Chapter 33 The Pittsburgh Five Tigers

The Pittsburgh Panthers' first away game was the Villanova Wildcats.

Jiang Dongbing didn't know how many teams there were in the entire NCAA, but he knew that there were 20 to 30.

I really don't understand why these teams prefer the Wildcats team name so much.

The Villanova Wildcats were the No. 3 seed team in the Eastern Conference of the National Championship last season. They are quite strong, but their situation is somewhat similar to Georgetown, and the core players in the team also went to participate in the draft.

Kry Kiddles was selected by the Nets with the No. 8 draw in the 1996 draft. After entering the NBA, he performed well and averaged 16.4 points per game in the rookie season, but due to injuries, he was also very popular in the later stage.

Kiddles is not injured yet and is regarded as a leading player in the 1996 Golden Generation. After all, his scoring ranks fourth among the 1996 rookies, and his shooting percentage is no worse than a natural shooter like Ray Allen. There is obviously a wonderful future.

As far as Jiang Dongbing knows, Xiao Gangdaner, the head player of the Raptors' future backcourt, is Villanova's player. He should be the strongest player in Villanova's history.

Now that this Villanova Wildcats lost Kiddles, it was like a tiger with teeth pulled out, and there was no threat to the Panthers at all.

The game on the court has begun. After David was silent for three consecutive games, he was in good shape today and maintained a high level of concentration in the game.

The great power Tianlong has shown its power, so there is no suspense in this game.

The first half was not over yet, and seeing that the Wildcats were already showing signs of giving up the game, the Black Panthers players became more and more excited as they played. They took advantage of the opportunity of their opponents' defense relaxing and dunked at the basket.

"Bang!" Byron Davis rushed to the basket and dunked the ball in with one arm.

Turning his head and coming to the Wildcats' offensive round, Davis successfully steals again, and one person quickly counterattacks and another dunk.

But this time there was a defensive player behind him, and Davis almost fell down when he landed.

When Jiang Dongbing saw this momentum, he felt that it was not good. As the saying goes, "Dog Huan is not good, and the Black Panthers players are playing too presumptuously on the court. If someone accidentally gets injured, Jiang Dongbing can't stand it.

Especially Davis, he has a "criminal record".

Under normal circumstances, Davis's freshman season made a slam dunk and he was seriously injured in his knee, causing him to be reimbursed throughout the season.

At that time, everyone felt that the player was completely ruined, but Davis returned to the arena with amazing perseverance.

Davis, who later entered the NBA, almost changed from a flying stream player to a floor stream player, which was the reason for this heavy blow.

Jiang Dongbing doesn't want Davis under his command to be hit hard. The most important thing is that he wants to win the championship this year, and he will win the championship beautifully. Davis is indispensable in the lineup.

If Davis reimburses it, the Panthers' strength will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

"Dududu!" Jiang Dongbing called a timeout and called the main player on the court to his side.

"Guys, I know you're very excited to play and want to show off your explosive physical fitness on the court."

"But you are all future superstars. Don't do many actions that may put yourself in danger, because this may ruin your career."

"It's not that you don't want to dunk. The first premise is that you can ensure that you are not injured. If you hurt the Achilles tendon or knee, you should be very clear about the seriousness of the matter." Jiang Dongbing said to the main player with a serious face.

Several young people nodded silently, how many stars were completely scrapped due to injuries? They didn't know, but they knew very well that they would never want such things to happen to them.

"Okay, coach, we'll pay attention."

"The coach is right. We don't need to do those flashy things, just score honestly."

"Yes, the opponent is just a sick cat with a tooth pulled out. We are dunking against such weak people and raging in various ways at home. The situation is really small, like a red neck who suddenly gains power."

The players also knew that Jiang Dongbing was considering their future, so they simply agreed not to do those dangerous dunks next.

Jiang Dongbing nodded with satisfaction. His players are still quite sensible, not the kind of blind man who doesn't know anything about it.

Some players are completely disdainful of their coach's suggestions, and may even break up with the coach because of these suggestions and force the management to drive away the coach.

Now Jiang Dongbing may enter the NBA next year, and it is not impossible to encounter such a player in the future.

...

After the players returned to the court, they became much more stable and there was no such attack that could threaten their safety.

Those who can make empty baskets will never dunk, and those who can use pick-and-roll shooting will never play any fun. The Panthers on the court are like a mature professional team.

Amid the referee's whistle, the Panthers won again in their first away game.

David played for 27 minutes in this game. Although there were only a few minutes of low-level mistakes, the overall flaws did not conceal the merits. He scored 3 points, 21 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks tonight, helping the team dominate the rebounds again.

...

In the blink of an eye, time has entered 1998. The Panthers did not lose in 14 games before the New Year, and the starting five Tigers became the hottest star lineup in the United States.

The last starting lineup shocked NCAA was the Michigan Five Tigers of the University of Michigan Wolverines. Now the Panthers fans have named Jackson and others Pittsburgh Five Tigers.

Although the Michigan Five Tigers failed to win the championship trophy due to some unexpected factors, they are still regarded as the most terrifying five-player combination between 1991 and 1993.

Kings Chris Weber, Huo's second uncle Zhu Wan Howard, "81-pointer Mr. Jaylen Ross, Ray Jackson and Jamie King, the two behind can only be regarded as minions, but the first three have made a name for themselves in the NBA, especially Kings Weber, who is the most luxurious power forward in the history of the game. In terms of strength alone, he can also rank among the top ten in the power forward position.

Their popularity is so high that any fan who follows NCAA will definitely not have heard of their names.

Now the Pittsburgh Five Tigers have shown their strength no less than the Michigan Five Tigers, and they are even better. After all, the Michigan Five Tigers have never achieved a terrifying record of 14 consecutive victories at the start of the game.

Jiang Dongbing knew very well that his Pittsburgh Five Tigers' combat power was definitely stronger than that of Michigan Five Tigers. If these two teams really met, the winner would definitely be his Pittsburgh Five Tigers.

The backcourt of the Michigan Five Tigers is too weak, and the backcourt combination of Jackson and Davis can definitely beat them. As for Michigan's powerful inside line, Jiang Dongbing does not think that David and Odom will lose too much to the opponent.

Of course, there is no need to say much about David, and Odom, who is serious, has a very terrible strength. Jiang Dongbing even feels that if Odom can get rid of the bad habit of inattention, maybe he is another Chris Webber.
