Chapter 50: Roses and Bran
The top two picks in the 2008 draft were so embarrassing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As his name suggests, he is like a "wind rose" - accelerating, passing, pulling up the bar to make layups, and he can flash and move as he wants on the court.
In the 10-11 season, he became the youngest MVP in history, while also leaving behind the famous "Rose Clause". At that time, everyone thought that he would be the next totem of the alliance.
However, the more flowers bloom, the faster they will wither.
12 years, torn anterior cruciate ligament in the left knee; 13 years, torn meniscus in the right knee; In 14 years, the meniscus of the right knee was torn again.
Injury, comeback; Injury again, comeback......
Injuries are like a cold scimitar carving the texture of bones on his body, you only see the infinite scenery of Derek Rose, but you never know that he will hide in a corner, licking his wounds and healing alone, like a person drinking water, knowing whether he is warm or cold.
As the saying goes, he stopped helplessly at the crossroads of years, dragging his thorny legs, and looked back - the radiant self was waving goodbye here, expressionless.
Ahead, there was no road, just a daunting, lonely swamp beach.
No one went.
But how could he be willing to end up indifferent.
Beasley, in addition to superhuman scoring ability, the first thing you think of is that unruly face.
Before he was born again, he was a ruffian living in his own world.
And now, everything will start all over again.
β¦β¦
Backbite!
The referee's whistle blows and the game continues.
The Bulls possessed the ball, Rose played a block and a pick-and-roll with Roel Deng in the middle, and the Heat chose to switch defenses, so Beasley faced Rose directly.
"Do you think you can get over me?" Beasley sneered, "Don't dream about Derek! β
He talks trash in order to disrupt the other party's rhythm, so it is rare for the other party to swear, but if the other party scolds first, he will not hesitate to return the favor and let the other party know what is the essence of swearing.
Rose didn't reply, he focused, shook Beasley's center of gravity with a change of direction, and then broke through to the basket in an instant, and the pull-up layup was deflected.
Thomas picked up the rebound and hit the rebound.
6 to 2.
The Heat attacked, and Wade singled out Ben Gordon one-on-one on the left, forcing a breakaway and finally making a layup with a lost step.
8 to 2.
This move is really too easy to deal with a few rookie insiders of the Bulls!
By the end of the first quarter, the Heat had already pulled the score away, 31-18, and the Bulls couldn't prevent the Heat's offense at all. Wade's breakaway and Beasley's pull-up jump shot were so ruthless that these two weapons were a nightmare for the Bulls!
Rose didn't play well, he made five shots, scored just one, and made three turnovers.
'We've seen Rose struggle a bit on the offensive end, he's only broken through once so far, the rest of the shots are from distance, and I think he lacks the desire to attack. Look at Beasley, this guy had a great hand today, scoring 11 points on 5-of-6 shooting, and the two couldn't be more different. Collins commented
Albert also smiled and said: "I really didn't expect this situation before the game, the main reason is that Rose is playing abnormally, the Bulls lack a backbone, if Rose can grow up, maybe he can wrestle with the Heat!" β
Not long after, the second quarter began.
Wade rested as usual, and the Heat were led by Beasley.
Before the ball could be dispatched, the fans in the American Airlines arena shouted one by one.
"Beasley will definitely be the rookie of the year!"
"We are so grateful to Chicago for not choosing Beasley!"
"Ross is a parallel trader!"
"Come on Beasley, let the stupid Bulls see how wrong they were!"
"John Paxson, do you regret it?"
β¦β¦
Beasley's limelight completely overshadowed Rose, which made the Heat fans excited, and naturally they were upset about Beasley.
The Bulls attacked first, Rose possessed the ball past half court, and he went down to rest halfway through the first quarter, and now Negro replaced him to face the Heat's bench to see if his form would pick up.
The Bulls have a strong bench: former steal king Larry Hughes, Argentine "Chapu" AndrΓ©s Nocioni, French beast Joaquin Noah, and Swiss Army knife Saab Sefrossa.
On paper, it looks a lot stronger than the Heat's bench, but the real strength is not necessarily.
It was Larry Hughes who dominated the offense as he broke through quickly to the free throw line and hit a two-point shot.
31 to 20.
But no one expected that this would be the Bulls' last athletic goal in the first six minutes of the second quarter.
In the rematch, Beasley hit Sefrosa with his back, and he rolled over and scored two points before reaching the penalty area.
33 to 20.
Although Sephorosa defends well, he is a bit short and lacks strength, and it is very difficult to defend against Beasley.
In the next half quarter, the Bulls played a lot of iron, and Noah couldn't even put an empty basket in the basket, and they only scored four points on free throws from Larry Hughes and Nocioni. On the Heat's side, Beasley scored 7 points, and the others combined for 10 points.
50 to 24.
The margin was so big that even if Negro called a timeout, it didn't work, and the Bulls' offense was messed up.
In the second half of the quarter, Wade came on the court, and the Bulls also sent Ben Gordon to replace Rose, so that the two rookies went down to rest.
At halftime, the Heat had an even bigger lead - 65 to 34, a huge 31-point margin that sent the second half into garbage time.
"Dwyan, if nothing goes wrong later, you don't have to go on, let Michael take the fight!" In the locker room, Spo explained to Wade.
Wade nodded at first, but then he frowned again, "Coach, I scored 17 points today, what should I do if I am the scoring champion?" You must know that Kobe Bryant and LeBron are all eyeing them underneath! β
Spo looked up at him, "Do you want to be said to be garbage time swiping data?" Don't worry, I'll allow you to do the same in the next game! β
"Okay!" Wade had no choice but to agree.
Beasley next to him leaned over and said with a cheap smile: "Then I won't be considered garbage time to brush data?" β
"Go, go, you rookie!" Wade pushed him away with an unhappy face, he was worried about the points per game average!
In the second half, Rose suddenly called, and he led the Bulls to set off a wave of counterattacks, but unfortunately because the point difference was too big, it was finally over.
In fact, the Heat still had problems on the defensive end, Rose's speed was too fast, Chalmers couldn't keep up, and it was the aging Margoloyle who was protecting the basket under the basket, so Rose suddenly came to the end, and he scored several difficult layups in a row.
Beasley can only sigh at this guy's style of play, it's really gorgeous.
In the end, the Heat defeated the Bulls with a score of 112-95, and Beasley was elected the best player of the game, he shot 12-of-19 from the field and 8-of-8 from the free throw line, scoring 33 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists, crushing Rose's 14 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists.
At the end of the game, commentator Albert summed it up: "With this game, we don't have to worry about who is the best rookie now, facts speak louder than words, Beasley may already be an All-Star caliber player, and Rose, he still has a lot to learn." β
In fact, Albert is exaggerating, Rose is not in good shape today, and there is a gap in the strength of the two teams, so this kind of performance is also forgivable.
After the game, Beasley took the initiative to hug Rose and was very personable.
Rose left him with only one sentence, "Next time, I will definitely defeat you!" Then he walked to the players' tunnel without looking back.
Beasley looked at his back and pouted, his expression a little helpless.
He suddenly felt that there was a quality in Rose that was familiar, just like his own in his previous life.
The same stubbornness, the same strength.
Ross is mostly praised for his rose-like style of play, but in fact, the most valuable thing about him is persistence, patience, tenacity, and fearlessness.
Beasley, who was in his previous life, never gave up on his dreams.
For the sake of his dreams, he can even do whatever it takes, even if he fails many times and falls many times.
He thought of chaff, a plant that could grow in any soil, resistant to both cold and heat, and not afraid to be trampled. In the wilderness, you sow a seed of it, and it won't be long before it spreads all over the mountains.
Ross is both a dazzling rose and a silent chaff.
The same goes for Beasley.
