Is this still necessary?
Jiang Chen muttered silently in his heart, then stood up, took off his training clothes, and prepared to go on stage.
The Bulls also traded back Derrick Rose.
The game continues.
Rose led a group of substitutes who were fully excited, and their momentum was not diminished at all.
The whole person seemed to be back to the moment when the game just started, with his eyes full of fighting spirit and confidence, as if he was the most handsome guy on the court.
Facing Farmar's defense, Rose completed a series of difficult change-of-direction breakthroughs and scored two goals.
The layup movements became more and more difficult, and it seemed that he was challenging his physical limits every time.
This ferocious attack was totally unstoppable.
Fortunately, Phil made a wise decision and replaced Jiang Chen, otherwise the Lakers might not have been able to maintain their final 6-point lead.
Jiang Chen used a complete dimensionality reduction attack against the Bulls' substitute players, and scoring was as easy as taking candy from a sack.
In less than two minutes, Jiang Chen made two consecutive three-pointers and two mid-range jump shots, scoring 10 points in a row, again widening the point difference to 12 points.
Rose did not give in and kept attacking the basket and making shots.
The two of them got into a fierce battle, and the audience was so excited that this was what they wanted to see from Rose!
"That's it, man. That's what you should do. Don't worry about what others do. Follow your heart and do whatever you want!"
"Attack when you want to attack, pass the ball when you want to pass the ball. No one can define you, only you can define yourself."
Jiang Chen said to Ross excitedly.
Ross's eyes were filled with shock.
This Chinese player... is motivating himself again.
This is really outrageous.
But what he said seemed to make sense.
If I keep shrinking back like this, always listening to outside voices to define myself and adjust my playing style, when will I be able to become a true leader?
If you want to control your own destiny, you should take the initiative instead of waiting passively.
Ross's eyes brightened, and he knew he should make some changes.
"Man, even though we are rivals, I thank you for your encouragement."
Ross thanked him sincerely.
"You're welcome. I just saw everything in advance. This team belongs to you!"
"You are the real trump card of the team."
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
He clearly remembered that in the next season, Ben Gordon turned around and joined the Pistons as a free agent because they failed to reach an agreement on salary.
Then the performance plummeted...
The reason why the Bulls management did not use a big contract to retain Ben Gordon was because they had already established Rose as the core of the team.
Ben Gordon also felt that his status in the team had declined, so he chose to leave.
In this life, the result is the same.
Instead of waiting until next season for this result to occur, why not take the initiative?
He knew that there was a beast living in Rose's heart, and like those born great athletes, he also had great ambitions in the sport of basketball.
And now, Jiang Chen's fanning the flames only made Ross release his ambitions ahead of time.
Ross shuddered.
But no one ever really regarded him as the ace of this team. Everyone just saw him as a potential rookie who could become the ace of the Bulls.
"Although you have successfully inspired me, I will still try my best to defeat you."
Ross said firmly.
"Haha, it seems like you can defeat me if you use all your strength!"
"Come on, unleash your talent and show me what you can do!"
Jiang Chen grinned.
The Bulls attack.
After dribbling across half court, Rose passed Farmar in one step, and then faced Odom's siege and made a quick stop and layup.
The Lakers attacked, and Jiang Chen was unceremonious, hitting another long-range three-pointer.
The two fought for another two minutes before the head coaches of both teams replaced their main lineups.
The Bulls attack.
Ben Gordon got into position, reached out to Rose, and shouted, "Hey, man, I have a great offensive opportunity, pass it to me."
Just now on the bench, he was watching Rose and Jiang Chen scoring so much, and his blood was boiling. He couldn't wait to go on the court and show himself, and respond to Jiang Chen's consecutive scores as the team leader!
However, Rose simply ignored Ben Gordon, changed direction drastically to break through Fisher, and then, under the double-team of Bynum and Gasol, he folded his waist and abdomen in the air, pulled up the lever, and made a reverse layup.
An extremely difficult layup!
Cheers immediately broke out at the scene, and many fans even began to shout "MVP".
Hearing this voice made Ross even more excited, full of murderous intent, and his eyes were red.
Ben Gordon on the other side looked confused.
He was stuck in position for a long time, but it was all in vain. Not to mention passing the ball, Rose didn't even look over here.
He couldn't help but get angry. This was totally not treating him as the team leader!
"Dude, what's wrong with you? I had a better chance to attack just now, why didn't you pass the ball?"
Ben Gordon asked as he returned to defense.
"No! The one defending you is Kobe. The first quarter has proven that you can't break through Kobe's defense, so instead of passing the ball to you, I'd better attack myself so that I have a higher success rate."
Ross said expressionlessly, his tone still gentle, but with a hint of stubbornness and determination beneath the gentleness.
!!!
Ben Gordon was shocked by Ross's momentum.
What happened to this rookie?
Did you lose your mind and become arrogant after fighting with Jiang Chen for a few minutes?
He is really too proud of himself.
But why do I always feel that there is an indescribable change in Ross? This rookie seems to be different from before.
"Man, no matter what, you need to pass the ball to me and let me finish the offense."
Ben Gordon didn't think about it and walked away after saying this.
Ross shook his head and ignored it.
It's not that he can't pass the ball, but he must have the right opportunity to pass the ball, otherwise it would be a waste of offensive opportunities.
Whenever Ben Gordon can run and create a good shooting opportunity, Rose will pass the basketball to him without hesitation.
Unfortunately, Ben Gordon either missed the shot or was blocked, and he had to force the attack every time.
This is obviously unreasonable.
On the Lakers side, Kobe made a mid-range jump shot.
The Bulls attack.
Ben Gordon was more proactive this time and ran outside the three-point line to ask for the ball.
Rose ignored it and passed the ball to Luol Deng who cut to the basket and made an easy layup.
"what?"
Ben Gordon spread his hands to the coach to express his dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, the coach simply replaced Ben Gordon during a dead ball phase.
???
Ben Gordon is even more confused...
This script... is totally wrong!
