Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Rose has performed very well this season, but in fact his performance can be even better and his statistics can be better.

The reason why the data is what it is now is because the team has another boss, and that is shooting guard Ben Gordon.

Ben Gordon is the Bulls' first capable star in the post-Jordan era. As the No. 3 pick in 2004, Ben Gordon had a legendary rookie season.

The Bulls' training of him is strange. He was obviously trained as a core player. The Bulls were obviously bad at that time, but he only started 3 of the 82 games in the season, and his average playing time was only 24.4 minutes per game.

‘On the importance of a reliable coach.’

But in such a short period of time, Ben Gordon was able to score 15.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists. He scored in double figures in the fourth quarter 21 times in a single season. He can be called a late-quarter killer.

The most outrageous thing is that with such performance, he failed to win the Rookie of the Year award, but unexpectedly won the Sixth Man of the Year award. He also became the only player in NBA history to win the Sixth Man of the Year award in his rookie season.

players.

Ben Gordon has very distinct advantages. He has excellent shooting ability and also masters other scoring skills, especially the one-handed three-pointer, which is very beautiful.

After selecting Rose, the team originally hoped that he could have a good chemical reaction with Ben Gordon, but unfortunately, neither Ben Gordon nor Rose could adapt to playing without the ball.

In other words, as long as these two people play together, they will face a situation where one ball is not enough to play with. In many cases, Ben Gordon, as the team's elder, will occupy a lot of the ball, which also indirectly reduces Rose's opportunities to play.

Vinnie DeNagro was also helpless. He had asked Rose to attack more with the ball before, but the effect was not good. Firstly, Rose was a little immature. Secondly, you didn't let Ben Gordon attack when he was on the court.

, then the defensive gap would be too big.

Defense is also the biggest problem that limits Ben Gordon from becoming an All-Star player and a better star. As the team's starting shooting guard, although his official height is 1.91 meters, he is actually only about 1.85 meters tall. Therefore, defense

It is easy to be targeted by the other party.

In addition, Ben Gordon's passing organization ability has also been criticized. In his five seasons in Chicago, he never averaged more than 4 assists per game, and his overall view on the court is relatively narrow.

So it's a pity that Ben Gordon and Rose can't coexist better. 11 less than 2 is the current predicament of the Bulls.

John's intention was to correct Rose. At least in this attack, Vinny DeNagro could only obey. After all, he also felt that Rose was more suitable to be a leader.

But after John left, he still had a murmur in his heart: "What's the use of Ross playing well? You have to let Zuo Li play poorly. You still need professionals."

Vinnie DeNagro beckoned for Noah and Gooden, the inside partners he prepared for Zuo Li.

"The Knicks are about to win the title. In addition to protecting rebounds and covering for Rose, your task is to do your best to block Zuoli's offense. Defend penetration on the outside but not shots. Resolutely double-team inside. You can ignore Randolph.

Or David Lee, but you can’t let Zuo Li open it.”

"understand!"

Noah and Gooden looked at each other. Such a strict defensive strategy must be the treatment that O'Neal only received back then, and then they said in unison: "Understood!"

"Okay." The coach left with satisfaction. Now he should be able to give a report to the general manager.

The two people left behind have different hearts.

Gooden was agitated. He had heard of Zuo Li's name for a long time. It was such an arduous task to defend him, but it made him feel a little sore in his ankle.

Noah, on the other hand, sighed.

Once upon a time, Noah was the number one center in New York. In high school, he was also in the limelight. Although he was beaten by Zuo Li in the first meeting, it did not prevent him from successfully entering the NBA after winning the NCAA championship.

However, it was once difficult to overcome difficulties. The boy who he didn't take seriously at the beginning has now become the Knicks' star and New York's new savior.

Let’s take a look at Zuo Li’s record and statistics.

As well as the terrible number of All-Star votes, even if Noah doesn't admit it, he has to admit that Zuo Li is no longer a player of the same level as him.

He is still working hard to get into the All-Star voting, while Zuo Li is already rushing to start the All-Star game.

Will anyone still compare Zuo Li with him now?

Of course not.

Compared with Zuo Li, in addition to Howard, Dayao, O'Neal, there are also historical superstars like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

And he is now only half the main player and half substitute. At best, he is the backbone of the team, the cornerstone of the team, championship puzzle, reserve star, and the future of the league. At worst, he is a role player, blue-collar worker, league worker, and scapegoat...

This is really a cruel reality.

Five years feels like a lifetime has passed.

"Cheer up! Qiao Jin! You are not an ordinary person!" Noah straightened up.

In this game with the Knicks, he really didn't want to lose, because he wanted to tell people that he was still qualified to stand in front of Zuo Li.

He can become the future of the league!

after one day…

"No, no, no, forget it. If I didn't say anything about the future of the alliance, I would be sick..." Noah lay on the chair with his eyes closed and pretended to be dead.

It's December 10th, eight o'clock in the evening.

The first half of the game between the Bulls and the Knicks has just ended.

In just one hour, Bulls fans went from being full of expectations, to being very excited, to being unable to bear to watch.

Until now, the fans who were still in the stadium only felt...sympathy for the two Bulls insiders!

Yes, that’s sympathy!

There is no need to say much about the start of this game. Zuo Li's jump ball is really amazing now. The outside world is speculating whether he will maintain his undefeated jump ball in a single season. Although this record is useless, it seems

Really fierce.

The Knicks' first goal was scored by Randolph squirming under the basket, because the two Bulls double-teamed Zuo Li according to the coach's arrangement. The gap was too big, and Zuo Li was embarrassed not to pass the ball.

And Rose was responsible for the Bulls' first goal, because Ben Gordon was actually a substitute tonight, and the Bulls also fought hard for Rose.

Rose did not disappoint. To describe his style of play in layman's language, that is: Damn, this shot is unreasonable. I'm going to be blocked. Damn, damn! This pull-up is awesome!

2-2.

However, after the ball, Zuo Li also gave a decisive response. He took a strong step from the top of the arc, pulled back, and turned around with his back.

Gudeng grunted and sat down.

Zuo Li broke in with one step, and Noah didn't rush to defend and watched Zuo Li score an easy layup.

Gooden's prediction before the game came true, he really had ankle pain...

This is not over yet. In the next round, he stood up inside to face the double team, forced out the space, and got a dunk across Noah!

Noah also paid a foul.

Strong 21!

Noah stood messily under the basket, enjoying the aftertaste of being dunked. This scene is very similar to the ball in high school.

Ah, it’s still a familiar recipe, and it’s still a familiar taste.

These two rounds can be called a microcosm of the first half.

Throughout the first half, Zuo Li combined his inside and outside skills to defeat the Bulls inside with one hand, often performing violent performances.

Under the data of 24 points and 9 rebounds in the half, Noah committed 4 fouls in the half...

The Bulls relied entirely on Rose. Rose also carried explosives to the Knicks inside again and again, performing extreme pulling stunts many times!
