The interview where Charles Barkley and Chen Jie were chatting more like old friends was stopped by the arena staff.
Several reporters gathered around, who were planning to collect some good material from the interviews with Charles Barkley and Chen Jie for tomorrow's news. At this moment, they were helpless to the extreme.
This pair of weirdos wasted ten minutes of our time!
In the past ten minutes, I have just listened to two people complimenting each other in a disgusting way. Damn it!
Charles Barkley finally talked about something explosive, but was stopped by the staff again. What the hell is this!
The reporters all looked very unhappy, but there was nothing they could do.
If you want to make headlines and get news, you can only wait for the press conference.
Watching Chen Jie and Charles Barkley wave and then turn and walk into the tunnel, the reporters looked at each other, nodded together, and then quickly left the arena.
They were going to the press conference room. They had to go quickly and seize a favorable terrain. Later, they had to get something out of Chen Jie's mouth. Otherwise, they would be sorry for the ten minutes they spent waiting here in vain!
Charles Barkley was not as anxious as these reporters. After chatting with Chen Jie, he returned to the TNT live broadcast room leisurely.
His work is over, and he doesn't care about breaking news or breaking news.
But he didn't know that this time, he had attracted a lot of hatred!
When Chen Jie walked back to the locker room, many Bulls players had already finished showering.
Because it is an away game, we have to move together and take the bus back to the hotel together later. Then we will fly to San Antonio early tomorrow morning. The game against the Spurs is back-to-back and will be played tomorrow night, so the time is a bit tight.
Fortunately, it only took Chen Jie two quarters to resolve the game today, so many Bulls players, especially the main players, did not feel any fatigue. In terms of physical strength, they did not have any problems.
Chris Duhon didn't play at all today, so he didn't even take a shower. At this moment, he was sitting in front of his closet, chatting with Andy Snocchione next to him.
There is undoubtedly only one protagonist in today's game, and that is Chen Jie.
But for Andy Snoccioni, today's game is also a very meaningful game.
This is his first start in his NBA career.
Throughout the game, Noccioni's performance was quite satisfactory, scoring 15 points and eight rebounds.
He didn't play a lot of playing time. With this performance, Skiles also expressed his satisfaction after the game.
At this time, Chris Duhon was congratulating Noccioni.
In the same year, Chris Duhon and Andy Snoccioni used to have a very good relationship, but Chris Duhon became the main substitute early. Later, Hinrich was suspended and Chris Duhon became the starter again.
Not counting this game, Chris Duhon has started six games. In these six games, it can be said that Chris Duhon's performance is very stable, and his position in the Bulls has been established.
In the future, regardless of whether Chris Duhon can steal the main point guard position from Hinrich, there is no doubt that Chris Duhon will be an important part of the Bulls puzzle.
Compared with Chris Duhon, the former Andy Snocchioni can be said to have been extremely degraded.
The long-term water cooler keeper has never been able to get a chance to play, cannot be included in the rotation, and may even be kicked out by the Bulls at any time.
At that time, not only Noccioni himself was very confused about the future, but even Chris Duhon was worried about his friend who became a friend in the same year.
Fortunately, these days have passed.
Now, after Noccioni's decisive victory over the Celtics, he has slowly gained recognition from Skiles, and his characteristics have also been valued and utilized by Skiles.
It can be said that Noccioni now has almost the same status as Chris Duhon. Although it is not certain in this game that Noccioni took the starting position from Eddy Curry.
But at least, he is one of the players in the regular rotation.
Moreover, as an inside player, he also has the ability to shoot from mid-range to long range. This characteristic of Nocchioni also makes him a surprise player on the Bulls' bench. Skiles often uses Nocchioni to increase the number of players.
The Bulls' on-court tactical changes.
If the Bulls' ambition lies in the long term, in building a dynasty rather than just seeking quick success in the playoffs of a certain season, there is no doubt that Noccioni and Duhon, two first-year players, will be the best choice for the Bulls.
I won't give up, but will cultivate it slowly.
While the two future stars of the Bulls were chatting, Chen Jie walked in from the door.
He is also a first-year player. Speaking of which, the Bulls' gains from this year's draft are really quite big. To a certain extent, this year's draft may determine the development of the Bulls in the next few years or even more than ten years. Don't forget
Well, in addition to two important rotation players Chris Duhon and Nocchione and an important core Chen Jie, there is also an important main force, Luol Deng, who was also selected by the Bulls this year!
However, although they are players in the same class, Chen Jie, Chris Duhon and Nocchione have different development trajectories.
The two of them are at best important puzzle pieces for the future Bulls, and Chen Jie is definitely the cornerstone of the Bulls.
With Chen Jie, the skeleton of the Bulls' big ship is there. In the future, as long as it is repaired and repaired, it can sail out to sea. Without Chen Jie, the Bulls will have to tear down and rebuild!
Chen Jie's importance to the Bulls is naturally more important than Nocchioni, Duhong, or even Luer Deng!
And Chen Jie's development is much smoother than that of the three others.
As soon as he entered this league and entered this team with a glorious history, Chen Jie was placed high hopes and was called the Bulls' hope to return to their peak!
Immediately, Chen Jie gained the attention of everyone from top to bottom of the Bulls. The veterans of the Bulls took great care of Chen Jie. The head coach of the Bulls, Skiles, was very concerned about Chen Jie's training and games.
He attaches great importance to it and even treats it as a top priority. Bulls general manager Patterson even told Skiles more than once that the results this season are not important. What is important is to let Chen Jie adapt to the league.
As long as Chen Jie can show his potential, it doesn't matter if the Bulls lose completely this season, because there is still a future.
Judging from the nearly three months of games now, the Bulls are very satisfied. Chen Jie's adaptation to this league can only be described as perfect. It seems that he was born for this league. He didn't even go through a rookie process.
The level of performance has directly entered the superstar level.
Although the time is still too short, it is not certain that Chen Jie will maintain his current level and continue to improve and surpass Michael back then. But at least, Chen Jie has rekindled hope in the city of Chicago.
Moreover, the Bulls' performance does not seem to have deteriorated because of taking care of Chen Jie and allowing Chen Jie to adapt.
They say you can't have your cake and eat it too, but now it seems that the Bulls have really found a way to have both.
In terms of results, the Bulls are now ranked second in the Eastern Conference, second only to the Pistons and surpassing the Cavaliers. After two consecutive victories in the Western Conference, the Bulls are one game ahead of the Cavaliers and only one and a half games behind the Pistons. Such development
If this continues, the Bulls may even enter the playoffs as the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. By then, they can also think about the finals!
As for Chen Jie's performance, after scoring 62 points in this game, Chen Jie once again surpassed Kobe Bryant and ranked first in the scoring list, averaging 34.3 points per game. In the assists list, Chen Jie
6.7 assists, also ranked in the top 20.
Ranked first in scoring and still in the top 20 in assists, and, you know, Chen Jie is still just a rookie!
Patterson has thanked the Bobcats and Magic more than once for giving up Chen Jie. If possible, Patterson really wants to establish a longevity ranking for these two teams.
The four first-year players, Chen Jerul Dundu Honnochioni, adapted to the league quickly and have huge development potential, second-year Hinrich's performance has become more and more stable, and Tyson Chandler has become more and more dominant...
These people are all so young, and the future of the Bulls seems to be bright and smooth! (To be continued...)
