Scattered cheers mixed with restless noises from the crowd.

The cheers were for Rose, and the restlessness was because Rose's three-pointer gave the Pelicans a four-point lead.

With about 20 seconds left in the game, this basically put the Pelicans in an invincible position.

Although he didn't make the previous layup, this three-pointer redeemed him and gave his career night a perfect ending.

Winning, breaking his single-game scoring record, 50+, and helping the Pelicans get their 80th win.

For Rose, this was the pinnacle of his career, without a doubt!

Thibodeau called a timeout.

Although hope was slim, the Timberwolves still had one last chance.

When the timeout ended, Wiggins took the most critical shot.

Wiggins' strong attack failed to score, but Towns' rebound helped the Timberwolves get two points.

These two points were crucial, but time was running out.

Rose steadily made both free throws at the end, helping the Pelicans secure the victory.

In the end, the Pelicans narrowly defeated the Timberwolves 110-106 on the road, taking their 80th win of the season!

Wiggins had 26 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists, and Towns had 32 points, 11 rebounds, and 2 blocks. The two top draft picks combined for 58 points tonight, playing bravely and leading the Timberwolves to a hard-fought game.

If it weren't for Rose, they would have ended the season with a perfect eight-game winning streak.

The moment the game buzzer sounded, the camera immediately focused on Rose.

At the same time, Rose's stats for the game were displayed on the live broadcast screen.

36 minutes, 20 of 32 shots made, 4 of 7 three-pointers made, 8 of 10 free throws made, 52 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals!

Playing time, number of shots, and number of hits were all season highs! His score was a career high!

In the next second, the Pelicans' players on and off the court rushed to Rose's side to cheer and celebrate for him.

Rose deserved the credit for tonight's victory.

Moreover, he scored 52 points, including 22 points in the fourth quarter alone, almost single-handedly carrying the Pelicans forward and winning the final game.

Rose was also moved, wiping his face several times with a towel, and tears of excitement couldn't help but flow from his reddened eyes.

This scene was projected onto the LED screen, and even though it was an away game, the fans at the scene applauded and cheered for him.

It wasn't easy at all!

Just like what a Rose fan said on social media during halftime, all of this was too hard-won.

From 22 years old when his peak popularity was close to the top, to welcoming his second spring at 29 years old when he was about to be eliminated, breaking his single-game scoring record.

Everyone was moved by such a night.

Tang Tian also went over and touched Rose's head at this time, and then said a lot of encouraging words to him.

Speaking of which, there were many connections between the two of them.

Tang Tian had just entered the league when Rose was at his peak.

At that time, when the Spurs and Bulls played against each other, Tang Tian was also sent to defend Rose.

After that, Rose went from prosperity to decline, while Tang Tian steadily improved year by year.

Rose failed to become the league's new number one player as fans had hoped, while Tang Tian did.

It was like two lines with different trends, intersecting at a certain point in time, and then going up and down, never to be seen again.

But fate was interesting, now the two were playing for the same team, and Rose had rediscovered himself with Tang Tian's help.

Their story could be written into a book.

After the celebration ended, Rose was interviewed by an ESPN reporter on the sidelines.

"Derrick, congratulations, can we say that Rose has returned?"

The reporter was also very happy and excited.

"No, Rose will not return. I am playing according to my current way. What I am doing now is enjoying basketball and enjoying everything in front of me."

After experiencing so much, Rose was no longer the young man he used to be, and he had become much more mature.

"What do you want to say most now? It's pretty cool to break your single-game scoring record and get 52 points when you are 29 years old."

The reporter then asked.

Rose didn't answer immediately at this time. He paused, his breathing quickened, and he didn't speak until his emotions had stabilized.

"Thank you, what I want to say is thank you, thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way.

My family, Coach Thibodeau, my former and current teammates, all the fans who support me.

Their support has kept me from giving up on basketball.

I also have to thank the Pelicans management for giving me this opportunity.

Of course, the person I should thank the most is Tang. He has helped me too much, too much."

Rose said a lot of thanks. Although he was controlling his emotions, he still choked up several times.

He put Tang Tian at the end for special thanks.

After so long, he already knew that Tang Tian had pushed for the Pelicans to sign him and sign him with a non-minimum salary.

Including the advice he gave him on the court before, Tang Tian helped him a lot in the Pelicans.

After the game, discussions on social media continued.

"My hunch was right! Rose scored 52 points, this is his night! It's also our fans' night!"

"The Rose is blooming again! Love Rose, love the Pelicans!"

"Rose thanked Tang separately. I believe there must be a lot of stories behind it. This Pelicans team is better than we imagined!"

"I used to be a Pelicans hater, but now I've become a fan. They are really different for being able to bring Rose back to the stage!"

……

But it wasn't just the fans who were moved tonight.

After Rose played such a classic game, many fans expressed their feelings and sent their blessings.

Tang Tian: Really proud of you, brother! No one knows what kind of struggles you've been through. You've really inspired everyone. Very proud to fight alongside you. Keep going!

Brogdon: You have always been my idol. You have proven that as long as you maintain your confidence and work hard persistently, injuries will never be terrible. Proud of you, the Rose will never fade!

Jeremy Lin: Rose's career night! Inspired all players who have suffered from injuries!

Reggie Miller: This is the greatness of sports. Rose has a pure heart. Happy for this young guy!

Wade: Every basketball fan in the world should be happy for Rose! This is an example of never giving up. When you always believe in yourself, good things will happen! Rose scored 52 points, I am so happy that I am smiling like I scored 52 points myself! Congratulations Rose!

ESPN: o(╥﹏╥)o This is the expression of everyone in the league watching Rose's post-match interview, everyone cried!

……

When the final battle started, many people, including the media, questioned Stevens for being too pretentious.

But Rose's explosion caused a 180-degree reversal of the situation. No one was going to dwell on that little thing anymore. Now everyone just wanted to cheer for Rose.

However, those who gain the Tao will be helped by heaven. Xiao Hua's reforms almost ruined the NBA. The Pelicans' goal this season was to oppose Xiao Hua.

If tonight's story was that Rose didn't explode and the Pelicans lost, then there would definitely be a different scene after the game.

But God has created the best story and ending for them.

Tonight, fans can go to sleep with the happiest smiles.

Because the Rose, bloomed tonight.
