I'm really not a brush in basketball

Chapter 38 038. Rose: I am the boss of the team (please recommend)

Compared with the balanced strength of the Spartans, the Longhorns, like the Tigers, have the genes of a strong team with talented players.

Last season, the top star of the Longhorns was Shubao Du, and this season has become a honey-juice-confident DJ Augustin.

Since the bet with Shaquille O'Neal, Charles Barkley has been silently watching the game between UCLA and the Tigers.

If you just look at the statistics, the performances of Russell Westbrook and Chen Long are comparable, but after watching the game, Barkley realized that Chen Long's comprehensiveness is surprising.

"Barkley, the league should have awarded the regular season MVP to Jordan or Olajuwon, so you don't have to worry about losing it." Kenny Smith joked on the show.

"Kenny, please, the outcome has not yet been announced. Chen Long's performance is indeed good, but in terms of overall strength, the Longhorn team is no less." Barkley silently prayed that the Longhorn team could eliminate the Tigers. Otherwise, I will capsize twice in the same gutter.

"Are you kidding me? DJ Augustin is a good guard, but this year's NCAA is the golden age of guards. Look at Augustin's opponents. Derrick Rose of the Tigers, Chalmers of Kansas, Stephen Curry of Davis, North Carolina Which one is worse than Augustin, Lawson in UCLA or Westbrook in UCLA? Especially Rose, that's Derrick Rose!"

Kenny Smith firmly believes that Rose can beat Beasley to become the No. 2008 pick in [-].

"And the Tigers also have the Chinese dragon Chen Long, the scoring maniac CD Roberts, and the shot-blocking master Joey Dorsey."

"Just look at the betting, the Tigers are more than twice as likely as the Longhorns."

Kenny Smith turned on the continuous shooting mode. He is not a Tigers fan at all, but if he can embarrass Chakra, why not do it.

Barkley's expression is indeed very depressed. If Kevin Durant hadn't hastily ended his freshman season and ran to the draft, the Longhorns might still have a chance to be upset. Now, their chances of winning are very low.

On the other hand, Supersonics star Kevin Durant also said in an interview, "I have been paying attention to DJ Augustin's game. He is a talented guard. After a year of running-in, I believe he will be able to Led the Longhorns to victory over the Memphis Tigers."

TNT, ABS, ESPN, FOX and local Houston sports channels all simulcast the Elite Eight matchup between the Memphis Tigers and the University of Texas Longhorns.

"Longhorns seem to be crazy about No. 14."

Derrick Rose looked at the very flamboyant DJ Augustine coldly.

"A dog that can bark won't bite."

Chen Long tightened his shoelaces and followed Rose into the court.

After two days of training, Chen Long's upper body and lower body strength increased by another 10 points, which made him sprint faster and control his body better when shooting.

The starters for the Longhorns are guard DJ Augustin, shooting guard AJ Abrams, small forward Justin Mason, power forward Damien James and center Connor Archeri!

The Tigers' starting five are still Chen Long, Rose, CD Roberts, Joey Dorsey and Robert Dozier.

Before the start of the game, the coaches of the two sides did not pretend to exchange pleasantries.

John Cariappa watched the reporter's interview about Augustine, and now he has restrained himself from giving Rick Barnes the middle finger.

The referee's whistle blew, and Conor Acerli jumped to first down for the Longhorns.

Augustine dribbled to the high post and directed Damien James to pick and roll himself.

Derrick Rose is blocked by Damien's wide ass.

Joey Dorsey didn't defend closely, and Augustine got a half-step open opportunity to make a decisive three-point shot. With a swipe, the basketball went into the net hollowly, and the Longhorns got the three-pointer first.

"Don't lose your position!" John Cariapa reminded Joey Dorsey not to give a player like Augustin an open shot.

Rose broke into the penalty area with the ball, and center Connor Achelli moved to defend in a timely manner. Rose had no chance to rush to the bottom line and had to pass the ball to CD Roberts.

Abrams raised his hand to prevent Roberts from throwing a cold arrow.

I saw Chen Long running behind Roberts, and the two exchanged hands. Chen Long dribbled two more steps, and then pulled out his hand near the corner of the weak side. The basketball drew a wonderful arc in the air The line was hollowed into the frame, and a three-pointer was returned!
This time it was replaced by Rick Barnes yelling at his shooting guard Abrams and small forward Justin Mason, "Pay attention to the defense! Don't miss anyone!"

Augustine gave Chen Long a blank look, and then challenged Ross, "Who is the boss of your team, you or the Chinese boy?"

Derrick Rose stared at Augustine with no intention of responding.

After changing sides to fight again, Augustine tried to break through Rose with a Crossover, but he immediately found that his fake moves were useless against Rose.

Unlike the second-rate guards of the Spartans, Augustine didn't stick to strong shots, but calmly made false shots and made real shots. He stepped back and made a three-pointer. The basketball stumbled into the basket, and DJ took another three-pointer!

Seeing Augustine deliberately spread his hands in apologetic look during the return visit, Ross was angry.

Rose signaled the team to pull out, and he singled Augustine in the high position.

This time, Rose used the killer Crossover!

Derrick Rose shook his head slightly while his body was activated, and dribbled the ball under his crotch as if he was going to go to Augustine's left hand side.
Rose elegantly reached the basket and scored, Augustine could only shake his head and sigh.

"Is your ankle okay?" Rose asked coldly.

Augustine smiled helplessly.

Then, Augustine and Ross started a bombing battle.

In the first 5 minutes, Augustin scored 6 points on 4 of 10 shots.

Rose made continuous breakthroughs and responded with 10 points.

The Longhorns and the Tigers tied at 13:13.

John Cariapa requested a timeout.

"Ross, let Aaron handle the next round." Cariapa said in a deep voice.

"Why?" Rose showed a puzzled expression.

"I need you to go back to the normal rhythm of the game. The game is to win, not to fight with a mindless player, understand?"

Cariapa's words left Ross speechless.

Rose is well aware that he is the team's number one star, but he has the experience of being pressed on the bench, which makes him dare not speak out.

Chen Long patted Rose on the shoulder and said to him, "I'll make you a ball."

"Farewell, or the coach will complain about me taking the ball again..." Derrick Rose said angrily.

John Cariappa sighed, wondering what wrong drug Ross had taken.

After the timeout, Augustine was still playing singles with his head slumped, but his sight began to drop, and his jumper hit the iron.

Chen Long holds the ball and advances across the half.

Augustine immediately teased Rose, "Hmph, I can make any shot, but the number one pick can't?"

With a dark face, Rose completed the movement according to the original tactics.

Augustine stalks Rose like a mad dog.

After Chen Long failed to pass the ball, he turned to CD Roberts again for a hand-to-hand screen shot. Roberts hit a three-pointer and the Tigers took the lead for the first time.

"Aaron, didn't you say you would pass it on to me?"

During the defense process, Ross said angrily.

Chen Long was taken aback for a moment, but did not speak.

Rose continued angrily, "Damn it, I will attack by myself in the future! Aaron, I am the boss of the team!"
