Chapter 435 Providing Protection! Pure Firepower Will Inevitably Lead to Defeat!

[Knicks 35:36 Bulls]

In the first quarter, setting aside defense, three MVP-caliber players joined forces to deliver a spectacular offensive show.

The fans were treated to a visual feast.

Next section.

First, there was a match between the substitutes.

The Bulls' strength this season is not only due to the growth of Rose, but also to the overall strength of the team.

On the bench.

The team boasts a formidable interior presence led by Taj Gibson, a versatile forward/guard like Ronnie Brewer on defense, CJ Watson for playmaking, and elite shooter Kyle Korver on offense.

It's a complete and powerful bench lineup.

While the Knicks do have Wilson Chandler and Paul George, who can hold their own against the bench players of other teams, they still have a chance.

But when they encountered the Bulls' gang of thugs, they were no match for them.

Korver hit a three-pointer, Gibson scored twice with strong attacks inside, and also blocked a shot by the inexperienced George who was driving to the basket.

The bull bandits attacked fiercely.

Rotate every 4 minutes.

The Bulls extended their lead from one point to six.

"Beep!"

Coach D'Antoni called a timeout.

He concentrated for a moment, "As expected of the top team in the East, the roster is really solid. Guys, from now on, we need to not only attack, but also defend."

Especially Rose; if we can effectively limit him, we can quickly take control of the court.

"Okay, coach."

"Understood, Commander!"

Not a moment.

The pause ends.

Both teams' starting lineups have returned.

Tyson tried to score against Noah one-on-one under the basket... but to no avail.

Boozer protected the rim and passed to Rose for a fast break, with Tony Allen on the wing chasing after him without stopping.

Right side arc top.

He successfully forced Rose to stop, forcing the Bulls to retreat.

Rose glanced at Luol Deng cutting in from the side and decisively passed the ball to him.

Attack the basket directly?!

Think more.

Su Yan was always following on the wing, seemingly just a step behind, but in reality, his defense was constantly covering Luol Deng.

"We can't take it."

Luol Deng rushed in, feeling immense defensive pressure, and in a panic, passed the ball back to Rose.

"Whoosh!"

He caught the ball and rushed out, then suddenly changed direction without slowing down, shaking off Tony Allen.

"too exaggerated!"

Tony Allen, frozen in place, felt a chill run down his spine.

He was playing with 120% focus on defense, anticipated Rose's change of direction, and chased after him immediately.

But... I just can't keep up.

How can you follow someone who changes direction without slowing down?!

Tony Allen was in a real bind.

"Let me defend!"

Su Yan knew that Tony Allen couldn't guard Rose, so he switched to defend him.

"Ok."

Tony Allen didn't try to be a hero; he switched to guard Bogans, defending the players he could handle.

then.

Next round.

"tread!"

Rose and Su Yan are now officially matched up against each other.

"boom!"

The audience suddenly became restless.

Fans have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Last season, fans enjoyed watching the two face off, and this season, both have become stronger, so they are facing off again.

How could I not look forward to it!

"Su Yan, are you ready to get blasted to pieces?!"

Ross growled.

Su Yan smiled faintly, "Bring it on! I could beat you last season, and I can beat you this season too!"

"Don't be too confident!"

Rose smiled confidently.

sound off.

Ross rushed out. Since it was Liberation Day, since it was a day of indulgence, he would go all out.

He knew very well that if he didn't develop his physical abilities to their fullest potential, he had absolutely no chance of defeating Su Yan!

"Whoosh!"

"Stab!"

Rose used the change of direction without slowing down once again.

Su Yan?!

Even someone as strong as Su Yan couldn't keep up.

Rose shook off Su Yan as if he had shaken off Tony Allen, and rushed to the right low post.

"Stab!"

He pulled up for a jump shot.

A shot with a distance of more than one body length, and it was so solid?!

"Snapped!"

It's not stable at all.

The basketball had barely left Rose's hands when it was slapped into the stands.

who? !

Who else could it be but Su Yan?

"WHY?!"

Ross was shocked and puzzled.

He clearly got past him, and there was such a big difference in body position, so why was he still able to catch up and block the shot?!

The reason is simple.

Rose is 191 cm tall, has a wingspan of 203 cm, and a maximum vertical jump of 101 cm.

This is an extremely abnormal physical condition.

However... Su Yan's height of 201 cm, wingspan of 211 cm, and vertical jump of 113 cm are even more monstrous.

He completely outclassed Rose in every aspect.

Even if Rose manages to get past Su Yan by changing direction without slowing down, and create distance between them...

Su Yan was still able to catch up and stop him thanks to his overwhelming talent advantage.

That's Derrick Rose, after all.

Su Yan's talent completely surpasses his?!

Correct.

Rose's talent is explosive, but Su Yan's is even more explosive.

Out of bounds.

There are 9.7 seconds left on the shot clock.

Rose regained possession of the ball and, unwilling to give up, once again attempted to break through Su Yan's defense.

It's still "changing direction without slowing down".

Even if Su Yan could predict it, he really couldn't catch up immediately and could only chase and defend from behind.

Rose was more cautious and didn't directly attack the basket with brute force.

Instead... he made a layup.

it works?

A little bit of help, but not much.

Su Yan chased after him but failed to block the shot. However... the interference was huge, and Rose's layup completely changed direction.

"Bang!"

The iron popped out.

Rose twice shook off his defender, and both seemingly sure-fire offensive plays ended in failure.

"hiss……"

Luol Deng's lips twitched. "Is this the defensive ability of a DPOY?"

"Terrible!"

Boozer swallowed the cheer that was about to come out again, his eyes flashing with horror: "Derrick has grown remarkably this year."

In this league, there are very few players who can stop him one-on-one; perhaps only a defensive monster like him could do it.

"We can't fight like this!"

Noah paused for a moment, "Basketball is not a one-man game, nor does winning a one-on-one match mean victory."

Guys, we need to protect Ross.

This allows him to consistently have comfortable offensive opportunities, or to connect with the team and create chances for us to score.

That way, winning will be easier.

Noah was speaking to Lor Dunn and Boozer.

"learn."

"clear."

The two understood each other.

They have been playing like this all season, and it has been very effective, defeating strong opponents and winning all the way!

Noah (211cm) + Boozer (206cm) + Lor Deng (206cm)

The Bulls' three big men are capable of defense, offense, rim protection, and also have some playmaking ability on the wings.

These three players provided support for Derrick Rose, the "Windy City Rose," in his MVP year, creating a powerful chemistry.

That's what makes the Bulls so powerful.

Rose was no naiveté; as a third-year player, his playing style was unusually steady, and the team crumbled in two possessions.

He bypassed Su Yan.

As long as we can win, any method is acceptable.

With the three big men protecting him, Rose started scoring consistently and connecting the team effectively.

This is the Bulls' winning rhythm.

But... can Rose really win against Su Yan by just attacking alone and relying on pure firepower?
