In this season's NBA league, the Chicago Bulls have become the most dark horse potential team in the eyes of many fans, after the end of the first 33 regular season games, they have achieved a record of 23 wins and 10 losses, temporarily ranking first in the Eastern Conference, for the Bulls who want to impact the championship, they definitely want to enter the playoffs with such a ranking, but behind them there are Nets, Bucks and other teams looking at the tiger, it is not easy to keep the position of Eastern Conference leader, Going all out in every game is still their only goal! In this regular season, the Bulls encountered the challenge of the Wizards, who played a brilliant performance at the top of the standings at the beginning of the season, but then the record dropped significantly, and now it has fallen to the eighth place in the East, which is why the fans are optimistic that the Bulls can win before the game, but after the game began, the Wizards who played at home played better and established a 13-point lead, and the Bulls began to fight back in the second half under the leadership of LaVine. Kuzma's three-pointer in the final moments gave the Wizards hope of winning, but in the final moments DeRozan hit a whistle-pressing three-pointer to help the Bulls beat the Wizards 120-119!
After sending away the three-double King Westbrook in the offseason, Beal became the well-deserved first core of the team, but compared with last season, there was a certain decline in the personal performance of Bill without Westbrook, this campaign against the Bulls, Beal did not play a normal level in terms of his best projection, but he was very good at connecting the whole team's offense, in the 42.4 minutes of his appearance, 20 shots hit 8 goals, including 4 of 4 three-pointers, contributing 27 points, 2 rebounds, With 17 assists and four steals, the Wizards scored double-digit points with six players in the game under Beal's tandem.
In the face of strong opponents and the core offensive efficiency is limited, the Wizards can maintain the lead for a long time, mainly thanks to the excellent performance of other players, Kuzma has found his own handsome and able to play, 18 shots hit 12 goals, cut 29 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, both offensive and defensive ends have provided great help to the team, and last season also played for the Bulls' young player Garford, this campaign exposed Vucevic's weak ribs of defense. He had 19 points and eight rebounds on 9-of-10 shooting, including four offensive rebounds.
LaVine, known as Chicago Curry, once again carried the team's offensive banner in this campaign, hitting 7 shots in 12 shots outside the three-point line, cutting a game-high 35 points, and deRozan, who is regarded by many fans as the king of the league today, is not in very good shape, 21 shots from two points only hit 9 goals, but hit a three-pointer worth thousands of dollars in the last minute, cut 28 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in the whole game, and the defensive end of the performance is poor Vucevic, The offensive end was good with 22 points and 12 rebounds, which partially offset Garford's contribution on the court, in addition to the youngster White's good performance, scoring 20 points in the opening game.
Despite the final laugh of the game, the Bulls still exposed the problem of poor defense, but this is largely related to the lack of Ball and Caruso's two outside gates, and I hope that in the next game, the Bulls can improve their defensive dominance!
