Chapter 28 Are You Playing Basketball?
With just one three-pointer, the situation on the court changed.
The morale of the Lakers players was boosted, and after seeing Jiang Chen use his magical basketball technique of dribbling with three fingers, they began to place their hopes on Jiang Chen.
The Celtics players' faces became solemn, and an ominous premonition surged in their hearts.
If this undrafted Chinese player performs like he did in the last four minutes of the previous game, the game will be very difficult.
Pierce looked at Rivers on the sidelines with questioning eyes.
Rivers hesitated, shook his head, and gave up the double-team on Jiang Chen.
The ability to dribble with three fingers is too shocking.
He was more inclined to believe that Jiang Chen's performance just now was a coincidence.
The defensive focus in this game should still be on Kobe.
The team can still bear the cost of Jiang Chen's outbreak, but once Kobe explodes, it will be a disaster that the team cannot afford.
The Celtics attack.
After Rondo dribbled across half court, he found that his teammates were all being watched and he had no chance to execute any tactics.
So he passed the ball to Pierce.
As the team's ace, Pierce's individual singles ability is also among the best in the league.
However, his shooting touch was not very good when facing Jiang Chen this year. He only made 2 of 6 shots and scored 4 points, which was the worst performance among the Big Three.
He changed directions continuously, shook off Jiang Chen's center of gravity, and then made a side-step jump shot.
Jiang Chen rushed forward to defend and activated the skill [Tomoki Tsukawa's Strongest Wall] at the same time.
Although Pierce's shooting was not blocked, it still had a great impact on his shooting percentage.
Bang.
The basketball bounced out of the basket again.
Pierce shook his head, very depressed.
I'm really possessed today.
In such a crucial game, why was his touch so cold? His performance on the offensive end was so poor.
He just looked for reasons in himself and completely ignored Jiang Chen's defense.
Because every time Jiang Chen plays singles, he can easily get a chance to shoot, which is enough to show that Jiang Chen's defense is very bad...
The Lakers fought back.
After Jiang Chen received the basketball, he activated the [Hayama Kotaro Thunderous Dribble] skill again.
The three-finger dribble made a subtle thunderous sound, which made Jiang Chen feel like he was assisted by God. After dribbling across half court quickly, he stopped abruptly two meters away from the three-point line and shot with his head raised.
At this critical moment of chasing points, Jiang Chen no longer held back and maximized the advantage of the skill [Midorima Shintarō Super High Arc Three Pointer].
The basketball drew a very high arc.
Swish!
Hollow into the net.
The gap narrowed to 4 points.
"Here we go again! Is it never going to end? Jiang Chen hits another long-range three-pointer."
"Now I can be very sure that this is not a lucky shot, but his three-point range is half court."
"As long as he passes the midfield line, he can shoot a three-pointer from anywhere!"
Barkley said repeatedly, very excited.
What kind of perverted three-point shooting technique is this?
If anyone dares to say that Jiang Chen's shot was a lucky one again, he will throw a basketball at that person and replace his head!
Reggie Miller stood there in shock, as if his soul had been struck by lightning.
"I was skeptical at first, but now Jiang Chen has crushed my doubts with one incredible three-pointer after another."
"It's beyond my imagination that there are players in this world who can extend their three-point shooting range to midfield."
"I must apologize for my stupid remarks before. Jiang Chen's amazing performance in the last game was not due to luck at all, but to his strength!"
"Now I begin to believe that what Jiang Chen said in the interview was not bragging. He has every chance to make 10 or even more three-pointers in this game."
Reggie Miller said excitedly, his attitude completely changed, and he became a fanatic who praised Jiang Chen.
It can be said that Jiang Chen's magical three-point performance completely conquered him.
Barkley glanced at him and thought, isn't this nonsense?
Before the half was over, Jiang Chen had already made 7 three-pointers.
Isn't it easy to make 10 three-pointers in the whole game?
VIP hall.
"Seven three-pointers. The performance of this Chinese undrafted player is really amazing!"
"Especially his three-point shooting ability, which is simply superb. It even gives me the feeling that he is better than Ray Allen."
Pat Riley said excitedly, his eyes shining.
He has already begun to imagine the beautiful scene after the Heat signs Jiang Chen.
This three-point skill will definitely make the entire league fearful.
"Based on his current performance on the court, Jiang Chen is indeed better than Ray Allen."
"His three-finger dribbling really surprised me, it's so unique."
Wade shook his head and became very interested in Jiang Chen.
"Let's see what kind of crazy performance this undrafted Chinese player can put on in this Game 7!"
"Perhaps the person who can decide the outcome of this game is not the superstars like Kobe and Pierce, but the water dispenser manager."
Riley said, his eyes fixed on Jiang Chen through the glass.
Wade was also stunned.
If what Riley said was true, then this finals was really dramatic, and the Celtics lost unfairly...
On the stadium.
Pierce was completely numb.
He really wanted to ask this Chinese undrafted player.
Are you playing basketball?
Why are the basketball skills different from those of normal players?
Can a normal person dribble a ball with three fingers?
Would a normal person frequently shoot long three-pointers?
Isn't this a disease?
The key point is that this Chinese undrafted player did things that normal people wouldn't do, and he did it very well.
This is extremely outrageous.
It even made Pierce suspect that there was a sense of magic.
At the same time, a terrible thought came to his mind again. Could his low shooting percentage really be related to Jiang Chen's defense?
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Pierce shook his head and denied the idea.
After all, he didn't feel any pressure or threat from Jiang Chen's defense...
"Double-team Jiang Chen!"
Rivers said through gritted teeth.
Why did this undrafted Chinese draft pick master the outrageous three-finger dribbling technique so skillfully?
Now this Chinese undrafted player has once again demonstrated his strong dribbling ability. Simply defending the passing route and preventing him from receiving the ball is no longer effective.
We can only double-team!
But what about Kobe?
Rivers felt a little headache, as this problem seemed to have no solution.
If you can't double-team two players at the same time, you can only double-team the player who performs better.
Kobe's offense is strong enough, but I didn't expect this undrafted Chinese player to have even stronger offensive abilities. He became the highest-scoring player in the game just by shooting three-pointers...
Damn it, where on earth did this Chinese undrafted player come from?
What a Celtics team!!
