Chapter 265 264. Sweeping the Bulls: Carrying Rose's Hope (4.4K words for a monthly ticket)

February 4.

On this day, the fourth game of the series between the Magic and the Bulls will also start at the United Center Arena.

In this campaign, the Magic also came to challenge with a huge advantage of a total score of 3:0.

It can be said that at this stage of the series, no one believes that the Bulls can still turn around in this round of the series.

After all, through the first three games, it can be clearly found that the two teams are not at the same level in terms of strength.

So at this moment, for the local fans in Chicago, since winning has become a luxury, the next thing to look forward to is whether the team can win a game in this round of the series and avoid the fate of being shaved.

But obviously, the Magic really want to take the Bulls away in this game, so as to make some advance preparations for the opponents in the next round of the series.

Especially Su Jiu, for this match, Su Jiu is simply determined to win, absolutely no accidents are allowed to happen.

Therefore, this game can definitely be called very important for both teams. Both sides are bound to go all out and dare not relax in the slightest.

After the game started, the two sides still used their regular lineups in this round of the series.

However, one difference is that in this game, the head coach of the Bulls, De Nagro, gave up Brad Miller as the starting center.

Instead, Joakim Noah, who was on the bench, was mentioned in the starting lineup.

After all, in this round of the series, Brad Miller's defense against Howard is really horrible.

This has also led to the fact that even though the current Joakim Noah has just entered the league and is still very thin, head coach De Nagro is still the main reason why he chose to use him as the starter.

Throughout the first quarter, whether it was the Bulls or the Magic, both sides did not slack in the slightest, and they have been facing off according to their regular style of play this season.

However, compared with the Magic who just want to end this round of the series as soon as possible and prepare for the Eastern Conference semifinals at this moment, the Bulls at this moment can be called a last stand.

The current total score is already 0:3 behind, so if the Bulls lose this game again, they will have to accept the team being swept.

This situation also led to the strong desire of the No. [-] pick Langdrick Rose in this game.

Compared to losing, Derrick Rose does not want the team to be swept out of the game at all.

Facing Derrick Rose's fierce offensive, the newcomer Su Jiu from the Magic team also showed no signs of fear.

The whole person has been sticking tightly to Rose's side, using a death-coiled defense against him, which is clearly a mad dog style of fighting with all his strength.

Even Su Jiu's fierce defensive attitude on the field made head coach Stan Van Gundy feel a little puzzled.

I'm afraid that Su Jiu will face some unnecessary injuries in this round of the series where the overall situation has been decided.

However, whenever Van Gundy saw Su Jiu's serious attitude towards the game, he couldn't bear to switch him off the court. After all, in the playoffs, this attitude will definitely be the most important part of the team's desire to win.

"Su, take it easy, don't push too often on the defensive end, and be careful with your ankles."

Taking advantage of the team's serving stage in the backcourt, Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines frowned at Su Jiu on the court.

Although Van Gundy admired Su Jiu's serious defensive attitude on the court.

But in comparison, Van Gundy was more afraid of some accidents in Su Jiu's fierce defensive round.

After all, this round of the series could be said to be a surefire win for the Magic, so of course Van Gundy didn't want to see Su Jiu go all out like this.

Hearing the reminder from Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines, Su Jiu first stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, then reluctantly complied. He could only choose to devote more energy to the offensive end.

Because no matter what Stan Van Gundy is thinking at the moment, for Su Jiu, he is absolutely certain to win this game, and no mistakes are allowed.

After all, whether the game can be won or not will be directly related to whether Su Jiu's mission can be completed, and whether the system can successfully complete a new upgrade.

With the passage of time, in the extremely fierce battle between the two sides, after the end of the first quarter, the Magic team in the away game also relied on a better rotation team for the time being:

28:26

Leading the Bulls by two points, ended the contest between the two sides in the first quarter.

After returning from the second quarter, the Magic did not lose in the competition between the two benches.

Even if DeNagro placed Ben Gordon on the bench after Game [-], separating him from Rose, this approach ensured that the Bulls had no shortage of offensive ball-handling points at any given time on the court.

But it's a pity that the entire Bulls have only two players who are trustworthy on the offensive end.

So no matter how De Nagro arranges it, as long as the Magic send a good defensive player to keep a close eye on it, and let other players cooperate with some double-teaming, they can choke the Bulls' offensive lifeline.

And it is this targeted defensive strategy that has kept the Bulls from doing too many tricks in the first few games.

After all, in the current Magic team, there are still not a few players with excellent perimeter defense. There are Pietrus and Su Jiu in the starting lineup, and Courtney Lee and Tyronn Lue are also sitting on the bench.

So this situation also makes the Bulls be targeted everywhere on the offensive end, and has been unable to break through the Magic's defensive barrier.

After halftime, even though the Bulls had given up everything and used all their housekeeping skills, under the absolute gap, the Magic still ended the half with:

49:41

Leading the Bulls by eight points ended the contest between the two sides in the first half.

After returning from the second half, the Bulls were still gritting their teeth and persisting, with no intention of giving up.

However, Stan Van Gundy in this game is bent on sweeping the Bulls with a total score of 4:0, so that he can end this round of the series as soon as possible, so as to concentrate on preparing for the battle with the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

So not only did the Magic not slack in the slightest in the second half, but after returning from the third quarter, there was quite a tendency to want to take the game away in a wave.

Especially with the loss of physical strength, it has been difficult for Derrick Rose and Ben Gordon to put too much energy on both ends of the offense and defense.

Among them, in the entire first half, Rose's playing time was as high as 20 minutes, and he only rested for a mere 4 minutes off the court.

In the end, in a very fierce offensive and defensive battle between the two sides, the Bulls were still behind by as much as 11 points after the end of the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, De Nagro first sent a regular lineup to compete on the court.

It seems that they want to try to see if the score on the court can be shortened, but as the game time goes by, the score on the court is not only not close at all, but has a tendency to be pulled bigger and bigger by the Magic.

Seeing this situation, Denagro also felt a little helpless, and had to announce the complete end of the game in advance.

Although De Nagro was ready to be swept by the Magic before the start of this round of the series.

But when the result came, De Nagro still felt a little bit reluctant.

After all, no matter how he enlightens and comforts the players in private, this still cannot change the fact that this season is also the first time he has led the team to the playoffs in his coaching career.

So when the team was really swept by the Magic, De Nagro still felt a bit sad.

Even though he has tried his best and tried his best, he still can't lead the team to a victory against the Magic.

In the end, with the sound of the final whistle, after the game ended, the Magic also succeeded in the away game with:

104:90

They defeated the Bulls by 14 points, successfully rewritten the total score of this round of the series to 4:0, and successfully advanced to the next Eastern Conference semifinals.

And at the same time, the Magic also became the first team among the eight teams in the Eastern Conference to secure a place in the Eastern Conference Semifinals! !

And this also means that the Magic will get more rest time before the start of the semifinals, and the coaching staff will also have more time to target and analyze the opponents in the next round.

After the game, this time the two sides had a real hug after the game.

After all, the end of this game also represents the end of the season for the two teams, so no matter whether the two teams had any unpleasantness before, but at this moment, once there is no competition between them on the court, they will send some sincere blessings to both sides.

Although the Bulls lost in this game, Derrick Rose, who was the No. [-] pick, played a very amazing game.

全场比赛德里克罗斯一共是登场了38分钟，其中个人24投10中三分线外4中1，罚球9中8，最终砍下了29分3篮板以及5助攻的数据。

Among them, 29 points in a single game also created a new high in a single playoff game in Derrick Rose's career.

Although currently in Derrick Rose's entire career, he has only had these four playoff games in total.

However, after experiencing the baptism of the playoffs this year, I believe that Rose will definitely bloom in the next few seasons.

At least at the moment, in the hearts of all Chicago fans, they all have such a firm and profound opinion! !

As for the Magic, the Magic won this game. Although Su Jiu is not the biggest contributor, he is definitely the most dedicated player in the arena.

为了保守起见，全场比赛的苏久一共是只登场了31分钟，但是在31分钟的上场时间里，苏久个人11投6中，三分线外5中2，罚球3中1，最终贡献出了一份15分11篮板2助攻以及3次抢断的数据。

After this data came out, although there were still many fans' comments, it seems that the fans have become a little accustomed to Su Jiu's ability to play such a wonderful data.

Some fans even jokingly referred to Su Jiu as Su center, saying that Howard seriously delayed Su Jiu's talent in rebounding...

Except for Su Jiu, the performance of other Magic players was also very stable in this game.

其中霍华德15分16篮板3封盖，艾弗森21分3篮板5助攻，刘易斯11分4篮板2抢断，特科格鲁6分1篮板7助攻，小李子6分1助攻1封盖等等。

In the end, it was precisely when all members of the Magic team played steadily that the Magic team did not have too much suspense. They successfully captured the Bulls in Chicago and swept the promotion with a total score of 4:0! !

After the match, Derrick Rose and Su Jiu were hugging each other deeply in the middle of the arena.

And the corners of Derrick Rose's eyes were slightly red, and his emotions at the moment were slightly choked up.

Because Derrick Rose knew very well this time that the playoff match between him and Su Jiu was completely over, and his journey in this year's playoffs also came to an end.

Although Rose felt very unwilling to be swept by the Magic with a total score of 0:4, but under absolute strength, Rose could only accept this cruel fact.

After all, competitive sports are so cruel. During this process, no one will pay attention to how much effort the players have put in. Everyone pays attention to the final result.

So although the sweep of the playoffs this time was still a big blow to Derrick Rose, after the game, Rose still found Su Jiu immediately and sent him his own blessing.

There is no other reason, just because although they are fighting for each other on the field, they have been labeled as lifelong enemies by the media.

But off the field, this still cannot conceal the love and killing friendship between Ross and Su Jiu.

"I'm sorry, Derek, I got some light from the team in this match, but you have done well enough. You must know that there are not many players who can bring the team back to the playoffs in their rookie season."

"So, this alone is enough for you to brag for a while, not to mention, although you are far away from this year's playoffs, don't forget, the battle between the two of us is far from over."

"The best rookie of the year has not been announced yet. Hey, compared to the matchup in the playoffs, I think the competition for the best rookie is finally fair."

"So as a man, it's not a good habit to have red eyes at every turn."

"Also, please don't say that I bully you. After all, I also want to keep a low profile, but my strength doesn't allow it."

Seeing Su Jiu, who was very unbeaten in front of him, but kept encouraging himself with words, Derek Rose also felt a little funny.

At least at this moment, Rose's mood is less depressed, and he has more yearning for the future in the personal conversation with Su Jiu.

"You guy, don't worry, if you lose this year, you lose. I won't make any excuses. After all, excuses are always the reason for the weak."

"But next year I will definitely become stronger, and I will definitely lead the team to truly beat you once!!"

"But before that, you have to promise me one thing."

"Huh? What's the matter?!" Su Jiu asked in a little surprise.

"Promise me, you will try to lead the team as far as possible. I don't want you to just beat me and fall on the way to the semi-finals, because it will only make me look vulnerable."

Seeing Derek Rose, who had a straight hair and a slightly immature face in front of him, Su Jiu was dazed for a moment when he heard these words.

Because just now, he saw a firmness in Derrick Rose's eyes, but behind this firmness, Su Jiu seemed to see the figure of the Timberwolves wearing the No. 25 jersey.

And behind this firmness, lies the hope that was once plunged into endless darkness...

　There may be a big chapter during the day, if nothing unexpected happens.

　　Finally, I would like to thank brothers Hui Hui Yihui for their support, thank you brother, thank you very much!
