Regarding the debate over who is China's number one star, Chen Jie or Yao Ming, fans naturally tend to favor Chen Jie.
Not to mention Chen Jie's current image of leading the Bulls forward by himself, like a lone hero, which is easier for fans to like. The position Chen Jie plays, the point guard, is also a more popular position than center.
Furthermore, Chen Jie's playing style is very similar to the students currently fighting in high school and college basketball courts. They cannot be as tall as Yao Ming and can only follow the path of Chen Jie. Therefore, psychologically, for many fans
He said that he felt closer to Chen Jie.
It makes sense that they like Chen Jie.
But experts still favor Yao Ming.
Although the current public opinion is more in favor of Chen Jie than Yao Ming, many domestic experts are still very pragmatic on this issue.
In terms of contribution to a team, Yao Ming is higher than Chen Jie.
There is a big difference between having Yao Ming and not having Yao Ming.
In other words, if Yao Ming is in the Chinese national team, it will be first-rate in Asia and third-rate in the world. But without Yao Ming, it may not even be in the first-rate in Asia.
Now Yao Ming is as important as a cornerstone for both the Rockets and the Chinese national team.
Although it may seem that Yao Ming has nothing to shine on the court, and he is not the one with the best performance data, Yao Ming's role cannot be ignored.
In the opinion of these experts, Yao Ming plays a more critical role than Chen Jie for the Chinese team.
Chen Jie is more like a leader who leads the team forward, while Yao Ming is the cornerstone of the team. He is the person who paves the way for the team.
Maybe given time, Chen Jie can grow into a player like Yao Ming. In that case, Chen Jie will definitely be more important than Yao Ming.
But now, it is obvious that if the national team can only choose one of the two, it must choose Yao Ming, not Chen Jie!
This argument of many basketball experts made many of Chen Jie's idiot fans unhappy, and the argument gradually turned into a war of words.
The scope and duration of this scolding war exceeded everyone's expectations.
Everyone, at the beginning of the incident, did not expect it to be so far.
Even the three people in the CCTV live broadcast room, Yang Yi, Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia, did not expect that their casual comments would trigger such a commotion.
Of course, these are all things for later.
Our eyes return to this day again, the first stop of the Bulls' Western Conference road trip. The Rockets and Bulls game at the Toyota Center in Houston, Aerospace City.
In the first quarter of the game, Yao Ming was taken off for a rest in the last three minutes, while the other two key figures in the game, Chen Jie and Tracy McGrady, both played the entire first quarter.
The current Rockets rely heavily on McGrady. He often plays forty minutes in a game, which is normal.
To a certain extent, this is also one of the reasons why McGrady was plagued by injuries later on.
As for Chen Jie, it is normal for him to play the entire first quarter. During the suspension of Hinrich Luerdeng, as long as Chen Jie has no physical problems, it is possible for him to play the full 48 minutes.
Although Skiles has always wanted to reduce Chen Jie's playing time in his heart, firstly to protect Chen Jie, and secondly not to make the Bulls rely too much on Chen Jie. After all, this is not good for the development of a team, but now it seems that,
It seems Scales hasn't done that yet.
The situation is compelling.
The Bulls now seem to be ranked third in the Eastern Conference, but the gap with the following teams is not very big. If they are not careful, they may be moved out of the top eight. At this time, how dare Skiles take risks?
Taking advantage of the break between the first and second quarters, Chen Jie and McGrady, the two No. 1 stars of their respective teams, took the time to replenish their physical strength.
The expressions of the two people at this moment were surprisingly the same, with their heads lowered and their eyes turned away from the court.
It seems that both of them understand that that is their stage.
And next, they will continue to duke it out on this stage.
The one-minute rest time came soon.
Standing up from the bench, Chen Jie and Tracy McGrady looked at each other firmly, and they walked from their respective benches towards the technical stage.
The moment they stopped at the technical stage, Chen Jie and Tracy McGrady paused for a while in unison, then turned around and looked at each other.
McGrady's eyes when looking at Chen Jie were filled with the desire to fight like never before.
In the past, McGrady would only have such a look when meeting Kobe, Iverson, or his cousin Carter.
And now, a person's name needs to be added to this list, and this person is Chen Jie.
In just his rookie season, he can be recognized by a star like Tracy McGrady. No matter what the final result of the season is, I believe Chen Jie should be proud.
He succeeded!
At least now, he has been recognized by this alliance.
Although he is still young now, in the future, he will definitely have a place on the stage where the league's heroes compete!
Players from both sides returned to the court again and the game started again. The second quarter of the Chicago Bulls' away game against the Houston Rockets has begun!
Both sides put on a few substitute players. For the Rockets, Yao Ming came off the court and was replaced by Uncle Mu, the Mutombo who never knew how old he was.
Juwan Howard is still on the court, Sura comes off, and Tyronn Lue, who has been humiliated by Iverson's crotch, comes on.
As for the Rockets, Chandler mentioned the center position, and now Eddie Curry, who is becoming more and more like a soy sauce, was replaced by Nocchioni, who had just defeated the Celtics in Chicago.
Since Noccioni became famous with the winning goal, his performance in the last away game where the Bulls lost was also outstanding.
Now, he can basically get some stable playing time.
As long as Nocchione can perform at his own level, Chen Jie believes that he will be a very important player for the Bulls in the future.
Duhon is still there, and Griffin is replaced by Frank Williams.
Both sides have three main players and two substitutes. It seems that no one dares to relax easily.
The Rockets served, and McGrady took the ball directly from the backcourt to the frontcourt this time.
Chen Jie started to press McGrady after halftime.
Faced with Chen Jie's defense, McGrady was not afraid. After taking advantage of Uncle Mu's pick-and-roll, McGrady directly made a pull-up shot.
Three points, empty into the net.
Maddie raised her fingers very proudly.
Toyota Center, this action can actually be seen basically every night.
McGrady's pull-ups are always so awesome.
As for Chen Jie, who is McGrady's opponent rather than a fan, he now feels that such a confrontation is so hurtful!
After a back and forth, after Chen Jie broke through and scored two points, Tracy McGrady once again made a pull-up from outside the three-point line.
Another unreasonable three-pointer, but still scored.
The score gap widened instantly.
Toyota Center, excited!
Once the dry pull comes out, who can compete with me? (To be continued...)
