The night of May 19, 2005. I believe that for many Washington fans, this was a sleepless night. Maybe those things that just passed have only scattered memories flooding in their minds. They will usher in a new era.
Tomorrow, perhaps we will usher in a more powerful player. But perhaps, Gilbert Arenas will only remain in their memory from now on.
That night, the Bulls defeated the Wizards on the road with a score of 111. The Wizards originally started a counterattack in the third quarter, but unfortunately, the fourth quarter still belonged to Chen Jie.
It still belongs to that guy Chen Jie. This sentence seems to be a portrayal of this series!
After the whole game, Chen Jie scored a total of 42 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks! This crazy data also allowed Chen Jie to score 40+ again and become the key player in helping the Bulls defeat their opponents.
The greatest contributor.
The Bulls also swept the Wizards after this game with a total score of 4-0.
The Wizards became the backdrop.
It became perhaps the background for the rise of a new dynasty.
In the four games, Chen Jie's performance was extremely outstanding!
He once again shocked the entire league with his perfect performance.
The game is over!
The mercury-like light gradually disappeared amidst the hustle and bustle of the audience that gradually faded away.
The Mic Center Arena in the U.S. capital gradually fell into darkness.
Chen Jie's slender figure, which is more than 1.9 meters tall, has also been involved in the torrent of darkness.
Today, maybe Arenas of the Wizards will die from now on. A knee injury is fatal to a professional player. Even if he will return to the court, he may not have the same vigor as before!
At the press conference after the game, some reporters and Chen Jie congratulated the victory. Tonight's victory was not as colorful as the first game...
But today's game is still worth remembering. After all, after so many years, the Bulls have once again reached the Eastern Conference Finals. This is something worth remembering in itself!
There are also surprisingly many reporters.
After all, a variable like Arenas appeared today...
Many things have attracted great attention from everyone.
Chen Jie's expression was vague, but a bit depressed.
The reporters also caught the depression in Chen Jie's expression. They didn't know the source of Chen Jie's depression, but they asked the question they had first thought about: "Chen Jie, tonight, the Bulls swept the Wizards in the away game.
Team, this game. Do you think victory is important to you?"
Chen Jie said: "This is actually not a new problem... This game is of course important to us! Just like now. We defeated the Wizards on the road so we have now entered the Eastern Conference Finals... We will face a new challenge
The rules of the NBA are that if we defeat someone like this, we can advance, so this victory is of course very important to us."
This reporter is blushing... It can be seen that Chen Jie is not in a high mood today...
Normally, when he was unhappy, he would look coldly at reporters and say things like that.
Everyone knows Chen Jie's temper. After all, he has been slapped in the face by Chen Jie so many times. If he doesn't remember it better, he would be too unworthy of a man! However, these reporters still don't know why Chen Jie didn't behave like this today.
Happy?
After all, they won today!
Why does he still look a little unhappy?
This is indeed a problem.
Another reporter quickly asked: "This is the first time the Bulls have entered the Eastern Conference finals since the Jordan era. Do you think you have led the Bulls on a new path?"
When Chen Jie heard this question, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "It's too early to say how we compare with the Bulls in Michael's era. After all, you also know how great Michael is. I can only say that we
In this place, we have made some things that we wanted to get but didn't get. I don't know how this playoffs will develop, but at least now, I feel that we have achieved a lot of what we want! We will
Keep up the good work.”
Finally, a reporter withstood the pressure and asked: "Chen Jie, everyone knows that the Bulls defeated their opponents in the away game today and swept the Wizards with a 4-0 record... Since you have such a record,
Why don't you look very happy?"
This question brought out the inner thoughts of many people! Indeed, many people were curious about what Chen Jie was thinking. After all, the Bulls had now won the final victory of the game, but why did Chen Jie still look so unhappy...
All in all, I felt like he just didn't feel comfortable.
What is the reason for this?
People at the scene looked at Chen Jie anxiously, hoping to get some answers from him.
Chen Jie paused, as if he was thinking about whether he should answer this question... After a while, he raised his head and said: "Gilbert Arenas, he is an outstanding player!"
This sounds like a sentence that is completely wrong... Everyone was asking him why he felt unhappy, but he just said that Arenas is an outstanding player... What exactly is this?
What does it mean?
However, no one showed any more expressions of doubt or dissatisfaction... because many people had a premonition of what Chen Jie wanted to say and had already thought of what he wanted to say.
At that moment, the entire press conference fell silent, and everyone was quietly waiting for what Chen Jie would say next.
Chen Jie said: "Gilbert Arenas and I have played against each other many times, and it's hard to say who will win and who will lose... But one thing I have always remembered is that Gilbert Arenas
Nurse is an outstanding player! Every time I play against him, I can feel his love for basketball and his desire to win! I respect him very much and hope that his career will go smoothly... He
We entered the alliance four years ago...so I originally thought that we would keep fighting...but, I think everyone knows what happened tonight."
"I'm sad about the injury of a great player, and even more sad that our world is like that, boom and bust, a player's struggle and ineffectiveness... We have gone through too much... I hope Gilbert Arenas'
The future can be very bright...even if..." Having said this, Chen Jie was silent for a moment, as if he didn't want to mention the possibility, but after a pause, Chen Jie still said, "Even if he is no longer a basketball player, he is still
In a certain corner of this world, you are showing your own unique and precious light!"
.........Thundering applause!
Chen Jie's words indeed came from the bottom of his heart. In the eyes of everyone, Chen Jie's expression was not fake at all. His expression was indeed full of reminiscences and memories...
That's really what happened. Chen Jie was very sad. Arenas fell on the court like this, and he was even more sad...
Therefore, what he said was very contagious!
After all, this is still Washington's territory. After all, there are still many Arenas and Wizards fans here. When they heard Chen Jie's words, several of them shed tears unconsciously... It was indeed like that...
…
Their agent, Agent No. 0, may be leaving his favorite stadium and the place where he has struggled...
Get out of here!
Will never come again!
No wonder, Chen Jie's expression was full of sorrow. Even if he won the game, he was not that happy...
Here’s why!
Suddenly, many of the fans present were in awe of Chen Jie. Indeed, Chen Jie's heartfelt words made many people feel deeply moved...
Chen Jie's unpretentious feelings also broke into everyone's mind, body, and flesh and blood!
Amidst the crackling applause, I don’t know how many people’s tears were mixed in for a while!
Chen Jie averaged 40+ points in four consecutive games. He was also the biggest contributor to the Bulls' ability to sweep their opponents in this series. After the game against the Wizards, the Bulls are about to usher in a new era!
With Chen Jie in this state leading a strong Bulls team, how far can the Bulls go this season?
Chen Jie, Chandler, Luol Deng, Kwame Brown, Hinrich, Chris Duke... Such a lineup is really very young! But these young people are making the history of the Bulls! They have
Incomparably brilliant talent, not to mention, there are people like Chen Jie in the league and even the youngest mvp who is destined to be the first person in history...
How far can such a lineup go this season?
Many people have their own expectations in their hearts.
Looking to the future, the direction of the Bulls lies ahead... Exactly how far they can go is mostly unclear, but it does not hinder their speculation.
The guessed direction will be very far away.
…………………………………………………………………………
Just one week after the series between the Bulls and Wizards ended, the Bulls' opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals finally came out.
Under the leadership of Wade, the Miami Heat defeated the Detroit Pistons 4-3 and entered the Eastern Conference Finals. In his first season traveling east, O'Neal helped the Heat defeat the Pistons, and O'Neal also completed his revenge.
But in fact, the biggest contributor to this series is Wade. In the first two times, the Heat fell behind 0-2. Until the last six minutes of the third game, the Heat were still ten points behind. It seemed that the Pistons were in the game again.
The Eastern Conference Finals has become a certainty, but at this time, Wade stepped forward! (To be continued...)
