Of course, we still don’t know if Charles Barkley’s prediction will come true.
After all, the game has only started for one minute.
The only thing that can be clearly predicted is that both teams are in very good shape today.
After not missing in the first two attacks, the Bulls and Cavaliers also succeeded again in the third attack.
For the Bulls, Chen Jie still acted as a point guard this time and completed his task of controlling the overall situation. His breakthrough and passing ball successfully split the direction of the Cavaliers. Nocchioni also helped Chen Jie
Next, he took a step inside the three-point line and scored his first goal of the game today.
As for the Cavaliers, James started his own crushing breakthrough mode. Although his changes of direction were not as dazzling as Iverson's, he used his body to be able to overcome Griffin. After reaching the inside
Facing Chandler's defense, James not only successfully put the ball into the basket, but also caused Chandler to foul. However, his free throw was really not reassuring. The extra penalty missed the basket, and James also
Missed an opportunity to hit a three-pointer.
The game has been played for two minutes so far, and neither team's offense has missed a beat, which makes the fans watching the game very enjoyable.
This kind of confrontation is interesting, isn't it?
However, even if the two teams are in excellent condition and their offense can always score goals, that is still a bit exaggerated.[
Such a thing is unlikely to happen on earth.
Sure enough, on the next offense, the Bulls missed.
Chen Jie still chose to break through. This time, it was no longer Pavlovich. It was Mo Williams.
The dead ball just happened when James was fouled by Chandler. Paul Silas specially called Mo and Pavlovich to the sidelines to make some arrangements. After returning, the two people exchanged defensive players.
Pavlovic looked to guard Chris Duhon, while Mo Williams looked to guard Chen Jie.
But obviously, if Charles Barkley expected it to be the same, and Mo Williams and Pavlovic were the same, neither of them would be able to guard Chen Jie.
In fact, it can be said that there is really no one in this alliance that can prevent Chen Jie from death.
At least for now, that's the case.
Those "excellent" defensive players, such as Bruce Bowen, Kirilenko, and Kobe, can at most cause some difficulties for Chen Jie's offense and restrict Chen Jie a little. If you want to guard him, you have to
It's really unlikely.
And players like Mo Williams can't even restrict Chen Jie.
Chen Jie broke through him very easily.
Unlike Pavlovic who prefers to defend Chen Jie's breakthrough, Mo Williams prefers to defend Chen Jie's shot probably because he is also good at shooting.
Defending shots and defending breakthroughs are two absolutely different defensive tactics.
When defending a breakthrough, you should stand slightly back to not give the opponent room to sprint.
When defending a shot, you naturally have to stand slightly closer to the offensive player, so that if he shoots, he can react more quickly.[
This principle is easy to understand.
Mo Williams took the latter approach.
Obviously, despite this, it will be a little difficult for Chen Jie to shoot, but when he breaks through, it will be much easier than the previous method.
Now, because of Scales' instructions, Chen Jie is obviously more inclined to want a breakthrough.
Therefore, in fact, Mo Williams's choice was somewhat wrong.
But considering that in the last game, the Cavaliers were killed by Chen Jie's shooting. It is understandable that Mo Williams made such a choice.
Because Mo Williams was positioned slightly forward, Chen Jie just made a continuous counterattack and dribbled in different directions, easily passing Mo Williams, and then directly killed him under the basket. When he saw Ilgauskas and
Gooden rushed forward at the same time, and without thinking, he passed the ball hand-to-hand to Chandler under Gooden's armpit.
After the basketball was in Chandler's hands, Chandler basically faced an empty basket to defend. At this time, his dunk was already a sure thing.
Chandler probably thought the same way, so he didn't have much defense when he took off and dunked.
And this also gave James, who rushed in from the outside, an opportunity to defend.
James' jumping ability may be slightly better than that of Chen Jie. His height in the air is particularly high, and Chandler is not prepared yet.
Then, a block is a matter of course.
James' big hand directly hit Chandler's dunk onto the backboard. After the basketball picked up, it happened to fall into the hands of James who landed on the ground.
This time the defense, thanks to James' efforts, allowed the Bulls to succeed.
This was also the opening, the first offensive failure of the two teams.
However, for the Bulls, it just missed a goal, but it didn't matter.
Even Chandler, who was blocked, only clapped his hands slightly in annoyance and was not too sad.
Immediately, the Bulls devoted themselves to defense.
However, they failed to defend this time.
LeBron James, as if he had been overjoyed, had just given Chandler a big block. James was not satisfied yet. In this attack, he did not hand the ball to Mo Williams, but directly took the ball to the whole court.
A dragon, driving straight in.
It's a bit like when Chen Jie faced the Mavericks in a single game.
Although James' dribbling is not as stable as Chen Jie's, he is very comfortable doing such things because of his physical advantages.
If Chen Jie is a sports car, then James is a big truck.
There is not much technical content, just crushing and crushing all obstacles in front of you.
However, although James is very strong, his speed is not slow at all.
It's hard to stop James when he charges forward.
The Bulls players have a deep understanding of this at this moment.
Chris Duhon is a victim. In the center circle, Chris Duhon still expected to steal James. He approached James and prepared to reach out to steal the ball, but unexpectedly, he just made physical contact with James.
He was immediately knocked away by James. Du Hong's body lost his balance, but James seemed to be fine.
Because Duhong was moving this ball, James did not commit an offensive foul. Duhong suffered a hidden loss in vain.
Immediately, outside the three-point line, Chen Jie stepped forward and tried to steal James. His body was better than Du Hong's, but Chen Jie's steal was also unsuccessful.
He and James made physical contact. Although it was not a collision, Chen Jie still felt a little pain from being touched by James. Then, Chen Jie tried hard to maintain his body balance. From here on, he was going to follow James and not let him go.
Basketball opportunity.
However, Chen Jie did not expect that James would be so fast.
Chen Jie's speed is not slower than James, but James is already in a sprinting state, while Chen Jie is still almost stationary. It will take some time for him to start and then accelerate.
Originally, Chen Jie thought that even this was enough to catch up with James, but he underestimated James. By the time Chen Jie accelerated, James had already passed by Chen Jie at lightning speed.
As for Chen Jie, all he saw was James' back.
After breaking through Chen Jie, James only had the Bulls' two big men in front of him.
Needless to say, Noccioni, at this time, even if he steps forward, he cannot stop James. To a certain extent, as an insider, Noccioni's physical fitness is not even as good as James, an outside player.
But Chandler is different. Chandler is a player with a body and jump, and now, he has become the Bulls' last barrier.
Chandler is now the Bulls' last hope to defend James.
He saw James rushing past without a trace of fear, standing under the basket, just like the soldiers guarding the position.
James came over, James took off.
Chandler also took off and jumped into the air. He was going to block James' ball and get revenge for the block he had just made.
But……………………
Chandler didn't expect that James's take-off height was so high, and that he was so powerful in the air.
The two people fought for a while, but Chandler didn't knock James away. Instead, he was knocked back slightly by James. Then, he heard a bang.
The credit center also erupted into the most enthusiastic cheers.
James dunks successfully!
After Chandler landed, he realized what the bang was just now!
James actually dunked on himself!
Chandler felt a little angry!
Chen Jie watched James beating his chest and running all the way to celebrate returning to his own half, with a smile on his face.
This is the little emperor,
This ball, from James' own reaction in the backcourt to the final dunk, can be said to be completed in one go. The combination of James' speed and strength has been perfectly reflected.
The whole process only took five seconds.
The previous breakthroughs showed James' speed and skills as an outside player, and the last dunk showed James' domineering power!
I have to say that James's goal was very exciting, so exciting that it was enough to be selected as one of the top ten goals of the week.
Even Charles Barkley in the TNT studio couldn't help but applaud James.
"LeBron, beautiful, what an incredible goal!" Kenny Smith shouted in surprise.
After this goal, the Cavaliers also took the lead.
8 to 7, they went from just one point behind to one point ahead.
For the Bulls, it doesn't matter whether they are ahead or behind by one point in the opening period.
The important thing is that this goal is likely to boost the morale of the Cavaliers. Maybe they will take advantage of this opportunity to play a small game.
Now, what the Bulls need to do is for a player to step up and give James a response to the ball.
Obviously, this person can only be Chen Jie in the Bulls!
After a moment of surprised cheers for James' goal, many neutral media reporters and fans turned their attention to Chen Jie.
Kenny Smith even said directly: "Next, it depends on what kind of response Chen Jie gives!"
In the stands, on one side of the media box, a woman silently put her hands on her chest and prayed for Chen Jie.
Sitting next to this woman was the Bulls team reporter assigned by Time Magazine. The woman Chen Jie invited back to Chicago for dinner after this game, "Ruth"!
So obviously, the woman praying for Chen Jie is Beyoncé.
Although Chen Jie and she are no longer as close as before, Beyoncé's heart and hope for Chen Jie's good luck have never changed.
Naturally, Chen Jie didn't know that a woman was praying for her. He didn't even know that Beyoncé would come to Cleveland with Ruth.
There is only one thought in his mind at the moment, that is, James has declared war, so he must fight against it!
With this in mind, Chen Jie took the baseline ball from Chandler from the backcourt and dribbled the ball past half court.
He doesn't plan to pass this ball again.
He wants to do it himself.
As for the method.
Chen Jie smiled slightly. He remembered the last game.
James' breakthrough has always been James' strength. Before his shooting was finalized, 80% of James' scoring relied on breakthrough.
Chen Jie's breakthrough is certainly not weak, but compared with James, Chen Jie's breakthrough is obviously not his advantage.
So, what are the advantages of Chen Jie compared to James?
Everyone knows that the last match between the two teams also confirmed that Chen Jie's advantage over James lies in shooting.
Now, James just used a one-stop dunk on Chandler to end the attack. According to ordinary people's understanding, Chen Jie should also dunk in response to James.
However, Chen Jie's thoughts are obviously different from those of ordinary people.
He planned to use another method to complete this ball.
Of course, it's shooting.
However, it is a different shot.
Chen Jie is ready to score four points!
This is actually Mo Williams' defense that inspired Chen Jie.
Mo Williams was guarding Chen Jie's shot, so obviously, Chen Jie had a chance to break through.
However, from another perspective, if Chen Jie still shoots, wouldn't Mo Williams definitely rush to block the shot?
He was so concerned about Chen Jie's shooting that he gave Chen Jie the opportunity to draw a foul.
For Chen Jie, it is not difficult to draw a foul. What is difficult is if he shoots the ball after drawing the foul.
Chen Jie was dribbling the ball at the moment and facing Mo Williams. In his mind, he thought of Tracy McGrady's 31 at 35 seconds and 13 minutes. That ball was shot by Tracy McGrady through Duncan.
For that ball, he first shook Duncan, then took off, allowing Duncan to make physical contact with himself, and then threw the basketball.
Chen Jie is also planning to come here. (To be continued...)
