After Paul Pierce used his lightning-fast breakthrough to tear apart the Bulls' defense and easily score two points, the Celtics' morale was once again stimulated.
Sometimes, the game is like this. One ball is enough to restore morale, and one ball is enough to invalidate the tactics.
For the Celtics players, Chen Jie's breakthrough just now was second in scoring, but the key was causing LaFrentz's foul.
The Celtics' best shot-blocking player has already committed two fouls, which made the Celtics players feel a little unsure.
What to do? How to defend? Is there a vacuum inside? In this case, wouldn't a player like Chen Jie who can break through get what he wants? How to play this game?
There is no doubt that after the ball just now, the Celtics players on the court had more or less such thoughts.
Morale, of course, was a little low right now.
But immediately, Paul Pierce's goal gave them hope again.
Yes, what are you afraid of? Chen Jie can get whatever he wants, and so can our Paul.
They have Jayshawn and we have Paul!
Omnipotent Paul! As long as he is here, we still have hope! Look, no one can prevent his breakthrough!
Just such a small change can actually create a big effect.
In an instant, the faces of the Celtic players were filled with fortitude again!
If that wasn't enough, the next goal was enough to boost the Celtics' morale, even to the peak!
Chen Jie, who was going all out, received Du Hong's pass and once again broke through Richie Davis and reached the inside.
This time, he went for LaFrentz.
You've committed two fouls and Rivers still hasn't replaced you, so I'll give you another foul. If you commit three fouls, I don't believe Rivers can still sit there!
That's what Chen Jie was thinking.
To take a step back, even if you don't foul, your defense is probably at a loss. Wouldn't that just let me score two points easily?
In short, whether you are guarding me or not, I will always take advantage!
With this idea in mind, Chen Jie attacked LaFrentz again!
Many fans in the stands have even stood up. They are preparing for either Chen Jie to score or LaFrentz to foul, no matter what the result is. They will applaud and celebrate!
Yes, in the eyes of these fans, even in the hearts of Chen Jie, Skiles, and all the Bulls players on the court, there are only two results!
But they forgot that, in fact, there is a third result!
LaFrentz chose defense!
That's right, even after two fouls, LaFrentz did not flinch. Facing Chen Jie who rushed in, LaFrentz rushed forward!
Bang! Bang!
After two crisp sounds, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
The result was beyond their expectations!
LaFrentz slapped Chen Jie's layup away!
A huge hot pot!
The first muffled sound was the physical contact between Chen Jie and LaFrentz!
Outside the reasonable collision area, LaFrentz jumped up and the two people made physical contact! There is no doubt that according to the rules, this is not a foul! Therefore, the referee's whistle did not sound.
The second crisp sound was the sound of LaFrentz's big hand slapping the basketball.
After Chen Jie and LaFrentz came into physical contact, no whistle was heard. In the air, Chen Jie's abdomen contracted, then expanded, and finally took action!
However, after taking the shot, the basketball did not move towards the basket, but was completely changed by LaFrentz's big hand!
All of this happened like lightning.
Chen Jie stayed in the air for no more than a second.
However, in fact, this second is enough. Many superstars throw their bodies into the air, wait for the referee to blow the whistle, and then take action to hit a three-pointer.
Chen Jie, I originally thought so too.
However, the referee's whistle did not sound, which was somewhat beyond Chen Jie's expectation.
Then, he made a hasty move and got a big hit!
In fact, it's no wonder that Chen Jie went there with the intention of drawing a foul in the first place. After seeing LaFrentz come out, Chen Jie only had the idea of drawing a foul.
This makes his mid-air dodge a little too casual!
If he hadn't had this idea, Chen Jie would not have been blocked. Although it is normal for players who play in the league to have no blocks, it is normal for them to have a few blocks.
However, when you are fully capable of scoring two points without being blocked, you are blocked in order to draw a foul, and the foul has not yet been successful. This is a bit frustrating!
At least, after landing, Chen Jie's expression was very depressed!
The fans at the United Center were already ready to applaud, but after seeing the ball, they dropped their hands in despair.
Really disappointing!
The morale of the Celtics skyrocketed in an instant!
LaFrentz fanned the ball inbounds, and after a series of battles, the basketball came into Paul Pierce's hands.
Paul Pierce wanted to play a fast break, but saw that Chandler and others had quickly returned to defense, so he slowed down the pace.
At this time, Chen Jie and LaFrentz were still standing in the backcourt.
Chen Jie clapped his hands in frustration and even forgot to put pressure on the referee and argue a few words.
LaFrenz, on the other hand, looked up to the sky and roared! Of course, his roar was met with boos all over the sky.
Didn’t I just give you a hot pot? What are you so proud of? Really!
Fans at the United Center generally feel this way.
On the sidelines, Scottie Pippen had a smile on his face, and his expression did not change at all because of this block. But Jessica Alba covered her eyes, as if she didn't want to see Chen Jie's embarrassment.
In other words, at this moment, she felt a little unhappy because of this ball.
Well, she has put herself into the role of Chen Jie. Now she is a standard Chen Jie fan and a die-hard Bulls fan!
Paul Pierce slowly dribbled the ball past half-court, organizing the Celtics' offense.
After LaFrentz was booed, he became even more excited, jumping and running through half the court.
Chen Jie also quickly rushed back to the defensive position. Since he was blocked, he came back and sighed, it was of no use. Chen Jie still knew this truth.
Paul Pierce's breakthrough. Griffin still couldn't do anything about it. Chandler was smart this time and moved inside to help defend in advance. Eddie Curry also followed.
The Bulls' two big men formed a wall, leaving no room for Paul Pierce to break through.
Seeing that there was no chance, Paul Pierce twisted his body and threw the basketball out.
The one who caught the ball was LaFrenz, who had just blocked Chen Jie!
At this moment, everything was empty in front of him! There was no one to defend him. LaFrentz inhaled, adjusted, and shot. The whole movement was like clouds and flowing water, which was very beautiful.
However, after the basketball was released, LaFrentz felt that darkness suddenly hit his eyes!
Bang!
Another loud noise!
Another hotpot!
The one who blocked the shot was Jay Sean!
This time, Chen Jie, who did not run back inside to help defend Paul Pierce, immediately ran over from the weak side after seeing Paul Pierce pass the ball.
LaFrentz didn't notice Chen Jie coming at all, he only saw that there was no one defending him.
Therefore, without any scruples, he took action simply.
This gave Chen Jie a chance to take revenge.
Chen Jie, how could you let him go?
Like a sneak attack, Chen Jie took off from the side of LaFrenz. At the moment when the basketball was released, he glided past LaFrenz. He first reached it with his left hand without touching the basketball, and then raised it higher.
With his right hand, he pressed down the basketball.
This action is very exaggerated, making the whole action look very shocking!
The basketball was pushed to the ground by Chen Jie, bounced once, and was immediately controlled by Chen Jie.
The entire audience and fans were silent for a second before they burst into thunderous applause.
Hot pot, also see hot pot. Moreover, the distance between two hot pots is so short.
After LaFrentz blocked Chen Jie, within a few seconds, Chen Jie immediately returned the favor.
Well, such a coincidental plot is enough to become a classic.
Maybe, many years later, people will no longer remember this game, but there will definitely be many people who will remember these two blocks and the names Jayshawn and LaFrentz!
The two people joined forces to stage a revenge story. Lafrentz was happy first and then sad, while Chen Jie was sad first and then happy.
All this happened within ten seconds.
Such a coincidence and such speed made many fans not even react at the first time.
In fact, many people's faces showed pity for Chen Jie's shot just now. Immediately, just a second later, their faces turned into ecstasy when they saw Chen Jie block the shot!
Jessica Alba is such an obvious example.
She covered her eyes, put down her hands again, and saw Chen Jie giving LaFrentz a big hot pot.
She was surprised and opened her mouth wide.
Many people, like her, can't believe their eyes.
It's so incredible that all of this happened!
Everyone is happy that they can witness these two goals.
However, the players at the scene could not think of so much.
After Chen Jie controlled the basketball he pressed on the floor, the first person to react was Richie Davis next to him. In order to slow down Chen Jie's attack, Richie Davis took control of the basketball after Chen Jie controlled it.
, ran over immediately and stretched out his hand to steal the ball.
Then, LaFrentz, who was covered, also reacted.
Tightly blocking Chen Jie's fast break route.
The Celtic players also took advantage of this moment to quickly return to defense!
Fast break seems to be hopeless!
No, there is more!
Just when Chen Jie was about to slow down, he saw a figure in front of him, a red figure, running fast! (To be continued...)
