Take a closer look at the time of DeRozan's death, and at the moment of his shot, there are only 1.7 seconds left! The first kill in 2022 is born! DeRough favored the first Bulls player to shoot a three-pointer in the regular season after Michael Jordan in 1997!
The Bulls players rushed over and hugged DeRozan tightly! When it came to the kill after the game, DeRozan was very calm: "Once the opportunity arises, I will do my best to seize it!" Vucevic wrote: "Chicago! Happy New Year! Caruso, who was sidelined due to injury, updated social media: "Very beautiful! Brothers, have you poured ice on Azan? ”
DeRozan's hand feel is actually average, he shot 8 of 24 from the field, 1 of 3 from three-point range, 11 of 12 from the free throw line for 28 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, and 13 points on 4-of-8 shooting in the final quarter.

The Bulls and Nets are currently tied for first place in the East with 23 wins and 10 losses, but DeRozan is only eighth in the official MVP rankings. In the era of the three-point shooting, DeRozan still retained the classical mid-range jump shot, a near-lost art. There's a tear-jerking comment: If you want Kobe Bryant, come and see DeRozan playing.
Speaking about Kobe's influence on himself, DeRozan said in an interview: "When I was seven or eight years old, my father passed the ball to me, and I imagined myself as Kobe Bryant, learning his shooting skills, shaking his shoulders, and back-up jump shots. Since I was 16, I've been training with Kobe Every Summer. Kobe Bryant is everything to me! ”
DeRozan said: "All the skills I learned came from Kobe. Without Kobe, I wouldn't be in the NBA. Nor will I have the love, the passion, and the drive to move forward. "Years from now, if we talk about mid-range jumpers, don't forget DeRozan in addition to Jordan and Kobe.
There are a lot of media outlets saying that the mid-range techniques are obsolete and that DeRozan should have developed three-pointers. He's averaged 2.2 three-pointers per game this season, the third-most career-high, but can only rank around 200 in the league. If you think about it, it is not easy for DeRozan to stick to his playing style for so many years.
Last offseason, DeRozan joined the Bulls for three years and $82 million. At that time, some fans were not optimistic about the signing, and at the age of 32, he often pulled his crotch at key moments, and he was not worthy of this big contract. 40% of the 2021-22 season has passed, look at the Bulls' record and his data, compare the annual salary of 26 million, everyone has to sigh: really fragrant!
2022 has arrived, bless DeRozan and the new year can go further! Come on, Azan!
