Chapter 145 Roses are only beautiful when they bloom continuously!
Out of bounds.
Possession returned to the Bulls, with only 4.4 seconds remaining.
"You couldn't keep up with me at first, but how come you've been able to block my shots repeatedly after just a short while?!"
Ross was puzzled.
He went even further and asked the question directly.
Su Yan patted his chest and laughed, "Because I'm strong."
It's powerful enough to be very effective on the basketball court, and it's equally effective on the NBA court.
"nonsense!"
Ross refused to believe it, "There are too many strong guys who have been blown past by me and become my background."
The essential.
You couldn't defend against me at all from the start!
That's right.
Strength is one aspect, but jumping ability and wingspan are also crucial factors.
but.
Su Yan was too lazy to explain in detail.
He shrugged and teased, "Drake, you should take the easy way out. Do you only feel happy if I say I didn't defend properly before?"
???
Impossible, absolutely impossible! ! !
Upon hearing this, Ross felt even more distressed, but... he couldn't find a reason to refute it.
His apprehension towards Su Yan suddenly increased.
With one quarter remaining, Su Yan's dominance over Rose in the third quarter allowed the Knicks to win by 8 points.
The last section.
Rose decisively avoided Su Yan and went to play against the rest of the Knicks players.
When he chose to avoid Su Yan, he had already lost three points in morale, and Rose was only a sophomore at the time.
His finishing efficiency and clutch ability are still developing.
The style of play is undeniably entertaining; every successful attack is like a highlight reel.
However, it falls short in terms of efficiency.
It's like... "White Chocolate" Jason Williams, his highlights are all amazing shots.
Even "passing masters" like Nash, Paul, and Kidd can't compare.
In reality... White Chocolate's popularity and reputation are far inferior to those of the others.
The reason is.
The highlights show no mistakes, but in reality... White Chocolate's passes were too extreme; while brilliant, they also had a very high error rate.
most of the time.
Of ten passes, two or three are brilliant, and the rest are mistakes. This has a greater negative impact on the team.
Rose too.
His offensive skills are amazing, but there are still many immature off-the-basket layups and inconsistent mid-range shots.
On the other hand, the Knicks.
Su Yan is very steady in this respect; with his maxed-out three-point attack, he is almost certain to win whenever he gets the chance.
Curry isn't a player who's in a rush to show off.
Emphasis should be placed on stability and efficiency.
David Lee and Tyson, both playing the role of excellent blue-collar workers, diligently performed their duties under the basket.
The team atmosphere is great.
That team has a higher offensive efficiency, which is something... the Bulls can't match right now.
One to two to go.
The Knicks held a 10-point lead until the very end, and the Bulls failed to mount a comeback.
The Knicks ultimately defeated the Bulls by 8 points.
Victory in the Christmas battle.
After the game.
Su Yan and Ross embraced.
Ross gave a thumbs up and said, "Strong, high jump, and other physical talents are not bad either."
You also have advantages in height and wingspan.
Ignoring everything and forcing my way through your defense was definitely not the right choice, and it's normal that I got blocked.
Yoho~
How did you suddenly have an epiphany?
Su Yan smiled and nodded, "Yes, Derek needs to rush in to bring out his talent advantage."
and so.
You need to make good use of your teammates' screens to create space for accelerated attacks; that will make your offense much more effective.
Said it right.
Next year, Ross, in his third year, will have undergone another rapid evolution.
With the support of Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer, and Joakim Noah, the team quickly rose to the top of the Eastern Conference.
He also snatched the MVP award from LeBron James, becoming the youngest MVP in NBA history.
The principle of success lies here.
"Hmm~"
Derek blinked and snorted arrogantly, "Don't underestimate me just because you're a rookie. What you say makes some sense, but... I'm not going to listen to you."
"Take it or leave it."
Su Yan rolled his eyes at him, then stared at Rose and said seriously, "Derrick, your breakthroughs are sharp, your dunks are powerful, and your playing style is gorgeous!"
but.
I think it's making a mountain out of a molehill.
What I mean is... you have great talent, and you have plenty of other simple ways to score and help the team win.
I think overly aggressive and extreme offense is best used in crucial moments, for making key plays.
Ross might be a little confused by what Su Yan said.
Because... he is healthy, he plays very well, he receives a lot of applause, and his fan base is growing rapidly.
It looks perfectly fine.
Su Yan wanted to remind him that such physical harm could easily lead to injury, but she couldn't say it outright, otherwise it would seem like she was cursing someone.
That's the only way to put it.
The roses are in bloom, truly beautiful.
It's truly a pity that the roses have withered.
Su Yan wasn't a fan of Ross, but... he once saw a scene on TV that deeply touched him.
When Rose won the MVP in his third year, Westbrook was still the Thunder's second option and couldn't make the All-Star team, and Harden was just a reserve player.
Curry is still playing second fiddle to Ellis on the Warriors, DeRozan is still unwanted, and George is just a defensive specialist for the Pacers.
That's right.
When Rose had already shone in the league, becoming a superstar and being designated as the new face of the league for the future.
These future leaders of the small ball era can only look up to him.
In just a few years, these exceptionally talented players have all grown into giants in their respective fields.
This is normal.
In theory, Rose should have already reached the top and become the face of the league, and is still a player one or even several levels above them.
The fact is.
He was utterly ruined by the demons of injury and illness.
He fell from grace, wandered from place to place, and was even unable to play for a time, which was very miserable!
Time came to 2021.
In a game between the Knicks and the Warriors, Curry hit a three-pointer, surpassing Ray Allen to officially become the "all-time leader in three-pointers".
At the Knicks Arena.
The crowd erupted in applause, and away fans rose to their feet to celebrate Curry's milestone moment.
The NBA paused the game to allow Curry, who was standing in the center of the court, to fully enjoy the moment.
Curry deserves it.
However... observant people will notice.
While the Knicks players were resting on the bench, Rose stood alone on the sidelines, clapping for Curry and smiling as he celebrated.
This applause shows that Ross is a person of impeccable character, and heroes appreciate each other.
but.
A hint of dejection and resentment could be clearly seen in his smile.
What was he thinking?
He was thinking... I once had those applause too.
He was thinking... I was once a man who stood at the top.
He was thinking... I was also someone who once gave fans endless fantasies.
He was thinking... I envy Curry, and I also envy my past self!!!
Many people may not know that Curry and Rose are the same age.
Derrick Rose once shone brightly in the league.
Curry is shining in the league today.
Flowers may bloom again, but youth never returns!
