Chapter 80 Derrick Rose

How brilliant is Derrick Rose's basketball career? In high school, Rose led the team to win the state championship for two consecutive years:
——When he was a freshman in high school, he averaged 18.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 2.1 steals per game;
——When he was a sophomore in high school, he averaged 19.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 2.4 steals per game;
——In the third year of high school, he averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 2.6 steals per game;
——In the senior season, he averaged 25.2 points, 9.1 rebounds, 8.8 assists, and 3.4 steals per game;

——Leading the team to defeat the No. 28 Oak Hill High School in the United States. This was also the only loss of Oak Hill High School that year. He personally scored 9 points, 8 rebounds and [-] assists!
——In the season when they defended their championship, Rose led the team to an astonishing record of 33 wins and 1 loss.The total record in four years reached 120 wins and 12 losses!
——After entering the University of Memphis, Derrick Rose shined even brighter. He led the team to the NCAA finals as a freshman. As a freshman, Rose was also selected to the best team. He averaged 14.9 points and 4.7 assists and 4.5 rebounds.Rose was also a finalist for the Bob Cousy Award and the John Wooden Award.

Compared with an undrafted pick, Derrick Rose, a rising star who has entered the eyes of North American fans since high school, the No. [-] pick in the NBA, possesses unparalleled speed, tough defense, and pure leadership, is more popular.

Before the upcoming match against the Knicks, many basketball experts were discussing who would win in the encounter between Gatsby and Derrick Rose.

Stephen Smith, a basketball critic who has always been known for his sharp words, predicted: "I think Drake Rose will win this matchup for the following reasons:

First of all, in terms of physical fitness, Derrick Rose is stronger, faster, more explosive, and has a higher bounce. It can almost be said that in terms of physical fitness, Derrick Rose has completely crushed Gatsby;

Secondly, in terms of skills, Gatsby has more advantages in shooting, but under Rose's defense, Gatsby may not have many opportunities to shoot, and Derrick Rose's fast break, breakthrough and mid-range shooting Gatsby may not be able to prevent;
Third, in terms of leadership, Derrick Rose has long proven himself. Rose is considered a pure leader and has become the core of the team as soon as he enters the league. Even if he does not score the most points, his position no one can replace
Finally, in terms of teammates, Rose's teammates can provide more help. The Bulls have Luol Deng, Salmon, Gibson, Noah, Gerald Miller, Hinrich, etc., while the Knicks pull Richews has slipped, David Lee and Gallinari are not capable of creating their own chances, and the rotation is a disaster.

Therefore, in my opinion, it is clear at a glance who will win and who will lose in this game. "Smith didn't think much of Gatesby at all.

Before the game started, the NBA's well-known Goddess reporter Kristen Laidlow relayed Stephen Smith's sharp prediction.

Christine Laidlow has a hot figure. Standing beside Gatsby with a height of 180cm, she does not look petite at all. She looks at Gatsby, a rookie, with a smile. This young man who is about his age has an extraordinary temperament. He has a tall and straight figure, and the high ponytail shows that he has a bunch of NBA players who are not refined.

Gatsby smiled slightly, looking more gentle and elegant. He thought for a while and said, "Smith is quite right."

Christine Laidlaw blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Gatsby.

Gatsby blinked at Kristen Laidlow, too.

Both of them were stunned.

Kristin Laidlow: "That's it?"

Gatsby: "That's it."

Kristen Laidlow: "Can you say more? Like rebut Smith?"

Gatsby raised his head and looked at the crowds arriving at Madison Square Garden. His long ponytail swayed. He thought for a while and said:
"I used to be a Hollywood actor, and I was also nominated for an Oscar, but this is an honor in another field and has nothing to do with basketball honors.

I say this not to show off my past, but to show that if I had the experience of playing basketball in high school and college, I would be the No. [-] pick this year.

But those are in the past. We should base ourselves on the present and look forward to the future. I will strive to get the best rookie this year.

As for the matchup with Derrick Rose tonight, I don’t think it is the key. The key is whether our team can win or not. This is the most important thing. As for the individual performance, I don’t think it is very important. What matters is the team's win, isn't it? ..."

Christian Laidlow smiled, stared at Gatsby with beautiful eyes, and was about to say something when Gatsby raised his hand and said, "Okay, I'm done talking about the scene, and I have something to say next." I want to say to Smith... Stephen, you are optimistic about how I play tonight, I hope my performance will not let you hope!"

After Gatsby finished speaking, he saw Christine Laidlow staring at him dumbfounded, and he smiled shyly: "Goodbye, Christine!" Then he turned and left.

Christine covered her thumping big white rabbit, and whispered in her mouth: "My mother's girlish heart is going to explode! He is still shy, are all Asian men so restrained?"

When Gatsby was warming up, he looked at Derrick Rose on the opposite side. Rose warmed up meticulously and was taciturn. Rose has always been more reserved, similar to Leonard and DeRozan. Gatsby shook his head, for this genius. Feeling sorry.

The brilliant first quarter, the sad second and third quarters, and I don't know if there will be a fourth quarter. This is Derrick Rose's career.

The game officially begins.

The current head coach of the Bulls is Vinnie DeNagro. DeNagro took over the Bulls last season and achieved a 50% winning rate in the first season. Next season he moved to the Los Angeles Clippers. During his five years as coach, he His career winning percentage reached 5% and he entered the playoffs in 53.3 years.

But the winning rate in the playoffs is only 34.5%, which may be the reason why no team invited him to be the coach after the 12-13 season.

The Chicago Bulls' starting lineup is: Derrick Rose, Luol Deng, John Salmons, Taj Gibson, and Joakim Noah.

The starting lineup for the Knicks is: Gatsby, Danilo Gallinari, David Lee, Larry Hughes and Wilson Chandler.

Joakim Noah and David Lee jumped the ball in the middle circle. Noah got the ball first for the Bulls and gave the ball to Derrick Rose. Rose caught the ball and dribbled it quickly across half court.
