() A conversation with Li Ming'er made Chen Jie know that he is far from successful in the NBA. His good performance in the previous few games has only been recognized by some people.
If you want to survive in this league, which Li Ming'er describes as a jungle where the strong prey on the weak, your own achievements are far from enough.
Think about it. In his previous life, even Yao Ming was called a softie. Even Nowitzki, who won the regular season MVP, had a lot of criticism. After leaving the Heat, James, who almost dominated the league, was blamed by the media for disappearing in the fourth quarter. Where is he?
Can it satisfy the current performance?
Putting aside everything else, just because O'Neal dared to foul himself like this, doesn't it mean that he doesn't think he has the qualifications and ability to deal with him?
The alliance's favoritism means that in their hearts, they are just a rookie who shows off!
A superstar must first become a superstar! Chen Jie gave himself a goal in his heart!
Chen Jie believes that the standard for a superstar is to at least win a championship or a regular season MVP. Obviously, he still needs to work hard for a long time and cannot slack off.
Think about Kobe. Although his personality is disliked by many people, his spirit has to be admired. Even after winning the finals MVP, Kobe has never lowered his requirements for himself. That is almost paranoid.
His training is the most important reason why he dominates this league!
Chen Jie, now he must make Kobe his original goal!
Learn and then excel!
This thought prompted him to drive to the training hall of the United Center to practice strength the next day when his injury was not healed. When he was in the NCAA, he felt that no matter which defender he competed with, his physical strength would not be at a disadvantage, but in the NBA
Compared with these muscular men, Chen Jie felt that there was still a big gap between himself and himself.
Not to mention inside players like Chandler O'Neal, there are also some outside players such as Mobley. Although they don't look much stronger than themselves, it is still very difficult to break through and fight against them.
Therefore, in terms of strength, you must strengthen yourself.
Chen Jie knows that because of the Bulls' recent fast-paced whirlwind, he rarely has the opportunity to compete head-on with opposing defenders in positional battles. After rushing into the paint, he basically has an open field and does not need to physically confront the big center to score. However,
, this is just a temporary measure after all.
Not to mention that the fast whirlwind relies too much on the players' physical strength and state. Even if I and Luol Deng Duhong can maintain momentum, in the playoffs, this tactic will lose a lot of power. After all, at that time, physical confrontation was compared to
The regular season is on another level.
Moreover, other teams must not have given up studying the Bulls' tactic. One day, other teams will find a way to restrain it. At that time, Skiles' clever tactic will have a historical mission.
it's over.
I hope that by then, the Bulls teammates will have found a tacit understanding and experience.
And I also need to improve my strength as soon as possible before that day begins!
With this thought in mind, Chen Jie lifted the dumbbells almost like a showman, one set of 100 times. On this day, he just lifted the dumbbells and did three sets. He also did not give up the exercises to strengthen the chest and back! In addition to the injured waist,
Chen Jie completed the other training with more effort than usual.
When he came out of the training hall in the afternoon, his entire training uniform looked like it had been washed.
When he walked to the locker room to change, he picked up a newspaper at random and found that it happened to contain O'Neal's remarks after the game the day before yesterday.
"The most disappointing rookie"
Seeing this title, Chen Jie smiled coldly.
Looking at the comments, there are actually many people who echo O'Neal's words and think that they just found a tactic that suits them in the Bulls. If they were in other teams, they would not have achieved what they have now.
With Howard's consistent strong rebounding numbers in these games and Okafor's outstanding performance on both the defensive and offensive ends, the public opinion that just a few days ago believed that Chen Jie was the strongest rookie this year has quietly changed.
.
O'Neal, indeed, has great appeal in the NBA.
Even if he committed a flagrant foul, so many people still supported him.
However, Chen Jie didn't pay attention to this. When I come back, I will let you see who is the best rookie!
Although I don't yet have the strength to say that I can compete with players of O'Neal's level, I am still confident that people like Howard Okafor want to compete for this position!
While he was encouraging himself in his mind, the door to the locker room was suddenly pushed open, and Bulls coach Scott Skiles walked in.
Seeing Chen Jie, Skiles was stunned for a moment, but then he suddenly realized and smiled: "Jie, you are here to cheer for your teammates. You are here very early. They will be very happy to see you!"
After Chen Jie was injured, he did not train with his teammates. He only came to the United Center every day to receive recuperation and massage from the team doctor. However, the Bulls players were all at the training ground at that time, so these two days, he and these people were not there.
Have met.
Hearing what Scales said at this moment, Chen Jie remembered that tonight was a game against the Houston Rockets. No wonder there was no one in the equipment room of the training facility all day. It turned out that they were all going to the training ground for tactical drills.
Already.
NBA teams usually conduct physical training every day, but on the day of the game, as a rule, in order to allow the players to recover their physical strength, they will not practice physical fitness and strength.
So after hearing Scales' words, Chen Jie immediately understood the reason why he didn't see any of his teammates today.
However, after Scales finished saying this, before Chen Jie could answer, he saw the training clothes that Chen Jie had just taken off, which were full of water stains. Scales was stunned: "Jie, what are you doing today?"
Coming to train?”
"Yeah!" Chen Jie smiled and nodded, "Because I have a waist injury, I can't do ball training, so I went to practice strength for a while!"
A while?
Hearing this, Skiles smiled bitterly and looked at the sweat on his training clothes. It was not just a while, it must have been at least seven or eight hours. This rookie was really harsh on himself.
Thinking of this, Skiles did not blame Chen Jie for ignoring injuries and training, but was very satisfied. With talent and hard work, this rookie's future may be bright!
Nodding slightly, Scales still said uneasily: "If you train like this in the future, don't go alone. Tell me and I will send a physical coach to accompany you!"
Although Skiles' tone was calm, the concern in his words was very obvious.
Chen Jie felt warm in his heart and nodded.
Moreover, he also knew in his heart that the devilish training plan he had formulated would be more effective if a coach accompanied him and gave guidance!
As for this plan, Chen Jie plans to officially start it after he recovers from his injury. Today, it is just a small test.
