just under forty years old. He is by no means an ordinary person.
She stepped forward and called the president of the University of Kansas directly, and the other party readily agreed. After all, this was not an embarrassing matter.
Now the Big 12 Conference to which the University of Kansas belongs has finished its intra-conference games and is waiting for the arrival of Black March.
During this period, they will also look for some weaker teams to play friendly matches to build confidence in the players, but teams as weak as the Grizzlies were definitely not within their consideration before.
After learning that the Jayhawks agreed to play a friendly match, Jackson was undoubtedly the most excited person.
Playing against top schools, especially if the other team has a star player at the same position as you, as long as you can dominate, this will be extremely beneficial to your future draft.
Although Pierce has already announced that he will not participate in the draft after his sophomore season, scouts from each team have given high praise to Pierce and believe that he is definitely a sure-fire lottery pick.
Jackson can't wait to play against Pierce. He is younger than Pierce. If he can defeat Pierce, it will be enough to prove that he has a stronger talent than Pierce.
Jiang Dongbing is also extremely excited. After waiting for such a long time after time travel, he has finally slowly entered the inner circle of American basketball. Next, he will encounter more and more top stars in his memory.
…
"David, I just received a call from Coach Jiang. You will go to Lawrence in three days."
"You are about to play a friendly match against the Jayhawks!" Robin said excitedly to David, who looked dull.
No Kansans are unfamiliar with the Jayhawks, and Robin never imagined that his children would have the opportunity to play against the Jayhawks.
She knew very well how precious this opportunity was, so she especially wanted David to perform well in this game.
"Kid, cheer up for this game. This is the game of your life. Put all your attention into the game."
"Maybe you still don't know the significance of this game. If you can perform well in this game, your mother will not have to work so hard from now on."
"From now on, you will have many more friends."
"More importantly, if you are worthy of Coach Jiang's efforts for you, you should know very well that he is different from other coaches in that he can see the potential in you!"
"He is the only coach in the world who understands you and the only coach who is willing to pay for you."
"If you don't want Coach Jiang to be disappointed in you, use all your strength in this game."
If Jiang Dongbing were present, he would probably blush with embarrassment. He is not as great as Robin said.
David Tyrone lowered his head. After a long time, he slowly raised his head and said softly to Robin: "Okay."
A simple word, but it made Robin cry with joy. Even to his own mother, David rarely spoke.
"Mom believes in you, kid, come on!" Robin squeezed David's hand tightly and said hopefully.
…
Three days later, Jiang Dongbing and ten of his players appeared in the simple city of Lawrence.
Lawrence City is really simple, not the kind of simple Gotham City with simple folk customs. The city's public security is much better than other cities in the United States.
Jiang Dongbing wondered why Pierce stabbed more than a dozen people later. Maybe he was used to Lawrence's simplicity and underestimated the brutality of the city of Boston...
After successfully checking into the hotel, everyone rested for the entire afternoon and looked forward to the game in the evening.
Not only Jiang Dongbing and Jackson, but also those scumbag players are actually looking forward to this game. They can say that they will never be able to participate in a professional game in this life, and they may even be unable to pay for the tickets to watch the game in the future.
Now they have the opportunity to play against the top teams in the NCAA, which will undoubtedly be the highlight of their lives.
If I could score a few more goals, I would be able to brag about it for a lifetime.
At seven o'clock in the evening, led by the student player manager of the University of Kansas, Jiang Dongbing and others entered the home arena of the University of Kansas.
"There are so many people. Is this the arena of a top university?" Jackson murmured after entering the stadium.
Compared to Butler Arena, the University of Kansas' arena is almost ten times larger, and the hardware facilities make Butler Arena like a refugee cave.
"Coach, how should we play tonight?" Jackson calmed down and asked Jiang Dongbing.
Jackson had never asked a similar question before in a Northeastern Athletic League game. His opponent was too weak to deserve his words.
"You have to work harder tonight. The first job is still to show your offensive firepower. The second job is to defend Paul Pierce. The third job is to take care of the opponent's inside player LaFrentz and help David share the defensive pressure." Jiang Dongbing frowned.
said.
In addition to Pierce, the Jayhawks also have top players like Reeve LaFrentz on the team. Under normal circumstances, LaFrentz participated in the 1998 draft at the same time as Pierce.
Pierce was the tenth pick and LaFrentz was the third pick!
However, although LaFrentz was drafted higher than Pierce, this does not mean that LaFrentz is now better than Pierce. The main reason is that there were too few outstanding local big men in the 1998 draft, and the decent one was the No. 1 pick Oluo.
Vaucandi and LaFrentz.
Things are more valuable when they are scarce, and the unspoken rule of the current draft is still that there is still a big selection in the general election, so LaFrentz's pick will be much higher.
"No need!" A low voice came into Jiang Dongbing's ears.
Jiang Dongbing turned around and looked, wondering if he was hearing hallucinations. David Taillon was talking to him?!
Jackson was also startled and looked at David Taillon with a ghostly expression. He had previously wondered whether his teammate was mute.
"No? David, are you saying that you can defend LaFrenz alone?" Jiang Dongbing asked David Taillon in as gentle a tone as possible.
This time David Taillon did not reply, but nodded silently.
Jiang Dongbing was overjoyed, and his whole face looked distorted with a smile. If David could really defend LaFrentz, then the Grizzlies' chances of winning this game would increase by at least 40%!
From the original zero winning rate to a 40% winning rate!
With a rebound attribute of 80 and a single defense attribute of 80, if David can perform normally, guarding LaFrentz will definitely not be a problem.
The two strongest points of the Jayhawks are LaFrentz and Pierce. Now that the two aces in his hand can suppress the opponent, the winning rate will naturally increase greatly.
"good!"
"Guys, prepare to fight. Let the five thousand people here take a closer look at who is the king of Kansas." Jiang Dongbing waved his hand and shouted excitedly at his generals.
Chapter completed!
