罗斯:曼巴精神最好的诠释者(2)

In June 2008, 19-year-old Derrick Rose was selected with the first overall pick by his hometown Chicago Bulls. In Rose's first NBA season (2008-09), he averaged 16.8 points and 6.3 assists per game,

earning Rookie of the Year honors and leading the Bulls back to the playoffs. Over the next three seasons, the point guard molded himself into one of the game's best all-around players.

Following a stellar 2010-11 season that saw Rose average 25 points per game, the NBA named Rose its league MVP, making him the youngest player (at 22 years, 191 days old) to receive the honor.

In the strike-shortened 2011-12 season, Rose led the Bulls to the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. But in the first game of the postseason, Rose went down with a serious knee injury that forced him to miss the remainder of the playoffs as well as all of the 2012-13 season.

Rose's tenure with the Bulls came to an end in June 2016, when he was traded to the New York Knicks. Moving on to the Cleveland Cavaliers in July 2017. Traded to the Utah Jazz in February 2018, he was waived by his new club just two days later.

Rose then joined the Minnesota Timberwolves the following month, and remained with the club for the 2018-19 season. After signing with the Detroit Pistons in July 2019, Rose showed he still had plenty left in the tank

by scoring at least 20 points in a career-best 14 consecutive games. "Everything. I worked my ass off." "I am in year 11 now. I tore my ACL in my third year. Most guys would have been retired.

Financially, I have saved my money. It's all about the love. I still feel like I can hoop."
