Chapter 365 The Starting Point of the Bull Dynasty and the General
In fact, when Luer Deng and Hinrich were there, although the Bulls were still not as strong as they were without Chen Jie, they were at least much better than the current embarrassment on the court.
If you think about it this way, maybe Skiles doesn't need to be so worried. After all, Hinrich and Luer Deng are just suspended, not reimbursed for the season, and they will be back soon.
By then, maybe Chen Jie won't need to be so tired.
But what Skiles is worried about is that after all, one of the two is only a first-year rookie, and the other is only a second-year rookie. They are not old players. If they are suddenly suspended from the league for such a long time, can their competitive status be improved?
Keep it?
After returning, can they continue their previous competitive level?
If Hinrich and Luer Deng still need games to recover by then, then Chen Jie will still be exhausted.
Skiles really doesn't have much confidence in this.
Another thing is that there are still problems with the team's inside line.
Hinrich Luer, Deng and Chen Jie, the three Bulls players who contribute the most on the offensive end, are all outside players.[
Although Nocchione can score inside the Bulls, his scoring is also a shot from the outside.
Chandler is just an excellent defensive player who really can't contribute much to the team on the offensive end.
This is actually one of the important reasons why the Bulls' offense cannot start without Chen Jie on the court.
Because for a team, it is obviously easy to be defended by the opponent if it only attacks from the outside. Only when both the inside and outside are open can it be at ease on the offensive end.
Only a team that combines both inside and outside can be called a real team. This is the unbreakable truth of this league.
What the Bulls lack happens to be inside offense. Otherwise, even if something happens to Chen Jie, the Bulls can still remain competitive.
The current situation is that the Bulls do not have an inside player who can attack. When Chen Jie is on the court, his outstanding personal ability can activate the Bulls' offense. Once Chen Jie is not on the court, as long as the opponent
The team is not the kind of team that has no defense at all. It can basically limit the Bulls' offense.
Thinking of this, Skiles couldn't help but think of Chen Jie's previous suggestion of exchanging Kwame Brown for Eddy Curry.
Depending on the time, if the Lakers have any intention of exchanging, the deal should have been negotiated by now, right?
Patterson has never called him. Is it because the Lakers don't want to trade Kwame Brown? Or do they feel they don't need Eddy Curry?
To put it another way, even if Kwame Brown comes, can he really help the Bulls?
Scales remained sceptical.
Just as Skiles was thinking wildly, the third quarter ended.
Seeing the scoreboard, the Bulls' lead was only 14 points left. The fans at the American Airlines Center started cheering again.
Skiles sighed, he knew that he still had to put Chen Jie on the court.[
And coincidentally, at this time, Chen Jie walked up to Scales.
"Coach, I think I need to play!" Chen Jie came over and directly challenged Scales to a fight without any hesitation.
"I know, I also plan to arrange for you to play, you rest for a few minutes, and when there are six or seven minutes left in the game, you go up!" Skiles is also used to Chen Jie's words, and it is not too big.
Surprised, he just nodded slightly.
"No, coach, I think I should play as soon as the fourth quarter begins!" To Skiles's surprise, Chen Jie did not agree to what he said, but said this instead.
After glancing at Chen Jie, Scales could understand Chen Jie's anxiety when he saw the Bulls' offense stalled, but in Scales' heart, Chen Jie still needed to rest.
He was more afraid of Chen Jie getting injured than he was afraid of losing the game.
"No, Jay, you know, you need to rest, you're too tired!" Skiles persuaded.
His plan is to let these substitute players of the Mavericks play for a while, for three or four minutes. At that time, Chen Jie will appear. As long as the Bulls are still leading, Chen Jie can lead the team to win. In this way, Chen Jie will
Jay can still rest.
But obviously, Chen Jie's ideas are different from Skiles's.
Hearing what Scales said, Chen Jie said: "Coach, I understand what you mean. You want me to rest for a while. But coach, don't you think that if I play now, I can actually take a rest?"
More?"
Chen Jie's words stunned Scales for a moment.
Seeing that Skiles was a little puzzled, Chen Jie explained: "Coach, look at Dallas, they just counterattacked like this. If we let them start this counterattack and reduce the score again, then by then, even if I
If I go on the field, I will have to fight hard, which will definitely consume a lot of my physical strength. But now, before they can really counterattack, why not I go on the field and close the score gap again, as long as there are only six minutes left.
We are still leading by about 15 points, and the people of Dallas are relieved. By then, they will probably give up. And I actually don’t need too much effort or too much consumption!"
After Chen Jie said these words, Scales fell into deep thought.
After a while, Scales figured out what Chen Jie meant.
"Yes, in that case, you can still have six minutes of rest time. And the six minutes on the court will cost you much less. You are right!" Skiles nodded to Chen Jie and agreed.
Chen Jie’s suggestion.
Chen Jie really didn't expect that he could convince Scales so easily, and he also didn't expect that Scales would admit that he was wrong and that he was right.
Chen Jie's eyes looked a little strange.
In Chen Jie's heart, coaches have always been like teachers in school. Whatever they say, no matter whether it is right or wrong, is correct. Even if they occasionally follow your suggestions, they will not say that it is because they are wrong and you are right.
But now, Chen Jie was a little surprised that Scales admitted it so honestly.
Seeing that Chen Jie still didn't leave, Skiles was stunned and asked, "What's wrong Jie?"
Chen Jie shook his head.
"Coach, it's an honor for me to meet you in my career. I believe you will lead Chicago to another peak. I like the feeling of playing under you!"
After saying this, Chen Jie turned around sharply.
Looking at Chen Jie's back, Scales, who was stunned at first, slowly showed a smile on his face.
"This boy!"
Scales shook his head slightly and smiled.
For a long time, the two biggest players in the Bulls, Skiles and Chen Jie, have a good relationship, but they have not yet reached a heart-to-heart relationship. But look now, look at Chen Jie’s tone and expression when he just said these words.
, Skiles seemed to realize that Chen Jie might really follow him wholeheartedly in the future.
Even if the general manager wanted to fire his job, Chen Jie would probably stand up and say something.
With the support of such a team's top star, Skiles understands that his position is becoming more and more stable.
This is a good thing for the Bulls, right?
Skiles was very pleased.
Maybe, really, that goal of mine is not some extravagant dream, but an ideal that is possible to achieve.
Lead the Bulls to create a new dynasty.
Repeat the legends of the 23rd.
Scales is confident now.
He glanced at Chen Jie who was getting ready to play, with a bright smile on his face.
It should be said that with him, everything is possible.
At this time, Chen Jie happened to turn around, with his back to Scales. The number behind him, No. 1, shone brightly, even more brilliantly under the lights of the stadium.
Looking at this number, Scales suddenly had a hallucination.
He felt that this No. 1 seemed to have become a legend just like No. 23 back then.
Boy, you can create a legend like him. I believe in you.
Scales looked at the number on Chen Jie's back and said this silently in his heart.
On the field, the game also started again.
No one knew that between the third and fourth quarters of the game against the Mavericks, the pair of Bulls generals had a heart-to-heart talk.
And this point in time belongs to the great Bulls dynasty! (To be continued...)
