Ross went to the new york Knicks. The deal was originally sad because the hero was dying, but the story was particularly warm because of Xibodu.
On the 9th, the new york Knicks officially announced that the team won Derek Ross in the trade with the Pistons, and Ross will return to new york and wear the No.4 jersey.
For Ross, the Knicks is not a place with too many sweet memories, where he tore his meniscus again and started wandering in the NBA. However, when he returned to new york this time, he was greeted by the coach Spudu who had accompanied Ross to the summit.
"Thanks to my teacher Xibodu, I am coming." When the deal was officially closed, Ross couldn't wait to reunite with Spurdu.
Perhaps this is not the most important thing for Ross to win the championship-working hard with the coach who appreciates himself is a story about "love".
Ross's cooperation with teacher Sibedu for three times is a precious warm story in NBA.
Ross was traded to the new york Knicks by the Pistons.
"Some people say that you don't like to give young players more playing time? What do you think of this? " On February 8th, new york Daily News reporter Stephen Band-Band-Band-Aid asked such a question when interviewing Knicks coach Sibudu. Spado seems calm. "Do you know that among the players I coach, there is the youngest MVP in history, so you think I don't give young players a chance?" Sibedu's "youngest MVP in history" is the reunion of a pair of teachers and students Ross who returned to new york.
Ross and Spado first met at 20 1 1. One is a coach who is famous for his strict military control and steel defense. In 2008, he helped the Celtics win the championship as a teaching assistant; One is the league champion Lang, whose excellent physical fitness and strong scoring ability make Ross the cornerstone of the Bulls. Under the guidance of Spurdu, Ross played the best performance since he entered the NBA-that year, he was selected as an All-Star, surpassing Jordan and becoming the youngest All-Star player in the history of the Bulls; That year, Ross averaged 25 points 4. 1 game, led the Bulls to 62 wins in the regular season and won the MVP trophy in one fell swoop.
"Ross is the love of Spurdu, and Spurdu has always attached great importance to Ross." A few years later, jimmy butler, a former teammate, felt the same way. In the era of bulls, it's no secret that Spudu was partial to Ross. However, this love and reuse made Ross "hurt" the Ross -20 12 playoffs. The Bulls played against the 76ers, and the Bulls easily won the game, but Spurdu left Ross on the court at "garbage time", and then Ross suffered a fatal cruciate ligament rupture in his left knee. It was a serious injury, which made Ross reimburse the expenses of this season-but when he returned to the game again, Sibedu played less and less role in the management of the team. Finally, the bull opened Spudu first, and then Ross left. This is the first story of Ross and Spado.
In the Timberwolves, Spurdu rebuilt Ross's confidence. Their second story happened in Minneapolis. When they met again, both of them were labeled as "frustrated people"-Ross was laid off by knights and jazz, and he even "once wanted to end his basketball career"; However, Sibedu's record in the Timberwolves is not satisfactory, and there are also disharmonious factors within the team. In this case, Siebel brought Ross to Minneapolis. Unexpectedly, Alice left first.
At the beginning of 20 19, the timberwolves announced that their coach, Spurdu, was fired because of his poor record. Ross was shocked and sad when he heard the news. "I feel very hurt because Spadou started my career again and he bet on me." This is the second story of the guiding couple.
Now that Ross and Spado meet for the third time, their situation is still somewhat similar. They are no longer so high-spirited, but they are no longer in a "trough". Ross will be so happy only when coach Sibedu is around. The coach who knows Ross best has helped him fight side by side at the bottom of the valley for so many years. Spudu accompanied Ross through the peak of his career and accompanied him through the trough of his career under challenge and pressure. It can be said that Spado is the coach who knows Ross best. "His story is so touching that only people around him will know him." Speaking of Ross and Spado, he always praises him and praises him. "He suffered a lot of injuries. It was a difficult time. He suffered so much and resumed his career. This shows what kind of person he is. " If the "rose" is to bloom again, Xibodu is essential.
Before joining the Timberwolves, Ross had suffered four knee injuries. Most people mention Ross and always associate him with injuries and words like "Glass Man". But Spurdu is willing to reuse Ross and give him a place in the Timberwolves, where the defensive line fluctuates greatly. So Ross seized the opportunity offered by Spudu. 20 165438+2008 10, under the watchful eye of more than 20,000 timberwolves fans, Ross hit 4 1 min, 3 1 pitch 19, of which 4 of 7 shots were made, and scored the highest 50 points in his career. Especially in the third quarter, he personally scored 19 to compete with the team. At that moment, Sibudu stood on the sidelines, waving his fist.
"At that time, I used to go to the gym at three or four in the morning, and I was the only one practicing shooting," Ross recalled in an interview. "I really felt the end of my career at that time, but when I came to the gym to watch basketball, I felt safe again. On those nights with basketball, I realized that I could still get happiness from this sport. I still want to play, I can't give up. " "Coach Spurdu is willing to listen to my heart and give me encouragement. He knows what I want to fight for, and he has been helping me. "
In fact, the last time he joined the new york Knicks, Ross's memory was not so good. In the 20 16-20 17 season, Ross played 64 regular-season games, averaging 18 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists. But then I met meniscus tear and reimbursed the expenses of this season. According to the American media "ESPN" at that time, "the Knicks did not come up with a contract renewal." I went back to new york this time mainly because of Xibeidu. According to ESPN, before Newcastle got Ross, many teams were interested in Ross, including Clippers, Heat, Bucks and Nets, but Ross chose Knicks.
"At first, I didn't expect this transaction to happen, because it involved many factors. I am both grateful and nervous. " Ross was very excited when he learned that he was going to join hands with the teacher again. "I want to help the Knicks grow up, go all out to play every game, and more importantly, thank my teacher Coach Spurdu for coming." How long can 32-year-old Ross stay in new york this time? Maybe Ross can't explain it clearly. After all, his body is aging, and he must fight the pain. According to media reports, an insider familiar with Ross's physical condition said that Ross's current physical strength limit is to play 55 games, each lasting 24 to 28 minutes.
Coach Ross and Spurdu will help the Knicks play the playoffs together. But Ross can be sure that he will try his best to seize this opportunity. "Resentment, jealousy and false love will make you stop, throw away those things and give yourself a big smile. Other players often tell me that if you have a chance to go to Madison Square Garden, don't miss it. Since there is a second chance, we must seize it this time. " In 15 games for the pistons this season, Ross played for 22.8 minutes and got 14.2 points and 4.2 assists. Although the data is lower than last season, Ross still maintains a strong fighting spirit.
However, the Knicks have changed their managers and coaches, and there are still many draft places in the future. Just staying in the eighth place in the East this season, we can see their determination to get out of the trough. Today's Knicks are really more suitable for Ross than other teams. They all fell to the bottom and had the belief of bottoming out. Besides, Ross has more teachers to support him-I hope Rose can bloom again in new york.
