Chapter 89 The Outburst of Ross

Rose who broke out in Chapter 1

In the opening game, the Bulls won the ball, and the ball was passed to Rose in the backcourt, and Rose firmly controlled it.

Li Shihao didn't dare to relax his vigilance. Facing Derrick Rose's attack with the ball, he didn't dare to slack off.

The opponent was the one who knocked him out in the NCAA. Even though Li Shihao now thinks that he has improved a lot from before, he dare not underestimate this powerful opponent.

Rose has spent his rookie season in the league, and he has shown his brilliance at a young age. In Chicago, everyone knows his name, and the nickname "Windy City Rose" is even more widely spread.

In one season, Rose has adapted to this league and survived successfully, and his strength has improved greatly compared to his college days.

Since Li Shihao entered the league, he has never played against Rose, and he has never personally experienced Rose's breakthrough.

And Curry's Golden State Warriors have played against Rose a long time ago. Curry rarely had the opportunity to start in that game, but he couldn't defend against Derrick Rose who was in good condition.

The consequence of not being able to restrain Derrick Rose is that the Bulls are blooming across the board, with multiple points breaking out and scoring a big lead.

Faced with such a situation, Curry, as a rookie on the team, naturally suffered a lot of pressure.

The Golden State Warriors are not like the Minnesota Timberwolves, where the leadership position of the team is hanging high. Monta Ellis is the leader of the Golden State Warriors today, and naturally controls a lot of ball rights.

The head coach Nelson's intention to select Curry in the summer, Monta Ellis knew very well that no complaints were false.

After the disintegration of the crazy Warriors that year, Nelson Sr. gave up the idea of ​​winning the championship with the current lineup and determined to rebuild the team. Curry is the future leader in the eyes of the head coach Nelson Sr.

The alternation of the old and the new will naturally cause some changes within the team. Although it has not yet exploded, Curry has already felt the hidden undercurrent.

When the matchup with Rose was overwhelmed, Curry naturally thought about getting it back on the offensive end, but when Monta Ellis asked Curry for the ball, he didn't give him the ball. He said: "Rookie, pay attention to your positioning, and do your defensive work well!"

In that game, Curry's 10 points and 4 rebounds in the game were really shabby. The defensive end could not restrain Derrick Rose, and the offensive end could not get enough possessions. Curry's game was exhausted. suffering.

The audience only made two three-pointers, and they were obtained by three-point long-range shots after grabbing a defensive rebound.

The game that night was a bit late in the Minnesota time zone, but because of his friend Curry, Li Shihao still stayed up late to watch the game.

For Rose's strength, Li Shihao has a clearer and more intuitive understanding, and the powerful change of direction breakthrough is really incredible.

Rose's breakthrough skills are not just a combination of speed and technology. As one of the few point guard champions in the history of the league draft, Rose's physical fitness is also terrible. The second position is not down.

What happens when speed, strength, and technology are combined?Li Shihao didn't understand it before, but now he understands that Derrick Rose is such a combination.

In the No. [-] position, Rose is now a BUG-like existence, unable to defend at all.

Rose forced a breakthrough against Li Shihao's defense at the beginning of the game, rushed to the basket like a gust of wind, and made a layup.

The quick and powerful breakthrough left Li Shihao with no room to parry.

There is no lack of good breakthrough players in the league. Iverson, Chris Paul, and Wade are all good players. They all have great experience in breakthroughs.

Iverson is a perfect combination of speed and skill, but he is not strong in strength, and opponents are often easily fooled by his deceptive changes.

The strength of Chris Paul's breakthrough lies in the sense of rhythm. The excellent sense of rhythm combined with superb ball-handling skills can easily play with defensive players. There are not a few players in the league who are played by him.

Wade's breakthrough was stronger in his lightning-fast first step. In the 06 finals, he almost single-handedly won four games in a row, which shocked many people.

But the strength of Rose's breakthrough lies in his control over his body. As the No. 08 pick in the [-] draft, he has a great exposure rate. To win the management's optimism and media attention.

But the results were mostly consistent, and Derrick Rose, who was still in his rookie season, successfully teased the veterans who tried to teach him a lesson.

Many superstars in the league have publicly praised Rose's breakthrough technology, and many retired basketball stars even pointed out that Derrick Rose is the best player in the new generation of players in the league who uses breakthrough technology.

Derrick Rose deliberately competed with Li Shihao, and showed a strong desire to attack at the beginning. In the first quarter, he reached the basket with the ball several times in a row and scored layups.

But Li Shihao didn't respond at all. On the contrary, he shot very decisively from the outside. In the first quarter, he hit two three-pointers in a row, increasing the number of long-range shots.

In the first quarter, the Timberwolves and the Chicago Bulls were evenly divided, and the two teams were tied.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Bulls handed over a lot of possessions to Derrick Rose. This young leader attacked the basket a lot tonight, and the offensive rhythm of the rest of the Bulls players was obviously affected.

Like Hinrich, Noah and other starting players have appeared a lot of iron phenomenon, Rose obviously did not notice this.

"Bruce, what are you afraid of? I really want to fight with you, deploy all your offensive weapons, I want to see how much you have improved?" Derek Rose couldn't get a positive response from Li Shihao, and felt a little anxious in his heart. opened the mouth.

He provoked the Minnesota's defense repeatedly tonight, and he shot all over the inside and outside, but Li Shihao still remained indifferent. He rarely saw him break through and enter the Bulls penalty area to score. On the contrary, his outside shots increased greatly, turning into a He became a jumper master and fired frequently from the outside.

Derrick Rose was a little annoyed. Originally, some heroes cherished the hero's emotions. Now after seeing Li Shihao's "weak and incompetent" playing style, he couldn't contain the anger in his heart.

Rose started a big explosion tonight, frequently broke through the Timberwolves' defense, and attacked with the ball. Love made a foul on the inside defense.

The Timberwolves' scoring data is very average. Love and Marc Gasol on the inside got plenty of space and succeeded in singles. Ryan Gomez on the outside also made two shots and scored 5 points easily.
