The Bulls attack.
The Lakers players changed positions when returning to defense.
Jiang Chen followed closely behind Ben Gordon, while Kobe followed closely behind Luol Deng.
After dribbling across half court, Rose passed the ball to Ben Gordon again.
Seeing the defender in front of him change, Ben Gordon showed a confident smile on his face.
Can't break through Kobe's defense, can't break through this Chinese player's defense?
"Now let me see your defensive ability and whether you can limit me to only 10 points in this game."
Ben Gordon said, his tone full of provocation.
"No! You are wrong. It is not 10 points, it is less than 10 points."
Jiang Chen said lightly, his eyes becoming sharp.
Ben Gordon's eyes widened with anger, and he was defeated again. He stopped talking and concentrated on observing Jiang Chen's defense.
He changed direction continuously, breaking through one step to the right, and then moving sideways one step to the right, preparing to jump up and shoot.
Jiang Chen directly used the skill [Hanamiya Intercept].
Bang!
The basketball was directly intercepted.
Clean, neat, and crisp.
Before Ben Gordon could react, Jiang Chen was already dribbling the ball towards the front court.
With the blessing of Atsushi Murasakibara's physical talent, his nerve reaction ability is truly terrifying.
I ran to the front court, but there was no one there.
Jiang Chen stepped into the three-point line and jumped up at the free throw line.
Soar into the sky.
After gliding in the air for a long time, Jiang Chen smashed the basketball into the basket at the moment of falling!
Boom!
The basket is screaming.
The whole place fell into silence.
All the audience stared at this scene in amazement, their mouths opened so wide that they almost dropped to the ground.
Fight, fight!
Then, the whole audience burst into exclamations, even cheers and applause.
"HO MY GOD! What did I see?"
"Jiang Chen actually completed a gliding dunk from the free throw line in actual combat? I never thought that there would be a player in the world who could complete such a difficult dunk in actual combat! What kind of physical talent is this? It's too abnormal!"
Barkley said excitedly, slamming the table and standing up.
The force was so great that it almost broke the table in front of him.
"Exciting! This game is really exciting! No, I should say Jiang Chen's performance is really exciting!"
"This Chinese player has once again refreshed our understanding of him. It turns out that he can not only shoot three-pointers from the outside but also complete such a difficult dunk."
"Just based on this dunk, I dare say Jiang Chen's physical talent is definitely ranked in the top three in history!"
Smith also exclaimed, startled by the sound of Barkley slamming the table, but he quickly adjusted himself and immersed himself in passionate commentary.
On the stadium.
The Lakers players were celebrating like crazy, waving their arms excitedly, their facial expressions completely out of control.
Ben Gordon had a look of shock on his face and was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
He didn't understand why this Chinese rookie was so hostile to him, but he knew it would be difficult for him to perform well in this game.
This Chinese player is ridiculously strong.
Especially at the moment when he just made the steal, he even felt a hint of the breath of a beast, and his soul began to tremble.
This has never happened before in my career in the past few years.
It's really unbelievable.
Rose looked at Jiang Chen, who was able to fly and do everything, and saw that he could play as he pleased in the Lakers, and he couldn't help but show envy.
You have to know that Jiang Chen entered the league only one year earlier than himself and worked as a water dispenser manager for a year, but when Jiang Chen broke out and showed strong strength, he became the core player of the team.
So when will I be able to become the undisputed leader of the Bulls?
There was desire in his eyes.
"Man, release your little universe! You are extraordinary, so move towards greatness!"
As if seeing through Rose's thoughts, Jiang Chen shouted at Rose while returning to defense.
Ross was confused.
Is this opponent encouraging himself to explode?
He dribbled across half court, seeing the defensive loopholes in Fisher, and was eager to attack, but thinking of Ben Gordon's words, he chose to pass the ball.
Luol Deng received the ball and faced Kobe with his back to the basket.
Although he is 2.03 meters tall and has a height advantage over Kobe, he still cannot break through Kobe's fierce defense and can only step back and jump shot.
BANG!
The basketball bounced out of the basket.
Bynum grabbed the rebound and immediately launched a counterattack.
After Kobe broke into the restricted area, he did not make a layup but passed the basketball back to Jiang Chen who was standing outside the three-point line.
After Jiang Chen received the basketball, he shot a three-pointer without hesitation.
Swish.
The goal went into the net without any suspense.
With this shot, the first quarter ended.
36:20.
The Lakers established a 16-point lead in a single quarter.
Jiang Chen exploded in a single quarter, making 9 of 13 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 25 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 steals.
Kobe was passing the ball to Jiang Chen the whole time, and he only made 2 of 4 shots in the quarter, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 5 points.
But he sent out 5 assists, breaking his career record.
Barkley couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the stats. With Jiang Chen's outburst, Kobe has broken a lot of assists records this season.
This shows how good a passer Kobe is.
When the team has a player who is worthy of him passing the ball, he is really happy to share the ball.
Entering the second quarter.
Both teams have a mixed lineup of starters and substitutes.
The Bulls' Hinrich suddenly broke out and made two consecutive three-pointers, narrowing the gap to 10 points.
The Lakers' Odom, Farmar, and other players did not have a good touch and failed to make shots. They could only watch the Bulls continue to narrow the score.
However, facing the Bulls' momentum to catch up, Phil Jackson was not prepared to call a timeout. He was more accustomed to the players adjusting their own status on the court.
Unless the score is too close...
Oink!
After two more goals, the score difference was narrowed to 6 points.
In less than 3 minutes, the Lakers lost a 10-point lead.
Phil couldn't help it after all and stood up to call a timeout.
He looked gloomy and was very dissatisfied with the players' performance.
The Bulls are a weak team, and their bench is one of the weakest in the entire league. But it is this bunch of unknown players that made it difficult for the Lakers' bench lineup, which had Odom, to cope with it. This is intolerable.
"Guys, you guys were blown away by the Bulls' bench. I never expected that."
"I don't want this game to be reversed after leading by 16 points!"
Phil said coldly.
"Jiang Chen, you are ready to go on the court. I give you unlimited firing rights. Kick the butts of the Bulls players hard!!"
