The Pistons players didn't seem to be afraid of Chen Jie's sudden outburst in the second period. Perhaps Larry Brown had explained in advance that players like Chen Jie would definitely explode. Don't let his outburst affect your own.
State, maybe the Pistons players think they have a way to restrain Chen Jie, or maybe the Pistons players feel that even if Chen Jie scores, they can score as well. Now as long as the score gap is not widened, it will be the same when the main lineup comes back.
Can win the game.
Anyway, after Chen Jie hit a three-pointer and a mid-range shot, he didn't see from the faces of the Pistons' bench players what the faces of players from other teams might have shown when he had an outburst before.
That expression of a little surprise, a little surprise, a little fear.
It seems that the Pistons players have been mentally prepared for a long time.
They still insist on me being the main player, and their style of play has not changed due to Chen Jie's outbreak.
They were not disrupted by Chen Jie's two goals.
Especially Delfino, who is still in his first year in the league. Although he has played in professional leagues before, he is still considered a newcomer to the NBA.
Generally speaking, for such a newcomer, if the player he is guarding scores consecutive points, he will usually show a lack of confidence. But looking at Delfino, how can he not be confident at all?
Just after Chen Jie hit the mid-range shot, Delfino, instead of being unconfident and timid with the ball, made a beautiful breakthrough.
He used his speed to break through Chen Jie's defense, and then before Chandler came up to cover the defense, he passed the ball to Big Ben Wallace under the basket with a beautiful pass. Although Wallace is not good at attacking the basket
.But he will not let go of such an opportunity.
With a heavy dunk, Wallace also scored two points for the Pistons.
At this point, Scales was a little depressed.
He is confident that Chen Jie has the strength to break out, and he also believes that after Chen Jie breaks out, the Bulls will definitely be able to compete with any team.
But all of this is based on the fact that after Chen Jie's outbreak, the opposing team will lose its position and be unable to play out the pre-game arrangements. The offense will be impatient and the defense will not be confident.
In this way, the Bulls can defeat the strong with the weak many times.
But now, the Pistons are still steadily insisting on their own style of play, which makes Skiles feel that maybe those thoughts just now were just wishful thinking.
One minute has passed, and facing the Pistons' bench, the Bulls still can't open up the score. When their main lineup comes back, will they have to go back to the scene like the first quarter?
Just when Skiles was worried about the situation of the game, something happened on the court that made Skiles even more helpless.
That is, Chen Jie's attack was blocked.
Maybe he learned the lesson from Chen Jie's mid-range shot. This time, after Chen Jie broke through Delfino again, Ben Wallace quickly followed up and stood in front of Chen Jie, leaving nothing to Chen Jie.
Jay quickly hit the shot.
Chen Jie obviously did not expect this. Otherwise, he might pass the ball to Chandler, in which case Chandler would be able to score easily.
But because Chen Jie didn't expect Ben Wallace to help defend so quickly, by the time he wanted to pass the ball, he had already lost the best opportunity.
The Pistons changed positions, and Delfino quickly came to Chandler and blocked Chen Jie's passing route.
As for Chen Jie, he has to fight Ben Wallace one-on-one in the three-second zone.
It stands to reason that when Chen Jie plays alone as an inside player, he has the advantage in terms of speed and flexibility.
After changing positions, the small one hits the big one, which is actually a very easy scoring opportunity.
However, Ben Wallace is only about two meters tall. He is not a clumsy big man in the post. His speed and flexibility may indeed be inferior to Chen Jie, but in a place with such a small space under the basket,
This slight disadvantage cannot be seen by chance.
Moreover, Ben Wallace's body is very strong, which is fully utilized by Ben Wallace.
He constantly sought physical contact with Chen Jie and used his body to press the space for Chen Jie to get the ball, making it difficult for Chen Jie to even shoot.
At this time, the other Bulls players were all watched by the Pistons players. No one could come up to assist Chen Jie, and Chen Jie completely lost his path to the ball.
The DJ at the scene, the red-haired Carl, still loves his home team after all. Seeing that Chen Jie had been holding the ball for a long time and still couldn't find an opportunity to attack, the red-haired Carl couldn't help but become a little anxious. He started counting down for Chen Jie.
It's time to attack.
"7,6,5………………"
It didn't matter that he was counting down, but it made Chen Jie even more anxious.
When he heard that there were three seconds left in the attack time, Chen Jie had no choice but to force the shot.
But Wallace was so close to him, how could Chen Jie feel comfortable taking action.
He tried his best to take off, but in the end he still couldn't find the comfortable shooting feeling he had before.
Although the ball was not blocked by Wallace, his shot was still a little too forceful.
Finally, the basketball hit Lan's neck and bounced hard.
Just when the fans at the United Center saw this scene and let out a sigh, a figure suddenly leaped high, making the fans at the United Center couldn't help but light up.
It's Tyson Chandler.
This rebound!
Seeing Chandler jump up and fight for the rebound, the fans at the United Center couldn't help but get excited.
Yes, Big Ben Wallace went out to defend Chen Jie, and there was no one under their basket to protect the rebound. Although Chen Jie didn't make the shot, we still had a second chance to attack.
Thinking this way, the fans at the United Center became excited again.
Originally, Chen Jie was thinking that Chandler would grab the rebound.
He was already ready to organize another attack.
But unexpectedly, although Chandler got the rebound, he was immediately surrounded by several Pistons players after he landed. McDyess, Delfino, and Hunter surrounded Chandler.
, kept hitting the basketball in Chandler's hands.
Chandler had just landed and was not holding the basketball very steadily. Just like that, Hunter took out the bottom line of the basketball in his hand.
And just when the basketball left the baseline, it touched Chandler's arm.
This is still the Pistons' backcourt ball!
"Oh shit!"
The fans at the United Center couldn't help but feel depressed.
It's just that the team's performance is hindered. Luck is not on our side. What kind of thing is this?
The fans at the United Center really want to curse.
In the ESPN live broadcast room, Bill Walton looked very excited when he saw the ball.
"Did you see that? I said, Jay can only score one or two goals like this. The Pistons must have a way to limit him. You know, Big Ben was the best defensive player last season. The Pistons,
But last season's championship...how could they let Jay score as easily as he did in Denver?"
When Mike Breen saw that Chen Jie's offense was blocked, he did not gloat like Bill Walton. He just said lightly: "Jay's offense was blocked by the Pistons. Of course, we cannot expect one player to score consistently. However,
If the Pistons really find a way to deal with Jay from now on, then the Bulls will really be in trouble in this game!"
"You don't have to assume, Mike, they are finished. Believe me, the Pistons were last year's championship, and they are already stronger than the Bulls. The main reason why the Bulls can equal the Pistons in terms of record this season is
We still rely on the magic of the Chinese kid, but now, he is no longer magic, so tell me, what chance does the Bulls have!" For a moment, Mike Breen really couldn't think of how to answer Bill Walton's question.
On the court, Chen Jie had no time to worry about not scoring the ball. He had to quickly return to defense.
Because Delfino's advancement speed is really fast.
In the past, Chen Jie only knew that Arroyo from Puerto Rico in Latin America was so fast that even many NBA superstars couldn't do anything about it. Now he knew that Delfino's speed was not slow at all! (To be continued...)
