On October 27, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, the New York Knicks hosted the Philadelphia 76ers, no one thought that today's Knicks would have such a strong, top defense, and charging stars! 112-99, the Knicks beat the Philadelphia 76ers by 13 points, and at the end of the first half, the Knicks led the Philadelphia 76ers by 62-42, even if the Philadelphia 76ers narrowed the gap to 14 points in the fourth quarter, but at the critical moment Rose, Randall, Fournier, you are one and me, and the 76ers have no temper.
And speaking of the youngest regular season MVP Derrick Rose, he came off the bench for 19 minutes and 50 seconds, he contributed 13 points + 3 rebounds + 1 assist + 1 steal + 1 block on 7-of-7 shooting, 1 assist + 1 steal + 1 block, and he was on the field plus-minus +10, which is higher than the starting points of the five Knicks! In the fourth quarter of the game, Rose contributed 4 points + 2 rebounds + 1 assist + 1 steal in 4 of 6 minutes in the single quarter, Rose grabbed a counterattack, and then Randall followed up to catch the ball and layup in one go.
In the fourth quarter of 8 minutes and 07 seconds, no one expected Rose's steal to be so accurate, at this time the Philadelphia 76ers attacked with the ball, Rose came to assist in the defense, the eyes were quick to steal directly, and from Rose holding the ball to dribbling to the front court, it only took 3 seconds, 3 seconds Rose helped the Knicks play an attack, he and Randall staged a two-person turn, this steal is very morale-boosting.
For the 33-year-old Derrick Rose, he used his own actions to prove one thing, the veteran wants to fight for a better future is not to fight for the championship, the veteran can also choose a team with a certain competitiveness, and then to support the young, the key moment to open the situation for the team. Remember Rose's journey from the Bulls to the Knicks to the Cavaliers, Jazz, Timberwolves, and Pistons after an injury?
Rose reached a three-year, $43 million contract with the Knicks in the summer of 2021, and maybe he can't get very close to the championship, but everything is earned through his efforts, and he doesn't need to rely on other people.
So far this season, Rose has averaged 14.7 points + 3 rebounds + 5 assists per game in 25 minutes, the data is average, but Rose is shooting 45.7% per game, three-point shooting rate is as high as 58.8%, you see, this is the youngest regular season MVP, even if he has suffered a serious knee injury, he is still so efficient.
