The moment Chen Jie took the ball, the audience suddenly burst into cheers.
This is not the fans at Pepsi Center in Denver cheering for Chen Jie.
No one thinks so. After all, almost everyone in this circle already knows about Chen Jie’s relationship with the Pepsi Center and the people of Denver.
Just in this game, there was a scene of irony and counter-irony between the two sides.
Since they are not cheering, the cheers are obviously because they are excited.
What are you excited about? In fact, everyone at the scene knows that Chen Jie is going to play against Kobe Bryant in singles again.
After Chen Jie had just caused a foul on Kobe, and Kobe retaliated with a super-long three-pointer, Chen Jie and Kobe started one-on-one again.
This makes fans excited!
Both Chen Jie and Kobe heard the warm cheers, but neither of them paid attention. Now, Chen Jie and Kobe's attention is on each other.
Chen Jie leaned against Kobe with his buttocks, protecting the basketball in his hand and looking for opportunities.
Kobe, on the other hand, stood up to Chen Jie without any relaxation, and even looking at this posture, he didn't want Chen Jie to turn around.
Chen Jie's speed may be better than Kobe's, but in terms of body, Chen Jie is not as good as Kobe.
Although Chen Jie and Kobe are about the same size, Kobe's muscles have been trained since he was a child, and the strength contained in them is extraordinary.
Although Chen Jie never relaxed his focus on strength when he entered the league and even when he was at Duke University, he started too late after all, and his strength is still not as good as that of Kobe.
At this moment, Chen Jie almost used all his strength to confront Kobe on the left side of the three-point line. But he still couldn't squeeze Kobe. Kobe seemed to have not exerted his strength yet.
Chen Jie's steps were very steady when he caught the ball, but after the two squeezed each other a few times, Chen Jie's steps looked a little sloppy, as if he might be squeezed out of this space by Kobe at any moment.
.
From the perspective of outsiders, the current situation of the two people is like this.
But for the person involved, Chen Jie felt a powerful force attacking him from behind. He tried to keep himself steady, but it was a bit difficult for Chen Jie.
Chen Jie felt that he might be pushed away by Kobe at any time.
As for Kobe, it seemed that he didn't exert any force, but only he knew how hard he worked to squeeze Chen Jie like this.
Although Chen Jie's strength may not be as strong as Kobe's, his training in the past few years is not in vain. The muscles on Chen Jie's body are already very strong. Kobe stared at him as if he was holding a stone.
Feeling a little overwhelmed.
Both of them felt a little unsure at this moment.
Chen Jie was afraid that he would not be able to hold on for the next second and could only move away from this space. In that case, his offense would become passive.
Kobe was also worried that he would no longer be able to push Chen Jie so hard in the next second. In that case, Chen Jie could easily turn around, and his next move would be much easier to do.
Both of them are holding on, like fighters in a wrestling field.
Who will give up first?
The answer was revealed quickly.
After all, Chen Jie still couldn't win in the duel with Kobe's strength. That is, one second later, Chen Jie gave up the struggle with Kobe. He took the initiative to seek changes. He slapped the basketball on the ground and Chen Jie quickly got rid of Kobe.
Then, before Kobe could catch up, Chen Jie turned around and faced Kobe.
Seeing Chen Jie taking the initiative to give in, Kobe was relieved. If Chen Jie could continue to hold on for even one second, Kobe felt that he might be snatched by Chen Jie for a good position.
Of course, although Kobe has won the power contest now, it does not mean that Kobe's defense was successful. After all, Chen Jie actively chose to give in instead of being passively squeezed away by Kobe.
With this active concession, although Chen Jie could not gain the absolute advantage he had after defeating Kobe in a power showdown, at least Chen Jie had some time to react compared to being passively squeezed out by Kobe. This little time helped
Chen Jie was able to calmly turn around to face Kobe again and reorganize the offense, instead of being staggered and intercepted by Kobe.
However, this duel of strength still delayed Chen Jie's attack time by about three seconds.
At this time, there are about 10 seconds left in the attack time. Chen Jie has no time to think about how to beat Kobe Bryant alone. If he makes a choice immediately!
On the court, O'Neal saw Chen Jie receiving the ball and stopped asking for position. However, he did not passively treat Chen Jie's offense. At least he took a step outside the three-second zone, making it impossible for Yao Ming to pass by him.
By walking away, you can help Chen Jie take away a defender.
James took Garnett away, and he pulled him to the right corner. Garnett could only follow James to this area.
Carter's wandering on the baseline made Duncan very uncomfortable. As a tall insider, it was a bit difficult for him to keep up with an outside player. Duncan was fully focused on Carter at the moment, and he didn't even look at Chen Jie and Chen Jie.
Kobe Bryant.
His defensive task this time was to prevent Carter from running out of space.
As for Iverson, after he passed the ball to Kobe, he also pulled to the weak side and took away McGrady.
It can be said that there are no redundant people around Chen Jie and Kobe now. There is enough space for the two of them to use for one-on-one offense and defense.
In fact, at this time, after Chen Jie lost to Kobe, he could only reorganize the offense, and when there was not much offensive time left, O'Neal, as the team's insider, had the responsibility to come up and screen for Chen Jie. In this case, Chen Jie
The attack can be easier.
But the relationship between O'Neal and Chen Jie is also well known. It is already good for him to help Chen Jie attract Yao Ming without causing trouble to Chen Jie. It is absolutely impossible to expect him to pick and roll for Chen Jie.
As for James, he can provide a pick-and-roll for Chen Jie, but Garnett, who is guarding James, is not a slow-moving post like Yao Ming. Even if the pick-and-roll is successful and Garnett and Kobe switch defenses, Chen Jie still has no chance.
In that case, it will only be a waste of attack time.
The same goes for Iverson. Although McGrady's defense is not as strong as Kobe's, if he takes it seriously, it is not that easy to break through.
As for Carter, he was looking for an opportunity to get rid of Duncan, and he didn't even realize that it was best for him to screen Chen Jie at this moment.
So Chen Jie can only rely on himself now.
Without the help of his teammates, Chen Jie could only rely on his own ability to defeat Kobe Bryant in isolation.
Chen Jie is very familiar with this situation. He has beaten Kobe Bryant in singles like this several times.
In the past, there were successes and failures. But in today's game, Chen Jie succeeded in several singles games against Kobe Bryant.
This made Chen Jie very confident. He felt that he could still succeed with this ball.
Chen Jie's choice is a breakthrough.
At least, judging from his first action after turning around to dribble the ball and looking at the time before deciding to launch an attack, this is what Chen Jie chose.
He dribbled the ball quickly with both hands under his hips, and his body kept making fake movements to the right or left to break through.
He hoped to shake Kobe's center of gravity so he could pass Kobe.
But Kobe was not fooled.
Seeing that the fake move was unsuccessful, Chen Jie was not discouraged. He resolutely chose to break through from Kobe's left side and accelerate directly.
This breakthrough after countless fake moves was quite sudden.
Although Kobe didn't react at the first time, Chen Jie took the first step. But Kobe didn't give Chen Jie a chance to move forward. Kobe reacted quickly and blocked Chen Jie with his body and moved his feet laterally, blocking Chen Jie again.
In front of Jay.
Chen Jie faced Kobe's defense and continued to move forward stubbornly. Kobe's body was close to Chen Jie, one hand raised in the sky, and the other hand blocked Chen Jie's breakthrough.
At this moment, Chen Jie was struggling to move forward as if he were in a muddy swamp.
Judging from the current results, this breakthrough has failed.
However, Kobe didn't see a trace of panic in Chen Jie's eyes.
There are still four seconds left in the attack time. How should Chen Jie choose?
Layup, or emergency stop?
While Kobe was blocking Chen Jie, he was quickly analyzing in his mind. (To be continued...)
