Chapter 143 I Really Can't Beat Jiang Chen, Why Doesn't Anyone Believe It?
This Chinese player really gives us surprises time and time again!
Phil sat back and watched Jiang Chen's amazing performance on the court, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He has been a coach for nearly 20 years. He has coached the great "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan, the most dominant center in history O'Neal, and Kobe, one of the greatest shooting guards in NBA history.
These great players also dominated their respective eras and performed in a way that shocked the world.
But there has never been a player as amazing as Jiang Chen!
Phil searched his vocabulary in his mind, and finally could only use the word "magical" to define Jiang Chen.
Not to mention his rookie season, he was a complete water cooler substitute.
Let's start with the stunning comeback in the last quarter of Game 6 of the Finals against the Celtics. Jiang Chen seemed to have suddenly awakened and made a magical three-pointer.
And Jiang Chen has continued his amazing three-point shooting ability to the field, making it one of the most threatening offensive methods in his offensive arsenal.
If Jiang Chen's three-point shot was achieved through hard work.
Phil would never believe it!
He has seen too many great basketball geniuses and knows deeply that this level of shooting ability can only be described as "talent".
It seems as if everything is arranged by God.
Jiang Chen exploded at the critical moment of the Lakers' life and death, and then things got out of control.
At the Olympics, he led the Chinese team into the finals and defeated the powerful Dream Team.
Shocked the world again.
Now in the regular season, Jiang Chen is giving us magical performances in every game.
No matter what it is, as long as you ask him to do it, he can do it on the court.
Even if it is something he is not good at, he can still complete it.
This is incredible.
Phil had mixed thoughts in his heart.
He wouldn't send O'Neal to defend a guard or shoot a three-pointer; he wouldn't send Jordan to defend Olajuwon;
But for Jiang Chen, he always wanted to try some special arrangements to see what the upper limit of this Chinese player's ability was.
Now Jiang Chen has completely locked down Howard, which has directly changed his perception of basketball and made him realize more deeply that this Chinese player...seems to have no ceiling.
So how high will Jiang Chen's future achievements be?
Phil couldn't imagine it, but he was looking forward to it.
Just like looking forward to the rising sun, Jiang Chen, this rising potential star, gives people endless imagination.
Even more than Michael Jordan?
Phil thought about it and couldn't help but smile. Who can say for sure?
Everything is possible!
On the stadium.
Jiang Chen faced Howard's defense outside the three-point line and made another three-pointer.
After the hit, the Lakers also narrowed the gap to 5 points!
We will be able to overtake soon.
beep!
Court hearing.
Magic head coach Van Gundy became anxious and quickly stood up and called a timeout.
"Howard! What happened? You played like a rookie in the second half!"
"Oh my God! Is this a joke? I can't believe you got beaten by a small forward and completely lost your dominance in the restricted area."
Van Gundy shook his head in disbelief, his expression unable to conceal his disappointment.
Howard remained silent, his face full of annoyance, and he just wanted to curse.
This situation is really outrageous.
Even more outrageous than the gossip that he has 10 illegitimate children!
"Coach, this Chinese player is really strong! I... can't beat him!"
After a moment's silence, Howard explained helplessly.
The teammates all looked sideways with surprise in their eyes.
Can't hold it?
Are you sure you're not kidding?
Is there anyone in this league that Howard can't beat?
Even O'Neal is no match for you now!!
"Dude, are you serious?"
Van Gundy was stunned. He didn't expect to get such an answer.
"Yes!"
"His strength was so great that he completely blocked me out of the penalty area."
Howard said frustratedly.
"Hey man, I think Jiang Chen's beating may have messed up your brain. Take a break off the court and review the game to see what went wrong."
Van Gundy shook his head and said.
???
Howard was confused.
Didn't I tell him everything?
I can't stand Jiang Chen!
Why doesn't anyone believe it?
He sat down on the bench depressed, put a towel on his head, and went into seclusion.
Pause back.
The Magic brought on backup center Gortat.
Before going on the court, Van Gundy said to Gortat: "Man, go kick this Chinese player's a** for me!"
"Don't worry, coach! I will definitely beat him up so badly that he will doubt his life."
Goto also said this with great confidence, not taking Jiang Chen, who played the center position, seriously at all.
In his opinion, Howard was abused only because his mentality was disturbed by Jiang Chen, which made him lose his condition, not because he really couldn't beat Jiang Chen.
After all, Howard is the league's top center, while Jiang Chen plays as a small forward.
It's totally against the basketball principles for Howard to be beaten.
The game begins.
The Magic took the lead in attacking.
Gortat took the initiative to ask for the ball in the penalty area.
Nelson followed the coach's instructions and passed the basketball to Gortat, who pushed against Jiang Chen and tried to get closer to the basket.
But I was surprised to find that I couldn't move it at all.
Can only hook the ball sideways.
Jiang Chen jumped high, without giving any face, and directly blocked the basketball with a volleyball-style shot, sending it flying.
The whole audience exclaimed again.
Gortat's expression also changed drastically. This Chinese player is more difficult to deal with than expected!
Kobe grabbed the basketball, dribbled quickly across half court, broke into the restricted area, used the Euro step, and made an easy layup.
The score difference came to 3 points.
After scoring the goal, Kobe was also very excited, waving his arms vigorously with a ferocious expression.
He has always been eager for victory to the point of being obsessive.
The Magic attack.
Gortat received the pass again and tried to push Jiang Chen, but he couldn't and could only pass the ball.
Just when the ball was about to be passed, Jiang Chen used the skill [Hanamiya Steal] to steal the ball.
Bang!
Jiang Chen easily stole the ball, quickly made a fast break, and shot a three-pointer just outside the three-point line.
The basketball drew a high arc.
Swish.
Hollow into the net.
Tie!!
Kobe ran over excitedly and high-fived Jiang Chen to celebrate, his eyes full of admiration.
"Wonderful! This game was so wonderful! Phil was really amazing. The change in formation in the second half had a miraculous effect."
"Jiang Chen actually defended Howard! It's hard to believe, but it happened right in front of me."
Mike Brin said with great emotion, thinking back to his previous doubts, he was really short-sighted!
Reggie Miller said excitedly:
"It's more than just defending him, it's completely locking down Howard!!"
"Lock him directly to the bench!"
