After Carter's dunk, there was not much time left in the first half.
The Western team has one last chance to attack, but it only lasts ten seconds.
When Kobe caught the ball, he no longer had to control the time. He immediately launched an attack.
Chen Jie also chose to press the whole court and try to slow down Kobe's rhythm through the half.
As a result, Chen Jie's pressing was effective. After Kobe passed halftime, there were only three seconds left. Kobe had no time to break through or adjust. He brought the ball to the three-point line and faced Chen Jie.
I chose to take a three-point shot.
Chen Jie was not thrown away by Kobe at all. As soon as Kobe shot, Chen Jie jumped up and blocked the shot.
In the end, Chen Jie's fingertips touched the basketball thrown by Kobe. The basketball changed its trajectory and deviated from the basket. The Western Team's last attack still failed to score.
At halftime, the score was fixed at 61-57, with the Eastern All-Stars leading by four points.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The halftime break in the All-Star Game is different from the regular season playoffs.
In the midfield of the All-Star Game, the players basically will not leave the court. The entire All-Star Game is like a big party, and these superstars can be said to be the protagonists of the party. In the middle of the party, how could they
How about leaving easily?
During the halftime break, there was a performance by singer Kelly, performances by the mascots, and many interactive activities.
Many superstars basically choose to sit on the bench, drink energy drinks, chat and laugh while watching the midfield performance to relax.
Players who like to play tricks will also participate in activities, interact with fans on the spot, or have fun with the mascots.
Arenas once used a trampoline to complete a hip-hand dunk during halftime, and that scene is also talked about.
But today, Chen Jie, who participated in the All-Star Game for the first time, missed out on all this fun.
After accepting the invitation from CCTV, two Chinese players, Chen Jie and Yao Ming, came to CCTV's live studio during the halftime break.
This is the first time that two Chinese players, one center and one guard, have participated in the All-Star Game at the same time. This is of great significance to Chinese basketball.
This means that Chinese basketball, both inside and outside, has been recognized by the highest level leagues in the world!
At least, this is what the officials of the Chinese Basketball Association and many basketball people who want Chinese basketball to do well think so.
As Chinese people, although they know that Chinese basketball still has many problems, Chen Jie and Yao Ming still hope that Chinese basketball will move towards greater glory.
Chinese football has just won the runner-up in the Asian Cup. Although it is not comparable to the status of the Chinese men's basketball team in Asia, it at least gives Chinese football people great expectations.
At this time, domestic attention to Chinese football exceeded that to Chinese basketball.
As a basketball player, Yao Ming hopes that Chinese basketball will gain more attention, so he has been sparing no effort to contribute to the development of Chinese basketball.
Chen Jie does not have as high a consciousness as Yao Ming, but because of his previous life experience, Chen Jie knows that China Football's runner-up in the Asian Cup is a return to the glory of Chinese football. After that, Chinese football entered a dark period that lasted for more than ten years.
He never came out and kept causing trouble for Chinese fans.
Chen Jie does not want such a disappointing sport to become the focus of domestic fans. He also hopes to do something good for the fans and win their attention from football to basketball. At least basketball will not cause them any problems.
Based on this idea, Chen Jie also readily accepted CCTV's invitation.
After all, this All-Star Game is of great significance, and if Chen Jie and Yao Ming appear in the CCTV studio at the same time, at least the star effect will attract a lot of attention.
Chen Jie doesn’t mind doing this for Chinese basketball, it’s a simple effort anyway!
In the CCTV studio, we are still old friends, Zhang Weiping, Chen Jie's number one fan, and Yang Yi, the editor-in-chief of Basketball Pioneer.
Zhang Weiping is mature and old-fashioned, while Yang Yi is humorous and has unique insights. Chen Jie likes and has a good impression of both of them.
In addition, Chen Jie and Yao Ming are also very good friends. It is also a good choice for the four of them to sit together and chat during the halftime period.
When the two people came to the studio, Yang Yi and Zhang Weiping stood up to greet them.
After we sat down, because it was a national live broadcast, several people did not exchange pleasantries, but greeted each other in a very formal way.
"Dear viewers, today we are fortunate to have Houston Rockets player Yao Ming and Chicago Bulls player Chen Jie come to our studio during halftime. Next, we will discuss the first half of the All-Star Game.
Game, and some basketball-related issues, communicate with the two! If you have any questions, you can also edit the text message ***** to ********** to ask questions, and we will select the questions directly.
Ask Yao Ming and Chen Jie a question and let them answer it for you!"
Zhang Weiping first said this opening statement, then he turned around and said to Chen Jie and Yao Ming with a smile on his face: "Hello Yao Ming, hello Chen Jie, welcome to the CCTV studio."
Yao Ming and Chen Jie nodded and smiled.
Then, Zhang Weiping said: "I took a look at the first half of the game. Yao Ming only played for six minutes, while Chen Jie played for 17 minutes. I don't know if this arrangement was made by the coach.
Or did you ask for it yourself?"
Zhang Weiping asked this question. In fact, he knew the answer in his heart, but because the topic needed to be discussed, Zhang Weiping asked it anyway.
Of course Chen Jie and Yao Ming understood what Zhang Weiping meant, and Chen Jie immediately replied: "Actually, this appearance time is very normal. Although it is my first time to participate in an occasion like the All-Star Game, I have heard people say it before.
Let's play. Yao Ming is not the kind of person who can play well, so it's normal that he doesn't have much playing time!"
After Chen Jie said this, Yao Ming immediately joked: "You mean, you are the kind of player who can play, but I didn't see any funny performance from you in the first half!"
As a joke, the close relationship between Yao Ming and Chen Jie was immediately revealed.
Zhang Weiping and Yang Yi knew that they had a good relationship before, so they were not surprised.
After Yao Ming finished speaking, Yang Yi immediately continued: "I noticed that in the first half, Chen Jie had several good performances, especially towards the end, the goal that broke through Kobe Bryant can be called the best of the year.
, many people think that goal is a bit incredible. Chen Jie, tell us, how did you make that move?"
"I don't know how I did it. At that time, I was hit by Kobe and I wanted to return the favor. I actually thought that I could deceive Kobe with my fake moves before, but I didn't expect that Kobe could defend so well. There was no way.
, I could only rush forward, and at that moment, I thought, no matter what, I can defeat him. When I got close to him, I tried to change direction, and luckily, I succeeded!"
Chen Jie replied with a smile.
Hearing Chen Jie's words, Yang Yi gave a thumbs up and praised the beautiful goal.
"That goal was really beautiful. I think the best goal of the season must be his. However, I noticed that it seemed that in the last few minutes of the first half, players from both teams, including Chen Jie,
They are all a bit serious, what’s going on?”
Zhang Weiping answered and asked.
Then, he added: "We all know that the All-Star Game is just for fun. But even though it is fun, there is still a winner or lose in the end. I have watched the All-Star Game for many years, and it usually ends in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter.
The stars of the team have just started competing, why did it start so early today?"
Chen Jie smiled and said: "Actually, I don't know this either. Do you know about Yao Ming?"
Yao Ming shook his head: "I wasn't even on the court at the time, how could I know what you were thinking?"
"Probably Kobe was the first to be serious!" Chen Jie said with a deliberate smile.
"Maybe it's Pierce!" Yao Ming countered with a smile.
The two of them exchanged a few words, and naturally he would not talk about the internal agreements of the Eastern All-Stars and some unspoken rules of the league, as well as the depression accumulated in his heart after three years of losing the Eastern Conference.
In fact, Zhang Weiping and Yang Yi also understand that they cannot really talk about everything. Asking such questions is more for the fans in front of the TV.
"I see that Chen Jie has now scored 28 points, which is the highest score in the game. If the game continues like this, if the Eastern Conference wins, Chen Jie, you should be the MVP! You participated in the All-Star Game for the first time and won the MVP.
You have also created a piece of history!" Zhang Weiping said excitedly.
"We can't tell who will win and who will lose. It's too early to say at this time!" Chen Jie said modestly.
"Otherwise, Yao Ming lets loose in the second half and helps Chen Jie. We are all Chinese!" Yang Yi joked.
"Haha, I do think so, but I guess the government won't let me play." Yao Ming said with a smile.
The four of them didn't talk about Chinese basketball, they just talked about some interesting things about the All-Star Game, some interesting anecdotes on the field, made jokes and made jokes. Finally, Yao Ming and Chen Jie answered a few questions from the fans.
It can be seen that the fans are most concerned about Chen Jie's entry into the national team. Chen Jie once again gave his attitude on this.
That is, as long as the country calls, he will never look back.
Chen Jie's attitude was also praised by Yang Yi and Zhang Weiping!
Both of them also guessed that it won't be long before the national team has another training camp and Chen Jie's name will be on it.
After chatting for about twenty minutes, the midfield performance was almost over, and Chen Jie and Yao Ming took their leave.
And soon, the second half of the game is about to begin.
For Chen Jie, whether he can win the All-Star Game Grand Slam depends on these twenty-four minutes! (To be continued...)
