On January 1, Beijing time, the NBA gave birth to a very incredible kill. In the Bulls' away challenge to the Pacers, Bulls player DeRozan pressed the time to the end with the team trailing 105-106 in the final moments and staged a three-point shooter on the whistleback riding! This ball is very similar to the scene of Kobe Bryant's fight against the Heat, and DeRozan's form this season is really amazing!
How fierce is DeRozan's ball? In general, when the team is 1 point behind, it will choose to shoot as soon as possible, and at the same time, it will choose a more confident inside breakthrough. But DeRozan not only did not use his familiar mid-range shots, did not break through, nor pressed time, but instead used three-pointers that he was not good at to end the game. This is tantamount to telling everyone that the team's victory or defeat is in his own hands, and he will be responsible for winning or losing. To put it bluntly, I'm the boss!
And when DeRozan threw the ball in, the Bulls players and substitutes also frantically flocked to DeRozan's side. DeRozan just raised his arms and didn't make too much of a celebratory gesture. But this kill is really exciting! Even home Pacers fans cheered deRozan's streak! A spectator after the rebound, a home team fan in a Pacers jersey, recorded DeRozan's killing with his camera. And when the kill was completed, the fan couldn't help but cheer!
On the latest MVP list, DeRozan is firmly in the top 10. His team has officially reached the top of the Eastern Conference after beating the Pacers in this game. After years when the Spurs weren't a success, DeRozan was reborn in Chicago. After the game, even Pacers coach Carlisle praised DeRozan: "Amazing players have the ability to shoot that ball!" ”
Before the start of the season, the famous American sports media ESPN once again snubbed DeRozan when selecting the top 100 players of the year, ranking him in 45th place. The year before, DeRozan was 82nd. But now, DeRozan has played at the MVP level, and he is not only undoubtedly the top 10 player in the NBA this season, but also can even compete in the top 5 without exaggeration. It can be said that DeRozan once again used his performance to punch ESPN in the face.
