() Chen Jie on the court naturally didn't know that Barkley and Smith had already made a bet about his scoring in the TNT live broadcast room.
If he had known about it, given his character, he would probably have cursed him loudly.
O. Barkley, do you really think I am a god? Five points in fifty seconds. This is not the critical moment of the final game, when you need to grab points!
The Bulls have stabilized the situation on the court now. Although they are still lagging behind, they are only behind by two points. If this situation continues, the Bulls will still have a great chance in the second half. Don't say that Chen Jie doesn't know what's going on in the live broadcast room
Even if you know about gambling, there is no need to risk your life for five points.
Smith was already laughing in his heart. It looked like he could humiliate Barkley again. Although the two were partners, they were used to mocking each other, and Smith really didn't want to let this opportunity go.
Barkley, on the other hand, just stared at Chen Jie, hoping that he could live up to his expectations. At this moment, he wished he could go on the field and finish the fifty seconds in Chen Jie's place.
In fifty seconds, if controlled well, the Timberwolves can attack twice.
As soon as the half was over, Cassel, who had already finished the rotation and was replaced again, directly chose to break through Hinrich without waiting for his teammates to come up for a pick-and-roll.
Facing Hinrich, Cassel's advantage lies in strength and experience, not speed. Therefore, Hinrich, who had long expected that the Timberwolves would launch a fast attack, was fully focused and was not thrown away by Cassel.
Seeing that Hinrich's defense was very good, Cassel did not hesitate to retreat, but pushed Hinrich with the ball and rushed inside.
Is he crazy? Can't he play alone? There is no vacuum inside the Bulls! Hinrich wondered in his heart while guarding Cassel.
Cassel finally pushed Hinrich to the inside. Chandler hesitated and chose to double-team, and his offensive line was completely blocked. But at this time, Cassel suddenly made a sudden move.
Stop, a behind-the-back pass to Garnett!
Garnett quickly retreated to the free throw line when he saw Chandler thinking about covering up the defense. After receiving the ball, there was no defensive player within one meter of him.
The one closest to him was Hinrich who did not lose his defensive position but deliberately gave up a step when he saw Chandler coming to cover.
It turned out that he was not trying to break through but had already designed the ball to be completed by Garnett. Hinrich was shocked when he saw Cassel passing the ball, and quickly defended to Garnett's side.
This is actually a misplaced single.
Cassell's breakthrough was not to score, but to attract a double attack from inside, and then pass the ball to Garnett. He believed that Garnett would have a way to face Hinrich.
Garnett is not a big man who only plays singles in the paint, he also has mid-range shots.
Sure enough, when he saw Hinrich defending in front of him, Garnett didn't think about it at all. There was no way for a big man to fight a small man and a big man without shooting ability. But this problem was a big one for Garnett.
Doesn't exist.
He jumped up and shot, and Hinrich couldn't affect him at all.
The basketball crossed the arc and got into the basket.
Garnett clenched his fist and was very satisfied with his shot.
This attack only took ten seconds. There are still forty seconds left in the game. Even if the Bulls play for a full twenty-four seconds, the Timberwolves still have another chance to attack!
Hinrich clapped his hands depressedly, but he still lost because of Cassel's experience. With his breakthrough energy, everyone thought he was going for a layup. How could they have expected that he was just trying to pull it to Garnett?
Mid-range shots create opportunities!
After the Bulls fell into position, Hinrich handed the ball to Curry inside.
In a positional battle, the only person who can inflict damage to the opponent is Chen Jie, who can break through, and Curry, who plays in a post-up game. Chen Jie is now being closely guarded by Sprewell, and it seems that the madman is also thinking about it.
A little angry, Chen Jie was not given a chance to connect the ball. Hinrich's only choice was Curry.
Seeing Curry catch the ball, Smith laughed in the live broadcast room and said: "Charles, it's time to admit defeat this time. Jay Sean has no intention of attacking at all. Look at him, he is just opening up space for Curry. It seems that the madman is too
I'm so anxious, the defense is so fierce!"
"Hmph!" Barkley only gave this one-word comment on Smith's words.
However, his heart also felt a little cold.
Curry is notorious for not passing the ball. This offensive opportunity was wasted, and the Bulls had no time.
Hey, it looks like I really lost this bet.
Who would have thought that Chen Jie, who was still asking for the ball in isolation even under Sprewell's fierce defense, would now give his teammates a chance.
Didn’t some comments say that he is also very unique in playing basketball? It’s true!
Buckley muttered in his mind.
Under Garnett's defense, Curry, who had been sticking his butt out for a long time, finally found an opportunity to take action. A small hook shot that he turned around hit the neck of the basket and bounced up.
Just when everyone thought Garnett collected the rebound and the Timberwolves' final attack was over, suddenly a red figure rushed to the inside!
Seeing that person's jersey number, the smile on Smith's face froze instantly!
No. 1! Chen Jie!
He actually grabbed the rebound in front of Garnett!
"**, isn't it? Sprewell doesn't block people?" Smith was so anxious that he swore!
Barkley smiled slightly and explained: "Previously, Jay Sean would quickly return to defense without even looking at the offensive rebounds. Sprewell must have thought it would be the same this time, so he relaxed! Wow, it's so bouncy.
.Can actually jump higher than Garnett."
In fact, he was a bit exaggerated. Compared with Garnett, Chen Jie's jumping height is still somewhat behind him. He was able to grab this rebound thanks to Sprewell.
In fact, Chen Jie never thought about fighting for this ball. The Bulls are in a good situation now. After the first half, the chance of the second half is quite good. However, when he wanted to retreat from the backcourt, he found that Sprewell was better than him.
Retreat faster.
In a flash of thought, Chen Jie decided to give it a try. If he didn't, it would be a waste.
After rushing in, it seemed that Garnett did not expect that his teammates did not block the opponent and did not jump hard. Chen Jie easily grabbed the rebound. He made a tip-in and scored two more points.
"Man, two points again!" Barkley laughed.
"Humph, so what, look at the time, there are only twenty seconds left. I don't believe he can score three points!" Smith snorted coldly.
"Then just watch, I have confidence in him!" Barkley smiled.
Smith sneered and didn't answer. If he scored 20 points in a single quarter, it would be a small miracle. I really don't believe it!
