Chapter 5: Lakers' Morale Is Back! Jiang Chen Impresses the Crowd

Jiang Chen threw the basketball into the air.

At the same time, the Celtics player also hit his arm.

beep!

The referee's whistle sounded again.

Another 2+1.

The whole audience exclaimed.

What level is this?

Scored 2+1 twice in a row?

Is it that the Celtics' defense is too lax, or is it that this Chinese player is too capable?

It's somewhat outrageous.

Jiang Chen stood on the free throw line and made the free throw easily.

Sidelines.

Kobe stood up from the bench excitedly, waved his fist, and looked up at the big screen.

It's 21 points.

He looked at coach Phil with a pleading look in his eyes.

He wanted to go on the field and give it one last try.

Phil gave him a look, signaling him to be patient.

"Guys, try to pass the ball to Jiang Chen!"

Phil blew his whistle and shouted loudly towards the court.

Farmar, Luke Walton and other substitute players all nodded, the depression in their eyes disappeared and they became excited.

Under Jiang Chen's leadership, everyone's mentality changed and they became more motivated.

How could the Celtics win the championship so easily?

Even if the game is not suspenseful, we can't let them have it easy!

...

"Pierce! Go and restrict that Chinese player."

On the Celtics' bench, head coach Rivers waved to Pierce, who was sitting on the bench, and signaled him to go on the court.

Pierce was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect that he would have to play, and to defend a water dispenser player.

This is a bit beneath my dignity.

But for this championship that we have waited for more than ten years, it doesn't matter if we lose some face.

Besides, this Chinese player dared to be so arrogant in North Shore Garden. It's time to let him know who is the boss on this court.

Pierce stood up, took off his training suit, and walked towards the technical desk.

In addition to Pierce, Rivers also replaced two main players, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo.

"Let's widen the gap and extinguish the Lakers' last bit of hope!"

Rivers patted several people on the shoulders, his tone full of strong confidence.

Seeing the three main players of the Celtics appear on the court together, there was warm cheers from the audience.

All the audience knew that the Lakers' scoring time was over.

The Celtics attack.

Pierce walked straight to Jiang Chen, tilted his head and showed a cruel smile: "Young man, you performed well! I alarmed the coach to let me defend you, you should feel honored! Not every water cooler player is qualified to play against me."

As he spoke, he grabbed Jiang Chen's body and asked Rondo for the ball.

Rondo understood and passed the ball to Pierce with a high lob.

The fans at the scene were excited.

They really want to see Pierce teach this Chinese player a lesson.

Jiang Chen's face was serious, and the skill [Tomoki Tsukawa's Strongest Wall] was activated again.

This time we are facing the league's top small forward, I don't know if we can still have a significant effect.

Pierce backed up Jiang Chen, trying to get closer to the basket.

But the next second, he was shocked to find that he couldn't push it at all. It was as if there was a piece of iron plate behind him. No matter how hard he tried, it didn't move at all.

Damn, what kind of physical fitness is this?

How come he feels tougher than James?

Pierce complained in his heart, frowning slightly.

Jiang Chen became excited again when he saw this.

This is the power of [Atsushi Murasakibara's physical talent]!

It feels so f*****g good.

Not only does it give him extraordinary physical fitness, but it also gives him strength comparable to or even surpassing O'Neal!

How can Pierce compete with that?

After several unsuccessful attempts, Pierce could only turn around and step back for a jump shot.

BANG!

Blacksmith.

The defense of [Tomoki Tsukawa's Strongest Wall] worked.

If we calculate based on Pierce's 44.5% hit rate in this series, then under the effect of [Tomoki Tsukawa's Strongest Wall] skill, his hit rate is only a little over 20%.

It can be said to be ridiculously low.

The Lakers grabbed the backcourt rebound and quickly counterattacked.

But now that the Celtics have put on three main players, both offense and defense have improved by several levels, and their defense retreat speed is extremely fast.

Fall into position.

Pierce sticks to Jiang Chen like a dog-skin plaster.

The audience exclaimed after seeing it.

The Celtics' star player... guarded a water cooler player?

This picture is incredible no matter how you look at it.

Even Kobe, who was sitting on the bench, had a hint of surprise in his eyes and his face was full of relief.

This Chinese player, whom he usually didn't pay much attention to, suddenly became the savior of the Lakers and was recognized by his opponents!

On the court, Jiang Chen doesn't care who is defending.

in other words.

It's useless no matter who comes to defend.

He ran as fast as he could and got outside the three-point line with the help of his teammates' screens.

As soon as he received the basketball, Pierce chased after him at an extremely fast speed.

He only had a little space to attack.

Without hesitation, he jumped up and threw the basketball.

The movements are done in one go and are extremely beautiful.

Even Ray Allen frowned at this moment and couldn't help but admire in his heart.

Swish!

There were waves of white foam in the basket.

Once again, the ball went into the net.

The Lakers' bench was in a frenzy, waving towels wildly.

"Good job, man! You are the savior of the team, keep up the good work!"

Felsher roared loudly, his shiny forehead glinting slightly under the light.

"Oh my God! We are only 18 points behind! There are still 6 minutes left in the game. I see hope for a comeback."

Gasol said excitedly, his whole body shaking.

beep!

The referee blew the whistle.

Rivers called a timeout.

He keenly sensed a hint of crisis, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

"Guys, this is the finals, get serious!"

"We were leading by 33 points, but in just four minutes, we were chased down to 18 points."

"What will be the consequences if you continue like this? Do you want to play a game 7 with the Lakers?"

Rivers slapped the tactical board and roared angrily.

"Pierce, I don't care what method you use, just keep a close eye on that Chinese player and don't let him score again!"

"Ray Allen, take the shot when you find the opportunity. You are one of the greatest three-point shooters in NBA history. How can you be outdone by a water cooler player?"

"Garnett, you will also go on the court later and protect the rebounds!"

Rivers quickly arranged the tactics, his face looking terribly gloomy.

On the other side, the Lakers bench.

Phil was also busy making arrangements.

"Gasol, Kobe, Fisher, Odom, you guys will be on the court soon!"

"Jiang Chen has given us a chance to turn things around, and we must seize it."

"When we go on the court, Jiang Chen will be the core of the attack."

Phil said this with a look of surprise on his face.

Who could have thought that this yellow-skinned player from China would suddenly explode?

Originally, we just wanted him to feel the atmosphere of the finals during garbage time, but we didn't expect him to give the whole team a surprise and scare the opponent.

Now, with Jiang Chen as the core, Kobe and Gasol play as auxiliary.

Let's see if he can continue his amazing performance.
