O'Neal looked at the bright red scoreboard and felt his heart gradually sinking.
Many things have fallen into decline.
After the last game, O'Neal was very angry about such a defeat.
He felt that it was too tragic that the Heat were given such a blow by the Bulls.
At the end of the last game, O'Neal was furious. The feeling of being stabbed fiercely by the Bulls was really frustrating!
At that time, O'Neal even wanted to torture the Bulls thousands of times, tens of thousands of times!
Therefore, when facing the media, he just said things like "we'll see what happens"! In short, from the outside world, these words he said seemed very powerful.
As a result, this game turned out to be another complete failure.
The unhappiness in my heart was like a fire in the wilderness, growing continuously.
As a result, O'Neal became the first player to leave the court today, and he walked away angrily.
In the United Center, under the bright lights, O'Neal turned his back and left the United Center. He also refused to participate in the press conference after the game.
It seems that this time, O'Neal was really angry and expressed strong dissatisfaction with the result of this game. No one on the Heat team was happy in this game.
However, there are still a few unlucky ones who have to go to the press conference and participate in the bombardment and torture by reporters who add insult to injury.
American reporters do have a lot of venomous tongues. After being questioned several times, some members of the Heat team became very irritated... Indeed, if you lose the game, you have no human rights!
Chen Jie was naturally the biggest contributor to the Bulls' game today.
In the whole game, he scored 50 points, 8 assists and 9 rebounds, a quasi-triple-double! This was another quasi-triple-double, and it was also the second consecutive game in which he had more than 8 assists. The final victory of this game, and
The assists he sent have a very big relationship.
Moreover, other players also performed wonderfully with Chen Jie's assists.
First, Chandler scored 21 points and 12 rebounds, Kwame Brown scored 16 points and grabbed 6 rebounds, Antonio Lure Deng scored 9 points, Hinrich 10 points, and Lure Deng only had 7 points, but
Also had 8 assists.
Chen Jie and Luer Deng combined for 16 assists, which became a sign that the Bulls played team basketball today.
Today's Bulls indeed played a very beautiful team basketball. The efforts of Chen Jie and several other players brought victory to this game. Of course, Chen Jie was the finishing touch.
"Chen Jie! After two consecutive games, do you think the Bulls can win the next victory as devastatingly as they defeated the Wizards?" a reporter quickly asked. Chen Jie's confidence will always be with the fans.
is very important.
Basically, everything he said yes can be realized in the end. Chen Jie said to the camera: "From my point of view, of course we hope that we can defeat our opponents as quickly as possible, which will be of great benefit to us."
The benefits! However, at the same time, we also know that to defeat our opponents so quickly, we need to make more efforts! Therefore, what I can say is that we will try our best to defeat them, but we cannot guarantee where we can go.
step."
The reporters cheered loudly. Chen Jie was determined.
Since he is determined, everyone doesn’t need to worry too much!
The Bulls' double victory over the Heat also had a big impact in Miami. Although Miami fans did not feel that the sky was falling, they also knew that the Heat were now in a very dangerous situation.
Their opponent is the Bulls! The Bulls have the best record in the league during the regular season and swept their opponents in the first and second rounds of the playoffs!
Now, the Bulls have shown their fangs in front of the Heat!
These fangs are sharp and terrifying!
The truly terrifying Bulls put on a perfect display in front of everyone.
Even a team like the Heat can't resist the extremely ferocious Bulls.
The Bulls' trend of sweeping the world has been gradually built up one strong game after another.
The future of this team is limitless.
There is no limit to Chen Jie's future. We all don't know what lies ahead for the Bulls.
The fans of the Miami Heat chanted revenge slogans for the next game.
revenge!
The theme of Miami is revenge!
And the next game is about to start.
In the past second game when the Bulls slaughtered the Heat, Chen Jie performed very well. It was precisely because of Chen Jie's beautiful performance that the Bulls had the ability to defeat their opponents.
Chen Jie's performance is the cornerstone of the entire Bulls team. Victory, failure, sadness, happiness... Chen Jie and the Bulls, and all the Bulls players, do have a considerable relationship.
Of course, fans also like Chen Jie and want to see Chen Jie.
On the eve of the third game, everyone's predictions began.
"This game cannot be said to be completely without suspense. The Bulls came with the advantage of winning two games in a row. Coupled with their current very strong momentum, it is entirely possible for them to defeat the Heat! However, On the Heat's side, since they established their strong lineup and strengthened their center position, although the Heat were also a strong team in the past, their current strength is completely different from their past strength. It's the same thing! So, between the two teams, who wins and who loses is still a question. If you predict it in advance, you may not necessarily win."
"In this game, the Heat may learn from their shame and act bravely, then they may still be able to defeat the Bulls! In my opinion, there are several very important things for the Heat to do if they want to defeat the Bulls. The first is Like every game, after the start, they must play a smoother offense. This is also the prerequisite for them to win! Second, in the second quarter, they need to withstand the offense of the Bulls' bench... The Bulls' bench The lineup is often one of the culprits that slaughtered the Heat at the last minute. Only by strangling the Bulls' bench lineup can the Heat have the possibility of defeating the Bulls! Third, they have to withstand the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Bulls counterattacked led by Chen Jie. Through observation of the first two games, we can find that the Bulls usually established a good lead in the second quarter. It then expanded in the third quarter, and basically led in the fourth quarter. It can become a towel-throwing team! ... But, in this way, if the Heat wants to defeat the Bulls, it really needs to pass the test. It is very difficult! I suddenly have no confidence in the Heat." Most of the discussions , the last thing raised was still focused on a few issues. If the Heat wants to defeat the Bulls, they must pass the Bulls bench, overall, third quarter, fourth quarter and so many hurdles...
Think about the obstacles that are currently facing these teams one after another... In the end, even the staunch supporters of the Heat felt that this game was hanging in the balance!
Really hanging!
Amid various considerations, the third game began.
The home court of the Heat. Tonight, they are also dressed up!
On site, all around, white T-shirts!
White ocean!
This is Miami's home court!
This is where all Miami fans gather.
"Heat! Heat!"
"O'Neal! O'Neal! Wade! Wade!" All kinds of shouts turned this place into a sea of roaring fans, and the countless waves almost drowned everyone in it.
Countless banners were displayed in the hands of fans.
"Heat! Rise up!"
"Revenge Chicago!"
Various banners and slogans were displayed in the arena.
In this way, in a very strong home atmosphere, this game kicked off!
When he jumped the ball, Haslam's character suddenly exploded, and he also exploded with the strength and bounce in his body. The basketball was directly shot into the hands of the Heat players by Haslem, and the Heat scored first.
Like the previous two games, in this game, the Heat took the lead and gained some leads over the Bulls in the first quarter... and time passed to the second quarter.
Then, the second quarter of the game begins.
The Bulls' bench team played pretty well today, but the Heat players went crazy and launched a full-court press against the Bulls' bench... The defensive intensity was outrageous.
Therefore, the Bulls' bench lineup, which is usually invincible, finally did not benefit from the Heat. The Heat's mad-dog defense made the Bulls unable to play well in the first half of the game.
At the end, the Bulls trailed their opponents by 7 points...
, the Bulls launched a counterattack! Chen Jie's fadeaway jumpers began to show off, but O'Neal also began to explode, and Chen Jie's touch dropped. At the end of the third quarter, the Heat still led the Bulls.
The last quarter of the game has begun!
This was the last quarter, but the Heat took advantage of their lead in the third quarter and launched several offensive shock waves. The Bulls were overwhelmed, but it was already too late.
In the end, although Chen Jie recovered, it was a bit late. The Bulls suffered their first defeat in the playoffs on the road!
100 to 105, the Bulls only lost by five points, but a loss is a loss after all. In this game, the Heat had the last laugh.
The Bulls are a little confused on their faces. This is very easy to tell, at least, it can be seen from the expression on the face of the Bulls leader Chen Jie.
Just after the game, his face didn't look good.
Because, Chen Jie felt that they should not have lost this game, but who knew that it ended up in such a situation, which makes people feel extremely unhappy just thinking about it.
In this game, Chen Jie has an inseparable relationship with losing because in this game, Chen Jie's touch has declined. He made 7 of 23 shots in the game, which is a record-breaking shooting rate.
His record low in the playoffs, such a shooting percentage, is very low for him this season...
Of course, 40% is still acceptable for other players, but for Chen Jie, this hit rate is very bad. This hit rate is also related to Chen Jie's serving more in this game.
, if you want to calculate Chen Jie's true shooting percentage in this game, it is much higher.
In this game, the Heat's defense could only be described as a mad dog.
Their defense is indeed like a mad dog.
Especially a player like Chen Jie, who was pressed by the whole court. From the moment he received the pass, he was forced from the bottom line here to the bottom line on the other side. This kind of full-court pressure made Chen Jie's free throw so exciting.
many.
Therefore, although Chen Jie only hit 7 goals in the whole game, he still scored a total of 31 points in the whole game. This is his bonus such as free throws. In addition to the 31 points that Chen Jie scored, there were 7 more
Statistics like assists and 7 rebounds are not bad, but once a team loses, the leader's statistics, no matter how brilliant, seem a little unconvincing.
The press conference after the game began! Chen Jie didn't want to participate at first, but so many reporters came, so he couldn't let people say that he was timid, right?
Therefore, after careful consideration, Chen Jie came to the press conference. There were already many reporters at the scene.
There were also a lot of reporters from the Heat team.
Corresponding to Chen Jie's dissatisfaction, today's O'Neal looks full of satisfaction. Today's victory really makes him feel proud and happy! This damn Bulls team is finally in tragedy?
The reporters' questions came to Chen Jie very quickly.
"Chen Jie, what do you think was the reason for your failure in this match?"
Chen Jie thought for a while, but suppressed his anger and said: "In this game, I think we lost on offense. The Miami Heat played the defense they wanted, and they played very well! I am
Mainly in terms of defense, they did a very good job, so we lost. Of course, things like losing are very bad. I can't find more interfaces. What I want to say is, let's see! What we still have is
Time! Also, please don’t forget the Heat players! We are still one game ahead of them!" Chen Jie was indeed a little angry today.
Hearing what Chen Jie said, the reporters at the scene became excited! Chen Jie's rampage at the press conference seemed to have news to dig out!
At the end of the last game, the Heat players walked out of the Bulls' shining United Center forlornly.
At that time, O'Neal directly refused interviews with reporters and did not participate in the press conference after the game.
Presumably, they were feeling very angry...
It is conceivable that Chen Jie's current mood is definitely not that good...
The feud between Chen Jie and O'Neal has been forged since the beginning of the season.
"Chen Jie, when you say this, do you want to challenge the Heat players and say that you can definitely beat them in the next game?"
Chen Jie's head was burning with anger just now, but now he gradually calmed down. He felt that what he just said was a bit too much.
At the moment, he pondered for a moment before answering: "That's not the case. What I want to say is that we did fail in this game and we paid a sufficient price. But in the next game, I will try my best and be the same as me."
Together with our teammates, we will definitely make the next game play in our style.”
Several reporters in Miami, fearing that the world would not be in chaos, heard that Chen Jie seemed to be waning and no longer as domineering as before, these guys jumped out quickly: "Chen Jie, you said so, your style is just that.
What? Do you think that after this defeat, the Bulls have no chance to defeat the Heat?" Chen Jie's eyes were full of frost!
Isn’t it just a loss of a game?
As for this?
At that moment, his tone was no longer friendly: "There will naturally be time to test the success or failure. All I want to say is that I will not let the Bulls lose again!"
After saying this, his face was indeed full of displeasure.
When the reporters saw that Chen Jie was unhappy, they were silent! These reporters all knew Chen Jie's temper. More importantly, judging from the series of honors that Chen Jie received in the All-Star Game and at the end of the regular season, Chen Jie should now be
One of the most protected objects in the alliance! It is one of the main signs of the alliance! If they really angered Chen Jie, the alliance will definitely not give up. The twenty-six catch-all rules are still on the minds of every reporter in the alliance.
In my mind, if I am not qualified to be interviewed because of this, then the gain outweighs the loss.
At that moment, the reporters did not continue to ask questions, but most of them wrote down this line of words on paper. Chen Jie cursed the Heat angrily, thinking that they would definitely win the next game.
At the same time, at the Heat's press conference, O'Neal, who scored 38 points today, was all smiles and did not refuse reporters' questions.
Compared with the one who ran away early in the last game and did not participate in the press conference after the game, O'Neal was completely different. The reporters were also very happy with O'Neal's performance. At that moment, one question after another came out.
"Shaq! In this game, the Heat easily defeated the Bulls. Do you think it will be like that in the next game?" a reporter asked.
O'Neal immediately said: "I think it is very possible to continue winning this game in the next game! We have found the rhythm of winning. As long as we continue on the current path, we will completely defeat the Bulls. And
It's not impossible. I think one day the Bulls will have to swallow the bitter pill of defeat!" O'Neal's words were full of confidence and momentum.
Many reporters in Miami were ignited by this guy. At that moment, all kinds of words of support for O'Neal rushed out. O'Neal looked at the performance of the reporters with satisfaction and felt high-spirited.
He and the last game, indeed, he is completely different now! It was He and He who lost the last game. Everything was tragic. O'Neal felt that it was going to be dark, but in this game they won again, and the feeling of elation came from his chest.
rushed out.
"Miami fans, please believe us. We will definitely let the Bulls suffer a heavy blow at our home court in Miami and truly understand the capabilities of our team!" O'Neal's eyes were full of confidence. For a moment, Miami
The journalists applauded in various ways again.
On the way back, Chen Jie felt a little ashamed! Today, I was indeed a little overwhelmed by anger!
This is really not a good thing.
Impulse is the devil!
Today, he actually said such arrogant words in front of so many reporters. Of course, Chen Jie has done it before, but after all, this is the Eastern Conference finals, one of the most important games in the playoffs!
Chen Jie patted his forehead, why are you so impulsive today!
Looking deeper into the reason, the Bulls have been playing really smoothly recently! The impressive record in the regular season, and now in the playoffs, without losing a game and directly sweeping the Wizards' record, these things have made him feel a lot.
of pride.
I think other teams in the league are already somewhat vulnerable.
I also think that other players in the league will be abused as much as before! But, speaking more carefully, the Bulls' victory in the regular season was, after all, the regular season.
Many experienced players will not even try their best in the regular season. All they have to do is prepare for the playoffs and strive for good results in the playoffs.
They often lack enough attention to some things in the regular season. It is also for this reason that the record in the regular season cannot explain everything.
Therefore, the Bulls' record in the regular season does not explain everything!
In the first round of the playoffs, the opponent they swept was weak. In the second round, the opponent was the Wizards who were short of major generals after all. Even if the Bulls swept them, it was not that powerful! Facing such a team, now
It would be a surprise if the Bulls' lineup didn't sweep them!
Thinking of this, Chen Jie suddenly woke up completely! He also thought of many, many things in such an instant.
Indeed, the current situation of the Bulls is not as optimistic as some people estimate! There are too many blindly optimistic people in this world.
The Bulls are still far away from winning the championship!
They definitely don’t have the capital to be arrogant now!
Thinking of this, Chen Jie felt that he had figured out a lot of things in his heart. It seemed that he needed to be more careful in the next game.
However, although Chen Jie has already begun to reflect, after all, what he said before has been spoken out, so now the outside world has long been surrounded by a cloud of disputes between Chen Jie and O'Neal!
Everyone is discussing this matter enthusiastically and putting forward their own opinions on this matter.
Chen Jie vs. O'Neal, this has almost become a big drama that spans the entire season! (To be continued...)
