()(My friend had a birthday and went out to celebrate. I just came back. The update is late. Sorry.)
The University of Connecticut does not only have one Okafor. In fact, Ben Gordon, the third overall pick in the 2004 draft, later won the league's best sixth man with the Bulls. This defender with a big heart is also now at the University of Connecticut.
the main force.
It can be said that on the offensive end, UConn has both inside and outside.
However, Chen Jie only regarded Okafor as his opponent and did not take Ben Gordon seriously at all.
Chen Jie, who only started watching basketball because of Jordan in his previous life, naturally pays close attention to the Bulls, and is naturally very aware of Ben Gordon's abilities and characteristics.
On the offensive end, Ben Gordon has a comprehensive range of defensive offensive methods, including breakthroughs, pull-up jump shots, and three-pointers. He cannot defend at all when his hands are hot. Although Gordon's first step in a breakthrough is not very fast, compared to Al
Players such as Len Iverson, Devin Wade, and Tracy McGrady are slower. However, his breakthrough mainly relies on his excellent upper body strength and leg explosiveness to squeeze away defensive players.
.Facing a defender who is stronger than him, Gordon can also use the ball to change direction to get rid of the opponent, or directly make a pull-up jump shot.
Gordon's jump shot is very fast. Although he is not tall enough, it is difficult to block shots. His shooting posture is also very standard. There is basically no preparation time for shooting three-pointers. Once you want to shoot, you can just take the ball.
Although the occasional shot selection is not yet refined, once the hand is not going well, he will immediately hit the ball continuously.
But he has very good ball control skills and is not afraid of defensive pressure.
Of course, what Chen Jie praises the most is Ben Gordon’s big heart.
He can be said to be a typical representative of a big-hearted player who gets more excited the more critical things are, the more excited he becomes, the calmer he becomes, and the calmer he becomes, the more accurate he is.
He has the thickest neural circuitry among the new generation of players and has the mental quality to become a game finisher that will go down in history.
Ben Gordon's physical fitness is also very good. In my impression, when he went to the Bulls in the first season, he played hard throughout the season. His physical strength is very good, and his cardiopulmonary function is far better than ordinary people. His whole body is full of strength, and his upper limbs are not very strong, but they have strength.
Sufficient and adaptable to high-intensity physical confrontation. He has strong explosive power in his legs and can jump enough to participate in a slam dunk contest. His body movements are very coordinated, and he has good ability to stay in the air and fight in the air. He can often make incredible layups.
It seems that Ben Gordon has so many advantages and is an opponent that is difficult to defeat. However, Chen Jie does not take him seriously at all. The reason is that Chen Jie also knows his shortcomings very well. Offense
He doesn't protect the ball very well when breaking through. He likes to get into people and get the ball knocked away. Although he occasionally plays point guard, he lacks organizational skills and has a narrow field of vision after getting the ball. He basically works alone.
, lacks the awareness to break through and score, and has a high turnover rate in passing passes. Of course, the most critical reason is his poor defense, especially one-on-one defense. Any type of defender can find a breakthrough from Gordon.
Due to lack of height and limited defensive range, there is basically nothing you can do against big defenders. The ability to prevent defenders from breaking through is extremely poor, and there is almost no ability to defend from the side. You need to practice your defensive footwork well, relying too much on upper body defense instead of footwork. You are too nervous when defending.
He is prone to fake moves from offensive players, and often sends Gordon flying into the air with just one fake move. He can rely on his judgment and leg explosiveness to intercept a few passes and grab a few defensive rebounds, but that's about it.
With his defense so poor and his offense not perfect, Chen Jie naturally doesn't need to be overly prepared to face a formidable enemy.
He even had the confidence to tell all the media in today's interview after training, "I can completely destroy Ben Gordon."
In Chen Jie's view, Ben Gordon, the current Ben Gordon, is not at the same level as himself. He has this confidence!
Even if he is the third overall pick in next year's draft, how can he not be among the top three?
After dunking this windmill dunk that stunned the reporters present, and after Old K announced the end of the training, Chen Jie walked out of the arena with his schoolbag on his back. Along the way, he was accompanied by spotlights. But in his heart, besides thinking,
Watching tomorrow's game is your future.
This future, first of all, is the draft in June this year.
In his previous life, 2004 was considered a small draft year, incomparable to 2003. Except for the familiar Dwight Howard, and Emeka Okafor, who has almost died due to injuries, Chen Jie only had other names.
Remember Al Jefferson, Devin Harris, and Iguodala.
Although these players can be regarded as the main force or even the leaders of their respective teams, after all, they are still far behind compared to the 2003 draft year that produced several superstars.
However, with you here, you should be able to narrow the gap?
A smile appeared on Chen Jie's face.
This scene was once again captured by the flashlights of reporters. No one knew what the hidden meaning of Chen Jie's smile was.
When he saw this scene in the newspaper the next day, Chen Jie realized with a wry smile that his every move now had become the focus of the media.
This is just a small episode.
After a night of rest, the next day, the 2003-04 NCAA finals, the University of Connecticut versus Duke University, was about to begin.
Duke, a famous basketball school with a profound basketball background, this time under the leadership of Chen Jie, the first star and first point guard in the NCAA, launched a strong impact towards the honor that they have not touched for a long time.
Naturally, the University of Connecticut, which has produced superstars such as Ray Allen and Richard Hamilton, will not be willing to fail at the last moment.
On the day of the NCAA Finals, the NBA did not have a game to make concessions.
The outcome is determined by one game. This method also determines that this game is bound to be exciting and will become a classic.
Before the game, the big screen in the arena reviewed the promotion paths of the two teams scene by scene. Duke University is naturally led by Chen Jie. Chen Jie, whose statistics seem to be ranked among the best in NCAA history, is now like a star.
sky.
The University of Connecticut has the most outstanding inside player in the NCAA today, Emeka Okafor, and outside player Ben Gordon who is fully capable of challenging Chen Jie.
Everyone is waiting to see who will win this game.
The game hasn't even started yet, but the atmosphere in the entire arena has reached a fever pitch, with the audience shouting wildly one after another.
In the blink of an eye, players from Duke University and University of Connecticut walked out of the tunnel.
Seeing the No. 5 player wearing a white jersey, everyone's attention was attracted to him.
He is now the NCAA's signature player, Jay Sean!
The lights in the arena were turned off and dim...
When the lights were turned on again, the game finally started!
