Chapter 39 Three People in One Drama, All for Jiang Chen
"No! At most I blame my bad luck, but I have never doubted the strength of the team, let alone lost confidence."
"As for how the management operates, I don't know!"
"All I know is that this defeat will not knock us down, it will only make us stronger."
"Next season, we will still be a contender for the championship!"
Rivers said firmly, his voice low and powerful.
"Lei, what do you think of Jiang Chen's 13 three-pointers in a single game? Do you still think that Jiang Chen's three-point shooting ability is due to the blessing of the goddess of luck?"
A reporter asked.
"It's hard to believe. His performance was beyond my imagination, especially those three-pointers with the midfield logo. They directly refreshed my worldview."
"I now take back what I said in the pre-match interview. Jiang Chen's performance is entirely due to his strength!"
"He also had great defensive skills and completely limited me."
"I have nothing to say about being beaten by him, but I will remember the pain of this defeat and we will come back next season!"
Ray Allen said gloomily.
No resentment.
Also recognized Jiang Chen's strength.
Because that's the truth!
Jiang Chen killed the Celtics with an incredible three-pointer.
Just like Rivers said, the team was just unlucky to encounter this undrafted player's sudden explosion...
"Do you think Jiang Chen has a chance to become the best three-point shooter in the NBA in the future?"
A reporter asked.
"He is already the best three-point shooter."
"Is there any player in this league who can consistently make three-pointers easily from the midfield logo?"
Ray Allen said in a deep voice, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
The reporters all looked sideways in surprise.
It seems that Ray Allen was really convinced by Jiang Chen's three-pointer...
Afterwards, the reporters asked a few more questions and ended the interview.
...
The main entrance of the North Shore Garden Arena.
Riley and Wade were standing there, waiting for Jiang Chen to appear.
At this time, a fat man in a suit also walked to the door and looked surprised when he saw Riley.
"Morey!"
"Riley?"
"Are you here to wait for Jiang Chen as well?"
The two of them said this almost in unison, then took a few steps back and looked at each other warily.
A competitor has emerged!
Riley muttered to himself and frowned.
He didn't expect the Rockets would also join the competition to sign Jiang Chen.
This is a bit tricky.
After all, the Rockets have Yao Ming, which is very attractive to Jiang Chen.
"Senior Riley, don't waste your time. Jiang Chen will definitely sign a contract with us!"
"It is a great fortune for every Chinese player to be able to play with Yao Ming in the NBA."
Morey said with a smile, his tone full of pride and confidence.
Before coming to Boston, he had already spoken to Yao Ming on the phone.
Yao Ming also made it clear that he hopes Jiang Chen will join the team and will help the team persuade Jiang Chen.
"Humph! It's too early to say that now!"
Riley said stubbornly.
He won't give up until he gets a clear result.
"Everyone, you are in such a good mood! Are you here to enjoy the breeze so late at night?"
A gloomy voice sounded from not far away, and Lakers general manager Pukucek walked over quickly with a very ugly look on his face.
What the hell.
I thought I was hardworking enough, but I didn't expect Riley and Morey to be even more hardworking and they were waiting at the door early.
It was obvious that these two people were coming for Jiang Chen.
A sense of crisis instantly swept through my body.
Kupchak was glad that he made this decision and went to the entrance of the stadium to wait for Jiang Chen.
Otherwise, someone else would have gotten there first.
At the same time, he was also filled with emotion.
At that time, Jiang Chen was an undrafted player and no one was interested in him. No team in the league was willing to give Jiang Chen a contract.
The Lakers lacked such a role, so they gave him a minimum salary contract.
Now that Jiang Chen has proven his worth, he has immediately become the target of many teams.
It's really like that.
"Kupchak, are you here to wait for Jiang Chen too?"
"You are the best horse breeder of this talented person. Are you still worried that he will sign with another team without telling you?"
Morey said sarcastically.
"Humph! Since you already know that I'm Jiang Chen's mentor, why are you still here?"
"Jiang Chen will definitely give priority to renewing his contract with our Lakers team."
Kupchak said that he appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually very nervous on the inside.
"It's just a priority consideration, it's not certain whether it will be signed or not!"
Morey said, looking confident.
Kupchak ignored Morey and started chatting with Riley instead.
The two had worked together on the Lakers before. When Kupchak was still a player, Riley coached the Lakers and led the Lakers to four championship rings in nine years.
Among the three big guys present, Riley has the most brilliant resume and the highest seniority!
Wade was standing nearby, looking at the scene in astonishment, unable to describe his shock.
The general managers or presidents of three teams are waiting for an undrafted player at the entrance of the arena?
This is simply outrageous.
It has to be said that this undrafted Chinese player completely conquered the league with his two consecutive 10+ three-point performances in the finals.
I don't know if I can enjoy such treatment when I become a free agent...
Wade muttered to himself, feeling a little sour.
Waited for nearly half an hour.
The Lakers players appeared at the entrance of the stadium.
Everyone was still cheering loudly and didn't notice the figures of several big guys at the door.
It was not until they walked out of the stadium that everyone saw him and they all looked confused.
What is happening?
In the middle of the night, the management leaders of the three teams did not sleep and ran to the entrance of the stadium... to chat?
Obviously unlikely.
Then everyone seemed to realize something and turned their eyes to Jiang Chen with shock in their eyes.
Is this the movement caused by Jiang Chen?
In order to sign Jiang Chen, three big guys were waiting in front of the stadium?
Is this the kind of attention and treatment an undrafted draft pick can get?
After being surprised, everyone began to sigh.
It turned out that Jiang Chen was no longer the water dispenser manager who served them tea and water.
In just two games, he completed the transformation of his value.
He will sign a big contract this summer and become a main player or even a core player of a team.
The future career is even brighter!
Farmar, Luke Walton and other substitute players had eyes full of envy and excitement, and they were all happy for Jiang Chen.
Because the strong strength shown by this Chinese undrafted player deserves to be treated like this!
Life's encounters are wonderful.
Maybe many years in the future.
When Jiang Chen becomes successful, they can proudly brag to the people around them.
When Jiang Chen was still a rookie, he was just a substitute at the end of the team. He practiced with them every day and served them tea and water!
