() After returning from the timeout, Howard made an alley-oop and Chen Jie made a difficult pull-bar. It seemed that at this moment in the game, the two rookies had become the protagonists.
However, it only lasts for a moment.
The main point of attack for the Magic is still Steve Francis.
Faced with Fred's sharp breakthrough and emergency stop jumper, Hinrich had no choice but to almost let him get what he asked for. Although on the offensive end, Chen Jie started to have the ball, which strengthened the breakthrough and attracted part of the Magic's defensive pressure.
, also opened up space for Eddie Curry, but every time Curry scored two points with a back-up or Chen Jie broke through and scored two points, the Magic team could always retaliate, and Fred either broke through and drew a foul or scored.
Ball, Mobley and Hill did not waste their opportunities.
By about six minutes into the game, the Bulls still had not narrowed the score gap and were still two points behind.
Skiles was really helpless off the court.
After hesitating for a moment, he saw Chris Duhon, who was sitting almost at the end of the bench, and finally made a move that surprised the entire audience and several on-site commentators.
He waved to Duhong and asked him to come on and replace Hinrich!
Even Duhon was puzzled by Scales' decision.
As a second-round pick, he didn't even expect to play in the first half of the regular season. He was even prepared to spend most of the first half of his career watching the water cooler or playing in garbage time.
But unexpectedly, Scales put him on the field in the first quarter of the first game.
Hinrich was also a little surprised when he was replaced. He was replaced after just six minutes of play. This is because the coach is not satisfied with his performance!
As a second-year rookie, although he has more experience than Chen Jie and the others, he is still half a rookie, so when he passed Skiles at the end of the game, he even felt a little uneasy, fearing that the coach would reprimand him.
Own.
During the timeout just now, his reprimand was still fresh in his mind.
Only this time, Skiles obviously didn't have such a bad temper. He spoke to Hinrich in a pleasant manner, saying: "Take a rest first!"
This saved Hinrich some face, as if he was just being rotated out. However, everyone knows that he only played six minutes in the first quarter, but it was far from the time for rotation.
Du Hong was a little nervous when he came on the court. He received a sideline ball from his teammate and almost made a mistake in his first dribble. Fu, with his quick eyes and quick hands, had already touched the ball with his fingertips.
Fortunately, Du Hong reacted quickly. When he saw the ball out of control, he immediately fell to the ground and hugged the ball in his arms, and then passed it to Chen Jie who came up to receive the ball.
At this time, the courtside commentator, the famous red-headed Karl, just said: "Now the rookie Chris Duhon has also been replaced. The current Bulls' backcourt combination is Chris plus Jay Shaw.
Well, this is a complete replica of this year's NCAA champion Duke University team. Let's see if this backcourt combination from Duke can surprise everyone?"
As a Bulls fan, he had a look of expectation on his face. As soon as he finished speaking, Du Hong almost made a mistake, which made his face look a little ugly.
"It's interesting. I didn't expect Coach Scott to be so courageous. Seeing that the team was in trouble, he dared to send in this rookie backcourt combination from Duke." Woods, who was watching the live broadcast in the hotel, smiled at Jordan.
Jordan's face was stern. Hearing this, he just nodded slightly and said nothing.
After Chen Jie got the ball, he observed that the Magic team did not mess up the defensive formation by grabbing the ball on the floor. Therefore, he did not choose to attack immediately. He dribbled the ball and waited for a while before passing the ball to Du Hong who was following.
This pair of Duke University teammates has a tacit understanding, after all, they have played together for two years.
Seeing Chen Jie pass the ball to him and then cut into the air immediately, Du Hong understood the idea and dribbled the ball in the opposite direction. With his back to Francis, he watched Chen Jie use Chandler's single screen inside to dodge to the baseline.
Once out of the gap, he immediately passed the ball.
This timing was perfect, not because Duhong was a better passer than Hinrich, but because he understood Chen Jie's playing habits and knew when Chen Jie was most comfortable catching the ball.
After receiving the ball, Chen Jie didn't need to adjust at all, he jumped up and shot a three-pointer.
After Mobley rushed over, it was too late. He jumped high and still failed to seal the basketball in Chen Jie's hands.
brush!
Three point hit!
The Bulls' home court at the United Center erupted in jubilation, with Karl shouting: "A play from Duke. Three-pointer, Jay Shawn!"
Duke University.
Grant Hill, who was on the field, also graduated from this school. Hearing these words, he smiled slightly.
He was known as Jordan's successor as soon as he entered the league. Although he has an easy-going temperament, he is also somewhat competitive. Seeing his two juniors complete an attack in front of him, he was also aroused to fight.
He has always believed that he is the greatest player in the history of Duke University. No matter how great Chen Jie was before entering the league, he did not think that Chen Jie could shake his position as the number one player in Duke history.
Therefore, when he high-fived Du Hong after Chen Jie made a three-pointer, he passed by the two and said this: "Senior, it's just a three-pointer. Don't be happy so early. Next, seniors are going to
I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Senior.
Chen Jie, who only reacted when he heard this title, watched Grant Hill walk away after saying this, with a look in his eyes, interesting, interesting, Duke's senior is also one of Jordan's successors.
You should be at your peak now. So you are very confident that you can defeat me, a rookie in the league?
Chen Jie smiles, is it really that simple?
Sure enough, in this attack, after Grant Hill received the ball, he singled out Griffin. Under Griffin's close defense, he still passed Griffin with his good sense of ball control, and Chandler came up to cover.
Le made a jump shot in front of him.
After scoring the goal, he smiled at Chen Jie, as if to say, look, junior, senior, this is called offense.
Chen Jie ignored his smile, lowered his head and ran to the frontcourt.
However, from the next attack, it could be seen that Chen Jie was actually very concerned about Hill's provocative smile.
After receiving the ball from Du Hong, Chen Jie took advantage of the situation and passed Mobley to the inside. Looking at the rookie's fast footsteps, Mobley smiled bitterly. Sure enough, the young man has the drive and is indeed a genius. He still needs to do a good job.
I tried to educate him, but I didn’t expect that I couldn’t prevent it several times.
Are you really old? Mobley thought to himself.
While he was following the defense and his thoughts were racing, Chen Jie, who was on the inside, suddenly made a shocking move!
Perhaps thinking that Chen Jie would choose to throw, Howard just opened his hands to block his layup route, but he didn't expect that Chen Jie's last move was in front of Howard, and before he could take off, he
Before, Chen Jie rode Howard and smashed the ball into the basket!
