Derrick Rose is creating a new six part web episode discussing his rehab
called #thereturn.
Here's the teaser trailer for the new series:

In the video, much like in Rose's longer 18 minute interview, we hear Brian
Cole saying that Rose had no base which is why he can get to 125% of where he
was. Rose discusses the same thing, and we again here how he didn't do
balance/flexibility training before. It's a somewhat comforting thought
towards a positive outcome that there was still room to improve athletically
with core strength giving Rose some headroom to get back to where he needs to.
I'll be honest, much of the emotional stuff adidas went to didn't do it for
me. Sometimes I like to play a game called "If LeBron said it..." and wonder
what the reaction would be. Derrick Rose describing his ACL tear, "think of
your most downest day and times it by 100, and that ain't enough to describe
how I felt at that time". Really? I'm not going to try and discuss how dark
my life is, I've been extremely fortunate to have a pretty wonderful life
thus far, but I'm fairly certain that my darkest days trump an ACL tear even
without the 100 multiple factor thrown in.
Also, playing "world is against me" card? You've only got yourself, your
family, your friends, and your city? That's a city more than the rest of us
have when we're lucky, and plenty of people have family and friends bail on
them too. I'm glad Derrick is getting all the support he needs, but I'm not
sure why there's such a heavy doubter angle being played out in all these
interviews. I would bet the vast majority of people who see Derrick wish him
well and tell him he'll get right back where he was.
Athletes seem to typically play the "no respect" card in order to motivate
themselves, but as far as I can tell, the truth is that most people are
wishing him the best and taking a wait and see approach. I don't think it
shocks anyone if Derrick Rose comes back and plays better basketball in the
future than he ever played in the past. I also don't think it shocks anyone
if this is the first step towards a shortened career.
At any rate, I'm glad Derrick is participating in creating the videos even if
I'm getting all hyper-analytical because there's little else to talk about in
late August. Rose is getting some good direction from Adidas overall in
keeping his image out there rather than simply disappearing while recovering.
I think it's especially good given that Rose hasn't been one to keep himself
as the center of attention overall and could easily fade into the background
otherwise.

今年 Rose 膝部重傷，真是重溫了一次 Jay Williams 般的惡夢。
但我們必須相信，這次勢必有所不同，回歸將是更強的飆風玫瑰。
熱血回歸首部曲：信念
