() At the end of August and the beginning of September, the NBA's new season training camp began. After enjoying a summer vacation, NBA stars also began to return to their teams to report.
Chen Jie also said goodbye to Beyoncé at this time and came to Chicago alone.
When he got off the plane, Chen Jie did not expect that a large number of welcoming fans gathered outside the airport.
Moreover, not only the fans, but also many local basketball media in Chicago also went to the airport to greet Chen Jie.
The last time Chen Jie came to Chicago for a physical examination to sign a contract, the news was relatively secret and not many people knew about it. By the time the Bulls announced that they had signed a contract with Chen Jie, Chen Jie had already left Chicago. These Bulls
Diehard fans also missed the opportunity to meet the team's future stars.
But it seems that this time, they got their wish.
As soon as Chen Jie walked out of the tunnel, he was immediately surrounded by reporters. Because he did not expect that his coming to Chicago would cause such a sensation, Chen Jie did not notify the Bulls to greet him at all, nor did he tell Dan Fagan that he
News coming today.
So, while he was curious about how these people knew that he was on this flight, he was also worried about how to escape today.
The Chicago media was very enthusiastic about this year's No. 3 overall pick and asked questions one after another.
"Jay, what do you think about yourself being selected third this year?"
"Jay, are you happy or disappointed to join Chicago?"
"Do you have any goals for the new season?"
"The Bulls' current lineup is very young and there are no big-name players on the team. What are your expectations for the Bulls' performance this year?"
Although he had a headache, there were no bodyguards or staff to help him deal with it. Chen Jie had to answer them one by one. Fortunately, Dan Fagan had told Chen Jie how to answer these questions before, so now he still looks very cool.
Calm.
"Well, the third pick is also a recognition for me. There is actually not much difference between the No. 1 pick and the No. 2 pick. It depends on the needs of each team. I don't think the players ranked higher than me are better than me.
Outstanding, of course, I don’t think players ranked lower than me are inferior to me.”
"Chicago is a good city and the Bulls are a good team. Michael Jordan has been my idol since I was watching football. I am very happy to be able to join the team he once stayed for and continue to fight where he once fought.
I’m happy and looking forward to it at the same time.”
"In the new season, I think I still need to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA first, and then work hard to perform at my own level. I don't dare to think too much about other things right now."
"Being young and not having big-name players is actually an advantage, isn't it? Young people are motivated. Our team's record last year was not good. We definitely want to change it this year. We can make it through the playoffs, the second round, and the finals.
The further away, the better!”
After answering the reporters' questions one by one, Chen Jie extravagantly hoped that they would let him go. However, he underestimated the madness of these reporters.
"Although youth is an advantage, don't young people also have no experience? Including you, Tyson Chandler, Eddie Curry, Luol Deng, Kirk Hinrich, you guys are the most
That is to say, Tyson and Eddie have played for three seasons. Will the lack of experience ultimately determine the success or failure of your season?"
"Have you not thought about Rookie of the Year? Or, maybe do you have any requirements for your data in the first season?"
"When you were at Duke University, you were a point guard. Although your assist statistics were good, some people thought your playing style was unique. What do you think?"
"In the NCAA, you have always been able to maintain your ability to compete for the championship. If you can't see the hope of winning the championship with the Bulls, will you ask the team to trade you out?"
It was a new round of questions, and Chen Jie was a little frightened.
"Well, experience is a big issue for us. But I think, under the leadership of coach Scott, we can go further."
"Of course I want to win the Rookie of the Year Award, but this is not something I can decide alone. Dwight and Emeka are both good players, and there are many good players this year. I can't say that I am determined to win it. As for the data,
As long as the team can win, the data is not important!"
"My playing style is very unique? Man, are you sure you are talking about me? You know, I came from Duke, and Duke produces team players!"
"The Bulls drafted me, and I am a part of the Bulls. Unless the team trades me, I don't think I will ask to be traded. At least, that's the case now!"
After answering this round of questions, Chen Jie was still enthusiastic when meeting the reporters. He wiped his sweat and said with some lack of confidence: "What, I just got off the plane and haven't eaten yet, can you let me go first? After we report tomorrow,
There should be a meeting, if you have any questions then, can I answer them one by one?"
As he spoke, Chen Jie showed a pitiful look.
But the media didn't buy it at all and continued to ask questions.
"What do you know about Coach Scott? Can you give a brief evaluation?"
"Many players said they would not ask for active trades, but later broke their promises. Just like Tracy this year, when he first came to the Magic, he also vowed to express his loyalty. Will you be like him?"
"Do you really not care about data? You know, the team's victory is honor, and only personal data can guarantee a big contract."
"Jie..."
Seeing the media's enthusiasm, Chen Jie finally couldn't bear it anymore. He took out his mobile phone and silently made a call to Bulls manager John Paxson.
"I'm at the airport now. I'm trapped by reporters. I want to go home!" Chen Jie's eyes were filled with tears.
Obviously, he is trying to be cute.
When Paxson heard the news, he immediately said: "I understand. Just wait, someone will pick you up soon!"
Hearing Paxson's promise, Chen Jie felt relieved, then hung up the phone and looked at the media with a smile.
"Jay, you haven't answered the question just now. What do you know about Coach Scott?"
…………………………………………………………………………
"Hey, hello!" Chen Jie waved to the fans next to him.
"Jay Sean." The fans responded enthusiastically.
"Jay Sean, you must play well, we support you!" Seeing Chen Jie greeting him, many fans shouted excitedly, and there was a tendency to surround the media.
"Ah, my camera." "Ah, my recorder!" Immediately, the scene was in chaos. Chen Jie achieved his goal and continued to put on a smile, signing autographs for the fans who rushed up, while smiling helplessly at the reporters.
, meaning, it’s not that I don’t want to answer, the fans are too enthusiastic.
The media reluctantly picked up the interview tools on the ground and could no longer surround him. They looked at each other and realized in their hearts that this new Jay Sean would definitely be a difficult person to deal with in the future.
However, this incident did not leave a bad impression on Chen Jie in the minds of the Chicago media. After all, he was very cooperative at the beginning.
After a while, Bulls staff came to clear the road and finally brought Chen Jie out.
Before leaving, Chen Jie waved reluctantly to the ball behind him. Of course, he also did not forget to wave reluctantly to the media who came to greet him.
He did not blame these reporters. After all, it was necessary for people to pay attention to him and to blame them.
After Chen Jie left, the fans slowly dispersed, and reporters began to go back to write articles, all thinking of sending out the first report about Chicago's new hope Jay Sean in advance.
