Chen Jie was like an angry lion, and Tracy McGrady opened his eyes, which had been gloomy for a long time, and concentrated. At the same moment, the number one star of the two teams began to devote himself to the game.
At his best, although Chen Jie's strength is still not as good as McGrady's, under the Bulls' system, Chen Jie's contribution to the team is not necessarily any less than McGrady's.
Chen Jie can't guard Tracy McGrady, and it's even difficult to restrict him, but McGrady can't guard Chen Jie!
He is tall and has long arms and can block shots. He can interfere with Chen Jie when he shoots or lays up. But at this critical moment, how could Scales be stupid enough to let Chen Jie defend and then attack in singles?
Where is Maddie?
Chen Jie is the core of the Bulls. There are many tactics in the Bulls that are designed with Chen Jie as the center. Every time he attacks, Chen Jie will find a way to get rid of Tracy McGrady, or use running positions, or use teammates to cover, and once
After getting rid of McGrady like this, how can the rest of the Rockets guard Chen Jie? Even if McGrady returns at this time, he has actually lost his best position, and Chen Jie can still score.
If you look at it this way, it is said that Chen Jie and McGrady are 1 on 1, but in fact the entire Bulls have gathered their strength for Chen Jie to fight against McGrady. It can be seen that Chen Jie's strength is still somewhat behind McGrady.
Of course, he is still a first-year rookie, and Tracy McGrady is a long-established superstar. It is already remarkable that Chen Jie can perform at his current level. Even the most picky media will probably have to praise Chen Jie at this moment.
Having Chen Jie is enough to offset McGrady's threat. If the two of them can be considered one-on-one, then the Rockets' advantage will be obvious.
They also have Yao Ming, and the Bulls don't have a second star who can stand alone.[
If Luer Deng and Hinrich were here, maybe the two of them together would be enough to make a stable contribution besides Chen Jie.
But now, Chandler, Duhon, Griffin and Eddie Curry, none of the four can compare to Yao Ming.
Eddie Curry originally had a lot of promise. Although he is not at the same level as Yao Ming, his potential is greater. At least he is still qualified and capable to compete with Yao Ming. It is just a pity. Maybe it is because Chen Jie came.
After that, Eddy Curry got the ball less often. Maybe it was because he had no passion for the game. Now Eddy Curry has completely become a soy sauce and a salary-earning existence. If it weren't for the Bulls
The team really can't find a good center, and I'm afraid his main position has been lost a long time ago.
In this game, it is basically impossible to expect him to play against Yao Ming.
As for Chandler, on the defensive end, Chandler could barely hold his own against Yao Ming, but on the offensive end, Chandler had no chance of posing any threat to Yao Ming.
In fact, the common strategy used by many teams against Yao Ming is to put pressure on Yao Ming on the offensive end, either to put Yao Ming into a crisis of too many fouls or to put Yao Ming into a physical crisis. However, the Bulls cannot learn from the experience of other teams.
The reason is that the two Bulls insiders, Eddy Curry and Chandler, cannot pose any threat to Yao Ming in the paint.
In fact, in this entire game, there are still seven minutes left in the fourth quarter. Yao Ming only committed two fouls, and these two fouls were all attributed to Chen Jie.
Eddy Curry never beat Yao Ming in a serious post-up game in the entire game! Chandler only had alley-oops and two tip-ins.
The inside method puts pressure on Yao Ming's defense, and the method causes damage to Yao Ming on the offensive end and consumes Yao Ming's energy. This directly leads to the fact that Yao Ming is still active and vigorous until now. He has become a big help to Tracy McGrady and a threat on defense and offense.
It all made the Bulls very uncomfortable.
If there is no foul danger, Yao Ming can boldly help defend. With such a tall man, it will be difficult for Chen Jie or Du Hong to break through.
Without a physical crisis, Yao Ming would have enough energy to attack, and his offensive shooting percentage would not drop, becoming the Rockets' second stable scoring point besides Tracy McGrady.
And to a certain extent, Yao Ming's performance is almost the winner of this game.
When Chen Jie and Tracy McGrady were evenly matched, Yao Ming succeeded in two consecutive inside singles, bringing the score gap back to more than 10 points with six minutes left in the fourth quarter.
The 11-point gap made Rockets fans and players feel relieved that it was not so dangerous.[
Skiles, on the other hand, could only call a timeout in a hurry and arrange corresponding tactics in response to Yao Ming's outburst.
Yao's song resounded throughout Toyota Center at this moment.
"Yao Ming, Yao Ming, Yao Ming, Yao Ming, Yao Ming..."
The rhythmic music made the entire Toyota Center feel like a sea of joy.
Van Gundy's frown finally relaxed a little. Having this big man around is really reassuring sometimes.
McGrady also had a smile on his face. Yao Ming's performance satisfied him very much. This is a good teammate. What's Suratelon? Lu, it's totally funny!
In fact, a large part of the reason McGrady came to the Rockets was related to Yao Ming.
With such a high-quality center, McGrady feels that he can see hope of a championship.
And now, he has indeed seen it.
The mm combination has also become one of the most feared combinations in the league.
Looking at the big man's honest smile, McGrady's joy was undisguised.
On the other side, Chen Jie, who was slowly walking off the field, glanced at Yao Ming's tall background and felt worried in his heart.
McGrady, although he knows that he has a gap, at least he can work hard and work hard to limit it. Even if he is not as good as McGrady, he can make up for it through hard work. But what should Yao Ming do?
You can't run inside to defend against Yao Ming, right?
What's more, even if that were the case, he might not be able to guard against Yao Ming?
Is it really just watching Yao Ming gradually open up the score that he finally recovered?
Is it true that this game was lost to Yao Ming?
At this moment, Chen Jie felt that it would be a great thing to have Yao Ming in his team!
Involuntarily, Chen Jie thought of the man in Los Angeles, that piece of jade. If he was given confidence and time, maybe he could catch up with Yao Ming?!
Chen Jie now wants to broker this deal even more.
Seeing that the talented Eddy Curry has basically become a sidekick now, Chen Jie is wondering if he should do something this winter, the winter trading period?
Do you want to make this suggestion yourself?
