At the moment when Chen Jie made Iverson's signature move with high spirits, there was a slightly quiet corner in the stands.
A man in a suit said to the attendants beside him: "I want to get Jay Sean before the team pays attention to him!"
This man is Bob Buss, the general manager of the NBA Hornets.
After saying this, before the attendant could answer, he continued: "Has Jay Sean declared to participate in the draft this year?"
The attendant next to him looked at the information in his hand and said: "No. He just entered Duke University this year. This game is only his second start."
"What, the second start? God, he can play so well in the second start, he must be a genius." Bass was very excited and almost yelled.
The attendant next to him nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, yes."
"We must get him." Bass said this again, then glanced at the attendant next to him and said, "After the game, Raymond, you go contact Jay Sean and ask him if he is interested.
Participate in this year's draft. Tell him that if he participates, we will draft him with the first round pick!"
"Okay, manager." Raymond nodded, looked at Chen Jie, and thought to himself, after two games in exchange for a first-round pick, you are still the first person I have ever seen.
However, what he was not sure about was whether Chen Jie would agree.
For ordinary players, being in the first round would naturally be enough.
Or, for a player who only performed so well in his junior and senior years, he might agree.
However, as a freshman, as a player who has full potential and has time to prove himself, Raymond feels that Chen Jie may choose to continue to preach in the NCAA for another year. In that case, he will definitely be able to enter the lottery.
Raymond felt that it was very difficult to complete the task assigned by the general manager.
However, no matter how difficult it is, you have to try.
After all, he works for others.
At this time, the scores of the two teams were once again tied on the field.
After Novak scored two points with a breakthrough that he was not good at, Xiao Hei also scored two points with an inside single hook shot that he was not good at.
69 to 69.
Scores are getting harder and harder and time is running out.
At this time, there was only one minute and forty seconds left before the end of the game.
"You won't score this goal!" The moment Wade broke through with the ball, Chen Jie moved quickly and said this firmly in his heart.
At this time, on the defensive end, Chen Jie was desperate.
Wade changed directions several times but failed to move Chen Jie away, which made Wade a little anxious.
Seeing the attack time decreasing minute by minute and his teammates being closely guarded, Wade chose to break through.
From Chen Jie's left hand side, Wade stubbornly accelerated with the ball in an attempt to overtake.
Naturally, Chen Jie would not let Wade in easily. He exerted force in the lower plate, and the bodies of Chen Jie and Wade collided.
After this impact, Chen Jie fell to the ground and Wade lost control of the basketball in his hand.
The referee's whistle sounded at this moment.
Block?!
Seeing the gesture made by the referee, Chen Jie felt a little incredible.
He obviously moved in front of Wade's breakthrough in advance and was already standing there waiting. How could he be blocking it?
Coach K held his head and began to yell and protest at the referee.
How could there be such a penalty at such a critical moment?
How unwilling would you be to die on a miscarriage of justice?
The entire audience also booed in unison.
But the referee remained unmoved.
He insisted on his penalty, and Wade also stepped to the free throw line. Old K's complaints had no effect at all.
The rule of the NCAA is that when a team's half-time common fouls accumulate to 7 times, for each foul (including the 7th), the opponent will get a "1+1" free throw opportunity, that is: if the first free throw is scored,
Will get another free throw opportunity.
At this time, Duke had exactly seven fouls in the second half.
And Chen Jie's block was just an ordinary foul.
Therefore, Wade did not get two free throw opportunities, but 1+1.
The first free throw is particularly important.
Wade stood at the free throw line, staring at the basket, taking a deep breath, ignoring the interference from the audience behind the backboard in front of him, patting the basketball in his hand and shooting steadily.
The ball goes in!
Wade gets his second free throw opportunity.
The few fans from Marquette University who came to watch the game cheered.
Wade had no expression on his face and repeated the action just now.
Xiao Hei and Sai Ya were fully focused in the paint, ready to rush for rebounds at any time.
When the ball was released, Wade used too little force on this free throw, and the ball hit the front edge of the basket.
Xiao Hei grabbed the rebound.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious!" Old K shouted loudly from the audience.
After hearing this, Xiao Hei raised his elbows and waved to protect the rebound. When Marquette University saw no chance to steal it, it retreated to half court, and Xiao Hei passed the ball to Chen Jie.
The foul was not thorough enough at the critical moment, which led to Novak playing a 2+1. At this time, he did not dare to be careless at all.
Even if Lao K doesn't shout like that, Xiao Hei won't throw the basketball in his hand easily.
At this time, one mistake can be fatal.
Chen Jie dribbled the ball past half-court and got a shot after two pick-and-rolls by Xiao Hei and Sai Ya. However, his jump shot did not go in.
Redick next to him has even become a marginal player at this moment, and has not touched the ball in several attacks.
But it seems that he is not very angry. When he saw that Chen Jie failed to make a jump shot this time, the corner of his mouth actually curled up.
I am the only one who can save the team. Jay, you are not good enough.
Perhaps he hadn't fully understood the situation yet, but Redick actually thought so.
If the offense fails this time, Duke will be very passive.
All the players on and off the court, including Old K and all the assistant coaches, frowned, but Redick actually smiled strangely.
Chen Jie, who saw this scene at a casual glance, was moved in his heart.
Hey Redick, do you think that if I don't score this goal, I will be the sinner of the team?
At this time, why are you still so selfish?
Chen Jie, who was a little angry, knew in his heart that this was not the time to fight with him.
Only when this game is over can I settle accounts with him. However, I will write down this account for you!
Must win!
Only in this way can I stand upright in front of Redick. After all, I am the protagonist in this game!
Although Duke University is one point behind, Marquette University still controls the ball, and the game time is only one minute, the idea in Chen Jie's heart is extremely firm!
Looking at Wade dribbling the ball across half court, Chen Jie slightly bent his knees. This time, he had to guard against anything he said!
