() The game between the Chicago Bulls and the Houston Rockets was not broadcast live across the United States, but because of Yao Ming's presence, China Central Television broadcast the game.
In fact, during the 2004-2005 season, the Rockets games were broadcast most frequently on CCTV.
Chen Jie, who had no NBA experience before obtaining Chinese nationality, is not very famous in China now. It can be said that he is far behind Yao Ming. However, for CCTV commentators and commentators, they still know that there are many players in the NBA today.
Such a number one figure. However, most of their attention is still on Yao Ming, and they don't know much about Chen Jie.
After all, very few people in China go to watch NCAA games.
When the players from the two teams entered the stadium, in the basketball broadcast room of Bei Jing, the invited commentator Zhang Weiping was analyzing the strength comparison of the two teams with the commentator Yu Jia.
Since McGrady came to the Rockets, the Rockets have had a true superstar. Francis's scoring ability is still far behind the two-time scoring champion McGrady. Even now, the NBA can be compared with McGrady.
The only top scorers are Philadelphia's Allen Iverson, Toronto's Vince Carter, and Kobe Bryant, who is now isolated in the Lakers and struggling to support the entire team.
And because they are in the same position, many people still like to compare Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant together. This is a commonplace issue in the United States.
Today, before the game started, Yu Jia also asked Zhang Weiping this question.
There was a smile on Zhang Weiping's face, and he expressed his opinion very confidently: "Two players, Tracy McGrady and Kobe, are both good players, superstars who can influence the outcome of the game alone. Their styles are also very good.
It's the same, but compared to the latter, McGrady's potential should be greater. I think, in another ten years, Kobe may not be as famous as he is now, but McGrady should still be able to dominate the NBA!"
Regarding Zhang Weiping's views, Yu Jia just smiled, neither agreeing nor objecting, but changed the topic without leaving any trace: "The Bulls' fast whirlwind some time ago shocked the entire league, but now Luer Deng and Du
Hongdu has been suspended. It seems that the Bulls will not be able to use this tactic in this game. Without fast play, the Rockets still have an advantage. Compared with Curry, although the offensive ability between the two is almost the same,
Defensively, Yao Ming is still better than him!"
"Yes!" Zhang Weiping chuckled, agreed, and continued, "Actually, in my opinion, it doesn't matter that the Bulls' fast play is missing Luol Deng and Du Hong, but one person is indispensable!"
"Director Zhang is talking about this year's No. 3 overall pick, Shawn?" Yu Jia asked.
Zhang Weiping nodded, then smiled mysteriously as if telling a secret that only he knew, and said: "Actually, he is a Chinese national now, but he just grew up in the United States. This year, he won the NCAA with Duke University.
He won the championship. He will probably be included in the next national team training squad!"
Yu Jia also smiled. There is no doubt that players like Chen Jie play a great role in the national team. The inside line of the Chinese team can be said to be world-class, but the outside line can only be haha. If there is Chen Jie,
Then the strength of the Chinese team can really be greatly improved. At this year's Athens Olympics, Chen Jie was not famous yet, so head coach Harris did not call him. If not, it is estimated that the Chinese team would not be just a third-place player in the end.
eight.
Thinking of this, Yu Jia also said: "For the Bulls, Jay Sean is a very key player, and looking at the current situation, the Bulls seem to gradually want to use him as the core to rebuild. However, he played in the game
I'm injured, otherwise, this game between the Bulls and the Rockets would be regarded as our Chinese Derby!"
Hearing this, Zhang Weiping smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to say a few words to comment on the conflict in the last game, the game started.
He swallowed his words again and said: "Watch the game first!"
The two people's pre-match comments caused an uproar in China.
CCTV's influence in China is still extraordinary. In 2004, many basketball fans who liked to watch the NBA would basically choose to watch CCTV's live broadcast. I heard that the most famous Jay Sean of the Bulls turned out to be
Many Chinese people were shocked.
Thanks to word of mouth, Chen Jie has become completely famous in China!
Almost all Chinese fans also know that in the NBA, we not only have a Yao Ming, but also a Jay Sean!
Chen Jie, who is far away in the United States, naturally has no idea that his fame has spread all over China just because CCTV broadcast a game between the Rockets and the Bulls.
At this time, he was still watching the game in the locker room.
Because he was not used to appearing on the bench in a suit, Chen Jie did not go to the scene. Instead, he stayed alone in the locker room after encouraging his teammates.
Although the Rockets have not yet produced much chemical reaction after the trade, they still have a great advantage against the Bulls who are short of major generals.
With Chandler suspended, it would be useless to expect Curry to defend Yao Ming. In this game, Yao Ming wreaked havoc in the Bulls' interior, scoring 26 points and 14 rebounds.
Of course, the most terrifying thing is not him, but Tracy McGrady.
Even Chen Jie sighed in admiration. He almost regarded Griffin's defense as nothing, and took everything he wanted on the offensive end. With a three-pointer and a pull-up, he was still the same McGrady, still the king who stood proudly on the court with the ball in one hand.
Compared to when he saw McGrady in a state of desolation before traveling through time, Chen Jie was filled with sadness.
In his past life, Tracy McGrady was his favorite player, bar none. Although he has now entered the league and is barely considered a star, he still has an indescribable feeling for Tracy McGrady and Chen Jie.
Although Chen Jie would not hold back if he faced him, Chen Jie enjoyed watching him dribbling the ball!
"Familiar recipe, familiar taste!" Chen Jie sighed and said this after McGrady's emergency stop three-pointer completely ruined the Bulls' hope of victory.
Then he picked up his schoolbag and left the arena. With one minute left in the game, the Rockets led 100 to 92 by eight points. There were no more miracles.
So far, McGrady has scored 38 points and is well-deserved as the scoring champion.
Chen Jie knew that this year was his peak. In the second half of the season, he even had a miracle of 35 seconds and 13 minutes, but these were like ephemerals, disappearing quickly after their brilliance.
When he returned home and turned on the TV, the game was over long ago. The Rockets won 102-92 in the end. Chen Jie, who was about to rest and continue training tomorrow, received a call from Yao Ming, saying that he wanted to go out for a party.
The Rockets will rest in Chicago for one night and will leave tomorrow. Naturally, Chen Jie would not refuse Yao Ming's invitation. What's more, he added a sentence at the end.
"Tracy is coming too!"
Tracy McGrady?! Chen Jie's heart moved and he was looking forward to this meeting.
