Facing Kobe's defense, Chen Jie trudged forward about two meters as if in a swamp, arriving near the top of the free throw arc.
At this time, Kobe held one hand high in the sky, guarding against Chen Jie's possible throw at any time, and blocked Chen Jie's body with one hand, continuing to make Chen Jie's progress difficult.
Judging from this situation, Chen Jie's breakthrough this time is likely to be a failure.
If he insists on making a layup, Chen Jie may not be able to fully exert his physical strength, but he also needs to know that Kobe is right next to him, and it is impossible for Chen Jie to get rid of Kobe's interference.
In that case, his layup will most likely be in vain.
Emergency stop?
This is a better choice than a layup now, but firstly, a pull-up jump shot now requires a lot of body control. Even Chen Jie is very likely to slip on his feet or not take off sufficiently. In that case,
If so, the hit rate will drop a lot.
Furthermore, who can conclude that Kobe Bryant was not prepared for Chen Jie's emergency stop? What if he jumped to block the shot and gave Chen Jie a hot pot?
How should Chen Jie choose at this time?
Today's fans, media reporters, and superstars off the court all have such questions in their minds.
Kobe is also guessing Chen Jie's next move at this moment.
Is an emergency stop likely?
Kobe thought so and was ready to block shots at any time.
But at this moment, Chen Jie's right hand, which was dribbling the ball, suddenly swung back. With this force, the basketball moved from in front of Chen Jie to behind him. Then, Chen Jie's left hand quickly controlled the deflection behind Chen Jie.
The basketball was pulled back, and Chen Jie's body also jumped a step backward with this action!
Step back!
At this time, Chen Jie chose to take a step-back jumper.
Kobe obviously didn't expect Chen Jie to make such a choice. He reacted immediately, but it was still a little late. Chen Jie had already taken off and took the shot. Kobe's body was in mid-air and threw himself in front of Chen Jie.
Kobe looked a little surprised in the air.
An emergency stop at this time is a great challenge to body control. If an average person makes an emergency stop while insisting on a breakthrough like this, it is very likely that they will lose control of the basketball and cause a mistake.
Of course, Kobe himself has the confidence to complete such an action. After all, it is not a shockingly difficult move. If he cannot even complete this action, Kobe feels that he cannot be called a superstar.
Since Kobe feels that he can complete it, then in Kobe's view, Chen Jie's completion of this action should be very safe. He should not make a mistake. Therefore, Kobe feels that Chen Jie is likely to use this action to end the offense.
Of course, Chen Jie should also know that the consequences of an emergency stop are very likely to be blocked by himself. Because in this situation, Chen Jie is at a disadvantage in preparation for taking off. After all, a large part of his strength is used to resist.
Kobe's pressure.
Therefore, Kobe wouldn't be surprised if Chen Jie didn't make a sudden stop. Maybe Chen Jie chose to go all the way to the basket. In that case, he still had a chance to put the ball in. Or draw a foul, which is more reliable than throwing out a shot.
Much.
But Kobe never expected that under such circumstances, Chen Jie would actually take a step back!
Although Kobe felt that both he and Chen Jie could do the emergency stop. But after all, it was still difficult and required strong body control.
It's so difficult to even make an emergency stop, let alone step back and shoot while moving forward quickly.
This level of difficulty is definitely higher than emergency stop.
Kobe felt that he didn't have much confidence in completing such an action under such circumstances. Chen Jie, how could he dare?
When Kobe landed, his heart was filled with admiration for Chen Jie.
Regardless of whether the ball goes in or not, the action performed by Chen Jie is both beautiful and difficult.
Moreover, Chen Jie is not afraid of making mistakes and his courage to try this action is also amazing in itself.
Kobe did not turn around to see the ball thrown by Chen Jie. He felt that whether the ball went in or not, he would lose this round of offense and defense between himself and Chen Jie.
He still couldn't guard against Chen Jie.
In three consecutive singles, he failed to guard Chen Jie. When Kobe thought this, he didn't feel any loss in his heart, but only had a stronger fighting spirit!
brush!
When Kobe was immersed in walking forward, Chen Jie also scored.
Chen Jie hit a step-back shot, bringing his score to 32 points, and the team regained the lead by five points, 65 to 60.
Chen Jie didn't look excited or proud of completing such an action that had many people on the sidelines standing up and applauding.
He looked at Kobe's back and was filled with admiration.
It seemed that Chen Jie had succeeded in three consecutive singles matches.
But Chen Jie knew that this did not mean that he was better than Kobe.
You must know that the final results of these three singles were all achieved by myself using highly difficult moves that everyone thought were beautiful and incredible.
It seems that Chen Jie has completed a beautiful goal, but everyone knows that on the basketball court, if scoring can be completed with simple movements, then there is no need to use complicated movements.
Chen Jie's actions like this are a desperate choice to challenge his physical limits!
From this perspective, Kobe's defense was definitely a success!
Being able to push himself so hard that he cannot use easy layups and shots to complete the offense, but must always use such difficult actions, Kobe's defensive ability is evident!
Chen Jie sighed inwardly, remained silent as well, and ran back to the backcourt.
Chen Jie and Kobe did not have any verbal communication.
Although Chen Jie ran back to the backcourt and came to Kobe's side, he still didn't say a word to Kobe.
At this time, the entire audience's attention was actually focused on Chen Jie and Kobe. They were wondering if the two would have a conversation at this time.
But, no!
Both Chen Jie and Kobe were silent. Kobe was looking at the basket, and Chen Jie was looking at the Western team serving from the bottom line. Both of them had serious expressions on their faces, but neither of them spoke.
There are many reasons for not speaking up.
Of course, the most important thing is that at this time, Chen Jie and Kobe didn't know what to say.
The game has reached this level, and the two people are fighting so fiercely on the court. Let's talk about some light things, okay?
Of course it’s not good!
So, talk trash, stimulate the opponent, and psychologically hit the opponent?
If it were anyone else, maybe Kobe would have done this, but this was Chen Jie. Even though the competition was fierce, he didn't talk trash to his good friend?
Therefore, Kobe did not speak.
As for Chen Jie, at the moment he admires Kobe for his powerful fighting skills. How could he say this out loud at this time?
Fight, if the fight continues, the two of them will understand without saying anything.
As for admiration, exclamation, and praise, wait until after the game to say it. Is it a sign of weakness to say such words at this time?
Chen Jie is not such a person.
As for the trash talk... let alone Kobe, even if he was facing other league players who had no connection with him, if he didn't take the initiative to provoke Chen Jie, Chen Jie would not take the initiative to provoke him.
Chen Jie hasn't been spoiled by the NBA's trash-talking atmosphere yet.
Of course, if someone provokes Chen Jie, Chen Jie doesn't mind using actions to shut him up!
Both of them were silent, and several other players felt a little puzzled.
James, who ran back from the frontcourt, came over to say a few words to Chen Jie and Kobe before taking up his defensive position.
He first patted Chen Jie on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Jie, great job!"
Then, he glanced narrowly at Kobe: "Did Jay beat him up this time?"
What James said was a joke. Although his relationship with Kobe was not very good, it was not bad either. Such a joke was harmless, especially in an occasion like the All-Star Game.
However, unexpectedly, when faced with James' praise, Chen Jie just nodded, but faced with James' joke, Kobe didn't even look at James.
James, who was ignored by the two people, was still a little confused for a moment. He rubbed his head and returned to his defensive position with an inexplicable expression. (To be continued...)
