Chapter 403 The Woman Appearing at the United Center
On this day of training, the Bulls basically resumed training in the morning and conducted some tactical training in the afternoon.
However, the training for Kwame Brown continued from morning to afternoon.
Because Chen Jie and Skiles came prepared, Kwame Brown's training has been going very smoothly. Although it is not that such a day of training has transformed Kwame Brown, at least, this is a
A good start.
This day's training allowed Skiles to discover Kwame Brown's strengths and weaknesses, and he also became determined to improve Kwame Brown.
This day's training also made Kwame Brown like the atmosphere of the Bulls. At least after this day's training, he felt that his confidence had returned. In his heart, Kwame Brown began to have expectations for the future.
Everything looks so beautiful.
However, some things will always come when they are supposed to come.
The day after Kwame Brown practiced with the Bulls, they ushered in their second home opponent for the second consecutive time, which happened to be Kwame Brown's old club, the Los Angeles Lakers.
The last time the Bulls met the Los Angeles Lakers, it was more than a month ago. In that game, Chen Jie and Kobe Bryant's high scores also made the league the first to see how powerful this kid from China is in scoring.
powerful.[
At the time of that game, Chen Jie was just a promising rookie. Although the league paid attention to him, compared with players like Kobe Iverson, he was still not worth mentioning.
At the time of that game, Chen Jie's name was not even known to many people in other industries except the American basketball community.
But it was in that game. Facing Kobe Bryant, the league's most paranoid defender and now the league's number one, Chen Jie scored 43 points and led the Bulls to a victory from Los Angeles.
This also established his status.
Although in terms of personal scoring, Kobe's 49 points were higher than Chen Jie's 43 points, but after the game, even Kobe, the most defiant guy in the league, praised Chen Jie.
He is no longer on the same level as the players in Cleveland, Denver or even Miami. In my eyes, he should be on the same level as Aaron Tracy.
You can imagine what Kobe's praise means.
That is to say, since then, no other team in the league has regarded Chen Jie as a rookie.
Of course, it was also during that game that Chen Jie met Jessica Alba. After that, the scandal with her became more and more intense, which made Chen Jie famous in the United States.
Before I knew it, more than a month had passed.
The fate of the two teams has undergone earth-shaking changes. At that time, the Lakers ranked among the top four in the Western Conference, and the Bulls were only third in the Eastern Conference, far behind the Pistons.
But a month later, the Lakers lost consecutive games. In the entire December until now, they have only won three games. Although Kobe is still the best scorer in the league, he still can't help the team win. Now
, the Lakers are not even on the playoff roster.
The Bulls, on the other hand, were making great progress and were ranked first in the Eastern Conference before the game against the Pistons.
When the two teams met again, it felt like things were different.
The Bulls' main center at the time, Eddy Curry, is now wearing the Lakers jersey, and the Lakers' center, Kwame Brown, has become the Bulls' No. 54 player!
In the game between the two teams, apart from the selling point of the confrontation between Kobe and Chen Jie, there is no other focus because of the decline of the Lakers.[
Even this game was not broadcast live across the United States.
After the game between the Lakers and Bulls, many people were looking forward to their next meeting.
But now, this kind of attention is much less.
At 7:30 pm on January 11, local time in Chicago, the United States, the Chicago Bulls welcomed their second opponent at home for the second consecutive home game, the Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe Bryant, at the United Center.
Although the Chicago Bulls lost to the visiting Detroit Pistons at home in the last game, this did not affect the enthusiasm of Chicago fans. They are still full of hope for their beloved team.
For this game, the United Center was once again packed.
With so many fans present, they are naturally here to support the home team.
They are very confident that in this game, the Chicago Bulls can sweep away the decline in the previous game and defeat the Lakers, who are now in an abyss.
In addition to watching the Bulls' victory, this group of fans also came to watch another attraction, which was the confrontation between Kobe Bryant and Chen Jie. You know, the two are now the top two scorers in the league.
, such a collision will definitely be as fierce as Mars hitting the earth.
Of course, in addition to these two purposes, the fans at the United Center have one more thing to do.
Today's game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls is also the first time that two players, Kwame Brown and Eddy Curry, who have just swapped teams, face their old clubs.
The fans at the United Center saw Eddy Curry as an opponent for the first time. Today, they want to give Eddy Curry a special gift.
This gift, of course, is not applause and cheers, but boos.
In fact, originally, the fans at the United Center wanted to applaud Eddy Curry. After all, he has brought a lot of joy to the Bulls over the years.
But all this changed because of an incident yesterday.
After going to the Lakers to report, I don’t know if it was to please the new owner. During an interview, Eddy Curry slandered the Bulls. He not only scolded the players, but also the fans, saying that the atmosphere in Chicago was far inferior to that of Los Angeles.
good.
All of this, of course, made Chicago fans very angry.
If Eddy Curry praises Los Angeles in order to please the Lakers, I guess the fans at the United Center will not be angry.
But he actually slandered the Bulls, which can't be tolerated.
The fans at the United Center decided to give Eddy Curry a big gift!
This incident once again proves that Eddy Curry, a player, may be really different from ordinary people in terms of brain structure.
When the players of both teams were warming up on the court before the game, Eddy Curry received his first gift, a round of boos.
At the beginning, many players didn’t know who the fans at the United Center were booing for. Even Eddy Curry was confused. When they looked into the stands, they realized,
It turns out that the United Center fans and the player receiving special treatment are Eddy Curry.
Of course Chen Jie and others knew why.
In fact, they were also very angry at Eddy Curry's remarks. During the warm-up, no Bulls players even went to say hello to Eddy Curry.
This also makes Eddy Curry very embarrassed. Look at Kwame Brown, although he is not doing well in Los Angeles, at least he still has a few friends.
Players, including Kobe Bryant, came over one after another and exchanged greetings with Kwame Brown.
In comparison, Eddy Curry's face can be said to be completely gone.
Of course, this is something you do yourself, especially others.
In addition to greeting Kwame Brown, Kobe also said a few words to Chen Jie.
In the last game in Los Angeles, Kobe invited Chen Jie to a dinner at his home because he had the idea of poaching Chen Jie.
That time of getting along, including the subsequent games, it can be said that the two of them were very speculative.
The relationship between the two of them is pretty good now and they can be considered friends.
When Kobe Bryant came to Los Angeles, although Chen Jie did not entertain him, he still made a phone call to welcome him.
When they bumped into each other during the warm-up before the game, of course the two of them had a few words to say.
It can be seen that compared to the last time, Kobe's mood now can be said to be quite bad.
This is natural. After all, the last time they met, the Lakers were fourth in the Western Conference. Entering the playoffs was a sure thing. But now, the Lakers are ranked ninth in the Western Conference, not even within the playoff rankings.
, Kobe's mood is certainly not as good as last time.
However, even so, Kobe still greeted Chen Jie warmly.
But hello is hello. When two people compete, they will still try their best. This is also a sign of respect for their friends.
In fact, both teams are bound to win this game. The Lakers need to win this game to stop their decline, and the Bulls also need to win this game to prove that their last loss to the Pistons was just an accident.
.
One can imagine how intense this competition will be.
When the players were warming up before the game, the stands at the United Center were already packed.
After the warm-up, when the players from the two teams returned to the locker room to make final preparations, Chen Jie waved and greeted the fans in the stands, which received bursts of cheers.
At this time, Chen Jie did not notice that next to the media box, a woman, a beautiful woman, was staring at Chen Jie closely.
There was even some haziness in her eyes.
It could be vaguely seen that she seemed to be crying.
She just looked at Chen Jie's back and murmured: "I haven't seen you for so long. I don't know if you still remember me. Chen, now you have become a superstar in the league, but I am still an ordinary person."
Girl. Is the distance between us getting farther and farther?"
As she muttered to herself, the woman's expression became more and more resentful. She stared at Chen Jie's back, her mind drifting to nowhere.
At this time, the friend sitting next to her said: "Beyoncé, what are you looking at? Did you see it? It's the bad guy, he is Jay Sean!"
Beyoncé!
When she heard this, she turned around, glanced at her friend Ruth next to her, and nodded slightly: "I know!"
This woman is the female reporter who clashed with Chen Jie at the press conference the day before yesterday, "Ruth" from Time Magazine.
When she heard Beyoncé's words, she nodded and thought to herself, Jayshawn, hum, I'm not afraid of you now. I have Beyoncé, and she will support me! (To be continued...)
