After talking to Scottie Pippen for a few words, Chen Jie gave up the idea of saying hello to Jessica Alba. This was actually because he felt guilty.
After this, it's almost time for the game to begin.
The atmosphere at the scene, driven by the DJ, slowly reached a fever pitch.
Needless to say, the NBA's sensational, complicated and passionate opening ceremony is of course the same. Almost every game is the same, but what is different is the mentality and momentum of the players.
As for the order of players' appearance, it generally will not change.
At the beginning of the season, Chen Jie was the first to play, and Chandler was placed last. As we all know, the last player to play on each team is basically the star of the team.
At the beginning of the season, Chen Jie had not yet made a name for himself. He was just a rookie with great potential that was being coveted by all teams. Naturally, he could not be placed in such an important position. Although the Bulls also had the intention of cultivating Chen Jie to become a brand, they still could not
Maybe Chen Jie was placed in such a high position right from the beginning.
However, as Chen Jie's performance is getting better and better, his fame is getting bigger and bigger, and his status in the hearts of fans is getting higher and higher. Now he has been placed as the last one to appear, and everyone is convinced.
situation.
At least, now, in the young Bulls team, Chen Jie is already in charge.
After Chen Jie moved to this position, Chandler became the first player in the starting lineup. This is the team's second most important position.
In the Rockets, Yao Ming played in this position, and Tracy McGrady was the last one.
When the DJ at the scene shouted Jay Sean's name, the fans at the United Center cheered and screamed loudly. The atmosphere reached its peak, which shows that Chen Jie's status among Bulls fans is now high.
In the stands, Scottie Pippen couldn't help but feel a little envious. He felt that Chen Jie's current sensation was comparable to that of Michael Jordan back then, but he couldn't compare to himself at the time.
Jessica Alba covered her mouth. This was her first time to watch a game at home in Chicago. At that time, she did not expect that Chen Jie's appeal in Chicago would be so high, even comparable to Staples.
Scott Bryant.
What kind of magic does this rookie, this man have?
Jessica Alba thought crazily in her heart.
Looking at Chen Jie now, she feels like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
In her opinion, Chen Jie has achieved such great achievements and won the support and recognition of so many fans in less than a year after entering the league. He is much better than the superstars of Kobe Iverson.
In this league and this stadium, Chen Jie is the hero, the unique person.
This realization made Jessica become even more obsessed with Chen Jie.
However, she immediately thought that this man did not belong to her, he already had a lover, and Jessica felt a little disappointed in her heart for no reason.
After the opening ceremony, the game will begin.
Paul Pierce was gearing up by the technical stage, hugging his teammates warmly and looking very motivated.
Chen Jie high-fived his teammates one by one, his eyes immediately determined, he was bound to win this game.
The leading stars of the two teams came together and smiled at each other. Paul Pierce took the initiative to greet Chen Jie warmly, and was much friendlier than the last time they met.
Speaking of which, Chen Jie's status in the league is still not comparable to that of Paul Pierce. After all, he only has two months of NBA experience.
However, compared to the last time the two met, Chen Jie, who is playing increasingly better and more steadily, now has the opportunity to have an equal dialogue with Paul Pierce face to face.
In Chen Jie's opinion, it was also for this reason that Paul Pierce's attitude towards him was much better than last time.
After all, this alliance is still a place where the strong is respected.
However, Chen Jie also gave a very friendly response to Paul Pierce's enthusiasm.
The atmosphere before the start of the game was quite good.
In fact, except for the Miami Heat, where the atmosphere was very unfriendly because of O'Neal, when playing against other teams, at least in the beginning, it was quite friendly.
There are not many people in the league who talk loudly to Chen Jie like Hardway did in the last game.
After all, not everyone is a fool.
Not everyone likes to show off.
Even if they think they have the strength to defeat Chen Jie, they will not make lies before they can defeat Chen Jie. This kind of thing is not done by smart people.
Just like Bruce Bowen, whom Chen Jie met when he was not very famous, he was very friendly to Chen Jie.
The Spurs and Bulls were not on the same level at the time, but Chen Jie didn't see any disdain in the eyes of the Spurs players.
That is the quality of a dynasty team.
Those who think they are great, look down on others, and yell to teach the opponent a lesson before the game even begins. Even if they are lucky enough to win a few times, they will never achieve anything big.
Although players like Kobe and Garnett also like to say such things, they do it more to stimulate the opponent's heart and have a purpose, rather than being arrogant and thinking that I am the best in the world.
Now Chen Jie is cultivating this kind of temperament in himself. Respecting and taking opponents seriously is the right way.
Chen Jie's purpose in coming to the NBA is to make his team a dynasty team instead of a short-lived strong team.
After the referee threw the ball high into the air, the game officially started.
The atmosphere at the scene reached climax in an instant.
However, the two parties did not start fighting immediately, but entered the testing stage first.
Today, because Ruel Deng and Hinrich are still suspended, the Bulls' starting lineup is still the same five players as in the last game.
Duhon still plays the point guard position. His performance in the last game at least allowed him to reserve an absolute substitute position for the Bulls. When Hinrich is away, it is normal for him to take over as the starter.
Chen Jie is still a shooting guard. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Bulls really don't have good substitutes at this position, Chen Jie could have played point guard when Hinrich was suspended. After all, he was also a point guard at the beginning.
Of course, no matter which position he plays, Chen Jie is now the absolute main force of the Bulls.
Small forward, Griffin, without Luol Deng, the Bulls can only rely on Griffin at this position. After all, before Luol Deng was strengthened, Griffin had always been the starter. Although he was not very good.
Personal offensive ability, but with the cooperation of a strong scorer, his baseline three-pointers can still help the team to a certain extent. More importantly, on the defensive end, instead of becoming the team's weakness, he is
He can help other teammates. But today, when facing Paul Pierce, he seems a bit weak in this regard.
Power forward and the absolute main force, Tyson Chandler, has excellent defensive rebounds and is definitely among the best in the league. On the offensive end, although he does not have the ability to post up, his scoring after passing down and secondary rebounds is also good.
Center, Eddie Curry, even though everyone in the Bulls team is dissatisfied with this player, they have to admit that he is still capable. At least, none of the players on the bench are more qualified than him.
of this location.
Of course, now that Skiles has the idea of trading him away, he will not train him too much.
Eddie Curry probably also knew that he was about to be traded away. Although he did not passively work on the court, after all, this would be detrimental to his future development, he did not ask for the ball.
For the Celtics, Paul Pierce is the star, offensive core, and small forward. The point guard is Gary Payton. He has been selected to the NBA's "All-Pro Team" twice and the NBA's "All-Defensive Team" eight times in a row.
lineup". He is still a very capable player, at least better than Duhon. Shooting guard, Richie Davis. His most glorious moment was when he won the 4th place in the slam dunk contest at the 2000 All-Star Weekend, and also in
On May 5, 1999, he scored a season-high 32 points and 7 rebounds against his current team, the Celtics. His offensive power still exists, and his performance depends more on Payton's influence on the team.
The combination of offense and defense. The power forward is Tom Gugliotta. He is now a thing of yesterday. He once had his glory, but he can no longer regain his courage. Chandler still has a chance of winning against him. Center Lavrentz
. His offensive power should not be underestimated, and his defensive ability is also very outstanding. After overcoming injuries, he is now the core of the team. Apart from Paul Pierce, the Bulls need to pay attention to this most. Eddy Curry faces him
