According to The Previous Revelations, Derrick Rose will return on Feb. 26, but rose was not seen in the Knicks' game against the Heat. Subsequently, the Knicks management issued a statement: player Derrick Rose will undergo surgery again, and seeing such news, it is extremely painful for Rose. In December 2021, I suffered an ankle injury, chose surgery, the bad news is that the upcoming surgery, or the ankle part repaired last time, maybe at this time ten thousand horses galloping in the grassland, but this time there is no need for structural transformation, just the surrounding skin infection, the heart that is hanging in an instant has also fallen.
Wo Shen expects that this operation will not be delayed for too long, and it is expected that it will take 1-2 weeks to recover. Rose has played in 26 games for the team this season, averaging 12 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists per game, becoming an indispensable part of the team, when Rose was injured, the team's head coach Thibodeau used Kemba Walker, the former All-Star player still maintains excellent scoring ability, but also a full-court performance of 46 points, but no matter how beautiful the data, can not let themselves in the heart of Thibodeau to retain a place, and even after going to the All-Star Game, the management and Walker agreed - season reimbursement. Rose is about to make a comeback, the team intends to cultivate new people, walker such a veteran will not appear in the team's future plans, but people are not as good as the sky, Rose's sudden skin infection instantly put the Knicks into a dilemma - the team does not have a strong point guard.
In today's loss to the Heat, the team contributed 19 assists, of which Randle sent the highest 8, the Spurs, the first in the league in assists, 28 assists in the whole game, the winning rate did not exceed 50%. The lack of point guards in the team is equivalent to the lack of engines in the car, sporadic knocks will not change the overall situation, management realizes the importance of point guards, rookies will usher in more opportunities, and Jeremy Lin was also in this situation to achieve Lin crazy sweeping the United States.
The Knicks' current roster, second-year rookie Quakeley and newcomer McBride, will be the team's future starting point guard. Quickley played a good performance last season, but this season's competitive state is worrying, averaging 9.4 points and 3 assists in 21 minutes per game, but 37% of the shooting rate is really hot eyes, when he joins the starting lineup, Barrett and Randle are bound to have vacancies, he only needs to complete the final finish, and 33% of the three-point shooting rate may not be a conventional weapon.
Rookie McBride's biggest advantage is defense, the starting Fournier, Randall, Barrett's offensive firepower, he only do a good job of defense, or pick up leaks on the offensive end or even suddenly apply cold arrows. Head coach Thibodeau's use of McBride means that the team has forgone this season's competition.
Head coach Thibodeau is a well-known stubborn ghost, coaching Rose in the Bull era, leading the opponent by a large score and still not changing the bench, and Rose's injury has not been lingering since then. Not only will he not use rookie players, but he will also put more pressure on the starters, and it is no accident that Barrett, who has recently been in good form, will play double guard, Harden and Ben Simmons are very successful cases. Barrett has averaged 18.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game this season, his excellent scoring ability will be in the pocket of his opponents, how to handle the score will be his own decision, once he crosses this hurdle, he can become a good organizer.
