Chapter 1014 Derek Rose's Challenge
It's normal for the Lakers to look down on the Bulls. Although this team selected Rose, it still hasn't changed people's impression of him giving away points. Therefore, the Lakers didn't pay much attention to the next game. They are all invested in this duel with the Hornets. After all, the Hornets will likely be their main opponent in the playoffs.
Ji Feng only has Chris Paul in his eyes. Once the two of them meet now, it will definitely be the tip of the needle.
But Ji Feng didn't know yet, although they looked down on Bulls, the Bulls had been staring at Ji Feng for a long time.
At the moment in Chicago, a group of rookies are sweating profusely in the training hall, and the new top pick Derrick Rose is the first to bear the brunt. From the sweat on his body, it is not difficult to find that he has been here for at least 2 hours of high-intensity training, but look at what he means. It is far from the end of this training.
"Hey, Derek, let's work hard today." George Noah came over and handed Rose a bottle of water and said.
"It's still far away. What Ji Feng can do, I can do it too." Rose finally stopped after throwing the basketball in his hand, took the water and said.
"Derek, you don't need to compare with that guy Ji Feng, he is a monster, you are already very strong, among rookies, there are few people in history who are stronger than you, even that guy Durant performed like that last season "Noah spread his hands and said, as a rookie in the same class as Ji Feng, he naturally knew how powerful Ji Feng was, and Noah had seen Ji Feng's one-day training before the rookie game, and he was astonished at that time, but this time When Rose joined the team, he accidentally talked to Rose about Ji Feng's abnormality. Now it seems that Rose was stimulated.
No way, Rose couldn’t be immune to stimulation. He had heard about Ji Feng’s legend when he was in college. The first time he heard him, he just smiled. After all, this kind of star is very common in the NBA, and he is also an Asian high school student. Ross thought he would soon be lost in the crowd.
As a result, reality taught Rose a lesson. Not only did Ji Feng not fall, but he soared into the sky at the speed of a rocket and was out of control. The records became topics that his college teammates talked about, and even the team members Many people in China have become Ji Feng's fans. They even formed a group to snatch it when the first generation of Furious was released, just like when they snatched AJ back then, which made Ross even more curious.
So he found a way to get Ji Feng's game video, and now Ross was also stunned, this fucking rookie is really too strong!
At that time, Ji Feng was not allowed to make three-pointers, and the breakthrough mid-range shot was his weapon. What surprised Rose most was Ji Feng's breakthrough ability. You must know that what Rose has always been proud of is his breakthrough, sharp, fast, and crazy. , Effective, Rose's breakthrough ability has been well known by people before he entered the NBA, but Rose feels that Ji Feng is even stronger, because Rose believes that in many cases he cannot reach Ji Feng's level.
After watching this set of videos, Ross has the idea that the NBA is nothing more than this. He feels that his ability will be as powerful as Ji Feng after entering the NBA. He even started to shake the world like Ji Feng. dream.
"Sure," Ross thought.
With this in mind, he also sent out a challenge invitation to Ji Feng before the start of the game. Unfortunately, Ji Feng ignored it, but he didn't care. He knew that this is a world where strength is respected. As long as he plays well, there will be no No one dared to ignore him, so he decided to show himself with his strength, and one day he would let Ji Feng know him.
However, after entering the NBA, he discovered that the situation was completely different from what he thought. There were indeed two games against the NCAA here. The confrontation here was too strong, the speed was too much faster, and the defense he faced was more than high. At the same level, although he played well in the preseason, the outside world also gave him very positive comments, and the coaching staff is also very satisfied, but the distance from his imagination is still far away.
So he trained more seriously, he must want to soar into the sky during the regular season!
Finally came the regular season. In the first game they faced the Milwaukee Bucks, a mid-range team in the Eastern Conference. They faced Redd, the boss of the Bucks. In the first NBA game, he faced the Hornets, a strong team in the league. In front of Paul, Ji Feng only scored 2 points, but sent out 20 assists, the highest in rookie history, and there were no turnovers in the game. This data broke the rookie's first game The various records became the beginning of his legendary rookie career.
Seriously, no rookie can resist such a temptation, he wants to show his ability.
However, he didn't expect that he would be directly frustrated, and he was directly blown away by Reed!
He couldn't keep up with Reed's rhythm at all, and was crushed by Reed in all directions. Reed wanted whatever he wanted in front of him. Rose wanted to use his speed to beat Reed alone, but this guy who was rumored to be a poor defender actually directly He stole him, and shot a three-pointer on his head. In the end, he didn't even have the strength to make a shot on the offensive end...
"Derek still needs to get used to it." The Bulls commentary said: "After all, it's only his first game."
"You're too tender, kid," Reid whispered in his ear at the end of the game.
Rose held his knees and didn't speak, because he really had nothing to refute. The most important thing was that he had no energy for the 35-minute game.
The data on the big screen is very clear. Reed scored 30 points, 10 of 19 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 6 of 8 free throws, a typical superstar data.
And Rose played 35 minutes, only scored 11 points, made only 3 of 11 shots, and didn't score a single three-pointer. This is a very pure crushing game.
Rose experienced the cruelty of the NBA!
But this is not over yet. In the second game against the Celtics, the runner-up in the league last season, Rose finally realized what a super team in the league is. He lost by 10 points, and Rose only scored 10 points. This is already the result of his desperate efforts.
These two games made Rose realize his own gap, so he trained harder. Of course, the training was rewarding. After that, Rose's performance gradually entered the right track, and his scores were getting higher and higher. In the fourth game, Rose finally He scored the first 20+ points in his career, and averaged 17 points and 7 assists in the first 8 games, ranking first among rookies this year, and also won the honor of the best rookie of the week.
But Ross still didn't relax, because he only now realized how huge the gap between him and Ji Feng was, but he still refused to accept it. He still wanted to fight Ji Feng himself to see how strong Ji Feng was.
Immediately, the Bulls' opponent in the next game was the Lakers, and Derrick Rose officially challenged Ji Feng.
"Ji Feng, I'll be waiting for you in Chicago!"
