After the timeout ended, the Jayhawks made tactical adjustments, allowing LaFrentz, who had been stationed inside, to move outside the three-point line.

Originally, the Jayhawks thought that even if LaFrentz's strength at the basket was not that good, they would definitely be able to crush him against a big man from a third-level league.

Now, after ten minutes of fighting, they suddenly discovered that LaFrentz had indeed been crushed, but was simply crushed by his opponent.

Instead of staying under the basket and acting as a backdrop, it is better to pull out the three-point line to play some role.

In the Jayhawks' offensive round, LaFrentz, who pulled out from the outside, hit a three-pointer, saving some of the situation for the Jayhawks.

"Switch defense, switch defense!"

"Stephen, don't let go." Jiang Dongbing saw that the situation was not good, and he was already giving instructions loudly from the sidelines.

Jackson understood clearly on the court that with David Taillon guarding his inside line, Pierce was completely humiliating himself when he broke into the basket.

Pierce took possession of the ball and reached the frontcourt, breaking through towards the penalty area. Jackson smiled evilly and ran directly towards LaFrentz.

David's defensive strength under the basket is terrifying, and Jackson knows it better than anyone else!

From the beginning when he was beating David under the basket to now when he is being beaten under the basket, he witnessed with his own eyes the rapid improvement of David's single defense ability under the basket.

Pierce's face was startled. He didn't expect that Jackson would let him go like this?

Seeing that there was only a stupid-looking big white man in front of him, Pierce had the confidence to score points under the basket under the defense of this stupid big man.

After rushing in front of David Taillon, Pierce jumped high. He felt that even if he couldn't dunk the opponent, he could still score a basket.

But the moment he took action, David Taillon, who had been sluggish all this time, suddenly rose up and struck the basketball in Pierce's hand accurately with his huge palm like a leaf fan.

Then there was only a loud bang. In front of everyone's astonished eyes, the basketball was slapped directly from the front court to the back court by David. After bouncing hard on the floor, it actually collapsed into the audience!

A middle-aged man in a dark suit in the audience caught the basketball, his face full of shock.

Pierce had already fallen to the ground, and this huge force directly pressed him down from mid-air!

The audience gasped, what kind of monster is this? An eighteen-year-old young man actually has such domineering power?!

"Philip, where did this big man come from? He could slap little Pierce to the ground, why have you never heard of it?" The middle-aged man who received the basketball said in shock.

He is Giles Turner, the player manager of the University of Pittsburgh. He came to watch the game this time, undoubtedly because of Stephen Jackson.

As for the Philip he was talking about, he was his colleague from Purdue University, another top NCAA school.

The two top schools have specially sent people to explore Jackson's situation this time to see if they can add a strong player to their respective teams.

The Pittsburgh Panthers are currently leaderless. The players on the team are pretty good, but they lack a top player who can control the situation.

The situation of the Purdue Boilermakers is generally similar. Since their core player Big Dog Robinson participated in the 1994 draft and was successfully selected as the No. 1 pick, the Boilermakers are now in an extremely difficult situation.

However, with a future All-Star center like Brad Miller on their team, their situation is slightly better than that of the Panthers.

"Turner, what? Are you attracted to this big man? How about you take this big man and give Stephen to us at Purdue?" Old Philip said with a naive smile.

Although David Taillon on the court also gave him a big shock, because of Brad Miller, Purdue University is definitely more inclined to accept Jackson, an outstanding player at the same position as Big Dog Robinson.

Turner smiled and shook his head slowly, "Old Philip, put away your tricks, we want this big man, and we won't miss Jackson."

"Yes, that's right, we want both of them!"

Old Philip suddenly became anxious, "Turner, you are dreaming, we will never let Jackson go!"

"Whether I am dreaming or not, you will know in a few months." Giles Turner said with a contemptuous smile, and then continued to focus on the game on the court.

…

After Pierce was slapped to the ground, he made a big fool of himself, but he still restrained himself. He just glared at David fiercely, then stood up and left.

Jackson laughed heartily. He had also made such a fool of himself under David, but not many people saw him when he made a fool of himself.

Jiang Dongbing on the sidelines was also very happy. After these few months of contact, he developed deep feelings for David Taillon.

Now that David is showing his talents for the first time, he feels a sense of pride in his heart. After all, this is the player he discovered with his own hands, Jiang Dongbing.

…

The game continues on the field and the Jayhawks have the ball.

LaFrentz still pulled out of the paint and got a chance to take an outside shot, but this time he failed to hit, and David took advantage of the rebound.

Jiang Dongbing has a headache. David Taillon's steps are not fast enough, making it difficult to chase LaFrentz. This will give the opponent many comfortable shooting opportunities.

If they continue to play like this, the Grizzlies' advantage is likely to be quickly wiped out.

If the Grizzlies had a flexible fourth-position player who was about 2.1 meters tall, then Jiang Dongbing would definitely not be so troubled. Directly adopting regional defense tactics could solve LaFrentz's problem.

However, the Grizzlies don't have such a fourth-position player, and maybe even hundreds of teams in the entire third-tier league can't find enough...

Jiang Dongbing had no choice but to wait and see what happened.

The Grizzlies' next offensive round was still directed by Jackson, who once again hit a mid-range shot under Pierce's defense.

Nowadays, Jackson's hard power is actually better than Pierce, so he can play with ease on the court.

The two sides fought back and forth, with the score rising alternately. Thanks to Jackson's wonderful performance, the Grizzlies still controlled the advantage.

Seeing that the first half of the game was coming to an end and his team was still seven points behind, Pierce became a little anxious.

At present, Jackson has scored 22 points, but he only scored 11 points. His personal data has been completely destroyed by Jackson. If he loses this game again, this will become a stain on his career that is difficult to wash away.

A Division I team loses to Division III? This has never happened in NCAA history!

The anxious Pierce was full of firepower. The trash talk was not only aimed at Jackson, but David Taillon also became his target.

What Jiang Dongbing was most worried about happened. David Taillon's concentration on the game was too low, which caused him to be deeply affected by these trash talks, and he made an extremely low-level mistake on the field.

Because of the motivation and encouragement of his mother Robin, David performed extremely well in these ten minutes and could be said to have completely dominated the basket.

But now Pierce's trash talk has greatly distracted David's concentration and made David's dominance disappear.

"Beep!" the referee blew the whistle to end the first half of the game.

The score between the two sides was 38:35, and the Grizzlies only led by three points, which made Jiang Dongbing on the sidelines even more anxious.

The importance of David to the Grizzlies is self-evident. Without David's rebound protection, even if Jackson is stronger than Pierce, the Grizzlies will definitely fall behind by a big score now.

Now Jiang Dongbing is afraid that the opponent will discover David's vulnerability to external factors and try his best to harass David. Then the Grizzlies will be completely disappointed in this game.

However, Jiang Dongbing was helpless about this. He could not stop Pierce's mouth. Trash talk itself was part of the game.

After the fifteen-minute break, players from both teams returned to the court.

Just as Jiang Dongbing worried, Pierce really realized David's shortcomings, and kept firing at David with his mouth like a machine gun.

What makes Jiang Dongbing grit his teeth even more is that Pierce is now not only talking trash, but also greeting people with small movements of his hands.

In his previous life, Jiang Dongbing admired Pierce very much, and of course he knew that Pierce had many small moves in his game.

This is not a sin. Just like trash talk, small moves are also part of the game. Jiang Dongbing knows this better than anyone.

But now that this little trick was done to one of his own players, and it was David, a special and emotional player, Jiang Dongbing couldn't bear it anymore.

David Taillon's face turned red on the court, and his helpless look made Jiang Dongbing feel even more distressed.
