Chapter 195: Knowing the Difficulty?
March 6, Pacers Bankers Living Arena.
Before heading to New York, the Pacers face the Chicago Bulls at home.
Unlike bad teams like the Pacers and Knicks, the Bulls are definitely one of the proper powerhouses in the East.
Their current record is 39-23, which is only behind Atlanta and the Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers, and third in the East!
It stands to reason that they should be happy to have such a proud record, but now it is the opposite......
Because, Derek Ross is injured again!
The discussion about Rose has never stopped, everyone said that he was a superstar delayed by injuries, and if there were no injuries, where would the successor of the league get his turn?
Even, the situation of the entire alliance may well be rewritten!
It's a pity that there is no if, the real problem is that Rose's style of play is very easy to get injured, unless he and Xu Xuan are like Xu Xuan to make a powerful physical talent on it, and unlock the achievement of getting more and more injured, otherwise there is no play.
This was the case a few days ago, when Rose, who had just helped the team beat the Warriors in the final seven seconds, suffered another injury to the meniscus in his right knee.
Rose first felt some pain in his right knee, so he immediately underwent an MRI. The results were so bad that Rose was diagnosed with a torn medial meniscus in his right knee and would have to undergo surgery.
Expected to return in 4-6 weeks.
O calamity rose......
Xu Xuan sighed, but the Bulls team is really tenacious, even after the main player is injured, he can still cheer up and focus on the game.
At this moment, Xu Xuan suddenly saw a tall shadow......
Yes, Rose is not here, the Bulls still have him!
Joakim Noah!
If Rose is the soul of the bull, then Noah is definitely the pillar of the bull!
Relying on him to support, no matter how many times Rose is injured and returns, the Bulls can always stabilize the situation.
It can be said that half of the achievements of the Bulls in the past few years are due to him.
"That's a pretty tough inside line!"
Unlike his cousin, Mr. Yoo or Downs, who are later generations of big centers, Noah is a little weaker in attack, and his strength lies in defense!
Last season's double formation plus DPOY, it was simply not horizontal!
In comparison, Hibbert was like a tall fool in front of him, nothing but tall......
It's really envious!
In the All-Star Rookie Challenge, Xu Xuan teamed up with the "Eiffel Tower" Gobert who has not yet made a bid, in his perspective, Gobert and Noah are very similar, but Gobert is taller, and his housekeeping skills are all defense, and they are all the same tough and fierce!
Banker's Life Arena.
The last game of the fiasco made the Bulls all hold their strength, especially Noah, with Rose injured, the Bulls desperately need a big win to stabilize the morale of the army.
The race is on!
Hibbert's only advantage in front of Noah turned into a cloud, and Noah jumped up and got the ball for the first attack with his big hand.
Aaron Brooks, who came off the bench, carefully guarded the ball forward, and the basketball was like his child, and he did not allow anyone to snatch it from him.
As the player who replaced Rose's starting position, Brooks also has a lot of pressure!
That's Chicago's pride.
"Compared to him, I am a heaven and an earth, right?" Brooks laughed self-deprecatingly.
But he didn't back down.
Because he has a bunch of good teammates.
Noah......
Butler......
Even the head coach Thibodeau......
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if it's out of position, I can defend against two." Butler's words still rang in his ears.
"Can't live up to their expectations!"
Come on!
"It's a strong sense of oppression."
"The Bulls don't seem to be loosening up because of Rose's absence!"
Tonight's bull is a red-eyed bull!
But is a walker a matador?
"I didn't expect the Pacers to really withstand the pressure." Kenny Smith said.
"Of course, this is the Pacers, with Xu Xuan's team!" Barkley replied proudly.
Banker's Life Arena.
The Bulls, who wanted to get a win tonight, were in trouble.
The opposite Pacers are not as weak as they imagined before the game, especially the young man wearing the No. 23 jersey, who can always stand up and turn the tide at the critical moment of the team!
Noah glanced at Xu Xuan deeply, it seems that if he wants to take away the victory tonight, he can't avoid Xu Xuan.
"Jimmy!"
Noah shouted.
Butler nodded.
He and Noah are the core of the Bulls' defense right now, inside and out.
"WOW, Chicago has stepped up their defensive intensity again, and it's ......"
"Is this a pinch?"
Pinch shots are generally the standard for stars, but today, Xu Xuan also enjoyed this treatment exceptionally.
"Flanking me?"
Xu Xuan narrowed his eyes, is this the tactic of the Bulls tonight?
It's really hard......
But is it really locking me up?
There's an unwritten saying in the league that superstars can't be locked up!
Otherwise, it can't be called a superstar.
Can Xu Xuan be considered a superstar?
Thibodeau doesn't think counts!
What kind of superstar is a rookie game MVP and a three-point contest championship once?
He's not even a star, at best a "promising rookie."
Tom Thibodeau doesn't think he will be wrong, don't take too long, in about half a month, Xu Xuan will definitely suffer a "fatal blow", and then his true form will be revealed.
Rookie?
Ha!
Do you think you're Rose?
How can there be so many Roses in the world?
What's more, this guy's defense is so bad that he doesn't even want to take a second look......
As a defensive main strategy, Tom Thibodeau is the most disdainful of a player like Xu Xuan who has poor defense.
However, strategically defying the enemy, tactically it is still necessary to pay attention to it!
"The flanking is the best gift for him!"
Thibodeau thought viciously.
however
The next second,
His eyes widened......
"This, this, this ......"
"Is he still human?"
I saw that Xu Xuan in the line of sight passed through the gap between the two of them with a clean and neat change of direction and crossover before Butler and Mike Dunleavy formed an encirclement.
"It's definitely not a good choice!"
In front of him is Noah's defense area, if Xu Xuan takes a step further, he will be hit by Noah's thunder!
"Silly?"
Of course Xu Xuan is not stupid!
After killing Butler and Dunleavy in the pinch circle, Xu Xuan did not choose to face the difficulties, but stopped on the spot, held the ball with both hands and gently threw it to the left......
Passed the ball?
Isn't it just passing?
Knowing men and going up is not Xu Xuan's style, and fighting and retreating is the king!
