Against a school like Louisville, even if Redick really wants to play in isolation, it is estimated that Duke has a great chance of winning. What's more, he only occasionally finds opportunities to disgust Xiao Hei and Chen Jie without passing the ball, so how can he dare to be justified?
It goes against Lao K’s ideas.
After all, there are still too few players with such a distinctive personality as Chen Jie.
In the end, the game ended. Duke University beat Louisville 88-68 by 20 points and got off to a good start. The spectators who came to watch the game obviously left with satisfaction.
However, in this happy and enthusiastic atmosphere, there was one person who was frowning and looking very inappropriately.
This person is none other than Chen Jie.
In this game, he just sat on the bench and didn't play for a minute.
Even though Chen Jie had already anticipated this outcome after Lao K said those words, when it really happened, Chen Jie felt that he still couldn't accept it.
Chen Jie, who knew that he had inherited Jay Williams, actually didn't say it, but his heart was as high as the sky. He believed that he was good enough to play in the NBA. The reason why he came to Duke was firstly to find a way to enter the NBA.
A good springboard, second, is naturally to gain fame this year and strive for a good draft pick.
So NCAA, in fact, Chen Jie really didn't pay much attention to it. He even underestimated this college league, and he felt that he must be the kind of person who would sweep away the competition when he appeared.
However, I didn't expect that in the first game, he didn't even play for a minute.
This made Chen Jie, who planned to snatch the position of team boss from Redick in a matter of minutes, really unacceptable!
Therefore, after the game, when all his teammates were high-fiving each other, Chen Jie walked out of the gym without saying a word and went to the locker room alone.
Xiao Hei, who showed off his power in the second half and scored 15 rebounds and 8 blocks. He was receiving congratulations from his teammates and did not see this scene. However, the smiling old K next to him inadvertently turned his head and saw Chen Jie's back.
, he sighed unnoticed.
By the time the Duke players signaled to the audience and came to the locker room together, Chen Jie had already changed his clothes and left.
He didn't even touch the ball, so he didn't need to take a shower.
When Steve, the team's half-publicist, came over to tell Old K the news, Old K's brows knitted together again.
He saw Chen Jie's playing skills. It can be said that Old K had such high expectations for Chen Jie.
There is a saying in the American college basketball world that no player from Duke University can compare to the superstars from North Carolina in the NBA. Although this is related to Duke University’s basketball philosophy, it has to be said that Old K is actually
I am very dissatisfied with this statement.
He felt strongly that not only should Duke University play team basketball, he must also let Duke University produce a superstar who can dominate the NBA.
The last young talent, Jay Williams, was very optimistic about him, but he didn't expect him to die like that.
When Chen Jie came to the team, Old K's heart that had given up hope was once again filled with hope.
He wants Chen Jie to grow up under him and become a comprehensive superstar.
In the past few months, although Lao K did not give Chen Jie any special treatment alone, he secretly observed Chen Jie for a long time.
When it comes to basketball IQ and tactical understanding, Lao K believes that Chen Jie has no problem at all. Although his shooting is not perfect, but with practice, this will definitely not be his shortcoming. He has good physical fitness, good explosive power, and has a good understanding of the overall situation.
Good, his passing skills are top-notch, and his defense is also very active.
If we talk about Chen Jie's advantages, Lao K can name many. Moreover, what he is most satisfied with is Chen Jie's training attitude. He is active and hard-working, never absent from work and even practices extra.
This made Lao K feel that his idea might become a reality.
He is really lucky to be able to discover such a good player with talent and hard training in just one trial match.
However, slowly, Lao K discovered that Chen Jie was not so perfect either.
His shortcomings are not in his skills, but in his character.
As a young man, Chen Jie refuses to admit defeat, which is good. But the other side of not admitting defeat is that he is too self-centered.
He thinks he is right in everything and cannot listen to other people's suggestions. In fact, Lao K feels that he is a little self-confident and self-righteous.
Old K had also heard about the dispute between him and Redick. He was not surprised that a veteran bullied a rookie.
However, unlike many rookies in the past who worked hard to survive and were bullied by veterans, Chen Jie was not willing to succumb to Redick's coercion, but would occasionally fight back.
This made Lao K feel that Chen Jie was a rebellious person who dared to challenge tradition.
This is a good thing and a bad thing at the same time.
The heart is as high as the sky, Lao K has this evaluation of Chen Jie. He has seen many talented players eventually fade away because of their self-confidence, pride, and feeling that they can do anything.
Every time he felt sorry for these geniuses, Old K vowed that if he met such people again next time, he would definitely save them.
So, he decided to polish Chen Jie.
Not letting Chen Jie play today was originally arranged before the game. Chen Jie's blatant confrontation during the timeout of the game was just an excuse for Lao K.
It was just this incident that once again made Lao K firm up his decision.
This young man must be given a heavy blow. Without a blow, he will not grow or mature.
Just like the current NBA superstar Allen Iverson, Old K didn't want Chen Jie to follow this path.
Iverson, who had a falling out with Larry Brown back then, could be said to be a model of a bad boy by not participating in training. Old K felt that Chen Jie now has the possibility of developing in this direction.
Although Iverson seems to be in the ascendant now, Old K knows that he will not be prosperous for long, and his character is destined to destroy him.
If you regret it later, it will probably be too late.
Lao K doesn’t want Chen Jie to become the second Iverson.
If Chen Jie knew these thoughts of Old K, he would definitely be shocked from ear to ear, because Old K's vision was so vicious, and Iverson's development was not bad at all.
It's just a pity that Chen Jie has no way of knowing about Lao K's hard work. He has always believed that Lao K has a vain reputation and only favors star players.
Lao K did not deal with Chen Jie's unauthorized departure. After listening to Steve's report, he just nodded, sighed in his heart, and said lightly: "I understand."
It seems that there is a long way to go to train Chen Jie.

……………
Chen Jie was very lonely walking on the road. The laughter and laughter of the Duke University fans who were leaving next to him made him feel even more out of tune with this environment.
In the past, Chen Jie might have talked to Beyoncé, but now, it seems that Beyoncé and himself are just ordinary friends, and he can no longer explain his beauty. As for his brother Xiao Hei, Chen Jie feels that he is now
You should enjoy his glory instead of accompanying yourself, a person who seems to be abandoned and forgotten.
Ross?
Thinking of the future superstar he met in New York, who could now be said to be his friend, Chen Jie also smiled bitterly and shook his head. I really don't know if he still remembers him now.
Is the time spent together in those days just as simple as reminiscing?
After traveling through time, it was the first time that Chen Jie felt so lonely.
He chose to go and drink by himself.
That night, he was very drunk.
When he got home, Beyoncé looked at him in surprise.
When she smelled alcohol on his body, Beyoncé was a little disappointed and just asked softly: "What's wrong with you?"
Chen Jie shook his head and said nothing.
The next day, he missed training.
In the days after this, Chen Jie no longer had the same passion as before. Although he was criticized by Lao K once for his absence this time, he went to train obediently. However, those trainings that he thought were interesting before now seemed
Boring and boring.
After deciding to take this path, Chen Jie was confused.
He didn't know where he was going.
Duke University has played more than a dozen games, and Chen Jie is far away from playing.
He was sitting on the bench, looking at Blackie, looking at Redick, looking at Shelton, looking at Duhong, looking at all the excitement that belonged to them, and belonged to Duke University's victory.
And he seemed to be just watching quietly.
It seemed that he could only watch quietly.
No more training, every day I train, I go home, and on days when I don’t train, I go drinking.
Time flies too fast. In the blink of an eye, the first winter after time travel has arrived.
The trees on the roadside began to wither, and the city of Durham looked very depressed this season. Chen Jie, who was walking on the road, suddenly felt that he was surrounded by loneliness.
In the past six months, he has also been paying attention to the NBA. After Yao Ming's initial adaptation, he gradually became familiar with the NBA model. Now, he has begun to perform his own performances in the NBA.
and I?
Can I still enter the NBA? Chen Jie looked up to the sky and asked himself, not knowing the answer.
The TV wall on the street was playing a TNT video. Kenny Smith made a bet with Barkley. Barkley said that if Yao Ming could score 20 points in a single game, he would kiss Smith's butt.
As a result, Yao Ming did it.
When Barkley lost, Smith naturally couldn't let him kiss his butt. Instead, he brought a donkey, and Barkley was willing to accept defeat and kissed the donkey's butt.
This shot has also become a recent classic and has been broadcast by many TV stations.
After Chen Jie saw it, he just smiled bitterly.
Yao Ming can prove himself, but what about himself?
Why don't I even have a chance to prove myself?
"Are you Chinese too?" Suddenly, a clear and pleasant voice sounded in Chen Jie's ears, and the voice was actually in Chinese.
Chen Jie was stunned and turned his head.
In front of him was a pretty and lovely Chinese girl. She was about 1.67 meters tall and had a ponytail.
When meeting an old friend in a foreign land, Chen Jie smiled gently and said in Chinese that he had not used in a long time: "I am!"
