Chapter 650 648: Weak Team Counterattack
Chicago, this is Henson's second recent visit to the city.Just about a month ago, he had just come to Chicago to see Sager.But today, Henson is here to fight.

As soon as the players set foot on the land of Chicago, they all complained about the city's ultra-low temperature.

This year, Chicago saw a rare low temperature phenomenon.In early November, temperatures in Chicago dropped below zero.At this time in Indianapolis, the average temperature is still 11 degrees.It is normal for the players to not get used to the temperature here.

But among all of them, Henson found that Rose had the most complicated expression.

After getting off the plane, Ross first looked at the familiar and unfamiliar surroundings, then frowned, and buried his head.

Low temperature?What could be colder than the temperature in Rose's heart at this moment?
Rose has been trying to forget about it since being traded by the Chicago Bulls.But there are some things that cannot be forgotten in a lifetime.

After getting on the bus, the Pacers started heading to the hotel where they stayed.Since the game only started on November 11, Henson can still take the players to the United Center to run tactics this afternoon.I don't know what expression Rose will have at that time.

So, while sitting on the team bus, Henson leaned over to Rose and chatted with him.

"You must miss this place very much." Seeing Ross staring fascinatedly at the street scene outside the window, Henson asked.

After all, Chicago is where Rose dedicated his prime.At that time, he was the hero of the city and was regarded as the next Jordan of Chicago.

There is no one who does not miss his unbeaten period, as well as the environment and teammates in his heyday.

Once, the city was filled with giant posters of Ross.But now, you can't find any trace of Ross dedicating himself here.

Rose looked back at Henson. At this time, he had already grown dreadlocks and stubble, and he was no longer the spirited young defender.

He shook his head slightly, then continued to look out the window and said, "I don't miss my MVP days at all. I was so stupid back then."

Helpless, helpless, indescribable.

Henson didn't expect to get such an answer. After all, Rose's past glory seemed to be the same at first glance, but when he thought about it, it was still very scary.

Jordan won the MVP at the age of 25, James at the age of 25, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at the age of 24, Durant at the age of 26, and Curry at the age of 27.Later than them, Kobe won the MVP at the age of 29, and Nash was a late bloomer at the age of 31.

These names, just by listening to them, know how important they are.As for Rose, he has the ability to surpass everyone above, and won the MVP trophy at the age of 22!

But in the face of such brilliance, Ross said that he does not miss it at all.
Yes, the way he used to change speed breakthrough + stay in the air to score points is the most vulnerable to injury.If it weren't for injuries, his career shouldn't be where it is now.

If Rose is not injured, he may still not be able to pass the hurdle of the Heat or the Pacers.But he will always be that Rose of the Windy City, always waiting for an opportunity, and then tearing apart the opponent in front of him.

The bleak experiences of Cleveland, New York and Minnesota will not be repeated.

On cold nights, looking at those later generations, such as Curry, Harden, Irving, and Wall Rose, you may tell yourself: "If I don't get hurt, maybe I can."

Thinking about it this way, Rose really doesn't need to miss his MVP period too much.Because that made him and also broke him.

Henson patted Rose on the shoulder and didn't ask any more questions.This man's heart is much more complicated than Henson imagined.

But when Henson left the seat next to Rose, he couldn't resist asking one last question.

"If the curtain opens again, will you still play bravely?"

Henson smiled and left without waiting for Rose's answer.Because Henson knew that Ross would not let go of any chance to show himself!

※※※

The Chicago Bulls have not been very happy in the past two years. Although they could not go far in the playoffs, they were at the playoffs level anyway.Since Jimmy Butler left, the Bulls have officially started a long road to reconstruction.

Although Zach LaVine was traded from the Timberwolves, the guard who shocked the world in the slam dunk contest is not yet ready to be the core.

The talents of Markkanen and Chris Dunn have not yet been fully demonstrated.

So this season, the Bulls' goals are still bad.Even if they don't want to be bad, they don't have the strength to enter the playoffs.

So far, the Bulls' record is also very close to their goal-2 wins and 6 losses.

But the NBA is a magical place, and there are countless examples of the following offenses.Even if it is a bad team, it is possible to overturn the favorites occasionally

Last season, the Los Angeles Lakers, who couldn't be worse, even overturned the Warriors.Henson also capsized in the gutter in front of weak teams more than once.

Although Henson has become accustomed to similar things, he absolutely never imagined that the current Chicago Bulls are actually planning to do something that will capsize the Pacers' gutter.

"Justin Holiday didn't get a chance! Brogdon's defense is very good, there are 3 seconds left on the attack time, he must make a shot!"

Under the excited tone of the commentator, Justin Holiday, the elder brother of Holiday selected by Henson, made a jump shot in front of Brogdon!

Justin Holiday is a typical "3D" point guard. He defends well one-on-one, and his performance outside the three-point line is also considered stable.

But what he prefers is to catch and shoot, and he can be regarded as an off-ball scorer.It is not Justin Holiday's strong point to directly make a three-pointer with the ball.

But today, the Bulls are so amazing.Holiday's three-pointer crossed Brogdon's long arm, and under the condition of being seriously interfered, it was hollow into the net!
So far, the tenacious Bulls have overtaken the Pacers by 3 points!The entire United Center is boiling, and the fans of the bad team are actually more eager to win than anyone else.Because most of the time in a season, their home team is losing.

"Damn it, why don't they buy lottery tickets, why are they here to play basketball!?" Henson gritted his teeth in anger off the court. If his team didn't do well and caused the opponent to score, he would not be so angry.

But being scored by the opponent even though everything is done very well, this kind of thing is the most unacceptable for Henson.

You can beat me with strength, but with inexplicable luck?What's the matter.

And this is not the first time the Bulls have this kind of "fairy ball" today. Before that, Zach LaVine and Jabari Parker also hit similar interference three-pointers.

In this day and age, as long as the three-pointer can be pumped up, it is not difficult to commit the next offense.

"Looking at Coach Henson's irritable expression, he certainly didn't expect his team to encounter such a big trouble in Chicago. To be honest, the Bulls played at a super level today. But even so, no one wants to be upset."

In the following games, the Pacers continued to put pressure on the Bulls.Antetokounmpo dunks Jabari Parker, demonstrating his terrifying dominance.People say you can't learn anything from watching Antetokounmpo play because his offense is so rudimentary.Take the ball and swing it inside and you're done.

Henson agrees with this statement very much.But it is also Antetokounmpo's ability to score simple and rude goals.

Later, Paul George misplaced and singled out the first-year rookie selected by the Bulls with the seventh overall pick this year, Duke center Wendell Carter. As a result, George didn't bully the opponent with speed at all, but directly slapped the rookie.

Pulling up a three-point jumper in front of a center, George's goal can be said to be extremely damaging to the morale of the Bulls.

However, God still seems to be playing with Henson.

The goals of Antetokounmpo and George were quickly filled by LaVine's three-point layup after losing his center of gravity and Cameron Payne's corner three-pointer.

It is worth mentioning that Payne's three-point shooting percentage so far this season is only 27.1%.But just now, he stunned and hit a three-pointer steadily
"Fuck, it's disgusting!" Henson simply sat back on the bench, he didn't want to make himself too angry, lest his heart couldn't bear it.

Anyone who has played NBA2K games knows that when playing on a computer with a high difficulty, sometimes even if you defend well, the opponent will still score three-pointers, which is completely unreasonable.At this time, players usually want to slam the handle angrily, and yell: "Hit Jimmy Butler (**)!"

Henson is in this mood now, but he is not playing a game and has no option to start over.

After 7 minutes of the game, the Bulls still led by 2 points.At this time, it is almost time to enter the rotation time.Henson calmed down his emotions, and then walked up to Rose.

I hope that the rotation time will stop the Bulls' good luck.

"Derek!" Henson yelled, and Rose looked up sharply!

"This is the United Center, I guess I don't have to tell you how to play at the United Center?"

Ross didn't answer, but stood up silently and walked towards the technical platform.

At this point, only a few Bulls fans remember cheering Rose.After all, this bouquet of "roses" has withered for too long.
