Chapter 40 Insider Killer

On March 1, the first day of Black March, the opening match of the Eastern Conference kicked off in the Pittsburgh Municipal Arena.

As the most popular team in the United States and the host, the Pittsburgh Black Panthers naturally became the protagonist of the opening game.

The opponent is the No. 16 seed from the Big Ten League, Penn State Nitany Lions. Although the Panthers obviously killed the Lions in terms of strength, the most attractive thing about Black March is the endless upsets and dark horses. This game still attracted the attention of American fans.

Jiang Dongbing looked at the Nitani Lions team's lineup a few days ago and found an extremely interesting player.

Calvin Booth, I'm afraid 90% of the fans who are upward have never heard of this person's name, even though he has been playing in the NBA for a full ten years.

After playing for so long, he still can't give people a deep impression. Obviously, Booth's strength is not very good. His average number of games in the past ten years is only 3.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1 block.

The reason why Jiang Dongbing thinks this player is mainly because he has had several highlights in his career.

The first flash point was that he scored 10 blocks in 17 minutes. This is the data scored in the NBA main game. No one in NBA history has been able to double the blocks in such a short time.

As the best defensive player in the Big Ten this season, Booth's defense is quite unique, but because of his body, it is difficult for him to defend those super heavyweight centers.

The second highlight is related to Yao Ming.

As we all know, Yao Ming is a player with a good temper. He rarely conflicts with others in the NBA field, and will not get into trouble. Calvin Booth is an exception.

Booth is a player who has seriously eaten Yao Ming's big elbow and was knocked over. This one alone is enough for him to blow for the rest of his life.

The third highlight is that after Booth retired, he was a typical stadium frustration and excellence in the officialdom.

After retiring, Booth actually took the position of general manager of the Nuggets in July 2020, which was the season when the Nuggets eliminated the Clippers and entered the Western Conference Finals...

Calvin Booth's experience is extremely inspiring from an unknown man on the court to the team's top management step by step.

"David, your opponent tonight is Calvin Booth, the best defensive player in the Big Ten. Score high scores on him and prove yourself!" Before the game, Jiang Dongbing grabbed David's arm and whispered.

David nodded. He was originally planning to show his offensive strength in the championship game of the Great Eastern Conference, but was stopped by Jiang Dongbing.

In Jiang Dongbing's opinion, the stage of the Big East Alliance is still too small. Since it is going to make a big splash, why not release yourself on the stage of the National Championships and give fans around the world a surprise.

"Are you ready? Man."

"Let's go, let the whole world see the true strength of our Five Pittsburgh Tigers!" Jackson waved his hand and stepped onto the court with the generals.

Jiang Dongbing stood on the sidelines and felt a little nervous. He was not worried about losing this game. Although the frequency of the Black March upset is very high, there is absolutely no possibility of an upset in this game.

The only player in the opponent's lineup is Calvin Booth, and Booth's offensive ability is still very urgent. Facing the Black Panthers, who are both offensive and defensive and are at least one level stronger, the Lions have no hope of winning.

What Jiang Dongbing is really nervous about is David's performance in this game. He doesn't know whether David can show his due offensive ability against Booth, the DPOY in the Big Ten.

After the jump ball ended, the Panthers won the ball, but Davis still kept the ball and advanced.

It was the most familiar Jiang-style triangle killing position that fans on the scene were the ones. Davis passed the ball to Jackson on the left. After receiving the ball, Jackson used Artest's pick-and-roll to rush straight to the basket.

Such offensive rounds have appeared countless times in previous Black Panthers games. Most of the fans at the scene were local Pittsburgh fans, and they can already foresee what will happen next.

Jackson ended the attack by breaking or shooting. Even if he didn't score, David at the basket could grab the rebound and then pass it to Odom, who was on the right side, and Odom organized the second attack.

The simple tactics became unsolvable because of the powerful strength of the five people.

...

Unfortunately, Jackson's choice this time was completely beyond the expectations of fans.

He didn't choose to take action, but jumped high and passed the ball straight to David under the basket. He just watched David push back easily, pushing the opponent Booth effortlessly, and tiptoed onto the ball into the basket.

It was really put into the basket, and David completed an extremely standard stand-up dunk.

"Wow..." The scene was in an uproar. These Black Panther fans watched many games. This was the first time they saw David scoring in a sports game!

"Why does David feel so easy to score? Is it too bad for Calvin Booth to play against him?"

"How is it possible? Booth is also the best defensive player in the Big Ten League, and the DPOY in the top six leagues, how can it be eaten?"

"David's body is really outstanding. Booth can't withstand David's low-post back attack at all. The tonnage of these two people is not at the same level. In addition, David has a height and wingspan that crushes Booth, how can he defend himself?"

The fans at the scene were very happy. David gave them an unparalleled surprise in this offensive round.

Jiang Dongbing also showed joy on his face. It seemed that David was really ready. He really wanted to show his power on the offensive end tonight.

Booth, who was detained by David, didn't come back to his senses. He had never considered his defense against David at all. After all, David was recognized as having no offensive ability, but now after being detained by David, he had an extremely bad premonition in his heart.

In the next Lions offensive round, their outside offense was defended by the Panthers' iron gate, and David grabbed a defensive rebound from Booth's head.

Jiang Dongbing became more and more at ease when he looked at it. Not to mention anything else, David definitely beats Booth in terms of rebounding.

"Bang!" Davis failed to hit a three-pointer in the frontcourt.

David showed his power again, squeezed Booth's back long arm to take off his precious offensive rebound. What surprised the fans on the scene was that after grabbing the offensive rebound, David did not pass the ball like usual. While Booth's figure was not stable, he turned around and made another stand-up dunk.

The fans on the scene were stunned. In just one and a half offensive and defensive rounds, David actually scored 4 points and 2 rebounds!

Even Jackson and others were stunned. Before the game started, Jiang Dongbing asked Jackson to pass a few balls to David appropriately, which was the start of the game's deduction.

Jackson actually only knows that David has strong rebounds and defense at the basket, and he doesn't know David's offensive ability at the basket. As for Odom and the other three, he is even more unclear.

Now that I suddenly saw David erupting with such a terrifying offensive strength under the basket, I was extremely shocked.

It turns out that after a long time of trouble, there is such a terrifying inside killer among the five Pittsburgh tigers.
