Chapter 790 This Is a Coaching Match!
The Chicago Bulls have a very good record in the Eastern Conference this season. With a record of 16 wins and 20 losses, they are ranked seventh after the Cavaliers, Celtics, Heat, Wizards, Magic, Hawks, and even higher than the 76ers, Pistons and Pacers.
Although the records of the four teams, the Bulls, 76ers, Pistons and Pacers, are similar, it is really incredible for a completely rebuilt team to have such a record.
This also made the Bulls head coach Scott Brooks gain a lot of reputation, and also made Derrick Rose gain a lot of reputation.
As a young player who came to the NBA with the name of Little Yes, he was expected to be so high. As long as he can meet the expectations of these people, the benefits he can get are also unquestionable.
Before the start of the season, many coconut fans did not think that Rose deserved the title of Little Yes.
"Chicago's last Little Yes was Ben Gordon!"
"Chicago used a Little Yes plus a bunch of valuable potential players to exchange for another Little Yes. Obviously, this is Jordan's kingdom, but they are so obsessed with Yes!"
Who said that Jordan's kingdom can't be obsessed with Yes?
Jordan himself is obsessed with Larry Bird!
This is the ridicule of many coconut powder and NBA fans to the Chicago Bulls and Rose before the start of the season.
But now, such ridicule has all turned into praise.
Derrick Rose's data is not as good as Beasley, who is averaging 30 points per game among this year's rookies.
Beasley is in the Warriors, and Jerry West forces him to shoot crazy, play crazy singles, and score at least 20 points per game. Now Beasley's average score in the Warriors has reached 29.8, second only to Yes, who is averaging 49 points per game, Iverson, who is averaging 32.5 points per game, Arenas and Anthony, who are averaging 30 points per game, and higher than Kobe, who is averaging 28 points per game!
According to Beasley's current trend of at least 20 shots per game and 25 shots per game, Beasley's average score per game this season will sooner or later exceed 30 points, and he will become the third rookie after Yes and Durant to average 30 points per game, and the second player whose career score has never been less than 20 points.
That is to say, Beasley's playing style is quite honest, and he doesn't like to play fake fouls. Otherwise, with his singles ability, he would not only average 6 free throws per game, but also average more points per game.
According to many fans and experts, Beasley's style on the court is the same as his almost saintly style off the court. They are all good guys with mental cleanliness and players who will never commit fouls.
As a rookie, he can average 29.8 points per game, with a hit rate of 47%, a three-pointer hit rate of 40%, and a free throw hit rate of 77%. This number of points and efficiency is simply terrifying.
With such data, coupled with his excellent reputation and reputation among fans and experts, even if the team's performance is terrible, he can definitely get the title of best rookie in any season.
But in this season, Beasley has never surpassed Rose in the ranking of best rookies.
From this, we can see how incredible the praise Rose has received.
Even many people think that Rose's difficulty in the Bulls is not less than Yes's difficulty in the Supersonics.
In the Supersonics, Yes started from a pile of garbage.
In the Bulls, Rose did not start from a pile of garbage, but from a pile of garbage contracts that others did not want.
It is certain that the players with garbage contracts are stronger than the garbage such as Rondo and Milicic of the Supersonics.
But these players with garbage contracts are not so obedient.
These players who do not obey discipline and have no pursuit can make a team fall into internal friction and internal strife. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is more difficult to lead this team in a sense.
Therefore, it is really not easy for Rose to lead this team to where it is now.
Even Yes is quite appreciative of Rose's achievements in this season.
Look at the starting players of the Bulls standing in front.
Center Ben Wallace, power forward Joakim Noah, small forward Ricky Davis, shooting guard Larry Hughes, point guard Rose, does this lineup feel like a bunch of old cows surrounding a young grass?
The Bulls are not just the starting lineup of these old bulls that other teams don't want. The bench also has Antoine Walker, Mark Blount, Joe Smith, Eric Snow, Wallis Zebiak and other old bulls or old thorns.
Seeing that the garbage contracts that the Heat, Cavaliers, Nets and other teams don't want were packed into the Bulls by Pat Riley, anyone who sees it will sympathize with the Bulls, Rose, and Scott Brooks.
No wonder Scott Brooks is so eager to bring Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu to the Bulls.
If there were no catfishes that could break the ecological environment of the Bulls, even if Rose was great, if the Bulls were left with the decadent thoughts of these old bulls, this team would not have the sunshine it has now.
It can be said that this season's Bulls is a season in which Rose, under the protection of Scott Brooks, Noah, Zhu Fangyu, and Wang Shipeng, strives to break through the haze and move towards the sunshine.
Speaking of which, the Bulls are really miserable this season. However, if the old Bulls suddenly want to play well in the game, the support given to Rose by the old Bulls is still very great.
After all, they are a little old and their contracts are a little rubbish, but they still have the hard power.
I just don't know when they will remember to play an excellent game.
In this game with the Supersonics, some of the veterans of the Bulls still want to play a very, very exciting game.
For example, Ben Wallace.
In the past, when the Bulls were in the Cavaliers, he always said before the game with the Supersonics that he would use his peak strength to beat Yes!
But every time, his team lost miserably when facing Yes.
As the core player of the Pistons in 2004, the powerlessness of the players and coaches of the Pistons in front of Yes really made Ben Wallace speechless and uncomfortable.
When they were glorious together, they really didn't expect that the Pistons would meet such an opponent across time and space.
An opponent who made them lose their reputation!
Larry Brown, Billups, Hamilton, Rasheed and Prince, plus himself, they are really miserable in front of Yes.
This time, he is not surrounded by O'Neal, James, and the three young Bulls.
Now he has no one to rely on. The boss of the team is still a young rookie. Although he is called the little Yes, as Yes's opponent, he is definitely the one who knows Yes best. Rose is far from Yes!
Without support, the team's strength is not as good as Yes's team. This is the first time he has encountered such a situation when he met Yes.
But he still wants to defeat Yes!
Ben Wallace is very low-key in front of Yes.
Even his eyes dare not look at Yes too fiercely and fiercely.
Many people in the league have the habit of beating their chests and stamping their feet, which looks fierce, such as the current Celtics player, who looks fierce, but in fact, he seems like a little lamb to them.
Don't take it personally, Ben Wallace doesn't mean to black anyone.
He just wanted to state a fact. Some people look fierce but are actually sheep, while some people look like sheep and are easy to bully, but are actually incredibly cruel!
In the history of the NBA, there is such a player. As long as you are arrogant in front of him, he will humiliate you and slap you in the face with the things you least want to see, and he almost never misses. No one can pretend to be 13 in front of him. No, except for the strongest defensive player in history, Bruce Bowen, no one can pretend to be 13 in front of him, including him, who was once the strongest defensive player in history, including the former strongest offensive competitor in history, and the former Chosen Son. They all failed to pretend to be 13 in front of this guy!
For this person's cruelty, even if you are his opponent, you must admit that when you stand in front of him, no matter how much you hate him, you can't let him think that you are pretending to be 13 to him, otherwise, you will die miserably!
In the Christmas battle not long ago, James was so high-spirited and arrogant before the game, and he wanted everything, but in the end, he was nailed to the darkest corner of the hell in NBA history by Yes!
From the most glorious to the most miserable.
He didn't want to be the most miserable player.
Even if he really didn't like this guy, he didn't want to be a player who lost his reputation in his later years.
He was about to retire now, so he let go of Yes's oppression of the 2004 Pistons, let go of his obsession with Yes, and spent this period of time before retirement peacefully.
But!
If there was a chance, he would certainly want to take revenge in front of Yes, even if it was the most insignificant victory, even if it was an even more insignificant block!
Now Yes, whose eyes were always on Rose, of course did not notice Ben Wallace's abnormality.
This was the first confrontation between Yes and Rose, his successor, but he had heard of his successor from many people before.
"Master, there is really a young player in NCAA who can match your athletic talent. His name is Derrick Rose, from the University of Memphis!"
"Yes, Derrick Rose from the University of Memphis is really good. The NCAA finals with him really reminded me of you. Russell was completely defeated in front of him!"
"Xiao Ye, this young leader of our team is really good. He has a good personality, is hardworking, down-to-earth, and motivated. He is also your crazy fan. He is just a little delicate and a little shy, but he is really a very good kid. He is also your crazy fan. He comes to us every day to listen to some of your stories. I will introduce you to each other when I have the opportunity."
"Yes, I used to sneer when someone said that someone was your successor, until I met Rose in the Chicago Bulls. Leadership, talent, and personality make him your perfect successor!"
"By the way, Yes, Derrick said he would challenge you in this game. I hope you can let him see the gap between him and you in this game."
...
...
A lot.
Yes really heard a lot about Rose.
He was also quite curious about this young man.
Challenge me, let me show him the gap between us?
Recalling the request Scott Brooks called him before the game, Yes looked at Rose's face, which was an expectant and excited face. Looking at this expectant and excited face, Yes nodded.
"The game started, Milicic easily defeated Ben Wallace and got the first attack of the game!"
"Rondo pushed across half court, Yes received Rondo's pass, and the defensive player in front of Yes was Rose. Yes and Derrick Rose met in the first round!"
The commentator on the sidelines was excited.
The fans on the sidelines were also excited.
And Rose, who had already made all the defensive postures on the court, was also excited!
Standing in front of him was his idol!
It was also his growth template!
At last year's Olympics, he wanted to stand opposite him, but he had no chance. He could only watch Billups and Kobe and others being ravaged by Yes on the bench!
Now, he finally has a chance!
Now, he can finally show his speed, his explosiveness, and the reason why he can become the second Yes that the whole country expects!
"Yes, I'm coming!"
Looking at the Yes who was ready to break through, Rose excitedly bent down and prepared to move sideways.
But!
When Rose was about to take a step sideways, the United Center, which was originally crazy because of the first match between Yes and Rose, was suffocated instantly!
So fast!
On the court, Rose, whose face was still excited and excited, had eyes full of shock and disbelief!
One step over!
He was actually passed by Yes in one step!
His most confident speed and explosiveness, could one day be passed by someone in one step like passing a wooden stake? !
Until a bang was heard!
The whole silent black and white world regained color.
"Bad, is the gap so big?"
Looking at the Sonics No. 9 hanging on the basket with one hand, looking at Rose, Ben Wallace and the Bulls players who seemed to be still on the court, and the Bulls fans on the sidelines.
Barkley and Kenny Smith both had incredible expressions on their faces.
Before the game, they had been hyping up the duel between successors and the fastest first step for so long. Is the gap really that big?
"This is just the first duel, and Yes still has the advantage in offense. It may be different next time!"
Kenny Smith and many Bulls fans are willing to believe this answer, thinking that it will definitely be different next time.
But then, they were soon disappointed!
"Rose's explosion was actually covered by Yes..."
The United Center, which was crazy again, fell into silence again.
"This is the first time I have seen Derrick, who has an invincible speed explosion, so desperate and helpless on the court!"
Scott Brooks on the sidelines felt distressed, but... also very happy.
This is what he wanted.
"Thank you, Yes!"
Scott Brooks looked at the Sonics player on the court who was educating his most beloved disciple on both offense and defense, and his face was full of gratitude.
"This is a coaching game!"
"This is a coaching game between Yes and Rose!"
