Chapter 1252 Roses wither and sister-in-law retreats
The Chicago Bulls, who represented the league's ultra-slow pace in the past few seasons, were also a regular team in the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. However, as it was always difficult to break through, Thibodeau was fired, and the Bulls' style of play also changed to "
The offensive power is still so average, but the defense is not as brave as it used to be. The team's boss is still Rose. Last season, Rose showed some signs of recovery, but this season,
He has returned to "ordinary". The ordinary here means that he has returned to the ordinary All-Star level. His sharp decline, coupled with the fact that the three-point shooting is still so poor, the Bulls have lost their defense again. They have lost their defense this season.
The fact that we are able to fight like this in the East is all thanks to the "overall weakness" of the East.
There was an episode before this game. Butler of the Lakers asked him to take the initiative to guard Derrick Rose. Tang Qian knew that he wanted to vent and take revenge. Who made the Bulls so decisive to "trade" and "veto" himself?
?You actually want to use a low-priced contract to suppress yourself, just because of a "glass man"? In this case, I will fight him to the end.
Neither Tang Qian nor Larry Brown objected. Anyway, the strength of the Bulls is not that outstanding. If something happens, they still have the capital to get it back. And there is no reason to deny such a passionate matter.
After all, Larry Brown still admires tough and passionate old-school basketball. This kind of thing is just a good thing to improve the team's blood, so he also nodded. Of course, of course, it's all up to Butler. The first thing is revenge.
Old club, this drama is so common in the NBA that it is almost becoming an unwritten rule. It is not a bad thing for players to have this kind of mentality. Secondly, Butler's defense is very strong, and he even broke out because of playing under the former.
All the defensive power comes out. Except...the arms are a little shorter.
Coupled with Rose's average condition this season, Butler is not without a chance.
Through these comprehensive analyses, Larry Brown chose to "let" Butler.
"I know how you feel, go defend and keep an eye on him. Aren't you the leaders of the league's top points?" Tang Qian's words were a bit "tricky", but against the Rockets, Butler was really good at statistics.
It's not a lie to say that his performance is not inferior to Harden's. Butler nodded, looked at the Bulls and Roses opposite, and suddenly said: "Hot, you are much more suitable to be the boss than him."
Tang Qian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You are such a flatterer, you are not like you normally."
"I'm just telling the truth." Butler said: "If you are not strong enough, I will never be your deputy. This is the kind of person I am." Tang Qian also said: "Very good, I also like you like this.
Personality, although I didn’t like you in the past. But now, I have a bit of a cold. Haha~”
"Tang, don't be too proud. If one day I surpass you, I will definitely lead someone in the team to beat you!"
"Haha~ It's okay. As long as you can do it, I welcome it. Kobe Bryant told me that to be the boss, you must be stronger than everyone else on the team. If you are better than me, you will be the boss.
I have no objection."
Although Butler knows that this possibility is very small, the Lakers have grown so fast in the past few seasons that it is difficult for him to have the desire to challenge. But the fact that the team boss can speak so directly shows his courage.
.Unlike some people, when their own strength is gone and they are no longer that strong, they still don’t allow others to challenge them. This makes them lose their motivation.
For people like Butler, even if they want to follow someone, they have to choose the right person, someone who is strong enough. An ordinary-level guy is not worthy of being his "big brother". Well,
So in 2018, because he was dissatisfied with the provocation of Towns, the No. 1 pick, he took direct action and led the team's third team, the water-cooler players, to defeat the starting team led by Towns. And that's not all.
Once. This is embarrassing. However, a person with this kind of personality will definitely play very hard. If you can control him, he will be a very powerful helper. If you can't control him... then I'm sorry. Timberwolves
The team's two No. 1 picks are destined to end.
This game was a bit unexpected. It was not scheduled to be broadcast live across the United States, but it didn't matter. Anyway, for the Lakers, it was a daily routine to be broadcast live across the United States. They would play like this if they had it, and they would play like this if they didn't. Tang Qian just wanted to win.
Rose was also surprised because he was in the No. 1 position. Logically speaking, Rondo should be defending the Lakers tonight, but he didn't expect that the person standing in front of him at the beginning was Jimmy Butler. He was very familiar with this person.
My impression is that he is a person with a bad temper and a very "selfish" attitude. It was really intolerable that he actually wanted to challenge his position as the boss back then.
Have you seen Golden Armor? You can't steal it if I don't give it to you.
Besides, ordinary teams would not arrange this. For example, D'Antoni would not agree to it, because the German coach's style of play is also based on 7 points of offense and 3 points of defense. It is impossible for Butler to do this. But Larry
. Brown is different. He will agree to some weird requests, as long as you are really attracted by him and you are indeed capable.
Forget it Xiao Xiami, he will scold you until you cry during team training. See the part when he was with the Knicks, Nate Robinson couldn't bear the scolding directly, and publicly disclosed the news that he was about to cry after being scolded by Larry Brown.
It shows what kind of personality this old guy has. Don’t talk about him. Billups of the Pistons said this about Larry Brown in interviews, and sometimes wanted to kill him.
Think about it. This kind of person happens to be paired with all the weirdos of the Lakers team.
Butler didn't have this opportunity last season, but this season he has it, and his scoring has also increased. He just wants to fight Rose, defeat him, and let the media see if he is worse than Rose.
Of course Rose was better than Butler at his peak, but how long was Rose's peak? How long ago was it? The ability to resist injuries is also part of his strength.
Besides, he and Butler were fighting fiercely within the Bulls team at the time, so it would be unrealistic to have no conflict.
Just in time for a fight.
"Do you think you can beat me?" Rose still has the arrogance of the MVP level back then. He has always looked down on Butler. Well, he did have that kind of capital back then, but now, it's a little bit...
Tuoda. "I'll do it for you right now." Butler shot back directly: "I'm keeping an eye on you tonight."
"Just you???" Rose was a little funny, so after the Lakers scored the first goal, he immediately waved for the ball, and then prepared for a singles duel with Butler. He stood in the top arc and made a gesture
, this was obviously aimed at Butler. Tang Qian motioned for everyone to pull away from behind, giving them sufficient space for singles attack and defense.
To be honest, if this were the original time and space, and Butler had not left the Bulls, then now would be the season where he would completely suppress and defeat Rose to become the team leader. Rose had already lost once in the original time and space this season. It was very complete.
What about time and space? Butler went up, and the Staples Center suddenly became lively. The on-site commentator Bill MacDonald said into the commentary microphone in front of him: "OH~OO.ONE~"
One-on-one, even in the NBA, is a very exciting thing. Everyone loves to watch this. This is the most direct confrontation of offense and defense, which is far more exciting than ordinary offense and defense. Those who win are cheered.
, the loser will be ridiculed. Now Butler is very hopeful to be included in the All-Star substitute lineup, so he also needs an "impression point" game to increase his "impression votes".
The two people faced each other at the beginning, which is very interesting. Rose VS Butler. If this matchup was a few years ago, there would be no suspense at all. Everyone would just think that Butler is seeking his own death. Even now
, and many people think so. Rose is also an MVP after all, and he is only in his twenties now. Although he did not perform at his peak level when he came back last season, he still feels that he has recovered well, so many people think that if you give him time, Rose will
It was the same Ross Butler back then, but his progress was ignored by many people, and they only regarded him as a good defensive player.
Rose pulled away, stopped dribbling suddenly, and then tried to insert to the left, but was blocked by Butler. Rose quickly changed his center of gravity, deflected his knee, and fell directly to the other side without any transition. This can be regarded as Rose's NBA breakthrough.
This is a common trick, it is very sudden, and if you are not careful, you will be wiped out. I don’t know how many people were turned into dogs by him back then, and they ate the ashes of their feet. It’s just this trick, it’s a bit too worn out on the knees.
And Rose's physical endurance is far inferior to that of Westbrook. So in the long run, it's not that the opponent can't hold on, but that his own body can't bear it first.
He himself has to bear a lot of responsibility for his injury.
"This ball, keep up! Jimmy keeps up! Beautiful defense!" Bill McDonald said.
Hum. Luck.
After all, Rose is Rose, and he still has a back-up move, a crotch, an instant sudden stop. The sudden stop after a high-speed impact, this is a test of the personal ability of the breakthroughr. If it is slow, it will have no effect at all, but if it is fast, it will have a miraculous effect. Defense
Players will fall into a situation where it is difficult to adjust their center of gravity because they were still following the defense at high speed. For example, with this ball, Rose's sudden move to the right caused most of Butler's defensive center of gravity to shift in this direction. Coupled with the urgency of the forward direction,
It is always easier to stop than to retreat, and Rose's braking speed was not slow. However, the scene he expected did not appear, and the opponent quickly re-attacked.
this……
Rose was a little stunned, but he spent too much time in this fight and could only force a shot, bang, and the shot went wide.
After the Lakers got the ball, Butler did not ask for the ball. Instead, he attracted the ball and gave it to the inside, allowing Tang Qian to break through facing the basket, causing the Bulls' inside defensive foul. He made 2 free throws and made 1 of 2 free throws.
"Why didn't you hit me?" Ross said angrily, "Are you scared?"
"I hit you to bully you. I just need to guard against your attack." The meaning of Butler's words is very obvious. He looks down on Rose's defense and thinks it is not difficult for him to fight. Rose is now in his eyes.
, only the offense was a threat. Rose was a little annoyed and asked for the ball again. This time he was much more serious than before, and the expression on his face also changed. He looked very impressive.
But Butler's face was indifferent and he was not moved at all.
One, two, three... Rose suddenly started, taking the first step very quickly. After seeing Butler's movement, he suddenly changed direction in front of his body. Then his center of gravity suddenly stopped on his right foot, instantly changing the direction of his body.
The center of gravity and direction during startup. This is a very classic passing movement, the scientific name is Pull.back. If used well, it can break through the incomprehensible. The key is one place, using the ankle to amplify the transfer of the center of gravity countless times. So
, long-term use will definitely cause a lot of damage to the ankle.
This move can be regarded as Rose's breakthrough move. He thought it was enough to break through the opponent's defense, but he was still entangled. Although Butler's center of gravity was shaken, he quickly adjusted it, opened his hands, and pressed hard
Rose, who lacks breakthrough acceleration, almost had to be physically challenged by Butler while dribbling. Also, how much does he weigh? What is Butler's current weight?
The 40-pound gap has long been a huge gap in the NBA. Butler is not the kind of weak guy with "high body fat". He is truly strong and has a strong body that has been developed through hard training. I don't like him for this.
People can't deny it. Butler's defense is very tough. And to attack his defense, it is not a particularly wise choice to break through and duel. After all, Butler is best at defensive breakthroughs and hard attacks. On the contrary,
As for his shooting skills, he is limited by his short arms and has a low upper limit. Unfortunately, Rose is now focused on breaking through and still has to break through his opponents one-on-one.
When he was at his peak, when he was in the MVP period, he did have this ability, and there was nothing wrong with it, but the question is... is he still the same person now? Is he the same person?
"You're slow." Butler's words are very heartbreaking. In fact, Rose feels this way about himself now, but he has never been willing to face this fact. He just feels that he is still recovering from injury, so as long as he is given time
, he can return to the top. He dare not think about a problem, maybe, he will never be able to return to the personal ability of the MVP season.
Breakthrough is naturally one of them.
Seeing the other person's appearance and expression, Ross felt a surge of anger burning in his chest.
Can't I beat him? He was just my follower back then! Impossible!
Rose burst out in anger, and his movements were not slow, but it was basically difficult to completely get past Butler. He only forcibly missed this ball when the attack time was about to end. And everyone also knows that Rose's three-point shooting is basically
He has never been very reliable. He has always been around 20%. This season, even his mid- and long-range baskets have dropped to above 36%, which is basically an unqualified level. You know, in his career
His mid-range and long-range shots exceeded 40%, which is already top-notch.
Therefore, let alone his decline, it is actually inevitable.
There are no three-pointers, and he has lost the accurate mid-range and long-range shots of the past. What he has left now is mid-range shots within 16 feet + breakthrough. He is now a little provoked by Butler and is angry, so he has given up on his own initiative.
The mid-range shooter just wanted to break through head-on and get rid of this guy to score. He let out a sigh of anger.
Such behavior is really unwise. He is no longer the peak Wind City Rose he was back then.
After another failed attempt, Tang Qian gave the ball to Butler. Butler laughed a little when he saw Rose taking the initiative to defend him. There was a lot in that smile, and he just played with the ball. There was nothing complicated about it.
The skill is to make a strong breakthrough after taking a tentative step, relying on your own strong body to overcome Rose's defense and finish the score.
A No. 1 position player with a height of 191cm and a weight of about 190 pounds has to defend a swingman who is 201cm tall and weighs nearly 230 pounds. This is really a bit of a death-defying feeling. Besides, since when did Rose become a defensive master and defend a strong player?
It's above average, so it's not bad. In this case, with such a huge physical disadvantage, do you think you dare to underestimate Butler, who is already averaging 20 points per game this season?
Rose was really going crazy. He ignored the coach's instructions and pushed directly from the backcourt, looking for Butler to attack. I don't know if he was too angry this time, but his speed was much faster than before.
When Rose thought he was about to make the ball, he found Butler behind him using his body to slow him down, and then he saw the basketball coming out of his hand being snapped by a big yellow hand in the air.
Then Rondo + Butler quickly hit the ball. After Rondo attracted the Bulls' defense with a breakthrough move, he passed the ball with his backhand and Butler held the ball with one hand and dunked. Boom~slam dunk~
The Bulls left Thibodeau and now they don't even have defense anymore. They may not look good in the past few seasons.
The chance of just running along is very high, and at most it will be an ordinary playoff team.
Gasol was a little helpless when he saw this. He was actually very optimistic about the Bulls at first, and felt that the slow pace and Thibodeau's style of play were more suitable for him. But what happened? After he came to the Bulls, he found that the locker room was a bit messy.
, there is also a Noah in the team who is hot and cold to him. Now he has injured a general, left the coach, and the slow-paced play has disintegrated... He is really speechless and choked.
Gasol is planning to leave after this season. He feels that the Bulls no longer have a foothold for him, and he has no chance of winning the championship if he continues to stay.
Because Rose's personal attack was unfavorable, the Bulls were in huge trouble in the first quarter.
