The Bulls players immediately fell into a brief silence after Skiles left.
However, this silence was quickly broken.
"Guys!" The one who stood up was Antonio Davis, the boss of the Bulls' locker room and currently holding the highest salary in the Bulls.
As a veteran, he felt it was necessary for him to stand up at this time.
Although the core of the Bulls is Chen Jie and Chen Jie should step up, after all, Chen Jie is still a young man and a rookie. He himself is not very mature yet. How can he be expected to help other teammates?
Therefore, Antonio Davis did not give in, he stood up without hesitation.
Hearing Antonio Davis speak, the eyes of other Bulls players turned around.
"Guys." Antonio Davis looked around at the group of teammates fighting alongside him, and then said, "The coach is right. We are still in the lead now. Why should we blame others here? Do we lose?
Didn’t win the game? No! We haven’t lost yet, and we still have great hope of winning. So what if they were last year’s championship. That was last year too. We should look forward. The future belongs to us in Chicago. No one can compete with us.
We are stronger. We have been to the four away games in the Western Conference, and we have been to the Devils home game in Denver. Why are we still afraid of the Detroit Pistons?"
After Antonio Davis finished speaking, Skiles outside the door showed a smile on his face. It is indeed worthwhile to receive such a large salary. Although he did not contribute much on the field, he was very important to the team in the locker room.
With a person like Antonio, the coach can rest assured.
Just when Scales was thinking this, a voice sounded again from the door.
"good!"
Hearing this voice, Scales' heart tightened.
He knew that the owner of this voice was Chen Jie, the most critical player in Skiles' plan.
In fact, when Scales reprimanded Chen Jie just now, he hesitated in his heart. He was afraid that his reprimand would make Chen Jie less confident and ruin the player.
To be honest, Skiles attaches great importance to Chen Jie to an extreme. Even in Skiles' heart, it doesn't matter that all the other Bulls players are gone. As long as Chen Jie is still there, Skiles will
Kelce has the confidence to build a team that is at least championship level based on Chen Jie. These days, good combo guards are so hard to find.
However, as Scales told Stephen, even though he was worried that Chen Jie would be less confident because of this, Scales still reprimanded Chen Jie.
Because Skiles believes that a good player should not only have good skills, but also have a good psychological quality. If he dies when he encounters a blow, then he is destined to not be a big player. Even if he does not have his own reprimand, he will not be able to succeed in the future.
There must have been other blows. It is impossible to expect him to be protected and grow in the greenhouse forever.
There are countless examples of this in history, and without exception they all failed.
Skiles doesn't want Chen Jie to be next.
But now, standing at the door, Scales is waiting to see what Chen Jie will say.
He wanted to see if Chen Jie, a player, was worth his investment.
"good!"
Chen Jie stood up and took over what Antonio Davis said. In the locker room, Antonio Davis is the boss. Chen Jie usually hangs out with his teammates and has no prestige at all. After all, he is still a rookie.
, it is a bit absurd for a rookie to become the boss of the locker room after he has entered the team.
In addition, Chen Jie is not an arrogant person, and he does not want everyone to listen to him. After all, there are actually a lot of veterans in the locker room who have been in the league for many years. These people have a lot to learn.
, so Chen Jie did not establish his status in the locker room.
But even so, when it comes to serious matters, Chen Jie's words still have a certain weight.
After all, on the court, Chen Jie is now the absolute core of the Bulls' offense. Everyone knows what kind of status Chen Jie has in the boss's heart. He is not only a barometer of the team's performance, but also a cash cow for the boss to make money.
No one wants to offend Chen Jie!
Hearing Chen Jie speak, the Bulls players were not surprised, and all of them looked at him.
"Guys, I have to apologize to you first! I was a little too impatient in the first half. I was too eager to prove myself. I didn't hit many goals correctly."
With that said, Chen Jie bowed to the Bulls players.
When the Bulls players saw Chen Jie's action, they all looked at each other, wondering what Chen Jie was going to do.
"I just said that in the first half, I felt very uncomfortable. I felt like my offense was stuck in a swamp. I couldn't move, and I couldn't move forward or backward. This feeling is so damn annoying!"
Chen Jie's complaint made Scales' heart sink outside the door.
But immediately, Chen Jie's next sentence made Scales' expression change again.
"Yes, the Pistons are very strong, but maybe now, our strength is still not as good as the Pistons."
Hearing this, Scales shook his head.
Chen Jie, are you really giving up like this?
Has he really sunk like this?
Skiles didn't want to believe this, but he really heard what Chen Jie said. How could he be wrong?
Scales smiled bitterly, feeling his mind go blank.
At this moment, Chen Jie's voice came from the locker room.
"But, even so, we still don't have to be afraid of the Pistons. We are not as strong as them, but to be honest, guys, among the teams we faced before, who are we stronger than? The Spurs,
Those are also championship teams, the Rockets and the Mavericks. According to critics and analysts, these teams are also stronger than us, but in the end, we still won, right? We are a young team.
Our strength is still improving, and we will definitely surpass them one day, but now, we can still defeat them, not by stronger strength, but by this!"
Having said this, Chen Jie clenched his fist and shook it in front of his teammates.
"Fight hard. We can fight better than them. They can work very hard. We can give 12 points. They can give 12 points. We can give 14 points. As long as we dare to fight, no matter what kind of team we are, we can win.
We have to win! Guys, there is no need for us to belittle ourselves. We have not been afraid of anyone at the United Center. No matter what team it is, as long as we dare to fight and give 100% of our efforts, we will win!"
Chen Jie's words resonated with the Bulls players.
Yes, the Bulls are a young team and they do not have absolute strength. In fact, from the beginning of this season, they have been standing as challengers to challenge the powerful players in the league. They can do their best on their own.
With his spirit, he fought against powerful enemies one after another, such as the Spurs, Rockets, Mavericks, and Heat. These teams are all desperate ghosts lying under the hooves of the Bulls.
Maybe a series of victories made the Bulls players slowly forget their roles. When the game didn't go smoothly, they started to complain and lost their true feelings.
But now, Chen Jie's words made them suddenly realize.
"Yes, we are still young, we can afford to lose, we don't need to think too much, we still have to keep fighting!"
"Fight, in the second half, we will fight the Pistons on our own territory!"
"Desperately!" "Desperately!"
The voices rang out one by one, and the Bulls players were all excited, confident, and morale, and they returned to this team again.
Outside the door, Scales' eyes couldn't help but moisten when he heard the sounds in the locker room.
Guys, I read you right.
Guys, I read you right!
Chen Jie, I read you right!
Scales said these words silently in his heart. When he heard that his disciples were about to come out of the locker room, Scales quickly wiped the corners of his eyes and walked away quickly.
At this time, the door to the locker room was pushed open, and a group of players who looked like they had been beaten to death rushed out of the locker room. (To be continued...)
