Chapter 53: 50- 50! Amazing Chinese Men's Basketball Team
"Ding Dong! It is detected that James has shown you the eyes of death. Now the task is issued."
"Mission: Score more points than James in this game."
"Reward: 2000 achievement points, 200 skill fusion fragments, 1 treasure chest of your choice."
The system's voice suddenly sounded in Jiang Chen's mind.
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy. He just liked such simple and rough tasks.
If the task given by the system is to beat the US team, then he really doesn't have the confidence to do so.
After all, it's a group match, so it's not easy to use the trump card of [Kise Ryouta Imitation] skill experience card.
If we use the ultimate move at the beginning, it would be cool and maybe we can beat the US team, but it would be tragic later.
So it's better to be patient and save your trump card for the critical moment that decides life or death.
As for scoring more than James... Isn't it enough to have hands?
After all, the US team is full of talented players, and everyone has evenly distributed shooting rights, so it is difficult to get high scores.
Jiang Chen is full of confidence and has begun to look forward to the reward.
I wonder what surprising skills will be in the self-selected treasure box?
...
The United States team attacks.
After Kidd dribbled the ball across half court, he passed it to James.
As the captain of this year's US team and the oldest player, his greater role is in spiritual influence.
As for the performance on the court...it can be completely ignored.
It's not that Kidd is no longer good, but he is basically just slacking off.
Facing Jiang Chen's defense at the top of the arc, James chose to break through directly and took a domineering step. He wanted to force Jiang Chen to the penalty area for a layup, but was surprised to find that he couldn't do it.
Helplessly, he could only retreat and ask Howard to set a pick-and-roll.
After the defensive switch, James easily broke into the restricted area and completed a difficult layup against Yao Ming, causing Yao Ming to foul.
After landing, James proudly showed off his biceps to celebrate the 2+1.
Swish!
Make the free throw steadily.
10:9.
The United States team once again overtook by 1 point, and James had already scored 5 points, accounting for half of the team's points...
The Chinese team attacks.
After Jiang Chen ran across half court, he took the initiative to ask Liu Wei for the ball.
Now that James' eyes of death have been revealed, this game is bound to end badly and a response must be made.
After receiving the ball, James rushed over quickly, defending closely, exuding a terrifying aura from head to toe.
Jiang Chen was not afraid at all, and directly activated [Yayama Kotaro Thunder Dribble]. Both hands turned into three fingers, and the dribbling speed suddenly increased.
It's a pity that this skill does not have the ability to break through, otherwise it would be even more abnormal.
He dribbled the ball between his legs and suddenly stepped back to shoot a three-pointer.
The basketball drew a high arc.
Swish!
Hollow into the net.
The Chinese team took the lead again.
The audience cheered enthusiastically, their adrenaline rushing due to Jiang Chen's answer ball.
I'm afraid Jiang Chen is the only one in the entire Chinese team who can compete with James in scoring.
"Wow! Facing James' defense, Jiang Chen really dared to shoot! This is the courage that we Chinese people should have."
"No matter who is in front of him, even if there are thousands of troops, they can't resist my tough pull-up three-pointer!"
Mr. Zhang Weiping said excitedly.
This is exactly the game scene he has been looking forward to.
When the US team was engaged in a frenzy of attack, someone from the Chinese team had to respond. If there was no response, the Chinese team would be directly defeated.
The Huaxia team lacked such players before, but now... Jiang Chen showed his magical performance in the NBA Finals and fought back strongly!
beep!
Coach K stood up and called a timeout.
"James, I just emphasized that you should stop paddling."
Coach Old K said with some dissatisfaction.
???
James had no words to express his bitterness. He really didn't slack off and he really failed to defend this Chinese rookie.
"Guys, show your physical talents, take your defense against the Chinese team to a higher level, force the opponent to make mistakes, and then use your speed to quickly counterattack. Try not to engage in a positional battle with the Chinese team."
"For us, positional warfare will only waste our time."
Coach Lao K said loudly, expressing dissatisfaction with the team's opening performance.
The other players nodded, also somewhat shocked, as if they had not expected the Chinese team to be so...difficult.
In addition to the speech, Coach K also made adjustments to the lineup, replacing Howard and Kidd with the faster Bosh and Wade.
Pause back.
The US team's offensive round.
After James dribbled across half court, he passed the ball to Wade.
The Flash took a step forward, easily broke through Liu Wei's defense, rushed into the penalty area, jumped high, and threw himself in the air.
Dayao wanted to make up for the defense, but he was powerless.
Wade broke through the first line of defense so easily and so quickly.
Rumble.
Wade held the ball with both hands and smashed it into the basket, completing a powerful two-handed slam dunk.
Absolute crushing talent.
The Chinese team was not to be outdone. Yi Jianlian stood one step inside the three-point line at the top of the arc and hit a long-distance jump shot.
The two sides fought back and forth, neither giving in.
Although the US team plays at a fast pace, their style of play is also fierce and aggressive.
However, the Chinese team did not lose their composure, but fought steadily, trying to ensure that every positional battle would yield results.
Especially with the support of Jiang Chen's three-point shooting, the Chinese team did not fall too far behind.
The first quarter is over.
27:30.
The Chinese team was only 3 points behind.
"It's a 50-50 match. In the first quarter, the Chinese team and the American Dream Team were evenly matched."
"This is really surprising. I hope the Huaxia team will keep up the good work and give us wonderful performances next time."
Yang Jian said excitedly, full of anticipation.
"This is really not easy. Regardless of the outcome of the game, this one quarter alone will be enough for all Chinese fans to savor and become an unforgettable memory for the rest of their lives!"
Mr. Zhang Weiping said.
When no one was optimistic about the Chinese team, and even the Chinese men's basketball team itself was not optimistic about itself, they still put in an amazing performance and tenaciously resisted the fierce attack of the US team.
At least in this quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team made the national audience extremely excited and proud!
The fans at the scene were cheering for the Chinese team crazily.
Although many of them are fans of stars such as Kobe and James, now they all choose to support the Chinese men's basketball team.
After a short inter-sect break.
The game entered a turbulent second quarter!!
