If you only look at the data, you cannot understand it!
To put it simply, if you only use single defense tactics, Rose can beat anyone.
Attention, it’s anyone!
For example, now, in order to limit Rose's performance, the Rockets have sent in a defensive hero - Tony Allen.
The most powerful defensive aspect of Teacher Tony is his super-fast lateral movement.
In the original time and space, he relied on his terrifying lateral speed and quick hands to make the "Splash Brothers" complain in their childhood.
But even if the defense is as strong as Tony Allen, Rose is still helpless when facing Rose at his peak.
In the first round of the matchup between the two, Rose held the ball two steps beyond the three-point line.
Teacher Tony adheres to the strategy of giving more shots than sudden shots, and defends with his toes on the three-point line.
He kept his center of gravity very low, opened his hands in a standard defensive posture, and was highly focused.
After Rose signaled his teammates to pull away, in just a short moment, he went from static to the highest speed.
He rushed straight towards Tony Allen, as if he was going to use his speed to cause a conflict.
Teacher Tony reacted immediately, took a step sideways, and prepared to defend.
But in a flash, Rose suddenly changed hands and dribbled, changing the breakthrough direction from the right to the left.
This change of direction dribbling was done very neatly and with great range.
But that's not the scariest thing.
What's even more frightening is that Ross didn't slow down at all during the entire change of direction!
In other words, he almost completed the change of direction at the speed of a straight sprint!
At such a speed, any false move will produce far beyond ordinary effects.
After Tony Allen was shaken away, he wanted to adjust his steps to cover up the defense, but Rose was too fast, so he couldn't react in time and actually sat down!
"woo~"
There was an exclamation of exclamation at Toyota Center.
Even opponents' fans can't help but be curious about Rose's terrifying speed.
Rockets fans even stopped shouting, and the entire arena became unusually quiet.
"Bang~"
The sound of the butt colliding with the wooden floor was particularly loud at this moment.
After Rose completed the pass, he went straight towards the Rockets penalty area.
The next moment, a huge figure stood in front of him...
The person coming was none other than Yao Ming.
Dayao is ready and serious, obviously trying to regain the field for his teammates.
And Rose, who was on the rise, had no scruples at this moment and took off with both feet facing Yao Ming.
This is the first conversation between the two top picks in this game!
At the same time, Griffin on the side also jumped high and double-teamed Rose from the side.
At this moment, you can't even see Rose in the live footage because he is completely surrounded by the Rockets' two big insiders.
But even so, Ross did not give up.
Relying on his strong core strength, he tightened his abdomen in the air, and his whole body seemed to ignore gravity and stopped in mid-air.
Yao Ming has started to fall from the highest point. Griffin is slightly better, but he is also slowly falling.
Rose actually waited until both of them had landed before changing direction and passing the ball to the outside.
And the Bulls' shooter Korver has been waiting there for a long time!
After receiving Rose's pass, he took the shot easily.
The basketball left his fingertips and spun at high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...
"Shua~"
Hollow into the net!
"Beautiful! This is a 'dragon-slaying pass' Ross!"
Yang Yi sighed.
"This shot is a pure display of talent. Rose relied on his strong waist and abdominal strength to stay in the air longer than ordinary people."
"Both Yao Ming and Griffin are down, but he can still exert force a second time and reverse direction in the air...it's awesome!"
"I haven't seen anyone except Rose make that pass."
Yu Jia added.
............
After completing the assist, Rose still looked calm.
Those who didn't know better thought he was just a bystander.
But in fact, Rose has scored 10 points, 3 assists, and 1 steal since reentering the game in the second quarter.
He almost single-handedly helped the Bulls stop their decline!
With Korver's three-pointer, the score reached 45:40, and the Rockets only led by 5 points.
At such a critical moment, the director immediately cut the camera to McGrady.
T-Mac was walking towards Tony Allen and pulled the latter up.
"It's okay for you to be defensive, just continue to be so defensive."
Maddie said calmly.
"ok."
Tony Allen didn't get angry because he was knocked down.
As a defensive warrior, he has defended the opponent's offensive arrows countless times in his career.
As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, you can't help but get your shoes wet.
All good defenders will inevitably be knocked down and dunked.
After all, only those who are serious about defense may encounter such a thing.
Those with defensive eyes will be passed by the opponent in one step and have no chance to show off.
............
After comforting his teammates, McGrady walked to the baseline, took the initiative to ask for the ball, and dribbled the ball across half court alone.
Seeing him act like this, both teammates and opponents knew that t-mac was preparing to play solo.
"It's a good show to watch, haha."
Yang Yi commented timely.
"This is Tracy McGrady, the way he responds to his opponents is always so direct."
Yu Jia also sighed.
Just as he was talking, McGrady actually signaled Lowry to step forward for a pick-and-roll, and successfully replaced the defender with... Derrick Rose!
This year's most popular fried chicken in the league is going head-to-head at this moment!
The audience at the scene was naturally happy to see such a scene.
After all, who doesn't want to watch two MVP contenders go head-to-head?
Ever since, Rockets fans took it upon themselves to start making noise:
"t-mac!!!"
"t-mac!!!"
"t-mac!!!"
...
Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, Tracy McGrady moved!
I saw him dribbling the ball towards Rose, then suddenly accelerated and passed the latter's defense in one step.
The fastest first step in the alliance is so terrifying!
Rose didn't expect McGrady to be so fast, and he staggered in panic.
After being passed, he did not give up his defense, but turned around and struggled to catch up with t-mac.
At the same time, the Bulls' two major insiders, Noah and Gibson, shrank from the basket at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, blocking McGrady.
There are pursuers behind, interceptors in front...
At this moment, Tracy McGrady was surrounded by the Bulls.
Just when people thought he was helpless and could only pass the ball, t-mac did something unexpected!
