Yesterday DeRozan killed the Pacers, today DeRozan killed the Wizards.
Bryant, 31, killed six times a year in the 2009-10 season.
As a self-proclaimed Kobe bryant and 32-year-old DeRozan double-killed in two days, this is... Very Kobe.
From another perspective:
This is another victory, DeRozan + Lavin, even the Bulls Trident, and even the Bulls team.
Talked about before, this year's bull, quite similar to the 2006 network:
The 2006 Net had one of the top dunk kings of all time, carter Carter, a swingman scorer who scored 25 points per game on the basket and jumper.
The 2021 Bulls have one of the top dunk kings of all time, with The Swing Man scorer Lavin, who usually scores 26 points per game on the basket + jumper.
The 2006 Net had an organizational guard Kidd who pushed back and swung well but didn't hold the ball and defend well and scored 13 points per game.
The 2021 Bulls have an organizational defender who pushes backs and swings well but doesn't hold the ball and defend well and scores 13 points per game: big balls are poor version of Kidd.
The 2006 net had a technically beautiful mid-range shooter who scored 14 points per game by Balkan long man Kostic.
The 2021 Bulls have a technically beautiful mid-range shooter who scored 16 points per game with Balkan long man Vucevic.
The difference is that the third gun of the net in 2006 was Richard Jefferson, who was single defense + counterattack fast down + empty cut 20 + 6 + 4 per game.
The 2021 Bulls have a poor version of Kobe Bryant's 27+5+5 DeRozan per game — and Caruso, whose data is immeasurable.
The Bulls have a clear division of labor this year: big balls and Caruso with substitutes to fight defense, Vucevic tubes blocking, Lavin and DeRozan are two-headed monsters.
Magic in the pair of DeRozan and Lavin scored magic, Kobe Bryant Jr. and Carter Jr., do not clash.
Lavine's strengths are well known: the dunk king's running and jumping, the hard-working strong shooting three-pointer, and the gorgeous change of direction breakthrough. But after all, he is thin and does not like to carry and fight.
This season's basket shots accounted for 27%, three-point shots accounted for 39%, plus 14% of the long shots, basically 3/4 of the shots are long shots + breakthroughs.
DeRozan is the middle thrower of the ancient model. 30 percent of the shots this season are between 10 and 16 feet, and the shooting percentage is as high as 54 percent.
As for the position of the pace rubbing free throw, it is a trick that the Raptors took to the Spurs and then to the Bulls.
So the bull's opponents often make trouble:
You contract, Lavin shoots you three points.
You expand your defense, both Lavine and DeRozan can drill under the basket.
You lock the basket and control the penalty area, and DeRozan shoots you from mid-range.
In the top ten regular season shooting last season, there were two players on the same team, and they all shot 44 percent away — that's Paul and Booker. Last season's playoffs, the Western Powers saw how headaches they took turns shooting with the ball, and we all remember.
So far this season, DeRozan has scored 51 percent of the league's fourth-place shooting percentage and LaVinne's tenth-place shooting percentage of 42 percent (but he's shooting more than three-pointers). Both have an effective shooting percentage of more than 51 percent (by the way, Durant's effective shooting percentage from getting rid of the shot is 52 percent).
Take turns, how to prevent it?
In the past December, LaVine has averaged 65% of his true shooting rate of 28 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists per game.
DeRozan averaged 60% of his true shooting percentage of 29 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists per game.
No one can put it away.
Recently, they have often played a "DeRozan holding the ball, Ravin and Vucevic without the ball" starter, such as today's second quarter, it is even more impossible to defend.
In Atlanta the other day, the Eagle didn't take care of either end. DeRozan had 35 points and 10 assists, and LaVine had 30 points and nine assists. In a post-match interview with Vucevic, he made a very interesting point:
Coach Donovan spoke to him. Previously, Vucevic shrank because his shooting was inaccurate (42% of this season) and Franjutsu; Donovan reminded him that it was okay to shoot inaccurately, and he could also help his teammates on other occasions!
----------------- ”
- Anyway, there are two-headed monsters responsible for scoring, you can do anything else!
Vucevic, who averaged 0.9 blocks per game in his career, covered 10 caps in five games before and after that.
The Pacers totaled 31 rebounds in both games and 37 rebounds in both games against the Hawks.
Yesterday, when the Pacers finally began to chase points, DeRozan took a free throw, Lavin made a strong shot, and then assisted White's three-pointer; DeRozan broke the ball and gave Lavin a dunk, and Lavin himself broke through and missed DeRozan to make up a middle shot. At the end of the game, DeRozan broke the ball again, asked Vucevic to block and force a three-point shot, and won.
It was he who won, and it was the result of the bulls' team-wide efforts — Vucevic didn't feel it yesterday, but 16 rebounds.
Come today.
Big ball and Caruso are still not there, the Bulls are still Ravin and Vucevic with a little while, DeRozan and White are with a little while, but today the substitutes are fighting: Jones Jr., Brown Jr. and White are all hard enough.
The last 5 minutes of the game were decided. Lavin came in for a rare low-post tough back-and-forth before looking for Vucevic. DeRozan then took over, then the penalty was not scored after Vucevic scored three consecutive points in front of the field, which was the turning point of the game.
It is estimated that the wizards were also ignorant at that time: the three of them took turns to start, taking care of one or the other.
Take a look at deRozan and Lavin's shooting distribution today:
Lavin is a wide-area attack and a basket.
DeRozan is grinding with you in the middle distance.
Who is not guarding against whom?
Fast forward to the end of the game.
Kuzma shot from distance to see the ball to win, and the Bulls served from the sideline. Difference of 2 points.
Lavine, who has scored 35 points and shot 7 of 12 three-pointers, is the Bulls' first choice, and the Wizards understand. So Ravin and Vucevic blocked the run, and the Wizards immediately changed their defenses, once emptying the weak side bottom corner Dosun Mu.
So the Bulls served the ball to the nearest DeRozan: only newcomer Kispert was following him: DeRozan went straight to the bottom corner, swung Kispert, and shot.
Second consecutive kill.
The Wizards didn't do anything wrong. Kispet, who defended DeRozan, also had no problem defending, but DeRozan was able to throw in.
As for the Wizards letting the rookie go with DeRozan, is it too careless — think in reverse:
Trailing by 2 points.
LaVine, who shot 7 of 12 from 35 points, and DeRozan, who didn't shoot three-pointers on 10 of 21 shots (although he just killed yesterday), what do you do? Who to prevent and who not to prevent?
Just like yesterday when DeRozan was killed, Lavin was standing on the left wing, and Vucevic gave DeRozan a one-on-one chance. The same is true today.
When there are two guys on the field who can score at any time, and who are willing to let each other shoot, it is so difficult to choose.
Last season, the Bulls had Lavin's surging three-pointers and baskets, but one less mid-range tackler who could share his scoring tasks.
DeRozan's mid-range classical play has always been solid, but it does not fit well with this era of ball possession.
Now that they are wings on each other, it's scary.
As the Bulls' main player, Lavin Season gave DeRozan the team's lead possession and shooting rights.
Just like Vucevic has been focusing on rebounding lately, like the big ball and Caruso are frantically defending, like White and the bench are desperate today.
The bull's routine is simple, but you can't:
"Who are you defending against, aren't you?"
At last......
Today, at the age of 32 and 148, DeRozan shot this kill, and watch it again.
In the 2009-10 season, the Lakers killed the Kings' last-minute, 31-year-old and 131-day Kobe Bryant.
The two kills were twelve years and one day apart.
"I always try to understand the defensive rotation on the pitch so that I get the ball and I know how each opponent is going to defend me... It's a lot like doing research. I guess I'm these from... Bryant learned that there. He watched a lot of videos, studied the rotation of each team, understood the tendencies of each defender, and then he could find the opportunity to finish the shot... He meant everything to me. I tried to imitate him and learn everything from him. ”
—What DeRozan said seven years ago when he was with the Raptors.
