Chapter 104: The Ultimate Fadeaway Three- Pointer Beats Kobe! The Nba Opening Game Begins
Kobe shook his head and his expression became serious.
The Chinese player standing in front of him was able to suppress him solely by relying on his physical talent.
This bullfight is not easy.
Although his physical talent cannot be said to be the strongest in history, it is also among the top in history.
But in front of Jiang Chen...there is absolutely no comparison.
Seeing Jiang Chen's performance, Kobe finally understood what "physical talent" is!
The bullfight continues.
Kobe attacks.
This time, he used more fake moves and breakthrough techniques, and only shot after completely shaking off Jiang Chen's defense and creating enough shooting space.
Swish.
Hollow into the net.
It was Jiang Chen's turn to attack. Lei Ming dribbled the ball with four fingers open, and with two quick changes of direction, he broke through Kobe's defense, and then used [Aomine Daiki's irregular shot].
Lie flat and lean back!
Even more fade-away than Kobe's fade-away.
The basketball drew a strange arc.
Swish.
Hollow into the net.
"What a great shot! I haven't been so excited at a bullfight in a long time!"
Kobe couldn't help but admire, his desire to win became stronger and stronger, and he felt a sense of mutual respect for Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen attacks.
Another three-pointer was hit from the outside.
The two of them went back and forth, neither giving in.
In the end, Jiang Chen was better and won the first game with a score of 11:9.
Rest for a few minutes.
The second round of bullfighting begins.
Jiang Chen took the lead in attacking.
Another three-pointer was made.
Kobe attacks.
He used a series of fake moves to trick Jiang Chen into jumping up, and then created a time difference to get a chance to shoot.
Easy shot.
Jiang Chen also grinned. It was really hard to defend!
It has been proven at the Olympics that Tomoki Tsukawa's strongest wall of defense skills is difficult to restrict athletes of Kobe's level.
Now with Kagami Taiga's jumping and air-staying abilities, it's still difficult to limit Kobe.
The block in the first round of the Bull Fighting was entirely due to Kobe's carelessness.
Later, Kobe soon discovered Jiang Chen's shortcomings, and he was unable to properly use his jumping and air-staying abilities to complete defense.
Since we can't defend, we can only attack!
Jiang Chen dribbled the ball and stepped back, then shot another three-pointer.
Although he can't defend Kobe, Kobe can't defend him either.
11:8.
Jiang Chen finally took advantage with a three-pointer and scored another goal, bringing the score to 2:0.
Coming to the match point.
Kobe's more frenzied offense also increased the intensity of the confrontation again.
9:11.
Kobe scored a goal, keeping the suspense of this bullfight.
Game 4.
Jiang Chen attacked first and hit two three-pointers in two consecutive offensive rounds.
After Kobe missed a shot, he made two consecutive mid-range jump shots.
But Jiang Chen still maintains a 2-point advantage.
Another three-pointer was made, and the match came to a penalty kick.
In order to catch up, Kobe also forced a three-pointer.
Bang! The iron is struck.
Jiang Chen attacks.
After scoring this goal, he will win the bullfight.
So, he used his final killer move!
After a series of changes of direction, he stepped back to the three-point line, jumped high, and prepared to shoot a three-pointer.
Kobe seemed to have anticipated this and jumped up one step later than Jiang Chen, creating a time difference that was just enough to match Jiang Chen's airborne pause.
It's about to be sealed.
But the basketball in front of him suddenly disappeared.
Kobe was completely stunned.
When I looked again, I found that the basketball did not disappear, but was moving backwards.
Jiang Chen leaned back.
Yes, when he used the skill [Midorima Shintarō Super High Arc Three Pointer], he also activated the skill [Shibuchi Reio Sora] at the same time.
Completed the ultimate trick of a fadeaway three-pointer.
Under Kobe's astonished gaze, Jiang Chen gently flicked the basketball away.
The basketball drew a high arc.
Swish!
Hollow into the net.
12:4.
Four three-pointers were made, leading to a full 11 points.
Jiang Chen won the bullfight.
Kobe fell to the ground, looking a little listless, as if he had suffered a huge mental blow.
"Dude, were you just shooting a fadeaway three? Is that your normal weapon?"
After a long while, Kobe said in disbelief.
He had used fadeaway three-pointers in games before, but those were all extreme shots he was forced to take.
After all, this technical move is really too difficult!
But look at Jiang Chen's fadeaway three-pointer just now. He was so confident and so calm.
"Yes! This is a technical move that I have improved on my three-point shooting skills. Now I can shoot a fadeaway three-pointer from any position within the midline."
Jiang Chen said, also very excited.
The three-point shot with super strong air retention + light speed shot + green space three-pointer + air skill is really abnormal!
???
Kobe was completely shocked.
A fadeaway three-point shot from anywhere within the midfield?
This technical move is really awesome.
This Chinese player has really developed his three-point shooting ability to the extreme!
I'm afraid Jiang Chen is the only one in the world who can make such a perverted three-point shot.
"I lost! But our competition is not over yet. I will challenge you at any time."
Kobe shook his head, somewhat helplessly.
Compared to the unhappiness and unwillingness caused by losing, the ability displayed by Jiang Chen in this bullfight gave him a greater shock.
This completely refreshed his understanding of basketball.
After completing this bullfight, Kobe had only one feeling.
It turns out that basketball can be played like this!
"Of course, you're welcome anytime and I'm sure we'll have an interesting season together."
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Just an off-topic question, what's your arm span?"
Kobe asked curiously.
"I was measured last season when I joined the Lakers, and I think I was 2.18 meters tall."
Jiang Chen recalled that he did not take his test data seriously at all. After all, he was just a water dispenser manager at that time.
???
2.01 meters tall, 2.18 meters wingspan!
This is truly a coveted static talent!
Coupled with his terrifying jumping and air-staying abilities, he is fully capable of dominating the NBA on the defensive end.
It's just that the defensive ability of this Chinese rookie has not yet been developed to its full potential!
Kobe looked horrified.
After showing such abnormal strength, there is still room for improvement that is visible to the naked eye. This makes him full of infinite expectations for Jiang Chen.
He really wanted to see how dominant Jiang Chen would be on the court after improving his defensive ability!
"Man, you will become a balanced player, and you will dominate the NBA in the future."
Kobe couldn't help but exclaim.
"Of course, let me correct you. It's not the future, it's now!"
"The NBA officials actually ranked me 30th. This is unforgivable!"
Jiang Chen said angrily, getting angry whenever he thought of this ranking.
"Maybe they will regret this ranking after the season starts."
Kobe said, his expression turned cold again.
"Let's show our skills in the new season!"
Jiang Chen is eager to try and is looking forward to it...
...
A week later, NBA teams completed their final photos for the new season.
Two weeks later, the NBA preseason officially began.
The Lakers' lineup is stable and there is nothing to adjust, so Kobe and Jiang Chen both chose to rest, or one of them rested and the other played.
But the playing time is also very limited.
This disappointed the media and other teams who wanted to see what kind of chemistry Kobe and Jiang Chen would have together.
It seems that the two's first regular season debut together can only be seen in the opening game.
Four weeks later, it was October 27th, US time.
The opening game of the 2008~2009 NBA regular season has officially begun!!
