The Basketball Court Swordsman

7 points, 2 assists and 1 rebound without errors. This is Derrick Rose's first quarter score.

Since that negative angle drift shot, Rose has assisted Siakam to complete a dunk, and then caused the opponent to make two free throws.

This is all Rose's performance in the first quarter of the game. It looks tepid, but in fact it has shown his excellent state.

Scored during the chaos on the bench, Rose unintentionally also met Henson's needs today. If normal development continues, Ross should have no problem scoring ten points today. But this bunch of "roses" does not seem to be satisfied with it.

After the first quarter, the Pacers led the Bulls by 4 points. The magical state of the Bulls is still there, all kinds of fairy **** are frequently played, so the score is biting. But Henson believes that the Bulls cannot rely on luck to support a whole game!

Therefore, in the second quarter Henson gave the players a very clear order: "Give me a complete score!"

After the start of the second quarter, Henson did not go to Ross for the time being, but continued to use Brogdon. In the face of the Bulls' shrinking defense, Antetokounmpo has twice sent the ball to Brogdon from beyond the three-point line, but this rookie of the best failed to grasp it.

Although the two missed shots did not explain any problems, such offensive firepower could not meet the requirements to open the score.

So, just over three minutes into the second quarter, Henson made a substitution.

"Your task is to score, as you did in the first quarter! The defense that was given to them has been hit hard, understand!?"

With the opportunity of a dead ball, Henson walked in front of Rose, ready to continue to take the "Rose" who was in good condition.

Rose looked at the Chinese coach in front of him and clenched his fists. He didn't answer "I got it" or "Guaranteed to complete the task", but just looked at Henson's eyes and said slowly.

"thank you."

Thank you, Rose thanked Henson for giving himself this opportunity. When the whole world almost abandoned him, this Chinese coach was the only one who remembered and met him personally.

He thanked Henson for not giving up on himself, and then this bouquet of roses took the mission and MVP spirit to step into the court again!

"Derrick Rose came out, he replaced Brogdon! It seems that Coach Henson still wants to increase offensive firepower. But to be honest, Rose is not an excellent shooter. His shooting stability is not comparable to Brogdon. French comparison. Will it really work to get Rose into this lineup?"

The commentators are still skeptical of Rose, after all, a player's performance in just one game does not explain much. Not to mention 7 points in a single quarter, it is a single quarter that cuts 10 points, and there are many examples of poor performance after the result.

They still don't know what they are about to experience. In other words, they have forgotten how much energy Rose has.

In Rose's first offense after coming on the field, he just passed the ball a few times without intending to score. In the end, it was George's breakthrough layup that scored 2 points for the Pacers.

Although he didn't shoot, Rose also found that playing next to George and Antetokounmpo, his defensive pressure was instantly reduced.

Once an MVP-level athlete, Rose is always the one targeted by people. Among other things, Henson has also made targeted arrangements for Rose before. Therefore, Rose is actually used to high-intensity defense.

Just now, due to the rotation time, Rose still bears a lot of pressure, and the Bulls' second team really put the defensive focus on Rose.

But now, everything is different. With George and Antetokounmpo attracting firepower, Rose feels suddenly relaxed! Accustomed to being targeted by the other party, he suddenly became a "little transparency", but instead opened the door to a new world for Rose.

He has a hunch, what he can do today!

Just as Rose was thinking, Paul George taught Penn with a big risk. If it wasn't for the Bulls' serious injury problems, Chris Dunn and others would not be able to play, and it would be impossible for Cameron Payne to start. After all, before this season, Payne's career starts totaled only 15 games.

This is the end when a person does something beyond his ability. From George's point of view, his shot was no different from sending a fake.

"The Bulls have not scored for two consecutive rounds. They don't seem to be as energetic as they were in the first quarter."

While talking, the Pacers' offense went up. The Bulls' defense is still messy, but at least it blocked the penalty area. Therefore, George, who walked in with the ball, split the ball and passed it to Rose.

Rose looked at the front after receiving the ball. At this time, there were no other defensive players in front of him except Justin Holiday. No one made up the defense and didn't delay. In other words, as long as the level of Holiday is passed, Rose can score!

This number 25 smiled slightly, he likes this rhythm best!

Rose made two crotch dribbles outside the three-point line, and then suddenly changed to accelerate! His speed is not as fast as before, but the rhythm changes very suddenly.

At this time, Rose surpassed Holiday by half. But because of the speed degradation, Rose could not continue to open the distance between the two of them. If it were so hard, he would definitely suffer. Don't forget, Justin Holiday is a very good 1-on-1 defensive player.

But there are old ways to play. Rose can't dive into the penalty area and dunk completely. Then he suddenly jumped into the three-second zone, raised the basketball high, and then threw the shot.

Henson smiled. A smart Rose who plays more than just his body will make people recognize him again.

"Derrick Rose throws the shot, is it a bit too reluctant? Bang! In, Rose can score as soon as he plays! 9 points, this is the ninth point Derrick Rose personally scored today. Justin Holiday is too light, he didn't expect Rose to choose to throw."

The points difference continued to be widened, but Rose did not celebrate after scoring, but gritted his teeth and began to retreat!

When he broke through, the wind flicked through his ears. When he jumped to the layup, he could clearly see the defender's expression of consternation.

He likes this feeling so much, he hasn't found it on the basketball court for a long time. Rose is very excited, but his excitement is no longer on the surface. The 30-year-old defender who looks still calm on the outside, the blood in his body has actually begun to churn!

So Rose started his performance without saying a word.

After 30 seconds, Rose took advantage of Antetokounmpo's cover to break through. The Bulls' defensive focus was on Antetokounmpo, who passed the screen, but unexpectedly Rose suddenly started shooting after halfway through.

The mid-range jumper, which is not the way Rose was once good at scoring. In people's inherent impression, Rose is still the monster that only bombs the basket.

But he has already been desperately spurring himself in a corner that people can't see, and has completed the transformation.

Rose took the knife and fell, and the Nets were blown into a splash. Although his score is not as exciting as the dunks of the year, this soft jumper reveals an elegant beauty.

If the former Ross was a special soldier, he violently overturned the opponent's defense. So now Rose is more like a sniper, ending the opponent's life lightly.

Rose scored 11th points, and the performance continued.

In the fifth minute of the second quarter, George's breakthrough allowed Rose to be emptied outside the three-point line again. "India City General" selflessly handed the ball over to the No. 25, Justin Holledi still hesitated to fill the defense, he still did not believe in evil.

As a result, Rose educates him with his second three-pointer tonight. Individual score 14th! Moreover, the half-time game is far from over!

In the sixth minute and twenty seconds, Rose suddenly accelerated after advancing beyond the three-point line, and then withdrew a jumper.

Withdrawal of the jumper, another technical action that shouldn't have appeared on Rose.

This time, Holledi sealed it up in time. But it's a pity that Rose has already played with the touch. This mid-range shot once again went into the net. Before halftime, Rose scored his 16th point!

"Derrick Rose! Goal again! God, who will stop him!" The commentators who dismissed Rose before the game were all in madness.

They seem to have seen the same Rose, but this time, the United Center is no longer his home court!

In the eighth minute of the game, Rose played a false screen with Siakam, who came off the bench, and then broke through the penalty area.

This time, the Bulls finally started to make up the defense, they did not dare to indulge Rose to continue scoring.

But when Robin Lopez took off to block, he found that Rose's layup angle was very tricky. You always think that you can cover basketball, but it is always a little worse.

In this way, Lopez watched Rose's layup fall into the net. With 18 points in halftime, Rose didn't mean to stop at the slightest!

When Rose's layup put the Bulls 10 points behind, Hoiberg couldn't sit still anymore. He called to stop the game, and he also knew that he had to make some targeted defensive settings for Rose. Otherwise, his team will be killed by Rose!

Well, the Chicago Bulls are almost killed by Derek Rose. This sounds so incredible.

Henson stood up with goose bumps, because he had to admit that even he himself didn't expect Rose to play so well.

Henson looked around, as if he had traveled back 8 years ago, back to the season when Rose was omnipotent. But when he saw the corn yellow player on Rose, Henson knew that this was indeed 2018!

Rose left the field, still no joy on his face. He gently high-five with his teammates, and then hug Henson.

I still remember the dream when I was young, like a bunch of flowers that never fade.

Henson intends to give him more playing time and more shooting rights... He believes that this is the opportunity Derek Rose deserves. After all, the half of the game hasn't ended yet, he has already scored nearly 20 points!

Henson did not replace him, but told him to keep attacking. Tonight, it is destined to belong to Derrick Rose.

Keep blooming, Windy City Rose.
