One thing to say, Wang Chao didn't expect it at first.

In the first quarter of the game, after coming on as a substitute for Mitchell, Rose did not perform well, scoring only 2 points on 1-of-3 shooting.

But after the game came on in the second quarter, Rose's hand was surprisingly good.

Face Kemba. Walker's defense, Rose first hit a three-pointer from the outside, followed by a mid-range jumper after breaking through with the help of his teammates' pick-and-roll cover, and then successfully made Walker's defensive foul and went to the free throw line to make 2 of 2 free throws.

In just a few minutes, Rose scored 7 points in a row by himself, which was extremely efficient.

Sensing that Rose was in good shape, Wang Chao continued to hand over the ball to the opponent to deal with.

The Hornets also found that Rose's firepower was a bit strong, and Walker seemed to be unable to withstand it, so they changed the guard again, and Oladipo came back to mark Rose.

However, Rose is not Mitchell, who is still a little immature when he plays, he has been in the league for nine years, and his experience is much stronger than that of Oladipo in front of him, and his career height is far higher than that of his opponents.

Rose didn't have the honor of being the youngest MVP in NBA history, but he was selected to the best team that season and ranked second on the MVP list, and his strength at his peak was not compromised in the slightest.

Even if his speed and explosiveness are no longer what they used to be, he can still do it as long as he wants to score!

In the face of Oladipo's more pressing defense, Rose was unhurried and calmly stood at the top arc to direct his teammates to tactical runs.

Subsequently, Wang Chao came to the outside line to cover for Rose.

Wang Chao blocking and dismantling can be described as quite high treatment in the league, after all, as a ball-holding core, as long as he is on the field, 90% of the time Wang Chao is the player who attacks with the ball.

But because of this, when seeing Wang Chao blocking and dismantling, any opponent will be highly nervous.

Especially when he saw that after the blocking, Wang Chao moved directly outside the three-point line, Oladipo did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly followed closely, for fear that after Rose passed the ball back to Wang Chao, the latter fired directly outside the three-point line.

As the all-time three-point king of the NBA, it is the tacit consensus of all teams in the league to resolutely not give Wang Chao a chance to shoot three points in the open position no matter what.

Not to mention Oladipo, even Davis, the thick-eyed brother who was opposite Wang Chao in this game, subconsciously moved a few steps closer to Wang Chao's position when Wang Chao moved after blocking and dismantling.

Rose took advantage of this gap and accelerated towards the basket with the ball.

After discovering that Rose was going to attack with the ball himself, Davis, the thick eyebrow brother, immediately turned around and chased after Rose.

As a player who was selected for the first team and one defense at the same time last season, the thick eyebrows who played as a power forward defended very quickly, and he had the shadow of Garnett, the top defensive player of the year.

But no matter how slow Rose's speed is now, it is still a little faster than a 2.11-meter-tall interior player, and Brother Thick Mei has been half a beat slower in his pace just now because he was worried about Wang Chao.

So Rose quickly rushed to the basket and pulled up the ball to the basket before the big eyebrows caught up with him for a block.

Rose's lever action is almost the same as at his peak, but the speed is far from the same, and the thick eyebrows almost rubbed the basketball with his fingers when Rose shot when he judged correctly, but the difference was a thousand miles, and when he failed to successfully block, he could only watch the basketball wipe the board and fall into the basket steadily.

It was Rose's ninth point in the second quarter.

Looking at Rose, who shook his fist hard to celebrate after landing, and then immediately turned back to defense, for no reason, Wang Chao remembered the screw in the original history, a year later in the Timberwolves slashed 50 points in a single game and returned to the peak moment.

On October 31, 2018, Rose, who joined the Timberwolves with a base salary of 2 million, suddenly broke out without warning in the game between the Timberwolves and the Utah Jazz, shooting 19 of 31 in the game, 4 of 7 three-pointers, 8 of 11 free throws, slashing 50 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, leading the Timberwolves to defeat the Jazz 128-125 and win the game.

After the game, Rose raised his head to the sky and roared, and the scene of tears spilling on the field made many people unforgettable, and Wang Chao before the crossing was also one of them.

Rose belongs to the memory of many post-90s fans, after all, when Rose participated in the draft in 08, even the children born in 1990 were just 18 years old, Rose's career fits the vast majority of post-90s fans, at least for Wang Chao, in his memory, except for highlights, he has not seen the peak of Allen. Iverson plays, in his cognition, Rose is like Iverson in his mind, dashing with the ball to break through, energetic one-foot jumping without a frame and dunking, it's not too handsome!

When Rose dreamed of returning to the top and slashed 50 points in a single game, even a person like him who had not posted on Moments for 10,000 years couldn't help but forward Rose's relevant reports.

And now on the field, looking at Rose, who performed very well in the second quarter, Wang Chao suddenly realized that what should have happened at the end of October 18 in the future may have happened earlier.

It's not surprising that Rose's '17 and '18 years, the only difference was that in the Cavaliers he could only be reduced to a bench bench without the slightest playing time, and in '18 at the Timberwolves, he happened to meet Jeff. Teague is injured and unable to play, and the Timberwolves head coach is still his mentor Tom. Thibodeau.

And now, in the Nuggets, Rose's career trajectory has changed, and in the past two months, he has also enjoyed the buff bonus effect of Wang Chao's sparring potion in the Nuggets, which allows him to maintain a good competitive state and health without having to pay a lot of training.

In this game, Mitchell was sent off early for a foul, which is the right time and place for Rose, as long as he is given a suitable opportunity, he can soar to the sky!

Thinking of this, Wang Chao immediately continued to hand over the ball to Rose to deal with.

Throughout the second quarter, Rose finally shot 4 of 7 and 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 13 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists!

At halftime, Rose's personal data had reached 15 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, and his performance even surpassed the Charlotte trio on the Hornets' side!

The best halftime performance on the Hornets side was Anthony, who had 14 points and 6 rebounds. Davis.

In the past two seasons, the thick eyebrows have indeed come to the explosion and peak of his personal ability, the offensive means are rich and stable, although the strength generally leads to weak offensive ability under the basket, but the advantage of height and arm span allows him to make up for this shortcoming, and now there are not many heavy centers in the league with strong interior power.

In this game, Brother Thick Mei directly faced Wang Chao, while staring at Wang Chao on the defensive end, Wang Chao was also defending him on the offensive end.

As the winner of the past few DPOYs, Wang Chao's defensive ability is undoubted, but the effect of defending Brother Thick Eyebrows in this game is not significant, at least in the first half, he failed to effectively limit the scoring efficiency of Thick Eyebrows.

This is actually not surprising, Wang Chao himself knows that he is better at outside defense and auxiliary defense, after all, there is no limit to the talent of interior players in his natural skills, and if he wants to say it, he is a fighting maniac who strengthens his confrontation ability, and the ruthless iron elbow can be counted.

But Brother Thick Eyebrows' style of play in the face of Wang Chao is very similar to Durant, relying entirely on the advantage of height and arm span, and back-to-back jumpers or face-frame jumpers.

Wang Chao is only 2.06 meters tall after all, compared to Brother Thick Eyebrows, who is more than 2.11 meters tall, and has an arm span of more than 2.3 meters, it is still a little difficult to defend.

Players like Brother Thick Eyebrows and Durant should have been handed over to Gobert to defend, after all, they can only use magic to defeat magic, and those who can defeat talent monsters must also be talent monsters.

However, Gobert's situation in this game was not good, he was fouled three times early, and he was sitting off the court in the second half of the second quarter to watch the excitement.

That's what led to the situation we are in.

But even so, Bushy Eyebrows' score is not as high as Ross's, and his shooting percentage is slightly inferior.

After all, Wang Chao's defense is not muddy after all, and the super bounce combined with the talent interference of the lion's roar still controls the shooting rate of thick eyebrows at about 45%.

Compared to the thick eyebrows, the situation of the other two players of the Charlotte trio is not so good.

Kemba. Walker shot 2-of-7 from the field with a shooting rate of just 28.6 percent, and he was good at breaking through with the ball, and he obviously suffered a big loss against the Nuggets, or Gobert on the Nuggets' interior to be exact.

Gobert's ability to protect the frame is too strong, and Walker's many times with the ball and the frame have been defended by Gobert, but at the home of the Hornets, Walker obviously has the advantage of the home whistle, and Gobert's three defensive fouls, two of which came from Walker.

Walker, who shot 2-of-7 from the field and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line, had seven points, four assists and two turnovers at halftime.

As for Oladipo, he did a perfect job of marking Mitchell in the first half of the game, which can be called a textbook defense, and he directly gave the child the mentality of defense to explode and break the defense on the spot.

But on the offensive end, he played very averagely.

There is no way, the Nuggets' defense is too strong, Gobert is a pillar of optimism on the inside, and there are two highly mobile forward players on the front line, Wang Chao and Tucker, as mobile troops.

Even if the defense of Rose and Murray is generally not a threat, for Oladipo, who is like Walker, whose offensive ability is mainly based on breaking through the frame with the ball, the difficulty of attacking the Nuggets' defense is exaggerated.

However, because of his height much taller than Walker, Oladipo's efficiency was slightly better than Walker's, scoring 11 points on 5-of-12 shooting in the first half.

But in this way, Brother Thick Mei has 14 points, Oladipo has 11 points, and Walker has 7 points, and none of the three has a score and efficiency comparable to Rose, a substitute player from the Nuggets, let alone Wang Chao.

Although in the first half of the game, Wang Chao gave most of the opportunities to Rose, and he didn't shoot very seriously, but he still scored 18 points quietly in the half, 11 points in the first quarter and 7 points in the second quarter.

Relying on the play of the giant superleague and Rose, the Nuggets were plagued by fouls in the first half, Mitchell was sent off, and Gobert also carried three defensive fouls, but still led the Hornets by 11 points on the road 65:54!

It is not surprising that the Nuggets can lead the Hornets, although the Hornets' Charlotte Trio have all grown up and can be called a Big Three combination, but they are still too tender in front of Wang Chao, and it is human nature to lose.

But what they can't understand is why after Mitchell was sent off, Rose was able to step up and score so efficiently?

And the first half seemed to be just a warm-up for Rose.

Rose, who scored 15 points in the first half, continued to play in the third quarter and became the lead point of the Nuggets.

Rose, who found his form in the first two quarters of the game, completely exploded in the third quarter!

9 of 11 shots in a single quarter, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 20 points in a single quarter, and Wang Chao, who scored 11 points in the third quarter, almost swept all the Nuggets' points in the third quarter.

The Hornets were numb.

Originally, in the third quarter of the game, after some adjustments at halftime, Oladipo and Walker both found their form slightly, and Gobert, who committed three fouls, did not dare to make too many moves on the defensive end, and both played well, but the two of them scored together to barely be comparable to Rose alone, and it was even more eclipsed in front of the opponent's 82% shooting rate in a single quarter.

In the third quarter, the score of the two teams was 36:34, and the Hornets not only failed to catch up with the score in the third quarter by taking advantage of Oladipo and Walker's recovery, but lost by 2 more points, and the difference reached 14 points.

Then the game entered the fourth quarter, and a scene that left Hornets fans speechless happened.

Obviously, the 14-point difference is not too big, and the Hornets still have the possibility of turning the tables, but Wang Chao of the Nuggets sat on the bench early, as if he was punching in the third quarter of the game.

The Nuggets' lineup on the court changed to Rose, Murray, Kuzma, Tucker and Gobert.

Who do you look down upon? Do you really think we're going to be able to win against the Nuggets without you?

Under the anger, led by Brother Thick Eyebrows, the three Charlotte Jazzes launched a fierce counterattack against the Nuggets at the same time, especially Brother Thick Eyebrows' offense was the most ferocious, scoring 16 points in 7 of 10 and 2 of 2 free throws in a single quarter.

However, the ferocious Hornets were desperate to find that no matter how desperately they scored, the Nuggets could still fight back immediately, and the player who responded was Rose.

Rose felt really crazy in this game, following the third quarter of the game after 9 of 11 in a single quarter, in the fourth quarter of the game he once again hit a super high shooting rate of 5 of 7, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and another 15 points in a single quarter!

When the game entered the last 3 minutes, even some Hornets fans couldn't help but applaud Rose as they continued to hit the net with the help of his teammates' mid-range pull-and-roll jumpers.

"Well done! Derek! ”

A regular-season win doesn't matter, but it's crucial for a player like Rose, who is young but is already entering the final years of his career!

Wang Chao, who was on the Nuggets' bench, also stood up and applauded Rose.

With that mid-range shot, Rose officially scored his 50th point of the game.

50 points per game! It's a career-high scoring high for Rose, something he hasn't done even in the prime of his life with the Bulls!

As the whistle blew at the end of the game, Rose, as he had been a year later, looked up to the sky and let out his emotions.

Looking at this scene, Wang Chao smiled very happily.

The roses of the former Windy City bloomed again, and it was not in vain that he was willing to be a green leaf in this game, and he left the game early to give up the opportunity to Rose.

Of course, this is more dependent on Rose's own fiery state.

In the fourth quarter of the game, after Wang Chao left the court early, the Nuggets did not have the strongest scoring point, and the pressure on the offensive end was naturally all pressed on Rose, who had become a thorn in the Hornets' side because of the scoring in the first three quarters, was more targeted defensively, but he used his rich experience and fiery hand to turn the Hornets' defense into invisibility one by one, and finally achieved a 50-point achievement in a single game.
