Chapter 44: Defeat Jiang Chen to Become Famous? Mills' Ambition

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

This new teammate is really confident...unusual!

But then everyone understood.

Jiang Chen does have the capital to say this.

After all, he scored an incredible 35 points in a single quarter in the NBA Finals, and led the Lakers to a 33-point deficit and a reversal of the Celtics.

A breakout in a game can indeed give players unprecedented confidence.

It is obvious that Jiang Chen is now full of vigor and youthful vigor.

"Okay, then I'll look forward to your performance in the second half!"

Dayao said with bright eyes, full of anticipation.

Although he has never played against Jiang Chen directly, Yao Ming has played against the Celtics and knows how strong the Celtics are.

It is simply unimaginable that Jiang Chen was able to set a series of magical three-point records under the Celtics' iron-blooded defense.

So Yao Ming is very optimistic about Jiang Chen's performance in the Olympics.

"Guys, our Chinese men's basketball team is here, let's sprint towards the Olympics!"

Jonas said, motivating the players with infectious emotion.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The players all roared, sweeping away their previous frustration.

The halftime break passed quickly.

The second half of the game begins.

The Huaxia team adjusted its starting lineup.

Center: Dazhi;

Power forward: Yi Jianlian;

Small forward: Jiang Chen;

Shooting guard: Sun Yue;

Point guard: Liu Wei.

When Jiang Chen walked onto the court, the entire arena erupted in huge cheers, louder than any cheer in the first half of the game.

Because it was a warm-up match, there were not many spectators, but there were still nearly 10,000 people.

"What the hell! What kind of magic did the Huaxia team perform? How did they make Jiang Sanfen appear?"

"Isn't Jiang Chen in the United States? How come he suddenly appears here? It's really unexpected."

"Jiang Chen is back, the Chinese men's basketball team has assembled, and they are ready to beat the Australian team to a pulp."

"But now the Chinese team is 22 points behind. Can they catch up?"

"It may be difficult for others, but for Jiang Chen... it shouldn't be a problem."

"Who is this Jiang Chen? Why is he so popular?"

"Haha! I can tell you're a fake fan. You don't even know who Jiang Chen is. How dare you come to watch a basketball game?"

"....."

The fans at the scene were talking excitedly because Jiang Chen's appearance showed great enthusiasm for watching the game.

"Jiang Chen is here? He must have just returned from the United States!"

"It's really hard for him. He just came back and participated in the warm-up match. He is really busy."

The on-site commentator Su Qun said.

"Finally I can see Jiang Chen in the national team. I am very much looking forward to his performance!"

"I hope he can carry the Chinese men's basketball team forward when Yao Ming is unable to play."

Another commentator, Yu Jia, said this with a tone of surprise and anticipation.

Australia bench.

"What is the origin of this Chinese player wearing the No. 12 jersey? Why is he enjoying such huge cheers?"

A player asked curiously, not knowing Jiang Chen's deeds.

"Jiang Chen! The most popular player in the NBA recently. Not only did he become a legend in the game between the Lakers and the Celtics, he also broke many records related to three-pointers in the NBA Finals!"

"Just a few days ago, he signed a three-year, $50 million contract with the Lakers."

"From an undrafted player that no one cared about, he became a basketball genius known to everyone."

Bogut said, with a gloomy look in his eyes, which was both disdainful and jealous.

Even if he entered the NBA as the No. 1 pick, his annual salary is only a few million US dollars, which is completely incomparable to Jiang Chen's contract.

"This Chinese player is a model of inspirational comeback success in the NBA!"

"He was just an undrafted player, but he seized the opportunity and became famous. Now he has established a firm foothold in the NBA."

Mills said, his eyes full of desire and fighting spirit.

As this year's second-round pick, he also hopes to gain a foothold in the NBA!

Now is a great opportunity!

Defeating Jiang Chen, who is currently in the limelight in the NBA, will definitely attract the attention of his team, the Portland Trail Blazers.

Then maybe in the new season he will be able to gain the trust of the coach, have stable playing time, and complete the counterattack of the second-round pick.

In this game, he wants to make Jiang Chen a stepping stone for him to gain a firm foothold in the NBA!!

"Huh! Do these Chinese audiences think that Jiang Chen can turn the tide of this game?"

"How naive!"

"Let me see if this Chinese undrafted player is worthy of his title?"

Bogut said, his tone was very serious, and he did not dare to underestimate Jiang Chen.

But he also didn't believe that Jiang Chen could turn the tide on his own.

After all, basketball is a team sport for five people, not a solo dance for one person!

beep!

The referee blew the whistle.

The starting players of both teams came on the court.

The Australian team took the lead in attacking.

After Mills dribbled across half court, he used the roll call tactic, and after a pick-and-roll with his teammates, he faced Jiang Chen's defense.

There seemed to be flames burning in his eyes, and his whole body was boiling with blood.

At this moment, there was only one thought in my mind.

Defeat Jiang Chen!!

Jiang Chen was a little confused. It seemed that he and Mills had no previous experience.

Why does it feel like Mills is seeing me as if I were his enemy? He is extremely jealous of me.

"Ding Dong, sensing Mills' strong hostility, now issuing a mission!"

"Mission: Beat Australia and make 5 three-pointers while Mills is defending."

"Reward: 2000 achievement points, skill fusion fragments*100."

The voice of the system suddenly sounded in Jiang Chen's mind.

Jiang Chen was overjoyed, another mission came!

If you complete this task, your achievement points will accumulate to 10,000 points, and you can participate in a lottery.

Mills is a really nice guy. He comes in to offer warmth and has a bright future.

Jiang Chen thought to himself and decided to teach this second-round pick a lesson.

Is a second-round pick a big deal?

A second-round pick dares to bully an undrafted player like me?

Delusion!

Mills dribbled and changed direction continuously, and suddenly broke through from the right.

Jiang Chen activated the skill [Tomoki Tsukawa's Strongest Wall] and stuck closely to Mills, not giving him a chance to get rid of him.

Seeing this, Mills stopped suddenly, stepped back, and took a direct mid-range jump shot.

Bang.

The basketball bounced out of the basket.

Dazhi grabbed the rebound and passed it to Liu Wei.

Liu Wei dribbled the ball one step and threw it to Jiang Chen who was running across half court.

Jiang Chen didn't waste any more time dribbling the ball. He stopped two meters away from the three-point line and made a shooting gesture.

The entire audience held their breath nervously, staring at the court intently, afraid of missing any details.

Everyone thought of the same terrifying yet exciting scene in their minds.

Jonas stood up from the bench, mouth open.

Dayao clenched his fists, looking forward to seeing the scene he wanted to see.

On the stadium.

Mills and Ingles have already rushed towards Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was not afraid at all, he activated the skill [Midorima Shintarō Super High Arc Three-Pointer] and shot the basketball out.

The moment the basketball left his fingers, Mills' hand also covered Jiang Chen's face.

Unfortunately, it's a little off.

The basketball drew a terrifying arc and fell into the basket like a missile.

Fight, fight!

In an instant, the entire stadium became boiling and started cheering wildly.

"It appears! Jiang Chen's super long-range three-pointer! It really lives up to its reputation!"

Yu Jia said excitedly, roaring in his heart, this three-point shot is so f*****g amazing.

"Wow! Watching Jiang Chen shoot a long three-pointer live is much more shocking than watching it on TV."

"This terrifying range is unbelievable."

Su Qun said that he couldn't believe it and felt it was a dream.

Jonas on the sidelines cheered excitedly.

Dayao even threw away his crutches, stood up and kept applauding Jiang Chen.

"The defense was very good, but it was useless."

Jiang Chen glanced at Mills and turned back to defend.

Mills's face became even gloomier, but there was a hint of shock in his eyes.

How many NBA players can make this ultra-long-distance three-pointer that is as easy as walking in the garden?

"Don't let the Chinese team play a defensive counterattack! Speed up your return to defense!"

"Also, keep a close eye on this Chinese player, No. 12. Don't let him shoot three-pointers easily."

The Australian coach frowned slightly and shouted towards the court.

The calmness and composure of the first half completely disappeared.

A three-pointer cannot change the situation on the court, after all, the team is still leading by 19 points.

But the three-point shooting ability shown by this No. 12 player must be taken seriously!
