Before the game, no one expected it! Even during the game, after Wade scored the go-ahead goal, no one could have imagined that the final result would be like this.
Chen Jie did not call a timeout or even attack. When his team was lagging behind, he still chose to delay the game until the last second before throwing the ball.
And it was this fateful goal that Chen Jie actually made.
His almost life-threatening choice made this ball worth thousands of dollars!
The moment the ball was scored, many fans at the scene, so many superstars in the stands, including players from both teams, and commentators in the media box, did not even react.
Except Chen Jie himself.[
The moment the ball was thrown, Chen Jie seemed to have predicted that the ball would definitely go in. He didn't even look at the ball, he just kept shooting. If you look at the slow motion, you will definitely find that Chen Jie
There was even a trace of a relaxed smile on his face.
He was so confident in himself, he thought the goal would definitely go in.
Everyone thought that Chen Jie was putting himself to death, but only Chen Jie knew that he was not putting himself to death, because he knew that he would definitely make the ball.
He just doesn't want to leave any chance to the second grade team!
After about a second, so many people at the scene finally reacted.
The Nuggets fans and Anthony fans in the stands were stunned and looked surprised, as if they still couldn't believe what was happening in front of them was real.
Just now, Chen Jie's key goal made them despair, and Wade's go-ahead goal made them hope again. Now, Chen Jie used such a winning goal to make them completely despair.
Emotions were going up and down like a roller coaster, and the hearts of these fans had already been unable to bear it.
The players sitting on the bench of the first-year team, Iguodala and others, although they were not on the court at the critical moment, after all, they are also members of the first-year team. Seeing the team's victory, they also happily stood up from the bench.
He jumped up, waved his towel, and ran towards the field.
Chen Jie stood there with his hands raised.
Luer Deng was the first to come to Chen Jie. He shouted loudly: "Jie, we won, we really won. We defeated the second-grade team!"
However, the sound at the scene was so noisy that Chen Jie couldn't hear what he was yelling at all.
He seemed to be very happy when he saw Lu Erdeng shouting at him excitedly.
He stretched out his hand towards Lu Erdeng. Lu Erdeng stepped forward fiercely and hugged Chen Jie.
Chen Jie really didn't expect that his thin body could actually lift him up.[
Then, it was Howard, Harris, Al Jefferson, and all the substitutes from the first-year team. They stepped forward together and pushed Chen Jie to the ground. They roared fiercely and beat him hard.
Chen Jie's chest, "rubbing" Chen Jie's hair.
Chen Jie also smiled cheerfully and was not dissatisfied at all because of his teammates' craziness.
On the second-year team's side, many people felt uncomfortable watching the first-year team's crazy celebration.
Especially Anthony, his eyes were dull at the moment, standing under the basket with his hands on his waist, looking at the place where Chen Jie was knocked down by his teammates, he was in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking.
Wade looked determined, not affected by the failure.
He did not go to the bench, but was the first to go to the first-year team coaching bench and greeted the first-year team coach first.
This is still All-Star Weekend after all.
The only important thing to look at during the game is the outcome. In fact, the level of attention the two teams paid today is unprecedented in history. After the game, if you still stick to the outcome, it would be a bit ungrateful.
James immediately realized this. After sighing for a while, he quickly adjusted his emotions and walked first to the coach, then to the players of the first-year team who had finished celebrating, congratulating and shaking hands one by one.
Many second-year team players saw this scene and realized that it was still the Rookie Challenge and the All-Star Weekend. Many of them were opponents today and might become teammates after the weekend.
For example, Xinrich and Chen Jie.
Therefore, like James Wade, they quickly came to the players of the first-year team who had calmed down, congratulating them on their victory and talking about something.
During the few minutes when the players were celebrating their victory on the field, a lot of things happened in the stands.
Li Ming'er, who came to Denver with Chen Jie, was sitting among the superstars. After seeing Chen Jie hit the buzzer-beater, Li Ming'er stood up and applauded Chen Jie. This scene was also captured by many cameras.
Presumably, tomorrow's news that Chen Jie's wife will accompany him to the All-Star Weekend and applaud her boyfriend's wonderful performance will allow many people to see that Chen Jie has already recovered from the impact of the New York Times Playboy incident report.
Already.
And those superstars, Kobe, Garnett, Pierce, McGrady, Iverson, these people seemed more excited than Chen Jie. After seeing Chen Jie hit the buzzer-beater, they felt like their own team was shooting in the regular season.
As if he had scored a game-winner, everyone jumped up from their chairs in excitement. Iverson even threw away his hat.
Several people came to the court from the stands and went to find Chen Jie to congratulate him.
In the CCTV broadcast room, Zhang Weiping, Yang Yi and Yao Ming were also very excited.
Chen Jie made a buzzer beater and the first grade team won. He scored 44 points and will undoubtedly be the mvp of this game.
Although the Rookie Challenge MVP is the most inconspicuous of the many MVP trophies in the league, it is still an MVP trophy after all.
From Wang Zhizhi to Yao Ming, and even Battelle, there are people in China who have won NBA championships, and there are people who have won Best of the Month, but no one in China has been able to get a decent personal honor.
Now, Chen Jie can be said to have achieved zero breakthrough for China.
How could a few people not be excited?
After accepting congratulations from superstars such as Maddie, Kobe and Garnett, Chen Jie and James chatted a few more words. At this time, David Stern also walked down from the stands accompanied by a group of staff.
The selection of the Rookie Challenge mvp trophy is very simple. As soon as the game is over, the judges have actually chosen the winner.
There is no problem in giving the MVP trophy to Chen Jie.
Stern stepped down just to present the MVP trophy to Chen Jie.
At this time, as the league president, Stern must say a few words in front of the entire audience.
Surrounded by a group of first-year and second-year rookies, Chen Jie stood next to Stern, and Stern took the microphone.
He first announced that Chen Jie won the Rookie Challenge MVP. In fact, when he announced it, many people were not surprised.
If the first grade team wins, who will give the MVP trophy if not Chen Jie?
What's important is that everyone wants to hear how the league president, Mr. Stern, evaluated Chen Jie's performance today.
Oh, no, it should be about how Mr. Stern, the league president, evaluated the player Chen Jie.
This is the question that many people want to know the most.
Stern lived up to expectations.
As expected, he made an evaluation of Chen Jie.
However, his comments about Chen Jie moved many media people present.
Because this evaluation is actually a bit too high.
In fact, Stern's evaluation is very simple. It can be summed up in just four words.
"Star within a star!"
However, if you know how many people in the league have received such an evaluation over the years, you will know how shocking this evaluation is.
It has been more than 20 years since Stern came to power.
He has witnessed the careers of a large number of superstars including Black and White and Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley and Olajuwon.
Among so many superstars, Stern has only given this evaluation to two people.
One is the god of basketball back then, the man who influenced the world of basketball, Michael Jordan.
The other one is the little man among the giants, who let everyone know that short men can also play basketball, and they can also play as well as Allen Iverson.
Except for these two people, no one else has ever received Stern's evaluation.
And Chen Jie became the third person Stern commented on today.
Moreover, you must know that those two players, Jordan and Iverson, were only evaluated by Stern after they won the All-Star MVP trophy after the All-Star Game, while Chen Jie was evaluated in the Rookie Challenge.
Stern said so.
Obviously, maybe, in Stern's eyes, Chen Jie is more powerful than the other two people.
You know, this is the first season of Chen Jie's career!
After Stern finished his evaluation of Chen Jie, many media players were stunned for a moment.
They did not expect that Stern would give Chen Jie such a high evaluation.
However, soon, the players and media reporters reacted.
Judging from Chen Jie's amazing performance in his rookie season, he indeed deserves such an evaluation.
Suddenly, there was thunderous applause.
Pepsi Center seems to have become Chen Jie’s blessed place.
Here, he gained the first important personal honor of his career, created the most classic game of his career so far, and received such high praise from the league president.
Chen Jie will definitely like this place very much.
After Stern's evaluation, at the award ceremony, the staff handed the MVP trophy to Stern. Stern took it, then put down the microphone and handed the trophy to Chen Jie with both hands.
Chen Jie took the trophy and just raised it.
Countless spotlights flashed, and this moment became a classic moment in Chen Jie's career!
