I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 157 Thibodeau's Basketball Philosophy
The remainder of the first period ends.

Derrick Rose rarely missed three consecutive shots.

The Mavericks didn't care about Noah and Boozer on the inside, and just guarded the penalty area to attack Rose, which made the new owner of the Windy City very uncomfortable.

The Mavericks also took advantage of the period when Rose was struggling on the offensive end, played a continuous counterattack, recovered the point difference, and overtook it by 2 points, and ended the first quarter 31-29.

"Damn it, are these referees idiots? The Mavericks' insiders live in the penalty area, why don't they blow for three seconds?"

"Tom, you should think of a way! Can you come up with some effective ways, can you get tens of millions of annual salary just by standing on the sidelines?"

"OMG, these guys are targeting Derek too much, but it's okay, in the second quarter, Derek will use his performance to prove that any defense has no effect on him!"

The Bulls fans at the scene were cursing during the intermission. They were a little dissatisfied with the Bulls' performance at the end of the first quarter. Of course, this dissatisfaction was not aimed at Rose, even though the latter was 3-for-0 during that period, but Chicago fans attributed his performance to other factors.

In short, there are various reasons for the blame, but Derrick Rose's choice of shots is not blamed!
In the eyes of the Bulls fans, Rose has always scored goals like this in the past, but if he failed to score today, the responsibility must not be on him.

"I hope you can come up with a tougher defensive attitude to face the Mavericks' offense, so that their offense can no longer be so smooth!"

"Also, Derek, you continued to play in the second quarter, I need you to contribute on the offensive end!"

Thibodeau, who was considered the culprit by Bulls fans, began to arrange tactics. His offensive and defensive arrangements were as always "Tom Thibodeau" style.

With the old generation of head coaches slowly withdrawing from the arena, the league has recently emerged a group of new head coaches this year. The outstanding representatives are naturally Thibodeau and Hollins.

But these two guys have one thing in common, that is, they focus on defense and light offense!

The defensive concept is not bad even compared with the best head coaches in the league at present, but on the offensive end, these two guys don't know anything at all.

As for the offensive concept that they are not good at, the changes made by Thibodeau and Hollins are surprisingly similar, that is, to find a guy who is good at attacking with the ball to solve the problem independently.

Of course, compared to Rose, Randolph's destructive power on the offensive end is obviously much weaker, which also makes the Grizzlies often have other players stand up on the offensive end!
Likewise, it makes Randolph's tactical status less obvious than Rose's.

However, there is actually not much difference between the Grizzlies and the Bulls on the offensive end, they are very single.

In addition, compared to Hollins, Thibodeau's heart is obviously harder. When the team can't start the situation, his first choice is to put Rose on the court, and it doesn't matter how long the latter has played before.

This time, just another time.

……

"To be honest, Derek was great. He made me look a bit embarrassed. In less than 5 minutes, he called two timeouts. However, our guys performed well. They gradually found ways to limit Derek. This gave us some leads. I am satisfied with the expressions of our guys!"

Carlisle accepted the inter-section interview as usual during the inter-section break. He affirmed Rose, and of course gave the Mavericks players greater praise.

At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief, at least in the first 3 minutes of the second quarter, the Bulls will lose one difficult point on the court for him to deal with.

Coupled with the appearance of "Tie Brothers", the Mavericks are likely to continue to widen the score difference until the Bulls take Rose again.

But when the second quarter of the game started, Carlisle was stunned when he saw the guy standing on the court.

Ross has a twin brother?
OMG, this guy didn't take a break and went straight to the field?
Can anyone tell me what Tom is thinking?

Derrick Rose just played for 12 minutes, without a single second of rest in the entire quarter, and it was still a game against the Mavericks, the current No. [-] team in the league, and now...he actually played directly!

Carlisle has also been the head coach for so many years. I really never thought that this game can still be played like this?
Could it be that the Bulls' Gatorade is better than other teams'?

Carlisle had all kinds of thoughts in his mind, but Thibodeau kept a straight face, as if someone owed him much money, and he watched Derrick Rose go straight to the basket after taking the ball, and then hooked to tie the score. His expression did not ease, but became more dignified.

Like those Bulls fans, Thibodeau did not miscalculate the Bulls' reversal in the first quarter on Derrick Rose. In his opinion, if the Bulls players did not prevent the Mavericks from scoring consecutively, they would not have been reversed!

In short, in Thibodeau's heart, he values ​​defense more than offense, and in terms of results, he will also attribute the loss of the game to the fact that the defense is not as good as the opponent!
This is why after Rose scored the equalizing goal, he didn't change his expression at all. His attention was all on the Bulls' defense.

"The offense of the Mavericks, although Dirk is not on the court, but the current lineup of the Mavericks on the court is not inferior to the main lineup of ordinary teams at all on the offensive end!" Kenny Smith appreciates the expressiveness of the Mavericks' bench lineup on the offensive end.

"The current lineup of the Bulls on the field may not be able to stop the offense of the Mavericks!"

"Shh!"

As soon as Kenny Smith finished speaking, Lin Yang and Jason Terry completed the linkage and helped the latter make a mid-range shot, opening the point difference by two points again.

"Damn it, tell me, what the hell are you guys doing on the court, why don't you switch positions?"

Seeing the Mavericks score, Thibodeau exploded all of a sudden, and went straight to the Bulls players on the field.

The Bulls are currently on the field, except for Rose, the rest are Bulls players who have just played. They have only played one round, and now they are yelled at by Thibodeau, and everyone feels a little inexplicable.

Did the head coach quarrel with his wife today?

Why are you so angry?
Rose was the only one who was not affected. Thibodeau's sudden outburst was no surprise to him. Now he was holding the ball in the backcourt, adjusted his breathing as usual, and slowly moved to the frontcourt.

Only this time, he obviously felt that his legs were heavier than before during the march. If the short rest period between the quarters was not counted, he had played continuously for almost 13 minutes. With this intensity, he played continuously for such a long time.

What's more, during this time, Rose alone took on all the output.

In this case, I am afraid that even Michael Jordan, who has an astonishingly low body fat percentage, will feel tired?
Rose was tired, but he didn't look at his teammates. This is the Bulls' attack time. Even if he is tired, he must take responsibility for what he must do.

In the blink of an eye, there was still an exaggerated change of direction that would make people cheer unconsciously. Derrick Rose once again broke through Lin Yang and rushed into the Mavericks' penalty area. Facing Mahinmi, he turned around and put the ball into the basket purely with a big swing relying on his waist and abdomen.

"Wow ah ah ah!"

"Wow!"

"Sigh~"

The bursts of cheers from the audience, the surprised expressions of Kenny Smith and Barkley in the TNT commentary booth, and the gasped expression of Mavericks assistant coach Caleb all showed how shocking this goal was!

"Which other number one can do this? Derrick Rose, he is so strong! Any player who plays against him will be compared to him. Yes, I have to describe Derek in this way. Lin's performance today is still very good. If we look at the technical statistics, we can clearly see that Lin has scored 3 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists, without any turnovers, and completed a steal... But everyone's attention, I believe, whether it's the fans on site or in front of the TV, is paying attention at this moment." It's all on Derek!"

Kenny Smith couldn't restrain his excitement. He couldn't help being excited. From Rose's MVP-level performance until now, the more he knew about this young man, the more he was shocked by this young man. He wanted to describe Derrick Rose as great, even though this young man is only 22 years old now!
But, he is so amazing!
Can't help but cheer for him!
"Damn it, if you only have this ability on the defensive end, then you won't even think about playing in the next game!"

Kenny Smith lamented the greatness of Derrick Rose, while Thibodeau continued to point at other Bulls players on the field and scold their mothers. The Bulls' defensive formation was once again broken up by Lin Yang's organizational running.

Caron Butler succeeded in eating the cake this time. He completed an open shot from outside the three-point line on the right. When the ball went into the basket, he made a gesture of shooting with Gatling, and then pointed at Lin Yang across the air.

It's so easy, is there anything easier than this?

Anyway, Butler thinks it must be gone!
"beep!"

The game is 3 minutes and 20 seconds.

This time the person who called the timeout became Thibodeau. He was extremely dissatisfied with the current defensive situation of the Bulls. He made a large-scale substitution and brought all the Bulls' starters back on the court.

Well... Derrick Rose is still on the court!

"Derek, this is a critical moment to test you, prove to everyone that you have MVP-level strength!"

But this time, Thibodeau did not completely ignore Rose. After arranging the next defensive formation, he gave the latter warm chicken soup.

After taking a sip of chicken soup, the trace of fatigue on Rose's face disappeared immediately, replaced by a touch of determination.

It's not that Thibodeau's words are so inspiring, but that these words are exactly what Rose thinks in his heart. What he has been thinking about this season is to prove that he has the ability to be the MVP of the regular season.

Whenever he needs to prove himself, no matter how tired he is, he will grit his teeth and hold on!

The timeout ended soon, and the Mavericks also made substitutions during the timeout, and Kidd was brought back on the field. Originally, Carlisle only planned to take such a starter, but after seeing all the starters on the opposite side, Carlisle also immediately pulled the other starters on the field.

Both the Mavericks and the Bulls started.

Carlisle's expression is not as solemn as it was at the beginning. Derrick Rose has played for 15 minutes in a row. With such a long playing time, even LeBron James, whose physical fitness is recognized as a historical level, will definitely decline sharply.

Derrick Rose's state this year is very exaggerated, but exaggeration does not mean that he is invincible!
Carlisle has less fear of Derrick Rose on the court now.

The inside double-teaming effect is obvious for Rose, who was in good form in the first quarter, and there is no problem dealing with Derrick Rose, who is not physically fit at the moment!

"Dangdang!"

Rose's goal was interfered with this time.

"Shut up!"

The audience at the scene booed loudly when Derrick Rose returned to the defense, not towards Rose, but because he thought that after rushing so many times, it was time to give two whistles!
Do you just ignore the Son of the Windy City?

Doesn't this performance deserve some special treatment?
There was another reason for the booing. Derrick Rose had an obvious stagger when he landed. In the eyes of these fans, Rose was obviously physically violated in the air. How could he not give a whistle!
Derrick Rose ignored these things. He knew that the reason why he landed unstable was more due to himself, and his physical fitness was really at its limit.

"Shh!"

But turning his head, Nowitzki, who had almost recovered his physical fitness, easily hit a mid-range shot, extending the score to 5 points.

"Fxxk, fxxk!"

Thibodeau no longer knew how to express his inner dissatisfaction, so he could only curse in a low voice.

"Derek, I think, you should pay attention to my position!"

Rose continued to take the ball in the backcourt. The 5-point difference made his face a little ugly. His physical fitness became more and more insufficient. He didn't know how to recover the point difference when he was off the court. It wasn't that he didn't trust his teammates, but that he was used to putting everything on his shoulders.

Only this time, Rose heard the communication between his teammates and him.

Ross turned his head and saw Richard Hamilton, once the "Starting Five Tigers" of the Pistons, and now the veteran of the Windy City.

"Ok!"

Rose nodded. He respected Hamilton very much. After all, this guy and his teammates at that time unexpectedly overturned the luxurious "Lakers F4"!
