At six minutes and fifty-three seconds of the second quarter, after the official timeout came back, the Cavaliers' main lineup finally took the field.
Seeing this scene, many people were thinking, Chen Jie should be going to attack now, right?
In fact, why wouldn't Chen Jie want to attack, play in isolations, put the basketball into the basket, and help the Bulls increase their scoring numbers?
However, Chen Jie found that he couldn't concentrate on attacking at all.
All that flashed in his mind was the shadow of a woman.
He tried hard to control himself not to look at that place, but he couldn't control his thoughts.
This is definitely not his best form.
That three-pointer, that pass, and that block were Chen Jie's last effort to suppress his thoughts and reach the limit.
Now, Chen Jie can no longer control it.[
This is nothing like before.
In the past, when attacking or defending, as long as he was on the basketball court, Chen Jie never thought about anything else.
But today, Chen Jie found that he couldn't concentrate.
It's not that he doesn't want to attack, he just feels that with his current state, even if he forces an attack, he will probably only add another mistake to the Bulls.
After receiving Du Hong's pass, Chen Jie's first reaction was to quickly give the ball to his teammates.
He is actually still working hard to adjust himself. He still believes that he can adjust well. He just needs some time. This is why he did not explain it to Skiles and still insisted on staying on the court.
However, after getting the ball, Chen Jie found that his teammates had already pulled away from him.
This ball, even if I want to pass it, is impossible.
There is no other way, let’s play alone!
Chen Jie Nai dribbled the ball and walked towards the three-point line step by step.
Standing in front of Chen Jie was still Mo Williams, because both Ilgauskas and Gooden were back. Mo Williams still chose to defend Chen Jie's shot.
At this time, according to Chen Jie's previous personality, he should choose to break through.
Moreover, in such a situation, it is definitely very easy for Chen Jie to break through Xiao Mo.
Breaking through and entering the paint, either passing the ball or making a layup, is the real test for Chen Jie.
According to Chen Jie's character, he will accept such a test.[
Therefore, many people think that when the ball reaches here, Chen Jie will change direction and accelerate.
Even Xiao Mo thinks so.
However, Chen Jie did not do this.
He took the ball and moved two steps laterally. The speed was not very fast. Xiao Mo used a sliding step to keep up.
Then, Chen Jie jumped up and threw a three-pointer seemingly carelessly.
The ball was so random that Chen Jie didn't even try to shake Xiao Mo. He didn't even make an effort to take off. He even didn't prepare to dodge when dribbling the ball.
Seeing Chen Jie take action directly, and in this way, many people were in an uproar.
What is Chen Jie doing?
Even if you don't want to attack, there is no need to waste such an offensive opportunity, right?
Just when Kenny Smith was about to criticize Chen Jie's offensive choice in the TNT studio, he suddenly saw that the ball thrown by Chen Jie went hollow into the net.
Three point hit!
Kenny Smith held his words in his mouth.
Next to him, Charles Barkley laughed loudly: "Good shot, beautiful three-pointer. Haha, Jay, this kid, always has such unexpected performances. Kenny, do you think Jay's choice just now is a bit too reckless?"
?”
After Charles Barkley praised Chen Jie, he didn't forget to tease Kenny Smith.
Yes, it's a joke, at least that's what Kenny Smith thinks.
This hateful guy must have seen his expression just now. At this moment, when he saw Jayshawn hit a shot, he was going to make fun of himself.
This hateful guy, Kenny Smith cursed in his heart, but he didn't know how to respond to Charles Barkley's words.
He was about to weakly explain himself, but unexpectedly, Charles Barkley had already spoken: "To be honest Kenny, I just saw Chen Jie take action. In fact, I was also a little surprised and a little hard to understand."
Kenny Smith did not expect that Charles Barkley would say such a thing. He was excusing himself. How could this be possible?
Kenny Smith thought for a moment that his ears had heard it wrong.
But immediately, he heard Charles Barkley continue: "But now it seems that Jay should be a talented person and bold. He should be very sure that he can score this ball. He just wants to use this ball to tell Xiao Mo
, I casually shot when you were specifically guarding my shot, but you still had no way to do it. Haha, with this ball, Jay not only scored, but also destroyed the opponent's confidence, just killing two birds with one stone. This kid, haha!"
These words spoken by Charles Barkley made Kenny Smith speechless.
He finally understood why Charles Barkley excused himself.
In fact, he is not excusing himself, he is just suppressing before he wants to promote.
He said those words just because he suddenly saw how different Chen Jie was later.
This guy is obviously more interested in praising Sean than anything else.
In order to praise Sean, he was not even willing to make fun of himself.
Really!
Kenny Smith cursed.
Apart from these two people, everyone else obviously thinks so too.
The fans in the Credit Center became quieter at this moment. Obviously, they were also frightened by Chen Jie's goal.
He was able to make a shot even though he was carelessly guarded by Xiao Mo. What kind of freak is this Jayshawn?
Xiao Mo's eyes changed when he looked at Chen Jie, there was some fear, some anger, some humiliation.
He felt that Chen Jie's shot just now was intentional.
He just wants to tell himself that he doesn't need to be too serious and can break his special defense casually!
The Bulls players were excited. This ball showed them how domineering Chen Jie was.
I saw Chen Jie who was playing with his opponent in the palm of his hand!
Skiles shook his fist. Now, the Bulls are one point ahead of the Cavaliers. However, Skiles is not happy about overtaking the score. What he is happy about is seeing a normal Chen Jie.
Under the eyes of everyone who admired, awed, or hated, Chen Jie secretly thought he was lucky.
Chen Jie felt that this goal was scored by Meng.
The reason why he chose to shoot instead of break through was because Chen Jie found that he couldn't concentrate on thinking about the flaws in Xiao Mo's defense.
He actually just threw the ball randomly. He really didn't expect it to go in.
But now, the ball was scored, and from the eyes of everyone, Chen Jie could see what they were thinking.
Probably, they felt that they did this on purpose.
But... I am obviously not.
At this moment, Chen Jie looked a bit like Mr. Nan Guo who was just pretending to be fake, and he was a little afraid to face other people's eyes.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Because of Chen Jie's goal, the Bulls' morale quickly improved.
LeBron James' breakthrough was blocked by inside Chandler and outside Piakowski.
The Bulls players were united as one. They refused to give in at all on the defensive end and built a solid defense line.
At this moment, they are full of confidence in victory.
On the offensive end, Chris Duhon once again passed the basketball to Chen Jie.
This time, the Bulls players started to move.
Because they discovered that the Cavaliers' defensive focus was almost entirely on Chen Jie, and they had too many opportunities.
Chen Jie made a point shot, and Nocchioni on the baseline got an open shot. He hit a three-pointer and the Bulls led by four points.
Chen Jie didn't accomplish this goal by luck. Although he might not have been able to hit Chen Jie alone, it was still very easy for him to pass the ball.
Just because he was a little absent-minded and couldn't concentrate, it didn't mean that Chen Jie's strength was gone.
He just has some mental problems, but his passing technique is still fine.
Seeing Chen Jie send an assist, no one doubted Chen Jie's assist anymore.
Because of this ball, Chen Jie played very reasonably.
The Cavaliers' defensive focus is entirely on Chen Jie. No matter whether Chen Jie chooses to shoot or break through, he faces the Cavaliers' strongest defense.
Although Chen Jie still has a chance to score if he plays alone, there is no need to do so.
With just one pass, teammates can easily get opportunities.
This choice is a smart choice.
But now, what Chen Jie made was a smart choice.
I have to say that the lucky ball just now really helped Chen Jie.
Now, he just hopes that he can pass the ball without attacking.
However, if the Cavaliers don't focus on defending themselves, their teammates will have no chance, and it will be impossible for them to pass the ball.
However, because of the ball just now, the Cavaliers were obviously a little afraid of Chen Jie, so they focused their defense on Chen Jie.
Chen Jie also got a chance to pass the ball.
If the fight continues like this, Chen Jie feels that he can still cope with the situation on the court.
If the three-pointer just now had not been scored, this would not be the case at all.
The Cavaliers' defense is no longer so oppressive, so Chen Jie has to play in isolations. Now, his success rate in isolations is definitely not high. It is a vicious circle. The Cavaliers pay more attention to defending other teammates, so Chen Jie has less and less opportunities to pass the ball.
Now, everything is the opposite.
I have to admit that sometimes, a ball can change many, many things on the basketball court.
In the TNT broadcast room, seeing Chen Jie's goal, Charles Barkley once again sang his praises.
"Jay's choice is very smart. At this time, Jay can still keep a clear mind, which is amazing. After he just had the opportunity to attack, he can still restrain himself and distribute the ball to his teammates who are in the best position.
It’s very personal. I think this is the secret of Jie’s success!”
Kenny Smith quite agrees with what he said.
"Yes, Jayshawn's advantage is that he can always keep a clear head and make the most correct choices."
Kenny Smith is concise and concise, but his evaluation is very high.
Just as the two people were talking, the Cavaliers were attacking on the court. Facing Chen Jie's defense, Xiao Mo took the ball a few steps, then quickly changed direction, trying to break through Chen Jie, but after he made several fake
After making the move, Chen Jie didn't move at all. Xiao Mo couldn't help but feel a little unsure.
Next to James asked for the ball, Xiao Mo thought about it and chose to pass the ball.
Facing Chen Jie's defense, Xiao Mo was a little afraid to fight.
In fact, he didn't know that it wasn't that Chen Jie didn't take advantage of his fake moves, but that Chen Jie didn't pay attention to his moves at all.
And Xiao Mo actually passed the ball just because of this.
I have to admit that Chen Jie's luck today is quite good.
Even in the current state, it has not become a colander for the team, and it can even make mistakes and deter opponents.
Of course, this is also related to Chen Jie's performance in several previous games.
If you had not performed well before and had not established a position before, even if you were still lucky, many people would have noticed.
After Xiao Mo passed the ball to James, there was not much offensive time left.
After James took several tentative steps, Piakowsky was not shaken away. In desperation, James chose to shoot.
His shot hit the rim and went up.
Chandler grabbed the defensive rebound.
The Bulls defense was successful.
Charles Barkley said that a large part of the credit for this defense must be placed on Chen Jie. His defense of Xiao Mo was the key to this successful defense. Because Xiao Mo wasted time, James made a hasty move.
Kenny Smith still agrees with Charles Barkley's view.
By some strange coincidence, Chen Jie is now the most eye-catching person on the field and the one with the best performance in the eyes of the audience.
I don’t know if something like this can continue until the end of the game.
If his team can win by just relying on luck and intimidation, then Chen Jie is really awesome.
Looking at the development of the game, it seems that Chen Jie is heading towards this result.
During a Bulls attack, Chen Jie took the ball from behind and made a triple-threat gesture. Immediately, Xiao Mo felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. The Cavaliers' insiders were even more nervous, ready to defend Chen Jie's breakthrough.
And because of this change of position, Chandler was left open under the basket. Chen Jie threw the ball high, and Chandler caught the ball in the air and completed a dunk!
Luck is still on Chen Jie's side.
After this goal, Paul Silas had to call a timeout.
The Cavaliers were already six points behind. If a timeout was not called, Paul Silas was really afraid that the Bulls would continue to expand their lead.
The Bulls' bench was filled with cheers, and Chen Jie became the focus of celebration.
Everyone praised Chen Jie's performance, but Chen Jie knew that he was just a paper tiger at the moment.
But let's see if the Cavaliers dare to try themselves.
However, no matter how bold the Cavaliers are, they don’t dare to guess like this!
