Chapter 63 Rubio's Provocation, Direct Violence
"Brother, I'll leave it to you from now on. Don't let my efforts go to waste!"
Dazhi looked at Jiang Chen passing by and said with some excitement.
Looking at Jiang Chen, Dazhi seemed to see himself back then. Although he did not perform as well as Jiang Chen, he was also ambitious and high-spirited, and was regarded as the hope and future of the Chinese men's basketball team.
But in the end, he failed to become what the country and fans wanted him to be.
Jiang Chen turned around and grinned: "Don't worry! We will definitely win this game. I will make up for your last 2 centimeters of regret."
Um?
Dazhi didn't quite understand Jiang Chen's last sentence.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
He felt relieved after hearing the previous sentence.
Jonas not only replaced Jiang Chen, but also replaced Yao Ming.
In his opinion, having the two core players of the team play together would be more intimidating to the Spanish team.
The Spanish team coach also replaced the core players Gasol and Pau Gasol to continue to maintain the suppression in the penalty area.
The Chinese team attacks.
Liu Wei dribbled the ball to the top of the arc to organize the offense, wanting to pass the ball to Yao Ming.
But his passing intention was seen through by Rubio, who easily intercepted the basketball.
Then quickly launch a fast break.
Even though Liu Wei Jin tried his best to return to defense, he still couldn't catch up with Rubio, and could only watch Rubio make a layup in the frontcourt with one on zero.
For several consecutive rounds, the Spanish team showed strong defense and successfully put down several attacks from the Chinese team.
Rubio, in particular, performed very well and caused Liu Wei to make mistakes continuously.
The players of the US team who were sitting in the audience watching the game were also surprised and remembered the starting point guard of the Spanish team.
"Rubio is really a talented player. His defensive ability is very outstanding, making it difficult for the Chinese team's defenders to easily carry the ball across half court. Perhaps this will be the turning point of this game."
Kobe said seriously, with admiration in his eyes.
"Yes! If the Huaxia team has an excellent point guard, then Dayao and Jiang Chen's performance on the court will be taken to a higher level."
James said, feeling it was a pity.
...
"Oh my! The Huaxia team has made too many mistakes recently. Why does it seem like they can't play after sitting on the bench for a few minutes?"
Yu Jia said anxiously.
"The Huaxia team is in great need of offensive players right now. Jonas should replace Dazhi."
"Dazhi has the ability to shoot three-pointers, which can open up space. This way, Yao Ming will have room to play in the restricted area, and the defensive pressure on Jiang Chen will be much less."
Yang Yi said, expressing his own thoughts and ideas, but unfortunately he was just a commentator and could not influence the coach's decision.
"Dazhi's offensive state just now was really great. It's a pity that he was replaced."
Yu Jia also said this, anxious and irritated, and confused by Jonas' decision.
"Guys, let's make a concerted effort and catch up with the score."
Rubio looked up at the score while dribbling the ball.
The gap has been narrowed to just 8 points.
Sure enough, when the Spanish team increased the intensity of the game, the Chinese team looked so vulnerable.
If it weren't for the explosion of player No. 12 in the first quarter, the Chinese team would not even have a chance to take the lead.
Rubio's eyes turned cold and he signaled to play pick-and-roll with Navarro.
He wants to challenge Jiang Chen!
Seeing this scene, the audience became excited and shouted "Come on Jiang Chen!"
"This kid is so brave, he actually dares to challenge Jiang Chen alone?"
"I have to say that the point guard of the Spanish team is a little overconfident. Jiang Chen's defensive ability is still very strong."
"I know this guard, Rubio, is a European basketball genius, but compared to our Jiang Chen, I think he is still a little bit behind."
"Let's see who will win this round of singles! Jiang Chen has to fight for our Chinese people! Don't let us down at the critical moment."
The fans were talking about it and were very excited.
On the stadium.
"Let's see who among us is the real basketball genius!"
"When I enter the NBA, my career achievements will definitely surpass yours."
Rubio said, with murderous eyes.
"hehe!"
Jiang Chen said nothing, but just smiled disdainfully.
He knew clearly that this Spanish "Golden Boy" was just an ordinary main player after entering the NBA, and he had never even made it to the All-Star Game in his career.
Even if you are a world-famous basketball genius, you will be just like everyone else in the NBA.
So he simply chose to ignore Rubio's provocative words.
Rubio dribbled continuously, trying to break through Jiang Chen's defense.
Jiang Chen activated the skill [Tomoki Tsukawa's Strongest Wall], combined with the enhanced nerve reaction in [Atsushi Murasakibara's Physical Talent], and directly made a steal.
Bang!
Jiang Chen was extremely fast, and he turned into an invisible hand and stole the basketball cleanly and neatly.
Then launch a fast break.
[Thunderous Dribble] is fully activated.
After dribbling across half court, he stopped suddenly outside the three-point line and made a three-point jump shot in the frontcourt.
Swish!
Hollow into the net.
There was thunderous cheers in the stadium.
"Beautiful! This steal is so beautiful! This three-pointer is also beautiful!"
"I knew Jiang Chen would not let the Chinese fans down. This counterattack is really a great honor."
"Rubio must be confused now. How come this one-on-one match ended before it even started?"
Everyone was talking about it and the emotions were extremely excited.
Rubio was indeed stunned where he was, not expecting the basketball in his hands to be snatched away from him.
This is not the result he wanted!
"Dude, calm down. Jiang Chen's defense is very strong. Try not to go head-on with him."
Gasol reminded in time with a serious tone.
He still clearly remembers the scene where Ray Allen and Pierce were defeated by Jiang Chen's defense. It was simply horrible.
Rubio came back to his senses, nodded slightly, and there was indeed a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.
He ran to the backcourt, received the pass from the baseline, dribbled across half court and passed it to Gasol.
Gasol forced a shot against Yao Ming.
BANG!
The basketball bounced out of the basket.
Dayao completed a perfect defense and grabbed the rebound.
The Chinese team launched a defensive counterattack.
Jiang Chen dribbled the ball across half court and shot a long-range three-pointer.
Swish!
Once again, the ball went into the net.
They scored 6 points in a row, widening the gap to 14 points again.
The Spanish team attacks.
Ruby's Olympic ball crossed the half court, and Jiang Chen rushed over directly.
He dribbled and changed directions repeatedly, trying to pass the ball but found there was no chance, so he could only force a jump shot.
BANG!
The basketball bounced out of the basket.
Dayao grabbed the rebound and threw it forward.
Jiang Chen was already running at full speed. After receiving the basketball, he activated the skill [Aomine Daiki's Unfixed Shot] and easily made a mid-range shot.
The Huaxia team leads by 16 points.
beep!
The coach of the Spanish team looked livid and stood up to call a timeout.
In the audience, Kobe shook his head helplessly.
"The success and failure of the Spanish team are Rubio's."
"He clearly used his defense to help the team to play a stable offensive and defensive rhythm, and was about to gain momentum, but he chose to provoke Jiang Chen."
"That's good now. Jiang Chen has directly punished us. This has also led to a wave of offensive climax for the Huaxia team!"
"Although he is a basketball genius, he is still a little behind Jiang Chen!"
