Neither Eddy Curry nor Duhon played. They were very surprised by the media watching the game on the sidelines. They whispered to each other from time to time, wondering what Scales meant by this.
Kenny Smith's attitude can be regarded as a representative.
Even Charles Barkley, who likes the Bulls because he likes Chen Jie, frowned.
However, this does not affect the normal progress of the game.
In previous Bulls games, it wasn't Eddy Curry who jumped the ball, but Chandler. In this game, it was Chandler who naturally completed the task.
Standing opposite Chandler is Marcus Camby. His jumping is no worse than Chandler's.
While the referee was still looking at his watch, Carmelo Anthony walked up to Chen Jie.
"Boy, we meet again!" Carmelo Anthony's tone of voice was like a big brother talking to an underachiever. He used the title "my boy", which was full of old-fashioned flavor.
It seems that the trick in the last NCAA finals gave Carmelo Anthony a taste of the benefits, and he wants to do it again.
Chen Jie glanced at Anthony coldly. Although McGrady and Chen Jie also played tricks, it was just a game. When eating after the game, McGrady even took it out and told it as a joke. The two are still friends.
But if Carmelo Anthony plays like this, Chen Jie will not still regard him as a friend.
In fact, Chen Jie never thought that Carmelo Anthony would be his friend.
Chen Jie would never regard a person who could sneak attack his opponent during a fight and then escape immediately as his friend.
"I'm here for revenge!" Facing Carmelo Anthony, Chen Jie did not hide his thoughts.
"Revenge. Revenge for what?" Carmelo Anthony looked puzzled. But immediately, he made a look of realization, "Oh, by the way, I remembered, that year, when did it happen, right?
, May 2003. NCAA finals, I seem to have beaten you!"
Chen Jie knew that Carmelo Anthony did this on purpose, just to anger him.
He has already been fooled once, and of course he won't be fooled this time.
Chen Jie would not allow falling down twice in the same place to happen to him.
"You still remember it. If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten it. You played very well in that game!" Carmelo Anthony deliberately retorted to provoke Chen Jie.
"But when you talk about revenge, do you mean you want to beat me in this game?" Carmelo Anthony said with a mocking look on his face.
"Boy, don't forget. This is Denver, this is the Pepsi Center. This is my place!" Carmelo Anthony continued without giving Chen Jie a chance to speak.
"Today, you will get another failure, believe me. I will give you another failure!" After Carmelo Anthony said this, he turned around and walked to his backcourt.
Chen Jie looked at Anthony's back with a smile on his face.
Cameron, you are so confident, I wonder if you will be able to laugh after the game.
The game hasn’t started yet, who wins and who loses, it’s still early!
Chen Jie didn't take Carmelo Anthony's excitement to heart and turned around, waiting for the kickoff.
"Cameron and Jay seemed to be chatting and seemed very happy. Cameron still had a smile on his face. I've never heard that the two of them have a good relationship!" Kenny Smith saw this scene before the opening.
, asked in surprise.
Charles Barkley knows more about this than Kenny Smith. After all, although Kenny Smith has also played basketball, he is not as loud-mouthed as Barkley, nor is he as expert in trash talking as Barkley.
"I think the two of them are not friends. What they are talking about is not nonsense like it's a nice day today. If I were Cameron, I would definitely greet Jay, wish him a happy game at the Pepsi Center, and then tell him,
This is my territory." Buckley smiled maliciously.
Kenny Smith looked embarrassed. Only then did he realize that Cameron and Jay were talking trash to each other.
I've been explaining it for so long, but I didn't expect to make a joke about the two of them being friends.
"Ahem, I heard that before the NCAA finals, Cameron used trash talk to stimulate Jay, and then made Jay fall into singles, causing the game to fail. Does Cameron plan to use the same method again today? No.
I wonder if Jay will be fooled. You know, Jay is actually a player with a very good temper! Although he is usually a gentleman, his temper is very stubborn!" Kenny Smith quickly changed the subject.
"I believe Jay, he won't be fooled a second time!" Barkley said matter-of-factly.
While the two people were talking, the game started.
Marcus Camby and Chandler jumped the ball, Camby won, and he successfully passed the ball to Anthony.
Anthony passed the ball to Miller and then ran upfield.
Frank Williams looked very nervous. This was his first start in a long time. He followed Miller closely, but he kept following Miller's changes of direction, and his body was swaying for a while.
There was a burst of laughter from the scene.
"Frank was fooled by Miller like a fool. But Miller was too unreasonable. You have to know that Frank is the third substitute in the Bulls, so why can't he save some face?"
Kenny Smith can be quite venomous at times, and he couldn't help but laugh when he saw Frank lose his focus several times.
Fortunately, Miller only changed direction in the center circle and did not attack directly. Frank adjusted and still followed.
However, Frank heard the roar of laughter from the fans just now very clearly. At this moment, his face was ashen.
"Boy, is it fun to sit on the swing?" Andrew Miller was dribbling the ball and stimulating Frank Williams.
"You!" Frank was obviously very angry.
"Watch out, I'm going to kill you again!" Andrew Miller said with a smile. Suddenly, he changed direction. Flack learned a lesson and knew that Miller's move was definitely a fake move again, so he didn't move.
But I didn't expect that Miller would really break through from here this time.
Chen Jie, who was next to him, quickly dropped Leonard and came to cover for Frank. Miller shook his hand and the ball went into Leonard's hands. Griffin dropped Anthony and went to attack Leonard who was about to shoot. Unexpectedly, Leonard
It was just a fake move. Seeing Griffin coming over, he passed the ball directly to Anthony.
Anthony was outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle. After receiving the ball, he opened his hand and made a three-pointer.
Accompanied by the cheers of the fans, the ball hit the net.
While retreating, Anthony made a three-point gesture towards Chen Jie.
"Boy, I told you, this is my territory!"
Chen Jie's face was cold and he ignored Anthony.
"Frank, what's the matter with you?" Chen Jie was a newcomer after all. He was embarrassed to talk to Frank who had been playing for three years, but Griffin was an old man. He asked loudly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Frank apologized repeatedly. He was really played hard by Miller just now.
"Hurry up and focus your attention. Don't forget, this is our battle of revenge!" Griffin said coldly.
Frank nodded repeatedly.
"Cameron felt good today. He hit a three-pointer in the opening game, which gave the away Chicagoans a showdown. However, this goal was mainly due to Chicago point guard Frank Williams. He was like a clown, letting Andrew Mi
Le passed by and we could say, Chris, I miss you, Kirk Hinrich, did I miss you? Scales, did you see that? This is your third point guard, and he's
Like a clown!" Kenny Smith laughed in the studio.
Buckley's face turned pale.
"Damn, what is Frank doing! Why don't you go after Andrew? Damn, why isn't Chris up? If you lose this game, I swear, Scott, I'm going to kick your ass!"
"Hahaha!" Kenny Smith laughed after hearing Barkley's complaint.
On the court, Chandler sent a baseline ball to Frank Williams.
Andrew Miller led the entire defense.
"Boy, was it fun just now? Do you want to do it again?" Miller opened his arms to defend and spat trash talk.
It seems like the entire Nuggets team has been infected by Anthony.
"You are looking for death!" Frank spat out these words coldly.
"Careful!" Just as Frank hit Miller back, he suddenly heard his teammates yelling.
Immediately afterwards, he heard a gust of wind next to him, and a player wearing a light blue jersey ran over at lightning speed.
Carmelo Anthony!
He stole the ball from Frank. At this time, the Bulls' backcourt was empty, and Anthony took the lead... (To be continued...)
ps: Originally, I wanted to give the chapter titles something like a Revenge series, but then I thought, in that case, it would take several chapters to finish, so I just gave each chapter a title!
