(I can’t afford to be hurt because I’m too slow, but the quality is good. Don’t worry about collecting it.)
At the beginning of the first half, Chen Jie's blow to the University of North Carolina is still fresh in my mind.
An aerial confrontation blocked Felton's layup, and a breakthrough to the inside to dunk Sean May's skill shocked everyone.
In the second half, Chen Jie's start was not weak at all. Although the double-team break did not have the visual impact of the two goals, it still had a huge psychological impact on the players of the University of North Carolina.
Although it was just a ball, it meant that the North Carolina coach's arrangement failed.
Chen Jie looked at the scoreboard and his heart was full of pride. He wanted to resolve the battle quickly and no longer be entangled with North Carolina.
A 17-point lead, in his opinion, is still not enough.
The second half just started, and within five minutes, the lead expanded to 20 points. Do you believe that UNC will be unable to recover?
North Carolina's offense is not bad, and Felton on the outside has always been a good point guard. Even though he was at a disadvantage in today's confrontation with Chen Jie, Chen Jie did not completely guard him.
Inside, Sean May still has an advantage against Xiao Hei.
Although Xiaohei's physical fitness is good, his defense really needs to be improved.
In this attack, the University of North Carolina used pick-and-roll cooperation and Felton scored 2 points from the mid-range shot.
However, although the University of North Carolina scores, it only scores.
If you want to tie the score and win the game, you can't do it without defense.
Their biggest problem now is their inability to guard against Duke's sharp offense.
Chen Jie's breakthrough was like a Ferrari sports car, once again tearing apart the University of North Carolina's inside line. Sean May, who knew that Chen Jie was also good at passing the ball, hesitated and did not follow up in time when helping to defend. Chen Jie had already
A layup scored two points.
This time, the point difference is still 17 points.
Next, North Carolina hit three consecutive attacks. Although Duke University also hit the ball without narrowing the point difference, Chen Jie became a little anxious.
Such a stalemate, 17 points, although it can ensure that Duke University successfully wins the game, but that is not what he just thought. If there is no suspense in the game early, the main players can get off the court and rest.
On the one hand, this can restore physical strength and face the more challenging Sweet 16 games next. On the other hand, it also avoids injuries in fierce competitions!
Old K's expression was very indifferent, and he even sat down calmly. He still wanted to see the current scene.
North Carolina is not a weak team. Duke can now maintain such a big lead without allowing North Carolina to score too much. He is already very satisfied.
As for what Chen Jie is thinking, Lao K is no longer a young man. That is good, but he cannot force others to do anything.
Therefore, he did not shout from the sidelines to ask the players on the court to use their strength, nor did he call a timeout.
"Coach..." Du Hong sat next to Old K and called.
"What's wrong?" Old K smiled and turned his head. At this moment, he was in a very good mood.
"Can I still play today?" Du Hong was very anxious. Seeing Chen Jie shining brightly on the court, North Carolina was trembling with fear. Du Hong was afraid that his main position would really be lost.
"Later!" Old K nodded.
What he was thinking was that he had actually thought about this match for a long time. The reason why it was useless to suppress Chen Jie was to hold back his energy so that he could fully explode. From today's perspective, Chen Jie's explosion
It's still very effective.
But how long he can maintain this state next is a question that Lao K is very concerned about.
If this can continue like this, he will certainly be the starting point guard at Duke University.
But, is he really an iron man? In such a high-intensity game, this is his first time playing for such a long time, will he really not get tired?
Old K really wants to see where Chen Jie's bottom line potential is, which is why he never replaces Chen Jie.
Among the players on the field, in fact, except for Chen Jie, Redick Jr., the four players did not play the full first half. Only Chen Jie played the full 20 minutes.
But now it seems that Chen Jie is still the most energetic one.
Because in the gap between Lao K and Du Hong talking, Felton missed the shot, the basketball bounced high, and Sean May and Xiao Hei were competing for rebounds at the same time. As the point guard, Chen Jie rushed in.
He jumped high and firmly caught the ball.
"Mine!" Chen Jie said this in Chinese while he was in the air.
This was his habit in his previous life.
Before grabbing a rebound, Chen Jie would yell like this regardless of whether he got the ball or not.
In fact, many Chinese students have this habit when playing basketball.
It's just that Chen Jie is the only one who can call him that in the American arena.
This qualification is a result of luck and Chen Jie's hard training!
"Is this player good?" In a corner of the stands, a middle-aged man in a suit said to a slightly fat white man next to him.
The white man nodded slightly and said with great approval: "What a good young man. He will have the opportunity to grow into a superstar like Steve in the future!"
Steve?
The middle-aged man was slightly startled when he heard this. There are many people in the NBA named Steve. However, when he thought about the identity of this white man, the middle-aged man suddenly realized that what he was talking about should naturally be the current leader of the Houston Rockets.
The star, No. 3 player Steve Francis.
"Is he really living in your house?" The white man asked curiously after approving.
The middle-aged man nodded, he was Beyoncé’s father Gilbert.
"So, what kind of person is he?" The white man seemed to be very curious about Chen Jie.
"A very interesting Oriental. But his origin is unknown. I feel that he is not a bad person. All the documents he has in the United States were obtained by me. Otherwise, after what happened, in the United States,
He has no documents and no identity, but it is difficult for him to move!" Gilbert smiled.
He has always liked Chen Jie, just like Beyoncé. I can't explain the reason for this feeling, maybe it just happened when I first saw him.
"Then he doesn't have any acquaintances in the United States?" the white man asked.
Gilbert nodded and said, "Probably so. He has been at my house for almost half a year now, and I haven't seen him contact anyone. I guess it's not true that he said he lost his memory. But he seems to have something to hide. But
I believe he is not a bad person, it will be good if you understand this!"
The white man nodded and said: "Gilbert, we have been old friends for many years, so of course I believe you! Chen Jie, Jay Sean! Well, a promising kid, if he can come to Houston, I will definitely do it
Dong entertained him. By the way, he and Yao should be compatriots?"
Yao Ming is now becoming more and more famous in the NBA. Gilbert naturally knows his background and nodded: "It should be so!"
"That's great. I can introduce him to Yao when I have time! Yao is also a very good big man!" The white man's fat face smiled very kindly at this moment.
"Fagan, are there any familiar agents?" Gilbert suddenly thought of a key question and asked.
"Agent?" The white man repeated the word.
His name is Feigen, Jonathan Feigen. He is the chief basketball reporter of the Houston Chronicle, the only daily newspaper in Houston, and the only reporter who covers all the games throughout the season. Among many domestic NBA media, Feigen is
Gen's name is probably the most familiar, because the translated versions of his manuscripts are full of major websites and newspapers, and he is an absolute rocket expert.
This is why he and Yao Ming are very familiar with each other. Today, he happened to come to the East with the Rockets to play an away game. After the game, the Rockets will take a two-day break, and Fagan happened to come to Durham to visit his former college classmates.
Gilbert happened to catch up with the game between North Carolina and Duke, so the two came together.
Fagan, who originally planned to have fun, did not expect to find a genius player like Chen Jie, and he did not expect that this genius would actually live with his old classmate.
This made him very curious about Chen Jie.
Therefore, the question and answer just now came into being.
Hearing Gilbert ask this question, Fagan repeated the word "agent" and then said with a smile: "Gilbert, there is no need to worry. His skills will definitely shine in the Sweet Sixteen. By then,
Are you still worried that there aren’t enough agents for him?”
Gilbert shook his head and said: "Many agents today completely regard their players as cash cows. They have no feelings at all. They are very business and only talk about profits. After all, he has lived with me for so long, and he has feelings.
I don’t want him to encounter any potential crises in the future, so I want to ask you to introduce a reliable agent!”
Fagan nodded to express his understanding. At the same time, he understood a little bit about the relationship between Gilbert and Chen Jie, and then said: "Well, I have a few friends. When I have time, I will introduce them to you. But you have to ask
Does Chen Jie have any plans to participate in the draft? What if he wants to play in college for another year?"
Gilbert naturally knew that this was crucial. Chen Jie's attitude was of course important. No matter how well he planned for him, he still had to make his own decision.
So he said: "Well, I have time to ask him this question. But Fegan, tell me the truth. With his strength today, in this game, in your opinion, if he participates in the draft this year, he can win
Which round and which pick?"
Fagan pondered for a moment, seemed a little hesitant, and finally said with uncertainty: "If he was at a normal level today, didn't break out or performed abnormally, he would still be able to enter the first round. After all, many teams now lack someone who can attack and defend like this."
point guard."
Gilbert felt that the first round was already very good and said with a smile: "Don't you dare to think about the lottery area?"
When he said this, he was just joking.
Fagan said seriously: "Dare! But that requires his continued performance. One game like this is not enough. Furthermore, it can be predicted that this year will be a big year for the draft. The LeBron from Ohio High School, the German from Marquette University
Wayne, as well as Carmelo, who has been very eye-catching recently, these can definitely enter the lottery or even the top five. By the way, Chris is also good. There is also a European named Milicic? I heard his voice
It’s also very high, but I don’t pay much attention to this!”
Gilbert heard this and said: "So, what about next year?"
"Next year?" Fagan smiled and said: "Next year, who knows! But looking at it now, next year's rookies will definitely not be as strong as this year's. Furthermore, after a season of training, Chen Jie will definitely be in the lottery.
No problem anymore!”
"You mean Chen Jie might be more suitable to participate in the draft next year?" Gilbert asked.
Fagan smiled and said: "It depends on what he thinks. If you have time, bring him to Houston to see me. I will chat with him!"
Gilbert nodded.
The two of them stopped talking, and on the field, the score had already been drawn.
After Chen Jie grabbed the rebound, he went crazy and hit three-pointers in a row. His hands were so hot that he had scored 24 points so far, and Duke University's lead had also reached 24 points.
Chen Jie's current statistics are 24 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 blocks, which is very comprehensive.
During this timeout, Old K has already replaced him. There are only ten minutes left in the game. North Carolina has no way to save the day, and everyone at Duke is looking forward to the next game.
The moment Chen Jie came off the field, he looked at the scoreboard and muttered: "Success, I've just started!"
While he was speaking, he styled his hair in a coquettish way, and the audience burst into thunderous applause!
