One Guard

Chapter 684: Rose with thorns

With a quick whistle on the field, Benjamin rushed out of his office. Carlisle covered his face with his hands and sighed. In the end, injuries caught up with Dallas.

Wade gritted his teeth and fell to the training field, covering his left knee. Wade, who had his meniscus completely removed during college, has extremely fragile knees. If Wade can maintain full attendance this season and maintain his current status, let alone 31 million in 2 years, it will be the maximum salary in 5 years. There are also teams competing to give Wade this summer.

But it was precisely because of Wade's health that he was betrayed by the Heat this summer.

Wade will miss some games, which is expected by Carlisle. But he didn't expect that the injury would come so quickly.

"It doesn't matter, it's probably just an ordinary sprain." Wade waved his hands to his concerned teammates. He was very aware of his knee. Based on the level of pain, he could easily predict the severity of his injuries.

But Wade was never a doctor, so Carlisle asked Benjamin to do a detailed examination of Wade. An hour later, Carlisle got Wade's injury report.

"As he said, it's just an ordinary knee sprain. You know, Wade's knee is full of holes, and sprains are common. He can walk slowly now. If he plays the game, I want to take a rest. A week is enough.”

After listening to Benjamin's report, Carlisle breathed a sigh of relief. Although the NBA has only started a month ago, the examples of injuries are already shocking enough.

Just yesterday, Dwight Howard's left knee injury recurred. The official news from the Rockets is-indefinite truce.

For the Thunder, Durant's return date has been pushed back again and again, and it has been revealed that he may be reimbursed for the season because his recovery from injuries is very unsatisfactory.

As for the Pacers... George's broken leg was just the beginning. With all their main players injured, they have gone from being No. 1 in the Eastern Conference to a weak team.

There is also the Lakers' high-profile rookie Julius Randle, who was retired for the season after playing just a few minutes in the first game of his NBA career, which is even more tragic.

Compared with the shocking injuries mentioned above, Wade is only out for a week, and Carlisle is already thankful. This week, just think of it as giving Wade a holiday.

Injuries are normal, not to mention just minor injuries. Looking at the entire NBA, there are only a handful of players like Yiyang who can play full attendance for several consecutive seasons.

Just as Carlisle and Benjamin were discussing, there was an unknown knock on the office door.

Then, the door opened. The person who walked in was none other than the limping Wade.

"Dwayne, I thought you had gone home." Carlisle was a little surprised to still see Wade an hour after training. Normally at this time, only Yiyang and Gobert should be left in the arena.

"I was just about to leave, but suddenly I remembered something." Wade walked to Carlisle's desk with a smile. "You will take me with you in the next game, right?"

"No, Dwayne, you can't even walk now, there's no way I can send you on the field. Hey, our current record is only 18 wins and 0 losses, so you don't have to rush to come back."

"No, you misunderstood, Rick." After hearing what Carlisle said, Wade quickly waved his hand. "I knew I wasn't going to be able to play, but the next game was in Chicago and I wanted to be on the sidelines."

After Wade finished speaking, Carlisle and Benjamin suddenly realized. The next game will be played in Wade’s hometown...

Finally, Wade left the arena together with Yiyang and Gobert who had finished their extra practice. Although he was unable to train on the court, this guy served as the "ball boy" for Yiyang and Gobert on the sidelines. Especially Gobert's free throw made Wade sweat even picking up the ball.

"Seriously Rudy, your free throws have almost surpassed Shaq's." After the training, Wade's joke made Gobert dumbfounded.

O'Neal was a master who didn't like to practice football at the time, so it was understandable that he was not good at free throws. But Gobert works so hard every day, but his shooting has not improved at all. Perhaps his overly long arms and overly large palms prevent him from being able to shoot accurately.

"Rudy has made great progress in all aspects except free throws. This season, I think you can make the best defensive team."

"Best defensive team?" Gobert looked at Yiyang in surprise.

"What? You don't have any self-confidence at all? You are a Dallas championship center like Tyson Chandler, man." Yiyang patted Gobert on the shoulder, and the three of them walked back to the locker room and took a shower. I changed my clothes and got ready to leave.

"Where are you going to go later? I want to see my stylist for a haircut. Will you come with me?" Wade asked while sitting outside the shower room, waiting. He will return to Chicago tomorrow, and Wade hopes he can go back in perfect condition.

Yiyang is Wade's best friend in Dallas, so during the time when his family hasn't come to Dallas yet, he always loves to hang out with Yiyang.

"I'm not interested in getting my hair done, but I don't mind accompanying you. By the way, Rudy, you can go get your hair done with Dwayne and get a more intimidating hairstyle!"

Gobert touched his simple hair. With the length of his hair, what kind of styling could he do?

"Good idea, I also think your hairstyle is too ordinary Rudy. This is the NBA, man, everyone should have their own flamboyant personality." Wade nodded in agreement.

"Then it's decided, we'll get a haircut after dinner. I also said I wanted to get a tattoo today, but it seems I can only postpone it."

"Tattoo?"

At this time, Yiyang walked out of the shower room wrapped in a bath towel. Wade stared at Yiyang, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Can't I get a tattoo?" Yiyang said, looking at the O'Brien Cup tattooed with Terry on the inside of his arm. This is his first tattoo after coming to the NBA, and it is also the only one so far.

"Of course, I'm just curious, what tattoo do you want?"

"I just want to complete this O'Brien Cup. I want to add the year below. Every time I win a championship, I will tattoo the year on it." Yiyang really wants to commemorate his experience of winning the championship, but he can't just win it once. Get a tattoo of the O'Brien Cup. So, he came up with the idea of ​​tattooing the year.

"I know where the best tattoo artist is, too. Today you go with us, and next time, I will go with you."

"Then it's settled, Dwayne."

"Let me make it clear first that you have to pay for the tattoo yourself."

"Damn, you reacted quickly."

"Hahahaha, you almost succeeded, Yi."

Even at night, the atmosphere in the Mavericks locker room remains extremely cheerful. With an 18-game winning streak and a good team atmosphere, the Mavericks players are enjoying this season. Wade, who is about to return home, is also in a good mood.

But in this alliance, some people are happy, and naturally some people are worried. Wade is excited about returning to Chicago, but in Chicago, there are people who are extremely distressed.

If someone asked who was the most high-profile young point guard in the league before Yiyang, maybe everyone would give the same answer.

The answer is not Irving, not Wall, not Westbrook, and not even Conley, but the youngest MVP in NBA history, Derrick Rose!

He won the MVP in just his third year in the league. As the first player to do this, Rose was even more shocked than Yiyang when he won the MVP trophy.

At that time, Rose was the best-selling player in the league. People call the second decade of the 21st century the era of Rose. People regard him as the second Jordan of Chicago. People think he will lead the Bulls to build a dynasty again.

The results of it?

As a result, since then, instead of taking off, Rose has faded out of people's sight.

In the 11-12 season after winning the MVP, Rose only played 39 games due to injury. After returning from the playoffs, he was reimbursed for the playoffs due to a serious knee injury.

So throughout the 12-13 season, people never saw Rose again. That year, Rose was reimbursed for the season, and Yiyang won the MVP. This accelerated Rose's forgetfulness.

In the 13-14 season, everyone was waiting for Rose to return to kill everyone and end the Heat's dominance. As a result, after playing only ten games for the Bulls, Rose tore his meniscus and was retired for the season again.

Rose has only played twenty games in front of fans over the past two seasons.

This year, Rose is still struggling with injuries, but Yiyang has already won the O'Brien Cup.

It was only now, in the 14-15 season, that Rose finally returned to people's attention. But when he came back, the world had changed drastically.

The Heat's Big Three were forced to disintegrate. The Chinese guard who followed in his footsteps was already the owner of two O'Brien Trophies and two regular season MVP trophies, and was also the direct cause of the disintegration of the Big Three.

Ross? No one remembers him. People say that the second decade of the 21st century is the era of Yiyang. However, a few years ago, this was not the case.

So far this season, Rose's performance has been satisfactory. Although the rise of Jimmy Butler and the joining of Pau Gasol mean that he is no longer the only owner of the Bulls. But in the eyes of Chicagoans, the rose is still the Bulls' sharpest thorn.

The next game was against Yiyang, which made Rose feel mixed. There was no one in the training ground at this time, but Rose still refused to leave.

What will tomorrow's game look like? Can he withstand Yiyang's impact? These questions left Rose meditating in the quiet basketball court.

Tomorrow's game will feel less like a regular season game and more like a showdown in which Rose attempts to reclaim his own era.

As long as he can win tomorrow's game, Rose can get back everything that belongs to him.

But is it really that easy to win against Yiyang? If it were easy, the Mavericks wouldn't be undefeated until now.

Rose looked at his knees and clenched his fists. The most beautiful rose in Chicago is ready to fully bloom tomorrow.

"Come on Derek, there's nothing to be afraid of..."

In the empty basketball court, Derrick Rose is silently cheering Derrick Rose up.
