The Chicago Bulls have been very good this season, they have soared after the introduction of DeRozan, once the top team in the East, and now they are also in the final four, obviously a very strong team.
The combination of DeRozan, Raven and Vucevic is the Bulls' winning formula, with a good set of role players balancing the Bulls' rotation. As a result, the Bulls have the potential to compete for the Eastern Conference championship position this season, at least to the playoffs.
But man is not as good as heaven, and in this special period, the Bulls have suffered a large area of non-combat attrition. According to US media reports, at present, 9 members of the Bulls have triggered a health and safety agreement and have to make a truce. Of those nine, key players such as Lavin, DeRozan and Kobe White are all on the list.
As a result, the Bulls are actually understaffed and may not be able to play. The day before yesterday, the Bulls officially announced the signing of McKinney, who had played for the Golden State Warriors, in order to make up the number of players who could play in the game. This situation is actually very related to the current environment in the United States, so Bulls head coach Donovan is also helpless.
At present, the Bulls only have Vucevic alone to lead the team, and his ability to lead the team alone is also average. Without the support of outside players, the Bulls simply couldn't find a better way to win, so they lost to the Miami Heat 92-118 on Dec. 12 and to the Cleveland Cavaliers 92-115 on Dec. 9.
Then, if the Bulls still can't arrange for the players to come back in time, then their hard-won advantage will have to be surrendered.
