Reverse Growth Superstar

A few days ago, the media also blew the Grizzlies' double MVP lineup amazingly.

But seeing Rose starting solo without Link, few people are optimistic about Rose's performance today.

In the past two years, Rose's condition has indeed recovered very well, but people think that at best it is a normal rotation level.

This guy who is ready to retire can stand on the court again, it is already very remarkable.

Relying on Rose to win? That is simply a fantasy.

The Grizzlies' strategy of starting Rose did not cause much disturbance. People believe that this game still depends on how Gobert and Jokic will play.

The game officially began, and Gobert easily won the first strike from Jokic.

I have to say that in the bounce, Jokic really grasped the height so that he couldn't jump out one centimeter.

Donovan Mitchell went straight to the basket after he got the basketball.

Mitchell is not easy to mess with this season. He was selected 13th overall in 2017 and now has an average of 24.2 points per game.

For comparison, the shooting guard who was also selected with the 13th overall pick in 1996 had less than 20 points per game in the third grade.

Mitchell's strength is definitely not to be underestimated, and he is also very excited today.

When Link is absent, Mitchell naturally wants to stage a "Huge Harassment".

Mitchell's attack was very sudden, breaking into the penalty area before the Grizzlies' defensive lineup was formed.

Jeffrey Green caught up quickly, but Mitchell avoided Green's block with a beautiful drawbar in the air for a layup.

Mitchell scored easily. Once he came up, the Jazz wanted to control the game.

"The Utah Jazz will not let the Grizzlies easily today. Mitchell is waiting for the opportunity when Link is not there. Today, no one can suppress him. This is a rare time for Mitchell to release him at the Federal Express Arena. Opportunity."

Although the score was only 2-0, the Grizzlies fans were a little worried about the state the Jazz showed.

Expect the Jazz to win the game because of his bad condition? It seems that there is no such good thing.

After Mitchell scored, the camera gave Link another close-up.

But the picture of Link frowning in people's imagination did not appear. Instead, they saw Link was chatting and laughing with Carter beside him.

Maybe these two guys are talking about going fishing together after retirement...

In short, Link didn't care about the loss just now.

Mitchell also looked up at the close-up of Link's face on the big screen at the scene. The No. 45 guard squeezed his fists.

He wanted to see how long Link could hold it like this!

Although Link said that "I can win even if I'm not in the Grizzlies" is not aimed at the Jazz, but it will make the Jazz players a little unhappy.

The young and energetic Mitchell is one of them.

The last time Link was present, the Jazz won, and this time Link was still so rampant.

Mitchell must let the first person in the league see his strength. He wanted Link to know that he was not an ant.

At this point, Rose has slowly moved the ball towards the Jazz halftime.

Rose didn't control the ball much, but quickly handed it to Jokic, who turned his back to the basket at mid-range.

The moment Jokic got the basketball, Gobert immediately posted it, raising his arm over Jokic's head.

"Sure enough, Jokic is the offensive core of the Grizzlies today!" Kevin Harlan rubbed his hands. Nowadays, in this league, it is difficult to see this traditional five-position matchup.

However, just when everyone thought that Jokic would challenge Gobert's defense with all kinds of old man moves, Jokic casually passed the ball back.

Rose, who cut in from the right side of the three-point line, received the pass and made an easy layup.

2 to 2, the Grizzlies didn't let the Jazz take advantage of it!

"The ball is in, Jokic's pass is as great as ever. But... Rose cuts quickly, and Mudiay can't do anything about him!"

Kevin Harlan was a little surprised, the kind of cooperation just now was a remake of the connection between Jokic and Link!

The Grizzlies won’t really use Ross as Link’s messenger today, will they?

Seeing Rose scored, Link, who was still chatting with Carter just now, stood up and exaggeratedly applauded Rose's goal.

Mudiay looked dumbfounded, Rose's speed just now...a bit fast!

Mitchell was a little helpless, the Jazz left Rubio this summer, which made their number one very empty.

Originally the Jazz wanted to chase Conley, but the Grizzlies did not give up their meritorious point guard.

Therefore, the Jazz have to bite the bullet this year and let Mudiay start first, and then seek a trade to strengthen the No. 1 position in the middle of the season.

Mitchell decided to watch a few more rounds. If Mudiay can't stop Rose, then he will defend that guy himself!

In the second round, Mudiay broke through the ball and intended to assist Bogdanovic with a three-pointer to help the Jazz lead again.

The last time the two sides met, Bogdanovic's three-pointer caused too much trouble for the Grizzlies.

It seems that today, his three-pointer feels still hot.

Iguodala is never the one who could defend James alone. He reacted very promptly, but his legs and feet failed to catch up with Mitchell's pass.

Iguodala's interference was a step slower in the end, and Bogdanovic's goal was created.

For now, the Jazz's offensive is still full of oppression, and they do not intend to leave any respite for the Grizzlies.

It's three points behind, and the Grizzlies are not so easy to equalize the score.

Rose calmly picked up the basketball on the ground and handed it to Jie Michael Green, who was about to serve the baseline.

He reorganized the attack, his eyes firm, as if nothing happened just now.

Rose glanced at Mudiay, he saw only fear and tension in the child.

Ten years ago, who didn't look at Rose like this?

Before Rose waved his hand, Jie Michael Green, who came up from behind, took the initiative to set up a cover for him.

Grizzlies No. 1 used the screen to walk to the right side of the court, but the speed is not fast. He doesn't seem to want to end the offense by himself, but to organize the offense.

Seeing this situation, Mudiay slowed down his pace-he made a fatal mistake.

Seeing Moody's slowing down his speed, Rose, who was slow, suddenly speeded up again!

Mudiay was too late to react, so he was thrown behind by a change in Rose's rhythm.

In the previous few seasons, Rose always deliberately changed his play style and positioning.

He tried to be an off-ball shooter, trying to adapt to this era.

But in the end he discovered that what he is best at is to be himself.

So this season, he will still hit the basket, solving problems with throws and breakthroughs. You can still see Rose's breakthrough without slowing down, and you can see him sending out assists after twisting his body in the air.

Or, like just now, use an emergency stop to throw away your opponent.

Mudiay thought that Rose would not dare to hit the basket, he was wrong.

Rose hit the basket, but Gobert didn't dare to act rashly. He didn't dare to leave Jokic in the middle and long distance.

If Jokic feels the ball and throws it away, it will be able to shoot the ball without jumping.

I dare not let it go!

Therefore, the Jazz can only rely on forward Royce O'Neal, who is only 1.98 meters tall, to block.

But Royce O'Neal, as a failed draft pick, has limited talent.

Although he is a defensive wing, his ability to protect the frame is not outstanding. This guy didn't jump high, and couldn't easily complete the cover.

So in the air, Rose confronted Royce O'Neill without fear.

Rose took the shock of O'Neal, then gently threw the ball to the backboard.

The Grizzlies fell to the bottom line, and at the same time, the referee blew the whistle and the basketball netted.

Derek Rose used his sharp breakthrough to win a three-pointer!

At that moment, Link became the Lakers' "Sackeystone" and waved the towel frantically on the sidelines.

Don't underestimate MVP!

Rose stood up with the support of his teammates, and then stood on the free throw line.

He was still expressionless and very calm.

He doesn't care about the media slandering him before, and he doesn't care about the cheers of the fans.

All he knows is that Link was not there yesterday and he messed up the last ball.

So today, I will do my best to make up for it.

When the MVP is gone ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Super Sixth Man can occasionally replace the MVP.

Rose, with long hair and fluttering hair, took the ball, steadily made a free throw, hit a three-pointer, and the score was evened again!

Mitchell curled his lips, very disappointed.

So he motioned to Mudiay to change defense next round!

He will personally kill the magic of this veteran.

Link looked at Rose's state and was very pleased.

To be honest, Rose is in better shape today than he thought.

At this time, Link suddenly remembered something about Rose.

In the Timberwolves last season, Rose’s resume was somewhat different from the original history.

Will that "deviation" be grafted to the Grizzlies?

Link swallowed, feeling that something big was about to happen.
