Although Carmelo Anthony performed poorly in the first quarter and received a technical foul and was almost sent off, forcing Michael Kopp to be forced to substitute, but seeing him play, the fans at the Pepsi Center still gave him the warmest response
of cheers.
Hearing the thunderous cheers, Carmelo Anthony secretly decided that this time, he would never let Chen Jie be rampant again.
You must stop him!
Thinking of this, Carmelo Anthony subconsciously looked at Chen Jie next to him, his eyes full of determination.
Chen Jie noticed Anthony's eyes and thought to himself, what's wrong with this kid? What is he trying to do? He continues to say that he is the master of this place. Is this his territory?
Chen Jie glanced at Anthony curiously.
The eyes of the two people clashed in the air.
For the Nuggets' baseline ball, Anthony dribbled the ball directly across half court. At this time, Griffin was still on the court, so he was still the main defender on Anthony.[
He didn't press the whole court, and waited until Anthony dribbled the ball past half court before facing him.
When Anthony saw Griffin coming up, he started to turn around and dribble, blocking Griffin with his butt while observing the movement of his teammates.
Leonard kept running on the court, trying to get rid of Chen Jie and find an open position.
As the main shooting guard of the Nuggets, Leonard has still not scored a single point under Chen Jie's defense, while his opponent Chen Jie has already scored 24 points. Leonard naturally does not want to be humiliated like this.
Finally, when he came around from the inside, Kenyon Martin blocked Chen Jie for him. Leonard went around to a 45-degree angle and found an open position.
"Carmelo, pass the ball!" Leonard shouted at Anthony who was dribbling the ball.
Anthony glanced at Leonard's position and was about to pass the ball when an idea suddenly came to his mind.
He carried Griffin on his back, stopped dribbling, and at the same time turned his body to the left, making a fake pass.
This series of actions happened in a blink of an eye. Chen Jie had no time to keep up with Leonard. Griffin naturally noticed Leonard's vacancy. Seeing that Anthony was unable to pass the ball, he hesitated whether to pass the ball or not.
Go over and help Chen Jie fill his seat.
Just when Griffin hesitated, Anthony pivoted with his right foot, suddenly turned around, and dodged Griffin's defense.
Griffin felt that everything in front of him was empty. He didn't even realize where Anthony had gone or what he had done. Subconsciously, he watched to see if the ball was in Leonard's hands.
Leonard didn't have a basketball in his hand. Griffin was shocked and just about to turn around. The overwhelming cheers of the Pepsi Center fans could be heard in his ears.
While Griffin was hesitating, Anthony had already stepped into an open position and calmly hit a three-pointer.
This series of false moves was so confusing that it was no wonder Griffin was deceived.
"Carmelo Anthony..."[
Seeing Carmelo Anthony's long-lost wonderful performance, the crowd shouted excitedly. The fans cheered again.
Cameron smiled at Griffin, confidence returning to his face.
"Nice fake action!" Kenny Smith praised in the live broadcast room.
"A three-pointer from Carmelo, a very imaginative turn. After a six-minute break, Carmelo Anthony used this ball to announce that he is back. He is still the owner of this arena!" Ken
Nee Smith sings praises for Carmelo Anthony.
"It's just a ball!" Charles Barkley next to him was unhappy and began to pour cold water on it.
"I admit that Cameron's ball is very beautiful, but it is just a ball. He has only scored 11 points now, and Jay has already scored 24 points. He is far behind!" Charles Barkley said disdainfully.
"Charles, the game is only in the second quarter. If Carmelo Anthony starts to catch up now, it's still too late! Let's just keep our eyes open and watch the show! The next game will be the real Mars hitting the earth!" Kenny
Smith has obviously concluded that with Anthony's confidence coming, coupled with Chen Jie's unrelenting performance, the confrontation between the two will be more exciting and intense than the first quarter!
Charles didn't speak this time, but he actually thought so in his heart.
In any case, for a player like Carmelo Anthony, it is unrealistic to expect him to perform like he did in the first quarter for the whole game. If he scores 20 or 30 points, these methods can't stop him. Next, it depends on Chen Jieneng
We can't suppress his counterattack momentum.
During this period of time, if Anthony is allowed to pick up the rhythm, there will be suspense in the next game.
And if Chen Jie can stand up and suppress Anthony's performance at this time, the Bulls will basically have a chance of winning this game.
Although it is only the second quarter, Barkley believes that if this wave of pressure continues, it will be difficult for the Nuggets to counterattack.
He couldn't help but look expectantly at Chen Jie on the field.
And Chen Jie’s response was!
Button!
That's right, it was a dunk from shot-blocking king Marcus Camby!
Now there is an uproar and a moment of crows.
Marcus Camby looked blank, not knowing how he did it.
Anthony, who had just regained his confidence, stood outside the three-point line, looking at Chen Jie's roaring back with a look of silence on his face.
"Good shot, beautiful, Jay's one-stop service, he broke through five defensive players of the Nuggets, and then hit Marcus Camby with a powerful dunk. Beautiful, really beautiful!" Charles Barker
When Lee saw this ball, he almost roared with passion.
Now on the big screen, the slow motion of just now starts to play.
After Carmelo Anthony made a three-pointer, he beat his chest and yelled, with a confident smile on his face.
Chen Jie glanced at Anthony and curled his lips disdainfully.
Then, Antonio Davis sent a baseline ball, which should have been passed directly to Frank, but when he saw Chen Jie coming to ask for the ball, Antonio Davis chose to pass the ball to Chen Jie.
After receiving the ball, Chen Jie suddenly started to accelerate. Obviously, the Nuggets players were unprepared.
In the center circle, Leonard stepped forward to delay Chen Jie's breakthrough, but Chen Jie dribbled from behind and easily passed Leonard.
After passing Leonard, Chen Jie sped away from Carmelo Anthony. Carmelo Anthony stretched out his hand to grab Chen Jie but failed.
Outside the three-point line, the Nuggets backup point guard stepped forward to draw an offensive foul on Chen Jie, but Chen Jie turned around and passed the third person on his way.
Kenyon Martin and Marcus Camby were guarding the basket. When they saw Chen Jie rushing in, Kenyon Martin came out and wanted to steal Chen Jie's ball, but Chen Jie directly hugged the ball and passed by with a fake move like a wandering step.
During this period, Chen Jie's speed did not slow down at all.
When faced with Marcus Camby's block, Chen Jie showed no fear. He faced Camby, took the ball with one hand, jumped high in the air, and smashed the ball into the air through him.
basket.
The entire offensive process actually only took five seconds, and Chen Jie single-handedly killed five Nuggets defensemen.
After the basketball went in, the referee's whistle also sounded. Marcus Camby fouled and Chen Jie made an extra penalty.
The fans at the scene were completely dumbfounded and stood there for a moment. The Pepsi Center, home of the Devils, was silent for a rare moment.
After a moment of silence, the Bulls bench roared.
All the Bulls' bench players jumped up, some waving towels, some with a look of fear, and some looking like worshipers.
Chen Jie opened his mouth and roared, full of domineering, Marcus Camby's lonely expression became the best footnote of Chen Jie's performance!
Antonio Davis rushed over as fast as he could and hit Chen Jie hard on the chest. He also yelled along with Chen Jie.
Several Bulls players quickly gathered around to celebrate with Chen Jie the dunk that was destined to become the best goal of the day!
When Chen Jie stood on the free throw line, the fans at the scene finally reacted and booed.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Chen Jie's free throws were made steadily, and his score reached 27 points.
The momentum that Carmelo Anthony had just made with a beautiful three-pointer was instantly suppressed.
Today's Chen Jie is like an impossible god.
The strong desire for revenge makes Chen Jie transform into God! (To be continued...)
