Chapter 26 Reggie's Attitude Changes! The Lakers Are in Trouble

Following a shout from Rivers.

The Celtics decisively changed their defensive tactics.

Whenever Kobe caught the ball, they would double-team him and force him to pass the ball.

The basketball was passed to Fisher.

Old Fish stood at a 45-degree angle on the right side, and decisively shot a three-pointer before Rondo could defend.

BANG!

Blacksmith.

Garnett grabbed the rebound.

Rondo received the pass and dribbled quickly down the court, then passed the ball to Ray Allen who was following up.

After receiving the ball, Ray Allen took a step back to the three-point line and made a decisive three-point shot.

Swish!

Hit!

This was Ray Allen's third three-pointer in this game.

"Beautiful! Ray Allen showed us the confidence of the best three-point shooter in the league. He received the ball inside the three-point line, but he didn't shoot from a long distance. Instead, he took a step back and chose a more difficult three-pointer!"

Reggie Miller said excitedly.

Barkley glanced at him and wondered if Jiang Chen's two consecutive three-pointers with the mid-line logo weren't a sign of confidence?

But Jiang Chen hasn't caught the ball and shot for a long time.

When will there be another exciting performance?

Barkley looked at the court, feeling inexplicably expectant.

Because of Jiang Chen, he had the adrenaline rush of watching a three-pointer for the first time.

On the stadium.

The Lakers attack.

Bryant was once again hit hard by the Celtics' heavy defense.

Gasol was suppressed by Perkins and Garnett in the penalty area and had no chance to perform at all.

Fisher has a cold hand, currently 0 of 3 shots and 0 points.

After Jiang Chen's explosive performance at the beginning, he didn't have any outstanding performance on the offensive end for a period of time afterwards, and only restricted Pierce's performance on the defensive end.

The Lakers' offense stagnated.

Several consecutive rounds ended with missed shots and mistakes.

The Celtics seized the opportunity, and Garnett was unstoppable in the interior, scoring consecutively.

The gap was narrowed to 5 points in one fell swoop.

beep!

Phil stood up and called a timeout and rearranged the tactics.

Pause back.

Odom throws the ball in from the sideline.

Kobe ran to the top of the arc to receive the basketball and was immediately double-teamed.

Gasol did not fight in the penalty area, but went to the high post to meet Kobe. After receiving the basketball, he shook his wrist and passed it to Jiang Chen who was running past him.

After more than 7 minutes, Jiang Chen finally touched the basketball again.

Without hesitation, he looked up at the basket, activated the skill [Midorima Shintarō Super High Arc Three-Point Shot], and shot a three-pointer directly.

Pierce was blocked by Gasol and his defense was a beat slower. He could only watch the basketball slip from Jiang Chen's fingertips.

The basketball drew a high arc.

Swish!

Hollow into the net.

The fifth three-pointer.

I may be late, but I will never be absent!

Jiang Chen raised his hands high in celebration, his eyes full of confidence.

"Another goal! Jiang Chen's three-point shot is ridiculously accurate!"

"Man, Jiang Chen has already made 5 three-pointers before the first quarter is even over. What do you think about that?"

Barkley said with some gloating.

He had a deep memory of what Reggie Miller said before the game.

"Being able to throw in 5 three-pointers in a single quarter in Game 7, we have to say that this Chinese undrafted player has a very strong mental quality, and we must admit that his three-point shooting ability is indeed very strong!"

"I was still doubting Jiang Chen's ability, but now I am conquered by his performance."

Reggie Miller changed his attitude, horror appeared in his eyes, and a terrifying idea emerged in his mind.

This Chinese undrafted player wouldn't really make 10 three-pointers in Game 7, would he?

"But Jiang Chen's three-point shots were not reasonable several times!"

Barkley joked, mocking Reggie with what Reggie had just said.

"Being able to make unreasonable shots is what makes Jiang Chen so great!"

Reggie Miller said, and started to blow Jiang Chen hard.

Barkley was choked and didn't know what to say for a moment.

This old fellow is really too shameless!

You just spared no effort to ridicule and criticize Jiang Chen, but now you start praising him?

The changes in attitude are so fast.

On the sidelines, Rivers covered his head, unable to bear to watch any longer.

Is he entering again?

He didn't touch the basketball for nearly 7 minutes, but as soon as he got the ball, he raised his hand and shot it, and it went in?

What kind of hot feeling is this?

After much difficulty, they narrowed the gap to 5 points, but now Jiang Chen made a three-pointer and the gap was widened to 8 points.

This is very demoralizing.

One can only hope that Ray Allen can respond with some morale-boosting three-pointers.

The Celtics attack.

Rondo dribbled across half court and passed the ball to Ray Allen, who missed the three-pointer.

Seeing this, Rivers shook his head helplessly again.

This...Ray Allen's performance in three-point shooting was completely suppressed by Jiang Chen!

The Lakers counterattacked, Kobe dribbled across half court, and seeing Pierce hesitant in defense, he decisively chose personal offense and made consecutive change of direction fadeaway jump shots.

Swish!

Hit.

In the last two minutes, the two sides entered a stalemate.

The first quarter is over.

38:28!

The Lakers lead by 10 points.

In the second quarter, both teams used substitute lineups.

Lakers players such as Farmar and Walton performed poorly and missed shots consecutively.

In such a crucial game as the tiebreaker, they seemed a little nervous.

The Celtics continued to catch up with the points thanks to the performance of strong substitutes James Worthy and PJ Brown.

In less than two minutes, the gap was narrowed to 4 points.

Helplessly, Phil Jackson had to replace the main lineup.

Seeing this, Rivers also gradually replaced the starting lineup.

The two sides launched a new round of fierce fighting.

The audience was both excited and nervous.

The atmosphere in the entire stadium was suffocating, and even breathing had to be done cautiously.

The Lakers' decline did not stop because of the substitutions.

Just like the sudden power outage in the previous game, the team fell into an offensive drought.

The Celtics seized this opportunity and launched an 18:4 offensive in 6 minutes, not only overtaking the score but also gaining a 10-point lead.

It seemed that the Lakers had no solution.

The balance of victory seemed to have tilted towards the Celtics.

The audience burst into wild cheers one after another.

What is this magical water cooler player?

What is the superstar Kobe?

It was all bullshit against the Celtics' suffocating defense.

The championship finally belongs to the Celtics!

"Sure enough, there is still a huge gap in strength between the two sides!"

"In fact, the Celtics could have ended the series in Game 6, but because of Jiang Chen's explosion, the series was dragged into Game 7."

"Although Jiang Chen's performance in this game was still amazing, he could no longer influence the overall situation."

Reggie Miller said with some regret.

This situation is basically consistent with the pre-match speculation, which can be regarded as saving some face.

After all, it's too embarrassing to evaluate Jiang Chen's three-point shooting ability...
