Chapter 196 It's getting harder and harder to be a reporter
(I’m asking for recommendation votes, collections, rewards, and all kinds of things.)
After LeBron James' breakthrough was blocked, his handwriting began to go wrong. He finally relied on his super physical fitness to break through to the inside and hit a 2+1. As a result, he was booed by the fans in the United Center Arena.
The free throw had not yet been made, and frustration was written on that face that was not very handsome in the first place.
As for the Bulls, Chen Jie still maintains a high shooting percentage. Facing Pavlovich, who has no way to limit himself, Chen Jie becomes more confident as he gets older. Not only does his scoring continue to increase, but he also helps Qian
Dele and Luer Deng completed several alley-oops.
At the end of the second quarter, the Cavaliers trailed by eight points.
In the second half, the game went extremely smoothly. Although the Cavaliers have a better record than the Bulls, but purely based on their financial strength, the Bulls' bench is deeper. Originally, the Cavaliers relied on three positions in the main lineup.
The advantage can definitely cause a lot of trouble for the Bulls. For example, in the first quarter, the Bulls have been lagging behind, entirely because of the strength gap between Luol Demby and James at the small forward position.
However, because Luol Deng's defensive strategy against James began to work, the Cavaliers were unable to establish internal and external connections. Ilgauskas's role was not played at all. Both he and James fell into a one-on-one fight. Although
In the second half of the third quarter, the Cavaliers also launched a counterattack, once narrowing the score gap to 4 points. However, Luer Deng and Chen Jie's consecutive three-pointers quickly suppressed the Cavaliers' counterattack.
Go down.
The game continued until there were two minutes left in the fourth quarter. The Bulls still maintained a lead of about ten points, and the Cavaliers gave up the game.
It is worth mentioning that Skiles only allowed Chen Jie to play for 26 minutes in this game, which is rare. You must know that the outcome of this game was not completely determined until the fourth quarter.
Yes, the game did not enter garbage time early. But Scales still stubbornly pushed Chen Jie to the bench.
In Barkley's words, if Chen Jie had been allowed to play three minutes earlier at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the game would have been over long ago.
However, not many media raised questions about Skiles' decision. Maybe it was due to Chen Jie's poor physical condition. This kind of thing is not uncommon. It's just a game. What's all the fuss about?
Moreover, although Chen Jie only played 26 minutes, he scored 30 points, which is very efficient.
The Bulls finally defeated the Cavaliers 110-99. Luer Deng scored 20 points and LeBron James scored a game-high 36 points. However, in terms of assists, his three assists were completely inferior to Chen's.
Jay's seven assists.
From the data point of view, there was no winner between James and Chen Jie, but the Bulls won the game in the end. Therefore, at the press conference after the game, many media reiterated the question on the official website of the league, who is the next player in the league?
A dominator. Perhaps he deliberately wanted James and Chen Jie to reveal some information. The media unanimously believed that Chen Jie, who led the Bulls to victory in the game, was the winner this time.
They originally hoped to see a situation where James was unconvinced and made provocations, and then Chen Jie fought back.
Unfortunately, these two most outstanding young players in the league did not give the media a chance.
"It's just one game, it doesn't mean anything. It can only be said that we are better prepared. LeBron is a good player, and it is an honor for me to have such an opponent. I don't think winning or losing a game can negate his strength.
Dominator? Haha, we are far away from this title. You know, there are superstars like Kobe, Allen, Kevin, and Tim in the league now! We are still young and we still have a lot to learn."
This was Chen Jie's answer. This time, he didn't leave any excuse for the media.
"The Chicagoans played very well in this game. Jayshawn and Luol Deng are both very good players. They are both geniuses, and they obviously performed much better than us in this game. Of course, we will not
Let’s just give up. The season is still very long and we can’t maintain our form all the time. All we can do is summarize, look forward, and strive for victory in every game!”
LeBron James simply avoided the topic.
Because there is still a heavyweight watching the game today, league president David Stern, so the media raised the next question.
"Mr. Jay Sean, Mr. LeBron James, David Stern came to watch this game. Can this be seen as the league's emphasis on you? Do you think the league will focus on cultivating you?"
Will you two become the face of the alliance?"
This question can be said to be very naive.
Jay Sean and LeBron James curled their lips together, seeming to disdain to answer.
But since people have asked, we can't just ignore it.
James glanced at Chen Jie and indicated that you should speak first.
Chen Jie shrugged and was disrespectful.
"Is Mr. David Stern here? I'm sorry, I really didn't notice it. During the game, my attention is usually on the court."
Chen Jie also learned how to avoid talking about James.
His words made the reporters below roll their eyes and focus on the field. Even so, it's impossible for you not to know about Stern's arrival? What a liar?
But when Chen Jie said this, they had no way to refute, they could only look at James, waiting for what he would say.
James glanced at Chen Jie and felt helpless, as if he felt that his lines had been taken away by him.
"The team has been lagging behind, and I don't have time to think about other things. Mr. President came to the game, maybe just for the fun? You have to admit, the game between the Cavaliers and Bulls is very exciting. As for training the two of us
As a signature player, Mr. Reporter, I think you really think too much. There are still many superstars in the league, including Kobe, Shaq, Tracy, Allen, Kevin... They are the signature players of the league now!"
"Mr. President, but..."
The reporter seemed to feel that his question did not elicit anything newsworthy, and was very anxious to ask another question.
James and Chen Jie turned around together, glanced at the press officer, and pointed at their watches, which meant that the time for the press conference had arrived.
Next, the head coaches of the two teams had to be interviewed, so the press officer saw the two players signaling together and did not give the reporter a chance to ask questions, but directly announced that the player interview time was over.
James and Chen Jie did not stop, immediately stood up and walked out of the press conference room side by side.
Looking at the backgrounds of the two players, the reporters were helpless. Although James used to be tactless in his words, Chen Jie was always able to give something. When did he learn to be so diplomatic?
Next, the head coaches of the two teams, let alone the experienced people, can you expect to dig out any valuable news clues from them?
Alas, it’s getting harder and harder to be a reporter these days.
