Chapter 27 Summer Joint MVP
It's not the first time Rose has encountered this kind of defense, but other teams haven't done it very well, and the reason for this is that the quality of the summer league players on other teams is so poor that the right tactics have not worked well.
Although the Rockets are not much better, they have a Totoro who is very physical but likes to defend, as long as Totoro does not rush to the first opportunity to make a foul for Rose, then it will be difficult for Ross to rely on his breakthrough to score.
Over there, the Rockets prepared a big gift for Chinchilla, and the Bulls were not unprepared for Totoro.
In view of Totoro's no-ball running position and excellent shooting in the open position, the Bulls have been working the defense and dismantling and rotation to fill the position in the past few days, and it is necessary to make sure that no matter that Asian runs like this, there will be someone in front of him who will stick to him and resolutely not give the opponent a chance to open a large vacancy!
My Neighbor Totoro said that this trick really worked for him, unless he threw a few shots in a row or had a burst of hand today, even if he was a 190 dwarf bean in front of him, he could limit his shooting rate to less than 40%.
But there is one thing that Totoro must be better than Rose, and that is that he is smart enough.
According to reliable research and surveys, among the yellow, black and white races, the black big brother is the simplest and most upright of the people. Most of the black people don't hit the south wall and don't look back, especially those who have become famous as teenagers and have achieved a certain amount of success, they are not very mature in their hearts, but they are not a lot of pride and conceit, they don't think that anyone in that field can beat them, and if there is, they are not in a bad state, and it is definitely not that the other party is better than themselves.
And My Neighbor Totoro is a little self-aware, knowing that he is still a little bad at this stage, so he will definitely not be reckless, so what's wrong with admitting a little cowardice? As long as he wins the final victory, he won't lose a piece of meat anyway, he is not a Virgo nor a paranoid!
So Totoro once again used himself as bait, but this time the bait was a little different from the first time, because the purpose of the Bulls was not to let themselves shoot, but each time only one person was sent to limit themselves, Totoro used the breakthrough to let them know that in fact, the simple and rough breakthrough of the orangutan is still very powerful.
No matter who defends him, no matter how footwork or physique Totoro uses, there is always no player on the Bulls team who can keep up with him within the first three steps.
In fact, his current breakthrough level is at this level, if he dribbles a few more steps, he will drop the ball, but the problem is that the Bulls don't know.......
When they saw Totoro rushing in, they immediately subconsciously made up for it, and Totoro's purpose at this time was achieved, a pass to the person who came to make up for it, and the other person got a chance to shoot.
Although he didn't pick up an assist at times, the effect of disrupting the opposition's defense was evident, and if the Bulls locked him in a chain, the outside could be turned into a sieve by themselves.
The first quarter ended with the score 23:14.
"Is this Chinese so powerful? Can shoot, burst, pass, block, steal, organize, why is he acting so in college? ”
Bulls coach Gornegro on the court is a little incomprehensible, this year they dare to sign Rose with the top pick, it is not because of the scouting report and the media comments, as the head coach, Gornegro still picks a few college games for every rookie player, and Totoro is naturally no exception.
At that time, this Chinese American gave him the feeling that his body was explosive but his shooting was poor, he had almost no independent offensive ability, his defense was good but it was not as against the sky as it is now, and his scoring methods only relied on fast break and empty shooting, which was a lotto show but definitely did not meet the standard of the champion.
Why is it like a different person during this time, is it still possible to take drugs?
However, what Gornegro doesn't know is that Totoro is actually only these two kung fu now, but he has improved himself a little on the basis of the original.
Take the breakthrough as an example, he can only break through 1/3 of the distance now, and he will not be able to control the ball by himself if he breaks farther, so if you want to deal with Totoro's breakthrough, you don't need to make up for it at all, you only need to be caught up by the person who breaks through to stop him again.
But the crux of the problem is that the Bulls players still don't know that the Chinese are only half-baked!
So in the second quarter of the game, it was still spent with My Neighbor Totoro's sudden half-point shot and Rose's non-stop iron playing, and at the end of the half quarter, the Bulls were already 15 points behind the Rockets.
Rose had 15 points, 1 assist and 4 rebounds in the half, while Totoro had 6 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal.
The two players seem to be evenly matched in terms of statistics, but if you look at Rose's shooting percentage of 4-of-10 from 2-pointers, 1-of-5 from three-pointers, and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, you can know that there is nothing to say about the stats.
But on the other side, Totoro killed Rose with an extremely high efficiency of 2 of 4 shots and 2 of 2 free throws!
By the second half, manager Gornegro didn't even let Rose play again.
Of course, this is the dissatisfaction with Rose's extremely cheating performance in the first half, and there are also reasons for the large difference in the score, and there is also the meaning of protecting his disciples.
Losing in a head-to-head conversation, the head coach replacing him is a kind of protection for him, because Rose didn't play in the second half after all, and who knows what the final result will be? This is also the possibility that Champion Lang suddenly broke out and swept away the haze of the first two sections! Maybe he wasn't feeling well in the first two quarters!
Leaving a suspense, fans and close media have more room for explanation, if Rose is allowed to stay on it for the whole game, Rose, who is already unstable, will only perform worse and worse, and will be blown up from beginning to end, but there will be no last fig leaf........
The game ended with the Rockets' four-game winning streak, and after the game, Totoro won the Summer League MVP, which was the first time that Chinese [including Chinese] won the honor of this competition, which is not a big news in the United States.
At the same time, Totoro also entered the first team of the summer league, this honor is also the first case of Chinese [including Chinese], in the United States is also not a small news, in general, Totoro himself successfully completed his professional basketball debut, but also proved that his previous words are true, that is.
Chinese are not necessarily worse than others in the field of basketball, they are fully capable of doing the best!
