Chapter 90 089: Self-abuse training
1月份场均26.2分7.8次助攻6.2个篮板，以一个全能数据拿到了东部周最佳球员。上一场比赛对阵山猫，更是轰下了22分10个篮板和13场助攻的三双数据，帮助球队稳住了东部的排名。

You thought that was describing LeBron James?No, the person who got this series of data is a young point guard who is only in the third grade and has not yet completed his rookie contract, Derrick Rose!

As the No. 2008 pick in the recognized draft year in [-], Derrick Rose has attracted much attention since his debut.You know, after Rose, there are UCLA iron men like Westbrook, Kevin Love, the behemoth known as the hope of revival of the white insider in the United States, and Michael Beasley, the next Jordan.
But among such a group of titans, the Chicago Bulls resolutely chose the offensive No. [-] from the University of Memphis, Derrick Rose!

Rose is also expected. In his rookie season, he averaged 16.8 points per game, and he still shot 47.5% from the field.His non-deceleration change of direction, dizzyingly fast breakthrough and unscrupulous pull-up layup after ignoring the defense made every Chicagoan cheer.

For them, this is almost a new era of Jordan!
In the second grade, Rose's scoring average soared to 20.8 points per game, and his shooting percentage also increased to 48.9%. His finishing ability became more and more terrifying.And the jersey sales of this supernova have soared to fourth in the league!This shows that Rose's super popularity.

So as expected, Rose has evolved again this season.His confrontation ability is stronger, and his passing vision is much better than before.The three-pointer, which has always been criticized by people, has also shot a decent 33.2% this season.

He scored all kinds of gorgeous statistics and often appeared in the picture of the top five goals.When James decided to bring his talents to Miami and when Kobe embarked on his second three-peat journey, the light of young Rose overshadowed everyone.

Henson looked at Rose's game video and Rose's data at hand, and even couldn't help being a little envious.

A team with superstars is really different.Although Henson believes that the Pacers will also have their own superstar in the future.But at least at this stage, he can only be envious.

But envy is envy, the game still has to continue.The energetic Bulls have long wanted to throw the Pacers away, and now they encounter such a good opportunity, the Bulls will naturally not let it go.

However, the Bulls coach, Tom Thibodeau, the guy who looks like the penguin in the Batman comics, is not an easy guy to deal with.Thibodeau's paranoid obsessed with defense will definitely try his best to contain the Pacers' fast break.Moreover, the Bulls with outstanding athletic talent can really run wildly with the Pacers.

That being the case, Henson can't count on offensive basketball to beat the Bulls.After all, the Bulls have Derrick Rose as a natural superstar.Against the attack, you can't attack him.

But how can the defense contain the Bulls?Rose is not the only Bulls who can score.

"British Jordan" Loel Deng was deeply loved by Kobe back then.If the Bulls management hadn't used Luol Deng as one of the bargaining chips in exchange for Kobe, Kobe might have really become a member of the Chicago Bulls.

Because in Kobe's view, without Luol Deng's Bulls, it would be better to stay with the Lakers.

In addition, the strong addition of Carlos Boozer last year also gave the Bulls a very powerful inside pillar.

Boozer Henson is naturally familiar with it. Yao Ming and the Rockets fell to the Jazz more than once when they did not cross over and were still fans.And Boozer, who was still playing for the Jazz at the time, brought great trouble to Yao Ming.

If you learn to deal with the Heat's James and pile all the defensive troops on Rose, it will definitely not work.

Because it is different from the Heat, if you let Luol Deng and Boozer play, they can really kill you!

After much deliberation, Henson had only one solution.It seems that in the past few days since the game started, the outside players of the Pacers must suffer a bit.

※※※

"One-on-one offensive and defensive training in a loop?" When Henson announced this new training requirement the next day, all the players looked at each other in bewilderment.

"That's right, and as I said, you are not allowed to shoot. You must break through the three-second zone before shooting. The confrontation must be as fierce as possible. Of course, your teammates will not be injured. Stephenson, you defend first, George, you attack first." Henson clapped his hands, and the Pacers' outside players began to "cannibalize each other."

In this regard, everyone has to face the fierce attacks of several teammates in a row.Then, so does the next person.Henson suspended all individual drills and made all perimeter players do the same.The end result is that during the confrontational training in the afternoon, everyone is extremely fierce when defending the ball holder one-on-one!
"How did you plan!? Don't you create some defensive traps for Rose?" Frank Vogel is also a defensive master, which even Henson has to admit humbly.

"I will naturally adopt your plan. The inside players protect the place close to the basket, and we must use a well-defined defense against Derrick Rose. But what we have to do is to make it difficult for Rose to break through the first pass! You know, Frank, our team has no shortage of perimeter defenders. But if you double-team rashly, Rose's greatly improved passing vision this season will allow Boozer and Loel Deng to kill us! Ross consumes."

Seeing everyone on the field defending toughly, Henson nodded happily.

"Wheel battle? To put it bluntly, isn't it still one-on-one?" Vogel didn't question Henson, the two coaches were just discussing.

"Yes, not all. When the game starts, you can see the effect. My goal is not to let Rose not score, nor to let him only score more than ten points. I know that this approach is difficult to contain Rose's scoring data. But I promise, Rose's scoring will not kill us!"

On January 2011, 1, the Pacers, who had recently won three consecutive victories, and the Chicago Bulls, who had just gotten rid of their two-game losing streak, met at the Conseco Arena. T.NT TV set up the game as a live broadcast in the United States. The well-known TV sideline reporter "Man in Color" Sager came to the scene in person, and Jeff Van Gundy and Indianapolis icon Reggie Miller came to commentate in person.

There is a saying among American fans: "Where there are classic games, there is Sager."

Today, T.NT specially sent Sager here, which shows how eye-catching this eastern war is.

Although today was at the Conseco Arena, home of the Pacers, Henson still found that there were many fans wearing the Bulls' No. 1 red jersey in the auditorium.

These people may have come all the way from Chicago, maybe they are from Indianapolis, but they can't resist Rose's personal charm.No matter what the reason was, Rose's high popularity was clearly in front of Henson.

Before the game started, Sager, who was very interested in Henson, came to him and asked him for a sideline interview.

Sager's question was simple, but compelling: "How do the Pacers plan to contain Derrick Rose's offense?"

Sugg was smiling, while Henson was deliberately serious.He didn't speak, but pulled out the handkerchief from the pocket of Sager's sky blue suit, crumpled it into a ball, then stuffed it back into Sager's pocket, and then left.

Sager looked at the camera, then at the handkerchief that was squeezed into a ball, and finally looked at Rose who was warming up, and couldn't help but shudder.It seems that Derek Rose will not have a good time tonight.

"Thank you for your answer, coach!" Sager said, ending the sideline interview where he was the only one speaking.
