Chapter 202: Champion Lang
It's March.
At the end of February, the Eastern Conference Player of the Year went to Dwyane Wade and the Western Conference Player of the Year went to Kobe Bryant.
At this point, Kobe Bryant has surpassed James to win the third Player of the Month of the season, while in the East, James and Wade each won twice.
Wade is aiming for his first scoring title and is currently averaging over 30 points per game, ranking first in the league.
March.
March is the last full month before the end of the league season, and there are still a lot of changes in the rankings during this month, and players who are still some way away from the playoffs may also be able to make the playoffs through this month's efforts.
There is still a long way to go, and no one is born with the desire to lose, unless a strategic task is given.
At the beginning of March, the 76ers had another wave of road trips.
The 76ers lost only one game on the road this time, consolidating their top-four record in the East.
On March 13, the 76ers host the Chicago Bulls.
The Chicago Bulls look like they are on the verge of the playoffs, and they could be squeezed out of the top eight at any time, but they could also win one or two games and squeeze out others.
For the playoffs, the Bulls are destined to win every game.
The match was considered the focal point, and the champion Derrick Rose, who had already experienced the baptism of the season for most of the season, challenged fellow speed breakthrough superstar Iverson.
this year.
Allen Iverson is 34 years old and Derrick Rose is under 21 years old.
Derrick Rose's body is as strong as a cow, and in the entire 08 class of players, there is no player with more superhuman physical fitness than him, that is, Beasley, Westbrook and others, and now it seems that in terms of physical talent, it is also worse than Derrick Rose, and the Bulls did not hesitate to choose Derrick Rose in the draft.
Derrick Rose, dubbed the Windy City Roses, carries all of the Bulls' post-Jordan dreams.
The two teams have met once before, with the Bulls losing.
In the evening, the Arena of the Wajovia Center.
The two teams are in a position, and on the 76ers' side, Pau Gasol, who has been resting for more than two months, has just returned to serve as the team's substitute, and there are no changes to the starting lineup, which is still Iverson, Saflosa, Iguodala, Millsap and Dareham Porter.
Bulls starting lineup: Derrick Rose, Ben Gordon, John Salmons, Tyrus Thomas, Joakim Noah.
The Bulls want to trade Hinrich, after all, Hinrich is a talented point guard in the 03 session, with an average of 15 points + 6 assists per game in the first two seasons, the market has it, but the price has not been negotiated, and the Bulls have not found a suitable buyer for a season, so Hinrich was squeezed to the bench and led the second echelon to play.
One of the leading figures in the 03rd class in the past, I never thought that I would fall into this situation.
It was Joakim Noah and Dyham Potter who jumped the ball.
In many rumors of grapevine, King Tomorrow was interested in Joakim Noah, but then it was gone, and now Joakim Noah, after two seasons of growth, has become the starting center of the Bulls, averaging 6.7 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game in 24 minutes, just like a typical NBA interior blue-collar worker, similar to Ballam Porter's efficiency.
Jumping the ball, Noah wins.
In the Bulls' first wave of possession, Derrick Rose dribbled across the half court and faced Allen Iverson's defense.
The Bulls' most firepower on the outside right now is still their Ben Gordon, a man who thinks of himself as the sixth man and then often appears in the team's starting lineup, averaging more than 20 points per game, so Wang will arrange for Saflosa to defend Ben Gordon tomorrow.
Facing the big name three, Derrick Rose felt every cell in his body tremble.
He leaned over and stared sharply at Iverson, then dribbled under his crotch and swapped the ball to his left hand.
"Do you want to break through?"
Fans looked at the formation that the Bulls pulled apart, but they didn't expect the Bulls to even take a block.
Derrick Rose swapped his left hand directly into his right hand, the front of his body changed sharply, the soles of his sneakers rubbed violently on the floor, and his body tilted exaggeratedly to an angle, and then suddenly exploded forward speed.
"It's so big, and it's so fast?"
Although he has seen Derrick Rose's breakthrough, Iverson still feels that Rose is a little too fierce, and Iverson has also done this kind of breakthrough, but it is impossible to do it as soon as he comes up.
Wang Mingming's sentence is very good, playing is a combination of virtual and real, fast and slow, and controlling the rhythm is more important than moving forward.
Iverson thought so much that he couldn't hide the fact that he had been passed by Derrick Rose.
Rose was so fast that his jersey floated up, the wind drilled in, the air bulged and the hunt rattled.
"I'm afraid the only thing that can stop him is air resistance!" After the game, Wang Tomorrow said such a classic sentence in response to Derrick Rose's breakthrough.
Rose went inside and Durham Potter let go of Joakim Noah and jumped when he saw the moment.
Rose was locked off the space, but he bent his knees in the air for a long time, his hands raised in the air and a circle drawn in the air, avoiding Durham Potter's defense.
Dareham Potter is also a master of bouncing, watching Rose work in the air.
Before hitting the ground, Rose throws the ball out.
The basketball flies high, hits the board in the air, and falls into the frame.
"Huh!"
Hit these two points lightly.
Rose landed, his knee bent slightly, soaking out all the impact, and he turned his head excitedly, his eyes burning even hotter, he longed for this feeling of breakthrough, he was eager to beat anyone.
Offense and defense turned, and the 76ers attacked.
Iverson was taken out of favor by Rose, and his face was not very passable, and he was determined to teach his juniors another lesson.
So he pocketed out and elbowed the ball.
Although Iverson is short, he is a typical wing player's style of play, after receiving the ball in the elbow area, the three threats hold the ball, and the defending Rose is a little unsure of Iverson's dynamics.
Iverson dribbled to an acceleration and held the ball in his right hand.
The speed of the sudden start was a little worse than the current Rose, but the victory was sudden, Rose reacted a little slower, and his position was slightly awkward.
Rose immediately took a step forward and prepared to chase down Iverson.
But at this moment, Iverson pulled the ball back.
The breakthrough turned out to be just a feint, pulling the ball back, and the whole person jumped lightly, retreating for a mid-range jumper.
Rose just opened his legs and wanted to retract his center of gravity, such an awkward position, he almost didn't sit down, and the whole person stood in place very awkwardly.
Iverson equals no defense and easily hit two points from mid-range.
As soon as it opened, the battle between No. 1 and No. 3 was already white-hot.
