Although he wanted to curse, at this time, Skiles still gave several Bulls players on the court a smile.
At the same time, Scales waved his hand to keep going.
This ball, McGrady's ball, is a complete reflection of his personal ability. No one can blame him. In fact, during this period, the Bulls players played very hard and were very good.
Skiles hopes that they can continue to do so. As for McGrady's goal, Scales hopes that it will not affect the mood of several players on the Bulls field.
Seeing that Scales was not angry, Duhon and Chandler breathed a sigh of relief. This was the most stressful game they had played in recent games.
Even if Chen Jie didn't lose in an away game before, he never felt that there was so much pressure in this game!
McGrady's three-pointer made the Toyota Center, which had just been a little quiet, become hot again.
The shouts at Toyota Center sounded as if they had already won the game.
Chen Jie, who just had no way to deal with Tracy McGrady's ball, pursed his lips slightly and his face was ashen.
Chandler, Du Hong and others felt very stressed, but Chen Jie felt that he was holding his breath.
After finally hitting a few good shots and doing a good job on defense, he didn’t expect that under such circumstances, Tracy McGrady could still hit a difficult three-pointer. Although this shot was not a crime of war, Chen Jie still felt very unhappy.
Comfortable.
After halftime with the ball, Du Hong handed the ball to Chen Jie. He could see that now Chen Jie needed to fight back. Moreover, from the perspective of improving the morale of the entire team, Chen Jie also needed to respond.
After Tracy McGrady made the three-pointer, Chen Jie, as the Bulls' star player, should have responded.
Otherwise, the Bulls' newly gained momentum will be suppressed again.
The Rockets did not deliberately cut off the connection between Chen Jie and his teammates to defend Chen Jie. The Rockets chose the tactic of using Tracy McGrady to defend one-on-one, and then if Chen Jie came in, Yao Ming would block the shot.
This tactic has been used by other teams. When Chen Jie is in good condition, he will basically not be blocked by this tactic.
But I don’t know why. Van Gundy still dared to do this. Maybe he was really confident in the Rockets’ defensive system he created.
After Chen Jie caught the ball, he faced McGrady and dribbled the ball, step by step, slowly moving left and right, looking for opportunities to break through. McGrady still opened his long arms and glided.
Chandler wanted to come out and set a pick-and-roll for Chen Jie, but Chen Jie waved his hand to stop him.
Maybe Chen Jie is still venting his anger. In short, he wants to score this ball by himself.
Changing direction and accelerating, McGrady followed closely, but Chen Jie did not throw him away.
A large pull on the ball caused Chen Jie's center of gravity to change rapidly. He took two steps back and returned to his original position. Then, before he could regain his footing, Chen Jie saw McGrady subconsciously adjust his center of gravity following him.
Jay sent the ball forward with his left hand, and then continued to move forward in the same breakthrough direction.
This series of actions was as fast as lightning.
By the time the fans at the scene saw it clearly, McGrady could only watch Chen Jie go away.
This time, Chen Jie succeeded in the one-on-one breakthrough.
But after breaking through McGrady's breakthrough, there was still no progress. The Rockets' precision-guided defensive system began to operate. Power forward, Juwan Howard, who was traded with McGrady from the Magic this year, stepped forward and delayed Chen Jie's breakthrough speed.
, retreated immediately, the other Rockets players quickly switched defenses, and what appeared in front of Chen Jie was Yao Ming!
Yao Ming raised his hands high and stood in front of Chen Jie like a giant tower.
For the first time, two players from China finally had a face-to-face competition.
Can Chen Jie break through Yao Ming's defense and score two points, or can Yao Ming successfully prevent Chen Jie's breakthrough?
Everyone is waiting to see.
The other four players of the Rockets, the other four players of the Bulls, the bench players and coaches of both teams, all the fans in the entire Toyota Center, hundreds of millions of Chinese basketball fans, and the three commentators in the CCTV broadcast room, at this moment, these
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yao Ming and Chen Jie.
Hold your breath, concentrate...
The air in the entire scene seemed to have stopped.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Chen Jie took off, and Yao Ming also took off. At this moment, he was standing in the legal collision zone. If he had made physical contact with Chen Jie while standing here, the referee would not call Chen Jie a hit with the ball and would only give Yao Ming a defensive foul.
Yao Ming, who had suffered many losses, did not make the same mistake again this time.
The jumping heights of two people are different.
Chen Jie jumped a full 80 centimeters, while Yao Ming only jumped 20 centimeters. But because of the height difference, the highest point of Yao Ming's fingertips is still higher than Chen Jie's.
Chen Jie held the basketball in both hands and raised it above his head, as if he wanted to dunk.
But after actually having physical contact with Yao Ming, Chen Jie discovered that dunking on Yao Ming's head was not that simple.
In his previous life, Chen Jie had seen many people dunk on Yao Ming, Kobe Bryant, O'Neal, Jefferson...
Chen Jie originally thought that although it would definitely not be easy to dunk Yao Ming, if they could do it, he should be able to do it too.
But at this moment, Chen Jie understood that he was wrong.
Yao Ming's defense is definitely not as bad as it looks.
Chen Jie thought about Howard's delay before, and understood in his heart that the reason for the scenes of Yao Ming being dunked in his previous life should not be Yao Ming, but Yao Ming's teammates, allowing a player with extremely good physical fitness to impact
, no matter how powerful Yao Ming is, it is impossible to guard against him.
After all, Yao Ming's jumping speed is there.
And if teammates cooperate a little, Yao Ming's defense will still put endless pressure on the players who break through.
At this moment, Chen Jie felt this.
The previous delay slowed down Chen Jie's speed. Without the impact brought by speed, it was really impossible for Chen Jie to make a dunk at this moment.
Because Yao Ming's defense is actually very good. He is a good defensive player who is underestimated!
What happened in an instant, less than a second, Chen Jie jumped into the air, and after physical contact with Yao Ming, he changed his original plan.
Drawing in his abdomen and curling up, Chen Jie wanted to draw a foul.
After shouting, Chen Jie pushed Yao Ming with his back and threw the basketball with his left hand. He hoped to hear the referee's whistle now, but he didn't expect the ball to go in.
