In the locker room of the United Center, Chen Jie was changing clothes and preparing to go to the arena. There was still no smile on his face.
Next to him, Chris Duhon, Chandler and others were chatting and laughing, which was very lively.
But it seems that Chen Jie is out of tune with this excitement.
This afternoon's press conference can be said to be a great success.
After Chen Jie made his statement, Selena showed evidence of the story behind the photo of Chen Jie and Ruth holding hands.
Stephen, the owner of the Clevelander Bar, was finally persuaded by Fagan to record a video himself, proving that what happened at the Clevelander Bar that day was not a reason Chen Jie made up at will, but actually happened.
With his testimony, Chen Jie's words seem much more credible.
The photo of him and Ruth can be explained completely.
Ruth's matter has been explained clearly, and the matter of Ivanka and Jessica is actually not that difficult.[
After all, the media, mainly the New York Times, has no direct evidence to prove that the relationship between Chen Jie and Ivanka Jessica is unusual.
That report seemed credible mainly because Jones played a word game.
Because there were photos of Ruth and Chen Jie, the story about the two of them seemed very credible. Jones started to analyze bit by bit, took out some photos that were not evidence, and analyzed Ivanka
What happened with Jessica.
Now, Chen Jie has uncovered the source of Jones' report, which is the photo of himself and Ruth holding hands.
Then the matter between Ivanka and Jessica was naturally overturned.
As long as Chen Jie and Ivanka Jessica insist that they have nothing to do with each other, I believe that even if someone believes Jones' words, there will be no waves in the future.
Of course, there is one more thing that Chen Jie needs to explain, and that is why Ivanka came to Chicago.
However, Chen Jie and Selina Feigen had already thought of a countermeasure for this matter, and Chen Jie directly talked about her matter. He didn't know it himself.
After that, of course the media can only ask Ivanka.
Jessica received Chen Jie's previous guidance and no longer needed to avoid the media. In the afternoon, she deliberately went shopping with Ivanka. She was also deliberately photographed by the media.
It seems that Jessica and Ivanka are telling everyone that they came to Chicago and had nothing to do with Chen Jie, they were just worried, so they met to relax.
In this case, the media will have nothing to say.
The press conference lasted for an hour. Selena and Fagan were very satisfied afterwards and felt that the effect was very good.
Although it is not possible to eliminate all the negative effects on Chen Jie at once, at least as time goes by, no one will mention this matter.
The Bulls' internal staff, players and coaches are naturally also concerned about this press conference. They all watched the live broadcast at home or in the arena.[
Seeing that Chen Jie's statement was so strong, and he also provided favorable evidence on many things, it seemed that the matter could really come to an end, and they were in a good mood.
This is why Chris Duhon and others can feel so relaxed before the game.
It's just that they are in a good mood. It doesn't mean that Chen Jie is in a good mood.
Chen Jie is still not happy now.
It seems that this incident in the New York Times has almost been solved. At least, this crisis public relations was very successful. As long as Chen Jie slowly works hard and uses time to prove himself, one day, this incident will be solved.
, will completely disappear.
But that's not what Chen Jie cares about.
He was thinking about Li Ming'er.
Last night, after making that phone call, Li Ming'er did not come home as expected.
Chen Jie spent a lonely night alone.
This morning, Chen Jie called Li Ming'er several times. Li Ming'er turned on the phone, but she didn't answer the phone.
At noon, Chen Jie held a press conference, and he thought Li Ming'er would also see it.
Then, she should call herself.
But until now, Li Ming'er's call has not come.
Is she still angry?
Where is she now?
Chen Jie couldn't help but feel worried.
Just when Chen Jie was still thinking about Li Min'er, Chris Duhong came over.
He said to Chen Jie: "Let's go Jie, the game is about to start! It's time to play!"
After hearing Du Hong's words, Chen Jie came to his senses, sorted out his jersey and protective gear, and walked out of the locker room.
Let's finish the game first and then talk about it. This was Chen Jie's thought before he walked out of the locker room.
However, can he really play this game well?
Beyoncé made Chen Jie distracted before. What's more, he just saw Beyoncé.
But now, Li Ming'er and Chen Jie have separated in a cold war. Can Chen Jie still concentrate on playing basketball?
…………………………………………………………………………
The United Center today is still empty.
Fans must also know that Chen Jie has good public relations during press conferences, and they can't help but look forward to Chen Jie's performance tonight.
Coupled with the return of Hinrich and Luer Deng today, they will face the not-so-powerful Bucks. If nothing goes wrong, the Bulls will gain a victory.
So it seems that the fans are still very excited and happy.
In fact, the Bucks still have a glorious history.
The Bucks are the team that took the shortest time from establishment to championship in the history of the NBA. After they joined the NBA in 1968, they took the championship trophy back to the trophy room that had not been used much in just three years. The Bucks
The team's good luck began with a lottery. After finishing last in the first year, they got the No. 1 pick Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, later known as "Skyhook." This super center in NBA history started a brilliant NBA career with the Bucks.
career, and also made the Bucks become a strong team. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was selected as an All-Star for six consecutive years in Milwaukee, and was elected MVP three times. In his rookie season, the Bucks were completely transformed. In 1970, the Bucks entered the Eastern Conference from the weak in one fell swoop.
Finals. A year later, they got another All-Star - "Big O" Oscar Robertson. This year they not only reached the finals, but also swept the Baltimore team with a total score of 4:0.
Winning the NBA championship as quickly as possible. Since then, the Bucks have become a strong team in NBA, becoming the first team in NBA history to win more than 60 regular season games for three consecutive years. In 1974, they reached the NBA again
In the finals, together with the Celtics, they starred in a classic battle in the history of the finals. In the sixth game of the two sides, the Bucks, who were trailing 2-3 with a total score of 2-3, stubbornly dragged the game to the second overtime.
, 3 seconds before the end, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s signature hook score allowed the Bucks to turn defeat and equalize the total score. Unfortunately, they were unable to win the deciding game and missed the championship. No one thought that they would never win again.
There is no way to get on the stage of the finals.
In 1976, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was traded to the Lakers. Since then, the Bucks have remained a strong team in the NBA under the coaching of Don Nelson (now the current Mavericks coach Old Nelson), reaching the playoffs 9 times in 11 years and 12 consecutive years.
The annual winning rate exceeded 50%. Although they never reached the top again, they achieved their 1,000th victory in the 1988-89 season (a total of 1,654 games played).
After entering the 1990s, the Bucks began to sink, and once returned to the bottom position in the Eastern Conference. In 1994, they once again got the No. 1 pick, but this time "big dog" Glenn Robinson failed to help them reborn like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. 1996
The joining of rookie Ray Allen gave them renewed hope, and they hired Cassell in 1998. This iron triangle and the famous coach George Karl made the Bucks finally return to the playoffs after seven years.
They continued to recover and returned to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2001. Unfortunately, they lost 3-4 to the 76ers led by Iverson, who showed his sharpness that year.
After that, the Bucks fell into another slump. Robinson and Cassell were sent away one after another. Payton, who was exchanged for Ray Allen, did not stay long. Only Red was left who could play a leading role.
Before the start of last season, someone predicted that the Bucks would become spectators in the regular season. Winning 20 games was already a very good result. However, the Bucks ended up winning 41 games, which is also the most beautiful fairy tale in the league.
One. Rookie T.J. Ford’s flash performance also inspired Milwaukeeans.
Last season was the season when Michael Redd stood out. Before last season, Redd was not a regular starter, but last season, he became the tenth leading scorer in the scoring list, with an average of
He scored 217 points per game. As a result, Redd was selected to last season's All-Star team. He was also a member of the NBA's best third team of the season. However, it can be said that Redd is the best among outstanding athletes, but he also said
Not a superstar.
This season, the Bucks basically used the main lineup from last season.
The head coach of the Bucks is Terry Porter.
Porter just started his coaching career last season. Before that, Porter had just ended his 17-season playing career. During the 17 seasons, Porter played for the Portland Trail Blazers.
Porter, Minnesota Timberwolves, Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs, his team's winning percentage reached 815 wins and 547 losses, a winning percentage of 598%, and only failed to enter the playoffs once. During Porter's playing career, he has a total of
Participated in 1,274 games, averaging 122 points, 56 assists and 124 steals per game. Among all players in NBA history, Porter's total assists reached 7,160, ranking tenth.
Last season, Porter led the Bucks to a record of 41 wins and 41 losses. This was only Porter's first season as coach. In the second season, Porter, who was more familiar with the team, took on the coaching position.
More comfortable. However, the Bucks are not strong, which is the main reason why the Bucks have a poor record now.
The current star of the Bucks is naturally Michael Redd, who shined last season.
Last season, Reid's outstanding performance made him selected to the All-Star team. This season, Reid still maintained his form. He averaged 217 points per game and was the Bucks' leading scorer.
The main power forward is Joe Smith. He is one of the main barriers for the Bucks inside. He was officially ordered to leave the Timberwolves by NBA officials because he signed a private contract with the Timberwolves. Last season, he averaged 109 points and 85 rebounds per game for the Bucks.
and 124 blocks. With the departure of Skinner this season, Smith has a heavier burden on his shoulders. In this season's games, Smith's playing time has increased compared to last season, and his statistics have also improved significantly.
Keith Van Horn was the second overall pick in 1997. He is an excellent outside shooter and has certain offensive abilities in the low post. He was the main small forward of the Bucks last season and continues to be the starting small forward of the Bucks this season.
.This season, the 2.11-meter-tall Van Horn has helped Joe Smith and other inside players very well. It is estimated that other statistics in rebounding and defense will also further increase.
The other two positions are Mason and TJ Ford.
These two players also have their own characteristics.
Mason's jump was "excellent" and his performance in the slam dunk contest is still fresh in the memory of many people.
Ford, on the other hand, is very fast. It is estimated that Chris Duhon will face a big test today.
But speaking of which, Ford is also a second-year rookie, and his confrontation with Duhong can be regarded as a contest between young people.
There is no suspense about the Bucks' starting lineup, and the Bulls' starting lineup does not exceed many people's expectations.
Although Hinrich and Luer Deng returned, Skiles, who was reliable, still did not let these two players who had missed many games play.
Duhon and Griffin are still the team's starting point guard and small forward.
At the shooting guard position, Chen Jie is obviously still involved in the Playboy rumors.
Although many people predict that this incident, although it has been solved well now, it will still affect Chen Jie's condition to some extent. But Scales still chooses to believe in Chen Jie.
He still gave Chen Jie a chance to start.
In fact, after watching the press conference, many people also preferred Chen Jie to continue playing in the game.
After all, in the timely reports on many websites after the game, it can be clearly seen from the writing that the media has already planned to make a fuss about this matter.
The New York Times report is now regarded as a farce.
The center is still Chandler, and the power forward is still Noccioni, but it is obvious that Kwame Brown, who has performed well recently, will have to spread his playing time more or less.
In the pre-game appearance ceremony, although his performance in the last game was sluggish, Chen Jie still received the warmest applause from the United Center fans.
It can be seen that the fans have not reduced their love for Chen Jie just because of one report.
After the entrance ceremony, the game is about to begin.
The on-site camera lens was pointed at the stands.
Today, two stars came to the United Center.
Two women, Ivanka and Jessica, came to the scene together to cheer Chen Jie.
This is also a demonstration against the New York Times reporting.
Didn’t you say we had a scandal?
Now we don't shy away from suspicion and come to watch the game. What can you do to us?
When the fans saw Ivanka and Jessica, they also gave them warm applause. This can be regarded as a kind of support for Chen Jie!
