Chapter 16 Post- Match Interview! I'm Telling the Truth

Facing the reporter's questions, Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment and said calmly: "Very calm! I just seized the opportunity to play and played as I should have!"

Um???

The reporters were a little confused.

Expected performance?

A water cooler player who had few opportunities to play and only made one three-pointer in the entire season, scored 35 points in less than 10 minutes at the most critical moment of the finals.

Is this the expected performance?

This is too arrogant!

Show off!

This Chinese player is definitely showing off.

"Are you confident that you can still play such a great performance in the next game? And make as many three-pointers as in this game?"

The reporter continued to ask, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

After just one explosive game, this Chinese rookie thinks he is a superstar like Kobe?

Did he forget his identity as an administrator player?

"Of course! Without a doubt, I believe I will perform better in the next game and maybe make more three-pointers."

Jiang Chen said lightly, his tone full of confidence.

After hearing this, the reporters all showed doubtful expressions and did not quite believe what Jiang Chen said.

Making 10 three-pointers in a game is already amazing.

Want to make 10 three-pointers in two consecutive games, or even more?

This isn't just pretense.

But I'm just bragging.

It's no wonder that reporters would question this. In NBA history, the record for three-pointers made in a single game is only 12.

This kind of record is hard to come by.

The condition can only be broken if one day the condition suddenly comes and the hands feel hot.

The right time, the right place and the right people are all essential.

Obviously, the reporters thought that Jiang Chen's hot hand tonight was in another realm, which was why he was able to make 10 three-pointers in a single quarter.

According to normal logic, things will always return to normal levels after an outbreak.

It is too difficult to continue this explosive performance, especially for a water cooler player.

So no one believed Jiang Chen's words. After all, since the three-point shot was introduced in the NBA, no player has ever been able to make more than 10 three-point shots in two consecutive games.

The former three-point king Larry Bird couldn't do it; the historical three-point king Reggie Miller couldn't do it; the current three-point king Ray Allen couldn't do it either!

"Hey man, you made 10 shots tonight, are you going to make more next game? Are you sure you're kidding?"

A reporter asked, his tone full of disbelief and even a hint of mockery.

"Is 10 three-pointers a lot? I only did it in one quarter, and next game I might have four quarters."

Jiang Chen shrugged and said.

"..."

The reporters all gasped.

Aren't 10 three-pointers too many?

Damn, no player has ever made 10 three-pointers in a single game in the NBA Finals!

Jiang Chen is the first one!!

They wanted to refute, but they found that what Jiang Chen said was all true and reasonable, so they didn't know how to refute.

Kobe next to him also showed a surprised expression.

This Chinese rookie is really arrogant and unruly!

He is even more arrogant than when he was young.

"Jiang, you made 10 of 13 three-pointers tonight. Your hit rate is really too high. You should know that the current sharpshooter Ray Allen also made 7 three-pointers tonight. How did you do it?"

Reporters began to wonder how Jiang Chen exploded. There must have been an opportunity, a change in mentality, the release of pressure, or a desire to prove himself.

"It was simple, I just stood there and took those three-point shots and they went in."

Jiang Chen said with a smile, and also spread his hands to show his helplessness.

???

The reporters stood there again, bewildered.

This... is a bit outrageous.

Simple?

Is there any difference in our understanding of simplicity?

Is the three-point midfield logo simple?

Is it easy to shoot a three-pointer against defense?

Is it easy to make 5 consecutive three-pointers?

Why can we understand every word Jiang Chen said, but when he puts it into a sentence, people can't understand it?

There was some silence.

The reporters were thrown off balance by Jiang Chen's words and the interview was at a standstill.

After a while, someone finally continued to ask questions.

"Jiang, you won the game tonight with a buzzer-beater free throw. May I ask why you didn't shoot a three-pointer in your last attack, but broke through to the restricted area. Did you want to send the game into overtime?"

A reporter asked, very curious.

"Everything was under my control. I never thought about playing overtime and breaking into the penalty area. I was just going for the 2+1."

Jiang Chen said, his tone still confident.

He really thought so at that time and did so.

???

The reporters looked at each other, showing confused expressions for the umpteenth time.

What the hell.

Can we still have a good interview?

Don't say Jiang Chen is a water cooler player. Even if the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan came, would he dare to say so?

In an offense that decided the championship, he had the confidence to break into the restricted area, draw a foul, and score 2+1 to end the game?

What kind of confidence does he have to do this?

This is bullshit.

Moreover, Jiang Chen was facing Kevin Garnett, the league's best defensive player, which was too difficult.

coincide!

The last attack must have been a coincidence.

It just happened, Jiang Chen would say that.

After all, what happened is an established fact, Jiang Chen can say whatever he wants, and it is impossible to infer whether it is correct or not.

Kobe's eyes also showed shock. He was confident that his offense was the best in history and that he could turn the tide, let alone shoot the buzzer-beater. However, it was difficult for him to control the buzzer-beater to such a detailed level.

Therefore, he did not believe Jiang Chen's words.

But after all, this is Jiang Chen's first interview this entire season, so let him say whatever he wants!

The reporters shook their heads. Jiang Chen also knew that the last 2+1 attack he had controlled was too shocking, so he said, "You can go to the Celtics' interview room later and interview Garnett. Maybe his answer will satisfy you."

The reporters' eyes lit up after hearing this.

yes!

As a party involved, Garnett must have been very clear about the situation at that time!

Just ask Garnett and you will know whether Jiang Chen is just showing off.

"Jiang, because of your incredible performance, you completed the biggest finals reversal in history by 33 points, which made this series enter a tiebreaker. What are your expectations for the tiebreaker?"

A reporter asked.

"Without a doubt, the champion!"

"I will definitely help the team beat the Celtics and win the championship trophy this season."

Jiang Chen said calmly, his tone revealing strong confidence and even more domineering.

The reporters were all shocked.

Is this a water cooler player?

Is this the kind of momentum that a water cooler player would have?

But this Chinese rookie is clearly an undrafted player, a water cooler player!

It's really outrageous!
