Seeing Chen Jie's breakthrough goal from Pavlovich, the fans at the Credit Center couldn't help but think of the super popular videos they saw on the Internet a few days ago.
The protagonist of the video is also Chen Jie.
The content of the video is a breakthrough made by Chen Jie during the game against the Dallas Mavericks.
At that time, Chen Jie grabbed a backcourt rebound and without waiting for his teammates to catch up, he dribbled the ball directly into the Mavericks' defense.
The five Mavericks players on the court had already set up a defensive formation, but Chen Jie still ignored it and charged directly towards the Mavericks basket.
Nowitzki and Terry, who were standing on the outside, had already closed the door. Everyone thought that Chen Jie's impact would be an offensive foul.
Sudden changes occur.
When Chen Jie walked in front of Terry and Nowitzki, he flipped his wrist and sent the basketball between their bodies. Then, Chen Jie unexpectedly caught up with Nowitzki and Nowitzki who were one meter apart.
Terry, grabbed control of the basketball before two people.
This video clearly shows how terrifying Chen Jie's speed is.
However, just by watching the video, many people still cannot feel the shock of the scene.
And now, Chen Jie's goal to break through Pavlovich made the fans at the Credit Center really feel how fast Chen Jie is.
Horrible, too scary.
The fans at the scene seemed to have only one word to describe Chen Jie's breakthrough.
On the court, after passing Pavlovich, Mo Williams, who was supposed to be flanking him, didn't even react. Chen Jie just went under the Cavaliers' basket.
Gooden was blocking Chandler. He didn't come to help defend. But Ilgauskas ran over.
Ilgauskas' height is quite intimidating.
However, Chen Jie has seen many such high center forwards.
No matter how good Ilgauskas is, how does he compare to Yao Ming? At most, he is a player of Dampier's level.
Chen Jie can completely abuse Dampier, so why should he be afraid of Ilgauskas?
After jumping in the air, Chen Jie and Ilgauskas made physical contact. Following the collision, Chen Jie leaned back and the basketball was thrown high at this moment.
Beep!
The referee's whistle sounded. This ball was obviously fouled by Ilgauskas.
Then, the basketball thrown by Chen Jie hit the net.
2+1!
The Cavaliers' first defense failed.
A joint defense cannot stop Chen Jie at all.
In fact, this zone defense gives Chen Jie more opportunities to break through the inside and attack the Cavaliers' two inside players.
This is not just about scoring. If Gooden and Ilgauskas get a lot of fouls in advance, how will they play in the next game?
This is a question Paul Silas had to consider.
However, this was the first goal after all, so Paul Silas decided to take a look before talking about it.
Chen Jie's free throw was made very easily.
In Charles Barkley's words, he is not sure about other aspects, but in terms of free throws, LeBron James is definitely not as good as Chen Jie.
Until now, LeBron James' free throws have been one of his weaknesses.
As an outside player, his free throw shooting rate of less than 75% is really too low.
Look at Chen Jie, so far this season, his free throw shooting percentage is around 88%.
This kind of hit rate also makes Chen Jie's breakthrough more lethal.
Because people who defend Chen Jie generally don't dare to foul. If they commit a foul, they will give him points directly!
The Bulls took the lead in the opening game and took advantage of Chen Jie's 2+1 to score three points.
And immediately, it was the Cavaliers' offense.
On the Cavaliers' first offense, although James was already in position with Griffin, Mo Williams did not pass the ball to him.
Mo Williams seems to want a single of his own.
It is worth mentioning that the one guarding Mo Williams was not Du Hong, but Chen Jie.
In Lenovo's Bulls' first offense just now, Chen Jie dribbled the ball past half-court. Although he never passed the ball during the entire offense, he completed everything by himself.
But after all, he can be regarded as a point guard.
And now, on the defensive end, Chen Jie once again faced the opponent's point guard Mo Williams. Could it be that Scales made a tactical arrangement today, letting Chen Jie play the point guard and moved Chris Duhon to the shooting guard?
Has your position been taken?
Many media reporters in the stands had this question in their minds.
However, this defense is not enough to explain the problem after all. Now, reporters are not sure yet.
This can only be seen before talking about it!
Facing Chen Jie's defense, Mo Williams obviously had no fear.
It can be seen that Xiao Mo is very confident in his offensive ability now.
However, he seemed to have forgotten that Chen Jie successfully restricted Kobe several times in the last game.
Even if Mo Williams has excellent offensive ability, can he be compared with Kobe?
Many people saw this scene and felt that Mo Williams made the wrong choice.
Over there, James is already in a good position, so just pass the ball over there.
When James plays Griffin in isolation, he has an advantage in physical fitness, so the success rate should be very high.
And the defender you face is not Du Hong, but Chen Jie. Do you really want to play alone?
Many of the media who were watching had disdainful smiles on their faces at this moment. They felt that Mo Williams was overestimating his capabilities.
However, the development of things was beyond their expectations.
Mo Williams actually succeeded in singles.
In fact, Chen Jie defended this ball very well. After Mo Williams chose to break through, Chen Jie never lost his position and followed Mo Williams closely. If he wanted to break through for a layup, Chen Jie would definitely
It can cause him great disturbance.
Even if Mo Williams stops the ball to shoot, Chen Jie can immediately step forward to block it.
However, Chen Jie did not expect that Xiao Mo played a difficult game.
He chose a pull-up jump shot. And it was a super fade-away pull-up jump shot.
After taking a few steps with the ball, Xiao Mo took off directly and his movements were very fast.
Chen Jie's reaction was not slow either. He took off quickly. Because he was taller than Xiao Mo and had better jumping ability than Xiao Mo, Chen Jie was able to at least touch the basketball.
But unexpectedly, at this moment, Xiao Mo actually leaned back. And the basketball he threw crossed a very high parabola.
With a ball like this, there was nothing Chen Jie could do.
However, when Chen Jie was in the air, he still felt that the ball would not go in.
If it were me, I wouldn't have much confidence in such a ball.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Mo actually made the shot.
Moreover, seeing that Xiao Mo didn't look very excited after landing, Chen Jie felt that he should still be very confident.
This kid really has his own trump card.
Chen Jie sighed.
In the stands, fans at the Credit Center cheered to celebrate the goal.
The media who were still laughing at Xiao Mo just now were also shocked.
Fortunately, I didn't say it out loud. Otherwise, Xiao Mo would have been really slapped in the face.
This group of media is very happy.
James didn't get angry because Mo didn't pass the ball to him. On the contrary, he came over and high-fived Mo to celebrate Mo's goal.
When the Bulls played the baseline ball, Chen Jie did not run to the frontcourt. On the contrary, Du Hong, who was supposed to catch the ball in the backcourt, ran to the frontcourt in advance. In the backcourt, only Chen Jie and his serve were left.
Dele.
Seeing this scene, the media finally came to a realization. It seemed that Chen Jie was really playing point guard in this game.
When he was in the NCAA, Chen Jie had always played this position, but in the second year, he also developed into a combo guard.
In the league, he directly played shooting guard, and now, he is back to his old job.
The media couldn't help but lament that Scales' move was really confusing.
However, this should still be a great advantage for the Bulls?
Chen Jie's organizational skills are not bad. If he plays point guard, he should still have the upper hand against Mo Williams. And when Chris Duhon moves to the shooting guard position, he should be equally good against Pavlovich.
Let.
In this way, the Bulls will have an advantage in both backcourt positions against the Cavaliers.
It's a bit like Chinese Tianji horse racing.
But the effect still needs to be tested through competition.
After receiving the baseline ball from Chandler, Chen Jie advanced with the ball.
Because Paul Silas has not yet made targeted arrangements for Skiles' change, Pavlovich is still the one defending Chen Jie.
Pavlovich, who had just been beaten by Chen Jie using his speed, did not dare to neglect this time.
He simply gave up the area he should be used to watching and defended Chen Jie with all his heart.
Mo Williams focused more than half of his attention on Chen Jie and almost ignored Du Hong.
When Chen Jie saw this scene, he smiled slightly in his heart.
It seems that the breakthrough just now worked.
Although the effect is not very obvious yet, if we keep playing like this, the Cavaliers' zone defense will be opened sooner or later.
After taking a look at his teammates' positions, Chen Jie was actually a little uncomfortable with the current feeling.
That's right, today, Chen Jie is playing the point guard position.
In his first year at Duke University, Chen Jie has been doing this job.
However, since entering the league, Chen Jie has never played point guard.
Although when playing shooting guard, Du Hong dribbled the ball through half the court and handed the ball to himself, organizing passes or attacking by himself. Chen Jie had great autonomy.
But this kind of organization is still a little different from the organization as a point guard.
When playing at the shooting guard position, Chen Jie only needs to see which teammate is open, and after passing the ball, he can shoot or layup.
But as a point guard, you must read the situation on the court, predict the opponent's defensive position and the movement of your teammates a few seconds in advance, and also hand the ball to the right player at the right time.
people.
If a teammate is feeling hot, you have to find a way to pass more passes to him so that he can continue to score.
All of this is the task of the point guard.
Of course, Chen Jie, a point guard, still needs to score by himself more than half the time.
But even so, he still has to read the situation of the game.
Simply put, this can be regarded as Chen Jie's old profession. Even if it feels a little unfamiliar, at least it is not unfamiliar.
While dribbling the ball and observing the position of his teammates on the field, Chen Jie keenly noticed that there was a problem with Mo Williams' position. He seemed to be a little too biased towards his own side.
And Chris Duhon has obviously discovered this loophole, and he is preparing to make something of Xiao Mo's mistake.
Seeing this scene, Chen Jie gave Du Hong a look.
The two have been playing together for three years, and their tacit understanding has long been cultivated.
Duhong understood it and made a reverse cut directly to the Cavaliers' basket.
Chen Jie's ball was also passed quickly, and it also gave an advance.
When Mo Williams saw Chen Jie passing the ball, he quickly turned around, but Du Hong had already charged and he couldn't stop him at all.
After getting the basketball, Duhon had already dumped Mo Williams and he also faced Ilgauskas.
Unlike Chen Jie's direct confrontation, Du Hong chose to pass Ilgauskas because he was still a little far away from the basket.
If a small guard passes a big center, even if there is not much space, he still has a great chance.
Sure enough, Duhong changed direction and passed Ilgauskas. Then he took three steps directly for a layup, using his body to block the block of Ilgauskas who was still chasing after him. Duhong
The basketball goes in on the wiper board.
After the goal, Du Hong turned around and pointed at Chen Jie to thank him for his beautiful pass.
Chen Jie smiled slightly, but he still did not run to the backcourt, but stayed in the frontcourt, preparing to keep an eye on Mo Williams throughout the court.
At this time, the media in the stands had almost determined that Chen Jie would play point guard in this game.
Of course Paul Silas saw it too.
He was thinking about whether to make changes.
In fact, it’s okay even if you don’t make any changes.
But after all, Pavlovich's defense is still lagging behind that of Mo Williams.
Originally, if Chen Jie only scored, it would be okay to use Pavlovich to limit it.
But now Chen Jie still has to organize this kind of defense, and Mo Williams is obviously more experienced.
Otherwise, let Xiao Mo and Chen Jie face off.
Maybe it's a little better than Pavlovich's.
Thinking like this, Paul Silas made up his mind.
He has to wait for a dead ball opportunity before giving his players instructions.
And here, the Cavaliers' offense also ended.
This time, Xiao Mo is no longer so alone.
After all, James is the leader of the team. He asked for the ball twice and refused to give it to him. How inappropriate.
What's more, the defender he faced was Griffin, who was not well-known.
This time, Mo Williams decisively passed the ball to James, and James did not waste the opportunity. He posted up Griffin and hit a turnaround jumper, adding two points to the Cavaliers.
At the beginning, the two teams were still very anxious! (To be continued...)
