() Returning to the locker room after halftime, Chen Jie was still a little listless. He didn't seem to hear what Scales was saying.
It was Jessica's first time to encounter a scandal, and it was also Chen Jie's first time. Moreover, unlike Jessica, Chen Jie had never seen such a thing around him before.
Although he could calmly comfort Jessica beforehand, saying that it would be fine if he refused to admit it, no matter what the media said. But when the scandal intensified and almost spread across the United States, Chen Jie realized that he couldn't care less.
.
He did not expect that on this day, the overwhelming phone interviews and the news he saw on the Internet were all about him and Jessica. Many sports media even stopped reporting on the game to report on the scandal.
Why can't he focus on the court? Chen Jie is very puzzled. If the media pays so much attention to his performance on the court, he will be very happy. Even if he can't rest due to phone calls one after another, he will be happy.
Talk about it.
He is a player, first of all, a player, not a star. Therefore, Chen Jie does not think that his off-field life needs such high attention from the media!
It was difficult for him to understand the thinking of these media outlets.
What kind of third party intervened to win the beauty? These arguments made Chen Jie want to kill someone!
Originally, he and Jessica had nothing, not even friends, but now they have to bear such pressure. Moreover, in Chen Jie's view, even if he and Jessica are really together, the media does not have to
So? After all, shouldn’t love be just a matter of two people?
When Chen Jie thought of this, he felt filled with annoyance and even wanted to yell to vent his anger.
Skiles, who was talking about the tactics for the second half in the locker room, saw Chen Jie like this and knew that he must not have heard what he said.
Skiles sighed in his heart. A player's off-field life is not something that a coach can control. At most, Skiles could only give a circumstantial reminder about Chen Jie and Jessica. But in Skye
According to Charles, as a player who is destined to become a superstar, such things will definitely happen to him in the future.
There is a first time, and there will be a second time, and a third time... This first hurdle still needs to be passed by himself.
After thinking about it, Skiles walked up to Chen Jie and did not embarrass him in public. Instead, he whispered: "Can't you think about those things after the game? Now, you are a professional player.
What you have to do is to play your own game well. In the first half, I was very dissatisfied with your performance. Your mind was not on basketball at all. But, will this solve the problem? Those media will only say that you can’t even do this.
You can’t stand any pressure and you lose your mind, and I will definitely not pity you for giving up! Think about it carefully, the worse you are at playing, the more news will be about you!"
This was the first time Skiles criticized Chen Jie after he joined the Bulls. However, he was not dissatisfied with Chen Jie. He mainly wanted to use this kind of slap to wake up Chen Jie.
Chen Jie also heard what Scales said and nodded. As for whether he accepted it or not, whether he understood it or not, Scales didn't know.
After a pause, Skiles sighed and left a sentence: "Study Kobe Bryant!"
After saying this, Scales walked away, leaving Chen Jie alone to think.
But Chen Jie's eyes lit up when he heard the words of "Scientific Kobe Bryant".
He knew that Scales was talking about the myth about Kobe Bryant's rush to the scene after the Eagle County rape case in 2002.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Skiles hesitated for a long time and sent Chen Jie to start the second half. He didn't know if Chen Jie had figured it out, but he wanted to give Chen Jie a chance. Because Chen Jie is the future of the Bulls.
At this time, Skiles still didn't know that what he originally said to persuade Chen Jie not to care too much about what the news said would create a superstar who would be so eccentric in the future.
After Jessica Alba's incident, Skiles finally slowly discovered that Chen Jie, who used to be very kind and cooperative with the media, was gone!
In the second half of the game against the 76ers, Chen Jie's self-redemption also began.
Chen Jie, who only scored two points in the first half, came out full force in the third quarter, scoring 20 points with sudden shots, leading the Bulls to erase a 14-point deficit in one quarter and reach the fourth quarter.
At the end of the quarter, the Bulls were only ten points behind, and the suspense of the game returned once again.
After the end of the third quarter, Chen Jie did not rest and continued to lead all the Bulls teammates to fight on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
In the TNT live broadcast room, Barkley and Smith exclaimed that Chen Jie was back.
The 76ers also became nervous.
Allen Iverson, who was already preparing to take a rest, once again went into battle. Facing Chen Jie's crazy scoring, Iverson responded.
However, this was not enough for the 76ers to stabilize the situation, because after Chen Jie's recovery, the entire Bulls team seemed to come back to life.
With one minute left in the fourth quarter, the Bulls were within two points.
The balance of victory and defeat in the game has shifted.
The atmosphere in the Valgioa Center was a little suffocating. Many 76ers fans couldn't believe what they were seeing. Could a 24-point reversal be happening before their eyes?
They work hard to cheer for their beloved team and don't want to see their team be nailed to the pillar of shame and become a supporting role.
The 76ers' key attack brought all the fans to their feet.
If this attack misses, it will leave the Bulls with a chance to win. In Chen Jie's current state, no one can stop him. The 76ers don't want to leave their fate in Chen Jie's hands.
Decide.
Allen Iverson dribbled the ball from the outside and controlled the tempo of the game, keeping his eyes on the timer.
There are still 16 seconds left before the end of the game, and there are still 14 seconds left in the attack time. Iverson's experience tells him that even if he does not score, the ball must be delayed until the end before taking action. Chen Jie must not be given too much time!
When the game was about to end with 4 seconds left, Iverson broke through Hinrich and rushed to the inside. He threw his body into the air through Chandler's block. With a flick of his wrist, the basketball was drawn.
After passing Chandler's fingertips, Iverson's body fell heavily to the floor.
The ball goes in!
The cheers of the fans in the audience sounded like thunder!
Iverson clenched his fist, knowing that he had already pocketed this victory!
In the end, although Chen Jie hit another three-pointer, he failed to lead the Bulls to a comeback and lost by one point. The Bulls' winning streak ended.
However, no one criticized Chen Jie's performance anymore, because his crazy performance in the second half could completely offset the abnormality in the first half.
He accomplished this self-salvation very beautifully!
