Chapter 6 Jiang Chen Is the Offensive Core! Kobe Plays as a Supporting Role?
After listening to Phil's words, everyone showed surprised expressions, and then focused their attention on Kobe.
The Lakers are Kobe's team.
And now Phil is asking Kobe to assist a water cooler player?
This is a bit unbelievable.
Even though Jiang Chen scored consecutively, he even brought hope of a reversal to the team.
But he is a water cooler player after all!
When the two core players Kobe and Gasol come on the court, the ball will definitely be handed over to them, and Jiang Chen can only be a fixed-point three-point shooter.
But now Phil has made a bold arrangement, even going against the grain.
But would Kobe agree?
Many thoughts flashed through everyone's minds, and their expressions became interesting.
"No problem! Jiang Chen is the one who gave us the hope of a reversal in this game, so we should let him continue to attack!"
Kobe said in a deep voice that the emotions of heartache and despair had turned into strength, and he couldn't wait to participate in the game.
Everyone was surprised again.
Is this still the paranoid and arrogant Kobe?
"Okay! Let's give it one last try!"
Phil spoke loudly to encourage the players.
The eyes of all Lakers players became determined again, waiting for the timeout to end so as to complete this amazing reversal.

"Scoring consecutively, Jiang Chen's performance during this period is truly amazing!"
Yang Jian said in surprise, and became excited.
Ever since Jiang Chen became a substitute player, Yang Jian no longer had any hope for Jiang Chen.
And now, the heart that was dead to Jiang Chen began to beat again.
"A surprise! Jiang Chen has become the Lakers' surprise!"
"No matter what the result of this match is, Jiang Chen has already become a legend in this match!"
"He doesn't have to worry about his next job."
"I believe that by the end of the season, there will be many teams willing to offer Jiang Chen a good minimum salary contract."
Yang Yi said with relief.
Been waiting for a whole season!
In the garbage time at the most desperate moment of the finals, this player who was once highly anticipated by Chinese fans finally broke out.
It is truly like a blessing after a long drought.
I believe that there are many Chinese fans who, like Yang Yi, are filled with emotions and memories at this moment, and are happy for Jiang Chen.
If Jiang Chen can become a rotation player for a team next season, it will be considered living up to expectations.
After all, his situation is different from Yao Ming and they are not players of the same level.
Being able to gain a foothold in the NBA is the biggest wish of fans.
However, in Jiang Chen's rookie season, this wish was shattered by his poor performance...

"Brothers! Jiang Chen is really awesome!"
"Yeah! I was about to turn off the live broadcast, but was attracted back by Jiang Chen's performance."
"I'm fired up! I feel my blood boiling, and I want to go to the gym and play for a while now."
"Jiang Chen, go for it, and try to get rid of your status as a water cooler player, so that our Chinese players can impress the NBA and win glory for our country!"
"I'm here to say that if the Lakers can turn this game around, I'll upload nude photos!"
"Dude, you're breaking the law, and who wants to see naked pictures of a grown man?"
"Then I will upload my wife's bikini!!"
"..."
"..."
The comment section was filled with a wave of ellipsis marks, and then fell into a brief silence.
Countless netizens in front of their computers were watching the game, shouting "Come on!" and hoping that the Lakers would make a comeback!
After all, if you win, you can see the bikini...

Boston TD Garden.
Pause back.
Players from both sides come on stage.
It can be seen that both teams have replaced their main lineups.
The Celtics attack.
After Rondo dribbled across half court, he passed the ball to Pierce again.
This is also one of Rivers' tactics, which is to use his star player to crush Jiang Chen.
After all, in their eyes, Jiang Chen, as a water cooler player, is the weak link in the Lakers' defense.
Sometimes prejudice is so terrible.
Once you are labeled, even if you make changes and complete your transformation, it is difficult to change other people's inherent impression of you.
The last time Pierce missed a shot against Jiang Chen, it was only considered to be due to his bad touch and had nothing to do with Jiang Chen's defense.
"Brother, beat this Chinese player for me! The fourth quarter of the finals is not the place for him to perform."
Garnett roared while standing in the restricted area. He had been annoyed with Jiang Chen for a long time.
Trash talking is part of his game.
He is also a famous trash talker in the NBA.
While he was talking sweetly, he was also competing with Gasol for position.
It was precisely because of Garnett's comprehensive suppression of Gasol in the restricted area that the Lakers struggled in this series.
Gasol also worked very hard.
But compared to Garnett, the two are not players of the same level, that's the fact!
Without Gasol's help, the team can only rely on Kobe.
For the Celtics, all they have to do is defend Kobe.
But now, they have to be wary of this suddenly rising Chinese player.
Pierce was stimulated by Garnett's trash talk and his fighting spirit was ignited.
This time he chose to face the basket.
After a series of tentative steps, he found that there was no space for shooting, so he started to change directions continuously, then stepped back to increase the distance and easily made a mid-range shot.
The corners of Pierce's mouth slightly raised, feeling that this shot was perfect!
But the next second, his face turned gloomy again.
Because the basketball did not go into the basket, but bounced out.
Odom desperately grabbed the rebound and passed it to Kobe.
Kobe dribbled quickly while looking for Jiang Chen's position.
When the Celtics returned to defense, all their attention was on Kobe.
In their opinion, this paranoid man would definitely choose to attack himself.
At the critical moment of the game, Kobe never trusts anyone but himself.
But something unexpected happened.
Kobe had a chance to shoot when facing Rondo's mismatched defense, but he didn't do it. Instead, he passed the ball to Jiang Chen who ran around the screen and was at a 45-degree angle on the right side of the high post!!
Pierce, Garnett and others looked horrified.
Kobe... actually passed the ball?
