But after the show started, Chen Jie told everyone the news with his performance.
Today, Chen Jie seems particularly positive.
In the opening jump ball, although Chandler beat Jamison, the ball he dialed out was grabbed by Arenas.
Arenas dribbled the ball and immediately wanted a fast break. Unexpectedly, Chen Jie, who caught up with him, was so fast.
He actually slapped Arenas' layup out of bounds!
Arenas did not expect that he, who had made such bold remarks before the game, would be humiliated by Chen Jie in this way on the first ball.
Arenas stood under the basket with a look of disbelief on his face.
Similar to his performance, there were fans and players from both sides.
Chen Jie, what happened today?
A ball may not mean anything.
But immediately, Chen Jie once again stole the Washington Wizards' inbounds serve, and then directly scored the Bulls' first point with a dunk on the fast break. Chicago fans finally dared to look forward to Chen Jie's performance today.
There was surprise in the eyes of Du Hong and others. There is nothing more wonderful than seeing Chen Jie able to perform normally.
The media at the scene were also stunned. Chen Jie was not in a sluggish state at all.
Thinking of their own report before the game, saying that Chen Jie still couldn't play well today, they were a little embarrassed.
But this is just the beginning of the game. Maybe Chen Jie is only hot for three minutes?
With this idea in mind, the media began to look forward to Chen Jie returning to the form he had in previous games.
It's a pity that Chen Jie let them down.
After this chop, Chen Jie still didn't turn off the engine.
In the next few attacks of the Bulls, Chen Jie was very active in asking for the ball. Then, he played singles.
It seems that once the basketball is in Chen Jie's hands today, it will never come out again.
In the first quarter alone, Chen Jie scored 20 points.
It seems that tonight is another miraculous night.
Jordan has stood up and applauded Chen Jie countless times.
Chicago fans finally got excited.
As for the media, none of them knew how to report after the game.
This is just the first quarter, only the first quarter, there are still three quarters of the game. He won't always play so well, no!
The media still comfort themselves in this way.
However, today Chen Jie is going to break all their wishes.
In the second quarter, Chen Jie scored 20 points again.
In the first half alone, he scored 40 points.
Is this a miracle that hasn’t happened in the United Center for a long time?
In comparison, Arenas pales in comparison. In the first half, he was restricted by Lul Deng who did not need to attack at all. His ten points looked so pitiful.
After the game, it is estimated that Arenas' pre-game rhetoric will be revealed and old scores will be settled.
In the second half, amid the applause of the United Center fans, Chen Jie kept up his efforts.
In the third quarter, Chen Jie didn't rest for a minute. He scored 25 points, setting a new career scoring high.
No one doubts Chen Jie's condition anymore.
I just didn't expect that his outburst would be so ferocious.
Under the leadership of Chen Jie, the Bulls led the Wizards by as much as 30 points after the third quarter.
Arenas' wild words about winning before the game became a laughing stock.
In the end, without even playing in the fourth quarter, Chen Jie scored 65 points, setting a new record for the highest score at the United Center in front of Jordan.
But it seems that Mr. Qiao, who had his record broken, is not depressed at all, on the contrary, he is very happy.
He even went to Chen Jie to congratulate him after the game.
As for Chen Jie, he took off his clothes after the game and revealed his vest with a line of words written on it.
"You see, Jones, Shaq, this is my performance, are you satisfied?"
Chen Jie's words are undoubtedly the best slap in the face to O'Neal and Jones for questioning Chen Jie.
All the cameras were pointed at Chen Jie, capturing this very precious shot.
Many media outlets are secretly rejoicing. It seems that the only people Chen Jie wants to slap in the face are just a few high-flyers. He has spared people like himself.
But will Chen Jie really let it go?
How is it possible that with his character, he would let go of any media?
Scored 65 points today. How could Chen Jie give up this great opportunity to slap someone in the face?!
After the game, after accepting the celebrations from his teammates in the locker room, Chen Jie rushed to the press conference with Skiles. As soon as he entered the door, before reporters could ask questions, Chen Jie said: "I have nothing to say. I played well today."
No, I only scored 65 points. The reason is very simple. I seem to feel uncomfortable. This feeling is like I have hit a wall. I feel that I need to adjust myself!"
After saying this, Chen Jie stood up and left the press conference room without looking back.
Behind him, the reporters looked at each other in disbelief, their faces flushed.
Scales looked at Chen Jie's back and smiled.
Chen Jie performed well, and he was happier than anyone else. Now it seems that Chen Jie really has no problems. His poor performance before might be due to something happening.
Anyway, he's back now. Nothing could be better than this.
As for the sixty-five points, Skiles doesn't care about that.
Of course, while Chen Jie is attacking the media, Scales can't be idle either.
He also wants to earn some face for Chicago.
His target is Arenas, who made bold remarks before the game.
"Some people seem to say that Chicago will definitely beat us. Now that the results are out, we won 120 to 89. What else can he say?"
Skiles' words made Arenas' cheeks heat up at the scene.
Scales had to say this. Originally, it was best for Chen Jie. But Chen Jie left in a hurry. As a coach, Scales must be proud of his team.
Otherwise, Skiles will lose a lot of respect in this team in the future.
And now, although Arenas has been offended, the Chicago players will probably like Skiles even more.
While the media are still digesting various events today and thinking about how to report them back home.
Chen Jie has already driven his car home.
Today, he performed well, and he knew that Li Ming'er was no longer angry.
Therefore, he wanted to spend a wonderful night with Li Ming'er.
Even though he scored 65 points, setting a new high for himself, Chen Jie still had no problems with his physical strength.
Needless to say, there was no need to say more about what happened between Chen Jie and Li Ming'er that night. Once they were in harmony, the previous estrangement between the two completely disappeared.
The next day, rumors spread throughout the league about Chen Jie's 65 points.
This news replaces the previous news about Chen Jie's poor performance.
In one game, Chen Jie changed the nation's view of himself.
Jones, who said that Chen Jie had fallen, could only speak harshly at this time.
There is a lot of chance in a game. If he keeps performing like this, then it will be really normal.
Keep acting like this?
After knowing what Jones said, Chen Jie was very obedient and did as he said.
Next, in three consecutive games in Chicago, Chen Jie amazingly scored three consecutive 50+ games. Until the All-Star Game, the Chicago Bulls' record soared, winning 12 consecutive games.
And Chen Jie, during this winning streak, averaged 41 points per game and became a miracle in the league!
In this half month, Chen Jie is definitely the hottest star in the league.
There is no one.
Many superstars have expressed their admiration for Chen Jie.
"Let me just say, he is a phenomenal player. He is not a rookie at all, absolutely not. The league should consider Chen Jie being the MVP this season!" McGrady said.
"He is the best player in the league, yes, that's what I think. He is better than Kobe Allen and others, I have always thought so!" Xiao Hei said.
"He's a superstar. He's becoming a legend. Yes, that's right, you heard me right. Although this is his first season, he's becoming a legend. I'm looking forward to being teammates with him on the national team.
It feels like that!" It was the first time that Yao Ming was so domineering and arrogant.
"Jay, don't tell me about him. This kid makes me afraid to face him now. At least recently, he is better than me!" Kobe said.
…………………………………………………………………………
Chen Jie has become accustomed to receiving praises one after another.
The happiest thing for him now is to see that the media doesn't like him, but still can't get rid of him, and still sings praises for himself.
There is nothing more interesting than this.
And that reporter, Jones, has now become the laughingstock of the United States.
Shaquille O'Neal has not dared to face the media for a long time, for fear of being poked in a sore spot.
Even, because a basketball program Charles Barkley accidentally kicked what O'Neal and Chen Jie would say when they were teammates in the All-Star Game, O'Neal's heart broke out. He got angry at Barkley and cursed at each other in the distance.
The farces one after another underline Chen Jie's current omnipotence.
With the help of Chen Jie, the Bulls' record before the All-Star Game finally reached the first place in the Eastern Conference.
They now lead the Pistons by two games.
Skiles was also honored to become the head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Stars.
The All-Star Game, the league's big party, is here before you know it.
It can be said that Chen Jie is very busy during this All-Star Game.
Not only do you have to participate in the Skills Challenge and Slam Dunk Contest, but you also have to participate in the Rookie Challenge and the main game.
For three days, there were Chen Jie’s projects every day.
And this All-Star Game happened to be held at the Pepsi Center in Denver, which has a story with Jay O'Neal.
Many people are beginning to look forward to the excitement at that time.
On February 19th, Chen Jie and Li Ming'er came to Denver. (To be continued...)
