Chapter 16 Post-match interview! I'm telling the truth
Facing the reporter's question, Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and said calmly: "It's very calm! I just seized the opportunity to play and then performed as I should!"
Um???
The reporters were a little confused.
Desirable performance?
A water-cooler player who had little chance to play and only made one three-pointer all season scored 35 points in less than 10 minutes at the most critical moment in the finals.
Is this the proper behavior?
This is too arrogant of him!
Show off!
This Chinese player is definitely showing off.
"Then are you confident that you can still perform such a great performance in the next game? Make as many three-pointers as you did in this game?"
The reporter continued to ask, with a hint of joking in his eyes.
After just one game, this Chinese rookie regarded himself as a superstar like Kobe?
Have you forgotten your identity as a player administrator?
"Of course! There is no doubt that I believe my performance will be better in the next game and maybe I will make more three-pointers."
Jiang Chen said calmly, his tone full of confidence.
When the reporters heard this, they all showed questioning expressions, not quite believing Jiang Chen's words.
Hitting 10 three-pointers in one game is already astonishing.
Do you still want to hit 10 three-pointers in two consecutive games, or even more?
They are no longer showing off.
But he's bragging.
It’s no wonder reporters would question it. In the history of the NBA, the record for three-pointers made in a single game is only 12 three-pointers.
This kind of record is rare.
It can only be broken when the state suddenly comes one day, and then the hand feels hot.
The right time, right place and right people are indispensable.
Apparently reporters thought that tonight Jiang Chen's touch was so hot that he entered another realm, and that was why he was able to hit an incredible 10 three-pointers in a single quarter.
According to normal logic, it will always return to normal levels after an outbreak.
It is too difficult to continue this explosive performance, especially for a water cooler player.
So no one believed what Jiang Chen said. After all, since the introduction of three-pointers in the NBA, no player has ever been able to throw more than 10 three-pointers in two consecutive games.
Former three-point champion Larry Bird couldn't do it; historical three-point champion Reggie Miller couldn't do it; current three-point champion Ray Allen can't do it either!
"Hey, man, you made 10 field goals tonight, are there going to be more next game? Are you sure you're not kidding?"
A reporter asked, with a tone of disbelief and even a hint of mockery. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
"Is 10 three-pointers a lot? It just took me one quarter to do it, and the next game I might have four quarters."
Jiang Chen shrugged and said.
"..."
The reporters took a deep breath.
Isn’t 10 three-pointers a lot?
Damn it, no player has ever thrown 10 three-pointers in a single game in NBA finals history!
Jiang Chen is the first!!
They wanted to refute, but they found that what Jiang Chen said was true and very reasonable, but they didn't know how to refute.
Kobe next to him also showed a surprised expression.
This Chinese rookie is really arrogant and unruly!
He is simply more arrogant than when he was young.
"Jiang, you made 10 of 13 three-pointers tonight. Your shooting percentage is really exaggerated. You must know that the current sharpshooter Ray Allen really made 7 three-pointers tonight. How did you do it?"
of?"
Reporters began to wonder how Jiang Chen broke out. There must be an opportunity, a change in mentality, a release of pressure, or a desire to prove himself.
"It's really simple. I just stood on the court, took the opportunity to shoot those three-pointers, and then they went in."
Jiang Chen said with a smile and spread his hands to express his helplessness.
???
The reporters once again stood there dumbfounded.
This... is a bit outrageous.
Simple?
Is there any difference in what we understand by simplicity?
Is the three points in the midfield logo simple?
Is it easy to shoot a three-pointer against the defense?
Is it easy to hit 5 three-pointers in a row?
Why can I understand every word Jiang Chen said, but when it is connected into one sentence, everyone can’t understand it?
There was some silence.
The reporters were disrupted by Jiang Chen's words and the interview was somewhat unable to proceed.
After a while, someone finally continued to ask questions.
"Jiang, tonight you won the game with a free throw. In your last attack, you didn't shoot a three-pointer, but broke into the penalty area. Did you want to push the game into overtime?"
A reporter asked, very curious.
"Everything was under my control. I never thought about playing overtime or breaking into the penalty area. I just went for 21."
Jiang Chen said, his tone still confident.
He did think so at that time and did so.
???
The reporters looked at each other with confused expressions for the first time.
Damn it.
Can we still have a good interview?
Not to mention Jiang Chen is a water cooler player, he is the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan. Do you dare to say that?
In an offense that decided the championship, he actually had the confidence to break into the penalty area and draw a foul to end the game at 21?
What kind of self-confidence does it take for him to do this?
It's such nonsense.
Moreover, Jiang Chen faced Kevin Garnett, the league's best defensive player, and it was too difficult.
coincide!
The last attack must have been a coincidence.
It just happened by chance that Jiang Chen said this.
After all, it is an established fact that what happened happened. Jiang Chen can say whatever he wants. It is no longer possible to deduce whether it is correct or not.
Kobe's eyes also showed horror. He was confident that his offense was the best in history and he could turn things around. It was easy to shoot the winning shot, but it was difficult for him to control the winning shot in such detail.
.
Therefore, he did not believe Jiang Chen's words either.
But after all, this is Jiang Chen’s first interview in the entire season, so just let him say whatever he wants!
The reporters shook their heads. Jiang Chen also knew that the last 21-point attack under his control was too shocking, so he said: "You can go to the Celtics interview room later and interview Garnett. Maybe his answer
It will satisfy you.”
When the reporters heard this, their eyes lit up.
yes!
As a person involved, Garnett must be very clear about the situation at that time!
Just ask Garnett and you will know if Jiang Chen is showing off.
"Jiang, because of your extraordinary performance, you completed the biggest reversal in the history of the finals with 33 points, making this series enter the tiebreaker. What are your expectations for the tiebreaker?"
a reporter asked.
"Without a doubt, overall winner!"
"I will definitely help the team defeat the Celtics and win the championship trophy this season."
Jiang Chen said calmly, with strong confidence in his tone, and he was even more domineering.
The reporters were all surprised.
Is this a water cooler player?
Is this the kind of momentum a water-cooler player has?
But this Chinese rookie is clearly an undrafted player, a water-cooler player!
Chapter completed!
