() Xiao Hei’s current situation is certainly not something that Chen Jie can change with just one or two sentences.
In fact, there are not many rookies like Chen Jie who receive great attention as soon as they enter the team and get a lot of playing time. Most of them start from the bench step by step like Xiao Hei.
What's more, a championship-level team like the Spurs cannot give rookies like Xiao Hei too many opportunities.
But Chen Jie still thinks that Xiao Hei has a chance. He is not the kind of player who can become a superstar, but he can definitely become the main player of a team.
Of course, he didn't expect his words to change Xiao Hei's situation. He just pointed out a direction for Xiao Hei. More importantly, Xiao Hei still needed to work hard on his own.
Of course, he also believed in his brother.
Chen Jie, who felt that what Xiao Hei needed now was confidence in himself, encouraged him for a long time before breaking up with him.
Chen Jie doesn't know how Xiao Hei will perform with Chen Jie's encouragement. He remembers that the name Xiao Hei did not appear in the NBA in his previous life. Lillard Brown was just a player who was not selected in the NBA draft.
Then he switched to playing street players in the black community. But in this world, Chen Jie is confident that he can make his name in the NBA!
After sending Xiao Hei away, Chen Jie went home. The game against the Spurs was a tough battle, and Chen Jie needed plenty of rest before the game.
At 7:30 pm on November 23, 2004 local time in the United States, the Chicago Bulls' home game against the San Antonio Spurs officially started at the United Center in Chicago.
In the preparation meeting before the game, Skiers specifically emphasized the double attack on Duncan and the key defense of Ginobili and Parker from the outside. There is no doubt that GDP is definitely one of the best combinations in the current league.
, any team will not take it lightly when facing the three of them.
Skiles also specifically told Chen Jie to pay attention to Bruce Bowen. Although he started out as a defensive player, he is particularly accurate in three-pointers from both sides of the baseline.
Chen Jie naturally knows this. In fact, he started studying Bruce Bowen after he played against the Timberwolves. In this game, he was very sure that the defensive player he faced must be the defensive player who had never won the best defensive player.
The uncrowned king.
His candy-like defense once caused headaches for many league superstars.
His dirty little tricks and constant mischief made people who didn't like him label him as despicable.
However, despite this, Chen Jie will not deny that Bowen is one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA today.
He relies on his full concentration on defense, tough personal interference, and tremendous pressure on players holding the ball and receiving the ball.
Chen Jie knew that this game would be a huge test for him.
Because Chen Jie has become the focus of the league after scoring 51 points in the last game, tnt, which had not originally planned to broadcast this game, temporarily changed its live broadcast plan before the game and broadcast this game that attracted the attention of the entire league.
As the players went through shooting drills and warmed up, the old pairing of Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley started commenting again.
On the second day of the Bulls' game against the Timberwolves, Kenny Smith fulfilled his bet and did the same thing as Barkley in the TNT live broadcast room, kissing the donkey's butt.
Barkley, who has regained his former glory, has been smiling in the past few days, and this moment is no exception. Looking at the shooting practice on the field, Barkley smiled and said: "I really look forward to the meeting between these two teams. I
For the first time, I feel that people in the league are not all idiots. At least the person who arranged such a schedule is a genius. Well, Tony and Manu's fast break against the Bulls' rookie trident, this game is very interesting.
ah!"
Smith looked at his triumphant look, curled his lips, and said: "I think you should pay more attention to whether your idol Jay Sean can face Bruce Bowen easily. Didn't Shaq say that Jay Sean has never faced him before?
He is a good defensive player, so he plays so well. In fact, I think there is some truth to this sentence."
"Bruce Bowen? He wants to guard Jay Shawn? Don't be kidding, Jay Shawn is unstoppable. Kenny, have you forgotten why you kissed the donkey's butt?" Barkley seized the opportunity and said again
Once he talked about this incident that had humiliated Kenny for the past few days.
"Humph, the last game has passed. We can't use past results to judge. Besides, Sprewell's defense is basically like a vacuum. Bruce Bowen is not like that. If your idol can still play this game
Get high scores, and I will never doubt his strength again!" Kenny Smith snorted coldly.
"Oh, really? You want to steal my idol? Well, what do you think is a high score?" Buckley asked.
"30 points, as long as Jay can score 30 points, I will recognize his strength!" Smith held out three fingers!
"30 points?" Barkley exclaimed. He also knew that the Spurs would probably focus on guarding Chen Jie in this game, and Bruce Bowen would definitely be as stubborn as brown sugar, scoring 30 points in the face of such a defense.
, let alone Chen Jie, even Kobe and others dare not say that they will definitely do it!
"Why, do you think it's too much?" Smith sneered.
"Humph, just watch. Jay is unstoppable, isn't it just thirty points? I believe in him!" Barkley felt that he could not lose even if he lost, so he still said adamantly!
"Well, it's settled. If he scores thirty points, after this game, I will never doubt his strength again! I will support him in all his games from now on!" Smith said lightly,
There was some disdain in his words. It would be great if he could score 20 points. If he wanted to score 30 points, he really thought he was a superstar in the league!
While the two were talking, players from both sides had already started to take the field.
The lights went out and on again, and five players wearing red jerseys and five players wearing white jerseys gathered in the center circle.
The Bulls' starting lineup remains unchanged, with Hinrich, Chen Jie, Griffin, Curry and Chandler.
As for the Spurs, it's just like the previous airport game, with Nesterovich, Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, and Bruce Bowen.
At this time in 2004, Ginobili had not yet been arranged to become a super sixth man by Dovich, so he also had a place in the starting lineup.
Looking at the five people opposite, Chen Jie looked serious. He knew that today's game would be much more difficult than the last time the Timberwolves played. The Spurs have always been a very stable championship-level team.
Even as people like Duncan get older, no one dares to ignore their strength!
