That night, Chen Jie fell asleep alone in the guest room.
However, despite this, after getting up the next day, Chen Jie's mood was completely different from the previous few days.
Because Li Ming'er, whom he was most worried about, had returned.
Moreover, it seems that Li Ming'er has forgiven herself.
Now, Chen Jie can finally put down the burden in his heart and move forward at full speed!
And obviously, when Chen Jie puts all his energy into it, no one can stop him!
It’s not that he doesn’t care about the doubts swirling around the league about whether he’s hit the rookie wall, it’s not that he’s not angry with Jones for slandering him, and it’s not that he doesn’t want to counter O’Neal’s remarks.
However, before Li Min'er came back, Chen Jie was not in any mood to do these things.
But things are different now. Li Ming'er is back, and Chen Jie can slap those who doubt him in the face one by one.[
January 25th, the third day after the game against the Magic. On this night, the Chicago Bulls will face the challenge of the Washington Wizards at home.
This season, the Bulls have played against the Wizards twice, winning once and losing once.
The loss was because Chen Jie did not go to Washington with the team.
In terms of strength, the Chicago Bulls have the upper hand against the Wizards.
In the past, Chicago fans must have been very optimistic now. But in today's game, they couldn't be optimistic.
Because of the overwhelming reports recently, many Chicago fans also know that Chen Jie is in a sluggish state. Moreover, in the opinion of the media, this sluggish state should continue for some time.
Chen Jie is in a slump, Luer Deng has not performed as well as he did in the two games he just returned from, and Hinrich has not yet returned to his normal state. Who else can the Bulls count on?
Before the game, many people were not optimistic that the Bulls would win this game.
Even the Chicago fans and media seemed to have lost hope.
In the morning, the Washington Wizards and their team rushed to Chicago.
It was obvious that when they walked out of the airport, they were all very relaxed.
The Bulls without Chen Jie are like a tiger without its minions. The Wizards players feel that they can easily defeat them.
Even though it’s an away game.
The Wizards' number one star and Agent 0 Arenas even made some bold remarks when he walked out of the airport to be interviewed by the media.
"We came to Chicago just to win!"[
This sentence quickly spread across the United States.
Many neutral media lamented that a phoenix in trouble is worse than a chicken. The current Chicago Bulls are so looked down upon.
Of course, there are also a lot of media who are gloating about their misfortune. It seems pretty good to see the Chicago Bulls being bullied after they fell.
Of course the Chicago fans and media were very angry, but they couldn't stand up and start a verbal spat with Arenas.
Because they have no confidence!
Even many Bulls players looked in high spirits before the game.
This season, the Bulls have been going smoothly and have encountered almost no setbacks. Even when they had a brawl with the Miami Heat at the American Airlines Center and two key players were suspended, Chicago's record has not deteriorated. It has even improved.
But now, Chen Jie is in a sluggish state, and Chicago has immediately become a weak team that everyone bullies.
At this time, everyone realized that for the Bulls, Chen Jie was the backbone.
It's a pity that this pillar of support seems like he won't be back in the near future.
People sighed and groaned, but no one was looking forward to it.
No, someone expected it.
To be precise, there are still people looking forward to it.
Mininger Li and Beyoncé came to the United Center together tonight. They really wanted to see Chen Jie's performance today.
Chen Jie, who had long known that Li Min'er would come today, was still humming a tune while changing clothes in the dressing room.
But many people, including Scales, looked grim, and Chris Duhon stopped even joking.
Chen Jie's mood was once again incompatible with his teammates.
"The Wizards are not a weak team. Although they are currently ranked behind us, their strength is not worse than ours. I don't need to say more about Gilbert's scoring ability. In this game, Ruhr
Deng, you have to have a heavier task. And Larry Hughes, you have to pay attention to his steals, his movements are very fast. You also need to pay special attention to Antoine inside, he has a good shot... In short, this
This game is very difficult for us, we must be more careful!"
At this point before the game, while Skiles was still talking about the game tirelessly, he reminded his players to pay attention to some things.
The Bulls players listened very carefully, and, judging from the seriousness on their faces, they knew what kind of challenge they had to face tonight.
Kwame Brown came from the Wizards, so he certainly knows how good many players on this team are.
In his opinion, if Chen Jie cannot recover, then tonight will be really unlucky.
But, is it possible to expect Chen Jie to recover from the rookie wall now?
Kwame Brown shook his head.
His teammates feel the same way as him.
They simply did not expect Chen Jie to return to form now.
Skiles has even thought about it, Chen Jie will still start in this game, but Scales is only prepared to let him play for about 20 minutes.
Skiles' purpose is to let Chen Jie use this time to adjust himself.
As for expecting Chen Jie to make a contribution, Scales still doesn't dare to hold out hope.
They all witnessed Chen Jie's sluggishness in the last game.
Skiles finished his final instructions and it was time for the Bulls players to take the field.
In this game, the Bulls still ranked Duhong, Chen, Gerul, Deng Kwame, Brown, Chandler in the starting lineup.
On the Wizards' side, it's Larry Hughes, Arenas, Jamison Jeffries and Blake.
When the players entered the field before the game, the cheers from the Bulls fans were obviously not as enthusiastic as before.
Obviously, Chicago fans are not in high spirits.
However, before the game started, when the camera showed a character, the Chicago fans still cheered enthusiastically.
Because this person once gave them the most beautiful time.
Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, today, he came to the United Center to watch the game live.
For both teams, Jordan has special meaning to them.
It was Jordan who led Chicago to the top.
It was also Jordan who once again made a comeback with the Wizards.
Even, for many players from both teams, Jordan has special meaning. For example, Kwame Brown...
Jordan's appearance made the atmosphere at the United Center reach a small "goho".
However, many media present felt that Jordan came at the wrong time today.
Because the performance of his successor Chen Jie today will obviously make him very unhappy.
The media was gloating about this, the fans were excited, and the game was finally about to begin.
When the starting players of the two teams came to the court and shook hands, it could be seen that Arenas was very confident.
He seemed to think the Wizards would win tonight.
But he also ignored Chen Jie's eyes and what he wanted to express.
That is, tonight, I am back.
The United Center has always been my territory. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian. Your monthly vote is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m to read.)
