The next morning, when Chen Jie got up, it was still the same scene.
Breakfast is on the table, but Beyoncé is nowhere to be seen.
Chen Jie finished his breakfast with a wry smile and came to the training hall alone again.
Xiao Hei was given a leave, and he didn't have many friends in the team. Chen Jie felt so lonely. He didn't know whether it was because Xiao Hei was away or because Beyoncé was so cold from yesterday morning.
The injuries on his body are almost healed, and he doesn’t know what kind of magic medicine Beyoncé gave him.
This time, Chen Jie didn't meet Redick in the locker room. Redick didn't come until training.
Chen Jie lamented once again, this world is really lonely. Brothers are not here, and opponents are not here either, so how can we play basketball!
Because there is still a month left before the game, Lao K began to strengthen his tactical training, and the weight of the physical training that was just used to recover from the early stage began to weaken.
In fact, Chen Jie watched with a cold eye and had an understanding from his previous life. It can be said that he also understands the coaching philosophy of Old K and the tradition of Duke University. In a nutshell, it is based on defense and team basketball.
Chen Jie thinks it is necessary to focus on defense. After all, a team without defense may play beautiful basketball, but it will definitely not win the final victory.
Offense wins the box office, and defense wins championships. This saying circulated in the NBA, Chen Jie feels is actually correct no matter where it is placed.
Although he is not a paranoid victory maniac like Kobe Jordan, but no one likes to lose.
The tragedy of Nash's Suns team in his previous life is still fresh in Chen Jie's memory.
But, team basketball.
Chen Jie was a little disapproving.
Defense can be a team, but offense, Chen Jie shook his head, offense still needs to strengthen the individual play of important players, arrowheads like Kobe Bryant, McGrady, Yao Ming and James are the sharp weapons for attacking tough situations.
Team offense can often be a guise. After all, many blue-collar players do not have much offensive ability. The ball almost stops when it reaches their hands, which is a waste of opportunities.
For such people, just do their job well and cover. When attacking, there is no need to share the ball.
This is what Chen Jie thinks, but Lao K obviously has different ideas from him.
Basketball is about five people, and the team comes first. This is something that coach K has always emphasized. Individual heroism is very popular in the NBA and even the entire United States, but K is not interested in it.
No matter how powerful one person is, he will never be stronger than five people.
Under his hands, there has never been a superstar, which confirms Lao K's philosophy.
His players who are well-known in the NBA, such as Battier and others, are actually very good team players. When it comes to individual singles, they really can't be ranked.
But for now, Chen Jie has not had any conflicts with Lao K because of this. After all, he is a point guard. Before he has established a firm foothold in the team, Chen Jie often still organizes offense in training matches, and rarely does it.
A scene of riding alone through a level appears.
Having watched so many basketball games in his previous life, and inheriting the skills of Jay Williams in this life, Chen Jie has a good view of the overall situation. At least Lao K appreciates his performance in these days. It’s just that in comparison, he still has
Not long ago, Chen Jie's integration with several teammates was not as familiar as Du Hong's. Now, he is at most Coach K's second choice for this position.
As for Ewing, another point guard on the same team as the legendary superstar in New York who Chen Jie had never heard of in his previous life but who seemed to be somewhat famous, Chen Jie can now be considered to be firmly ahead of him.
Tactical training is boring in the eyes of many people, but Chen Jie likes it very much.
When the lines drawn on the tactical board came out with the cooperation of his teammates, Chen Jie felt that it was a very satisfying thing.
Therefore, this day's training felt like it went by very quickly.
Back home, Beyoncé was still lukewarm, and Chen Jie didn't care anymore.
He seemed to understand some things, but he seemed not to understand them at the same time.
However, it would be boring to say it out loud in Chen Jie's opinion.
At least, Chen Jie has not yet decided on such an idea.
Being friends with Beyoncé seems to be the best choice now.
The days passed very quickly.
Xiao Hei recovered from his injury and returned to the team, and Redick also returned when the wounds on his face were no longer visible.
Redick was shocked to see that Chen Jie was safe and sound, but he was not stupid enough to ask Chen Jie what happened that day. He just kept looking at Chen Jie with doubtful eyes during training, but Chen Jie simply ignored it.
However, the subsequent development was as Chen Jie expected, and Redick did not go to those bosses to plot against Chen Jie again.
His next move is to bully this rookie in the team.
However, because he and Chen Jie didn't break up with each other that day, many of Redick's bullyings were justified on the surface, such as buying donuts for teammates and carrying shoes for the boss.
To this, Chen Jie reluctantly agreed. Ba, unless you are a proud man like James, you still have to endure it if you want to get ahead. If you don't have this bit of endurance, Chen Jie feels that he will not be successful.
He behaved calmly, but Xiao Hei couldn't help it. He tried to cheer up Chen Jie several times but was stopped by Chen Jie. Every time, Chen Jie had to spend all his energy to teach Xiao Hei an ideological and political lesson.
I feel that Xiao Hei is now enlightened enough to join the party.
The relationship between Beyoncé and Chen Jie has gradually eased. Although it is not as hot as before that incident, at least they can now have dinner together and talk a few words.
Chen Jie felt that this was good, but thinking of the previous scenes where he had laughed and made trouble and held hands, Chen Jie still felt sad after all.
It really feels like things are different and people are different.
Just like that, a month flew by in the blink of an eye.
The NCAA divisional round is about to begin.
On this day, the entire Duke University was immersed in an atmosphere of excitement from top to bottom. Last year's top 16 appearance was actually a good result for many schools, but for fans of Duke University, a famous basketball school,
They are obviously not satisfied yet.
This year, they want more.
Although it is only the first game of the divisional round, and the opponent is just a little-known small school, it is still the beginning. The Chinese value a good start, and Americans seem to believe this.
Duke University also needs this opportunity to kick off the new year's campaign.
Before the game, in the team's locker room, Chen Jie changed his jersey number, leaned on a chair, and chatted casually with Xiao Hei next to him: "Who is your opponent today?"
He still doesn't know who he is going to beat today, which makes Xiao Hei a little speechless.
Actually, it’s not Chen Jie’s fault. Apart from those famous schools, Chen Jie really didn’t know much about the NCAA. He had seen the schedule before, but the name of this school was long and difficult to pronounce, so Chen Jie didn’t remember it.
live.
Xiaohei rolled his eyes, but still replied: "It seems to be Louisville, I can't remember clearly."
Duke University scores in the Atlantic League. Except for its archrival University of North Carolina, Michael Jordan's alma mater, Duke University actually doesn't really care about other teams in the league.
Although the NCAA's competition system can be described as dangerous, basically it can be said that in addition to the invitation quota, only the first place in each league can enter the final top 64, but Duke University is still not afraid.
In their opinion, in this league, defeating North Carolina is the championship.
This is their long-standing understanding, and it is also a reflection of their strength and heritage.
Louisville?
Chen Jie was stunned when he heard this name. He remembered that the year he traveled back in time, this school was showing great power in the NCAA.
But now it seems that he doesn't have much strength yet.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie didn't say anything more and just nodded.
He was not the starter today. To be on the safe side, Old K chose Du Hong, the team's old point guard. Chen Jie had no objections to this. After all, in the first game, there was no room for mistakes. If the ship capsized in the ditch, it would be a big blow to morale.
A huge blow.
However, he was holding back his breath. When he came on the court, he must perform well and prove to everyone that he, Chen Jie, was capable of filling this position at Duke University.
In the locker room, Lao K explained several important issues that need attention, but they are nothing more than commonplaces.
There are no superstars in Louisville, and Lao K has not specially arranged any tactics for xing. This time, Lao K feels that he must win. More time, still let these people who have not played in a formal game for a long time or have never experienced this kind of game.
The players of the game are looking for a feeling.
Just before the performance, Chen Jie's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a text message from Beyoncé. Come on, eon.
Chen Jie understood it and just nodded, secretly saying, Beyoncé, I can do it.
Then there was no reply, and he walked out of the locker room with his teammates and came to the stadium.
Although it cannot be said that the Cameron Arena at Duke University's home court today is full of seats, the attendance rate is objective enough. The power of the Devil's home court was revealed at this moment. When Chen Jie and the others first played, the audience was even more excited.
The mountains roared and the tsunami roared, and the momentum was extremely threatening.
Chen Jie sighed slightly, he was going to surrender without fighting.
The fans of Duke University are really crazy, so many people come to this kind of game.
In fact, he is not very clear. For a divisional game like this, the audience is usually only 60% of the audience. Unless the opponent is North Carolina, then it can be said to be an empty house.
But today is the first game of the season, so there are 20 to 30% more people than usual.
This was the first time that Chen Jie had played in front of so many people in his previous life and this one. Even though he was mentally prepared, he could not help but feel his heartbeat speeding up at this moment.
What a big scene.
Chen Jie sighed silently, not even daring to raise his head to look at the crazy audience.
The pre-match ceremony was brief but vigorous. When Chen Jie sat on the bench with his mind a little pale, the ball had already begun to jump on the court.
Duke University’s season debut has officially begun!
