Chapter 58: Praise for Jiang Chen, Self-Selected Treasure Box Skill Selection
The reporters were a little surprised.
What is the future of Chinese men's basketball?
Yao Ming's evaluation of Jiang Chen is really not low!
Does this mean that he already regards Jiang Chen as his successor?
But to be honest, Jiang Chen's performance in this game was indeed outstanding. His powerful scoring helped the Chinese team compete with the US team until the last moment.
Anyone who watched this game was impressed by Jiang Chen's performance and got excited.
"Jiang Chen, you scored an incredible 46 points tonight and set many records. How do you feel now?"
A reporter asked.
"It's very bad. No matter how good the data is, it's useless. We still lost the game."
Jiang Chen shook his head and said helplessly.
"Do you still have confidence in the Chinese team's chance of winning the Olympic gold medal?"
A reporter asked, with some sarcasm.
After all, in the pre-match interview, Jiang Chen said very confidently and arrogantly that the goal of this Olympics is the gold medal!
"Of course! I never questioned my confidence!"
Jiang Chen said lightly.
The reporters all shook their heads after hearing this.
He is still talking nonsense now. How can he be Yao Ming's successor?
It's good to have confidence, but you must first face reality.
The gap between us and the United States team has been fully revealed in this group match. If we want to win the gold medal, the United States team cannot avoid this hurdle.
Did Jiang Chen think that if he lost to the United States in this match, he would be able to win the next time they met?
Besides, it is questionable whether the Chinese team will have a chance to meet the US team again.
...
US team interview room.
"Kobe, your Lakers teammate Jiang Chen scored 46 points tonight. What do you think of his performance?"
A reporter asked.
"I'm very proud of him and he deserves all the credit for his performance."
Kobe couldn't help but smile.
"Do you think the Huaxia team has the strength to compete for the gold medal? In the pre-match interview, Jiang Chen was confident that they would win the gold medal."
The reporter asked.
"It's hard to say. I believe all the teams that come to the Olympics want to win a gold medal. Time will tell what will happen next."
"But I want to say that no matter whether it is Jiang Chen or Gasol, I will never show mercy when I meet them. I will use 200% of my energy to deal with them."
Kobe said seriously, his tone becoming sharp.
Since he chose to serve the country and participate in the Olympics, he was aiming for the gold medal.
Even when facing teammates from the Lakers, he will never show mercy.
"James, you played against Jiang Chen throughout the game today, but you obviously didn't limit him well. What do you think about this?"
The reporter asked.
"I have to admit that Jiang Chen is a very talented player. I was surprised by the difficult goals he scored in the game."
"When a player is at full strength, it's very difficult to contain him."
"Obviously Jiang Chen had an outburst tonight, which made it difficult for us to win this game."
James pondered for a moment and said, changing his attitude before the game.
Thinking of Jiang Chen's highlights in the game, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
"What do you think Jiang Chen's career prospects will be in the NBA?"
The reporter continued to ask.
"There is no doubt that his future is bright! We all know what happened in the last NBA Finals."
"Jiang Chen helped the Lakers achieve a great comeback, which is bound to leave a strong mark in the history of the NBA!"
"And he just signed a big contract, and his annual salary even exceeds mine, which makes me a little jealous."
James said half jokingly.
The reporters all laughed when they heard this.
The post-match interview of the US team ended in this relaxed and happy atmosphere...
On the other side, after finishing the post-match interview, the Chinese team took a bus back to the Olympic Village.
Jiang Chen had just returned to his room when the system voice rang.
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for completing the task. Rewards are now issued."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 2000 achievement points, 200 skill fusion fragments, and 1 treasure chest of your choice."
Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, finally waiting for the system.
"Use the treasure box of your choice!"
Jiang Chen then said, very curious about what rewards were in the self-selected treasure box.
"Ding Dong, the treasure chest has been used successfully. The host can choose any one of the three experience cards in the treasure chest."
The system said.
"Experience card?"
Jiang Chen rolled his eyes. It turned out that permanent skill cards were not that easy to obtain.
He put his consciousness into the treasure chest, and then his eyes lit up.
Although they are experience cards, these three experience cards are too abnormal!
[Akashi Seijuro's All-member Zone] Experience Card1 (valid for 5 minutes); [Ultra-wide Range Defense] Experience Card1 (valid for 5 minutes); [Akashi Seijuro Emperor Eye] Experience Card*1 (valid for 10 minutes).
"Which experience card should I choose?"
Jiang Chen was in a dilemma, as he felt that every skill card was very useful.
He thought of the group match against the United States.
The performance of the Huaxia team in the second half can be said to be very poor.
First, the physical confrontation could not keep up, resulting in many deformations of the movements.
Second, in the second half of the third quarter, all the players had problems with their physical strength, and by the fourth quarter they were completely exhausted.
Therefore, Jiang Chen first wanted to choose the experience card [Akashi Seijuro's All-member Zone], but the skill description of this experience card clearly stated that All-member Zone is not a real Zone, but it can allow teammates to exert more than 80% of their abilities.
All are around 90%, which is still a little short of the real Zone.
Even so, it was already very terrifying.
But Jiang Chen is a little worried that the physical talents of the Chinese team players are far behind those of the American team. After using [Akashi Seijuro's All-Player Zone], can they improve their physical strength to the level of competing with the American team?
If you choose the [Ultra-Wide Range Defense] skill, Jiang Chen's defense range will be greatly expanded, and he can establish a super-large spherical defense range centered on himself, defending five opponents by himself.
This skill combined with the [Tomoki Tsukawa's Strongest Wall] skill can definitely defend against many attacks from the US team's players.
Of course, this skill consumes a lot of physical strength, but it should be able to last for 5 minutes.
The last one is the [Akashi Seijuro Emperor Eye] experience card.
There is no doubt that it can allow Jiang Chen's personal strength to be brought to the limit, and can completely invalidate the opponent's offense and defense!
Hesitated for a moment.
Jiang Chen made up his mind and chose the [Akashi Zhengjulang Emperor Eye] experience card!
[Akashi Seijuro's own zone] The experience card is uncertain, and it is still unclear how powerful it will be after using it;
The [Ultra-Wide Range Defense] experience card has obvious flaws. It is only for defense and cannot improve offensive capabilities.
[Akashi Emperor Eye] can greatly enhance both offense and defense, and combined with other skills, it is fully capable of destroying everything!
"Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for making a successful choice! You have obtained a [Akashi Seijuro Emperor Eye] experience card."
"Ding Dong, it is detected that the Chinese team where the host is located has lost to the American team. The task is now issued!"
Jiang Chen looked very happy, he didn't expect another mission to come so soon!
"Mission: Lead the Chinese team to the quarterfinals with the second place in the group!"
"Reward: 2000 achievement points, skill fusion fragments*1000, [Sakurai Ryo's Speedy Attack] skill fusion card!"
Listening to the system's voice, Jiang Chen was ecstatic, with only one thought in his mind.
"We can't lose a single game in the next group stage!!!"
