In the last 2.5 seconds, after running the tactics, when Chen Jie received the ball and shot, there was actually only about one second left.
This also means that after Chen Jie makes this three-pointer, the game will end immediately.
If the ball is scored, the Bulls win; if the ball is not scored, the Spurs win.
This is a real life or death decision!
After a game of fighting, after Bruce Bowen and Lillard Brown jointly restricted Chen Jie, after Ginobili's explosion after dormancy, and after Duncan's key shot.
After a whole game of hard work, now, all the results are in Chen Jie's goal.
Many people subconsciously looked towards the basket.
However, Wei Wei, who was standing behind Chen Jie and who was now the closest to Chen Jie, actually looked at the sideline between him and Chen Jie, at his feet.
On the big screen, this scene was magnified.
Everyone couldn't believe that when the opponent's core player made this crucial shot, **Vicci didn't look to see if it went in, but looked to the sideline.
Why is this?
No one knows.
Only in the TNT studio, Charles Barkley gave a one-sentence evaluation.
"**Vicci looked to the sideline. He knew that it was impossible to expect Chen Jie not to score this goal. Now, the only thing that can be expected is that Chen Jie steps on the line. Only Chen Jie's own mistakes can make the game
Victory belongs to the Spurs. Obviously, **Vitch knows this very well!"
Charles Barkley's words naturally belong to the same family.
No one knows why this is happening until **Vicci explains it himself.
But now, there is a more important thing in front of us. That is, this three-pointer. Will Chen Jie's three-pointer be scored?
The referee raised the three-point signal but did not blow the whistle.
Obviously, Chen Jie did not step on the line.
The basketball is already flying in the air.
When the entire parabolic trajectory of the basketball reaches the highest point, the game bell rings and the game ends.
The basketball started to fall.
Everyone is staring at the basketball.
The att center was silent for a moment.
And the next second.
The Bulls bench suddenly erupted into violent cheers.
Obviously, the ball went in!
After the basketball passed through a beautiful parabola, it entered the net hollowly.
The Bulls took the lead at the last minute.
103 to 102.
The Chicago Bulls won their third victory in the Western Conference, another three-game winning streak. Before the Western Conference, the Bulls lost to the Washington Wizards in an away game. Chen Jie was absent from that game.
And it seems that after Chen Jie's return, they will start a new wave of winning streak.
Chandler Nocchione, Duhon Griffin, and the four players on the court jumped to their feet the moment they saw the ball go in.
Chen Jie still seemed very calm. After seeing the ball go in, he turned his head and smiled at Scales on the bench.
Chandler and Du Hong had already rushed in front of Chen Jie, and they hugged Chen Jie one after another.
"Jay, you really got it, you got it, you got it, haha, we won. We beat the Spurs!"
Du Hong shouted excitedly.
"Jay, you are great, I love you, I love you to death!" Chandler was also a little crazy.
"Oh, damn, we won, I know, I know we won. But, Tyson, Chris, please let me go first. Damn it, I can't breathe!"
Chen Jie complained to Chandler and Du Hong.
But the two people couldn't hear it. Moreover, not only the two people couldn't hear it, but immediately all the Bulls players, both on the court and on the bench, gathered around, touching Chen Jie's hair and patting Chen Jie one by one.
's back.
Chen Jie felt that his hair must be like a chicken coop, and his back was almost red.
Damn it, isn't it just a sure kill? As for abusing me.
Chen Jie complained helplessly in his heart.
Skye was also very excited, but he was still able to remain calm. He walked to the technical stage and shook hands with Vicki who came up to him.
"Congratulations, Scott!" Vicki still maintained his grace.
Skiles smiled and said politely: "You are also very good, but obviously we have better luck!"
**Vicci shrugged, noncommittal.
The two shook hands and then let go.
Skiles walked back to the Bulls' camp to celebrate, while Vicky sought comfort from his teammates who looked solemn, helpless or bitter.
He patted his teammates on the shoulders one by one and said words of encouragement.
The fans in the att center in the stands had difficulty accepting this reality at first, but immediately, they gave the Spurs players the warmest applause.
Although they lost, the fans at the Att Center felt that they were honored even though they lost.
In the tnt studio, Charles Barkley also gave the Spurs high praise.
"This game is a typical Chicago game. They relied on the omnipotent Jay to win the game. In this season, we have seen such plots appear countless times. For this, we can't find it anymore.
There are no better words to describe it. We can only say that Jay led the Bulls to another victory. Now, what I want to say is that the Spurs, their performance in this game exceeded our expectations.
.In many teams in the league, when faced with Jay having nothing to do, the Spurs successfully restricted Jay. Well, although Jay still scored more than 40 points, we can see that Lillard Brown and Bruce Bowen
Wen and Wen's defense still had some effect on Jay! We congratulate the Chicagoans, and we also applaud San Antonio!"
"That's right!" This time, Kenny Smith nodded in agreement with Charles Barkley's words.
"The performance of the Spurs cannot be said to be bad in this game. They just met the best Jay. However, I believe that Lillard Brown will definitely become famous in one game! Just based on his performance in this game,
Lillard Brown is famous enough. Bruce Bowen, Tim Duncan. These players have also proven their abilities. The Spurs are still the most promising team in the league to compete for the championship. And the Chicagoans. We think
We have to see how long Jie’s madness can last!”
Charles Barkley nodded too.
On the court, the Bulls' celebration finally came to an end.
Coming out of the group of teammates, Chen Jie's hair was already messy.
He did not return to the locker room, but walked toward the Spurs' bench.
There, there was a person waiting for him.
who?
Kenny Smith talks about Lillard Brown, who will definitely become famous in one battle.
Of course, Chen Jie still likes to call him Xiaohei.
"Congratulations, Jay, we still lost!" Xiao Hei first congratulated, then his face immediately turned sad.
"Don't be discouraged, Xiao Hei, you have already played very well. This game was just an accident." Chen Jie was not happy because of the victory, but sincerely comforted his brother.
"No, I'm not unhappy. Jay, I'm sincere. I'm very happy to play with you again!" Xiao Hei's temper was not the kind of blaming one. So soon, a smile appeared on his face again.
"You can see it!" Chen Jie smiled slightly, "The first ball was passed directly to me!"
Mentioning this mistake, Xiao Hei looked embarrassed.
"I just saw it wrong!"
"I understand, you call me number 5!"
Chen Jie smiled.
No. 5 is Chen Jie's number when he was at Duke. When he said this, he naturally meant that Xiao Hei still thought he was at Duke.
Xiao Hei naturally understood what Chen Jie meant, but instead of continuing to joke with Chen Jie, he looked solemn.
"Actually, I really miss those days when I worked hard with you~!" Xiao Hei sighed heavily.
"Okay, my man, don't say such sad things. If you want to play ball with me, come to Chicago!" Chen Jie said quickly.
"Why didn't you come to the Spurs?" Xiao Hei looked unhappy.
“Great place in Chicago!”
“San Antonio is better!”
“Chicago is bustling!”
“San Antonio is clean!”
……………………
The two people immediately started tit-for-tat.
After a full minute, Chen Jie raised his hand: "Okay, okay, since no one can win, let's continue like this. In fact, it's not bad to be an opponent!"
"Yes. Huh, next time, Jie, just wait, I will definitely defeat you!" Xiao Hei looked determined.
"Very good, I'm waiting for that day!"
Chen Jie smiled.
The press conference after the game attracted many reporters and media.
**Veach, Tim Duncan, Skiles, and Chen Jie were sitting in the press conference room, accepting questions from reporters one by one.
Tim Duncan highly praised Chen Jie's performance. It was obvious that Duncan's attitude was very sincere.
"There is no doubt that Jay is already a superstar. There is no need for you to discuss how good Jay's performance is, because there is no need to discuss it at all. When you become accustomed to something, you won't think it is news.
, and Jay's current performance should be something we are accustomed to, he is a phenomenal player!"
Regarding Duncan's praise, Chen Jie next to him was very humble.
"Tim is a great player, and his greatness has been proven by time. Of course I hope that I can surpass Tim one day, but right now, I can't say that I am better than him. There are many things that can go into winning a game.
Factors are not enough to be used as a basis for comparison!"
When asked about the Spurs' performance, Duncan replied: "I'm very satisfied with our team's performance. Yes, we lost the game, but Jay's goal in the end was something we couldn't do anything about.
When playing, many things are like this. You obviously do your best, but you still can't get the best result. That's what happened in today's game. Yes, I am very disappointed. But we will not deny our success just because of one game.
Team, Jay is right, this is just one game, we still have many games to come, what we have to do is to adjust our mood and meet the next challenges!"
Duncan's answer was affirmed by Vicky.
"Yes, I am very satisfied with my players in this game. They strictly implemented my tactical requirements. The loss was just an accident!"
**Vicci said seriously.
At this time, a reporter asked: "Coach **Veach, do you have anything to say about Lillard Brown's defense against Jay in this game?"
"Lillard Brown did a very good job. That's right. That's it. You should also see that he has a lot of balls and successfully restricted Jay's shooting and breakthroughs. You know, many coaches in the league are still here.
I am worried about how to defend Jay. So, Lillard Brown is already very good to be able to do this. He is a great kid and I like him very much!"
**Vicci replied.
"But...Coach **Vitch, Jay still scored 52 points in this game. Do you think this can be considered a good defense?" A reporter asked his question at an inappropriate time.
**Vicci’s expression did not change.
"I think your question is wrong. I don't need to say more about what happened last night? I don't mean to offend Denver, but last night, Jay scored 50 points in the third quarter, and today, Jay scored 50 points in the fourth quarter of the game.
Scored 52 points, I think we have done a good job. You know, tonight Jay has been doing his best, but last night, for a long time, Jack was distracted!"
Duncan next to him nodded in agreement at this time.
"I think it's normal for a player like Jay to score 52 points. You can't think about him with normal people's thinking. If other players score 50 points above us, we will definitely do it.
I'll be scolded bloody, and my defense will be criticized for being like shit. But if this player is a Jay, that's a different story!"
Seeing that they couldn't find the answers they wanted from Duncan and **Vitch, the reporters turned their attention to Chen Jie.
They felt that Chen Jie would definitely not agree with Vicki and Duncan's arguments.
You know, Chen Jie is an arrogant player. If Chen Jie admits that any team has guarded him, it will be extremely difficult.
If now, Chen Jie could say something like "The Spurs' defense has no impact on me," the reporters would be excited.
But they didn't expect that Chen Jie would let them down.
When asked this question, Chen Jie responded like this.
"Yes, the Spurs' defense made me uncomfortable in this game. Lillard Brown and Bruce Bowen kept pestering me, and I never felt comfortable shooting. Score 52 points? Yes, it seems like a lot.
.But recently when I feel hot, this score can only be said to be normal. Of course, I can't ask myself to continue like this. But I have to admit that the Spurs' defense is very good."
Seeing Chen Jie actually answering like this, the reporters were speechless.
Is there something fishy here? Why is Chen Jie so talkative today?
Even cooperated with the opponent's players and coaches?
Immediately, they understood why.
It turns out that Chen Jie was doing it for Lillard Brown.
When a reporter asked **Vitch about Lillard Brown, **Vitch's words made the reporters suddenly realize.
"Lillard took the initiative. I know he is a good kid, but to be honest, I didn't expect him to play and help us. You know, Jay seemed unstoppable at that time. But Lillard told
Me, he and Jay were good friends at Duke. The two of us often trained together, and he knew Jay. That’s why I let him play, and it turns out that Lillard did what he said and did!"
Immediately, reporters asked Chen Jie for confirmation on this issue.
Chen Jie naturally wanted to take this opportunity to make his brother famous.
"Yes, Lillard Brown is my brother. We are very good brothers. He is a very good player, his physical fitness is very good. His future is bright, he has more prospects than me. I always
Think he is the kind of player he always has been!"
Chen Jie's words made the reporters sneer.
It turns out that he wanted to make his brother famous, no wonder he was so easy to talk to.
However, although they disagreed with Chen Jie's approach, the reporters decided to cooperate with Chen Jie.
After all, the overnight fame of a grassroots player is also a good gimmick for them.
They won't struggle with sales.
Having Chen Jie's brother become famous overnight, factors like this will definitely guarantee sales.
They won't stop cooperating just because they have a more than simple contempt for Chen Jie's purpose.
Of course Chen Jie had calculated this correctly.
After Lillard Brown's joke came to an end, reporters still asked questions about Vicki, whom everyone was close to, watching the sideline.
**Vicci did not hide anything, he gave his own explanation.
"Yes, Charles is right. I looked at the sideline at that time to see if Jay had stepped on the line. I knew he would definitely make the shot. Jay would not let it go when no one was guarding it. So, I just
We can expect him to step on the line and help us win!”
"So **Coach Vicki, did Jay step on the line or not?" a reporter asked maliciously.
"No, I saw it clearly. He didn't step on the line. It was a good ball. We didn't lose unfairly. I was very close at the time. He definitely didn't step on the line on that ball!" **Vicci looked serious.
Chen Jie beside him nodded secretly.
This is the magnanimity of a famous handsome man!
This press conference was generally very harmonious.
There was no war of words between the two sides, they were polite and complimented each other.
Occasionally, reporters may ask a few inappropriate questions, but the generals of both sides did not give reporters room to express themselves.
In this atmosphere, the press conference ended successfully.
Next, the Spurs will fly to Los Angeles to challenge Kobe Bryant's Lakers.
The Bulls will rest for a day in San Antonio and then fly to Dallas. Their game against the Dallas Mavericks will be held two days later.
The Dallas Mavericks are currently ranked third in the Western Conference, with a record behind the Suns and Spurs, and are also one of the league's strongest teams.
And more importantly, the Mavericks are now playing small ball, a small ball storm that is exactly the same as the Bulls' fast-playing whirlwind.
This is the first time the Bulls have faced a team of this style this season.
Can they pass the test?
Many people want to get the answer to this question.
However, before that, something caught the attention of the alliance.
The cause of the incident was what O'Neal said on the talk show when the Bulls and Spurs were playing.
"He is just lucky. Of course, this is also related to Denver's poor defense, and he takes a lot of shots. Basically all the balls in Chicago are thrown to him. If I had such an opportunity in that game, I think
, I will score at least 80 points!" (To be continued...)
ps: I am quite busy during the Chinese New Year, so I will revise it immediately. Just refresh it.
