Chapter 142 Smart Phil? Phil: I'll Try

Reggie Miller shouted excitedly, completely turned on, and roared in his heart.

I knew it! I knew that this guy Jiang Chen would never disappoint us!

It doesn't matter how Phil arranges the tactics, the key is what kind of performance Jiang Chen can bring?

Sure enough, this Chinese boy surprised everyone again.

"Incredible, Jiang Chen's attack and defense just now were really surprising. Can he really limit Howard?"

Mike Brin exclaimed, beginning to question his own judgment, his face full of shock.

This... doesn't make any sense at all!

Wait a little longer! And see.

Maybe it was just a coincidence.

"Undoubtedly, I am very optimistic about Jiang Chen! I watched all his Olympic games. This Chinese guy has an indescribable strength in his body, which is a point that has been overlooked."

"Tonight against Howard, maybe it's time for him to prove his strength."

Reggie Miller said, full of anticipation.

The Magic attack.

Howard received the ball in the low post again, and still dribbled towards Jiang Chen, trying to use his strength advantage to push Jiang Chen back, and then get closer to the basket to complete the shot.

However...it still doesn't work.

Howard couldn't help but feel anxious and started swinging his big elbow.

With a bang.

Jiang Chen fell to the ground.

Howard hit him in the face with his elbow, and half of his face became swollen and red.

beep!

The referee blew the whistle immediately and penalized Howard for an offensive foul.

Kobe and Odom quickly ran over to help Jiang Chen up and looked at him with concern.

Jiang Chen shook his head to indicate that he was fine, but his face looked a little ugly.

[Tomoki Tsukawa's Strongest Wall] has a 20% chance of angering the opponent and inducing the opponent to commit a foul.

But the price of angering the opponent is too high!

It's simply the Seven Injury Fist, hurting others and yourself.

Howard's elbow just now almost gave me a concussion.

If it weren't for Atsushi Murasakibara and Kagami Taiga's physical fitness, they would have been sent to the hospital directly.

Howard spread his hands, indicating that he had not committed a foul, and then ran obediently to the backcourt...

The Lakers attack.

Kobe and Gasol completed a two-man cooperation. The former took advantage of the screen to shoot a long-distance jump shot and easily hit the basket.

Although Jiang Chen was in the restricted area and had no chance to attack, the Lakers did not lack offensive firepower.

Magic offensive round.

After Nelson dribbled across half court, he saw Howard still asking for the ball, frowned slightly, and passed the basketball over anyway.

Howard switched his offense to defense this time. He no longer used brute force to push Jiang Chen. Instead, he dribbled the ball and suddenly turned around, trying to pass Jiang Chen to complete the attack.

But how can Jiang Chen's movement speed be compared with Howard?

He moved his feet and easily blocked Howard, who had no choice but to force another shot.

For Howard, this is not his style of offense at all.

His offense is only threatening when he stands under the basket.

This is why Howard is the top center in active service, but his dominance is far less than that of super centers like Olajuwon and O'Neal.

Even though O'Neal's offensive skills were rough, he was very skilled in using his left and right hook shots.

Howard's offensive skills are very simple.

Outside the penalty area, his offensive threat is almost zero.

The basketball drew a strange arc.

With a loud bang.

Bounce out of the basket.

really.

Howard completed another outrageous attack.

Jiang Chen once again used his super jumping ability to grab the backcourt rebound, and then dribbled the ball forward frantically.

Howard couldn't keep up with Jiang Chen's speed at all and could only watch him getting farther and farther away from him.

Seeing this, the rest of the Magic players all rushed towards Jiang Chen.

He passed the ball to Kobe in time, who made an easy layup.

Less than 3 minutes into the game, the Lakers went on a 7:0 run, narrowing the gap to 10 points.

"Dude! Be steady, find the right opportunity to shoot, and don't blindly make some outrageous offensive moves!"

Magic head coach Jeff Van Gundy shouted loudly, a little anxious.

This was a game that could have been won easily, so why did Howard start sleepwalking in the second half?

Howard nodded solemnly.

After several rounds of competition, he knew very well that he had indeed met his match.

The Chinese player in front of him possesses strength that is no less than his own, and even surpasses his own.

He stretched his arms, looked at the muscles as thick as buckets, and then looked at Jiang Chen's slightly thin body. He couldn't believe that his strength was not as good as this Chinese player.

This is really outrageous, it's outrageous to the extreme!

This time, he did not take the initiative to ask for the ball to play against Jiang Chen in the penalty area, but ran to the three-point line to set a pick-and-roll for Turkoglu.

After completing the pick-and-roll, he followed down and prepared to complete an aerial relay.

Turkoglu also tossed the basketball high in a very tacit manner.

Howard jumped up, a ferocious look on his face, and was about to grab the basketball in the air with both hands.

At this moment, Jiang Chen caught up from the side, jumped high, and slapped the basketball away.

Suddenly, the whole audience exclaimed.

"Oh my god! Jiang Chen was able to intercept the aerial relay? The steal just now was really amazing!"

Reggie Miller exclaimed, once again impressed by Jiang Chen's performance.

He expected Jiang Chen to be able to compete with Howard, but he didn't expect Jiang Chen to completely suppress Howard.

That's the top center in the NBA!

Was it so easily prevented?

Not even an aerial oop opportunity?

Phil is really smart. The key is that Jiang Chen is also a good player. He can shine in any position and provide stable help to the team!

"Although it's shocking and hard to believe, the fact is happening right before our eyes and we can't help but believe it!"

"There is no doubt that Jiang Chen really restricted Howard's performance."

"Since the beginning of the second half, Jiang Chen has successfully defended Howard four times in a row! Once or twice may be accidental, but three or four times is due to real strength."

Mike Brin took a deep breath and said, conquered by Jiang Chen's performance, he changed his attitude in time.

He was completely unable to describe his emotions.

But he knew that his understanding of the sport of basketball was changed again by Jiang Chen tonight.

Lakers bench.

Bynum was so excited that he couldn't speak and could only wave the towel wildly to express his emotions.

When Phil sent Jiang Chen to play center, Bynum thought it was a joke and was ruining the game.

But the slap in the face came so quickly.

Jiang Chen actually restrained Howard. Who could have thought of this?

Phil?

Bynum looked at Phil, his eyes full of admiration.

Now it seems that the coach's decision was really correct.

Although Phil appeared calm on the surface, his heart was filled with excitement.

Oh my god!

I tried it on a whim, and I didn't expect Jiang Chen to be so useful. He actually defended Howard!

This is really quite amazing!!
