In the 2012 playoff opener, the Bulls kept Rose on the court despite sealing the win, resulting in a torn cruciate ligament in his knee.

Season reimbursement.

The injury cost him the entire 2012/2013 season, missing a full 99 games.

This tear of the cruciate ligament in the knee had a great impact on Ross’s career, and it can be said that it changed the weirdness of his career, and even… ruined his career.

It’s just that.

Rose, who was initially injured, is still the “Windy City Rose” in the eyes of fans, Jordan’s successor.

Countless fans, waiting for Ross to return and kill in blood.

However……

When he returned in 2013, after missing a full season, Ross’s rose had not yet bloomed, and he suffered another injury and tore his meniscus in his knee.

Season…… Reimbursed again.

“Rose!”

“Rose hurt again?!”

“Eh… How could Ross be injured again. ”

“But it doesn’t matter, when Rose returns from injury, he must still be the brightest player in the league, and he must still be the youngest MVP player in the league.”

After this injury.

Fans still like Ross as always, believe Ross, maybe a few hot-tempered fans lose patience with Ross, but overall.

Like still occupies the majority.

However……

When Rose returned to the league and appeared in the eyes of fans, his level of competition was not as good as before, from speed to explosiveness, several notches behind the MVP period.

Some fans began to change their minds and began to feel that Rose no longer has the level of a superstar because of his injury.

However, there are still some fans who believe that Rose is only injured, as long as he is no longer injured, he will definitely be able to return to the top after a period of adaptation.

However…… In February 2015, Ross’s meniscus tore again, and the season was once again close to reimbursement.

Injury after injury, fall after fall, fans completely began to be disappointed with Rose, and the team and the league began to be disappointed with Rose.

The only ones who really remain and continue to support Ross are “true love fans”.

When Rose returns to the court again, his level can only be as a role player or even a substitute for a team.

Ross’s performance also validates the perception of players, teams and the league that Ross is no longer a “Windy City Rose”, but a withering rose.

The Bulls saw no hope in Rose and eventually gave up, trading it to the Knicks.

“Disperse, the rose has withered!”

“Don’t expect it, Ross is already a balloon star, it’s a thing of the past.”

“Glass Man.”

Bulls fans, and even other teams, began taunting Rose.

Only Ross’s “true love fan” has always guarded him, hoping that one day, he can still play at the level of the MVP season and re-prove himself.

It’s just that.

Ross, who seems to be reduced to a substitute and a role player.

Fans thought about Ross’s past and present and couldn’t help but feel sad.

“Why change direction without slowing down, why dunk without hanging the basket, why land without buffering? It’s obviously just a show of hands. ”

Some fans who miss Ross in particular can only see the figure of Ross on the highlights.

But now it seems.

“True Love Fan” will make my heart ache every time I watch it.

“Can you not land on one foot after dunking?!”

“Ross, please hang the box?!”

“Why is it so heartache to see you landing on one foot now?!”

Now.

The fans woke up.

It turns out that Rose’s ending has long been preordained, his playing style, which made his MVP season, and also let the injury demon stain his whole body.

Let his peak end early.

No.

Ross doesn’t have a peak, he only has fitness.

Maybe…… Ross for the MVP season, there is no more, and now Ross … Very good.

Yes.

The fans were relieved.

Now as long as Rose is healthy, even if it’s just an ordinary starting point guard, they feel good.

It’s just that……

Injuries still didn’t spare him.

In 2017, at the end of last season, Ross’s meniscus in his left knee tore again, and the season was reimbursed again.

“Shhh!”

Ross, who fell to the ground and held his knees and showed a painful expression, also made countless fans tremble violently in their hearts and hurt fiercely.

Hurt again and again.

Standing up again and again, and suffering more and more bad words, Rose did not give up, he kept persevering, always stuck to the basketball he loved.

As long as he can stand on the pitch and play, he is not afraid of anything.

It’s just that……

Does he have a chance if he wants to fight?!

Last season was the final year of the contract, and this injury season reimbursement made the “glass man” completely lose the trust of the league, and no team wanted to take him in.

No team dared to ask for him.

The new season begins, watching Harden, Curry, Westbrook and others rush to the court, frequently bursting out 50+, 60+ points, triple-doubles and other gorgeous data.

Ross was bitter inside.

The year.

He is a superstar, and these players are still little children, and they can only look up to his existence.

Now.

After 8 years.

Curry, Harden, Wilson and others have become leaders and superstars, and he… But there is no ball to play, this transformation, the sourness of this, perhaps only Ross understands.

The disease ravaged him again and again, destroying him again and again.

The rose that once bloomed would never come back, and he wanted to give up at one point, giving up basketball that might not be right for him, but in the end… Or choose to persevere.

It is also the absolute love of basketball, so that this already brilliant and in-adult Ross, continue to insist and continue to want to play the basketball game he loves in the NBA.

As long as there is a ball to play, he is willing to do anything.

Thereupon……

When no team was willing to take him in, Ross, who tried everything to play, wanted to join the Cavaliers as a free agent with a veteran base salary to continue his basketball dream.

Last year.

Ross is only 29 years old and at the top.

An MVP player who is at the top of the game wants to enter the Cavaliers with a veteran base salary, and be teammates with opponents who have fought against him for many years and have the upper hand, and serve him as a backup.

What an irony, what a shame.

But……

Ross forced a smile and said, “This may be the only way for me to re-enter the league.” ”
