Chapter 205 The only person he fears
Derrick Rose held the ball and faced OJ Mayo who was bending over to defend in front of him, and the ball was constantly moving back and forth between his hands. OJ, the nerves of Mayo's whole body are tense, and they are fully focused on guarding against Derrick Rose's offense.
OJ Mayo knows very well that Derrick Rose in front of him not only has a sharp breakthrough, but also has an unbelievable folding layup. Derrick Rose's long-range shooting skills are also very good.Although Derrick Rose's outside three-point shooting percentage was not very good in the past, but this season, Derrick Rose's shooting has made great progress.
This is what dreads Derrick Rose's opponents the most.
The defender doesn't know at all, is Derrick Rose going to break through with the ball, or is he suddenly making a three-pointer from outside the three-point line?
This is also one of the biggest headaches for OJ Mayo now.
Just from the external actions of Derrick Rose, it is difficult to judge whether Derrick Rose is going to break through or shoot an outside three-pointer.
However, Derrick Rose suddenly switched the ball to his left hand and made a small ball-protecting motion with his right hand while leaning forward slightly.
Suddenly, OJ Mayo on the court realized the same thing as Xu Xu sitting on the team's bench off the court:
Derrick Rose is going to break from his left!
Realizing this, OJ Mayo couldn't help but bend down deeply, always guarding against Derrick Rose's sudden acceleration and rushing towards the penalty area behind him.
At this moment, Derek Rose suddenly started.However, Derrick Rose did not break through from his left side, but changed direction and broke through from his right side, which caught OJ Mayo a little by surprise.Although OJ Mayo can be regarded as an excellent point guard, in terms of physical fitness, OJ Mayo is not as good as Derrick Rose.Therefore, Derrick Rose used his powerful explosive power to instantly leave OJ Mayo behind.
"Derrick Rose is so fast!" Rudy Fernandez said in his Spanish-accented English.
"In terms of speed alone, Derrick Rose is not very fast, not even as fast as me." Xu Nuo said, "However, Derrick Rose's explosive power in an instant and his starting speed when breaking through the first step are relatively fast. of."
"So, can he be faster than Dwyane Wade?" Paul George, sitting next to Xu Nuo, asked.
Promise did not speak.
"Dwyane Wade is known as the fastest in the world when he breaks through the first step, and you who can compete with Dwyane Wade for breakthrough speed, it seems that you can also beat Derrick Rose." Paul George Looking at the promise, he said.
However, Xu Nuo shook his head.
"This alone is not enough to defeat Derek Rose." Xu Nuo said.
As Xu Nuo was speaking, Derrick Rose had already broken through OJ Mayo's defense on the court and reached the Indiana Pacers' defensive hinterland.Danny Granger and David West immediately surrounded them, trying to block Derrick Rose's breakthrough.However, Derrick Rose jumped up high, took advantage of the opportunity to get through the gap between Danny Granger and David West, and then easily scored a layup, which also caused Defensive foul by David West.
"It's amazing!" Xu Nuo said in his heart.
Derrick Rose, who stood on the free throw line, made a steady extra free throw and successfully hit a three-pointer. The Chicago Bulls once again took the lead.
"If you want to limit Derrick Rose's offense, it's not enough to rely on one person alone." Xu Nuo said to himself.
The Indiana Pacers attack and the ball is in the hands of Danny Granger again.Danny Granger just got the ball, Luol Deng and Derek Rose immediately stepped forward to double-team.Danny Granger scrambled to protect the ball so as not to be intercepted by his opponent.At this time OJ Mayo ran beyond the unguarded three-point line-because Derrick Rose, who was in charge of defending him, was involved in double-teaming Danny Granger, and Danny Granger immediately handed the ball to OJ Mayo O's hands.
"Irvington had to shoot the ball, and he had to hit it, so the Chicago Bulls had to change their defensive strategy." Promise said.
On the court, OJ Mayo did make a shot, but the ball did not go into the basket obediently, but knocked on the basket and bounced high.
"Damn it!" OJ Mayo hit his palm with his fist angrily.
While the ball was bouncing high, the basket immediately formed a scuffle for the rebound. However, at this moment, the referee Derek Stamford blew his whistle , and then pointed to Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert.Roy Hibbert was fouled by pushing for a rebound, as seen by Derek Stamford's gesture, and it was Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah who was pushed out.
For his foul, Roy Hibbert didn't want to justify anything, he turned around and ran back to his team's half to prepare for defense.Derrick Rose picked up the ball from Joakim Noah, who had just been fouled, and began to organize the offense.
"Come on, Derrick Rose!" OJ Mayo said bitterly, "I must defend against your attack this time! I must give you some color!"
Derrick Rose heard what OJ Mayo said, but Derrick Rose didn't say anything about it, and there was no change in expression on his face.Perhaps in Derrick Rose's view, any verbal communication on the court is of no use, and he can only use his own actions to defeat his opponent.
At this time, Derrick Rose slowly controlled the ball at the top of the arc outside the three-point line. Small forward Luol Deng used the cover of Carlos Boozer to get rid of Danny Granger's defense and came to the right side of the court. Outside the three-point line.Derrick Rose immediately passed the ball in his hand. After receiving the ball, Luol Deng shot directly from outside the three-point line, and the ball smashed into the basket with a "boom".
At 12:6, the Chicago Bulls at home had a six-point lead over the Indiana Pacers, a score that made the United Center arena in Chicago burst into joy.
Xu Nuo glanced at Coach Larry Brown who was standing on the sidelines of the court, but Coach Larry Brown didn't seem to want to call a timeout or make a substitution, which made Xu Nuo feel a little strange. Personality, no matter what kind of mistakes the team made, Coach Larry Brown would immediately call a timeout and yell at the players, but now Coach Larry Brown is still watching the players on the court without saying a word. Contest.
"Could it be that Coach Larry Brown has become unresponsive?" Xu Nuo speculated.
"Maybe Coach Larry Brown wants everyone to find out and solve problems by themselves." Paul George, who was sitting next to Xu Nuo, said.
"That's Phil Jackson's coaching style, not Coach Larry Brown's." Xu Nuo frowned and said, "You also know that Coach Larry Brown has always been very strict and doesn't allow us to make any mistakes, I don't know What the hell happened to Coach Larry Brown tonight."
Paul George shrugged and spread his hands to show that he didn't know either.
At this time, Danny Granger once again faced double-teaming by two opponents on the court. Danny Granger wanted to pass the ball, but the ball was knocked down by Derek Rose. Fighting for the floor ball, he got into a fight with Derrick Rose.Danny Granger struggled to get the ball, but the referee Derek Stamford blew his whistle.
Immediately, the substitute players of both teams jumped up, clamoring for Derek Stamford to award the ball to his team.Derek Stamford, however, shook his head and then gave the Indiana Pacers a short timeout.It turned out that while Danny Granger was fighting for the ball, he signaled to Derek Stamford to take a timeout. It was rare for the NBA referee to give the visiting team a timeout.
Danny Granger returned to the Indiana Pacers bench with his head bowed and sat down dejectedly.In the past 5 minutes of the game, Danny Granger played quite depressed.
"Danny, your poor performance is not your own fault." Coach Larry Brown said to Danny Granger.
Danny Granger seemed a little surprised when he heard Coach Larry Brown say that, but Xu Nuo, who stood aside, nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Coach Larry Brown looked at OJ Mayo.
"Irvington, take a break. Promise, you will replace Irvington!" Coach Larry Brown said loudly, giving the order for a substitution.
"Yes!" Xu Nuo replied loudly, and took off his sports coat.
Coach Larry Brown looked at Xu Nuo with a smile on his face.
"I think, now you are the only one who can restrain Derek Rose." Coach Larry Brown smiled and said to Xu Nuo, "You are the only person he fears!"
Hearing what coach Larry Brown said, a smile appeared on Xu Nuo's face.
"Before this, we have played against Derrick Rose. We played well that time, and we will not lose to them this time." Xu Nuo said.
Coach Larry Brown nodded, and then his face returned to the original serious expression.
"Remember, your task is to help the team catch up to the score, no matter what method you use!" Coach Larry Brown said loudly.
"Don't worry!" Xu Nuo said, with his head held high, he stepped onto the court.
