Sometimes, maybe what you hope will happen will not happen, but what you dare not expect will happen, but it will happen.
In fact, in the world of basketball, this principle is also valid.
Chen Jie is like this now.
He originally thought that the referee would blow the whistle and give him a chance to make a free throw. In fact, during this physical contact in the air, although Yao Ming raised his hands high, he was suspected of fouling.
But the referee just turned a blind eye to this confrontation between the two people.
After landing, Chen Jie didn't pay attention to whether the ball went in or not. Instead, he immediately faced the referee with an innocent look in his eyes.
"Foul!" Chen Jie shouted at the referee.
The referee ignored it.
Chen Jie was helpless and just when he was about to turn around and return to defense, he suddenly heard a burst of sighs from the fans at the scene.
Turning around, Chen Jie realized that the basketball he had thrown had bounced on the rim a few times before going in!
What an unexpected surprise!
Although Chen Jie was very unhappy that he didn't get a foul just now, it's okay if the ball can be scored.
After two points, although the Bulls were still lagging behind, at least they stabilized the situation.
However, in this face-to-face confrontation between Chen Jie and Yao Ming, I really don’t know who will win and who will lose.
It’s really difficult to evaluate who gained the upper hand and who lost.
To say that Chen Jie scored a goal means he defeated Yao Ming, but everyone could see that his goal was due to luck.
But it doesn't work to say that Yao Ming defeated Chen Jie. After all, Chen Jie still scored the ball. He broke through Tracy McGrady and faced Yao Ming. After all, it was one-on-one, and he was facing two superstars from the Rockets.
.
Even if the final goal was a result of dribbling, Chen Jie was able to find such an opportunity to take a shot and almost drew a foul, which is already very good.
The three commentators in the CCTV live broadcast room looked at each other and finally came to a conclusion, that is, the first direct conversation between Yao Ming and Chen Jie in the NBA ended in a draw.
However, despite saying this, everyone also vaguely knows that this conclusion is only for this one ball. If Chen Jie cannot perform better, if the Bulls lose the ball, after Yao Ming just
In contrast to the continuous points scored, no matter how hard you look at Chen Jie, you can only admit that it was the first time the two faced each other face to face this season. And it should be the only time the two faced each other face to face this season, Yao Ming won.
After all, Yao Ming's current statistics are better this year, and the Rockets are more likely to win.
Unless both teams can advance to the finals, it will be impossible for Chen Jie to prove that he is China's number one star this season.
The Bulls and Rockets seem to have little hope of entering the finals. In the West, the Suns, Spurs, and Mavericks still compete. In the East, after the Pacers declined due to the Auburn Hills Palace incident, the Pistons were the only ones to show off.
Although the Bulls are ranked high, everyone knows that in the playoffs, the inexperienced Bulls may not be able to pass even the rival Heat, let alone challenge the Pistons.
Under such circumstances, if he loses to Yao Ming in this game, Chen Jie will have to wait until next season if he wants to become the number one star in China and Asia.
Although Chen Jie's average season statistics and team's record may be better than Yao Ming's, in terms of being the number one star in Asia or China, his performance in face-to-face competition is more convincing and targeted.
Therefore, this game is actually an opportunity for two Chinese players to compete for China's number one star and the right to speak in the future national team.
Although Yao Ming and Chen Jie are good friends, when it comes to the national team, after all, only one boss is needed. At that time, who has more say and who is more recognized, to a certain extent, this game can be decided.
As the No. 1 center in the Western Conference after O'Neal traveled east, Yao Ming is able to contribute a double-double per game to the Rockets, and he has played in the NBA for three years. Whether it is game experience or the ability to read the game, he should be able to show his talent.
Above Jay, and in the national team, Yao Ming is also more qualified.
In fact, Yao Ming is already far ahead of Chen Jie in the competition for this position.
If Yao Ming defeats Chen Jie again in this game, then there will definitely be no suspense about the ownership of this position and his status in the national team.
If Chen Jie wants to challenge Yao Ming's status as the number one star and the boss of the national team, he must win this game.
From this perspective, Chen Jie's situation is actually quite passive.
He can only obtain these if he wins, and he may not be recognized by everyone.
As for Yao Ming, as long as he performs well, even if the Rockets lose in the end, as long as it is not his fault, he still has great hope of retaining this status!
And when the three people in the CCTV broadcast room started a series of discussions about China's number one star because of the confrontation between the two Chinese players, the game on the court slowly became anxious.
After Chen Jie scored two points, the two sides began to enter a tug of war.
The Rockets' suppressive advantage over the Bulls at the beginning was no longer there, but the Rockets were not caught up by the Bulls. The two teams went back and forth, and the score gap always fluctuated by ten points.
Yao Ming made a very stable contribution. He was substituted with three minutes left in the first quarter. Yao Ming had already scored 15 points and 4 rebounds. It looked like Yao Ming would produce good data today.
And Chen Jie, after experiencing a sluggish start, gradually entered the state. Although he did not have the superstar performance in the previous games, he at least shouldered the important task of scoring for the team.
8 points, 3 assists.
This is the score sheet Chen Jie handed over in the first quarter of the game.
McGrady, who faced Chen Jie, scored 12 points and 2 assists.
At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets led the Bulls by ten points, 38-28.
Yao Ming's explosion is the key to the Rockets' lead.
At this time, because the CCTV broadcast room brought up the topic, the basketball forums of major Chinese websites and the chat rooms of the live broadcast room were almost full.
Tens of thousands of Chinese fans have made noises and all joined the discussion on the same topic.
And this topic is, Yao Ming or Chen Jie, who is the number one star of the Chinese team now!
It seems that among fans, Chen Jie's approval rate is higher than Yao Ming.
However, many experts on the Internet are still more optimistic about Yao Ming than Chen Jie! (To be continued...)
