Chapter 287: The Rose Blooms
In the entire third quarter, Sun Xiaotian played the whole quarter, and he was full of firepower in a single quarter, and he scored 17 points alone, and the Bulls were able to 79-80 at the end of the third quarter, only one point behind the Spurs, and the two teams were almost on the same running line again.

"I don't dare to speculate whether the Spurs' strategy is suitable or not, but they did not prevent Sun Xiaotian, even if they did a good job of cutting off Sun Xiaotian's connection with his teammates, but you must know that although the basketball game is five people, there are simply too many examples of defeating a team, not to mention that as an MVP hit, you are deliberately digging a hole for yourself by letting him go like this?"
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Sun Xiaotian rested off the court. Rose led Dunleavy, Snell, Mirotic and Gibson in the fight. This is the rotation method that Coach Thibodeau has tried in the last few games. Because Sun Xiaotian and Rose are both players who need to hold the ball to give full play to their maximum energy, and both of them are talented people in organizing attacks. Therefore, Thibodeau will replace Rose in the last three minutes of the first and third quarters, often letting Sun Xiaotian play the first and third quarters, and the second and fourth quarters often let Rose lead the bench and other big work.
Rose controlled the ball from the outside, and Dunleavy took advantage of Mirotic's off-ball cover to get the ball from the left side, but Mirotic didn't go to the basket after dismantling, but retreated to the bottom left corner. Just when the Spurs were attracted to Dunleavy on the outside (after all, his three-point shooting rate this season exceeded 45%), Rose changed direction at the top of the arc, was extremely fast, and passed Mills directly, and when he jumped up to the basket, he folded his empty body, changed the posture of the layup, and sent the ball to the bottom left corner of Mirotic, who received the ball and shot directly, and the shooting space was extremely comfortable.
"Huh!"
The ball goes into the net!
The Spurs took advantage of Ginobili and Mills' air-cut combination to score two points.
For Rose, his physical condition this season has been fantastic. In fact, the main reason is that his psychological state is very well adjusted, and after such a long period of recuperation, he has successfully overcome the psychological shadow caused by the injury.
With the help of Mirotic's cover, the Spurs did not dare to rush to flank Rose because they were afraid of Mirotic's outside projection ability. In the face of Baines' defense on the inside, Rose dodged and successfully mobilized the attention of the three Spurs.
"Smack!" Rose suddenly hit the ground, and it was through Baines's crotch, directly to Snell who quickly cut into the basket. Snell stuck to Ginobili and wanted to go to the basket, but Ginobili was such a chicken thief!
Snell was physical, young and strong, but inexperienced. Under the interference of Ginobili, Snell's close layup did not go up.
But Rose "poofed" the rebound on top of Baines' head and took the rebound into his arms, and then strengthened himself in front of Baines's body. Baines is also a little embarrassed, and splitting his head and covering his face is a heavy pressure.
"Ahh
Rose screamed, but his body was almost turned away from Baines, and he threw it behind him.
"Huh!" The ball miraculously went into the net!
"Good shot! This goal fully proves that Rose's physical fitness is still so good, and the serious injury has not left too many traces on him. ”
After scoring successfully, Rose spread his hands and gestured to the referee, "Hey! And that's not blowing fouls! It's on our home turf! ”
Before Rose finished speaking, Green had already rushed to the Bulls halfcourt, and Ginobili, who sent the throw-in, made a long pass, wanting to beat the Bulls with an unstable foothold.
"It's too easy to think about this way!" I saw Snell follow Green closely, and when the ball fell, he jumped high in the air to intercept the ball.
With a flick, the ball flew precisely into the hands of Rose, who was still in the Spurs half.
After receiving the ball, Rose suddenly accelerated in the face of Mills, and then stopped under the crotch to change hands, and should have a left hand to hold the ball, and accelerated twice. Mills couldn't react and fell straight to the ground.
"Whew!" There was a burst of exclamations from the United Center.
Rose didn't think much of it when he saw the situation, and he reached the basket in two steps, holding the ball with both hands, and the ball almost touched the back of his head. Then use all your strength, and buckle like thunder!
The Bulls bench was boiling all at once, and everyone couldn't believe their eyes, looking at the big screen and waiting for the replay.
I saw that Rose's jumping height was almost flat-framed, and after Sun Xiaotian saw it, he hugged Butler on the side and made a move that he didn't dare to look at, and he was also stunned by Rose's dunk.
The Spurs hurriedly called a timeout.
In these few rounds, Sun Xiaotian was not on the court, and Rose supported the Bulls alone, which made people think of his peak season.
All the fans at the United Center stood up and paid tribute to their pride with the biggest cheers.
Some say God played a big joke on Rose, who was out for the rest of the season after he became the NBA's youngest MVP winner and made a name for himself in the 2012 playoffs after playing only one game and retiring from the line due to a severe tear in the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
Maybe he became famous too early, and God tried this MVP, and he threw this proud son of heaven from the sky to the mortal world. When he wanted to get up again from the mortal world, God did not forget to give him a kick, or even two. This time, instead of letting him stay in the mortal world, he was directly sent to hell. In 2013, just after Rose returned to 10 games, he was reimbursed for another season with a meniscus injury in his right knee until he finally returned healthy this year. After two seasons of Rose away from the court, God knows how much pressure he was under that ordinary people couldn't handle.
Anyone who has been injured knows it, including Sun Xiaotian, that the road to recovery is long and dull, and your efforts may not even bring you an effective rehabilitation effect. And how difficult is it to compete in the world's highest level competition after a serious injury, and how much determination and hard work does a player have to do it? In addition to physical stress, there is also a certain amount of mental stress. Ross has to face, in addition to boring rehabilitation training, as well as the outside world, and even his own doubts about himself. From the son of Windy City to the shame of Windy City, Rose has to bear it one by one. Even he may even question: Will I be able to play at a high level after recovery?
So far this season, Rose's performance has not been perfect, but his average of 17+ per game has surprised us. (To be continued.) )
