Although Delfino's speed is not slow, Chen Jie's speed cannot be matched either.
You know, when ABA compared Chen Jie and Jordan yesterday, in terms of speed, Chen Jie was given 9 points.
With a level of 9 points, it can be said that in the league, except for a few players who are famous for their speed, basically no one can catch up with Chen Jie.
What's more, Delfino is still running with the ball now, while Chen Jie is running without the ball.
No matter what, Chen Jie still has an advantage.
Chen Jie chased after him slowly, and finally caught up with Delfino when he was about to make a layup.
When he saw Delfino less than one step in front of him, Chen Jie was afraid of hitting him and getting called a foul, so he quickly slowed down. However, Chen Jie felt that Delfino was already within his control. At this time, if Delfino dares to make a layup, Chen Jie promises to give him a big deal and let him know that not everyone can be arrogant in the United Center.
When slowing down, Chen Jie was already ready to take off.
And Delfino, as expected, started jumping up for a layup a second later.
Seeing Delfino take off, Chen Jie also jumped up quickly.
On the bounce, Chen Jie can completely blast Delfino. In the air, Chen Jie opens his hands, as if a big net is covering Delfino's head.
It seemed that Delfino didn't have any space to shoot.
When the fans at the United Center saw this scene, they were relieved. They knew that with Chen Jie here, Delfino's fast break would not be successful.
Now the Bulls are playing against the Pistons' bench. If Delfino scores this goal, the Bulls will fall behind.
Even with the Pistons' bench, they are lagging behind. Now that the Pistons' main lineup is back, what hope does the Bulls have?
In the ESPN live broadcast room, Mike Breen saw this scene and said the same thing.
"Jay finally caught up with Carlos. It seemed that Carlos' fast break was going to end in vain. Compared with Jay, his height is too different. His jumping is not advantageous either, and he has no chance at Chen. The goal was scored by Jay’s block.”
Next to him, although Bill Walton didn't like Chen Jie very much, he had the same views on this ball as Mike Breen. After hearing what Mike Breen said, Bill Walton nodded and agreed with Mike Breen's view. There was a hint of disappointment on his face.
But no one expected that what happened in the next second left everyone stunned.
Delfino jumped in the air, facing Chen Jie's block like a big net. He was not afraid at all. He actually made a pull-bar action in the air.
His hand, which was originally going to wipe the board from the right for a layup, suddenly switched to the left.
But in fact, Chen Jie had already anticipated that Delfino might switch hands for a layup. He had already thought of this, so he was prepared in advance. His shot-blocking range actually covered both sides.
Even if Delfino chooses to layup on the left side, he will still be blocked.
Chen Jie felt that Delfino was sure to eat this hot pot.
Just when he was about to slap the basketball hard with his palm, an accident happened again. After Delfino switched the basketball to his left hand, he did not choose a layup from the left to wipe the board. Instead, he flipped his wrist and let the ball go to his left hand. The basketball came behind him and Chen Jie, and then, with a weird hook motion, he threw the basketball from the front of the basket.
He didn't choose either direction, he chose the front!
It's not that Chen Jie didn't think of this, but in this situation, when the body is still rushing forward with inertia, who can make such an action?
So although he thought about it, Chen Jie didn't try to block this angle at all.
But unexpectedly, Delfino actually found this gap and shot the basketball.
Without Chen Jie's block, this layup would have definitely gone in.
When Delfino and Chen Jie landed, the basketball happened to fall from the net.
All this happened in the blink of an eye. The fans at the United Center didn't even react. They had already stood up and cheered for Chen Jie's upcoming big pot.
But I didn't expect that the ball actually went in.
It's incredible.
The fans at the United Center didn't even know how to react at this moment.
In the ESPN live broadcast room, Mike Breen's words had just landed, and Bill Walton had already nodded in agreement. But unexpectedly, the next second, Delfino's goal hit two people in the face.
Bill Walton didn't know what to say for the first time.
But Mike Breen reacted faster: "The ball went in. The goal actually went in. Carlos, Carlos Delfino, it's incredible, it's really incredible. He used an incredible way to accomplish what everyone thought was impossible."
Mission accomplished. At this moment, he, like his Argentinian compatriot Manu Ginobili, is like a demon knife inserted into the heart of the Bulls!"
Mike Breen's evaluation is not low, and he even compared Delfino to Ginobili.
Bill Walton, who was next to him, could only nod his head at this moment.
The main players of the Pistons on the court and the main players sitting off the court couldn't help but get excited when they saw this scene.
They waved towels, jumped and jumped, cheering for their little brothers.
"Great job, Carlos!" This is Billups.
"Carlos, I realize I've fallen in love with you!" This is Rasheed Wallace.
"I like the way you play!" This is Hamilton.
"Keep it up, boy!" This is Ben Wallace.
"Beautiful, keep doing this!" This is Prince.
The top five generals of the Pistons, either off or off the court, cheered Delfino and praised him.
And Delfino seemed to be very excited, beating his chest as he ran back all the way.
In contrast, Chen Jie, who was holding the basketball under the basket, looked depressed. He didn't even know how Delfino's ball went in.
This scene seems a bit familiar.
A man who scores a goal leaves in a jubilant way, leaving the defensive player under his basket, scratching his head and unable to even figure out how the other team beat him.
It's just that in the past, Chen Jie was always the former, and his opponent was the latter.
But now, Chen Jie has become the latter.
This was the first time he experienced this feeling.
He admitted, and Chen Jie admitted that this feeling was very unpleasant, to the extreme.
Especially at home, in front of so many fans, Chen Jie became even more depressed.
When you are unhappy to the extreme, you naturally need to vent.
Chen Jie decided that he must give this Argentinian some color.
In the next attack, Chen Jie seemed to deliberately target Delfino.
In the past, when Chen Jie was depressed, his outbursts were very scary.
But today, Chen Jie made the wrong choice.
He found Delfino, who happened to be full of self-confidence.
Although with Delfino's strength, he should not be Chen Jie's opponent, but at this moment, Delfino's self-confidence is overwhelming and he is playing with great confidence. He can even compete with Chen Jie.
In the next few minutes, Hamilton didn't even need to score. For the Pistons, Delfino actually became the main offensive point.
He breaks through, shoots, and seems to get everything he wants.
On the defensive end, although Delfino still couldn't guard Chen Jie, at least occasionally, with the help of Wallace, he could put some defensive pressure on Chen Jie, making Chen Jie's offense seem to be stuck in a quagmire.
Not easy.
At this moment, Chen Jie is just like Kobe Bryant in last year's finals. He feels like he can't use all his skills and is extremely uncomfortable.
After playing like this for about three minutes, Chen Jie not only failed to help the Bulls catch up with the score, but instead allowed the Pistons to widen the point difference to 4 points.
Although it was only 4 points, you must know that this is just the Pistons' substitute lineup.
Moreover, during this process of chasing points, Chen Jie's physical exertion was definitely not small.
After paying the price, but not getting the results they wanted, the Bulls seemed to be in a really bad situation. (To be continued...)
