In the NBA regular season, the Bulls challenged the Wizards back-to-back on the road. The two teams still played very well in this game, although the Wizards took a 13-point lead in the first half, but the Bulls narrowed the point difference in the third quarter, the two teams alternated in the last quarter to lead, and in the last moment they exchanged three-pointers, the Bulls DeRozan won the three-point whistle, helping the team to kill the Wizards 120-119, and continued to occupy the first position in the East after winning 7 consecutive wins.
The game was played by both sides, with the core members playing well and dragging the game to a climax in the final moments. In the final 2 minutes, the two teams alternated the lead, Lavine hit three-pointers, Beal hit two free throws, DeRozan hit two free throws, and in the last 10.6 seconds Vucevic failed to hit three points, Kuzma grabbed the rebound, at this time the score was the Bulls 117-116 lead over the Wizards.
After the Wizards returned from a timeout, Beal advanced with the ball, encountered a bag clip when preparing to break through, and passed the ball to Kuzma on the outside, who made a decisive shot, the ball hollowed into the net, and the Wizards home fans fell into madness, 119-117 again to overtake the score, with 3.3 seconds left.
The Bulls called for the last timeout, white serves up front, DeRozan receives the ball near the bottom corner, and he dribbles one step without choosing to burst in, but directly choosing to shoot three points. DeRozan was very calm, first flew Gispert, faced With Beal's defense decisively shot three points, the ball flew into the air and the lights lit up, and finally the ball fell into the net, DeRozan completed the kill, completed the three-point kill in 2 consecutive games, the first player in history to be able to do it.
That's a bit incredible! What a god! I believe that after you see this ball, it will be this reaction. Looking at Beal and Gispert defending DeRozan, they are full of incredulity and helplessness.
A game of whistle-blowing is already good enough, but deRozan did not expect that DeRozan has completed three-point kills in two consecutive games, or back-to-back. DeRozan played 35 minutes and 15 seconds in this game, shooting 10-of-22 from the field, 1-of-1 from three-point range, 7-of-10 from the free throw line, and had 28 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists.
Kuzma's three-pointer once brought the Wizards very close to victory, and deRozan did not expect to directly complete the sentinel kill without giving him a chance.
Kuzma also performed well in this game, playing 39 minutes, shooting 12-of-18, 2-of-5 from three-point range and 3-of-5 from the free throw line, with 29 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.
James also seems to be watching the game at home, when the former teammates hit the counter-three points, they immediately updated social media, did not expect DeRozan to send a kill, he also immediately tweeted again.
Both of them were linked to the Lakers last offseason, when Kuzma was still playing for the Lakers and DeRozan was infinitely close to joining the Lakers. Unfortunately, in the end, the Lakers chose Wei Shao, traded with Kuzma and others, and now become a Lakers veteran, an All-Star who almost joined forces with James' thick eyebrows. Look at the current situation of the Lakers' struggle, and then look at the state of DeRozan and Kuzma, there may be a trace of regret.
