Chapter 109: Rose Erupted
Chapter 109: Rose who broke out
In the opening game, the Bulls won the ball, and the ball passed to Rose in the backcourt, who was firmly in control.
Li Shihao did not dare to relax his vigilance, and in the face of Derrick Rose's attack with the ball, he did not dare to slack off.
The opponent is the existence that blew him up in the NCAA at the beginning, even if Li Shihao now thinks that he has improved a lot compared to the beginning, he does not dare to underestimate this strong opponent.
Rose has already spent his rookie season in the league, and at a young age he has already shown his grandeur, and in Chicago, there is no one who does not know his name, and the nickname "Windy City Rose" is widely known.
Over the course of a season, Rose has adapted to the league, managed to survive, and improved even more from his college days.
Since Li Shihao entered the alliance, he has never played against Rose, and he has not personally experienced Rose's change of direction and breakthrough.
And Curry's Golden State Warriors have already played against Rose, and Curry rarely had the opportunity to start in that game, but Derrick Rose couldn't prevent it in the face of being in good shape.
The consequence of not being able to restrain Derrick Rose is that the Bulls blossomed across the board, and many points broke out one after another, leading by a large score.
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, the leadership of the team hangs in the air, and Monta Ellis is now the boss of the Golden State Warriors, so he naturally controls a lot of ball possession.
Head coach Nelson Sr.'s intentions to draft Curry in the summer, Montaelis knew very well that no complaints were fake.
After the collapse of the crazy Warriors, Nelson Sr. gave up the idea of winning the championship with the current roster and was determined to rebuild the team, and Curry was the future leader in the eyes of head coach Nelson Sr.
The replacement of the old and the new will naturally cause a change within the team, and although it has not yet exploded, Curry has already felt the hidden undercurrent.
When the confrontation with Rose was blown up, Curry naturally thought about finding it back on the offensive end, but when Montaelis asked for the ball in Curry, he did not give him the ball, but said coldly: "Rookie, pay attention to your positioning, do your defensive work!" ”
In that game, Curry's 10 points and 4 rebounds were really shabby, the defensive end couldn't limit Derrick Rose, and the offensive end couldn't get enough balls, Curry suffered a lot in that game.
He only made two three-pointers in the game, and he grabbed a defensive rebound and made a three-point shot from distance.
That night's game was a little late in Minnesota's time zone, but because of his friend Curry, Li Shihao still stayed up late to watch that game.
For Ross's strength, Li Shihao has a more sober and intuitive understanding, and the powerful change of direction breakthrough is really incredible.
Rose's breakthrough skills are not only a combination of speed and technology, as one of only a few point guards in the history of the league's draft, Rose's physical fitness is also terrifying, and his excellent physical strength allows him to face many of the league's No. 2 positions known for their strength.
What happens when speed, power, and skill come together? Li Shihao didn't understand it before, but he understands it now, Derrick Ross is such a combination.
In the No. 1 position, Rose is now a BUG-like existence and can't defend at all.
Rose forced a breakthrough in the face of Li Shihao's defense at the beginning, and smashed into the basket like a gust of wind and made a layup.
The swift and strong breakthrough made Li Shihao have no room to parry.
There is no shortage of breakthrough players in the league, Iverson, Chris Paul, and Wade are all good players, and they all have great experience in breaking through.
Iverson is the perfect combination of speed and skill, but not too strong in terms of strength, and his opponents are often easily deceived by his deceptive few changes.
Chris Paul's breakthrough strength lies in his sense of rhythm, excellent rhythm and superb ball control skills, can easily play defensive players, and there are many players in the league who are played by him.
Wade's breakthrough was a lightning-fast first step, and when he won four games in a row almost single-handedly in the 06 finals, he shocked many people.
But Rose's breakthrough strength lies in his control of his body, as the top pick in the '08 draft, his exposure is huge, and there are many veterans and famous guards in the league who try to teach Rose a good lesson when he is still a rookie, so as to win the favor of management and media attention.
But the results were mostly unanimous, and Derrick Rose, who was still in his rookie season, managed to play the veterans who tried to teach him a lesson.
Many superstars in the league have publicly praised Rose's breakthrough skills, and many retired basketball celebrities have pointed out that Derrick Rose is the best player in the new generation of players in the league to use this breakthrough technology.
Derrick Rose intended to compete with Li Shihao, and showed a strong desire to attack at the beginning, and in the first quarter, he held the ball several times in a row to hit the basket and scored layups.
But Li Shihao didn't respond at all, on the contrary, his shooting on the outside was very decisive, and he hit two three-pointers in a row in the first quarter of the game, increasing the number of long-range shots.
The Timberwolves were tied with the Chicago Bulls in the first quarter, and the two teams were deadlocked.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Bulls have put a lot of ball possession in the hands of Derrick Rose, and the young leader has a lot of strong baskets tonight, and the offensive rhythm of the rest of the Bulls players has obviously been affected.
Starters like Hinrich and Noah have had a lot of iron hitting, and Rose obviously didn't notice this.
"Bruce, what are you afraid of? I'd love to fight you and unleash all your assault weapons, I want to see how much you've improved? Derrick Rose couldn't get a positive response from Li Shihao, and he was a little anxious in his heart, so he couldn't help but speak.
He repeatedly provoked the Timberwolves' defense tonight, and he was all over the inside and outside, but Li Shihao still looked indifferent, and rarely saw him break through into the Bulls restricted area to score, on the contrary, the projection on the outside line increased greatly, and he became a jump shooting master, firing frequently on the outside.
Derrick Rose was a little annoyed, originally there were some heroes who cherished heroes, but after seeing Li Shihao's "weak and incompetent" way of playing, the anger in his heart couldn't be contained.
Rose began to explode tonight, frequently breaking through the Timberwolves' defense, holding the ball and attacking strongly, and his hand was also hot, scoring 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting at halftime, including two key three-pointers, and also made a foul on Lefou, who was defending inside.
The Timberwolves' scoring data is very average, with Lefu and Marc Gasol on the inside getting plenty of space and successful singles, and Ryan Gomez on the outside also hit two shots and scored 5 points easily.
