It was slightly quiet for a moment.

The reporters looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

The interview they just had with Jiang Chen simply refreshed their understanding of the word "pretending".

I'm afraid that even if the "King of Forces" Larry Bird is here, he won't be Jiang Chen's opponent!

As the league's "pressing king" in the 1980s, Larry Bird left countless show-off moments, which are recalled and relished by fans again and again.

In just a few minutes of interviews, reporters could sense that Jiang Chen was ready to become a new generation of force king.

But the difference is that the great thing about Larry Bird is that he has realized all the things he pretended to be.

This is strength!

What about Jiang Chen?

In the future, will he continue to perform explosively like he said, or will he be like a meteor passing by, disappearing from everyone after breaking out in this game, and continue to play a role on the fringes of joint ventures?

This answer can only be proven by time.

But for now, most reporters are not optimistic about Jiang Chen's career.

There are too many such short-lived performances in the NBA.

There are too many players who rise like rockets and fall like meteors.

Perhaps tonight's 35 points in a single quarter, 10 three-pointers, and a stunning performance were the most glorious moments of Jiang Chen's entire career.

"Phil, under your command, the team completed a great reversal. What do you think was the most correct decision you made in this game?"

The reporters changed their interview targets.

"There is no doubt that Jiang Chen will be allowed to play!"

"If I could have brought him on earlier, maybe we wouldn't have been 33 points behind."

Phil said with a slight smile.

"Then what do you think of what Jiang Chen said just now? Do you think he will become Pippen next to Kobe?"

A reporter asked, very curious.

"Well... some of Jiang Chen's words are indeed unbelievable, but the young man's gesture is still worthy of praise. Let's see what happens in the future."

"As for whether he can become Pippen next to Kobe, I dare not say that. After all, Pippen did not have the magical performance of 35 points and 10 three-pointers in a single quarter! Maybe he will become another Kobe?"

Phil shrugged and said without hesitation in praising Jiang Chen.

The reporters were shocked again.

Become another Kobe?

Just this water cooler player?

Could it be that Phil was shocked by Jiang Chen's performance in this game? He lost the judgment he should have?

Jiang Chen's performance is indeed worthy of praise, but becoming another Kobe is a bit too much.

As the face of the NBA, Kobe is an epoch-making superstar with influence in the world!!

Can this Chinese player He Dehe become another Kobe?

Except for Dayao, there has never been an NBA superstar in China.

"Kobe, do you think so too?"

Reporters focused their attention on Kobe.

"Yes, Jiang Chen is a magical player, and his future achievements in the NBA are immeasurable."

Kobe said calmly, giving himself approval.

What will happen in the future?

He doesn't care.

What he cares about most is the present, the tiebreaker the day after tomorrow.

If the praise now can inspire Jiang Chen's confidence, let him continue to perform well in the tiebreaker.

So why not praise it?

After hearing what Kobe said, Jiang Chen turned around and smiled, "Kobe, I have to say, you are really discerning!"

"..."

Kobe was stunned.

This little teammate is really immodest!

The reporters were also stunned.

This Chinese rookie really doesn't miss any opportunity to show off.

Having installed so much, let’s see how you perform in the tiebreaker!!

After the interview, many media reporters flocked to the Celtics interview room.

Compared to the crowded Lakers interview room, the Celtics interview room seemed a bit deserted, with only a few or less than a hundred media outlets.

"Rivers, how do you feel about this loss? Do you think this game will be the turning point in the entire series?"

a reporter asked.

"I didn't expect the team to lose at all. When we led by 33 points, we were already preparing to celebrate the championship, but who would have thought that a water cooler player from the Lakers scored 35 points in a single quarter and helped the team turn around

Even in the competition, I was defeated!"

"This feeling is very uncomfortable! We obviously already had the championship trophy in our arms, but that Chinese rookie ruined everything."

"I don't think this is a turning point! Since we can lead the Lakers by 33 points in today's game, I believe we can do the same in the tiebreaker. After all, a water cooler player can't always break out! The Lakers can't rely on one player either.

Watercooler guys go win a championship!"

Rivers shook his head and said, his face full of sarcasm, both for himself and for the Lakers.

He ridiculed his own misjudgment and gave Jiang Chen too many shooting opportunities in the early stage, which caused him to feel explosive in the later periods.

It is ironic that the Lakers turned the game around with the help of a water cooler player whose basic salary was only a few hundred thousand dollars.

But the most helpless thing is that the water cooler players are also members of the Lakers!

This is very frustrating.

"In the tiebreaker, will you make targeted defense against Jiang Chen?"

A reporter asked.

"No! It's totally unnecessary!"

"I know the Lakers will definitely increase Jiang Chen's playing time in the tiebreaker, but his biggest technical feature is just shooting three-pointers."

"10 out of 13 shots? I don't believe he will still have such a terrifying shooting percentage in the next game!"

Rivers said calmly, but he was complaining crazily in his heart.

Need to ask?

We must do targeted defense!

Even if this Chinese rookie's shooting percentage drops, he still cannot accept three or four three-pointers!

How can such a thing be said?

Never show your cowardice to the Lakers.

Sports competition is not only physical and technical competition, but also psychological competition is equally important.

...

The reporters nodded one after another and agreed with Rivers' statement.

"Garnett, can you tell us about the last defensive situation of this game? Why did you foul? Why did you let Jiang Chen score 21?"

A reporter who moved from the Lakers interview room couldn't wait to ask.

"There was no problem with our defense at all. We forced Jiang Chen into the penalty area, and then I fouled him and let him take a free throw!"

"But I didn't expect that this Chinese rookie could still score the ball despite the full foul!"

"One detail is that when I fouled, this Chinese rookie showed a smile on his face, which made me suspect that he was waiting for me to foul on purpose!"
Chapter completed!
