If the ball that Chen Jie defended against Mo Williams just now can be explained by the fact that Chen Jie did not expect that Xiao Mo would do this, so he was not prepared and did not react, then the ball that attacked James,
There is no excuse anymore.
No one could find any reason for Chen Jie to explain this mistake at this moment.
Even Chen Jie's number one fan and TNT's commentator, Charles Barkley, admitted that today, Chen Jie's mind really didn't seem to be on the court.
In fact, what Charles Barkley said is also what everyone thinks at this moment.
Skiles saw it, the other Bulls players saw it, Paul Silas saw it, LeBron James saw it too...
The Cavaliers no longer need to be afraid of Chen Jie. They no longer need to feel as if they are facing a formidable enemy when they see Chen Jie.
At this moment, Chen Jie has lost his intimidation and his previous magic.
What is reflected on the court is that the Cavaliers players took the initiative to give up Paul Silas' arrangements and began to let LeBron James, a more stable scoring point, focus on the offense, because they did not have to consume Chen Jie and suppress Chen Jie.
On the defensive end, their defense against other Bulls players became even tougher. As for Chen Jie, they only sent out one LeBron James, and even LeBron James occasionally went inside to help defend other Bulls.
A player of the team.[
The Cavaliers began to play smoothly, and within two minutes, they recovered a six-point deficit.
On the other hand, the Bulls are in a mess.
Chen Jie is still the point guard, but he is no longer the team's main offensive point. Chris Duhong still believes in Chen Jie. Many times, he still chooses to pass the ball to Chen Jie, but Chen Jie uses
Let me tell everyone about the mistakes they made one by one, or the careless shots they missed. Their guess was correct, Chen Jie's mind was indeed not on the court today.
But Chris Duhong still believed in Chen Jie. He felt that Chen Jie would always find his form, and a temporary low was nothing to Chen Jie.
It is Chandler who has the same idea as Du Hong, but Chandler does not blindly worship Chen Jie, but Chandler feels that now, the Bulls have no retreat, except to believe that Chen Jie can find his form.
The Bulls had no other option.
Giving up Chen Jie means that the Bulls also gave up victory in this game.
Chandler understands this truth.
Therefore, he also kept passing the ball to Chen Jie, hoping that Chen Jie could regain his form soon.
He waited for Chen Jie's recovery.
But Noccioni and Piakowsky had different ideas from Chandler and Chris Duhon.
They feel that since Chen Jie is not in good condition and cannot score offensively, there is no need to waste opportunities by giving the ball to Chen Jie. It is better to play with a few of them, because in that case, maybe he can still score, right?
At least, the Bulls shouldn't fall too far behind before Chen Jie recovers.
Of course, Noccioni and Piakowsky didn't have any objections to Chen Jie himself. At least they felt that at this time, Chen Jie should be allowed to adjust himself instead of passing the ball to Chen Jie one by one, forcing others to do something difficult.
On the court, the Bulls began to have different ideas.
And this is reflected on the court: the Bulls' offense is in chaos.[
Either when the ball gets into the hands of Nocchione Piakowski, the two of them stop passing the ball and just focus on playing alone.
Either the ball was in the hands of Duhong or Chandler, and they didn't even think about attacking, they just kept giving the ball to Chen Jie, even though Chen Jie didn't want the ball at all.
Such chaos also caused the Bulls' situation on the court to take a turn for the worse.
Before they knew it, they hadn't scored for three minutes.
In the first half of the game, there was only one last offensive opportunity left.
Moreover, this offensive opportunity still belongs to the Cleveland Cavaliers!
In fact, Scales should have called a timeout at this time.
The Bulls were playing in such a mess, Skiles should have called a timeout to stabilize the situation.
However, Skiles really didn't know what he could do after the timeout was called.
He is just a coach, he is not a god.
He can arrange reasonable tactics for the team, can make his players unified in thinking, and can even occasionally inspire the fighting spirit of his boys.
However, he is not a psychiatrist, and he doesn't know how to solve Chen Jie's problem at this moment.
At this moment, the Bulls' only problem is that there is something wrong with Chen Jie.
Therefore, even if it means calling a timeout, Scales can do nothing.
In fact, even Scales was hesitating at the moment.
Should we let Chen Jie continue to stay on the court and wait for his recovery, or should we simply replace Chen Jie and let other Bulls players compete with the Cavaliers!
Scales could no longer firm his mind.
At this time, how can he call a timeout and give guidance to his boys?
Skiles's expression also showed confusion at this moment.
From top to bottom, from Skiles to Kwame Brown on the bench, the Bulls don't seem to know what to do now.
And in such a mood, the Bulls saw LeBron James, like a king, making a buzzer-beating three-pointer over Piakowsky's head.
This goal also allowed the Cavaliers to enter the halftime break with a three-point lead.
LeBron James, who turned around and stretched out his hands to celebrate, is really like the emperor of this court!
The halftime break was originally a good opportunity for the team that was lagging behind to breathe and adjust.
However, for today's Bulls team, the fifteen minutes of halftime are simply not enough.
Because what they need is not to adjust, but to wait.
Waiting for Chen Jie to return to his normal state!
And this waiting, everyone knows that it will have results, but no one can know how long they have to wait!
This kind of waiting is like waiting for the sunrise. The sun will come out, but no one knows when it will come out.
If possible, what the Bulls need more is not a fifteen-minute halftime break, but a rematch of this game the next day. Then, they believe that they still have hope of victory.
But what about now?
No one can guess the result!
During the halftime break, Scales just made a decision, that is, in the second half, he still insisted on giving the ball to Chen Jie and simply let Chen Jie play alone.
He believed that Chen Jie could find his form in the second half, and that's when the Bulls would counterattack.
Before that, all the Bulls have to do is wait!
Skiles' arrangement can at least unify the Bulls' players. Next, at least they can play with a unified mind.
Of course, the only hope for this arrangement is to hope that Chen Jie will find his form.
In fact, during the entire intermission, Chen Jie kept his head down, seemed to be in a bad mood, and did not say a word.
No one came up to talk to Chen Jie because they knew something must have happened to Chen Jie.
Otherwise, Chen Jie would not be absent-minded and in such a bad state.
But now, no one dares to comfort Chen Jie.
They were afraid that not only would they not be able to comfort Chen Jie, but if Chen Jie told him what was going on, he would be in a worse mood.
Of course, it's not that they don't care about Chen Jie. For example, Du Hong and Chandler, they are ready to have a good chat with Chen Jie after the game.
Now, basically all the Bulls players can know that something must have happened to Chen Jie at home or somewhere that affected his condition.
So, no one blames Chen Jie.
But they didn't know that Chen Jie was in a bad mood at the moment entirely because he was apologizing to his teammates.
He didn't want to drag down his teammates, but now he really couldn't concentrate on it.
Hearing this, Scales still placed hope on himself, which made Chen Jie feel even more uncomfortable.
His teammates trust him so much, but what do he do on the court?
Chen Jie felt very painful in his heart.
Now, he just hopes that he can solve the Beyoncé matter quickly and get the exact information from Ruth. In that case, he may be able to let it go.
At that time, we must help the team win more wins.
As for today's game, Chen Jie, who was so distraught, no longer had any hope.
Of course, even if he thinks so, Chen Jie will try his best to do his best.
This is why he did not deny Scales' arrangement.
Because the proud Chen Jie is unwilling to admit that he can no longer do it.
He still has to insist on finishing this game.
He even hopes to try to see if he can return to his best condition!
In the second half, Chen Jie's attempts began.
He started to become more active.
He began to take the initiative in singles, and he began to work hard to defend.
However, none of these can play a key role.
In the first half, Chen Jie did not slack off in his work.
What he needs now is to put all his energy on the court and concentrate on every detail, because the competition in basketball games is extremely fierce, and many small details will have a great impact. A little bit of absent-mindedness will affect the player's state.
However, Chen Jie could not achieve this no matter how hard he tried.
As the game time passed minute by minute, Chen Jie still couldn't find his form. His touch was gone, his breakthrough was gone...
He was like a beast trapped in a cage, roaring but unable to truly awaken.
If Chen Jiefa recovers, then the result of the game is doomed.
In the end, although Chen Jie worked hard until the last second, the Bulls still lost to the Cavaliers by 18 points, 102-120.
Chen Jie took 22 shots in the game and only hit six, scoring 18 points. His turnovers were a career-high eight.
LeBron James scored 36 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists. In this face-to-face confrontation with Chen Jie, he completely defeated Chen Jie.
Kwame Brown is the Bulls' leading scorer, with 23 points and 12 rebounds, making him the only bright spot for the Bulls today.
All of this was fixed there at the moment the game ended.
However, for the media, these things that they were most concerned about before the game - the game results and the personal data of Chen Jie and James, now seem not so important.
What they are most concerned about and want to know most now is why Chen Jie suddenly fell into such a slump!
This is their focus.
However, they wanted to interview Chen Jie face to face, but failed.
In the locker room after the game, Chen Jie said nothing and did not answer any reporters' questions.
Even if he had to speak, he could not get any useful information from Chen Jie's mouth.
He just said that he would adjust well and that there was nothing wrong with him, but how could the media believe these clichés?
They wanted to get to the bottom of it, but Chen Jie's lack of cooperation left them unable to do anything.
They tried every method, including provocation and warmth, but they couldn't pry Chen Jie's mouth open.
Chen Jie didn't even attend the press conference after the game. He went directly back to the bus.
The reporters tried to get the answer from Chen Jie's mouth, and they pointed the finger at Chicago's players and coach Skiles! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian. If you vote monthly, you
