Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

After 0:2, Derrick Rose was pushed to the cusp.

As a strong contender for this season's MVP, he has led the Bulls to the best results in the league!

But in the first round of the playoffs, the Knicks, eighth in the East, played a 2-0 start.

This situation is exactly the same as that of Dirk Nowowski.

In the 06-07 season, Dirk Nowitzki's MVP season led the Mavericks to a league-leading record of 67 wins and 15 losses, but was defeated by the Warriors in the first round. Moment, since then, the name of "soft egg" has been carried on the back, and to this day, this name has not been erased.

This year's Ross and the Bulls are just like the Mavericks of the past, and even worse!

Because the Mavericks played the first two home games, the score was only 1:1, and the Bulls this year, it was a 0:2 death start.

In this way, the media and the Internet questioned and criticized the young leader of the Bulls, which intensified.

"Ross and the Bulls must regret meeting the Knicks in the first round, such a strong team should not appear in the eighth position at all.... However, the situation at the time, whether you were in the first or the second Two, there's a chance of hitting the Knicks."

"The fact that the Knicks found the Bulls themselves, obviously, they made a very smart choice."

"Derrick Rose may be facing the biggest dilemma of his career, and if the Bulls are in the black eight, then his career may be as difficult as Dirk Nowitzki is today."

"The Bulls are in a last-ditch battle, and Derrick Rose must stand up and play his regular season MVP level!"

"Ross' performance in the first two games can only be said to be quite satisfactory. Compared with the Knicks' super rookie Bai Feng, and the two All-Stars Stoudemire and Anthony, they are not so outstanding, or even mediocre.

Now, all the pressure is on Derrick Rose!

Even before the team left for New York, the coaching staff also found Ross to talk.

"Derek, you are our only hope, and now, the team is in absolute passive, you have to step up!

Obviously, the Bulls' shortcomings were exposed in the playoffs.

They are obviously a single-core team, and the core of Derrick Rose has never proved himself in the playoffs. Naturally, the shortcomings of this team need not be repeated.

Even if they have a good defensive system, in the playoffs, countless facts have proved that it is difficult for a single-core team to win the final honor.

Even the god of basketball, Michael Jordan, and Scottie Pippen helped him. The 910 Bulls team's team building model this year is very similar to the 76ers at the beginning of the century. They are all offense and four defenses, and the core is also on the back line.

However, whether Derrick Rose's attacking ability is as strong as that of Allen Iverson at the peak is naturally a questionable question.

And are the four defensive players of the Bulls worthy of the four Iversons of the 76ers?

The answer may not be optimistic, but the truth is, Derrick Rose really has to stand up in this series, and the Bulls have no other player to rely on.

The great thing about playing in New York is that when you and the team both play well, you get more compliments and heat than anywhere else.

Carmelo Anthony deeply realized this. He scored 37 points in G2 and swept away the haze of G1. After returning to New York, he was also welcomed by the fans.

The fans were so enthusiastic, so crazy.

And this kind of doting on players is even more prominent in Bai Feng's body.

Among the welcome team, more than half of the fans wore Bai Feng's No. 13, about 30% wore Anthony's No. 7, and Stoudemire's No. 1 jersey only accounted for 20%.

Although Bai Feng was strictly guarded in G2, the data is not too explosive, but G1's 57+11 has become a legend in New York!

Now that the hero who created the legend has returned, the Knicks fans naturally hold him to a high position.

"City Hero", "God of New York", "Wonder Kid"

Countless titles were put on the banners by fans, showing their imagination and their love for Bai Feng.

Originally thought that a large number of fans would come to welcome him, Anthony, after seeing the actual situation, he couldn't help feeling sour, and said to Bai Feng: "Brother Bai Feng, I really envy you, you see, these are all your fans. "

Bai Feng just smiled and said nothing.

Of course, he didn't need to say anything to compliment Anthony or Stoudemire. After half a season's winning streak, the relationship between the three was already very strong.

Looking back on the cooperation between the three, apart from a big loss to the Mavericks, they have not encountered any setbacks.

On this day, after the relaxed team training, several of them even started to discuss the next opponent.

"As long as we don't wave, defeating the Bulls seems to be a sure thing. With a high probability of playing the Magic in the second round, we have a good chance of winning. Do you think the Western Finals will be against the Heat or the Celtics?" Lying on the floor Anthony has begun to look forward to the future.

Stoudemire said: "It must be the Heat, after all, their stars are better, the Celtics are still too old, although they are more experienced, but under the impact of James and Wade, they will collapse quickly. ."

Anthony asked again: "Bai Feng, what do you think?"

Bai Feng nodded: "I agree with Amare's statement."

Anthony himself made a "hmm" and said: "It's not really easy for us to play against the Heat, but it's not that we have no chance at all. If we were in a better state, we might have won. For the team in the finals, What do you think? Spurs or Lakers?"

Anthony, who is full of smiles, is looking forward to the finals. Although it is said that the first round has not been completed yet, it seems a bit premature to say this.

But people, you have to have some pursuits.

Stoudemire smiled: "Cameron, isn't it too early for you to say this now... However, if the opponent in the final is the Lakers, I think the possibility is higher, after all, they have won two consecutive championships. They have a lot of experience in the playoffs, and the Spurs are also possible, they are very stable in the playoffs every year, and they are all strong contenders for the championship, it depends on the state."

Anthony nodded and asked subconsciously, "Bai Feng, what do you think?"

Regarding this issue, Bai Feng originally thought it was too early to discuss, but now that he has said it, he expressed his opinion: "I think the Western Conference team most likely to reach the final is the Mavericks."

As soon as this different opinion came out, Anthony was the first to say "Huh", obviously feeling that Bai Feng's opinion was a bit strange, then he thought about it and said: "Yes, during our winning streak

Throughout all the strong teams in the league, only the Mavericks ended us.... However, in that game, our state was too bad, Bai Feng, you can't argue, the Mavericks are really good, but they are too old , Certainly will not be able to reach the final, the second round against the Lakers, at most 4:2. "

Stoudemire also said: "I agree with Cameron's statement, to say that the Mavericks can break out of the Western Conference is still a bit too abstract."

In this regard, Bai Feng did not say anything else.

Soon, the G3 game day that Knicks fans have been waiting for is coming!

Early in the morning of the match day, there were countless fans in the streets and lanes of New York wearing fan uniforms, with signs painted on their faces, and holding signs on the streets and lanes to show "Go cheer for the home team you support."

This is a tradition in the American fandom.

The streets of Manhattan, Central Park, Rock Park... These places are all occupied by Knicks fans!

Obviously, the fans of the city are crazy.

Especially when the team can achieve results, there are no fans in the United States that are crazier than those in New York, which is one of the reasons why the Knicks have such a high commercial value.

In the evening, two hours before the game, Madison Square Garden was full. Tickets for the playoffs were very tight here, and the court was full of big names and stars.

With Bai Feng's 57+11 shocking stats and the Knicks winning two consecutive away games, the topic of G3 at home in New York was full, and it became the first round of the playoffs The most watched game, bar none!

Not only did ESPN broadcast the game nationwide, but around this game, some big media threw out a lot of suspense before the game, completely filling up the anticipation of this game!

"Does the Bulls have any hope of fighting back after losing two home games in a row? They played extremely extreme in the first two games, what strategy will (bcff) come up with in this game?"

"Will the Knicks, who are at home, be in better shape, and use the power of the home to directly obtain four match points 3-0?"

"Will Bai Feng be unconditionally cared for by his opponents today, can he play the explosive scoring performance of G1 again?"

"Can the Bulls contain Anthony and Stoudemire? Or, if they're going to win, they'll have to block all three at the same time."

Even in the local basketball media in New York, most of the talk is about the Bulls.

Obviously, the Bulls, who were behind by a large score of 0:2, have changed their identity and have become a challenger.

The Knicks need to do, just keep their home court.

As long as you hold on to one game, you will be very stable. With a big score of 3:1, is it possible that you can lose three consecutive games in the following games?

If the Bulls can't stand the pressure and lose both games, there will be the worst sweep of the Black Eight in history.

Even if the Knicks lost both home games, it was only 2:2, but the media and fans in New York unanimously believed that this situation could not happen because they had Bai Feng, who can be called the head of the NBA. The most solid point guard.

Today's New York fans, if they don't know Bai Feng's stability, they must be new fans, or fake fans.

The player with the fewest turnovers per game in history.

Players with the highest assist-to-turnover ratio in a single season in NBA history.

Just these two titles are enough to show how stable Bai Huai is!

Averaged 0.6 turnovers per game in the season, less than 1 per game. Excluding players who only played a few minutes, any player who averaged 15 minutes per game was far from reaching this number.

The assist-to-turnover ratio is even more exaggerated, approaching the level of 15 per game. In other words, Bai Feng made 1 turnover for every 15 assists.

There is even more data analysis: "As long as the Knicks lead the game, it is difficult to lose in the end!"

This sentence is translated as: "The advantage of stability is that the advantage is difficult to be translated!"

Obviously, the Knicks now have an absolute advantage in this series, winning two away games in a row, and then two home games. When the team's mentality is in a hurry, or even collapses, they will be cold.

More and more Knicks fans are realizing the benefits of "stable"!

At first, they thought Bai Feng was just a cautious and conservative point guard.

Even after the Knicks management selected Bai Feng in the draft, New York fans collectively expressed their dissatisfaction.

Now a year later, they can only say: "It smells good!"

At the end of the regular season and the Heat coach, it is enough to reflect the value of Bai Feng's "steady" quality.

In that game, the Knicks and the Heat originally played back and forth, and even the Heat had some small advantages for a while, but in the second half, with the sudden increase of the Heat's mistakes, they collapsed.

Although the Knicks did not have any outstanding performance, they played steadily, made no mistakes and made no mistakes, and finally won the game smoothly.

Yes, the NBA game is not just beyond the upper limit, it does not mean that whoever plays more against the sky and whose state is more explosive is the only way to win the game.

Sometimes, as long as the opponent's state is worse and the performance is worse, you can play normally and win the game.

Hardcore fans discuss these questions about winning and losing games.

But there are other groups of fans, although winning or losing the game is also very important to them, but they may be more interested in the players themselves.

For example, the three very eye-catching super beautiful girls on the sidelines, all their eyes are on Bai Feng who is warming up on the court.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that the handsome guy Bai Feng is really amazing. In the first playoffs, he put himself at the top of the US trending search list..." Looking at Bai Feng, Scarlett praised.

Taylor also nodded and said: "At that time, we thought that he could at most become a small star in the NBA. Now it seems that we underestimated him. In the future, he may be able to become a superstar."

There is more than one person who shares the same thoughts with them.

Before the playoffs, Bai Feng was only a player with an average of 18+8 per game, which was good, but definitely not super strong.

And a player with an "overcautious" style of play and not enough expressiveness on the court certainly cannot become a superstar.

However, Bai Feng soon changed their minds.

In a playoff game, Bai Feng showed his explosive scoring power and expressive power!

You could say that's the opportunity the Bulls gave him, but it's not an opportunity for everyone.

Now, everyone is looking forward to Bai Feng, looking forward to when his next outbreak will come, and looking forward to where his future limit will be!

When the home game was over, the players from both sides came on stage.

[Knicks start]

Point Guard: Bai Feng

Shooting guard: JR Smith

Small Forward: Carmelo Anthony

Power Forward: Amare Stoudemire

Center: Nilotturiaf

[Bulls start]

Point Guard: Derrick Rose

Shooting Guard: Keith Bogans

Small Forward: Rolle Deng

Power Forward: Carlos Boozer

Center: Jokinoa

Both sides used their most conventional starting lineups, and the Bulls didn't start with the evolution of G2. Obviously, the decision to use Korver did not seem to have any good results.

And using this lineup, the Bulls are destined to play a system of four defenses and one attack.

This system has proved to be able to easily break the Knicks' weak defense in the past, but because there is no absolute outside firepower and explosive scoring power, it is difficult to widen the point difference. Once the Knicks' offense cannot be defended , In the case that the score is not as strong as the opponent, it will still lose.

Of course, the theory is the same, the specific situation is still the same sentence, you can only know it after playing!
