The Way of the Center

Chapter 118: : The Rookie's War (1)

"Boom boom boom..." In the training ground of the United Center Arena, the sound of the impact between the basketball and the floor has not stopped since 2o.

A sturdy man dribbled the ball quickly on the basketball court. In an undiminished state, he passed three dummies and then broke into the free throw line. Then he stopped and jumped high. , Shooting shots.

"Swipe." The sweet sound of basketball entering the net is what this man wants in return most.

Looking at the basket with a smile, the guy picked up the basketball on the ground again, repeating the action just now.

The O'Brien Cups in the Bulls showroom are what this young man desires most. He failed to complete his dream of winning the championship when he was in college. After entering nBa, he must create his own brilliance.

Thinking of this, he actually speeded up a little bit. With such explosive power, few people in the entire nBa alliance can match it.

"Derek! Go! There will be a game tomorrow!" Outside the training field, Bulls coach Pooh Denagro shouted to Rose, who was still sweating.

The point guard of the Spurs in the 90s has now changed his identity. Like Rose, Danagro is the first time he has played in the nBa arena as a coach. In a sense, they are both rookies. .

But the power of these two rookies is beyond people's imagination, with 19 wins and 2 losses, this result is already ranked in the top eight in the East.

"The last group!" Ross, wearing a black tight training vest, did not stop his steps, still changing directions crazy, breaking through, making emergency stops, and jumping shots. Hasn't his shooting been criticized all the time, then practice until the group of people shut up!

Denagro shook his head, but smiled. Although some players have awe-inspiring talents, they rely on talents for their entire lives. In addition to talents, this o8 year champion is also more diligent than others.

"Ann! How is your injury!" Before entering the locker room, the reporters surrounded An Jie.

"No problem, no problem, am I not good."

"So far, Derek Rose, oJ Mayo, Russell Westbrook and you, the four of you are considered candidates for this year’s rookie of the year. Do you think that in this game, your Can the performance be better than the two backcourt players Westbrook and Rose?" The biggest highlight of this game is undoubtedly the head-on confrontation between the three best rookies! When I was in college, reporters all wanted to know whether Anjie, who was in the Big Twelve League, could prevent Ross from attacking. Now, this scene is finally about to take place.

"I will go all out, and everything will be the goal of the team's victory." An Jie never thought about personal honor. Unlike Stoudemire, he was very much to Yao Ming in order to compete with Yao Ming for the best rookie. See you soon. This game has nothing to do with the best rookie game in Anjie's mind, and some are just the winning or losing between the teams.

"An Jie, tell me about your new style, do you plan to be as tough as your new look?" Seeing this reporter, An Jie finally smiled. There is no doubt that this reporter is Wu Hua of the "Sports Pioneer" .

"Of course, I think I look more fierce now. I'm not just talking about appearance." An Jie also seemed very relaxed only when he answered Wu Hua.

The exquisite bronze statue stands at the door, the huge No. 23 jersey is hung on the ceiling of the United Center Arena, and the six nBa champion pennants are directly above the jersey.

Derek Rose raised his head and stared at these things in fascination. Although it was not the first time he saw him, every time he longed for himself to be there one day. Now, the whole Chicago puts hope on Rose, hoping that he can reproduce the legend created on the 23rd.

Suddenly, there was a boo in the United Center arena. Rose took back his thoughts and looked to the sidelines. It turned out that it was the Thunder team wearing a blue jersey.

Rose's eyes naturally fell on the three peers, guard, forward, and center. It was an interesting combination. The O and No. 16 wearing a headband are his biggest opponents this season.

Defeating them, proving that you are the best rookie this year, and wanting to create brilliance, this is undoubtedly the first step that must be done now! The team's head forward Lor Deng missed due to injury, which just gave Rose a chance to perform.

"Before people have been discussing, Westbrook or Derek Rose, who is stronger, today, all questions will be solved." Espn's commentary also captured the highlight of this game.

"Don't forget that the Thunder also has An Jie, who has returned from injury. That lanky center will be a big obstacle to Rose's offensive road!"

Yes, for Rose, this game will be a double challenge!

The ball jumps in the middle circle, and now the person watching An Jie is the Bulls center this season, Tyrus Thomas.

Although the height is only 2 meters o6, An Jie did not dare to neglect at all. The guy who was selected with the fourth pick in o6 is a typical spring man. He can use his bounce to make up for his height disadvantage.

Sure enough, when the referee threw the ball into the air, Tyrus Thomas jumped! Whether it is the bounce or the height of the bounce, it is very surprising! Jumping together, his hands are almost level with An Jie!

However, An Jie still relied on a slight advantage of one or two centimeters to shoot the basketball away. Westbrook directly received the basketball from An Jie. He immediately raised it, and as soon as the match opened, he smashed with Derek Rose!

Westbrook’s sudden attack caused many Bulls players to fail to respond. Only Derrick Rose, who had been staring at him, saw Westbrook’s intentions. He quickly blocked them and forced them to raise. Westbrook stopped.

"Damn it!" Westbrook's physical fitness is quite abnormal in the first position. After playing so many nBa games, he has not met a few opponents who can withstand his own impact, but Derek Rose has succeeded. The resistance blocked Westbrook's breakthrough.

Westbrook found that this guy is far stronger than he expected, and it can be said to be on par with himself. Now that the Bulls players have fallen into defensive positions, Westbrook has also given up his plans for singles. He doesn't want to make the kind of mistakes Durant made when facing Anthony.

Anjie ran to the tactical position, Westbrook made an easy pass, and Jeff Van Gundy's positional attack started.

Durant and Westbrook moved aggressively, while Rose and Ben Gordon followed them nervously.

However, all of this is just a smoke bomb. The real offensive point arranged by Jeff Van Gundy is actually already holding the ball!

Tyrus Thomas obviously paid more attention to Durant and Westbrook. He put An Jie a few steps in order to be able to quickly make up the defense back to the penalty area and complete the shot.

This amazing bounce guy is very active defensively, and he can send out one or two spectacular high-altitude adventures in every game.

An Jie raised his hand, he was about to pass outside of Thomas, and immediately looked at Westbrook and Durant to find out who the guy was going to cut inside.

Unexpectedly, An Jie didn't pass the ball at all after lifting the ball, but shot it directly! After reacting, Thomas had no time to take off. He could only take a big step forward and then raised his hands to interfere.

But how can he make up for the huge height gap by raising his hands? An Jie's shot was not disturbed at all. He easily made a hit in front of Thomas and scored the first point since the start of the game.

Rose followed Westbrook and ran two laps around the three-point line, only to find that everything he did was wasted. If the attacker is Anjie, there is not much Rose can do.

"Coach Jeff Van Gundy's intentions are very clear. When Durant and Westbrook came up, they were just feints. Coach Van Gundy wanted Anjie to make a fuss about the weak inside line of the Bulls! And An, also used practical actions. It proves that there is no problem with his current health."

Although the first goal was achieved, Anjie and Westbrook have not yet relaxed their tight nerves. Because Derrick Rose, wearing the white number one jersey, has already taken possession of the ball and attacked the Thunder's hinterland!

Bulls power forward Drew Gooden mentioned that he would go to the high position to play the pick-and-roll with Rose. Gooden’s range can extend beyond the three-point line. It is simply a suitable choice for him to do the high-position pick-and-roll.

Anjie has been getting rid of the entanglement with Thomas, if Rose succeeds in breaking through, then he must immediately make up for the position.

Rose is still some distance from the three-point line, this distance is reserved for the sprint.

Seeing Gooden's pick and roll in place, Rose suddenly started! For an instant, Westbrook felt Rose hit him!

Before he could react, Westbrook could only subconsciously move in the direction of the pick-and-roll. Unexpectedly, Rose suddenly deformed and flashed past Westbrook.

The unabated change of direction broke through, tricking Westbrook into getting entangled with the pick-and-roll Gooden, while Rose easily broke through from another direction.

An Jie immediately pushed away Tyrus Thomas' arm and made up his defense to the basket. As soon as he was in place, Rose had already killed him in.

"This guy may be faster than Russell!" An Jie's teammate Westbrook is already lightning fast, but Rose's rapid breakthrough still surprised An Jie.

Ross took off to meet An Jie, with no intention of avoiding it at all. An Jie is not slow to react. He wants to prevent Rose’s layup without fouling~www.NovelMTL.com~ An Jie and Rose met in the air. Although thin but strong, An Jie still let Rose do it. The whole movement is deformed.

Unexpectedly, Rose retracted the high basketball to the position of the abdomen, curled up in the air to avoid the block, and rose again to stretch out his body to complete a beautiful low hand basket.

"Continuously changing his posture in the air! Rose escaped Anjie's defense! He broke the toughest barrier of the Thunder as soon as he came on the court!" All the commentators and fans had to score for this wonderful goal. And cheers.

The timing of the jump was right and no foul was committed, but An Jie did not expect that he still failed to cover Rose's layup. Changing postures and movements in the air is unimaginable for An Jie, a center forward.

Anjie hit the Bulls by a surprise with a mid-range shot, and Rose responded with a beautiful layup!

Why can I be the champion? That's not because the scouts are blind.

The competition between the three top rookies in the league has been very hot from the beginning! (To be continued.) 8
