During the pre-game warm-up, Chen Jie did not say hello to anyone from the Nuggets. After entering the league, he had not played against the Nuggets, and he had no friendship with these Nuggets players.
And it seems that the Nuggets players don't like Chen Jie, a popular young player in the league, and they don't take the initiative to talk to him.
But this is good, at least Chen Jie can concentrate on warming up.
In the Houston game, the reason why Chen Jie did not perform well in the first half was certainly related to the atmosphere at the moment when he was picked up by the Rockets and Bears in the away game, but it also had something to do with not having enough time to greet McGrady and Yao Ming before the game.
I didn't warm up my body. After I came on the field, my hands felt cold and my movements were stiff. Although it was just a little bit colder and a little stiffer, I could still see clearly in the fierce confrontation.
In this game, Chen Jie can be said to have fully warmed up.
After the warm-up, the players from both sides returned to the locker room, drank some Gatorade, and some ate bananas. Naturally, the head coach would not arrange tactical explanations at this time, but would only say some intense morale words.
"Guys, everyone has seen how excited their fans are outside. It seems like they have won this game. But, will we surrender without a fight? Will we?" Skye
Charles didn't make a long speech, he just attracted the hatred to the fans. Firstly, it can reduce the pressure of the players in away games. Secondly, it can mobilize the combat effectiveness of the players, which is the best of both worlds.
"No!" Sure enough, after Scales finished speaking, the Bulls players all roared.[
Of course, this cannot be said to say that what Scales said was very inspiring. Even if what Scales said was nonsense, the players were very excited before the game.
Just look at the appearance ceremonies of NBA teams with very different personalities.
Skiles was very satisfied with the condition of his players. He turned his hands down. The Bulls players immediately became quiet.
"Okay, guys, let's go to the court now and tell the people of Denver that we, Chicago, will not be defeated even on the road. Let us use a victory to silence their fans.
Come down! Now, let's go!" After saying this, Scales opened the door to the locker room and walked out without looking back.
The Bulls players were also fully equipped and followed the coach out of the locker room.
In the passage leading to the corridor, a dozen Bulls players formed a circle.
Usually at this time, Chandler is the one responsible for stimulating the atmosphere in the circle, but today, for some reason, Chen Jie took the initiative to enter the circle.
Although Chandler was surprised, he didn't think anything of it.
Since he wants to try it, let him try it.
Chandler thought that Chen Jie wanted to play this role and was willing to give in. However, when Chen Jie walked in, he did not inspire everyone's emotions. Instead, he said this.
"There's something I need to tell everyone!"
Several Bulls teammates were stunned, wondering what Chen Jie was going to say at this time.
Chen Jie glanced at the expressions of his teammates and saw their surprise, with a firm smile on his face.
"Before the game, many reporters also mentioned it. Everyone should also know that Carmelo Anthony and I had a little history!"
After Chen Jie said these words, Du Hong's expression changed next to him.[
He had personally experienced that N finals. The tears when Duke University lost the game were still vivid in his mind. At this moment, hearing Chen Jie say these words, Du Hong recalled it subconsciously.
The scene during that game.
In that game, Chen Jie tried his best and finally fell into Xiao Hei's arms, but Duke still lost.
Du Hong gritted his teeth. He had already anticipated what Chen Jie was going to say.
"I know, it was the finals of the 2002-03 season. If I remember correctly, it was the decisive battle between Duke and Cameron at Syracuse University, right?"
Antonio Davis of the Leader asked.
Chen Jie nodded.
"Yes, in that game, Carmelo Anthony came over to stimulate me during the warm-up before the game. I was very young at the time, and when he stimulated me, I got excited. When I got to the court, I only focused on scoring and wanted to give him
Look down on it. But in the end, the team lost!" Chen Jie recalled this game, his face full of guilt.
Although it was only more than a year, or even less than two years, when thinking back to the scene at that time, Chen Jie still felt like it was a year ago.
I was young and frivolous at the time, and was stimulated by Cameron's words. Looking back now, it's really ridiculous.
"Jie, I don't blame you. You already performed very well in that game. It's because we were useless and didn't help you!" Du Hong comforted you.
Chen Jie shook his head slightly: "No, buddy, I was wrong. If I had passed the ball and not blindly played alone, we would have had a chance to win! To this day, I have not forgotten that game!"
Following Chen Jie's words, the mood of several teammates around him also changed. They all lowered their heads, and the atmosphere suddenly became dull.
If they play like this, there is no doubt that the team's morale will be low.
Although the victory is inevitable, in an arena like the Pepsi Center, facing such crazy boos from the visiting team's fans is already depressing enough. How can you still play with such emotions?
Doesn’t Chen Jie know this? If he knew, why would he still talk about it?
Are you feeling uncomfortable?
Of course Chen Jie would not be so stupid. In fact, he had other options.
"I always wanted to give myself a chance to redeem myself. The next year, I led Duke to the championship. But Cameron was no longer here at the time, and I never had the chance to face him again or defeat him!
"Chen Jie continued speaking in a low tone.
"Although reporters asked me before, I said I have never thought about revenge. But guys, let me tell you the truth, in this game, playing Denver and Cameron, I only have one thought in my mind, and that is to defeat him and get revenge.
!" Chen Jie said this with a tone of voice.
Several teammates around him raised their heads and looked at Chen Jie.
"Jie, tell me how you want us to help you!" Chandler said generously. He thought Chen Jie asked his teammates to give him more cover during the game.
Chen Jie understood what Chandler meant, but he shook his head.
"It is said that the Pepsi Center is the devil's stadium of the league. It is difficult to win a victory here. Guys, I don't ask for much. I hope that you can help me win this game for me. Okay?"
Chen Jie looked at his teammates with a hint of expectation!
Chen Jie has always been popular with the team. Even Eddie Curry has no objection to Chen Jie. In addition, everyone knows that the team management values Chen Jie. Chen Jie will definitely be the leader of the Bulls in the future.
How could they not give it a chance to sell well?
"Don't worry Jay, we will definitely win this game!" Big brother Antonio Davis spoke for the first time.
"Yes, Jay, we will win. I will fight hard!"
Tyson Chandler yelled.
Several teammates, including Griffin Frank, all chimed in!
Even Noccioni, who had always been taciturn, clenched his fists.
"I'm sorry, Jay, I can't help you in this game. But don't worry, when we play the Nuggets at home, I will continue to avenge you!" Luer Deng and Hinrich came over.
road.
Du Hong also looked guilty: "Jie, I, I can't play today. I..."
As a player who has experienced that game personally, Du Hong has a stronger desire for revenge than anyone else. He not only wants to help Chen Jie, but also wants to help himself!
However, Du Hong, who was unable to enter the arena, could only bow his head silently at this moment.
"It's okay, Chris, you are just off the court, cheering for us. You are still one of us!" Chen Jie comforted.
"Well, Chris, don't be sad. Don't worry, we will defeat the Denverites!" Chandler went up and patted Duhon on the shoulder.
"Yeah, we kicked Denver's ass, hard!" Antonio Davis continued.
"To avenge Jay and Chris, guys, take down Denver!" At this time, Chandler shouted the slogan.
"Revenge Jay and take down Denver!"
"Revenge Jay and take down Denver!"
A group of Bulls players, led by Chandler, chanted slogans in high voices. (To be continued...)
ps: This game will take several chapters to be written, but in the future, many unimportant games will be covered in one stroke. For important games, I will write more chapters. Otherwise, it will be considered a masterpiece!
