Chen Jie originally thought that the Celtics could be easily eliminated in this game. Although Paul Pierce was a big problem, judging from the strength comparison between the two teams, it was still very easy for the Bulls to win this game.
.
Even Chen Jie had extravagant hopes that if the lead was confirmed in the first half, he could rest more in the second half. After all, these games lasted for more than forty minutes, and Chen Jie was still a little tired.
But I didn't expect that the Celtics would cause so much trouble to the Bulls in the first quarter of this game. Facing the Bulls, the Celtics seemed to be a different team, attacking
There is structure and level of defense. Is this still the weak team currently at the bottom of the Eastern Conference?
Chen Jie even suspected that the reason why the Celtics players worked so hard and performed so well might be because they were bribed by the media who bet against him!
Now he has the illusion that the team he is facing is a time-traveled version of the Celtics from the Big Three era?
This is a team that is heading for the playoffs and even the championship!
During the break, Chen Jie sat on the bench, feeling very depressed.
Chen Jie was not interested in even giving a glance to the hot-bodied cheerleaders dancing on the field.
Just wait and find a way. I originally thought it was just that I couldn't get the ball. Now it seems that the Celtics just want to cut off the connection between themselves and their teammates. If they don't break the Celtics' defensive strategy as soon as possible,
, not to mention that the lead was confirmed in the first half, even if you want to win this game, it is probably a bit difficult.
This game cannot be lost.
Not only does the Bulls need to win this inevitable victory, but even Chen Jie himself must win this game. Otherwise, losing the bet is a small matter, but losing face is a big deal!
Skiles was also frowning and thinking. In fact, to break this defense, it is very simple. As long as there is a player other than Chen Jie who can break through or a player who can continue to put pressure on the Celtics in singles.
That’s it. But, it’s easy to say, but you have to have such a person, right?
This player needs to have a good overall view. And his personal ability is pretty good.
In the Bulls, it seems that there are really not many people who meet this condition.
Chen Jie counts as one, Xinrich Luer and Deng count as one, but except for Chen Jie, the other two are suspended.
And Chen Jie is now trapped in the Celtics' defensive whirlpool. He himself cannot solve the dilemma he faces.
The Celtics' current defensive formation is basically centered on Chen Jie and spread out in all directions. There is no direct double-teaming. But it is better than a double-teaming.
And if the Bulls have another player with impact and a good outlook on the overall situation to defeat the Celtics' defense, then Chen Jie can get out of this vortex and re-establish contact with his teammates.
In this way, Chen Jie is no longer alone against a team!
But who to look for?
Scales had a headache.
Chen Jie also understood this tactical principle very well. Seeing Skiles frowning, Chen Jie naturally knew that he was looking for someone who could attack, and during the attack, he could temporarily revitalize the team.
.
Skiles can't find such a person, but Chen Jie can.
Looking around the Bulls' bench, Chen Jie spotted an international player sitting almost at the end of the bench, commonly known as the water dispenser keeper.
His name is Andis Noccioni.
He also joined the Bulls this summer, but he is not a rookie. As an international player and an Argentine, Noccioni has played in the professional league in Argentina before.
His experience is similar to Scola's.
In his previous life, Chen Jie had heard about this player.
The three-point ability is good, the overall situation is good, and the impact of offensive rebounds is very good.
Although he plays power forward, the Bulls already have Chandler at this position. However, if Eddy Curry is taken away, Chandler is pushed to the center position, and then Noccioni plays power forward.
Forward, it should also be possible?
Although he didn't know much about the current Nocchioni, Chen Jie's experience in his previous life made Chen Jie feel that it was impossible for Nocchione to become a mediocre person just because of his name?
Thinking of this, Chen Jie stood up, walked to Scales, and said to Scales: "Otherwise, let Andis try it!"
Andis?
When Skiles heard the name, he was stunned for a moment, and even thought about it for a while before realizing that he was a player on his own team.
This cannot be blamed on Noccioni. He has no American professional basketball background, but now, in Skiles' eyes, he is still a dispensable figure.
In addition, he usually has a very low-key personality, which can be said to be taciturn. During the team training, he did not talk much and did not attract much attention. He sat at the end of the bench.
How could Skiles pay attention to such a player?
It can be said that Noccioni has no chance to play now, unless a game reaches garbage time.
With Chandler, Antonio Davis, and Nocchioni, there is no place at all on the Bulls' tactical board!
Chen Jie now suggested to Skiles that he should play, and Skiles even thought he heard wrongly.
But when he turned around and saw Chen Jie's serious face, Scales knew that Chen Jie was not joking.
"Jie, are you sure he can do it?"
Skiles still doesn't want to believe that such a player can get the Bulls out of trouble.
But on the other hand, Chen Jie's advice to him in the past was basically correct. For example, in the last game, he insisted on keeping Du Hong on the court, and Du Hong broke out in the end.
Another example...
Speaking of which, Skiles is also very strange. This Chen Jie usually has a very good understanding of tactics. He is also very accurate in reading people. Chen Jie does not even recognize the technical characteristics and temperament of many players.
Everyone can tell it.
If he hadn't believed that myths did not exist in this world, Scales would have even thought that Chen Jie was a person with supernatural powers.
This time, Chen Jie recommended Nocchioni. Although he said he didn't believe it, could it be that Chen Jie was really right?
Scales hesitated.
"Believe me, coach, we are still ahead anyway, let's give him a chance to try. If the effect is good, we will naturally win smoothly. Even if the effect is not good, we will just think of another way!"
Chen Jie worked hard to persuade Scales.
Skiles thought for a long time and finally made a decision.
"Andis, get ready, come on immediately, replace Eddie, Tyson will play C, Andis will play Tyson's position!" Skiles waved to Noccioni at the end of the bench.
This time, Noccioni took over the task at the critical moment.
However, when he heard this sentence, Noccioni reacted for a long time, as if he thought he heard it wrong. (To be continued...)
