With his head held high, Chen Jie returned to the court and continued the game for the last three minutes.
On the other side, Paul Pierce was also walking into the court, and his eyes inadvertently turned over and looked at Chen Jie.
The two people looked at each other, Chen Jie's eyes were firm, but Paul Pierce unexpectedly winked at Chen Jie and showed a smile.
It looked like an old friend whom I hadn't seen for many years.
Chen Jie was a little confused. He and Paul Pierce had no friendship at all. If Kobe showed such an expression to him, it was normal. After all, he had been to Kobe's house and attended the party held by Kobe. But Paul?
Pierce showed favor to Chen Jie like this, and Chen Jie was a little confused.
In fact, just two months after entering the NBA, although Chen Jie is somewhat famous, he really doesn’t have many friends. Except for his former Duke teammate Xiao Hei, he is considered a friend in other teams.
, there are only Yao Ming of the Rockets, Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant of the Lakers.
Players like Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade can only be said to be related to Chen Jie. Of course, this also includes Dwight Howard and Okafor, the second overall pick of the Bobcats this year.
The only relationship between the other players and Chen Jie is that they also work in this league. It's okay to say hello when they meet each other, but this kind of show of goodwill is a bit surprising.
But at this time, Chen Jie was not in the mood to think too much about these things.
He still needs to play the game well first. Even if Paul Pierce shows his kindness, he cannot let Chen Jie save face on the court.
This league is like this, no matter how good friends are off the court, they will not show mercy if they become opponents on the court.
Although Chen Jie was absent from the first game against the Rockets, even if Chen Jie was on the court, I believe he would try his best to defeat the Rockets.
Because in the eyes of Chen Jie and all NBA players, only by giving your best can you respect your opponent.
Letting go is actually an insult!
Furthermore, isn’t there a famous saying that basketball is not life and death, but it is higher than life and death.
The NBA attaches great importance to game results, which is beyond the imagination of normal people. Chen Jie, who has lived in the United States for three years, has now integrated into this environment.
The Bulls sideline ball was served by Chen Jie.
Chandler pulled to the outside to catch the ball and leaned against LaFrentz. After Chandler received the ball, he directly handed the ball to Chen Jie who walked into the court.
Chen Jie didn't pause at all after taking the ball, and passed by Richie Davis beside him. At this time, Chandler passed down and came to the vicinity of the three-second zone. LaFrentz stepped forward to delay Chen Jie's shot.
Breakthrough, failed to follow Chandler.
Finally got a chance to play.
For more than half of the game, this is the first time that Chen Jie has been able to pass the ball to his teammates so comfortably.
Chen Jie, who used to average around 7 assists per game, has only had a measly two assists in this game so far.
But now, the opportunity for the third assist has come!
Now that Chandler has the chance, how can Chen Jie still go it alone.
He doesn't like this way of scoring. If there is a chance for his teammates to score, Chen Jie would rather pass the ball. At heart, he is still a point guard!
After all, he played this position for two years at Duke.
The first requirement of a point guard is to be selfless when his teammates have better opportunities than themselves.
Especially in a team like Duke where team basketball is paramount, it can be said that this point has been integrated into Chen Jie's bones after Lao K's repeated emphasis.
Jumping up, Chen Jie lobbed the ball in front of Chandler through Richie Davis and LaFrentz, who was about to follow Chandler when he saw him free.
Chandler took off directly, grabbed the basketball passed by Chen Jie in the air, and dunked directly!
This alley-oop was played very beautifully, and it finally brought the excitement of the United Center that had just fallen into silence back to life again!
Chandler clenched his fist and roared. He had not scored so comfortably for most of the game!
Chen Jie smiled knowingly. He didn't have to work so hard to assist his teammates to score. It turned out to be so comfortable!
As Chandler dunked the ball in, the Bulls' lead reached three points.
The fans at the United Center once again saw the hope of victory.
But immediately, Paul Pierce's three-pointer allowed the Celtics to catch up with the score again.
At the critical moment, the "truth" shows no mercy!
After Griffin's three-pointer, the two teams were tied again. The point difference that Chen Jie had just used to help the Bulls open up with this beautiful assist was once again filled.
Shaking his head, Chen Jie felt a little helpless.
Playing against someone like Paul Pierce is really a despairing thing.
It seems that as long as he wants to score, he will be able to do it normally.
Chen Jie, who has competed against Kobe Iverson, James Wade and others, has had such thoughts about people for the first time.
In Chen Jie's opinion, Paul Pierce is definitely an undervalued player. Only when you actually get on the court and compete with these superstars you have seen on TV before will you find out who is more oppressive.
Although the Celtics have a poor record, they cannot conceal the talent of Paul Pierce.
To a certain extent, Paul Pierce is the best player in the league.
At least, that's how Chen Jie sees it. In his previous life, he wasn't very interested in Paul Pierce.
But now, Chen Jie has to admire him!
But admiration does not mean giving up!
If you can make a three-pointer, so can I!
As if to prove this statement, in the subsequent Bulls' attack, Chen Jie and Paul Pierce were in the same position, with almost the same movements, and scored a three-pointer, once again widening the point difference to three points.
!
Chen Jie's score has reached 52 points, setting a new record for his career.
After the ball was made, subtitles were immediately displayed on the big screen at the United Center to remind him that no matter what the outcome of this game was, Chen Jie had already set a new scoring high in his career!
Seeing this series of subtitles, all the fans in the United Center stood up and applauded, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.
It's like the Bulls have already won this game.
From this scene, we can see how high Chen Jie's status is in the hearts of Bulls fans now!
Even these fans feel that Chen Jie's ability to refresh his own record is more important than winning the game.
Of course, they also have another expectation, that is, Chen Jie can score 60 points!
There are still two minutes and ten seconds left, Chen Jie is still eight points short!
Some difficulties! (To be continued...)
ps: There will be a second and third update, and those who can code quickly will also explode!
