The Godfather of Basketball

Except for the decoration, this house covers an area of ​​more than 16,000 square meters, covering almost the entire mountain. Standing on the edge of the golf course, you can overlook the entire Cleveland, and the scenery is superb.

The house itself would definitely not be too bad if it could be favored by the consortium.

They didn't move in for the time being because they needed to install more, but in the next few days, Hathaway and Swift devoted themselves to the house decoration.

The first house in life is always very exciting.

And still live with Tang Tian.

Tang Tian didn't stay to play together, because the third game was just three days later, and he led the team to Chicago the next day.

Familiar city, familiar arena, they played two games against the Bulls in this arena in the first round of the playoffs last year.

"Never underestimate your opponent. The United Center is the temple of basketball. Our opponents will fight for glory."

During training, Tang Tian kept using such words to inoculate the players.

Although the game has not yet started, he must keep the players tense before the game.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals was about to start.

After the Bulls conducted two days of closed training, the basic training on the morning of the third day was open to the public.

It can be seen that De Nagro wants to use this method to relieve the pressure on the players.

The Bulls players looked more relaxed. Rose and Noah were also talking and laughing. It could be seen that they were not depressed because of the big score of 0 to 2.

At the end of the morning training, Rose and the Bulls players left the training hall, ready to take the bus back to the hotel.

At this time, many Bulls fans gathered at the door, holding up slogans supporting the team.

Although the number of championships in Chicago is less than that of Boston and Los Angeles, the two consecutive three-peats created by Jordan here still give the city a deep basketball heritage.

De Nagro made an exception for players and fans to take photos and sign autographs.

The next two games are at home, and the factor of fans is still very important to the game.

There were smiles on the faces of the fans and the atmosphere was harmonious.

But at this moment, a fan behind the crowd suddenly shouted.

"Ross, you have nothing!"

This shout was like a thunderbolt on the flat ground, attracting everyone's attention, including the Bulls players.

"MVP, championship, victory, you won't have any of them!"

It was a white American guy, he looked a little bit drunk, and he was yelling.

The smile on Rose's face froze instantly.

This is the same as what Foreman said about James back then, it really hurts my heart.

The white people quickly invited the security out of the scene, and the interaction between the Bulls and the fans came to an abrupt end.

After getting on the bus, Rose's face was still gloomy, and he was very proud. What the white fan said just now really irritated him a bit.

"Derek, that's just a drunk, don't pay attention to what he said." The team veteran Kurt Thomas saw Rose's expression and came to pat him on the shoulder to calm him down.

Ross nodded, turned his head and looked out the window, with a ruthless look in his eyes.

After a three-day truce, on the night of May 22, Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals kicked off at the United Center in Chicago.

Familiar background music, enthusiastic arena filled with gunpowder, Chicago's ball market is not small compared to Cleveland.

Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, the starters of the two teams were introduced one after another.

The Cavaliers kept their starting lineup from the first three games.

The Bulls put Boozer back in the starting lineup and played a regular lineup.

Yao Ming and Noah's jump ball.

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Noah hit like chicken blood, jumped high and turned the ball back to the Bulls' half court, and the home team got the chance to attack first.

Rose dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, greeted Noah's pick-and-roll, and accelerated to the basket with one step.

His speed is very fast, obviously much faster than the previous two games.

Yao Ming threw himself out, and Rose made a twist-like super change of direction, passed Yao Ming and scored a quick layup.

The cheers burst.

Tang Tian frowned slightly seeing this.

Rose scored a beautiful goal just now, but the change of direction of that magnitude is simply burning his knees.

The Cavaliers' offense, Paul and Yao Ming's pick-and-roll, passed the ball to Artest in an air cut, and the latter's layup was interfered by Noah's efforts.

The Bulls played a fast break, and Rose encountered James' pursuit and threw him into the air to fight against James before making a shot.

The huge impact knocked him out of the field, and the referee blew James' defensive foul.

Rose was pulled up by Bogans who rushed over, and shook his hand vigorously.

He really worked hard today.

Made two free throws.

Rose scored 4 points in the opening game to give the Bulls the lead.

Paul went to the frontcourt to organize. When James and Artest were playing without the ball, he quickly broke through, and after reaching the basket, he sent a second pass to James outside.

James caught the ball and swayed Boozer, who was defending, and accelerated to the basket with the ball, which was a Tomahawk dunk.

There was a loud cheer at the scene.

James' Tomahawk is the best weapon to suppress the home momentum.

"Stay focused!"

When Paul returned to the defense, he also stretched out his hands and applauded to remind the players.

The Bulls' offense, Rose's breakthrough was double-teamed by the Cavaliers, and after jumping up, Deng scored outside.

Deng's three-point shot missed, and he didn't continue the touch of the last game tonight.

Yao Ming received the defensive rebound.

The Bulls retreated quickly and did not give the Cavaliers a fast break opportunity.

Paul took the ball to the frontcourt, broke through Noah after a pick-and-roll with Yao Ming, and scored an accelerated layup.

Paul waved his arms excitedly after scoring.

There was also a burst of excited shouts from the Cavaliers' bench.

4 to 4.

The two sides fought quite anxiously.

Rose rushed to the frontcourt, and the Cavaliers also resolutely double-teamed, and then divided Deng after jumping.

This time Paul attacked decisively and almost steals.

After Deng got the ball, Paul was close to him and completely lost his shot space. He turned his back to get the ball.

Rose came out from the bottom line at this time, and Deng saw the opportunity to give it to him.

Rose made a three-pointer after receiving the ball, and James flew over to make up the defense.

The ball flew over James' fingertips to the hoop, slicing a high parabola.

"Shua!"

The ball hits the net hollow.

After scoring a goal, Rose took off his braces and roared at the scene.

His three-pointers have indeed improved a lot this season.

The atmosphere that had just been suppressed by James was ignited again.

Paul's frontcourt organization, split corner Green, Green's three-point shot was interfered with.

The Bulls grabbed the backcourt rebounds, Rose played a fast break, went to the frontcourt to face Paul's defense, braked at full speed, and twisted his knee for a throw.

"boom!"

After the ball hits the board, it goes in.

9 to 4.

Tang Tian stretched out his hand and called a timeout.

"MVP! MVP!"

The fans at the scene began to cheer for Rose.

The windy city rose finally bloomed.
