On January 2, Beijing time, in an NBA regular season game that ended today, the Bulls narrowly defeated the Wizards 120-119, this game is undoubtedly the battle of the gods of Bulls guard DeMar DeRozan, he used a three-point whistle in the last moment of the game to help the team get through the danger, and in yesterday's game, he also killed the Pacers with a three-point shot, and the back-to-back performance made DeRozan receive a lot of praise, but also created a quite remarkable record.
According to the statistics of Basketball Reference, DeRozan is the first player in the history of the NBA to stage a whistle-blowing kill on consecutive game days, in the history of the Bulls, this is a feat that even Jordan has not done, looking at the history of the NBA, such as Kobe, James, Durant, Curry and others, did not complete this achievement, it is no wonder that after the game, even DeRozan himself has always been calm and introverted.
Speaking about his nickname of "King of the Last Quarters," DeRozan said: "It's an honor. Speaking about his back-to-back performance, DeRozan said: "I don't know if I'm dreaming myself or if it's all true now. "There is no doubt that this season is the proof season of DeRozan, this season he can average 26.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, shooting 49.5% from the field, shooting 37.3% from three-point range, and is recognized as the king of the final quarter of the season, absolute all-Star level.
Seeing such DeRozan, many fans began to give him the name of "Kobe Bryant", and even bluntly said how did they not find deRozan so strong in the first place? This may be where DeRozan has been misunderstood before, before coming to the Bulls, although DeRozan also entered the All-Star Game and played in the playoffs, he was always regarded by many people as an embarrassing player, even in the years of the Raptors, because he always had a good regular season record and the playoffs were sluggish, so he and Lowry were ridiculed by many people as "garbage brothers".
But come to think of it, is it really DeRozan who is too rubbish? Except for the period of time caused by injuries and psychological problems, DeRozan has always been very good, especially his mid-range really has Kobe Bryant's style, although the playoff results in the East in those years are not ideal, but see who his opponent is? It was james at the peak of the Cavaliers, which team in the East won James in those years? Except for the Cosmic Warriors, no team can say that losing to James's Cavaliers is a humiliating period, let alone losing to James, saying that they are garbage.
Because it's really not that DeRozan can't do it, but that James of those years was really too strong. It is worth mentioning that after today's game, James can't help but tweet the big Zamrozan's kill, in fact, over the years James has always admired DeRozan, before the Lakers have always wanted DeRozan can also see, including James, Lakers players are very recognized deRozan's ability. Although the two have no chance to join forces in the Lakers, it does not prevent each other from being heroic.
Happily, DeRozan is starting to gain more and more recognition now, and after today's game, speaking about the Performance of the Bulls, Wizards guard Bill said: "Oh my God, DeMar (DeRozan) hit a difficult shot at the last minute. He and Zach Lavin have performed all season at the best team, MVP level. Lavin said: "Thank goodness, Demar DeRozan is in our team. "It's clear that DeRozan is taking back the respect that should have belonged to him.
