The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 649: : Rekindling?

Derek Rose stood in front of the technical stage, looking at everything familiar to him.

United Center, once he created brilliant place. But now, except for a few fans in the Bulls No. 1 jersey cheering for him, most people no longer care about this dirty braided guard who is about to play.

Due to Oladipo's injury, Brogdon was mentioned in the starting lineup, Henson said these games will give Rose more playing time. In yesterday afternoon's training, Rose's condition was as good as ever.

Since joining the Pacers, Rose has felt his physical condition is very good. Henson can also see this, Rose's competitive form has improved a lot from last season.

It's just that Henson has been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for Rose to find himself. And there is no opponent, more suitable than the Chicago Bulls.

On the court, Antetokounmpo's breakthrough directly caused the Bulls to foul. Rose stood up abruptly. At this time, he was no longer Windy City No. 1, but No. 25 in a corn yellow jersey.

After playing, Rose pointed to Brogdon, indicating that he was playing for him.

Brogdon trot all the way and gave Rose a light high-five. All the cameras in the audience were aimed at this number 25, and the commentator yelled: "Drake Rose is home!"

Yes, the narrator used the word "go home". Everyone pays attention to Rose, just because of feelings, just because he returned to the United Center. However, on the court, few people think that Rose can show performance.

After all, he has been immersed for too long for too long.

Rose has a serious face, unsmiling. The 25th knew that he was not going home, he was here to fight! The former Rose of Chicago has died since he was traded.

"Coach Henson replaced Derek Rose. Maybe he wanted to strengthen his offense. But to be honest, Rose may not be able to meet Coach Henson's requirements."

As the narrator said, Kuzma and P.J. Tucker also appeared at the same time as Rose. They replaced George and Lopez, and the court became a small lineup. If it were not for free throws, Antetokounmpo would have been replaced by Siakam.

At this time, the lineup of the Pacers became Rose, Bogdanovic, Kuzma, Antetokounmpo and Tucker.

Henson's purpose for such a substitution is simple, he wants to see if Rose can score with the right to shoot! If you don't let him score when you come up for Rose, it will be a violent thing!

Antetokounmpo made two free throws and the Pacers were still 2 points behind. The Bulls did not change. It can be seen that the Bulls coach Hoiberg hopes that this young lineup will play for a few more minutes to gain some advantage for the Bulls.

The Bulls' field lineup is still Holiday, Payne, LaVine, Jabari Parker and Wendell Carter. Markanen's injury gave Jabari Parker a chance to prove himself again.

Holiday didn't put Rose in his eyes. He called for a screen and planned to break through the 30-year-old defender whose legs and feet were already unsuccessful.

Yes, unknowingly, the youngest MVP is already 30 years old...

But Justin Holiday never expected that Rose's defense today was extremely tough. As soon as he bypassed the cover, he was brutally blocked by Rose.

When he first entered the league, Rose's defense was not very good, and he relied more on physical fitness to be tough. But nowadays, although Rose's defense is no better than George's top gates, but because of his rich experience, his defense level is definitely above the league average.

Therefore, Justin Holiday did not break through Rose as he wished. As Henson knew, the competitive form of No. 25 is good!

Seeing that he couldn't break through, Holledi thought of passing the ball the first time. But because the Bulls' offensive system is not so perfect, Holiday can't predict where his teammates will stand. Therefore, when passing the ball, you must first find someone before you can play the ball.

But when Holiday was hesitating, the youngest MVP full of eagerness would not hesitate.

He suddenly sprinted forward and then hit the ball! Holiday didn't expect Rose to play so aggressively today. He was not prepared enough to be taken away by Rose from his hands!

"It's a mistake, a steal from Derek Rose! Haha, it seems that at the United Center, Rose is always extremely excited!"

After Rose steals and pushes directly, if it were six or seven years ago, Rose could complete the fast break dunk by himself. But now, Rose's legs and feet are not so fast. Therefore, he had to hit the ball to Antetokounmpo during the march, and hand the task of fast break to taller, faster and stronger young people.

Rose stopped outside the three-point line. He was not in a hurry to get the data, but was willing to stand silently on the outside to make space for Antetokounmpo as much as possible.

From a star to a role player, this season, Rose has also completed such a role change.

Antetokounmpo didn't push up after jumping to the inside because he caught a glimpse of Rose who was in the open position.

On the training ground, Rose's three-point shot made Antetokounmpo impressed. The intensity of Rose's daily extra training also moved Antetokounmpo.

Therefore, the Greeks chose to believe in Rose and chose a teammate who had a better chance.

Rose received the basketball and there was no one around him. Derrick Rose shoots a three-pointer? Come on, does he think he is Stephen Curry?

Justin Holiday didn't even actively make up for it, but slowly approached Rose, as if to let him cast.

Rose held up the basketball and remembered the meeting with Henson this summer.

"Don't underestimate yourself, you are Derek Rose!"

Take off, shoot. Rose's shooting is not soft, but it is more than a little bit better than before.

Antetokounmpo and Tucker stuck in position, ready to scramble for offensive rebounds. But they were disappointed, Antetokounmpo and Tucker did not get rebounds. Because Derrick Rose's long shot made a direct hit!

"Derrick Rose, he scored on his first shot! In a good state, I believe Rose will definitely find his place in the Pacers."

Although he scored the goal, Rose still did not get taken seriously. He is not disabled, but a professional athlete. Is there anything surprising that a professional player scores a goal in a game?

In the eyes of others, this is an ordinary goal. But in Rose's eyes, this goal allowed him to find the confidence and pleasure to score!

Rose's three-pointer helped the Pacers overtake by one point, and the Bulls' offense remained messy. Zach LaVine intends to attack the penalty area, but unfortunately, the dunk king is late for Antetokounmpo's hard hat.

A wonderful dunk performance is not so easy to succeed.

Antetokounmpo gave the ball to Rose, after all, he is the point guard on the court. Justin Holledi had a crooked mind, and he planned to rush to grab the basketball while he wasn't prepared, and was ashamed.

Facing Holiday rushing towards him, Rose did not panic. He turned around lightly, letting Justin Holiday pounce.

The audience burst into cheers, like the one just now. How long have the fans not seen Rose use it on the court?

After Holiday, Rose passed halftime quickly. The Bulls are always a weak team. Although the offensive end can be pumped, the defensive end will expose the fact that they are a weak team.

Rose stared at the basket, but freely delivered the ball to Kuzma, who was following on the right.

Kuzma was one step away from the three-point line when he received the basketball, but because the rhythm was very comfortable, he chose to shoot directly!

LaVine didn't expect Kuzma's shot to be so decisive, so the interference was slow. Therefore, Kuzma was not disturbed too much, three points into the net hollow!

"A shot from outside the three-point line and hit again! The Pacers have scored two consecutive three-pointers, and the point difference has become 5 points! Derrick Rose's pass is very subtle, Justin Holiday can't take it lightly Up."

An assist, a three-pointer, Rose is still looking for his offensive feel. He suddenly felt that his body was extremely brisk, and the sense of sluggishness after the injury seemed to have been thrown away.

After a goal, Wendell Carter missed the inside line. Although he is a center, he is tougher, but he may not be better than Tucker at 1.98 meters.

"Ball!" Tucker heard Rose yell as soon as he grabbed a defensive rebound.

He immediately looked up and found that Rose was raising his right hand.

Seeing this scene, Henson smiled slightly. Rose started asking for the ball, this guy is ready to continue on the court!

Tucker obediently handed the ball to Rose, who immediately began to impact after receiving the ball!

The Bulls' withdrawal discipline is very poor, and many times the players do fall back, but their positions are not accurate.

In this way, Rose easily personally reached the penalty area with the ball. In the end, Zach LaVine had to make up for "wiping his ass."

LaVine guards very tightly. Although he is a junior of the Bulls, he does not intend to give Ross face.

Rose took off suddenly without getting rid of the defense, and then only shot the ball when he glide to a negative angle.

The commentators shook their heads. Did Rose still think this was the United Center in 2008? This ball is too difficult!

But the next second, the basketball crossed LaVine's fingertips into the net! An unreasonable Rose-style goal, performed by Derek Rose himself!

"This... a negative angle stop shot, scoring! Rose scored 5 points when he came on the court. I can see that he is in good shape today. But as long as the Bulls can bite, they should be able to close the point difference."

Rose felt his heartbeat speed up after landing. He was neither nervous nor tired, but too cool!

The goal just now allowed him to find the pleasure of taking the top spot in the wind!

Of course, others are still at a loss. They all thought that Rose just scored two fairy **** in a flash.

Except Henson, he knows that Rose can score goals, not luck!

This MVP doesn't miss his time as an MVP, so today, in this place where he once raised the MVP trophy. He will stubbornly, unwillingly, break the impression of him before!

Henson walked to Siakam, ready to replace Antetokounmpo with him. Next, it's time for Rose's performance!
