Jiang Chen felt Scarlett's intense gaze and also looked over.
When their eyes met, there was a connection.
But Durant's tall and thin body standing between the two of them seemed a bit of an obstruction.
Jiang Chen also noticed that Durant would steal glances at Scarlett from time to time.
It's true!
Durant likes Scarlett, otherwise, he wouldn't have publicly stated on social media that he wanted to drink Scarlett's bath water.
It's a pity that Durant is destined not to get Scarlett.
In both the past and present, the two of them were ultimately not meant to be together.
Du Xiaoshuai could only express his admiration for Scarlett on social media.
But...I have developed a deep and shallow friendship with Scarlett.
It seems that I can not only beat Durant on the court, but also beat Durant in the romantic arena!
Looking at Durant who was secretly hiding his excitement like a kid, Jiang Chen didn't want to shatter Durant's fantasy.
This young man still has Scarlett and basketball in his world now, but in a few years, basketball will be the only thing in his eyes!
I don't know if Durant usually uses his hands to pass the time...
As the big screen turned to Scarlett, cheers rang out again.
The director was also very playful. He split the picture on the big screen, giving half to Scarlett and the other half to Jiang Chen.
After all, this is the second consecutive game that Scarlett has appeared at the Lakers' game, and there is a high probability that she came for the Lakers' star Jiang Chen.
Before Jiang Chen became famous, Scarlett had never been to a Lakers game.
Jiang Chen frowned.
This director is really something. Before the game even starts, is he going to break the fantasy that Durant has created for himself?
This is too much!
But it's okay, the sooner you know, the sooner you can be relieved.
The later you find out about this kind of thing, the more painful it will be.
Jiang Chen shook his head, getting rid of the messy thoughts, and focused on warming up.
Thunder halftime.
Durant looked up and saw Scarlett and Jiang Chen appear on the big screen at the same time and was very curious.
Scarlett obviously came to watch him, so what does that have to do with Jiang Chen?
The director is out of his mind!
Shouldn't I be able to put myself on the big screen with Scarlett?
Unacceptable!
He needed to talk to the team management. How could such an employee become a director?
Durant thought, feeling angry and full of hostility towards Jiang Chen.
No matter what, I must be the center of attention in this game!
Beep!
The referee blew the whistle.
Warm-up was over.
The starting players of both teams came on the court.
The Lakers still had their regular starters: Bynum, Gasol, Jiang Chen, Kobe, and Fisher.
The Thunder's starting lineup was: Perrott, Jeff Green, Durant, Collison, and Watson.
Bynum and Perrott jumped the ball, and the former easily won.
The Lakers took the lead in attacking.
Fisher caught the ball and threw it directly to the front court!
Jiang Chen received the ball and shot a three-pointer while Durant was not in position to defend.
The basketball flew.
Swish.
It went in.
"Here it comes! Jiang Chen's quick three-pointer, the Thunder players had no time to react, the speed was really too fast! The Lakers only took 4 seconds to attack this time."
"This has become a Lakers opening move!"
The commentator Van Gundy said.
This trick has worked many times. As long as they are not careful, the Lakers can easily score three points!
"The Thunder's preparations were insufficient! I don't know how coach Carlesimo arranged the tactics. When the Lakers used this quick three-pointer in two consecutive games, the other opponents should have been ready."
"Like in the last game, the Hornets did a great job. Although Jiang Chen finally made that three-pointer, it was the ultimate manifestation of his personal ability, not the Hornets' defensive problem."
Another commentator, Mike Breen, said, sounding dissatisfied.
"It's been more than a week since the start of the new season, and the Thunder still hasn't won a single game. I don't think it's entirely the players' fault, the coach also has a big problem. Carlesimo wants to create a complex system like the Spurs."
"But he forgot that the Thunder is just a young team that doesn't understand his complicated running tactics, and how can it compare with the experienced Spurs."
"In his system, these young players completely lost their vitality, and even Durant lost himself in the first few games."
Van Gundy added.
Carlesimo came from the Spurs' coach Popovich, so he believes in the Spurs' team basketball.
But they forgot to teach players according to their abilities rather than copying templates.
Mike Brin sighed and shook his head.
On the court.
The Thunder attack.
Durant had a strong desire to attack and wanted to go to the high post to ask for the ball for a one-on-one play, but guard Watson stopped him and signaled that he wanted to run a play.
Helplessly, he could only retreat to the baseline and stand in the corner.
The players started to move.
The Lakers used their strong defense to disrupt their offense.
When the ball left Watson's hands, Kobe intercepted it.
Then came a fast break layup and an easy score.
The Thunder continued to attack and missed the shot.
After grabbing the rebound, the Lakers quickly launched a counterattack. Jiang Chen dribbled across half court and stopped two meters away from the three-point line.
To the surprise of the audience, he made a long-distance three-pointer.
Swish.
It went in!
Elegant and carefree, full of energy!
The audience exclaimed. Many of them had never seen Jiang Chen's game, so they were surprised.
Durant stared at Jiang Chen with a gloomy face.
This undrafted player stole his spotlight!
If it was just an ordinary game, it would be fine.
But this was a match Scarlett came to watch, how could he be outshined?
Durant no longer cared about any tactics and ran outside the three-point line to demand the ball.
As the core of the team, Watson passed the ball to Durant.
With the ball in his hands, Durant showed great confidence.
He had the strong demeanor of a worker, but now he had a hint of a king.
"It's time to end your show!"
"It's my turn to perform. This is my home court. No one can act wildly here!"
Durant said confidently.
"You look much better when you're acting cool than when you're eating instant noodles!"
Jiang Chen said.
Durant's face changed. He dribbled the ball, changed direction, and was about to drive to the basket from the right.
Bang!
Suddenly there was a sound.
Durant felt his hands were empty and the ball was gone.
He was stunned and turned around to see Jiang Chen dribbling the ball and launching a fast break.
He was robbed?
Durant felt dizzy.
"It's over. I performed so poorly in front of Scarlett. I've lost all my face!"
