236: Worthless Magic
Entering the league in 2008, he entered the All-Star Championship in the second grade. He became the All-Star in the third grade, won the regular season MVP, and was selected as the best team.
There is only one young man in history who can achieve such achievements. Derek Ross, who carries the hope of the Chicago Bulls revival. People long for him to become the second Michael Jordan-like figure and open a new chapter in the Bull Dynasty.
As it turns out, Ross did it. Last season, he was the first in the Eastern Conference and led the Bulls to the Eastern Conference Finals as a sophomore, and eventually lost to the experienced Big Three. Although he failed to reach the finals in the end, it was already very difficult for a third-year team to bring the team to this level.
When James was in the third grade, the Cavaliers couldn't even pass the Eastern Conference semifinals. When Kobe was in the third grade, not many people thought he would become a superstar.
As for the youngest mvp, no one has ever done it.
The Bulls have also had a very good record this season, with 3 wins and 0 losses!
In the opening game, Ross defeated the Lakers, and Ross contributed a decisive victory in front of Kobe.
In the second game against the King, Ross easily pressed the same amazing Tyrek Evans under his feet.
In the third game against the Clippers, Ross even produced an exaggerated double-double data of 29 points and 16 assists! Griffin and Paul combined are not as dazzling as Ross!
So in this game on January 1, 2012, most people are more optimistic about the Bulls being able to win. Because Ross is really too strong!
Is Link magical enough? It's amazing. He entered the league with a undraft, won the rookie MVP, and won the best of the month. Last season, he also entered the Western Conference Finals with the team without being optimistic. He defended the scoring champion in the playoffs 3 of 14.
But a sentence from the local media in Chicago said, "Link's magic is insignificant compared to Derek Rose's magic!"
As always, Link doesn't care what the Chicago media says about him. It is normal for local media to look to local players, so there is no need to tear them.
Compared to who is more magical than himself or Rose, Link is more concerned about who is secretly shaving!
After Randolph woke up in the hotel, he was about to clean up the stubble on his face, and Link immediately appeared at the door of the toilet, "Zac, you can't break the rules of the game."
After dinner, Tony Allen was about to go to the bathroom to shave, but Link pressed it down, "Steal the shave, Tony."
Link is like a "ghost". As long as someone has the idea or plan to shave his beard, he will appear immediately.
The Grizzlies players were all amused and crying. What if the Grizzlies really didn't make it into the top four in the West in the end, what should I do?
Under Link's strict supervision, the Grizzlies players gave up their intention of "cheating". So on the day of the game on January 1, when the Grizzlies players appeared on the basketball court, Kevin Harlan, who was responsible for commenting on the game today, almost laughed out loud, "Why are the Grizzlies players all like homeless people?"
Link is the kind of person who has a slower beard, so it has no effect on him if he doesn't shave for two days.
But for some Grizzlies players, not shaving for two days is enough to make them significantly change.
Gasol Jr. is one of the representatives of vigorous hair. Now he has long hair and a stubborn face, and looks no different from the homeless man on the streets of Chicago.
Guy has never liked to grow a beard very much and has always shown himself as a handsome image. But today, the stubble on his face has made him feel a little more vicissitudes of life.
Link was quite proud when he saw his "masterpiece". I believe that in a month, the overall image of the Grizzlies players will undergo a major change.
On the court, the Grizzlies players were still teasing each other's funny appearance of not shaving their beards.
But when the Chicago Bulls players also appeared and warmed up, all the jokes stopped instantly. Everyone on the Grizzlies knew that when facing this opponent, you must keep focused, and you must keep focused from the beginning of the warm-up!
"The Bulls players also appeared to warm up. Today's game has a lot of highlights. Bulls' defense vs Grizzlies' defense, magical Rose vs. magical Link. The second highlight has made fans talk about it. Chicago media once said before the game that Link's magical magic is worthless in front of Rose's magical game. What do you think about this?" Before the game started, Kevin Harlan began to fan the flames very skillfully.
"I think both are very great. Link can achieve today's achievements as a undraft. As the No. 1 pick in the draft, Ross has surpassed the No. 1 pick, which is not easy. Unfortunately, we may not be able to see Ross and Link playing against each other today."
That's right, Link won't play against Rose today, because the Grizzlies finally welcomed Mike Conley back, and Hollins no longer has to worry about the number one issue. Link can also play his swinger peacefully, and he only needs to help Conley with the attack a little.
But for fans, if Link and Rose face each other, it might make the game more exciting.
After the warm-up, the head coaches of both sides began to make final arrangements on the sidelines. This highly anticipated game is about to start!
"There are usually no grudges between the Eastern and Western teams unless they have played in the Finals. But the Bulls and the Grizzlies are very special. They have never met in the playoffs in history, but both sides are very eager for victory for each other. After all, the Grizzlies never beat the Bulls last season. I believe that the Grizzlies players will not allow this record to continue this year."
It is indeed not easy for the Grizzlies to win the Bulls.
As the Eastern Conference regular season champion and playoff runner-up, the Bulls have always been the Heat's biggest rival to the Eastern Conference. Thibodeau has created an unbreakable defensive system for this team. The defensive chain composed of Noah, Gibson, Asik, Brewer, Lore Deng and others is enough to hire a Grizzlies.
As for offensive end, Derek Ross is the MVP of last season. He is only 23 years old and will only get better this year. Last season, Ross averaged only 4 free throws in front of the All-Star game, 8 after the All-Star game, and 8.4 in the playoffs. This means that Ross will use free throws more to create damage in the new season, so that his offense is more efficient. So far this season, Ross has averaged 6.1 free throws per game, which is not small.
Moreover, this year, the Bulls also introduced the "Mask Man" Hamilton, so the Bulls' biggest weakness has been supplemented. So strictly speaking, the Bulls' strength has increased this year.
"You must be patient on the offensive end. The Bulls' defense is very strong. If you are anxious, we won't get a single point!" Off the court, Hollins seemed very excited.
As a defensive coach, he naturally wants to get a good wrestle with Thibodeau, who is also obsessed with defense. There are various reasons for losing to the Bulls last season. But if he loses, he will not defend himself.
