In the final game against Syracuse University, the Panthers once again won easily.

When the game reached the last ten minutes, it had already entered garbage time, and Syracuse University obviously did not want to continue to struggle.

As the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the Big East Conference's regular season schedule officially ended.

The number one record is naturally the Pittsburgh Panthers. They have achieved a historical record of 31 wins and 0 losses. It has been decades since the creation of the Big East Conference, but there has never been a team that can match the Panthers.

Such dominance.

The main reason is that there are too many strong teams in the Big East Conference. It is not that easy for a team to take the lead.

And now, relying on the strength of the Pittsburgh Five, the Panthers have truly dominated the Big East Conference.

Early the next morning, various media and the management committee released various honors for this season.

Jiang Dongbing won the title of Big East Conference Head Coach of the Year without any suspense. It is completely impossible for this honor to go to anyone else.

In addition to awards within the league, Jiang Dongbing also won a series of honors such as the Associated Press Coach of the Year, ESPN Coach of the Year, etc. It was a great harvest.

It's normal to think about it. At Jiang Dongbing's age, leading the team to achieve such dazzling results can be regarded as a miracle among miracles. No matter how many awards he wins, it's normal.

Jackson and Davis were directly selected to the All-American first team, which is no suspense. I have searched all current NCAA players and found no other players who can compete with Jackson and Davis in these two positions.

Bibby, the white devil, could compete with Davis, but the team's record was far inferior to that of the Panthers, so naturally they lost to Davis.

In addition to being an All-American, Jackson has also received many valuable honors, including Big East Player of the Year, NABC Player of the Year, AAC Rookie of the Year, Big East Rookie of the Year, etc.

Among them, the honor of NABC Player of the Year is quite valuable, mainly because this honor is selected by the National Coaches Association, which means that in the eyes of coaches across the United States, Jackson is the best among this group of players.

Davis also won the Bob Cousy Award. This award is specially designed for point guards, and its gold content is no less than that of the All-American.

It can be said that these two people really stole the show and became the most popular supernovas in the United States.

The remaining three players, David, Odom and Artest, are also weak in winning awards, but the awards they receive are all league awards, so the gold content is naturally much lower.

Artest won the Big East Defensive Player of the Year award. In terms of defensive strength, Artest may not be as good as Jackson now, but Jackson has too many awards. The administrative committee will

The less valuable award went to Artest.

In addition to these subjective awards, all the awards in objective data are also won by the Pittsburgh Five.

Jackson averaged 31.2 points and 2.4 steals per game, winning the Big East Conference scoring and steals titles.

David averaged 17.9 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game, winning the Big East Conference rebounding title and blocks title.

Davis averaged 11.3 assists per game and won the Big East assists title!

The top five places in terms of positive statistics are all occupied by the Pittsburgh Five. This is such an unprecedented event. It is no wonder that the Pittsburgh Five can achieve such a winning regular season record!

The Pittsburgh Five, who were already popular all over the United States, have reached an incredible level of fame after these honors were released.

One of the hottest topics in the United States right now is, in addition to whether the Pittsburgh Five will repeat the mistakes of the Michigan Five, there is also whether the top five generals will participate in this year's draft!

It is almost March now, and by April or May, those players who are trying to participate in the draft will have to register, otherwise they will miss the draft.

After intense discussions among fans across the United States, it is now certain that Jackson will definitely participate in the draft, because he has revealed in press conferences more than once before that he will participate in this year's draft.

As for the other four, fans have their own opinions.

"Baron Davis will probably not participate in the draft. The competition in this year's draft is too fierce. In addition to Jackson, Davis also has competition from Bibby at the same position. He may not be selected among the top three picks.

selected."

"David and Ron, it's better not to participate in the draft. They'd better expand their offensive methods in the next year. No team will use high draft picks to select blue-collar players."

"Who said Davis can't get the top three picks? He is definitely stronger than Bibby. Why can't he get the top three picks?"

"Yes, David really can't participate in the draft. He feels too similar to Mark Eaton to me. What was Mark's original draft pick? The third pick in the fourth round?!"

Similar heated discussions fill the fan circles across the United States. Fans are embarrassed to go out without chatting about the Pittsburgh Five after meeting.

…

In Jiang Dongbing's office, the Five Tigers of Pittsburgh gathered together and they were discussing a major matter.

Pirlo was also sitting in the office, but judging from his troubled expression, it was obvious that he was not the protagonist of this meeting.

"Coach, are you sure you don't want me to stay for another year?" Jackson spoke first. He is the big brother of this team and is naturally the number one target of this meeting.

Jiang Dongbing shook his head, "Go and participate in your draft. Your chances of being selected as the number one pick this year are extremely high. You can't afford to miss such a good opportunity."

"The coach is talking as if I have no chance of being the No. 1 pick next year. If I play under you for another year, then my chances of being the No. 1 pick will not be extremely high, but 100% No. 1 pick." Jackson said with confidence.

.

"Since the coach doesn't need me, after I finish the tournament and win the championship, I will sign up for the draft. Is that okay with you?" Jackson said again.

Pirlo bared his teeth. Of course he had an opinion, and his opinion was very big.

If possible, he is willing to let Jackson play for the Panthers until he is forty...

But he also knew very well that it was a certainty that Jackson would participate in the draft, and no one could change it. If he tried to dissuade him, would Jackson not participate in the draft? Obviously impossible.

Unless Jiang Dongbing lowers his face to dissuade Jackson, but Jiang Dongbing will run away next year, what reason is there for Jackson to stay?

Pirlo's heart is bleeding. A player as good as Jackson leaving the team is a huge loss for the Panthers.

…

Generally speaking, discussions about the draft are placed after the tournament. However, the Panthers' situation is too special. They are very sure of winning the championship, so they simply take advantage of the period before the tournament begins to discuss it first.

Speak everything clearly.

The purpose of this meeting is exactly this. The school wants to hear whether the top five players have draft plans and prepare for the new season in advance.

After hearing Jackson's answer, Jiang Dongbing nodded with satisfaction. Helping Jackson become the number one pick will be part of his work.

Then Jiang Dongbing looked at the remaining four people and asked, "What about you? What do you think?"

Under normal circumstances, Davis, Odom and Artest all participated in the 1999 draft. Davis was the third overall pick, Odom was the fourth pick, and Artest's pick was
Chapter completed!
