() When Sprewell took off to shoot, Chen Jie did not turn around to watch the ball, nor did he think about grabbing the rebound. Chen Jie rushed directly to the center circle from Sprewell.
By the time the ball went into the basket, Chen Jie had already passed half court. Chandler, who was under the basket, sent the baseline ball as quickly as possible without any transition at all, and directly found Chen Jie.
There was no one to defend, and the Timberwolves' basket was completely empty. How could Chen Jie let go of this opportunity?
With a dunk, Chen Jie also scored his first two points after returning from injury.
The head coach of the Timberwolves, who had only heard about the Bulls' quick whirlwind but never actually seen it, murmured at the corner of his mouth, is this it?
Is this the secret weapon that enables the Bulls to win three consecutive victories this season and dominate the league?
So far, teams across the league have not found a good way to crack the Bulls' style of play. Although it cannot be said that the Bulls will win every battle with this tactic, but for teams with average strength,
, it really gave me a headache.
The Timberwolves are also firmly at the forefront of the league's strength rankings, but they are also somewhat wary of the Bulls' move.
Therefore, under Sanders' arrangement, the Timberwolves deliberately slowed down the pace of the game. As a veteran point guard, Cassel did a very good job at this point.
However, he seemed to have forgotten that many people tried to restrict the Bulls in this way in the past, but the results were really not good.
Even if the pace of the game is slowed down so that the players have time to return, Sanders found that even if Cassel, Sprewell or Hassell were not left behind and could return quickly, the Bulls could still easily return.
's score.
Only now did Sanders discover that the most critical factor in why this tactic is so sharp is the Bulls' most shining player this year, the No. 3 overall pick, Jay Sean!
As long as he is not double-teamed or strictly defensive in positional battles, Jay Sean can always find a way to break through to the inside for a layup or dunk. Cassell or Sprewell can keep up with him, but they cannot defend his breakthrough.
Basically it can be said that as long as he is defending alone, Chen Jie can always break through successfully.
Sanders couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was truly worthy of being a player that was so focused on being cultivated by Chicago. His strength should be comparable to that of many first-class stars.
After playing like this for six minutes, although the Timberwolves' offensive success rate was also very high, the Bulls still won by six points, and the score difference was only four points.
At this time, Coach Skiles chose to rotate. Inside Chandler was replaced by Antonio Davis, and outside Luol Dunduhon was also replaced by Griffin and Hinrich. For the Timberwolves, Garnett stayed on the court.
, coupled with starting small forward Hassell on the outside, leading three second team players.
Without the cooperation of Chandler on the inside and Luol Dengduhong on the outside, Chen Jie was unable to fight alone and almost became a whirlwind, and the two teams began to fall into positional battles.
Compared with Chandler, it is even more difficult for Antonio Davis to defend Garnett, but expecting Curry to defend him is a no-brainer.
Garnett continued his crazy performance, scoring 18 points and 10 rebounds before the first half was over. It looked like he was going to have a big double-double today.
For the Bulls, Chen Jie, who had not played in four games, was also full of firepower. Facing the defense of the Timberwolves' substitute shooting guard Hudson, Chen Jie could be said to get what he asked for, and his three-point breakthroughs were fully realized.
Continuously hitting.
When Garnett scored his 20th point, Chen Jie also scored his 13th point. Although not as many as Garnett scored, he did it in one quarter. It seems that compared to
Garnett, his efficiency is higher.
In TNT's live broadcast room, seeing Chen Jie's outstanding performance after his comeback, Barkley couldn't close his mouth with laughter: "I said what I said, I said what I said, this kid will definitely be a superstar in the future, Bulls Dynasty
There is hope for a revival. Haha, I will be his fan from now on. Although Michael gave me very bad memories and I used to hate the Bulls, but because of Jay Sean, maybe I will fall in love with Chicago in the future.
Here’s a team!”
"Why are you so happy so early? It's been smooth sailing for this kid since he entered the league. The Bulls seem to be focusing on training him. It doesn't matter if he scores more when he has the right to fire. Do you think that if you score more, you will be a superstar? It's not easy to score.
Whoever takes more than 30 shots in a game can score at least 30 points!" Smith next to him curled his lips and retorted harshly, although he knew in his heart that Chen Jie scored 13 points in less than ten minutes.
times of shots, for an outside player, his 70% hit rate can be described as unbelievable. Although this is different from his previous shots, which were all unguarded in quick hits.
Basketball has something to do with it, but it can also be seen that Chen Jie's scoring is definitely not based on the number of shots.
Seeing that Smith was still arrogant, Barkley ignored him. Watching Chen Jie once again dribble the ball to the inside to face Garnett and shoot, he said with some pride: "This kid doesn't want to win in a single quarter.
20 points!?”
Looking at the game time with less than 50 seconds left, Smith mocked: "What are you thinking? There are still 50 seconds. The Timberwolves have the ball. He only has 15 points now. I don't believe he can score five points in one attack."
point!"
"How about making a bet?" Barkley glanced at Smith.
When he heard the word "bet", Smith's eyes lit up and he remembered what happened the year before last: "What, you want to kiss the donkey's butt again?"
This can be said to be a problem for Barkley. Hearing Smith mention it again, Barkley was a little annoyed and snorted: "Last time was last time. This time, I bet you that Jay Sean can score 20 points in the first half.
If you can't score, I'll kiss you again, if you score 20 points, you have to kiss me again!"
Smith rolled his eyes and thought that the possibility of Chen Jie winning 20 was very small. He couldn't let go of this good opportunity to humiliate Barkley again. Thinking like this, Smith nodded and said: "Okay, I'll make a bet with you!"
"
Hearing Smith's promise, Barkley showed a smile on his face. Then, he turned his eyes back to the court, looked at Chen Jie, and said in his heart, you must live up to your expectations, you must give me a chance for revenge this time. If you are really single
If you score 20 points in the first quarter, then I will be your fan from now on!
Seeing Barkley's nervous look, Smith smiled inwardly. Even if Jay Sean is a superstar, it's not easy for him to score five points now. Besides, his current strength is at the level of a star at most. What can he do with it?
Create such a miracle!
Turning their eyes back to the field, both of them focused on Chen Jie!
