Chapter 131 51 points in a single game shocked the league!
() For super scorers like Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, and Tracy McGrady, scoring 20 points in a single quarter is considered an outstanding performance. What’s more, doing
All this is happening to a rookie who has only just entered the league and played his fifth official game.
There is no doubt that Chen Jie created another miracle in his first game back from injury.
When the Bulls were lagging behind before, the fans were expecting Chen Jie to play, and some were mocking them for only counting on a rookie. Now they can shut up. Of course, this includes TNT's ace commentator Kenny Smith.
During the intermission commentary time, the commentator, who had always been calm, turned out to have a dull look on his face, as if he had not recovered from the shock just now. He muttered at the corner of his mouth and kept repeating four words.
"How is that possible?..."
Charles Barkley next to him was so happy when he saw him like this, because after the Yao Ming incident fell into his hands once, Barkley had been obsessed with revenge. Now, he finally got his wish. Of course, he also
He has not forgotten the key figure who can give him revenge, the third overall pick selected by the Bulls this year, Chen Jie.
In return, Barkley feels like he is now a die-hard fan of Chen Jie.
Seeing that Smith seemed to have no intention of speaking, Barkley faced the TV camera and began to talk.
"This year's Timberwolves have the potential to compete for the championship. There is no doubt that they played to their level in the first quarter. But let's see, hey, the Timberwolves are only leading by one point now? Why is this? Okay,
We have to admit that this is not the work of the Bulls, but that Jay Sean did it alone. 20 points in a single quarter, my God, I remember I never did it when I was in the NBA. Just ask the current league, there are
Several players dare to say that he can score 20 points in a single quarter. But Jay Sean did it all quietly. I think, although the season has only been played for two weeks, he is the choice for the best rookie.
, there is no suspense anymore? Jay Sean’s strength is obviously a level higher than this one. He no longer needs to compete with these newcomers, he can see further. Of course, I now
I really want to ask the management of the Magic and Bobcats a question: when you drafted, what did you think of leaving Jay Sean to the Chicagoans?"
Obviously, Barkley is once again building momentum for Chen Jie. The birth of a superstar not only requires outstanding performance on the court, but also requires the recognition of media and public opinion and the support of fans. Although Chen Jie's previous performance was very good, everyone is used to it.
Xing still regards him as a rookie, but with Barkley's words, when everyone evaluates Chen Jie in the future, they will probably compare him to figures like Kobe Bryant and McGrady Nash.
This can be said to be Chen Jie's first step towards becoming a superstar. After the influential TNT commentator Barkley said this, his first step was very easy.
Compared with other rookies who almost need a season of continuous outstanding performance before they can be compared with the league's superstars, Chen Jie is undoubtedly very lucky.
Of course, 20 points in a single quarter may only be one time, but this performance has already made Chen Jie qualified enough to be proud.
And he didn't realize until he returned to the locker room that he had scored so many points without knowing it.
In this game, which is not considered a complete one, do you want to create the highest score in your career?
Chen Jie remembers that during the three-game winning streak, he never scored 30 points at most.
So far, the highest score I have ever scored was 27 points when I faced the Wizards for the first time.
Accepting the congratulations from his teammates, Chen Jie also had some expectations in his heart. In the second half, he tried to score as many points as possible to see how high he could get.
Of course, all this is on the premise of ensuring that the team can win.
With this idea, Chen Jie did not slack off at all in the second half of the game. Because he did not play in the first quarter and had been resting for so many days without playing, Chen Jie did not feel tired at all and maintained full attendance for the entire 24 minutes of the second half!
Fast break dunks, three-pointers, breakthroughs and fouls, Chen Jie scored almost everything, and ultimately led the Bulls to a 120-103 victory over the Timberwolves.
Although Garnett, the wolf king, scored 40 points and 18 rebounds, he could not make a living alone. Sprewell was caught in a dispute with Chen Jie. He only played singles when he got the ball, but the success rate was not high. And Cassell was even more outstanding.
Hard work. The Wolf King's roar at the critical moment of the game sounded so lonely and desolate to Chen Jie.
As for the Bulls, Chen Jie, who scored 20 points in the second quarter, finally set a new career high, shooting 17 of 24 from the field, 7 of 8 three-pointers, and all 10 free throws, 51.
His performance of 10 rebounds and 6 assists made him the most dazzling star of the United Center tonight. His 51 points is the highest score by a player in a single game so far this season. No one thought before that this was actually created by a rookie.
of.
Likewise, 51 points ranks among the top five in the list of highest points scored in a single game by a rookie, tied with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and only 7 points away from No. 1 coach Wilt Chamberlain's 58 points.
gap. However, don't forget that this is only Chen Jie's fifth appearance of the season, and he still has many opportunities to refresh this score.
The score of 51 points also broke the highest score in a single game by a rookie in Bulls history held by basketball god Michael Jordan.
Suddenly, the entire alliance was shaken.
In an interview with the media, Skiles said that this was the craziest performance by a rookie he had ever seen in his life.
And Timberwolves head coach Saunders even smiled bitterly and said, "We have tried many ways to stop him, but tonight he was unstoppable!"
Garnett, the star of the Timberwolves, couldn't help but shake his head and said bluntly that this was an exhibition game, an exhibition game that belonged to Jay Sean.
When someone asked Michael Jordan how he felt after his record was broken, Jordan smiled slightly and said, I look forward to him breaking more of my records.
Chen Jie, who has been immersed in football for a long time since the United Center brawl, has once again become the talk of the league.
Many superstars, including Kobe McGrady, expressed their desire to play against this rookie.
Almost every basketball newspaper picked the same headline the next day.
Scored 51 points in three quarters, the NBA rookie shocked the league!
When the media interviewed the person involved, Chen Jie, he just said that he was young and mature. I never thought I would score so many points. I just came here, integrated into the team, and kept learning.
There is no doubt that the last war of words made him grow a lot. Now, in front of the media, he is no longer as excited as he was a week ago.
