() A substitute player of the San Antonio Spurs actually won the attention of the home team fans in an away game. This thing seems really incredible.
And the reason is just because this player is a friend of a certain player of the home team. This is interesting. It is obvious that this player of the home team, at least for now, has unparalleled popularity and enviable favor in this city.
And this man is not Allen Iverson of Philadelphia, Kobe Bryant of Los Angeles, or the little emperor of Cleveland... but Jay Sean of Chicago!
This must be another thing that all players and teams in the league will sigh for a long time.
Of course, in addition to Chen Jie's face, this is also related to Xiao Hei's somewhat honest appearance and simple and unassuming autumn style. It is also related to his identity. It is also related to the current good situation of the Bulls.
If Blackie roars after dunking, if he is the main force of the away team and smites the Bulls with a sword, if the Bulls are far behind now, he is a friend of the mayor of Chicago and the fans will definitely not show any shame.
Of course, there are many reasons, but they are enough to show the love that Chicago fans now have for Chen Jie and Chen Jie's good popularity in the team.
Hearing the cheers from all over the field, Xiao Hei looked down the field in surprise and saw Chen Jie looking at him with a smile. He nodded silently, knowing why in his heart.
Xiao Hei, who had never received such treatment at the SA Arena in San Antonio, was the first time in his career to be the protagonist. Of course, he had to thank Chen Jie. But he also silently vowed in his heart that he must work hard. In the future,
Relying on his reputation, he will have all the fans cheering. At least, he cannot embarrass his brother!
Chen Jie was also very moved in his heart. He was very lucky that he had just made his debut in the league and met such a group of good teammates and such a group of good fans.
I think of the many superstars who were criticized by fans even though they performed well, and the many stars who had conflicts with their teammates and ruined their careers (I won’t name these two. Everyone knows it. I am afraid of being scolded by their fans)
, Chen Jie was very grateful at this moment.
For the first time, he had the idea of ending up in Chicago.
This is only his sixth game playing for Chicago.
But sometimes, a thought of fate really lasts a lifetime.
As long as Chicago lives up to me, I am willing to be Kobe, Duncan, Stockton, and Maldini in basketball.
Chen Jie said silently in his heart.
It seems that Xiao Hei is more energetic than usual when playing at home. Xiao Hei, who has never experienced the feeling of being cheered since leaving Duke, is basically working hard on the court now.
In four and a half minutes, Xiao Hei grabbed four rebounds, blocked a shot and scored four points. This performance was noticed by **Vicci off the court.
It seems that this player is not without merit, he just lacks opportunities, lacks training, and lacks motivation. **Vicci secretly kept these in mind.
At the end of halftime, the Bulls led by three points, 51 to 48.
Charles Barkley looked at the data and couldn't help the smile on his face: "Kenny, Kenny, look, Jay didn't attack much in the first quarter. He only played eight minutes in the second quarter. Now he has 14 points. In the second half,
There is still suspense in the game, Jie will definitely have to perform, thirty points, haha, it’s easy to catch it!”
Smith rolled his eyes at him, and now he even hoped that the game would enter garbage time earlier, so that Chen Jie wouldn't have to play too long.
Just looking at the situation, this is somewhat unlikely. The Spurs cannot be suddenly opened up by the Bulls, and the Bulls are not easy to slaughter. Looking at the lineup, the Spurs and Bulls may be very different, but if they really fight
, under the Bulls' tactics, many of the Spurs' advantages really cannot be used.
For example, in the fast break, the fast break score of the two teams in the first half was 28 to 2, an astonishing disparity! This is incredible for the Spurs with Parker and Ginobili.
Obviously, **Vicci was also a little afraid of the Bulls' speed and did not dare to compete with them.
The strict defense against Chen Jie that O'Neal mentioned originally was also because the Bulls' tactics did not work.
It’s really only fast that won’t break. Smith sighed in his heart.
Now, what he is most looking forward to is actually how Vicki breaks the Bulls' tactics in the second half.
The two joked again, and the second half of the game began.
The Bulls did not continue the starting lineup from the first half. Skiles made a bold change and directly sent Luol and Dunduhon. Probably because he also thought that the Spurs were more difficult to deal with than their previous opponents, so he made a conscious decision.
Let this fast-break lineup play more time.
As for the Spurs, they still have Duncan Parker, Ginobili Bowen and Nesterovich, without any changes.
The Bulls had just sent the baseline ball to Duhon, and when they were still in their own backcourt, Parker came up to defend. It seemed that he wanted to increase the intensity of the defense from the beginning and press directly.
Kenny Smith in the live broadcast room saw this scene and said: "Is this the way to crack the secret?"
Barkley shook his head: "A full-court press is useless against a quick whirlwind? I feel that a quick whirlwind is a good way to break the full-court press. **What do you think?"
Smith shook his head. He couldn't tell, so he could only say: "Let's take a look!"
Under Parker's pressure, Du Hong had a hard time dribbling the ball through half-time. His speed was no advantage compared to Parker's, and his strength was about the same. Therefore, as soon as the half-time was over, Chen Jie came up to take over, and Bao
Wen was also in constant physical contact with Chen Jie, constantly interfering with Chen Jie's passing.
The Spurs' sudden defensive intensity made the Bulls really uncomfortable. They finally caught the ball, and there were only 15 seconds left in the attack time. Moreover, Chen Jie's steps were still a bit staggering.
At this time, he was still some distance away from the three-point line. After getting the ball, he took a few steps to stabilize his center of gravity. However, he still failed to break through Bowen's defense, and several other teammates were also caught in the Spurs' tight defense.
.
Chandler saw that time was running out and it was impossible to pass the ball to the inside for singles as Scales asked, so he quickly came up and set up a pick-and-roll.
After the pick-and-roll, Chen Jie faced Nesterovich and directly took off to shoot. Nesterovich's reaction was not too slow. He immediately stood up and blocked the shot, almost touching the basketball within a centimeter.
Bang!
The sound of a basketball hitting the rim, the ball didn't go in, Duncan grabbed the rebound.
This time on defense, the Spurs succeeded.
However, insiders including Barkley Smith all know that this is just because the Bulls are not prepared, and this ball cannot be used as a fast break. Whether the full-court press can be effective later is a big question.
