The opening three-pointer in basketball

Chicago was a famous industrial city in the United States in the 1980s and 1990s.

This place used to be very prosperous.

However, in the new century, the beautiful country is deindustrializing and building a financial country, and Chicago's industries are relocating on a large scale.

The city declined rapidly.

At one time, some homeless people even occupied the city center, and ordinary people moved away one after another. Many experts predicted that Chicago would quickly fall from a beautiful first-tier city to an eighteenth-tier city.

But Chicago finally proved that they are different from ordinary cities.

Even though they were disliked by the vast majority of people, they still survived in the end.

Although Chicago is not as prosperous as it was in the 1980s and 1990s, it is still one of the top 20 most beautiful cities in the country.

Slowly, some industries began to grow locally.

The fate of the Bulls and the city of Chicago seems to be similar.

The Bulls were also brilliant in the 1990s, and then entered the new century and quickly declined.

In recent years, the Bulls have gradually grown up and regained some of their past glory.

The most important person among them is naturally Ross.

This famous fast horse in the league has an explosive playing style and is very popular among young people. Many young people regard Rose as their new idol.

Rose has lived up to expectations. He has always worked very hard. Under his leadership, the Bulls have gradually shown their potential as a strong team.

Many people feel that the Bulls' future should not be to challenge the Heat, but to compete for the championship.

This is the sentiment of Chicago fans.

As people who have witnessed Jordan's two and three consecutive championships, they look down upon the behavior of the Heat's Big Three team members.

In the eyes of Bulls fans, Rose leading the Bulls to a championship is the best way to rise.

Instead of signing up for a group tour, or throwing money around to find people.

Rose has performed very well this season, currently averaging 26 points, seven assists, and 1.6 steals per game.

He led the Bulls to become the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference.

Since one month into the season, Rose has been the first player in the MVP rankings.

Generally speaking, James is the second person in the MVP rankings.

Originally, the Bulls were a little worried about James, even though they looked down on James, he could still compete for MVP despite the Heat's Big Three.

But I have to say that James is very strong personally. This season, James averaged 28 points per game.

In addition, James has a very good relationship with media reporters.

James has a great advantage in this regard.

Everyone was originally afraid that James would threaten Rose in the end, but they didn't expect that at the last moment, the person who threatened Rose would be Bai Yi.

The latest MVP rankings have come out. Rose received 27% of the votes and is still No. 1 in the MVP rankings.

The second-ranked person was Bai Yi, who received 25% of the votes.

James ranked third, receiving 20% ​​of the votes.

These three people are in the first tier, and those who follow up all have single-digit support rates.

Now that we have entered April, the MVP rankings will be updated twice.

Judging from the votes, James basically has no chance after the Heat lost to the Celtics.

Now only Rose and Bai Yi are left to compete.

The Timberwolves will also play a game with the Bulls.

But in general, in the last seven rounds, the Bulls have a better schedule, and they are only a strong enemy of the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves also have three opponents: the Lakers, Bulls, and Grizzlies.

If nothing else, the battle between the Bulls and Timberwolves is very important and will definitely affect the final battle between Bai Yi and Rose.

Ross was also very nervous about this man.

After all, he can be regarded as the new generation of the league.

Players of his age group, including Durant, Westbrook, and Harden, have never touched the MVP.

For example, Durant, although he has the scoring title, he obviously does not know how to play team basketball and he does not understand how to lead a team at all.

Ross is different, he thinks more and is smarter.

Rose understood the importance of the team earlier, so he is one step closer to the MVP.

Once Rose wins the MVP, he will directly open the gap with Durant, Westbrook and others, and he can chase James.

By then, his commercial influence and popularity will be greatly enhanced.

Rose's team has estimated that if he wins the MVP, it will only make him an extra $10 million per year.

This is no small amount of money.

Rose will naturally not be unmoved.

Rose couldn't help but pay attention to the last game between the Timberwolves and Celtics.

He actually hoped that the Celtics could win the game.

But unfortunately, the Celtics lost in the end.

Ross was also helpless.

Fortunately, the Timberwolves have to play the Grizzlies, Lakers, and Bulls next.

The Timberwolves are more expensive. If the Timberwolves and the Bulls face off in the end, he can lead the team to win the game.

Then the regular season mvp should be close to ten.

Thibodeau and others are very familiar with Rose's situation.

Thibodeau often puts pressure on Rose.

He kept telling Ross about Bai Yi's strength and told Ross that he must tighten his nerves and strive to win with all his strength.

Only in this way can he compete with Bai Yi, otherwise, Rose will be surpassed by Bai Yi.

In addition, the Bulls club also fully supports Rose.

The Bulls are an old club, and their connections in the league far exceed those of young clubs like the Timberwolves.

They know more club executives and people in the media.

As far as fans and media are concerned, Rose actually has a greater advantage.

Of course, it's still the same sentence. If you win the game, everything is easy. If you lose the game directly.

The Bulls have lost two games to the Timberwolves this season, and reporters will feel embarrassed trying to defend them.

So strength still matters.

Ross naturally understands this truth.

He has made up his mind to recuperate in the past few days, all for the game between the Timberwolves and the Bulls.

He wants to have a breakthrough like Garnett.

Rose has been practicing three-point shooting in the past six months, and now his three-point shooting percentage has reached 37%, reaching the league's passing level.

For a breakthrough player like him, this is actually pretty good.

Ross was also very excited.

If you give him a few open opportunities, he can surely seize them.

However, in the game against the Timberwolves, Rose felt panicked when he thought of Bai Yi's terrifying scoring power.

I scored 81 points in the last game, which was really scary.

Rose never thought Bai Yi could score such a high score.

He thought Bai Yi's limit should be over sixty points, but he didn't expect it to be over eighty points.

Bai Yi has caught up with Kobe and is second only to Chamberlain.

Rose knew very well that he would never be able to score that high.

But he also has his advantages, he is conscientious, he understands the essence of team basketball, and he believes that he can drive the entire team, just like he led the Bulls to defeat the Heat's Big Three this season.
