Because Jessica Alba had just broken up and couldn't stand the fight, Chen Jie wanted to kill her once, then hugged her and fell asleep deeply.
He didn't know what Jessica was thinking, whether he just wanted a one-night fling or really liked him, so he didn't make any promises to Jessica.
Early the next morning, Jessica sent Chen Jie to the airport and flew back to Chicago. Along the way, Jessica was still talking and laughing as before, as if what happened last night never happened.
Chen Jie thought that this meant that Jessica only regarded him as a one-night stand. Although she was still a virgin when she slept with him, Chen Jie knew that Westerners did not seem to value this very much, so he originally felt that
A little bit of pressure disappeared, and I immediately let go and started chatting with Jessica.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Chen Jie got on the plane.
He didn't know that after he left, Jessica didn't leave for a long time. Looking at the plane that had disappeared in the sky, there were faint tears in Jessica's eyes.
After returning to Chicago, Chen Jie went home, took a shower, and immediately drove to the United Center.
In the evening, it was a game against the Hornets. Although the Hornets' record this season was not very good, it is undeniable that at least on paper, the Hornets are still very strong.
Their current head coach is Byron Scott. In Chen Jie's opinion, he is a very capable coach. Before signing with the Hornets on May 28 this year, Scott had been the New Jersey Nets' coach.
Head coach.
In the three and a half years he coached the Nets, his results were still very good. The total record was 149 wins and 139 losses. The most important thing is that before he coached the Nets, the Nets ranked fourth from the bottom in the Eastern Conference. But he
But he quickly turned the Nets into a strong contender for the championship, leading the team to the Finals twice.
In the 2000-01 season, he served as the head coach for the first time and took charge of the Nets. However, the Nets' performance did not soar that year, with only 2, 6 wins and 56 losses. In the 2001-02 season, the Nets made rapid progress, with 52 wins and 30 losses in the regular season, setting a record for the Nets.
The historical record for wins in a single season, and the promotion rate of 26 games is also among the top 6 in the NBA. Scott also became the head coach of the Eastern All-Star team in 2002. The Nets made a blockbuster in the playoffs. They eliminated the Pacers and the Hornets successively.
and the Celtics, and played until the Finals before losing to the Lakers, who had won three consecutive championships. In the 2002-03 season, Scott once again led the Nets to the Finals. The Nets had 49 wins and 33 losses in the regular season, ranking first in the Eastern Conference.
Second. In the playoffs, the Nets once again passed the test and reached the finals, but this time they lost to the Spurs, who had already begun to show their dominance.
Scott was fired by the Nets at the beginning of the middle of last season and became a broadcaster for ABC. It was not until May 28, 2004 that he joined the Hornets and became the seventh coach in the history of the Hornets.
Judging from this history, Scott is still a very capable coach. The Hornets under his guidance are definitely not the same.
It is worth mentioning that Scott also had a brilliant experience as a player. Before becoming a coach, he played in the NBA for 14 years. He won three championship trophies with the Lakers (1985, 1987, 1988).
He was a personal participant in the world-famous "Showtime" era of the Lakers.
In addition to head coach Scott's ability, the Hornets' lineup this season is not weak either.
The "King Bee" Baron Davis, who was in his prime, was a draft candidate in 1999. He has now become the mainstay of the Hornets and the star. It can be said that even with Iverson, he is the best player in the NBA.
The fastest player. His dribbling and breakthrough speed are probably inferior to Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant. However, speed cannot solve all problems. Height is the bottleneck of Davis, and it is also the reason why he has never become a super player.
The main reason. Davis is not only fast and quick, but he also averaged 2.4 steals per game last season. Chen Jie feels that neither Hinrich nor Du Hong should be his opponent.
In addition to Davis, there are several players that Chen Jie is familiar with, such as P.J. Brown, who is now with the Hornets. Before joining the Hornets, Brown played for the Nets and Heat. In the 2000-01 season, he joined in the summer
Lott's Hornets have become an indispensable main player in the team. Last season, he averaged 10.4 points and 5.7 rebounds per game, shooting 47.6% from the field.
There is also Magloire, who is currently ranked among the top ten centers in the league. He was born in Toronto, Canada. It can be said that he has improved rapidly. When he first joined the Hornets in 2001, he averaged only 4.6 points and 4.0 rebounds per game, ranking second in the league.
He doubled that in just one season. Last season, he became the absolute main center of the Hornets, averaging 13.6 points and 10.4 rebounds per game.
In addition to these three players, Wesley, one of the future teammates of Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, who is well-known to Chinese fans, is also playing for the Hornets. There is also Chris Anderson, the Birdman who has not caused a drug scandal and has just entered the league.
Jr. Smith, David West who has not yet made a name for himself.
There is no doubt that the Hornets' current lineup is very competitive and balanced.
Moreover, in the view of Chen Jie, who is familiar with the future, the Hornets' lineup also has great potential.
Anderson, Smith, and West will definitely become important members of the team in the future.
Thinking about the information he knew about the Hornets, Chen Jie walked towards the locker room.
The game didn't start until 7:30 in the evening. At this time, there were not many people in the United Center.
When Chen Jie was walking in the aisle, there were only a few arena staff coming and going.
Seeing Chen Jie appear, they all greeted Chen Jie in a friendly manner. After all, everyone knows that Chen Jie's status in the Bulls is transcendent.
He is now the darling of all Chicago.
Otherwise, his every move would not attract so much media attention.
After arriving at the locker room, Chen Jie was surprised to find that it was not empty.
There was someone who came earlier than me.
Luer Deng, who performed well against James in the last game, has already arrived and seems to have been practicing for a while. He is undergoing physical therapy in the locker room. The water droplets on his body are still clearly visible.
Luer Deng certainly has his own ideas. His performance in the last game made him feel his potential. Although he has not yet thought about competing with Chen Jie for the position of the team leader, no matter who it is, he wants to
Progressive, Lul Deng is no exception.
How can you improve in the NBA? The answer is simple, that is, train, train, and train again.
Seeing Chen Jie, Luer Deng showed a sincere smile on his face: "Hi, Jie!"
Although the two people may have conflicts in the future, at least for now, there is no barrier between them.
Seeing Lu Er and Deng's feet soaked in the ice water, Chen Jie showed a knowing smile on his face, "You came very early, Lu Er. What, are you ready for the game tonight?"
"Of course, I have to dunk Magloire on his head tonight. You don't know, during the interview yesterday, someone asked him how the Bulls were doing. He said with disdain that he didn't know and had never paid attention.
Passed!" Luer Deng said very angrily. No one wants their team to be looked down upon, and Luer Deng is no exception.
"Oh, really? Then I support you!" Chen Jie said as he walked to his closet and started changing clothes.
His wardrobe was next to Lu Er Deng. Watching Chen Jie open the cabinet and take off his coat, Lu Er Deng suddenly sniffed hard. Seeing Chen Jie looking at him curiously, Lu Er Deng chuckled and said
: "Smell if you have any feminine scent!"
Chen Jie rolled his eyes, feeling helpless.
"How was your day yesterday? I saw it in the newspaper. Did you co-produce an advertisement with Jessica Alba?" Ruel Deng smiled maliciously.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Chen Jie had something in his mind and tried to stay calm.
"It's nothing, I just thought, it's not easy for you to meet each other once, but...ahem, that girl is very good?" Lu Erdeng and Chen Jie have always had a good relationship, so they don't have any scruples in speaking.
"What are you thinking? I have nothing to do with her. I have a girlfriend now! Luer, do you think I will fool around like you?" Chen Jie's heart beat violently, and he agreed with Luer and Deng.
In other words, Jessica is really a very attractive girl, but on the surface, Chen Jie still pretends to be upright and upright.
"Okay, there is nothing you can't say in front of me. Don't worry, I won't tell your girlfriend. Speaking of your girlfriend, have you known each other before? She is also from China?" Lul Deng asked
road.
"Well, we have known each other since I was at Duke University, but we just got together. She is Chinese like me!" Chen Jie said with a happy expression on his face when he talked about Li Min'er.
"Congratulations!" Lul Deng sighed sincerely.
While the two were talking, another person walked into the locker room, it was Du Hong.
After Chen Jie saw him, he was very curious. This person was usually the last one to arrive. Why was he so active today?
He was about to ask, but Du Hong spoke first: "You are smiling so happily, what are you talking about?"
Luer Deng smiled at Chen Jie but did not answer.
Chen Jie shrugged.
"Oh, by the way, Jay, I just wanted to ask you, how was your night last night? Jessica is so cool? Haha, you know, many people in the league have ideas for her, but no one has succeeded.
I didn't expect that I'd give you an advantage!" Seeing Chen Jie, Du Hong suddenly remembered something and said with a smile.
Chen Jie looked at Luer Deng who was smiling more cheerfully, with a wry smile on his face: "Chris, why did you come so early today?"
Chen Jie quickly changed the topic.
"Don't mention it. Hey, that Baron Davis, the coach asked me to guard him tonight. I have to come in advance to prepare." Sure enough, after being asked by Chen Jie, Du Hong also forgot about Jessica.
He cried with a grimace.
"That's right. Actually, Baron Davis is not without his shortcomings!" Chen Jie said. (To be continued...)
ps: Baron Davis is a player I like very much. When he was with the Hornets, should it be considered his peak period?
