Chapter 29 Is he really Asian?
All members of the Panthers were beaming. The victory in this game was of much greater significance than the training game against the Jayhawks.
Jackson scored 32 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in this game. He truly demonstrated what it means to be a qualified leader on both offense and defense.
In addition to Jackson, David's performance tonight was also quite outstanding. In the matchup with Zwick, David scored 1 point, 18 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks, which was much better than Zwick's data.
.
This point was scored by David's free throw. David still didn't take any shot in this game.
The most surprising thing is the performance of Baron Davis. This fledgling rookie scored a double-double of 22 points and 13 assists tonight, making North Carolina fans extremely jealous.
If they can have such a backcourt engine in their team, North Carolina's strength will definitely be improved to a higher level.
The statistics of Odom and Artest are not particularly outstanding, but no one can deny their role on the court.
Odom made a great contribution to this victory by using his passing ability and mobility, and Artest's defense also made great contributions.
Of course, Jiang Dongbing's two tactics tonight are also eye-catching.
"Boss, Mr. Pirlo called just now and said that he had helped us contact the venue and the media." The team's assistant coach Billy Jones said in Jiang Dongbing's ear.
Billy Jones is the team's chief assistant coach, and he also came with him for this training match.
"Huh? Why contact the media?" Jiang Dongbing asked curiously.
"In the press conference after the game, we defeated North Carolina, a real victory over North Carolina. Mr. Pirlo didn't want to miss this opportunity to make the school famous," Billy Jones said with a smile.
Jiang Dongbing nodded, "Okay, I will take the players to the locker room first, and then go to the press conference in half an hour."
It has to be said that Pirlo, as the school's director of basketball affairs, is very thoughtful. Taking advantage of this opportunity to defeat North Carolina, the Panthers can really shine.
The reputation of the school is so important. If it doesn't have a reputation, how can it recruit those talented students?
Take the three of Odom as an example. If the Pittsburgh Panthers were just a little-known first-tier team, then even if Turner came up with a flower, they wouldn't be able to join the Panthers.
In addition, NCAA players who come from prestigious schools can also have an advantage in the draft and get higher picks.
…
After Jiang Dongbing led the players back to the locker room, took a shower and changed clothes, then took Jackson and Davis to the press conference venue.
After entering the venue, Jiang Dongbing could clearly feel that the two young men, Jackson and Davis, were a little nervous. After all, there were many reporters at the venue, and there was a huge crowd.
"Don't be nervous, guys, we are the winners today." Jiang Dongbing said with a smile.
The two nodded, "Coach, if reporters ask us questions later, is there anything we can't say?"
Jiang Dongbing smiled and shook his head, "There is nothing you can't say. Just say what you think in your heart."
After the three people sat down, assistant coach Billy Jones first thanked the reporters for their support, and then announced that the press conference had officially begun.
"Coach Jiang, congratulations on winning the North Carolina Tar Heels, could you please comment on the current performance of the Tar Heels?" A reporter got the opportunity to ask questions and stood up to ask a weird question.
Jiang Dongbing cleared his throat. This question was not a problem for him.
"The Tar Heels are a powerful team with a long history and strong foundation. They performed brilliantly on the court today." Jiang Dongbing said with a smile.
The reporter who asked the question relentlessly asked, "If that's the case, why did they lose so miserably tonight?"
"Because our Pittsburgh Panthers also have a long history and a strong foundation, and our performance today was much better than theirs." Jiang Dongbing said with a smile.
This is not Jiang Dongbing's boasting, the Panthers have a long history, not much worse than the North Carolina Tar Heels.
While praising his opponents, Jiang Dongbing did not want to be overly modest, because he had to be responsible for his players. They performed so well today. If Jiang Dongbing was overly modest, how could he be worthy of their efforts.
"Coach Jiang, I heard that you played a training match with the Kansas Jayhawks in private a week ago, and you beat them by a margin of 44 points. Is this the case?" Another reporter stood up and asked.
"Yes, this is indeed the case."
"Speaking of which, I actually regret playing this training match."
"Because we wasted a day's worth of training time, this training match has no training effect for us at all. The Jayhawks are too weak." Jiang Dongbing said mercilessly.
The reporters in the audience were stunned. Judging from the score, there is nothing wrong with saying that the Jayhawks are too weak, but Jiang Dongbing said it so openly? Isn't he afraid of offending others?
Jackson's face was full of smiles. He now understands Jiang Dongbing's temperament better and better. When reporters asked about the Jayhawks, he knew that Jiang Dongbing would definitely give a similar answer.
Sometimes Jackson doubts whether Jiang Dongbing is Asian, because the Asians he knows are very reserved in character, and Jiang Dongbing's character obviously has nothing to do with being reserved.
Even people like Jackson feel that Jiang Dongbing's character is too radical and extreme.
"Coach Jiang, don't you think it was luck that you won against the Jayhawks or Tar Heels?" the reporter just asked continued.
Jiang Dongbing shook his head dissatisfied, "Luck? No, no, no, we are a championship team. Whether we win against the Jayhawks or North Carolina, this cannot be said to be luck."
"Yes, how can this be called luck? We are destined to win the championship this season. Isn't it normal to win against the Jayhawks and North Carolina?" Jackson took over the conversation and said.
The reporters at the scene were speechless. The master and apprentice really didn't know what modesty was. One was more impressive than the other.
However, they also know very well that if the Panthers can really continue this dominance in the next year's Black Three, they will really be the championship team.
Seeing Jackson speak, the reporters targeted Jackson again.
"Stephen, congratulations on your perfect game. You have already played against Vince Carter and Paul Pierce, two of the top forward and defensive linemen in the NCAA. I don't know what your evaluation of them is."
Hearing this question, Jackson looked overjoyed. This was the question he had been waiting for.
"Carter is pretty good. He seemed to have scored 24 points tonight, right? It caused us a little trouble. As for you saying that Pierce is a top player, I don't think he deserves this title."
"I can easily score 40 or even 50 points on Pierce. What kind of top player is this?" Jackson laughed.
"It is now predicted that both of them will participate in next year's NBA draft. Stephen, do you have such thoughts?"
"Yes, of course, after winning the championship for the Panthers this year, I will sign up for the draft!"
The reporters became more and more speechless. Jackson said this as if they had already won the championship.
"Byron, today is your first show since entering the NCAA. Against a strong team like North Carolina, you can still score such beautiful data. It's really shocking." The reporter praised Davidson.
Davis' performance tonight was indeed outstanding. With such statistics in his first game against North Carolina, he is like a rising star in the backcourt.
"Thank you, but I think the reason why I was able to perform like this today is entirely due to the coach."
"First of all, the coach's original tactics gave me a lot of room to perform. If I had used other tactics, such as North Carolina's four-corner tactics, I might not have been able to perform like this."
"Secondly, the coach's training is very unique. You may not believe it. Under the coach's instructions, I have changed completely in a short period of time. I have never been as strong as I am now." Davis said in a sincere tone.
.
These words directly resonated with Jackson, "Yes, Byron is right. The coach's tactics give us a lot of room to play."
"By the way, this tactic is called Jiang Style Triangle Kill. With this tactic, our strength has been directly upgraded to a higher level."
"As for the coach's training, whoever uses it knows it, and the effect is ridiculously good!"
The reporters' curiosity was immediately aroused. They were not curious about the Jiang Style Triangle Kill. The Panthers used this tactic most of the time in today's game, and they already had some understanding of this tactic.
