Starting with 2006

Chapter 518 It's Your Time to Play!
Is Derrick Rose fast?
Fans across the United States will sneer at the person who asked the question after hearing this question, and even stare at the person who asked the question with a look of scrutiny for a fool, because this is almost a question with no other results.

Does anyone think Rose isn't quick enough?

Rose may be the most physical point guard in NBA history.

Why was Rose able to steadily suppress Beasley and become the No. 08 pick in the [-] draft when Beasley scored like chopping vegetables?
Just because the Bulls lack a point guard?

Who was the last NBA point guard to win the No. [-] pick?
Allen Iverson.

But as we all know, Iverson entered the league as a shooting guard. He is a shooting guard with the same reputation as Kobe. He is a fighter in the hearts of American fans!
And what about the last true No. [-] point guard?
Elvin Johnson.

Everyone is full of expectations for this incredible fast player, and he is likely to bring more intense battles to the already competitive defender's position, so when someone questions that Rose is not fast enough, everyone Will spray his own saliva on this person's face, is this guy mentally retarded?

But what if it was Bulls legend Scottie Pippen who asked the question? "Soon, but not fast enough!"

Watching Barkley and Kenny Smith's mouths grow open and the shocked expressions on their faces, Pippen added.

"It is still difficult for him to run his own speed smoothly and freely in the NBA, that is to say, he has not yet mastered his own speed switch, and his starting rhythm time is still too much."

This is actually not wrong.

Hearing Pippen's explanation, Barkley and Kenny Smith exchanged glances. Obviously, they both agreed with Pippen's words. After thinking about it carefully, Rose is indeed fast, but he is not as fast as he was in college. Sudden acceleration can throw anyone who is defending him in front of him. After coming to the NBA, Rose still has a huge advantage in his speed, but he is obviously a bit procrastinated when he accelerates past others.

This kind of procrastination is extremely fatal for a defender who relies on his speed process. In a defensive confrontation at the level of the NBA, if a defender wants to rely on his own speed to surpass others, or he is incredibly fast, there is no defense at all. Pass him directly before reacting, or have a good rhythm that can make the defender dizzy and then use his speed to easily pass the defender.

And if there is a problem with the activation like Roros, he may not have a bad performance in front of a considerable number of defenders, because the chicken is a screw. Keep up with Rose's speed, but Rose will definitely struggle when facing Jann, who is also fast and physically as strong as Rose, or even stronger.

Of course, no one dared to believe that Screw could face off in this game, how well he performed in En, they just expected Rose to play against the two most likely to become the best point guards in the world in the future It's time to show your potential. After all, Zhan En is now a third-year player who is breaking out, and Sun Yue is a second-year player who has just found his position, and Derrick Rose is just a rookie.

The competition between the three of them will start now, but their competition will definitely not only go to this level, it is just the beginning now.

After all, they are just immature players now. Even Zhan En, the representative of the younger generation, has many problems, and their strengths have not been fully developed. Therefore, if fans want to see Zhan En and their three It will be difficult to see a fierce duel between people for at least two years.

It takes at least three years, or even longer, for a position-control player to mature. Even in this position, the older the player, the more popular. After all, this position requires players with rich experience and superb on-the-spot judgment ability. And geniuses are called geniuses precisely because of their extraordinary abilities.

But even if a genius is in this position, it still takes three years to settle.

The three people outside the court were sitting and chatting, the protagonists on the court were not as nervous as they thought, the Bobcats were because there were no rookies in their team except Dragic, and the players had enough experience. Even if they faced the Bulls led by this year's rookie No. [-] pick in a game, they didn't have much emotional ups and downs.

After all, Rose is very good, but he is only a rookie. They have survived from the rookie stage and they know how many problems rookies have and how easy they are to go wrong.

Except for one person, a player who was sitting at the end of the bench and staring at the field with burning eyes, wearing a white No. [-] jersey and standing in the middle of the field. Dragic was very unwilling. A person is destined to be the protagonist on the field, and is destined to be noticed by everyone and become the focus of the world, and a person like him will be forgotten by everyone, and forgotten by his head coach in a certain corner.

He really wants to compete with that person on the court. They are both point guards. Even though Rose's talent is unrivaled, he doesn't think that Rose, who is a rookie, can be better than him in point guard. In fact, he was indeed subdued by Sun Yue and Zhan En. He admitted that both Sun Yue and Zhan En were much better than him.

What he is best at is not worth mentioning in front of the two of them, but this does not mean that Rose has the ability to suppress him. He has seen Rose's game and is indeed talented, but that's all. .

They were both equally immature, equally inexperienced, how could he not be as good as Rose if they were face to face?

But there is only one thing he has to admit, and that is confrontation.

Even Rose's body is very thin, but Dragic knows very rationally that Rose's confrontation is definitely much better than him. For example, Rose seems a bit embarrassed when facing Jann's back, but he has not lost. His own defensive position, this is something he can't do. Every time Dragic is easily pushed back even against Jann, who is the thinnest in the team.

He is also very self-aware, so although he felt uncomfortable because he couldn't play, he didn't complain, because he knew very well that his playing would only add another defensive loophole to the Bobcats, who were already prone to defensive problems. Whoever he replaces will cause big problems for the Bobcats' defense.

He will become the biggest defensive hole on the field. When his offense cannot offset the negative value brought by his defense, it will be difficult for him to get a chance to play. This is something both he and Stotts know well. .

But he still wants to play!
For no reason, he just wants to compete with the youngest and best point guards in the world to see his own problems and learn their strengths. This is a rare opportunity for him, and he needs no more time than now And the opportunity to grow.

Rose on the court naturally couldn't feel it. There was a person on the Bobcats' bench watching him all the time, and now all his attention was on the seemingly thin opponent in front of him.

Of course he knows the player John Jann, and he has also watched a lot of game videos about Jann before the game. He may have an advantage against him, but he thinks this game can be played, and he can also show his own strength. State competes with one of the best players in this new generation of point guards.

But when the game really started, Rose suddenly felt that he felt a bit too much pressure. Before, everyone was laughing at how bad Zhann's defense was, and the game videos he saw were all kinds of bad performances stuck on the defensive end , but when he wanted to single-handedly fight Jann face to face, he found it difficult to get rid of Jann.

Zhan En's fine footsteps when defending him, and the pressure and interference on him made him feel extremely uncomfortable. This should not be a player who is not good at defense. The defensive performance he can show, Rose, who scored zero in the opening game, Now I just want to scold those experts who say that Zhan can't defend at all.

Although Zhan En's help defense and filling position are really poor, that doesn't mean Zhan En's defense is really bad. Those people don't have long-term eyes, can't they see Zhan En's performance in single defense? ?
The game between the Bobcats and the Bulls is not particularly interesting to watch on the whole, because although the Bulls are now ranked third in the Eastern Conference, their overall strength is indeed not in a normal state. After Rose came to the Bulls, their original head star Ben Gordon calmly gave up on himself, the team organization task that he was extremely bad at and made him feel extremely headache.

He can wholeheartedly focus on his best and favorite offensive end, so in the past month or so, although Ben Gordon's data does not seem to have changed much, his score has increased slightly and his assists have dropped by one. The rebounds also dropped a bit. It seems that after Rose came to the Bulls, his status has declined, but his overall efficiency has suddenly improved.

It can be said that Rose did not undertake many offensive tasks in the Bulls. The most outside offensive firepower of the team was handed over to Ben Gordon. The best season, averaging 23 points, 4 points, 3.4 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game, won him the love of many Bulls fans.

Originally, fans' doubts about him were naturally dissipated because of his outstanding performance. Now Ben Gordon has really found his own position. He is not a master who can do everything, he is only suitable to be a The second master who can fully fire anytime, anywhere.

So no one dares to make a conclusion about how long Gordon's current fiery state can last, and the Bobcats' strength is slowly improving as everyone expects. The strength of these two teams is definitely not just theirs. The way it is currently displayed.

So this game is actually probably equivalent to two teams on the verge of the playoffs fighting each other. The only thing to look forward to is the duel between Rose and Jann. , this game seems to have lost any suspense from the very beginning.

The only desire that fans can watch all the time is when Sun Yue will explode. After all, as the first quarter of the game is about to end, Sun Yue will most likely regain control of the ball at this time.

In the last few games, this point guard who had been in a lost state has also begun to find his own sense of the game. Now all Bobcats fans expect Sun Yue to get better and better. After all, although the core of the Bobcats is forward-looking Well, but there are still many Bobcats fans who love Sun Yue's gorgeous style of play and his style of play.

Zhan En is a player selected by the Bobcats through the draft and has been with them for three years, and Sun Yue is also a player from the Bobcats through the draft, but he arrived a year later than Zhan En. They may be The most entangled fans in the world, because they can't let go of their love for another player.

"Golan, it's time for you to warm up."

The sudden Dragic did not expect that Stotts would turn around and waved at him. When he heard Stotts say this, his face was full of disbelief. Is this to let him play?

But it's not garbage time yet!

Although Dragic was confused, subconsciously he jumped up from the bench, then walked to the sidelines and began to take off his clothes. His face was full of doubts and excitement. Why did Stotts let him prepare What about playing?

He doesn't know the reason, the only thing he knows now is that his opportunity is coming, so he has to seize this opportunity, which is too rare for him.

"This year's rookie Goran Dragic replaced Jann, who performed well in the previous quarter, which is a bit strange! You must know that Dragic is not a player who plays at this point in time. Some time to start the second quarter, and get garbage time in the fourth quarter."

"But now Stotts has replaced this rookie when the game situation is still unclear. This is really beyond our expectations. If you know the regular rotation, it should be Hill or Ricky David. With Dragic on the court, the Bobcats' already weak defense will be worse."

"Maybe Stotts is counting on this rookie to bring some different changes to the Bobcats on the offensive end?"

Pippen's slightly teasing words filled the live broadcast room with a happy atmosphere. Everyone laughed. No one would take Pippen's words seriously. Can a rookie player from Europe bring changes to the Bobcats who are good at attacking?

How is this possible, perhaps what the Bobcats should consider now is how they can get Dragic out of the targeted offense of the Bulls!
