This is the biggest question in the minds of all the spectators, media and players at the scene at this moment.
If the missed free throw just now was just an accident, that can still be explained.
But what is this defense?
Chen Jie was stunned as if his soul had been taken away in an instant.
Charles Barker used a vivid metaphor. At that moment, Chen Jie seemed to have heard the referee's whistle and thought the game had been stopped.
However, everyone knew that the referee clearly did not blow the whistle, and the fans at the scene did not even blow the whistle intentionally to interfere with the players on the field. So, what happened to Chen Jie?
Could it be an auditory hallucination?
If not, how can we explain this distraction?
For a professional player, it is rare for him to lose focus on the court.
Even if it does happen, it won't happen to a player like Chen Jie.
If you want to say that the ball just shot was not Chen Jie, but Eddie Curry, or Kwame Brown, or JaVale McGee in the future, then I believe many people will not be surprised.
However, the player who was distracted just now is Chen Jie.
The one who scored 62 points in a single game, the one who led the Bulls to four Western Conference road wins, the one who faced 30+ points in 13 consecutive games, the one who is now ranked second in the scoring list, and already a quarter of the way through that season.
This year's Rookie of the Year is locked in, Chen Jie, who is definitely above the All-Star level, who may even compete for MVP as a rookie!
How could he make such a low-level mistake?
Weird, weird!
Perhaps, these two words can only be used to describe the feelings of these people watching the game at this moment.
Other than weird, they couldn't find any better words to describe the scene they just saw.
It's incredible.
There is no doubt that this game is exciting. However, until now, all the excitement has been put aside. At this moment, they only feel that the game is a bit too unexpected.
How could Chen Jie, who just led the Bulls and Cavaliers against each other and competed with James just now, become like this in an instant?
Many people don't understand.
Just like in the 1998 World Cup final, Ronaldo suddenly seemed to be sleepwalking. Chen Jie's two performances just now gave people the same feeling as when they saw Ronaldo's performance at that time.
What happened after that 3+1 just now?
This question has arisen in many people's minds.
Off the court, Skiles couldn't help but become worried.
After sending the baseline ball, he quickly called a timeout.
Chen Jie lowered his head and walked back to the bench with his teammates.
Skiles didn't pay attention to the other Bulls players at all. The reason why he called this timeout was entirely for Chen Jie.
Scales, who was standing in front of the bench, saw Chen Jie coming and quickly grabbed Chen Jie and asked: "Jie, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
The tone of Scales' question was not reproachful, but concerned.
Chen Jie was pulled by Scales and stopped there. When he heard Scales' question and saw the concerned eyes of his teammates, he felt very warm in his heart.
"I'm fine, I'm really fine. I was just a little distracted just now. I'm sorry, I won't do this again!"
Chen Jie explained, his tone full of apology.
After all, because of his own mistake, Mo Williams scored a goal that he shouldn't have scored. Chen Jie felt a little sorry for his teammates.
Hearing Chen Jie's words, Scales felt a little relieved.
However, he still said: "You should take a break Jay, Frank, get ready. After the timeout is over, you will replace Jay!"
Hearing the head coach call his name, Frank Williams quickly took off his training clothes and stood up from the bench.
Skiles turned to Chen Jie and said: "It's okay Jie, if you're a little tired, just take a rest first, and then play again after you've rested!"
Scales' voice had a kindly tone.
Chen Jie wanted to tell Skiles that he had nothing to do and could continue to play. But seeing the concerned and worried eyes of Skiles and the same concern in the eyes of Chandler Duhong and other teammates, Chen Jie's words came to his mind.
mouth, and swallowed it back.
He made it to the bench, took the towel handed by his teammates, and put it on his shoulders.
Skiles then pulled Frank Williams over and told him what to pay attention to on the court.
After one minute, the timeout ends and the game restarts.
At this time, only four minutes had passed since the start of the game, and the Bulls replaced their star player, which caused an uproar at the scene.
The Cavaliers fans in the Credit Center are of course happy. Chen Jie can be said to be the biggest threat to the Cavaliers. Without him, the Cavaliers will have no pressure at all against the Bulls.
At first, the media didn't have time to gloat about the misfortune. They all quickly called and contacted their contacts, wanting to know what happened on the Bulls' bench as soon as possible.
Did something really go wrong with Chen Jie, or did Scales replace Chen Jie because he was dissatisfied with Chen Jie's performance just now?
The media are keenly aware that this is definitely big news.
News like this is definitely extremely valuable. Therefore, they are all racing against time to know the inside story as soon as possible.
Suddenly, radios were buzzing in the stands of the Credit Center.
In the major studios, the live broadcasters no longer paid attention to the game, but studied Chen Jie's problems one by one.
In the TNT studio, Charles Barkley saw Frank Williams replacing Chen Jie on the field. He was immediately surprised and said: "The Bulls have made a substitution. Coach Scott replaced Jay with Frank. Could it be that Jay is really out of luck?"
What’s the problem?”
Next to him, Kenny Smith was also very concerned. He put forward another hypothesis: "Did Coach Scott be dissatisfied with Jayshawn's performance just now, so he replaced Jay as punishment?"
His hypothesis had just been put forward. It was immediately rejected by Charles Barkley: "This may not be big. Firstly, Coach Scott and Jay have always had a good relationship. This is well known. Secondly, after all, Jay is now
The top player of the Bulls, and his status in the management's heart is also very high. Coach Scott will not replace Jay just because of a ball mistake. He will not simply break up with Jay. In this case, the management
The boss will not stand on Scott's side. I think Scott will not make such a wrong decision. So, I feel that the problem should be solved. Now, I just want to know what happened to him.
, could it be that the contact with Mo Williams just now caused an injury to a certain part of the body, so I felt uncomfortable when I was defending, so I gave up the defense?"
"But, look, Jayshawn is still sitting on the bench. If he is injured, he should go back to the locker room for treatment! I think this possibility is unlikely!" Kenny Smith immediately responded.
"I saw it too. Just now the Bulls team doctor went up to ask Jayshawn, and Jayshawn shook his head. It seemed that he had no physical problem!" Kenny Smith continued.
His analysis was also very reasonable. Charles Barkley couldn't guess it for a moment. He looked at the Bulls bench and couldn't help but murmured: "Jay, what's wrong with you?"
Not only Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, but also ABA and ESPN, two national TV broadcasters, also started discussing this substitution after seeing Frank Williams replace Chen Jie on the field.
Because Skiles and Chen Jie have a good relationship, this is well known in the league.
Therefore, because Scales was angry because of Chen Jie's mistake, there were not many arguments for deliberately replacing Chen Jie as punishment. Many people still felt that something was wrong with Chen Jie himself.
But as Kenny Smith analyzed, if Chen Jie is injured, he should go back to the locker room for treatment.
But he just refused the team doctor's diagnosis.
It is definitely impossible for Chen Jie to make fun of his body, so in other words, Chen Jie feels that there is nothing wrong with his body.
So, what happened to him?
Everyone is paying attention to Chen Jie's problem at the moment, and few people even care about the situation on the field.
Since it is impossible for Skiles and Chen Jie to have a conflict, and Chen Jie's body seems to be fine, there is something wrong with Chen Jie's heart.
However, he just completed a nearly successful four-point play, how could he have a mental problem?
Even if you have been fighting for days and feel mentally tired and unable to concentrate, it can't happen so quickly?
Although this argument was immediately rejected, overall, this one is probably the bigger one.
Many people are still inclined to accept that because of Chen Jie's non-stop fighting, he was under too much pressure and his strings were too tight, so he suddenly exploded after responding to James' dunk.
His attention may not be able to concentrate for a while, which is why he made such a mistake.
And he obviously knew it well, so he told Scales, so Scales asked him to take a rest.
If this is the case, then it will take a long time for Chen Jieke to adjust.
And how can the Bulls' record be guaranteed during this period?
All of a sudden, there were endless discussions in the media.
And now, various cameras also gave Chen Jie a close-up.
While taking a close-up of Chen Jie, someone noticed something unusual.
That is, Chen Jie, who was sitting on the bench, was not watching the game on the field, chatting with his teammates, or resting, but was looking at the stands.
What is he looking at the stands for?
Are there any of his relatives in the stands?
Thinking of Chen Jie's girlfriend Li Min'er watching the game live and chatting with her during the game, many media thought of this possibility.
Could it be that Chen Jie is looking at his girlfriend?
Is she here again today?
If this is the case, it is normal for Chen Jie to look at the stands.
After all, his sudden end made many people confused.
At this time, he gave his girlfriend a look to reassure her, which was understandable.
The camera immediately focused on the stands and began to look for Li Ming'er.
But after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find any trace of Li Ming'er.
The media couldn't help but be confused again.
Li Ming'er probably didn't come, so what was Chen Jie looking at?
His sudden end and his unexpected look at the stands, both of which left the media puzzled.
They felt that Chen Jie was really weird today.
He kept asking reporters difficult questions.
Why!
The reporters couldn't help but feel helpless.
It seems that these two questions have evolved into unsolved mysteries.
If you want to know the answer, you can only ask Chen Jie after the game and let him say it himself.
However, I think of Chen Jie’s temper.
How could he tell the media the answers to these two questions?
Jayshawn, Jayshawn, what's wrong with you? What are you looking at?
Can you tell us?
We need these two answers very much. Millions of fans are waiting for us to answer them.
If we still can't give an accurate report on the news tomorrow, the fans will probably curse.
This is our job.
This is our mission!
Jayshawn, you have pity on us.
At this time, many media clasped their hands together and began to pray. When interviewing Chen Jie after the game, they would be able to get the answers to these two questions.
Of course, Chen Jie didn't know that his sudden end had plunged the media into such a tangle.
At this moment, he was staring at a woman in the stands.
Because the distance was too far, Chen Jie still couldn't see clearly who this woman was.
But he was certain that this woman was the woman he saw in the media lounge of the United Center Press Conference Hall.
The woman I suspect is Beyoncé.
Is she coming to Cleveland too?
Could it be that she is also a reporter?
But why didn't I see her in the press conference room?
Or is she just Ruth's friend.
Chen Jie felt that this question could only be answered clearly by asking Ruth.
However, at this moment, Chen Jie just couldn't let go of this question.
Of course he could call Beyoncé directly. That way, he could of course determine whether this woman was Beyoncé.
However, Chen Jie was still a little worried.
That is, if this woman really belongs to Beyoncé and she doesn’t contact him when she comes to Chicago, but if he contacts her by himself, will she pay attention to him?
If she is not Beyonce, then what should I say if I call Beyonce rashly?
I have to admit that Chen Jie is tangled and hesitant when it comes to relationships.
If not, there wouldn't have been such twists and turns when we were together with Li Min'er.
If it weren't for Li Ming'er's persistence, Chen Jie might have missed Li Ming'er now.
Beyoncé is not Jessica Alba. Chen Jie can still keep in touch with Jessica Alba by having Li Min'er.
Because in Chen Jie's heart, Jessica Alba is not as important as Beyoncé.
But the more important the person, the less Chen Jie dared to touch him.
This is the shortcoming of Chen Jie's character.
I obviously want to know, but I don't dare to ask directly.
And I can’t help but think about it. (To be continued...)
ps: Please give me a reward. I have been working very hard recently. Also, please don’t complain about the emotional drama.
