()Chen Jie vs. Tracy McGrady, a long-lost one-on-one between superstars.
Both of them have the status of bosses in their respective teams. Although in terms of status, Chen Jie cannot compare with Tracy McGrady, who has been in the league for so many years and has proven himself with the Magic. But his recent performance,
It's enough to give Chen Jie a chance to compete with Tracy McGrady.
Comparing the two people, McGrady's talent is undoubtedly more outstanding. Whether it is offense or defense, McGrady has talents that others cannot match. In fact, not only Chen Jie, I am afraid that other players in the league are inferior in terms of talent.
In terms of items, compared with Tracy McGrady, he would be ashamed.
On the defensive end, in terms of wingspan and jumping, Chen Jie will not be McGrady's opponent. The only thing that Chen Jie is better than McGrady is that Chen Jie's defensive enthusiasm is definitely better than McGrady. Otherwise, in
In this regard, Chen Jie basically cannot compete with Tracy McGrady.
On the offensive end, McGrady's touch is unmatched by Chen Jie. However, Chen Jie's shooting ability is also very good due to his acquired training. In terms of breakthroughs, if there is no impact of back injury, Chen Jie cannot compare.
McGrady, however, Chen Jie is not injured now, and McGrady is worried about his back injury. In this regard, Chen Jie still has a slight advantage.
In this face-to-face dialogue between two people, many people are optimistic that the Rockets will win, but not many people think that Chen Jie will lose too much in the personal dialogue with Tracy McGrady.
Even if he loses, Chen Jie will lose honorably. This is the view of many people.
Because of this, Yang Yi regards this as a big highlight of this game.
And as the three people's comments slowly warmed up the game, at least for this China Derby, the atmosphere in mainland China has reached its peak.
Now, in fact, many Chinese people in Houston have also organized a group to come to the Toyota Center to cheer for Yao Ming and Chen Jie.
Among them, there are more fans of Yao Ming. After all, he has played in Houston for two years. The popularity Yao Ming has accumulated cannot be underestimated.
Before the game, players from both sides came to the court and warmed up first.
At this time, the Toyota Center was basically full, and the Rockets' ticket sales were still very good since Tracy McGrady arrived.
Chen Jie wore the red training uniform of the Bulls and came to the court with a basketball in his arms. When many Chinese fans in the stands saw Chen Jie's appearance, the atmosphere immediately heated up and they shouted Chen Jie's name one after another.
After hearing the cheers from the fans, Chen Jie's solemn expression changed and he waved to the fans with a smile on his face.
Anyone else would be happy to meet fans who support him in an away game.
Of course, it is common for a superstar like Kobe Iverson to have his own fans in every away game, but Chen Jie, who has just entered the league, still enjoys this feeling.
At the Toyota Center, the so-called Chinese Derby did not have a strong Chinese flavor. Even the publicity on the big screen was mostly given to Tracy McGrady.
The Rockets have only one protagonist and one core recently, and his name is Tracy.
That magical performance of reversing the Spurs in 35 seconds at home has allowed Tracy McGrady to conquer the hearts of Houstonians. Chinese fans who originally thought that Yao Ming would become the core of the Rockets this season were disappointed, but they did not stop because of this.
I hated Tracy McGrady, but instead I began to like this talented player who was astonishingly talented but seemed to be jealous of God.
In fact, Chen Jie started to like Tracy McGrady probably this year.
Now, returning to this point in time, and as the protagonist witnessing Tracy McGrady's status in the hearts of Chinese fans rising little by little, Chen Jie feels very magical.
After Chen Jie came on the scene to warm up, Houston players also began to enter the stadium one after another. When Chen Jie heard the roar of the Toyota Center fans reaching its peak, he knew that Tracy McGrady had entered.
He still had the familiar sleepy eyes, as if he hadn't woken up, but the desire revealed in his eyes was still vaguely visible.
This desire is the desire for victory and the desire for a championship.
Seeing McGrady's high spirits at this moment, Chen Jie felt as if he was in another world.
Once upon a time, these pictures existed in my memory, but now, I can experience them personally. Is this a blessing?
Looking at Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming, Chen Jie's eyes were a little dazed.
The two friends came over to say hello to Chen Jie immediately.
Seeing Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady coming together, Chen Jie also stepped forward with a smile, the three of them hugged, and then chatted together for a while.
This scene was recorded by many cameras. There is no doubt that this will be the front page headline in tomorrow's newspaper. At least, it will be like this in China, Chicago, and Houston.
The three of them chatted about some topics about previous games and recent life. They separated after about ten minutes, and then each returned to their team's camp to warm up before the game.
At this time, it was getting closer and closer to the start of the game.
CCTV has already prepared to switch the signal to the scene of the game. In this game, CCTV did not send reporters, which is somewhat inconsistent with their work habits. However, considering that Chen Jie's recent performance has been somewhat beyond everyone's expectations,
CCTV certainly did not expect that Chen Jie would become so popular, so it was understandable that they did not prepare in advance.
After the pre-game warm-up, the players from both teams returned to the locker room again, and then the warm-up began, with highlights of the Rockets players constantly playing on the big screen.
At 9:30 a.m. bei jing time and 7:30 p.m. local time in Houston, the China Derby, which has attracted much attention in China, between Chen Jie's Chicago Bulls and Yao Ming's Houston Rockets, officially started.
The Bulls players came out first, and Chen Jie was introduced last. When Chen Jie came on the stage, there were not many boos, but a lot of cheers and applause.
As for Houston, the first person to appear was Yao Ming. His appearance ignited the enthusiasm of the fans, and the last person to appear was Tracy McGrady. When McGrady stood up from the bench, everyone on the scene
The atmosphere has reached its peak.
And in the midst of the roaring and tsunami-like shouts, the ten starting players from both teams came on the field, the referee came on the scene, and the game was about to begin.
There were no personnel changes in Chicago. Duhong and Chenjie partnered in the backcourt, Griffin and Chandler partnered in the front line, and Eddy Curry was still the starting center. Although Noccioni made a buzzer beater in the last game, in the end Skiles
He was not immediately moved to the starting position.
As for the Rockets, as expected, Sula, Tracy McGrady, Jackson, Howard, and Yao Ming.
