(The second update is here, please collect it and recommend it. The protagonist’s current strength is stronger than those of James Anthony Wade who are still in his rookie period, because he has been through two lives and is more mature. But these are the main points for his future.
Opponents. Now, Kobe, Duncan, Garnett, Iverson and others can be regarded as the protagonist’s opponents.)
A Luer Deng counterattack made James unable to cope with it, not to mention the addition of Chen Jie, who was already no weaker than James.
His appearance completely changed the situation.
Originally, during this quarter and a half, the Cavaliers had been suppressing the Bulls, and James' breakthrough was invincible.
But in the second half of the first quarter, Luol Deng found a way to defend James under Chen Jie's reminder, or in other words, found a way to curb James' breakthrough. Although this method seemed a bit like drinking poison to quench thirst, it completely let James shoot.
But at least, it had some effect. But at that time, the Cavaliers were still going smoothly.
But immediately, in the first half of the second quarter, Luer Deng made a small counterattack and directly tied the score. During this period, it can be said that the Cavaliers and Bulls were indistinguishable.
Then, Chen Jie came on stage and the turning point came.
Luer Deng handed over the dominance of the offense and focused entirely on defending James. The confidence he already played and the appropriate strategy completely blocked James outside the Bulls' three-second zone.
On the offensive end, Chen Jie's strength is even better than Luer and Deng.
James couldn't open the door, but Chen Jie was still killing everyone.
Although Gibson was a rookie in 2003 and had one more year of playing experience than Chen Jie, in front of Chen Jie, he was really like a child. Not only was he completely guarded by Chen Jie, but his three-point shooting characteristics
He couldn't perform well, and on the defensive end, he couldn't restrain Chen Jie at all. He broke through and hit three-pointers, and Chen Jie got whatever he wanted.
James looked resentful, but there was nothing he could do. Should he hire someone to defend Chen Jie? Let’s not talk about whether he could guard him. Even if he could guard him, the Cavaliers’ defensive formation was completely misaligned.
.
If Chen Jie sacrifices himself in exchange for more flowers for the Bulls, the Bulls will make a profit.
James is not stupid. However, the result of not being stupid is that he watched Chen Jie dunk in front of thousands of fans at the United Center, but he could only barely attempt a mid-range shot.
Bullying. You know I'm good at breakthroughs, but you still let me shoot. It's really bullying.
For the first time, James has the intention to practice shooting hard. One trick has been used all over the world, but it seems that it is not applicable at all times!
With the obvious shortcoming of unstable shooting, the opponent can easily find ways to defend itself.
This time, Chen Jie discovered it and took advantage of it. There is no guarantee that other teams will not discover it in the future.
Or, maybe other teams also discovered the shortcoming of their poor shooting last season, and because after all, their shooting percentage is 30%, which is also lethal, they don't dare to gamble on their own shooting.
.However, if someone eats crabs for the first time, there will be a second one.
Today, the Bulls used this gambling method to deal with themselves. In the future, there is no guarantee that teams with super scorers such as the Lakers and Rockets will not.
Chen Jie didn't know yet that the all-or-nothing defensive strategy he arranged for Luer Deng actually forced this future superstar to mature in advance.
The game that followed in the second quarter could be described as overwhelming.
Although the Cavaliers saw that the situation was not going well, they immediately replaced Gibson, who was already stunned, and replaced him with starting shooting guard Pavlovic. But Pavlovic was no match for Chen Jie.
When he came up, he was also destined to be tortured.
With sudden shots, Chen Jie scored ten points in just six minutes.
And Luer Deng, although most of his energy is focused on defense, he can still contribute a few three-pointers on the offensive end.
Especially with one minute and thirty seconds left in the second quarter, Chen Jie got the ball from the outside. Luer Deng used his talent to find defensive loopholes and drove straight to the basket. Chen Jie had quick eyes and quick hands and passed the ball high.
In the past, Luer Deng directly caught the ball and dunked with both hands.
A smooth alley-oop.
In this attack, Smith, a commentator who has always disliked Chen Jie, blurted out his praise for the good shot.
Obviously, the aerial connection between Luer Deng and Chen Jie has reserved a place in today's top five goals.
Of course, James is not sitting still.
With one minute left in the second quarter, James broke through the paint, almost jumped up like Luer Deng's body, and slammed the ball into the basket.
The referee's whistle also sounded in time, and the penalty was added.
After landing, James's roaring voice was very clear, and it was not covered up even under the boos of the United Center fans.
The little emperor is really frustrated.
In the first quarter, he broke through like a sword. In the second quarter, except for this dunk, he only made three breakthroughs. Luer Deng just stepped back and let him shoot. What could he do?
And, to make matters worse, in the second quarter, James also lost his touch.
No matter how much I vote, I just don't make it, and then I get anxious, and then I don't make it even more.
James is almost trapped in a vicious cycle.
The free throw was missed.
From the beginning of the second quarter, James seemed to be unable to find the basket.
Because his mentality is unbalanced.
He wanted to compete with Chen Jie, but he didn't expect Lu Er Deng to show up midway. He didn't expect Lu Er Deng to perform so well that he would have to put in so much effort to deal with him.
Of course, what surprised him the most was that Chen Jie, whom he regarded as his biggest opponent, actually used the shot he was least good at to defeat him.
This made him feel so embarrassed.
Even if Luer Deng lets him break through, he won't win in a big way. You know, when you break through, others' breakthroughs are not inferior, but when others shoot, you don't dare to challenge.
Isn’t it embarrassing if this gets spread out? It’s broadcast live across the United States!
Although it is said that winners and losers, as long as you win, the praise will be endless.
But people who are thoughtful will always see it, and if I analyze the various skills of myself and Chen Jie in the future, I will definitely be criticized to death when it comes to shooting.
The most important thing is that even if you insist on a breakthrough style of play, others won't let you. Even if they give in, you may not be able to win.
At this time, the Cavaliers were actually only six points behind.
However, seeing James' exaggerated expression of frustration when he missed a free throw, Barkley had already asserted it in the TNT live broadcast room.
"The victory has been decided!"
The battle over who will be the next master of the league has already been decided.
Obviously, the winner is Chen Jie.
Judging from the first half alone, although Chen Jie's breakthroughs are not as good as James's, his shooting is much better than his, and his skills are more comprehensive than his. The most important thing is that Chen Jie is more general than him.
When the Bulls fell behind in the first quarter and James broke through unstoppably, Chen Jie did not give up. He counterattacked while thinking about countermeasures, and finally directed Luol Deng to restrain James.
In the second quarter, when the Cavaliers were at a disadvantage, James could only feel frustrated and could not think of a solution.
