The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 257 256. The hope after 14 years... (4K words for monthly ticket)

After returning from the second half, even though the current situation on the court is already very unfavorable, the Bulls have no intention of giving up at all.

Since missing the playoffs last season, the current young Bulls have also returned to the playoffs under the leadership of new head coach De Nagro.

Although in the end, they barely got on the last train of the playoffs, but for this young Bulls, the desire to win and the team culture they showed this season far surpassed the record itself.

So at this moment, even if the outside media are generally not optimistic about the prospects of the Bulls, and during the game, the Bulls have indeed been suppressed by the Magic.

But that still can't suppress the Bulls' desire to take the game seriously.

Even in the Bulls' unstoppable second half, the Magic failed to open the score in the first place, and the situation on the field fell into a tug-of-war scene.

And this situation is obviously unacceptable to head coach Stan Van Gundy.

After all, the Magic this season is aiming to win the championship. If they stumble even when facing the Bulls, then there may be some troubles in the next game.

However, although Stan Van Gundy is quite confident about this game, after many lineup rotations, the point difference on the court has been hovering around 10 points.

There is neither a shrinking trend nor a widening trend, as if it is like this, caught in an invisible tug-of-war.

The occurrence of this situation also caused Stan Van Gundy to dare not win the main lineup in advance for training.

After all, although the ten-point difference is indeed not small, in this stage of the playoffs, no team has dared to relax its vigilance at this stage.

So as the game continued on the court, this also made Stan Van Gundy more and more dissatisfied off the court.

Originally, with the disparity in strength between the two sides, Van Gundy just wanted to end the game quickly, so that the main players could get more rest time.

Because even if the results of this round of the series are too disparate, the Magic will need at least four games to complete the promotion.

So during this period of time, Van Gundy certainly hopes that the main players can get more rest time.

After all, for the Magic, which is determined to hit the finals this season, the journey to the playoffs has only just begun.

In the future, the team will fall into an endless tug-of-war. It can be said that in the playoffs, any loss and preservation of physical strength may directly affect the final trend of the game.

This is the main reason why Van Gundy always wants to make a quick decision and liberate the main players to rest as soon as possible.

However, as the score on the field has been unable to open, the entire Bulls are still trying their best to grit their teeth and persist.

In this case, Van Gundy can only keep the main players on the court to ensure that the score will not be further reduced.

In the end, as the two teams went all out, with more than three minutes before the end of the game, the head coach De Nagro, who saw that the game was completely hopeless, took the lead in replacing the main lineup to ensure the health of the players on the field.

And when Stan Van Gundy saw the substitution on the Bulls side, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Because this also means that the game can finally be completely settled.

"Coach, I think we still have a chance. I want to continue playing on the court. I think we can fight again. I don't want to just give up this game."

"And you told us that even if we know the final result of the game, we still can't give up on this process."

Seeing that there were still three and a half minutes on the court at this time, the Bulls fell behind by a full 13 points.

Derrick Rose still said to coach De Nagro with a face of unwillingness.

For Derrick Rose, Denagro is his first head coach after entering the NBA league, and it can be said that he is the enlightenment mentor on his career path.

With the joint efforts of many players, the Bulls this season finally returned to the ranks of the playoffs.

So even though the Bulls don't have much time left at this moment and are still behind by a full 13 points, Derrick Rose is still unwilling to give up voluntarily.

Because as head coach De Nagro said before, even though the results of this round of the series are already very obvious, Derrick Rose still wants to get the respect of the opponent through his own efforts.

The most important thing is that even if the Bulls really lost to the Magic in this round of the series, in Derrick Rose's heart, he never thought that he lost to Su Jiu.

I don't think the team really lost this round, because compared to the stable and mature Orlando Magic in all aspects, the Bulls are still very young, and they still have the opportunity to create their own brilliance.

But seeing head coach De Nagro give up the game so easily, even though the Bulls have very little chance of making a comeback in this game, it still makes Rose feel a little sad.

"Hehe, Derek, from the day I actually coached you, I knew that you would be able to achieve something in the future."

"However, I hope you can remember that sometimes giving up does not mean that we are cowardly, but it is just for us to become better in the next match."

"Since this game is doomed to lose, I can't bet on your health."

"Because in this time frame, there's really no need to take that risk."

"So don't have any emotions. If you really feel unwilling, then I hope you can prove it to me with practical actions in the next game, instead of standing here to impress yourself like you are now."

After hearing what head coach De Nagro said, Derrick Rose still wanted to say something.

But when the whole person raised his head again, he saw De Nagro's slightly relieved eyes, and the thousand words turned into a slight nod in the end.

"Well, yes, Coach!"

On the court side, after the garbage time competition on the court ended, in the end, the Magic also succeeded at home with:

107:91

A 16-point victory over the Chicago Bulls.

While scoring a good start for his playoffs this season, he also rewritten the total score of this round of the series as:

1:0

After the game, the Bulls also hugged the Magic team under the leadership of head coach De Nagro.

Especially when Derrick Rose hugged Su Jiu after the game, the corners of Rose's eyes were obviously a little wet.

Even though he has led the team well enough this season, losing in the first round of the playoffs still made Derrick Rose feel a little sad.

"Hey Derek, you've done a great job, seriously, you're a genius."

"Now the outside world's evaluation of me is described as a talented player, but in my opinion, you are a real genius."

"Don't be discouraged, let us work together, and hope that we can all become stronger in the next match."

Hearing this advice from Su Jiu, Derek Rose, who was hugging Su Jiu at the moment, tightened his fist, and then punched Su Jiu on the shoulder before separating.

"You guy, don't use such old-fashioned words to advise me. Of course I will work harder. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down in the next game."

Looking at Su Jiu with a smile on his face, Derek Rose obviously hesitated for a moment after saying this sentence.

But after hesitating, Ross hugged Su Jiu again, put his mouth close to Su Jiu's ear, and said fiercely to him:

"You annoying guy, I'm really getting tired of you now, because you always make me feel that the world is really unfair at all."

"But you must train hard, because I don't want to lose an opponent like you in my next career."

After talking repeatedly for many words, Derrick Rose finally punched Su Jiu hard on the chest, then turned around with slightly moist eyes, and resolutely left the Orlando Arena...

At the moment when the game ended, all the media on the scene poured into the field one after another. Everyone raised their cameras high and started filming the scenes on the field.

Although the result of this game did not exceed the expectations of the media in the end, the process of this game was particularly exciting.

Especially the personal duel between Derrick Rose and Su Jiu made the fans look sideways on it.

And if there is no accident, the scene of Su Jiu and Derek Rose hugging with tears after the game will probably be frozen forever.

In the whole game, Su Jiu played a total of 32 minutes. He made 11 of 6 shots, 7 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws. With a data of 17 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, he drew a successful conclusion to his first career playoff matchup.

As Derrick Rose, who is also participating in the playoffs for the first time in his career, Rose, who has been playing against Su Jiu in this game, performed quite well.

After all, compared to the multi-point blooming on the Magic side, the Bulls' offensive burden is basically on the two outsiders, Derrick Rose and Ben Gordon.

所以全场比赛德里克罗斯一共是登场了37分钟，其中个人19投8中，三分线外4中1，罚球6中4，最终砍下了21分3篮板以及6次助攻的数据。

It can be said that he participated in the playoffs for the first time in his career, and the data Derrick Rose handed over can be regarded as very good.

However, although Rose won the personal data in the personal confrontation with Su Jiu in this game, the final result of the game made Su Jiu have the last laugh.

Apart from Su Jiu, the biggest contributor to the Magic's victory in this game is definitely Allen Iverson.

For Iverson, the playoffs have long been a very familiar process, so in this round of the series matchup, Iverson's heart was as calm as water, without any fluctuations.

And in the regular season, Iverson, who has been suppressed by Stan Van Gundy in terms of playing time, after the playoffs, Van Gundy finally lifted Iverson's personal seal.

全场比赛艾弗森一共是登场了34分钟，其中个人21投10中，三分线外5中1，罚球8中7，在首场季后赛的对决中就砍下了28分3助攻3抢断的不俗数据。

Even in this game, when Iverson faced Ben Gordon's personal defense, his continuous change of direction and breakthrough to the inside simply made the fans dream of returning to the peak.

It was as if I returned to that night in 2001 overnight.

In addition to Iverson, Warcraft Howard also performed equally well in this game.

Although the Bulls have both Brad Miller and Joakim Noah inside.

However, one of these two is on the verge of retiring and the other is just a fledgling, so when defending Howard, both of them seem a little powerless.

全场比赛霍华德一共是登场了33分钟，个人方面14投8中，罚球9中4，最终高效贡献出了一份20分16篮板3次封盖的爆炸数据。

In the playoffs, there are not many players who can score 20+15 in a single game, so the young Howard is constantly refreshing his career record at this moment.

至于刘易斯、小李子、以及特科格鲁三人，则分别是贡献出了13分3篮板1助攻，6分2篮板1抢断，以及5分5篮板7次助攻的数据。

It can be said that the Magic team in this game can definitely be called multi-point blooming. Any player who played has made his due contribution on the field.

Even the "Polish legend" Gortat suppressed Joakinoah in the 13 minutes he played, contributed a good statistic of 4 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block, and completed the task that Stan Van Gundy entrusted to him to protect the basket.

After the game ended, even though the Bulls players had all retired, the entire Orlando Arena was still filled with an atmosphere of joy.

All the fans stood up and chanted frantically.

Although this round of the series was before the start, the fans had enough confidence that the team could beat the Bulls to complete the promotion.

But when the team wins the playoffs, the fans still feel very excited.

There are even many older fans who have started to have red eyes, celebrating excitedly on the sidelines of the court, and feeling a little sad at the same time.

Because for the current Orlando fans, this season is their most hopeful year to return to the Finals since the 90s.

And in order to wait for such a season, the entire Orlando fans have been waiting for 14 years...
