1539 Windy City Rose, Blooms Again
In this case, no one seems to be able to step forward.
Seeing that there were only two minutes left in the third quarter.
D'Antoni said to Mane on the bench: "Mane, get ready to play."
Now it's time for Ross to take a rest.
Although Rose is old and has lost his foot speed and other aspects, so he is not good at offense and defense, his control over the team's offensive rhythm is unmatched by young players.
As long as he is around, at least the team will not make so many low-level mistakes.
When Rose came off the court, D'Antoni really couldn't imagine that the Lakers would quickly close the gap and take the lead.
But this is reality.
So when the ball was dead, D'Antoni was ready to replace Rose.
But Rose glanced at Wang Yi, who was resting on the floor: "Coach, I can hold on for a while longer."
D'Antoni was a little surprised.
When Rose came to the Kings this season, he always played in a very healthy way.
When it comes time for him to take a break, he will never hesitate, he must take a break.
Everyone understands that we are old comrades after all.
If the old comrade's body is taxed too much, he will be easily injured.
Today, in this fierce playoff competition, he took the initiative to ask for extended playing time.
This is indeed a bit strange.
D'Antoni looked at Rose's knee.
Because Rose suffered serious knee injuries many times when he was young, he always has knee problems when he is old, and as long as he plays for a little longer, his knees will be sore the next day.
"Are you sure?"
D'Antoni asked.
Ross nodded and glanced at Wang Yi lying on the floor:
"If there's any game in this series that we have the best chance to win, it's tonight."
D'Antoni pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, if you want to end the game anytime, just tell me anytime."
Ross nodded again.
After Patton on the opposite side returned to the field, Rose was still on the court. He couldn't help but taunted:
"The Kings really have no one available. They let an old guy who is about to go to his grave stand up on the court. Old guy, be careful with your legs. If I accidentally hurt you, I will not be responsible."
Ross glanced at the guy and didn't immediately fight back.
Instead, he used Danny's cover to dribble to the right.
He took two steps, then turned his head to look at Danny. At the same time, he raised the ball in his right hand slightly, as if he was going to pass the ball to Danny.
Button, who was guarding him, saw him and jumped directly in the direction of the pass to steal it.
However, Rose's move was just a fake move. Seeing the guy pounce, he dribbled the ball unhurriedly and reached the mid-range.
Then he jumped up slightly without any defense and hit a mid-range shot.
He turned around and glanced at Barton.
Although his speed, strength, jumping and other aspects have deteriorated, it is not easy to play with such a young man.
The Lakers didn't react at all to Rose's mid-range shot.
Rose's mid-range shots only occasionally come in one or two during the game, and they don't affect the trend of the game at all.
Looking back, Patton broke into the paint and dunked successfully.
After scoring the goal, he turned his head, looked directly at Rose, and raised his chin:
"Did you see that, old guy? This is called a goal, this is called an offense!"
Ross still glanced at the guy.
A trace of fighting spirit gradually appeared in his eyes.
In fact, Rose's fighting spirit has never been extinguished.
Life goes on and the fight goes on.
But as he grew older, his fighting spirit receded from his face and was hidden deep in his heart.
Became a little spark.
Although the spark seems to have been extinguished, in fact only he himself knows that he is still eager to fight.
Just waiting for the opportunity.
During today's game, Rose felt that his physical condition was very good.
It was better than any previous game. His back no longer hurts and his knees are no longer sore.
Then he knew that the time had come.
After arriving in the frontcourt, facing Button's defense, he called a screen.
Tours, who was on the inside, immediately went to the line and set a single screen for him.
Using this screen, Rose got rid of Patton and came to the free throw line.
Before the thick eyebrows inside could catch him, he made another emergency stop to take action.
The basketball hit steadily again.
He hit two goals in a row. Although it was rare, it happened occasionally, so it did not arouse the alarm of the Lakers.
Their attention is all on the offensive end at this time.
They hit a three-pointer from the outside with thick eyebrows, chasing the point difference to only 10 points.
Looking back, Rose once again used Tours' single screen to hit a mid-range shot.
At this time, the Lakers coach finally felt a sense of alarm in his heart.
He said to their thick eyebrows: "If Tours continues to provide him with cover, you should guard against it and change whenever you get a cover."
Thick eyebrows nodded.
So this time when Tours was covering for Rose, his thick eyebrows were put on to defend himself in front of Rose.
Seeing his thick eyebrows rising in defense, Ross took a step back.
He waved to the others, telling them to pull away.
He wants to use the small one to make the big eyebrow thick.
The others immediately pulled away.
Rose dribbled the ball outside the three-point line, first slowly changing the direction of his hips.
Now he is no longer able to change directions without slowing down as he did when he was young.
Now it is difficult for him to even think about being alone.
But if the small one beats the big one, he still has a chance to excel.
His thick eyebrows were unambiguous, and he spread his legs to defend himself in front of Rose.
Rose's crotch changes direction gradually becomes faster and faster, and at the same time he adds shoulder shaking and other movements, trying to use the rhythm to get rid of the thick eyebrows.
But his movement speed is still a bit slow.
There is absolutely no way to get rid of thick eyebrows.
In desperation, he shook his head and waved to Bond inside.
At the same time, he pointed at the feet of his thick eyebrows.
It means asking Bond to come back and cover for him.
The thick eyebrow turned his head subconsciously and looked at Bond.
And the moment he turned back, he suddenly heard the sound of a basketball hitting the ground from under his crotch. He quickly looked down and saw that the ball had passed through his crotch.
He realized something was wrong and quickly turned around.
But Rose had come to his side.
He quickly used his body to reach Carlos's position, but it was too late.
Rose got the ball behind his thick eyebrows.
Before the opponent's center came up, he took another mid-range shot.
The basketball hit the board at a 45-degree angle on the right side and slid into the basket accurately.
At this moment, all the spectators at the Golden No. 1 Center were dancing with excitement.
James and Wade even excitedly high-fived each other.
"Oh, no, crotch-crossing! Derrick Rose! It's really unimaginable!"
"Hit four mid-range shots in a row and scored 8 points in a row in two minutes!"
"Tonight, the roses of Windy City will bloom again!"
Chapter completed!
