Chen Jie was very happy to finally escape the siege of reporters. The staff sent by the Bulls picked up Chen Jie from the airport and sent him home.
This three-bedroom and one-living house in the suburbs of Chicago is more than 150 square meters. After Chen Jie, who has lived here for a few days, opened the door, he still sighed that the living room in the United States is really big. It stands to reason that in a place like Chicago where land is so expensive, you can buy something like this.
The house should be very expensive, but after Chen Jie inquired about it, he found that it could be bought for about 200,000 U.S. dollars, which in 2004 was only over 1.2 million yuan, which is really incomparable to the housing prices in China.
A luxury villa in the city center only costs 1 million U.S. dollars. With Chen Jie's income, he could easily buy a villa, but there was nothing suitable for him at the moment, so he rented such a house first.
, prepare to slowly explore in Chicago.
Living alone is always relatively empty and lonely. After taking a shower, he watched TV for a while, made a meal of instant noodles, and then Chen Jie went to bed.
Early the next morning, Chen Jie drove his new car to the United Center in Chicago. Today was a media meeting. As the most important rookie of the Bulls in the new season, he was named to accompany the head coach and general manager to meet the media.
The driver's license was issued by Dan Fagan. It is very strict to apply for a driver's license in the United States. Only a person with a wide range of contacts like Dan Fagan could get it for Chen Jie so quickly.
After arriving at the United Center, Chen Jie entered through a special passage in the arena, and before meeting his future teammates, he was led by the staff to the lounge outside the press conference hall.
In addition to Chen Jie, the first ones to meet the media were Scott Scales and Bulls general manager John Paxson. After meeting the media this time, Chen Jie also had to go filming the new season with his teammates.
Customized photos and promotional photos.
When Chen Jie walked into the lounge, Paxson and Skiles greeted him with smiles. They had high regard and expectations for this year's No. 3 pick, the MVP of the NCAA Final Four.
Not long after politely greeting the two "leaders" of the team, the three of them arrived at the press conference together. At this time, almost all the media in Chicago had gathered, and many media from across the country also came to the scene, such as tnt
Basketball media, such a major broadcaster, has sent special reporters to cover the new season press conferences of several important teams.
In fact, the results of the Bulls last season were not enough to attract such attention from major national media such as TNT. However, because firstly, the Bulls still have a long history and can be considered a strong old team. After all, the last dynasty in NBA was the Bulls dynasty. Secondly,
, another purpose of these reporters coming is obviously Chen Jie, a rookie who is attracting much attention this year.
After Paxson, Scales, and Chen Jie expressed their confidence in this team and their goals for the new season, it was time for the media to ask questions for free.
Because most of the media who greeted Chen Jie yesterday came to the scene, the questions today are a little different from yesterday.
Chen Jie, who had been told by Dan Fagan long ago, no longer had the anxiety of being besieged yesterday. He answered one by one very calmly. The media were also very happy with Chen Jie's cooperation and their support for this rookie.
Favorability soared.
For now, Chen Jie and the local Chicago media are still in the honeymoon period.
After asking Chen Jie, he then asked Skiles. Many of the questions are actually commonplace and are asked every season, but there were still a few questions that attracted Chen Jie's attention.
When a local Chicago media asked Scales if he would start Chen Jie in the first game of the new season, Chen Jie's eyes visibly lit up and he listened carefully to Scales' answer.
This is a question he has always wanted to ask, but he felt that he had asked it wrong. Now that the media has asked it for him, it is of course the best thing.
In his first season at Duke, because of Old K's desire to train Chen Jie, he was suppressed for most of the season before starting in the knockout round. Chen Jie has deeply experienced the feeling of sitting on the bench.
, it was very uncomfortable, so when he came to the NBA, Chen Jie didn’t want to repeat this experience again.
Skiles's answer was that Chen Jie is a very talented player and definitely has the ability to start. However, he is a rookie after all, and his adaptability to the NBA is still unknown. This needs to be observed by the coaching staff before making a decision.
Conclusively, I can’t give a definite answer yet.
It's official talk again. Chen Jie knows that the Bulls now have Chris Hakorn as the starting point guard, but the possibility of him starting again this year may be slim. After all, Hinrich of the 2003 generation also has one year of experience.
, his talent is much better than that of Hakone. As for myself, I just don’t know how the Bulls are positioned. If he plays as a shooting guard, he should be able to compete for the starting spot. If he plays as a point guard, he probably won’t be able to compete with Hinrich.
However, James Anthony and all the rookies last year started the first game. It is estimated that Okafor Howard will also start the first game. If he comes on the bench, he will start slower than others.
Chen Jie was thinking this in his mind, but his expression always maintained a very kind smile.
Afterwards, as the atmosphere became heated, many media asked many sharp questions, such as whether Chen Jie would become the leader of the Bulls in the future, and whether the Bulls would build a system with Chen Jie as the cornerstone.
After all, judging from this summer's trades and drafts, the Bulls are determined to rebuild. There are many young players in the team, and the oldest among the main players are all from the 2001 era. Among these players, the media are generally optimistic about Chen Jie
It's the most promising one.
However, Scales and Johnson were very tight-lipped about this, which made the media very anxious.
However, the scene that followed seemed to be suggestive, and many media felt that this might be the answer.
That was the part where Chen Jie's new season jersey was shown after the questions.
This link is more like taking photos for the media to prepare for reporting. However, the media are still more concerned about what number Chen Jie will choose in the new season.
The Bulls' numbers including 23, 33 are impossible. The No. 5 jersey worn by Chen Jie in college now has an owner, and Noccioni is wearing it.
So the media are very curious about which number this rising star will choose.
When Chen Jie and Johnson showed the back of their jerseys together, the media were stunned.
The number 1 is clearly printed on the jersey!
number 1!
The media seems to have seen the future of the Bulls. Could it be that from now on, this young man will be the number one figure of the Bulls?
Chen Jie smiled inwardly when he saw the reaction of the media. Before the draft, he actually thought that no matter which team he went to, he would wear the No. 1 jersey. However, after being selected by the Bulls, he knew that the No. 1 jersey was owned by a bench player Tommy.
·In Smith's hands, Chen Jie, who thought his hope was about to fail, didn't expect that he just casually talked to Fagan, and the agent actually contacted Smith and asked him to give up the No. 1 jersey to him.
This makes Chen Jie very happy!
Because number 1, this number, has a special meaning in his heart!
