Chapter 1 Paranoid Ross
There was always a fire in Rose's heart, and this fire burned in his chest and never went out.
Derrick Rose is a proud man. He led the University of Memphis all the way to the NCAA finals, led the Memphis Tigers to play such an amazing performance in March Madness, defeated many powerful enemies along the way, and finally faced off with the University of Kansas at the top of Huashan Mountain. .
For an extremely young player, Derrick Rose did all this before his 20th birthday.
Coupled with his status as the No. 08 pick in the [-] draft, he was even more unusual among the rookies of the same class.
Unlike Kevin Durant, most of the roles Durant played in his basketball career were No.2. Naturally, the status of the No. 07 pick in [-] will only make Kevin Durant feel hard.
But Rose is different. Rose has a very strong competitive spirit, and he never thinks that he is inferior to anyone.
Last year, Derrick Rose just arrived at the Chicago Bulls, and he didn't have a deep relationship with the team. There was a lack of tacit understanding between the players and the team's chemical reaction could not be effectively produced. At that time, Rose's rookie performance was impressive. Disappointed.
He ranks third in ESPN's rookie rankings. As a No. [-] pick, such an evaluation undoubtedly makes Derrick Rose very unconvinced.
During that period of time, Derrick Rose practiced desperately, worked hard to cooperate with the rest of his teammates, and accumulated tacit understanding bit by bit, hoping to play a good chemical reaction in the game.
Since then, Derrick Rose has led the Chicago Bulls on their journey to the playoffs. When the season ended, the Chicago Bulls became the biggest dark horse of the season and entered the playoffs as they wished.
Challenging the defending champion Celtics with the No.8 score in the East, the young Rose has no timidity. He is proud that he is more and more comfortable on such a big stage full of crises and opportunities. He seems to be born for this big stage. Born in general, Rose used his own strength to lead the Chicago Bulls forward.
In the end, it was the tiebreaker. Although Rose failed in the end, Rose understood that he was not bad. All he lacked was a little bit of luck. Black eight record!
Rose didn't care about other people's opinions. He firmly believed that he was the strongest. At the beginning, OJ Mayo performed much better than him. Many famous media publicly expressed their optimism, but Rose still believed in himself. He didn't think he was inferior to anyone. He I will prove everything with my own strength!
It can be said that Derrick Rose is an extremely paranoid person. His paranoia lies in his extreme self-confidence. It is this self-confidence that allows him to go so far on the road of basketball.
There are not many successful people in this world, but most of them are paranoid. Many of them have a little paranoid defect in their personality, which makes them work harder than others in pursuing their dreams.
The best example is Kobe Bryant!
Black Mamba, when the OK group disintegrated, how many people criticized him, how many people regarded him as a criminal, and poured a lot of dirty water on him, but Kobe was an extremely paranoid person.
Anything that makes him uncomfortable, he will solve it on the court, he will use one goal to make the opponent tremble, even if he hits the iron, he will knock the opponent's basket one by one.
It is this kind of character that created Kobe's ten-year hard work in Los Angeles at 4 o'clock in the morning, and the No. 1 bloodthirsty Black Mamba in the league today.
Ross doesn't think that OJ Mayo can be compared with himself. In college, Ross played against OJ Mayo a lot. This guy's strength is far inferior to him. Odu is not qualified to be compared with himself.
At the beginning of last year's season, OJ Mayo scored an average of 20 points per game and occupied the top spot in the rookie list. Everyone expressed their optimism. At this time, Derrick Rose just sneered.
It is in a bad team like the Memphis Grizzlies that OJ Mayo can score so unscrupulously!
In the eyes of Derrick Rose, most of OJ Mayo's data is based on swiping, and there is a lot of water in it.
But Rose is different. In his eyes, Chicago is a big city. Although the Bulls here are short-lived, they also have a glorious history. The two Bulls dynasties of Michael Jordan have accumulated a lot of loyal fans in this city. Bulls fans.
Moreover, Chicago is also Rose's hometown city. For Rose, this is his root. Since he was a child, he has dreamed of leading the Chicago Bulls to the playoffs, defeating opponents one after another, and finally winning the final Olympic Games. Brian Cup.
Just like Michael Jordan did!
Originally, Derrick Rose thought that he had reached the forefront of the new generation of stars. Even Kevin Durant, who was a year older than him, had not yet entered the playoffs and hadn't tasted the taste of the playoffs.
However, this year's Chinese boy Li Shihao broke Derek Rose's cognition.
Li Shihao not only played perfect personal data, 24.3 points and 6.8 assists personal data, looking at the history of the league, there are very few people who can beat it, not to mention, when Li Shihao brushed out this data, the Timberwolves were still able to lead the team under his leadership. Get into the playoffs.
Derrick Rose has watched Li Shihao's game video, and he clearly understands that Li Shihao's strength has indeed improved a lot compared to his college days, and it can even be said to be a kind of metamorphosis, just like a change of appearance like a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon.
In the eyes of Derrick Rose, Li Shihao has risen to the level of the enemy of life. Rose is a proud person. He looks down on OJ Mayo, not only because this guy is not as strong as him, but more importantly, OJ Mayo does not have one. Stop struggling, on the road of basketball, if you don't have the courage to move forward forever, then you will only be surpassed.
Derrick Rose understands that the current OJ Mayo seems to be doing well and can play a good number, but sooner or later, OJ Mayo will become a cold watchman on the bench.
On the contrary, Li Shihao, this Chinese boy has been improving, and his progress curve can be clearly seen, from high school to becoming stronger step by step, and finally growing to the present point.
Ross confronted Li Shihao in college and abused Li Shihao severely. It is precisely in this way that Ross is shocked by Li Shihao's current strength.
In just one or two years, the Chinese boy in front of him had the strength no less than him. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would definitely regard it as a legend in the Arabian Nights.
Li Shihao's rise in the West made Derrick Rose feel a pressure in his heart, and at the same time made him feel a little excitement, just like the excitement of seeing the prey.
Derrick Rose understands the difficulty of breaking through in the West, which is no less difficult than rushing to fifth and sixth in the East.
In the relatively weak Eastern Conference, the competitive pressure is not as great as that of the Western Conference. Especially this year, when the Western Conference collectively broke out, the Eastern Conference teams generally suffered from suppression, and most of their records have shrunk a lot compared to last season.
However, newcomers like the Chicago Bulls can still reach the top eight positions in the Eastern Conference and qualify for the playoffs because of the fundamental reason why the overall strength of the Eastern Conference is not high.
Rose's belligerence tonight was seething in his blood, making his deepest cells shudder, and it excited him.
He wants to prove himself, he wants to defeat the Chinese boy Li Shihao, and he wants everyone to clearly see who is the best point guard of the younger generation in the league!
This is what he wants to do tonight, and the only way to achieve this goal is to steal the victory that belongs to the Timberwolves in Minnesota's home target center!
In this game, Corey Brewer was placed in the guard position by Frank Vogel and partnered with Li Shihao in the backcourt. His main task was to defend Derrick Rose and try his best to limit Rose's performance.
Derrick Rose is the strongest point of the Chicago Bulls, but also the weakness of the Chicago Bulls. As long as his performance is restricted, the Bulls will have little hope of winning the game.
What the Timberwolves need to do is to separate Derrick Rose from the Bulls' lineup, restrict his performance, and prevent him from using his outstanding personal ability to lead the team to victory.
Derrick Rose's personal ability is so outstanding, even the Los Angeles Lakers dare not let Derrick Rose play his personal ability wantonly.
Lightning-like rushing speed, weird breakthrough and change of direction, freehand and natural layup like a magician, the ability of this No. [-] is too scary.
"Cory, can you guard him? This guy is hard to deal with!"
Hearing Li Shihao's question, Brewer smiled wryly, "I don't know, that guy is too strong, I can only try my best to limit him, but fortunately his shooting skills are not too good, I can shoot most of them focus on defending his drives."
Li Shihao patted Corey Brewer's broad shoulders, "Cory, don't worry too much, I will always pay attention to the movements here, and at critical moments, I will defend him with you."
As he said that, Li Shihao cast his eyes on Derek Rose, who was opposite him, and his eyes couldn't help but freeze.
Seemingly sensing Li Shihao's gaze, Derek Rose turned his head and met Li Shihao's gaze.
Suddenly, Derek Rose smiled, showing a row of white teeth, and his smile was extraordinarily bright.
Rose raised his right hand, raised it towards Li Shihao, then clenched it tightly, swung it upwards, and smiled wantonly.
Li Shihao also smiled, without flinching at all, raised his right hand, made the same gesture, and looked at Ross with sharp and penetrating eyes.
He will not admit defeat to anyone!
"beep"
When the whistle from the referee was blown, the ball flew high from the referee's hand and flew straight to the highest point in the sky.
"Hey!"
Jokinoah and Marc Gasol shouted at the same time. The two of them held back a burst of strength, burst out all of them, stood up from the ground, and at the same time stretched their hands into the sky.
The ball was first touched by Gasol Jr., who relied on the advantage of half of his palm to easily get the ball at the beginning of the game. He flicked the ball behind his head lightly.
Kevin Love, who was behind him, caught the basketball without any hesitation. Love threw the ball forward, and at the same time, he ran fast and rushed towards the frontcourt.
This result was beyond everyone's expectations. Instead of giving the ball to Li Shihao to control, Love passed the ball to the frontcourt instead?
There was a flash of surprise in Rose's eyes, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart. When he turned his head to look at his own half, his heart sank.
Corey Brewer didn't know when he had already rushed past the three-point line. At this time, Kevin Love's pass seemed to be timed. It just so happened that Corey Brewer ended up with a basketball speeding past his head. , accompanied by the whistling wind, gently holding the basketball in his hand, leaping high, stretching out his hand to the basket and sending it lightly.
"Shh-"
With a crisp and pleasant voice, Corey Brewer took the lead for the Timberwolves. At the beginning of the game, he took advantage of the lightning speed to launch a fast break and scored the opening two points!
"It's a good pass!" Corey Brewer and Love celebrated by high-fiving when returning to defense, with smiles in their eyes.
Seeing that the score became 2:0, Corey Brewer scored the first score for the home team Timberwolves.The Timberwolves fans in the audience gave full play to their home court advantage, cheers rang out one after another, and the shouts on the scene were overwhelming, beating the heart of the young Bulls players like a huge wave.
Derrick Rose's face was full of seriousness, and the bad premonition in his heart was faintly becoming true.
Tonight, the Timberwolves will probably use fast-break tactics frequently. They pinpointed the characteristics of the Bulls' poor defense, and they plan to use their offensive frenzy to knock down the Bulls.
A trace of solemnity flashed in Rose's eyes. He understood that tonight's game would be a bit difficult. As the team leader, he knew the weaknesses of the Chicago Bulls all too well.
The weakness on the defensive end is one of the biggest problems exposed by the Bulls this season. If the Timberwolves catch this weakness and keep amplifying it in the game, then the only thing waiting for the Chicago Bulls is failure.
He must change all this!
The first offense of the Bulls was handed over to Rose to lead, and Luol Deng had no intention of attacking, hiding in the bottom corner without any intention of moving.
Rose looked for a hand inside and motioned Jokinoah to do a pick-and-roll for him.
At this moment, it is time to choose the pick-and-roll to get an offensive opportunity.
But he didn't want Rose to fool most of the players on the field. Rose directly made two large-scale changes of direction, and with Noah's cover, he directly rushed into the paint.
Rose flicked his left wrist and handed the ball to his right hand, like a vigorous cheetah bursting out at a speed of [-] yards in an instant!
too fast!Too fast to react!Such a sentence suddenly flashed in Brewer's mind.
Rose broke through Corey Brewer's defense in an instant and went in. He shot the ball and sent it, then hugged the basketball, and rose in three steps!
Rose sank his body, straightened his back, made a difficult folding layup, avoided Love's block, and then pulled the bar lightly.
The basketball bounced high on the backboard, and then fell lightly into the hoop.
2:2 draw, the cheers at the target center stopped for a moment.
