(The Thunder were eliminated. It’s really impossible without Wei Shao. Du Shao is really miserable. Hey. Please collect and recommend.)
After the timeout returned to the court and the game restarted, as expected, North Carolina began to tighten its defense on Chen Jie.
Before, Chen Jie was inconspicuous in the entire league. Only a few teammates and old K were familiar with his abilities. Although he had played as a substitute several times in previous games, it was difficult for him to come on the court in garbage time.
It feels like Chen Jie has not fully performed, and naturally he will not be noticed by other teams.
To be honest, North Carolina's coach was surprised when he saw Duke's starting lineup today. Who is this Jay Sean? How did he suddenly become the starting point guard? He didn't understand it at all.
Cannot deploy defense against Chen Jie.
What's more, he thought Duke University's starting point guard Du Hong was injured, so Chen Jie came on to replace him and didn't pay attention at all.
Then Chen Jie was allowed to be on full fire in the first fifteen minutes, assisting, blocking, dunking and breaking through whatever he wanted.
Of course, Chen Jie's strength is the most fundamental condition for achieving all of this.
But now, after the first fifteen minutes of observation, the North Carolina coach gradually understood a little bit of Chen Jie's characteristics, and was naturally able to make targeted defenses.
Outside the three-point line, Felton stayed close to Chen Jie and did not give him a chance to take action. When Chen Jie wanted to break through, North Carolina's entire defensive focus immediately shifted to his side. The road to the basket seemed to be thorny.
Heavy.
Regarding these, Chen Jie, who heard what Lao K said on the court, had naturally expected it, so he was already prepared. When his own side turned off, he took the initiative to play the role of feint to attract firepower for his teammates.
.
Duke University's offense has also changed from Chen Jie's one-man revitalization to the current situation where a hundred flowers are blooming.
Xiao Hei's tip-ins and rebounds under the basket, Shelton's mid-range shots and post-ups, and Redick's three-pointers all showed their lethality.
After these five minutes, North Carolina not only failed to bring the score closer, but was beaten by Duke again.
At halftime, Duke's lead had grown to 15 points, 55 to 40.
Chen Jie, who didn't rest for a minute in the first half, didn't seem to feel tired at all. Instead, he felt that he still hadn't used all his strength.
Chen Jie, who walked to the locker room with Xiao Hei, couldn't stop being happy.
Xiao Hei patted his shoulder and said: "Jie, let me tell you, you are like gold, you can shine sooner or later. You will not be buried. Today is your time to shine!"
Chen Jie was in a good mood, and his energy came out again. He smiled saosao, put on a domineering posture, and said: "Thank you for your good words. I feel like I am possessed by Tracy McGrady today."
This year, McGrady was at his peak with the Magic. He was a two-time scoring champion starting this season.
Therefore, when Chen Jie said these words, Xiao Hei naturally understood that this guy was narcissistic again.
However, Xiao Hei doesn't dislike this about Chen Jie. Instead, he feels that it is interesting to be with such people.
He also imitated Chen Jie's movements and made the same gesture, saying: "Then I am the Toronto Flyer, Vince Carter!"
Cousin, Xiao Hei used these words to tell Chen Jie that in his heart, he really took the brotherhood with Chen Jie very seriously.
Carter.
When Chen Jie heard this name, he thought to himself that this guy is much luckier than Tracy McGrady. Although he has never won a championship or MVP in his life, at least there are still people who want him at the end of his career.
He became famous after his debut in Toronto, played as a half-man and half-god with the Nets, and roamed the Suns and other teams in the late period. He has never faded out of people's sight. Unlike Tracy McGrady, he has even been reduced to hanging around in the CBA.
However, this thought only passed by in a flash, and Chen Jie just sighed softly.
In his opinion, Xiao Hei is a bit like Ben Wallace of the Pistons. He has the same defensive skills and good rebounding awareness, but after all, he is a blue collar. There must be a chance for Xiao Hei to learn from the inside.
's attack.
Chen Jie began to plan the future path for his brother.
With Xiao Hei's body, he can play as a center in the NCAA, but in the NBA, in this era when traditional centers have not completely disappeared, he can also play as a power forward.
However, the position of power forward is still very popular now. Tim Duncan of the Spurs, Kevin Garnett of the Timberwolves, and Chris Webber of the Kings are all popular superstars now.
If Xiao Hei can have a good hand shot and some footwork, with his physical fitness and jumping, he may not be worse than these people.
Duncan's rebound shot, Garnett's rebounding, which is now the most outstanding, and Webber's passing. Everyone has their own characteristics. The specialty that Chen Jie found for Xiao Hei was blocking shots.
When future NBA players hear the name Xiao Hei, they will think of a hot pot feast. Just like Mutombo, just like Ibaka in the future.
Seeing Chen Jie deep in thought, Xiao Hei didn't say anything.
The two of them walked to the locker room, and Old K just encouraged the players not to relax in the second half and to continue to stay vigilant.
After all, with a fifteen-point advantage, this game should be pretty safe in Lao K's opinion.
In the next game, we face Marquette University. This college has a particularly outstanding star player, Dwyane Wade. Playing as a shooting guard, he can completely defeat Redick. This is what Old K has started to do now.
Questions to think about.
The halftime break was not very long. Chen Jie, who didn't take a minute's rest in the first half, just felt like he drank a few Gatorades before the game started.
Walking to the stadium again, the cheers from the audience were still deafening, just like the opening scene.
It's just that obviously, the audience's shouting sounds are somewhat different from the opening scene.
At least, many fans who called the names of Xiao Hei and Redick are now shouting the name Jay Shawn crazily.
Chen Jie felt that the fans were really lovely people. He could win their love just by performing better in the first half. It was not like he was saving the team from danger.
As thick-skinned as he was, he felt a little embarrassed to be so favored. He secretly thought in his heart that he must continue to play well to be worthy of these crazy and adoring fans.
The best thing is to be able to bring Duke an NCAA championship. That way, I will have no regrets about going to the NBA.
Hey, by the way, how many female fans are there in this arena?
Are there any beauties?
Chen Jie, who suddenly thought of this question, raised his head and walked around the stands. However, with so many people, Chen Jie felt that he really couldn't concentrate on looking for the possible beauty.
In the stands, seeing Chen Jie's eyes, Beyoncé became excited and waved vigorously, but there were too many people waving, and Chen Jie didn't even see it.
This made Beyoncé a little disappointed.
Maybe, you belong to many people, not just to me.
Am I obsessed with my previous thoughts?
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………
After looking around the stands, Chen Jie turned his attention to the field again. The NCAA rule required a jump ball in the second half, which made Chen Jie feel a bit too classical.
This time, Xiao Hei once again beat Sean May, and Chen Jie directly got the ball and advanced to half court.
"Clamp this No. 5!" came the voice from the audience.
Ci'ao, do you want to double-team me?
Chen Jie subconsciously glanced at his jersey number and realized that he was talking about himself.
Chen Jie, who had always played wildball in his previous life, was not very sensitive to the issue of numbers, but naturally he had to choose a number to participate in the NCAA competition. The rules can only be between 0-5, 10-15, 20-25, 30-25, 40-
Choose one of the 37 numbers 45, 50-55 and 00.
Let Chen Jie think, he naturally has to choose No. 1. Since he likes McGrady so much, he naturally wants to wear his idol’s number, but unfortunately, No. 1 is already used by someone at Duke University. Therefore, Chen Jie can only choose someone else.
's number.
Chen Jie, who doesn't like big numbers and doesn't have the bad taste of Rodman or Artest who loves world peace, chose a number that he neither likes nor hates: No. 5.
However, Chen Jie didn't seem to pay much attention to this matter. If it weren't for the voice just now, Chen Jie seemed to have forgotten that he was the No. 5 player.
After all, when you are on the court, you don't look at your own jersey.
As soon as he said this, two people rushed up and surrounded Chen Jie.
Chen Jie thought to himself, what is this? So cruel?
He didn't know that after the first half, the North Carolina coach analyzed the first half of the game and found that the marking of Chen Jie was still useless. Even though he didn't play much later in the first half, his attractive firepower made Redick wait.
Everyone broke out, which is not good.
Therefore, the North Carolina coach, who knew that Chen Jie was still a rookie despite his superb skills, decided on such a tactic.
That is, if Chen Jie is not allowed to dribble calmly and organize calmly, he will fall into a quagmire. Without experience, he will definitely make mistakes. In that case, the opportunity of the University of North Carolina will come.
The University of North Carolina can also use his mistakes to chase points.
It is certainly correct to think so.
In everyone's eyes, Chen Jie is naturally a newcomer.
However, none of them knew that Chen Jie had inherited everything from Jay Williams, including his competition experience.
Although this guy has never played in the NBA, he is very familiar with the NCAA.
With a gentle smile, Chen Jie not only did not panic, but dribbled calmly and slowly let the shooting guard who came to double-team him slowly follow his dribbling away from Redick, whom he was supposed to be guarding.
Then, Chen Jie jumped high and passed the ball to Redick, who was now completely open.
North Carolina's small forward immediately rushed over to attack Redick. Redick flicked his wrist and the ball passed to Shelton's hands.
Shelton saw Sean May come up to defend him, and the ball immediately went to Blackie's hands.
Xiao Hei, who was completely open under the basket, dunked the ball very calmly.
A textbook double-team!
Off the court, Coach K couldn't help but applaud. Duke's bench was also in jubilation.
The North Carolina coach sighed bitterly, is this Jay Sean really an unparalleled genius?
But Chen Jie just smiled slightly, and after high-fiving Xiao Hei, he looked at the score and secretly said, North Carolina, stop struggling, let me send you to hell in advance!
