Hard-charging way makes -- and could break -- Rose's MVP run By Steve Aschburner, NBA.com 原文 http://www.nba.com/2011/news/features/01/21/race-to-mvp-week-13/index.html 很高興的有芝加哥以外的球員球迷開始注意到Rose的MVP表現文中訪問了J. Terry, J. Kidd, & T. Chandler對 D. Rose 在對上小牛那場之後的看法 (對於所謂MVP競爭者的看法) 這篇還不錯徵求無聊的人可以翻譯看看囉 Jason Terry, the Dallas Mavericks' dangerous sixth man, noticed immediately when Derrick Rose shifted over to guard him in the second half of the Chicago Bulls' 82-77 victory at United Center Thursday night. "That's gonna wear you down, young fella," said Terry, determined to do what he does best and preserve or extend Dallas' 60-56 lead after three quarters Rose smiled back at the 12th year veteran. "I'm young right now," he said. And so he was, scoring 10 of his game-high 26 points in the fourth quarter to boost the Bulls to a 19-4 home record and their 20th victory in their past 26 games. Terry played the entire fourth quarter as well and came away with both respect and a little concern for the Chicago do-it-all point guard. "They better get him some help," Terry said afterward as the visitors' dressing room cleared out. "Because he's doing everything out there. My hat's off to him, he's having an outstanding year. But if they don't get him some help ... it's a big load. Jordan couldn't do it [by himself]." The load that Rose is carrying for Chicago rarely has been more evident than it was during TNT's broadcast Thursday. Rose scored 26 points against the Mavericks, facing and eventually thwarting a variety of defensive tactics; the other four Bulls starters scored 26 points while Dallas was fixated on their point guard. Rose shot six free throws to his fellow starters' two, had nine assists to their three and matched their two blocks. It is the sort of heavy lifting that earns players the top berth in The Race, but it also is a burden that can grind down such a one-man team. Rose ranks 10th in the NBA in minutes played, averaging 38.0 nightly -- teammate Luol Deng is fourth at 39.2 -- and it's the intensity and activity of Rose's minutes that might wear him out more than sheer court time. But Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau told me late in the evening that, while aware, he isn't worried about Rose's workload. "He's young," Thibodeau said, "and he's got a high motor. He's a lot like Kevin [Garnett] when he was younger. You see Derrick in practice, he's going just as hard, just as long, as he does in games. He doesn't like to come out either, same as Kevin." Separating oneself from one's supporting cast while winning at a high frequency is the surest way to earn consideration for the Maurice Podoloff trophy. And with Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer sidelined by injuries, Rose surely has done that at United Center, where the "M-V-P!" chants start when their guy is at the foul line ring a little more true than when, oh, the folks in Oakland do it for Monta Ellis. "When they start chanting, earlier [in the season] I was like, 'I dunno about that one,' " Dallas center Tyson Chandler said. "But the more and more as the game went on, I could understand why they were chanting. He's having an incredible year and, without him, it's not a close game. "He just puts so much pressure on you. I know me, as a big, coming over and trying to block his shot and Kurt Thomas ends up getting nine points ... With his aggression and going to the basket, even if he misses, he's still putting guys in a position to succeed." Said Terry of trying to stop Rose right now: "It's the Jordan rules." Jason Kidd, the Mavericks' future Hall of Fame playmaker, was a little more conservative in his praise of Rose. Not that he was grudging -- he was just more studied, given his doctorate in point-guard-ology. Kidd didn't begin the game trying to defend Rose; Mavs coach Rick Carlisle used DeShawn Stevenson for that rigorous duty. But near the end, Kidd did find himself checking the Bulls' young star. On a pivotal play in the final minute, Rose came to a jump shot in the lane and Kidd knocked the ball loose. But it wound up back in Rose's hands and he promptly sank a 20-footer that made it 80-77. "He's so athletic," Kidd said. "When they give him the ball, he doesn't need a pick-and-roll to get to the basket or make something happen. It's just understanding the time to score. That's the biggest thing for a young guy. "The next step, being around Chris Paul and Deron Williams, is understanding what it takes to be the best. My big thing was just to be patient. You don't always have to force it, because he's athletic. But also to talk. Everybody's talked about it -- I was in that same situation. You don't have to be a guy who's a rah-rah, yeller. You just have to learn how to communicate with your teammates to get the best out of them." Given a night when no one else on the Chicago roster cracked double digits in scoring, and the Bulls still beat a solid Western Conference contender, there should be plenty of "best" still to be tapped. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 131.193.230.88 ※ 編輯: eertllams 來自: 131.193.230.88 (01/26 05:06)
