On December 19, Beijing time, in the long history of the NBA, the Chicago Bulls used to be the hegemon of the basketball world. They won six consecutive NBA championships in the 1990s, making the "Bulls Dynasty" a glorious one. However, time flies and the glory of the Bulls fades, but their fans have always missed that era. At one point, the Chicago Bulls were once again in the spotlight because they had two young players with great potential – Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler.
Derrick Rose, known as the "Son of the Windy City," is the Bulls' core point guard. He has lightning speed and excellent dribbling skills and is able to break through opponents' defenses with ease. Rose's scoring ability and playmaking skills are excellent, and he has been named to the All-Star team for many years and has won the NBA Team of the Year honor. However, fate was not lenient on Ross. In the 2012 playoffs, Rose was sidelined for the season with a serious knee injury, which was a huge blow to his career.
Jimmy Butler, on the other hand, is a small forward for the Bulls, known for his tenacious defense and excellent scoring ability. Butler is always full of fighting spirit on the court, and he is able to step up in key moments and help his team win. He has been named to the NBA All-Defensive Team several times and has won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year honor. Butler's leadership and teamwork made him one of the leaders of the Bulls.
If Rose hadn't been injured, he and Butler might have been able to lead the Bulls to a championshipBoth men have excellent individual skills and team spirit, and they are able to complement each other's strengths and lead the team to victory. In the playoffs, the combination of Rose and Butler will be a nightmare for opponents to defend. Rose's breakaway ability and Butler's scoring ability will keep opponents off guard. At the same time, the defensive ability and leadership of the duo will also help the Bulls stay calm and focused in key moments.
Of course, this is just an imagination on our part. The reality is brutal, and Rose's injury has taken a huge toll on his career. However, we can still imagine how he and Butler would have led the Bulls to victory if Rose hadn't been injured, alas.
