Chapter 126: Kareem Abdul- Jabbar's Doubts! Scarlett's Boredom! The Lakers Change Their Lineup Again

"Compared to Kobe, I expect Jiang Chen to explode in the second half and catch up with the score."

"Magic" Johnson said, full of anticipation.

"I think this young player is doing OK in a favorable situation, but he would be worse in an unfavorable situation."

"Why else would he have been so impressive in the opening quarter against Paul, but then had so little eye-catching performance in the second quarter?"

"Everyone can score! The key is to win the game while scoring, that's what makes sense."

Jabbar said bluntly.

When the team was facing difficulties, he was more optimistic about Kobe's explosion and leading the team to a reversal of the game, rather than Jiang Chen, the sophomore rookie.

Johnson frowned, and was again shocked by Jabbar's Versailles.

Who can't score?

Is scoring easy?

But not all young players can score 25 points in half a game.

However, as the all-time leading scorer in NBA history, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar naturally has the confidence and qualifications to say this.

"Let me see what the situation is like in the second half of the game."

Johnson said, his expression somewhat solemn.

The Hornets are quite strong, and Paul had a big breakout today, so it will be a bit difficult for the Lakers to win.

Now we can only hope that the Lakers' dual cores will explode, or that Paul's performance will return to normal level in the second half of the game.

The other side of the front seat.

"This Chinese player is very handsome, but his ability is just average!"

Scarlett said with a slightly frowned brow.

Jiang Chen did not show up at all as she imagined.

Apart from scoring 4 three-pointers in a row at the beginning, there was nothing else that stood out. He was definitely not the most impressive player in the game!

"25 points in the first half is still average? Sister, how high are your expectations?"

Elizabeth raised her voice in surprise.

"Anyway, no one played as well as the Hornets' No. 3."

Black Widow pouted her bright red cherry lips, and her every frown and smile attracted the attention of the male fans at the scene.

"Haha, Paul's performance was indeed amazing, but Jiang Chen also played such a wonderful performance in the first two games, but we didn't see it."

"I don't know if I can watch this game."

Elizabeth said with some regret.

She knew Jiang Chen scored 51 points in the last game.

It is not possible to score more than 50 points in every game!

So now seeing Jiang Chen score 25 points in the first half, I am very happy.

"That's a shame."

The black wife smoothed her golden hair, revealing her fair swan neck, which immediately attracted screams and whistles...

Black Widow frowned.

These boring men seem to only think with their lower body, which is really boring.

The long halftime is coming to an end.

On the Lakers bench, the players gathered together, waiting for Phil Jackson to make his tactical arrangements.

"Jiang! It's your turn to shine. Go out there and beat Paul!"

Phil Jackson's eyes were shining and there was a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.

Jiang Chen nodded gently, his excited eyes seemed to flash with thunder, and his whole body exuded a powerful aura.

Although big guys have a certain disadvantage in speed when defending small guys, after Phil boldly used Jiang Chen to defend Iverson in the last game, he was surprised to find that Jiang Chen was not at all disadvantage in speed.

Even though his speed is a little slower than Iverson's, Jiang Chen's neural reaction ability is much stronger than Iverson's, which also makes up for the speed gap.

The last player who was over 2 meters tall and a first-class point guard was Magic Johnson.

This is an amazing physical talent!

After discovering this detail, Phil had more ideas about how to use Jiang Chen.

It would be a shame if he didn't show more versatile performance on the court with such physical talent.

However, to fully tap Jiang Chen's talent is not something that can be done overnight, it requires long-term accumulation.

So now we just need to try more.

There are many surprises in the future!

Many thoughts flashed through Phil's mind, and he couldn't help but look forward to Jiang Chen's future.

"Don't worry, coach! I want to clock out after three quarters!"

Jiang Chen grinned and walked onto the court.

The second half of the game begins.

The Lakers changed their lineup again, just like the previous game against the Nuggets, moving Odom to the starting lineup to play small forward and letting Jiang Chen play point guard.

There were bursts of exclamations at the scene.

Many fans did not watch the game between the Lakers and the Nuggets, so they don't know what Phil's intention is.

The fans who watched the previous game were completely excited, because they knew clearly that it was after the change in the second half that Jiang Chen directly beat Iverson.

"Let Jiang Chen, who is 2.01 meters tall, defend Paul, who is 1.83 meters tall. Are you using him like you?"

"I don't believe this kid has your ability."

Jabbar turned his head and looked at Johnson, also puzzled by Phil's arrangement.

Johnson's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but smile, saying, "It's interesting.

In the last game, Jiang Chen was pushed to the point guard position by Phil in the second half.

Although he has no passing ability and no ability to connect the team, Jiang Chen's defense and mismatched offense are the key to the Lakers winning the game! Let's see how this game goes."

"Without the ability to pass the ball, can you still play point guard? This is unbelievable and beyond my comprehension."

Jabbar shook his head.

"If Phil often lets Jiang Chen play point guard, then I don't mind teaching him some passing skills and ... the ability to organize the team's offense."

Johnson said generously.

"Your passing ability is a talent! Is it something that ordinary players can learn?"

Jabbar shook his head and thought Johnson was just joking.

On the stadium.

The Lakers took the lead in attacking.

After Jiang Chen dribbled across half court, he looked at Paul in front of him, started a thunderous dribble, and changed direction and retreated two steps to create distance.

Shoot a three-pointer directly from two meters away from the three-point line!

The basketball drew a high arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

Another long-range three-pointer.

This goal instantly stimulated the adrenaline of the audience.

Even Kareem Abdul-Jabbar adjusted his glasses in surprise and said sincerely, "This kid is really good at shooting three-pointers!"

The Hornets attack.

Paul dribbled across half court, made a series of fake moves, and took advantage of Jiang Chen's unstable center of gravity to directly pull up and shoot a three-pointer.

Jiang Chen jumped up high, as if he had escaped gravity, and rushed into the sky like a rocket!

Bang!

He slapped the rising basketball and sent it flying.

The fans at the scene exclaimed in surprise.

The shocking hat trick shocked everyone.

"So high! No, it's really f*****g high! This jump is too high!"
