"Just after Jay assisted Andis to hit a three-pointer, Billups immediately responded with a three-pointer. The difference between the two sides was still four points, and now, there are still five minutes left before the end of the game, and the game is getting closer and closer.
It’s getting better and better!”
In the ESPN studio, Mike Breen shouted excitedly. Obviously, both the fans and the commentators wanted to see a good game.
After Billups hit the three-pointer, he did not celebrate with much fanfare. His character was not as flamboyant as Iverson and Kobe. He just quietly ran back to the backcourt.
After taking a look at Billups's back, Chen Jie admired slightly in his heart, such an opponent is really rare.
He feels that among the players he has faced, although Billups cannot be said to be the strongest, he is definitely one of the most difficult opponents.
He has a big heart, is unbeatable, and has comprehensive skills. Is it lucky or unlucky to have such an opponent?
Everyone has their own opinions. As for Chen Jie, he feels that having such an opponent is a very lucky thing.
As long as Billups stays in the East in the next few years, James slowly grows up, and the Heat's combination of Wade and O'Neal matures, then he won't be too lonely in the East.
What’s the point of life without challenges?
Chen Jie still hopes that his career will be full of challenges one after another, so that when he stands at the top, the feeling will be even more wonderful!
Chandler sent a baseline ball at this time, and Chris Duhon easily dribbled the ball past half court.
Billups didn't press Chris Duhon.
After halftime, Billups pounced. However, when defending Duhon, Billups paid more attention not to Chris Duhon's breakthrough or shooting, but to his passing.
Now, everyone knows that when the Bulls play and the point guard dribbles the ball past halftime, he will definitely look for Chen Jie first. Only when they cannot pass the ball to Chen Jie, they will choose themselves.
beat.
As long as the basketball can be handed over to Chen Jie, the point guard will definitely pass the basketball out. Next, he will have to move. It is up to Chen Jie to shoot, break through, or pass the ball.
For the Bulls, this is their main offensive tactic.
Of course, Skiles has also practiced many sets of offensive tactics. However, these tactics are basically based on Chen Jie taking the ball and other teammates' movements to cover.
At this moment, it is Prince who is guarding Chen Jie. His arms are very long, which can interfere with Chen Jie's catching. However, Chen Jie is much stronger than Prince. Although he does not have the advantage in height and wingspan,
Chen Jie was still able to lean on Prince and easily receive the pass.
Chris Duhong saw that Chen Jie had successfully established a position on the weak side, so he quickly lobbed the ball over.
Chen Jie received the ball, turned around, and faced Prince head-on.
Facing Prince, Chen Jie did not use his signature pull-up shot.
After all, Prince's wingspan is a bit too long.
His long arms are really a nightmare for players who like to shoot from outside.
Simply put, in addition to shooting, Chen Jie can also break through.
When breaking through, although Prince's long arms can still affect you, this impact is completely negligible compared to the impact when shooting.
Chen Jie looked into Prince's eyes. He didn't start dribbling yet, but made a triple threat posture.
Prince opened his hands, one hand blocking Chen Jie's possible path, and the other hand blocking Chen Jie's eyes.
Prince's movements can be described as very cautious. Facing a player like Chen Jie, no defender dares to take it lightly, even if he is a little prince.
Chen Jie took the ball with both hands and waved it in front of Prince. Prince reached out and tried to knock Chen Jie's ball away, but since Chen Jie used such an action to confuse Prince, how could he be unprepared?
After several failed attempts by Prince, Chen Jie finally discovered a flaw in Prince's position. He smashed the basketball on the floor and started dribbling. At the same time, Chen Jie's body was also an exaggeration.
Opening his arms, Prince understood that this was Chen Jie's action before breaking through, and quickly prepared himself to move. At this time, it was a matter of competition to see who was faster.
Comparing the two of them, Chen Jie is faster.
Before Prince moved, Chen Jie used the tension in his body to rush forward in an instant. Together with the basketball, he rushed to Prince's left side and seized a favorable position.
Of course, Prince could not be thrown away by Chen Jie at this moment. He raised one hand high and put the other hand in front of Chen Jie to stop Chen Jie from moving forward.
These two actions of Prince still had an impact on Chen Jie's breakthrough. At least, Chen Jie's speed did not increase. If Chen Jie's breakthrough is usually like a sports car, then now, his breakthrough is like a sports car.
A tractor.
But even the tractor is moving forward.
So Chen Jie still moved forward, entangled with Prince.
Finally, Chen Jie reached the inside. At this time, Chen Jie was very close to the basket. He had a good choice and could finally get rid of Prince's entanglement.
Chen Jie hugged the basketball, jumped past Prince, and threw Prince away, causing Prince to lose control of himself.
However, in front of Chen Jie, Ben Wallace has already come up to help defend.
In fact, when Prince has reached this point, his task has been completed, and his delay in Chen Jie has also played an effect. Now the two Wallaces have come over, and Ben Wallace is standing in front of Chen Jie.
In front, Rasheed Wallace is also filling in next to him, and he can come up and flank Chen Jie at any time. There seems to be not much space under the basket.
Everyone thought that Chen Jie didn’t need to score the goal.
But under such circumstances, Chen Jie still took off.
Seeing Chen Jie take off, Ben Wallace also jumped up quickly, preparing to block Chen Jie's layup in the air. The two people took off at the same time, and there was Ben Wallace between Chen Jie and the basket.
To score a goal, Chen Jie had to use a high throw.
But Chen Jie didn't choose to throw high. He used the inertia of his body to make an extreme pulling action in the air.
His body passed by Ben Wallace and flew under the backboard, but his hand turned in a circle in the air, from the left side of the basket to the right side. Then, with a shake of his right hand, there was almost no trace of anything left.
At the same angle, the basketball was thrown.
While everyone was stunned by Chen Jie's action, the basketball hit the backboard and fell into the basket.
Two points scored!
Chen Jie also lost his balance and fell to the floor.
But he got up very quickly, and then ran towards the half court with his head buried in the ground.
He didn't celebrate the goal. What he was thinking about now was to quickly go back to defend because the game was already heating up.
Chen Jie's pull-up layup helped the Bulls narrow the point difference to two points!
With more than four minutes and thirty seconds left before the end of the game, the Bulls still have a chance to win!
Now, it's the Pistons' turn to attack. Many people know that now, it depends on Billups.
To a certain extent, now, it is a duel between two people.
Although every attack may not necessarily be completed by two people, at least it will be initiated by two people.
Sure enough, in the Pistons' attack, Billups kept dribbling the ball, Hamilton kept running and created opportunities for himself, and Billups' pass was just right.
However, it is a pity that Hamilton wasted this rare opportunity. His shot hit the basket and had to bounce.
Chandler and Ben Wallace competed for this rebound. However, using the advantage of being blocked in advance and the help of his teammates, Chandler easily earned the rebound, and the Bulls once again had the opportunity to chase points.
Trailing by two points, with a little more than four minutes left, Chen Jie dribbled the ball through Prince, and when he was one step away from the three-second zone, he suddenly stopped for a jump shot, and the basket hit the net.
With three minutes and fifty seconds left in the game, the two teams returned to the same starting line.
The next less than four minutes will be a crucial moment! (To be continued...)
