Chapter 167 Advancing to the Finals

Bulls Rose's shooting ability has never been very good.

He usually causes damage through breakthroughs.

Such players are generally afraid of double teams.

Just look at LeBron in the 2007 Finals...

"Rose" is naturally no exception.

In addition, the Bulls' No. 2 position is still Hinrich.

In fact, Hinrich's shooting ability is not weak, and his three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs was as high as 42.2%!

It is already a level that can only be achieved by the best three-point shooters in the league!

But his shooting needs to be adjusted, and his shooting speed is not very fast...

If he were a more pure second-position pitcher, Rose might not have such a difficult time!

Bulls head coach Vinnie DeNagro tried to use Rasheed Wallace and Noah to screen Rose in an attempt to create more room for Derrick Rose to break through.

Rose's talent lies here. When he has more room to break through, he will be able to burst out with more powerful breakthrough capabilities, and may be able to use his speed to directly break through double teams...

From this we can also see how terrifying Derrick Rose's talent is.

There are some players who you know will break through, but you just can't prevent them, such as Allen Iverson, and Irving...

Compared to these two, I have skills at least. If I get passed by, I can comfort myself. They play the ball well, so I also need to strengthen ball control training.

Practice more "handling the ball with both hands" at home in the evening.

Derrick Rose's breakthrough was simply relying on his talent to hit people, leaving you completely unresponsive and just wanting to go home and go to sleep.

Damn your basketball dreams!

Against the Celtics, the Bulls relied on Derrick Rose to keep picking and rolling with the inside, and stunned the Celtics.

But that's the Green Army...

Without Kevin Garnett, the overall athletic ability is not outstanding...

The Magic are different. The back line of Li Wan and Raja Bell, coupled with the defense of Dwight Howard, not to mention the "iron wall", not even a fly can fly in.

That is also the "iron chain connecting the river", one after another.

Derrick Rose's breakthroughs were repeatedly blocked.

Once the scalpel-like breakthrough is gone, Rose's lack of organizational skills as a rookie and his insufficient vision will all come out.

At the end of the first quarter, the Magic successfully opened the point difference to more than 7 points.

In the second quarter, Vinnie adjusted his playing style and allowed Hinrich to control the ball for a while.

As a "brain-type" No. 1 position, Hinrich, who "can't run fast and can't jump high," can be regarded as a representative of relying on his brain to play. But...

Once he gets the ball, Derrick Rose can only stand on the wing.

And just like Hinrich, there is no way to attract the defense and involve the formation.

This is what's interesting about the NBA.

Although Hinrich's form dropped a lot last season, he still averaged 12 points and 6 assists per game, while Derrick Rose was almost at his peak since his debut.

Looking at the numerical value alone, the two of them are definitely a very good backcourt combination.

But because both of them need a lot of ball rights, once one of them gets the ball, the other can only stand aside and stare...

So……

Hinrich's holding the ball did not make the Bulls' offense smoother, but instead made it more rigid...

As the absolute core of the former "Bulls Renaissance Club", Hinrich is known as "a good shooter".

But it turned out in the end that he was indeed good at both, but not proficient in either.

It's okay if he suddenly unleashes a cold arrow...

Ask him to carry the flag...

Especially after experiencing a sudden decline in form in the 2007-08 season...

I can’t say that there is no hope at all, I can only say that it is impossible!

There is no other way, the ball can only return to Derrick Rose's hands again.

Looking at Laga Bell in front of him, and then at Li Wan next to him, "Rose" looked bitter, swatted the ball twice, gritted his teeth and charged hard.

The tacit cooperation between Li Wan and Laga Bell intercepted his ball.

2 on 1 in the frontcourt...

Derrick Rose watched helplessly as Li Wan and Bell passed the ball back and forth, and finally completed the goal with a one-handed dunk.

The on-site commentator made a "everything is over" gesture.

In the TNT studio, Kenny Smith also said: "It's over. Obviously, Derrick Rose's breakthrough has been adapted..."

After the Magic's backcourt completed such a clean steal, Derrick Rose's next situation will probably be even more difficult.

At halftime, the score difference between the two sides reached double digits.

Rose made 3 of 13 shots in the half, had only 8 points, and made 4 turnovers.

Kenny Smith was not wrong. Less than 2 minutes after Li Wan and Laga Bell teamed up to steal, they completed the steal again.

At that time, Derrick Rose looked a bit...

Lengtouqing~

If Ben Gordon hadn't summoned his "bankrupt version of Jordan's shooting bag", the score difference in this half would have been more than 15 points.

Ben Gordon scored 11 points in the second quarter...

To be honest, it's a good thing God didn't give this guy a "ball holding" skill point, otherwise this guy's explosive scoring power would definitely be Li Wan in 2004!

Of course, Li Wan now has more and more labels than before.

This season has added the label of "stable", as well as "good passing", "good view of the overall situation", "excellent organizational skills" and other labels...

He has become another synonym for "combo guard" in the NBA!

There is not just one "good explosive scoring ability".

Barkley watched Derrick Rose come back from the locker room.

He still held his head, and the 15-minute rest time did not change the child's mood.

Also, he played really poorly in the first half of this game.

It can be said that it was his worst game since the playoffs.

"These are the growing pains, kid!"

He sighed.

Everyone has been through this, and only by going through these difficulties can brighter roses bloom.

Even though the first half was terrible.

He is still optimistic about Derrick Rose.

Even more optimistic about this "Windy City Rose".

After all, the defensive strength invested by the Magic is real.

But under such circumstances, you can still see Derrick Rose's "flash of inspiration" at certain times, and he will definitely have the potential to become a superstar!

the most important……

Just keep a good attitude!

The picture was shown to Li Wan at this time.

Buckley thought to himself: Don't be affected by this guy...

This guy is not a human being!

It’s normal to be inferior to him!

actually……

Just looking at the first two rounds of the series, Rose is better than Li Wan last year.

But the general view from the outside world is that Li Wan's performance is better.

In addition to the stronger opponent, it is also related to the fact that Li Wan saved the team alone several times!

This is where Derrick Rose can't compare.

Although his performance is also at the top level in the team, compared with Li Wan, it lacks the shock.

When the team is in dire straits, he often can only sink with the team, but Li Wan can always bring incredible performances.
