Despite Derrick Rose's injury, the Bulls were able to seal the final victory.

But the joy of victory has been diluted a lot, and people are now more concerned about Derrick Rose's injury and when he will return.

The Junior Duke did not give any interviews after the game, in fact he left the pitch quickly when the final whistle blew.

He was briefed at the hospital on Derrick Rose's injuries.

Rose's injury isn't particularly serious, but the tricky part is... He hid his previous injury. He showed signs of a slight sprain in the first game of the Finals, twisting again while playing with the injury, although the ligament was not torn.

But the hospital's verdict was to miss at least a week's schedule.

In other words, in Dallas's three consecutive away games, he will unfortunately be absent.

This is a very important loss for the Bulls. His intrusion from the top of the three-point arc is irreplaceable by Snoopy.

"Take care of your injuries, and the game will be handed over to me!!"

The little duke patted Derek Rose on the shoulder, then stepped away.

He was depressed by the 'vigilant, jealous' eyes of my Ross team. At the same time, he understands the starting point of these people. They are all people who depend on Rose for survival, and the better Derek performs on the field, the higher the market value he shows, and the more nourishing they are.

And now, with the arrival of Snoopy. The Bulls' record is booming. But the dividends were completely sucked away by the little duke, and even though Rose was in the second place in the class of 08, he was brought out for separate discussion only a handful of times.

Snoopy has been with the Bulls for less than two seasons. He has gone from being a quasi-superstar and only one step above Derrick Rose to the current league sign, and many commentators have even publicly declared that he is the first person in the NBA.

Alas!

The little duke sat in the car and sighed.

The emotions inside him are very complicated.

……

Before leaving for Dallas, Snoopy received a call from Taylor Swift. She said she was recently holding a concert in Texas and Miley was her guest singer. And at her special invitation, Selena will also travel to Dallas.

What she revealed was that she wanted to reconcile with Selena. Miley Sellers has agreed to help her as an intermediary, and she hopes that Snoopy will be there to be a witness for them.

That sounds weird.

So, at that time, the little duke said: "My attention is now all on the game. Don't give me any other nonsense.

Taylor Swift on the other end nodded repeatedly, very docile.

In fact, this is already the consensus of the duchess girls. When the NBA entered the playoffs and the little dukes entered the hard battle mode, they basically disappeared and rarely tossed the news.

However, recently Daphne started an entertainment agency, and Anne Hathaway brought Emma Stone and Jennifer into the door, which caused a lot of concern.

They began to feel the mood to unite with the secondary enemy against the primary enemy.

……

The little duke's concern for them on a psychological level was not enough, and he was not in the mood to pay attention to them.

On the night of the second day of arriving in Dallas, Game 3 of the Finals officially began.

Although many experts predicted before the game, the Dallas Mavericks, who have home-court advantage, will easily defeat the Bulls, who are absent from the outside core Derrick Rose.

However, things turned out more than expected.

The Bulls showed a strong and tenacious posture from the start, and under the leadership of the Duke Jr., the Chicago trio were killed, and even took a six-point lead in the first quarter.

People were surprised to learn that Derrick Rose's absence didn't turn the Bulls into lame ducks. Even in terms of tactical running, Chicago is more fluid and fluent. Snoopy's playmaking talent at the No. 1 position was fully unleashed, with Lore Deng, Korver, Johnson, Bogans, Boozer, Brewer, and Tegibson all getting very good shots.

This made ESPN's McBlin even exclaim: The Bulls have actually become stronger without Rose!!

This kind of rhetoric is a lot of pressure for any star in the house. The NBA has always had a saying: winning is not terrible, but it is embarrassing to be missing.

Many newcomers or bench players are in this mode: the main core is injured, the substitute player comes out, fits perfectly into the tactics, and becomes the core of the new generation.

It's just that the Bulls are a little different, they find that after losing a core, the style of play is smoother.

This is undoubtedly earth-shaking good news for the capitalists.

Previously, Reinsdorf was still worried about the team's future high luxury tax, but now when he looks at this scene, the original idea is even more determined.

But.

When the game entered the third quarter, Nowitzki and Jason Terry suddenly went crazy and hit goals one after another. When Snoopy went to the basket but was fouled by Tyson Chandler, the Bulls' offense froze.

To put it bluntly, they lack a ball-handling attacker other than the Little Duke.

Although the Bulls have hoarded a large group of forwards, these forwards are all system players. Let them take the ball and go it alone, break through the finals-level defense, it's hard to get to the sky!!

So, the tempo of the game began to return to the Dallas Mavericks.

The Texas cowboys at home are also boiling one by one, constantly hustle!

Although Snoopy hit consecutive difficult shots from the perimeter at the start of the fourth quarter, Stephen Marbury also held the formation as a veteran.

However, Nowitzki was too hungry for victory.

He went inside in quick succession to get fouls, and then hit super difficult shots. Coupled with Jason Kidd's threading of the needle, the momentum of the Mavericks was suppressed again.

At this time, the little duke's perimeter projection gradually became mediocre, and when he went deep into the penalty area with his back to play alone, he fell into the tall defensive barrier. Pass the ball out... Lore Deng and others did not have the ability to get rid of the defense and solve the problem alone.

Thereupon!

The difference gradually widened.

In the end, the Dallas Mavericks pulled one back with 121-108!!

The passive situation from the third to the fourth quarter proved Derrick Rose's worth as the most important perimeter attacker. Without him, the Bulls' ability to fight tough battles is a little less.

"Carlos Boozer, as the highest-paid player in the Bulls right now, should take on more responsibility. The stats of 15 points and 7 rebounds on 6-of-13 shooting tonight were terrible. If he can do more at the No. 4 position, I think Chicago have a chance to win. ”

After the game, veteran dogs Charles Barkley and Reggie Miller both talked about the number four position.

They all agreed that Boozer should take on more responsibility as an All-Star, while emphasizing that this is why the Bulls lost.

However, judging by Boozer's current form, it is almost impossible for him to go back to two years ago.

That is, in the case where Derrick Rose will still miss two games.

The Bulls will return home with a 2-3 score.

This will be a very dangerous situation.

After the game, Tom Thibodeau was asked by reporters if he was worried about losing three away games in a row, and his expression was confused for a moment. Then he replied: "I believe in my team, I believe in Snoopy!" ”

His remarks were ridiculed by the Dallas media, and even made headlines in Texas that night.

The cowboys in the West look down on Thibodeau's 'cowardice, incompetence and self-confidence'.

When Snoopy saw the Dallas prank and ridicule of Thibodeau on TV, he was sitting at the Sky Restaurant on the top floor of the hotel, and in front of him was Miley Sellers, who was reporting to him about tomorrow's expanded meeting.

As an intermediary, she hopes that Taylor and Selena, who were once best friends, can reconcile.

The little duke seemed bored about this. He wasn't in the mood to listen to Miley Sellers tell him how many gifts Taylor had prepared for the occasion, including lipstick in such and such shades, perfume from such and such brand, or pajamas from such and such brand...... Does this have anything to do with me?

Actually, there is.

After all, in a sense, the little duke is also one of the users!

"Okay, Miley! They want to reconcile and become sisters again, I don't have any problem with that. However, I'm not sure there will be time tomorrow night, we have a very, very important tactical seminar tomorrow night and I can't be absent as the leader of the team. ”

Snoopy concluded the topic with a serious referendum to Miley Sellers.

By this time, the large ceiling TV in the middle of the restaurant had already begun to broadcast the Dallas players' championship declarations.

Jason Terry, as always, put on an underbeaten face and made a big fuss on it: "4:2! That's all I can tell you, and we're ready for the march. Actually, I also ordered a full-body suit and tie for the meeting......"

The TV is on here.

The little duke suddenly said to Miley Sellers: "Do you know the person in charge of the brand of haute couture?" ”
