Chapter 348 Why didn't you pass the ball to Chen Jie?
Although the Mavericks started in a very good state, the fans of the Mavericks and the American Airlines Center do not dare to be optimistic too early. They are afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Because they all know that the current Bulls team, this Chen Jie, is definitely not that easy to deal with!
But immediately, a slight change in the situation on the court made the Mavericks fans really confused.
Everyone knows that as long as Chen Jie has physical strength to attack, he will definitely be the Bulls' first main offensive point. Especially recently, after Chen Jie scored consecutive high scores and almost became the most popular scorer in the league, the Bulls
In every attack, the ball basically goes to Chen Jie first, and he decides whether to take the shot or pass the ball.
Basically, if the Bulls' offense doesn't pass the ball in Chen Jie's hands, there are only two possibilities.
First, Chen Jie was not on the court at all, but the opponent's defense was so good that Chen Jie could not catch the ball at all.
The first possibility has appeared before, but the second possibility has not happened yet.
Now, the game has just begun. Of course Chen Jie is on the court, and of course he is full of energy. He has no reason not to participate in the Bulls' offense and touch the ball.
Moreover, although the Mavericks tried their best to defend Chen Jie, they really couldn't prevent Chen Jie from touching the ball.
But unfortunately, in this attack, Chen Jie did not touch the ball.
Mavericks fans should be happy. After all, if the ball is not in Chen Jie's hands, then Chen Jie, the Bulls' nuclear weapon, will not be able to exert its effect. For the Mavericks, it is definitely a good thing.
But the Mavericks fans didn't dare to be too happy because this incident was so strange.
What was the Bulls' Chris Duhon thinking?
Why didn't you give the ball to Chen Jie after taking the ball past half-time?
What was Bulls' Andy Snoccioni thinking?
Why, after receiving a pass from Chris Duhon, didn't even look where Chen Jie was and just dribbled the ball for a single?
Did they not pay attention to Chen Jie? Or did the coach specifically tell him to do this?
Why? Why?
Many fans, including many substitute players of the Mavericks, many reporters from the current news media, players on the court of the Mavericks, and the coach of the Mavericks, Old Nelson. Everyone has their minds filled with questions.
Did Du Hong have a bad relationship with Chen Jie, so he deliberately didn't pass the ball to Chen Jie?
impossible!
Some people just have this suspicion in their minds, and they are immediately denied it.
Now, with the popularity of Chen Jie, everyone knows the relationship between Chen Jie and Du Hong. They are Duke alumni and close buddies. The two of them are the best friends. How could they deliberately not
What about the pass?
Besides, at the beginning of the game, Du Hong and Chen Jie were chatting in the player tunnel about the rise of the game. During the pre-game training, the two of them even greeted Ivanka Trump and Kim Kardashian together?
How could there be a bad relationship between two people?
Besides, even if Chris Duhon or Andy Snoccioni really had a bad feeling with Chen Jie, they would not dare to deliberately ignore Chen Jie on the court and not pass the ball to Chen Jie.
What is Chen Jie's status in the Bulls? How important is Chen Jie in the Bulls' tactics, especially in the offensive tactics?
Do Chris Duhon and Andy Snoccioni dare to risk the disapproval of the world and not pass the ball to Chen Jie?
Then they are really making themselves uncomfortable and making fun of their own future!
You know, although Andy Snuccione has slowly occupied an important position in Skiles' heart, Chris Duhon has gradually become the Bulls' main starting force during Kirk Hinrich's suspension.
, but even so, everyone knows that the combined status of the two people cannot compare to Chen Jie's.
In front of Chen Jie and the two of them, Scales would definitely choose Chen Jie without hesitation.
This possibility does not exist.
So, it was Scales's instruction.
It must have been Scales who told the two people to do this before they dared.
But why did Scales do this?
What benefit does not passing the ball to Chen Jie and ignoring Chen Jie in the offense have on the Bulls? What benefit does it have on Skiles?
No one can think of it.
Maybe it's not a tactical requirement, but a matter of objective conditions.
For example, Chen Jie was injured?
Some reporters, including Smith, who has been following Ivanka Trump, also had this speculation in their minds.
I have to say that this possibility is still greater than the one just now.
After all, if Chen Jie is injured, it is also necessary for him to reduce the number of times he takes the ball and reduce the impact of the offense.
It's okay to put him on the court just to give the opponent Mavericks some deterrence.
However, looking at the impact of Chen Jie's first ball, although it was slowed down by Dirk Nowitzki's delay, it didn't look like he was injured at all.
He didn't participate much in the defense just now. How could he be injured for no reason?
Thinking of this, these media reporters began to become suspicious and doubted their own guesses.
An ordinary attack left many people at the American Airlines Center in deep thought.
Because something in this offense was too abnormal, that is, Bulls point guard Chris Duhon did not pass the ball to Chen Jie, and Bulls power forward Nocchione actually took the ball and played in isolation.
In fact, no one had thought of this possibility before.
Maybe, there won't be such a scene in the whole game.
Even if Chen Jie doesn't play every ball in singles, under normal circumstances, it's not Andy Snocchioni's turn to play in singles. His offense is more about using running positions and directing the ball to hit the ball.
There is little or no possibility of such a single.
In fact, even Dirk Nowitzki, who was defending Noccioni, didn't expect that he was caught off guard during this defense and was actually scored two points by Noccioni for a layup!
The Mavericks players on the court were also very surprised as to why the Bulls suddenly changed their tactics and let Andy Snocchione, who rarely played in isolations, start attacking in isolations.
However, unlike the audience off the court, although they were surprised, the Mavericks players on the court did not have time to think too much. They had to attack quickly.
In this Mavericks offense, Finley broke through Chen Jie and hit a layup.
However, there were not many cheers, because more people were still immersed in speculation as to why Chen Jie was not passed the ball.
And immediately, the Bulls made another attack, letting everyone know that the attack just now was not an accident, but that the Bulls had indeed made tactical adjustments.
Because this time it was Andy Snoccioni who was the main attacker.
Fans, reporters... everyone has bigger questions! (To be continued...)
ps: The update was originally supposed to be resumed on the 8th, but the network was disconnected that night, and I got on the train the next day. It took me until now to settle in, but don’t worry. After settling in, the update will be stable. From the 8th to now, I haven’t had any problems.
