() Sprewell’s defeat of Piakowsky was something Skiles expected beforehand and it was acceptable, but he didn’t expect that the Bulls were not only defeated on this point, but also on the point guard position.
Hinrich was also completely suppressed by Cassel. This veteran's experience can be said to be beyond Hinrich's. In less than six minutes, Hinrich was fouled twice.
In desperation, Scales had to replace Duhon, but compared to Hinrich, Duhon's organizational ability was inferior, and the Bulls' positional battle that could still be played in a decent manner also came to a standstill.
On the other hand, in the Timberwolves, Garnett didn't care about Chandler's defense in the paint. Chandler, who is now a superstar in the league, is not something Chandler can guard.
Even when Skiles moved Griffin to this position to defend him, he had no scruples and was still determined to break through.
Cause damage.
After the first quarter, the Bulls were already ten points behind.
What's worse is that now they can't find any way to curb this situation. If they fell behind in the first quarter before, they would have fallen behind. They changed to that wave of lineups and rushed forward. But it is obvious that today's Bulls team does not have Chen Jie
, if you want to create a fast break whirlwind, a very important link is missing.
Skiles' hair, which was not much in the first place, was almost gone. In the live broadcast room, Barkley also had a gloomy face, while Smith had a bright smile.
"Well, I said, the Bulls cannot be the opponent of the Minnesotans. They are already ten points behind in the first quarter, and it is obvious that if this continues, the game will become a one-sided massacre!"
Smith said with a smile.
"Hmph, don't say these words too early, Jay Sean hasn't appeared yet!" Barkley was a little unhappy.
"If he can play, will Scales still be anxious now?" The TV broadcast happened to show Scales grabbing his hair and arranging tactics. Smith glanced at it and smiled.
Barkley also knew that what Smith said was true. If Scales had planned to let Chen Jie play in this game, he would have sent him there long ago. There is no way it could be delayed until now. No matter how powerful the secret weapon is, it must be controlled during the game.
Under the situation, now, the game is somewhat out of control. If Chen Jie hadn't come on the court, the Bulls would have been widened, and no one would be able to save it at that time.
But it is obvious from the look of Scales that he has no intention of letting Chen Jie play now. There is only one reason for this. Chen Jie's injury has not healed yet and he cannot play this game.
Seeing that Barkley was silent, Smith became even more excited: "No one inside the Bulls can contain Kevin. Tyson's defense seems to be of no use to Kevin now. The same goes for the outside point guard position."
With all the advantages, Cassell can be said to be getting stronger. Of course, these were all expected before the game, but now, with a strong point in the scoring position, Sprewell can't deal with even Jay Sean.
Not to mention everyone else!”
"Tch, you clearly know that Jay Sean can't play, otherwise, even if he couldn't guard Sprewell, you wouldn't let him be so arrogant?" Barkley snorted coldly.
"Haha, you also know that Jay Sean can't play, so what hope is there!" Seeing Barkley fall into the trap, Smith laughed.
"You!" Barkley then realized that Smith wanted him to say that Chen Jie could not play, and his expression froze.
Smith smiled slightly and ignored him.
There were many people at the scene who had the same idea as Barkley. Although Chen Jie is not a superstar, looking at the Bulls' bench now, he is the only one who has hope of saving the team.
But Scales didn't call him at all, he just arranged the tactics there. Seeing that the second quarter was about to begin, Scales had no intention of substituting. Could it be that Jay Sean really couldn't play? Then
Isn't this game over?
Everyone, including the red-haired Karl, had such an idea in their minds.
Just when they didn't have much hope for this match, the figure that attracted everyone's attention suddenly started fighting at this moment.
Every move he makes is attracting the attention of countless people at this moment. Because now, he is regarded as the only person in the Bulls who can save the team.
Seeing him standing up and walking towards Scales, everyone was shocked and then surprised. Is he going to take the initiative to challenge?
In the live broadcast room, seeing the figure standing up, Smith frowned slightly: "What is Jay Sean going to do? Scales doesn't ask him to play because he is not injured yet."
Okay, is he still planning to ask for it? Is this game that important?"
But Barkley looked excited and said excitedly: "Jay Sean is a fighter, a fighter like Allen. For such a person, he cannot give up every game, even if he is injured.
Anyway, fighting with injuries is the fate of a soldier!"
But Smith shook his head: "If it is injured, if it aggravates the injury, then the gain will outweigh the loss!"
"Wait until you see your Sprewell get fucked!" Barkley yelled.
Smith didn't care at all and muttered: "I was already injured, but I still insisted on playing. My strength will be greatly reduced. It may not be effective, but may make the injury worse. Jay Sean is too impulsive.
!”
Skiles frowned slightly when he saw Chen Jie coming over.
The management has explained that Chen Jie still has to rest in this game and wait until he is fully recovered before letting him play. Therefore, although the game situation is so behind, Skiles still has not thought about replacing Chen Jie.
But I didn't expect that he would take the initiative to come over now.
Before Skiles could speak, Chen Jie walked up to him, looked around at several teammates, and then said firmly: "Coach, let me play!"
He really couldn't stand it anymore. He really didn't like the feeling of watching the team fall behind but not being able to help at all. Those injuries, he thought, were all healed!
Hearing Chen Jie's words, he was really asking for a fight, and Scales hesitated a little.
All the teammates are either happy or worried. The happy thing is that although Sprewell may not be able to be completely suppressed, at least Chen Jie will not be beaten like Griffin and others. The worry is naturally that he has a waist injury.
.
As if he knew what the coach and teammates were thinking, Chen Jie smiled and said: "My injuries are all healed! There will be no consequences in this game!"
Then, when Skiles had not yet made a decision, Chen Jie added: "If there is a problem, I will bear it alone. The management will not question you as coach. Now, please let me play. Don't let Minnesotans just play."
Captured the United Center so easily!"
Glancing at the Timberwolves bench, Chen Jie's eyes were extremely firm!
Although I don’t know what Chen Jie and Skiles said, almost all fans know that it is Skiles who has the final say whether to play or not. Therefore, after Chen Jie’s words came to light, all the fans’ eyes were filled with confusion.
Locked in on Scales.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, Scales finally pursed his lips and nodded. He believed that Chen Jie would not make fun of his career!
