() After the game against the Rockets, the Bulls flew to Washington to play an away game. Chen Jie, who is currently on the injured list, did not accompany him. The Wizards, who owned Arenas, naturally did not let him go.
The visiting Bulls had it better. After a hard battle, the Bulls lost by three points.
This is the Bulls' third consecutive loss.
After three consecutive wins at the start of the season, the Bulls plummeted. A series of three consecutive losses brought the winning percentage back to 50%, and their ranking dropped to eighth in the Eastern Conference.
Of course, this did not make the Chicago fans despair. Because they knew that this three-game losing streak was not due to a crime. After all, Chandler, Duhon, Luer and Deng were suspended, and Chen Jie, the team's most highly anticipated rookie, was not injured yet.
Come back more and more.
When the four of them return to the team, the Bulls will definitely shock the league again.
Chicago fans have such a firm idea in their hearts.
After the game against the Wizards, the Bulls once again returned to the United Center to face the underdog Hornets in the Western Conference back-to-back. The Hornets have yet to win a game since the start of the game, with a pitiful record of 0 wins and 7 losses, and they are short of players.
The Bulls are playing consecutive games again. They really want to win their first win of the season. However, in this game, Curry broke out. He is almost omnipotent on the offensive end and led the Bulls to a long-lost victory.
The victory in this game gave the Chicagoans a temporary sigh of relief. Immediately, in the next game against the Timberwolves, Chandler, Duhon, Luer and Deng all returned from suspension. This restored their hope.
After these few games, everything should be smooth sailing next? While they were looking forward to it, they were surprised to find that there was no news about Chen Jie's comeback on the Chicago official website.
This made the fans very confused. When Chen Jie was injured, the official said that he only needed a week of rest, but now the week is coming soon. Why is there no news yet?
Just as the outside world was consulting the Bulls management and head coach Skiles on this issue, the person involved, Chen Jie, was planning to start his own devil training.
In fact, as early as the game against the Wizards, Chen Jie felt that his slight waist sprain was no longer a serious problem. However, in the fierce game, the Bulls were still a little worried. Chen Jie was their hope in building a team, and they did not want to see it.
Chen Jie has any problems. One game, two games or even one season are not as important as Chen Jie's health in the eyes of the Bulls' management. Therefore, they are not in a hurry to get Chen Jie back, but want him to be completely healthy.
Heal your wounds.
Although a sprain is a minor matter, if you get injured again before you fully recover, it will be more than worth the gain.
How many players have been tortured by waist injuries throughout their careers. The Bulls don't want to see Chen Jie make the same mistake again. In fact, if the wrist was sprained elsewhere, Chen Jie would probably have played the game by now, but the waist is a bit too tight.
Sensitive.
However, just because you can't compete doesn't mean you can't train. After all, training isn't as intense as competing.
After feeling that he was no longer in serious trouble, Chen Jie also officially started his devil training. In order to ensure the effectiveness and intensity of the training, Chen Jie even contacted Dan Fagan and asked him to help him contact a personal trainer.
He also rented a private training gym in Chicago. Both costs were huge, but in order to gain more voice and respect in the league on the court in the future, Chen Jie did not hesitate to pay.
A fanny pack.
About a week later, the trainer arrived, and Chen Jie worked with him to develop a training plan that was described as hell and later almost shocked the league. In the eyes of many people, this training plan was a bit crazy and morbid. For a professional player
Generally speaking, it is all about challenging the limits.
This plan can also be called the "6-6-6" training method. If explained by category, it can be broken down into "6 hours a day, 6 stages each time, 6 days a week."
During the game, Chen Jie will participate in Bulls team training with his teammates. During the summer vacation, when other players are engaged in various leisure activities, Chen Jie will also participate in the "6-6-6" course regardless of rain or shine.
The content of this training plan includes: every day, shooting practice, 300 mid-range shots and 300 three-pointers; 5 sets of sit-ups, 200 times each; 3 sets of barbell curls, 15 times each; 2 sets of barbell bench presses
, 15 times each. Run 20 times back and forth, 20 meters. Four sets of lunges and jerks, 15 times each. Four sets of triceps press, 10 times each. 2 times 800 meters. After fatigue, do 5 more times of 400.
m. 3 groups of calf gastrocnemius training, 12 times each, 10 groups of squats, 2 times each. 4 groups of reflexive abdominal training, 10 times each. 3 groups of rebounding and jump shooting training. Then 10 times of 100-meter running. Immediately afterwards
To make 100 free throws. Four sets of shoulder presses, 8 times each. 5 sets of ligament stretching, 12 times each. 4 sets of machine pull-downs, 10 times each. 4 sets of low rowing exercises, 10 times each.
3 sets of prone leg curls, 10 times each. 3 sets of 17-meter return run.
It was almost a suicidal training, but Chen Jie really persisted. Because he only had one thought in his heart: to make himself stronger, stronger, stronger!
In addition to training, in the evenings, Chen Jie would repeatedly watch game videos to study the characteristics of each player and the team's tactics.
Through this kind of continuous training, Chen Jie's weight increased to 210 pounds by the end of the season. Physical contact on the court was nothing to him. His strength, flexibility, coordination, and speed gradually became more and more stable.
Yu Perfect. When he debuted in the new season with this image, everyone exclaimed that another paranoid training madman was born, and the other one was, of course, Kobe Bryant. Of course, these are all things for later.
In the days when a trainer was not in place, Chen Jie could only sweat alone in the training hall of the United Center. In addition to the dozens of necessary strength exercises every day, Chen Jie also required himself to hit 600 shots every day.
Three-pointers, 600 mid-range shots, and 600 free throws. Skiles was shocked when he saw this almost harsh training method.
Many Bulls teammates shook their heads and lamented, thinking that Chen Jie was just a whim after being stimulated and would not last long.
Duhong even thought he was irritated by O'Neal and kindly came to persuade him.
Chen Jie could only smile bitterly at this. He didn't want to say lofty words to his teammates, but at least he knew in his heart that he would persevere.
After a few days of this, before the game against the Timberwolves, although Chen Jie had not improved significantly, he was at least in good condition and his waist injury felt completely healed.
