Beijing time on January 3, the NBA official website announced last week's best players in the East and West, DeRozan and Morant were selected separately, such a result is completely expected by the fans, DeRo is in favor of the hottest star of the week, back-to-back hits in 2 consecutive games to suppress the three-point kill, this is the "three-point king" Curry has not achieved the achievement, not to mention that he is only a proficient player in the middle of the shooting. With his outstanding performance, DeRo is in favor of surpassing Jordan to become the first man in the history of the Bulls! It is worth mentioning that NBA star "White Mamba" also said that DeRozan should consider competing for the player who has improved the most this season. What's more, DeRozan scored 1.39 points per game in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter this season, which is the efficiency of Curry's big vacancy, and there is no doubt that he has taken another league first. Indeed, from a jack-of-all-trades king who has never been favored by others to a veritable key gentleman, DeRozan's progress has been rapid.
Not only did he perform brilliantly at key moments, but last week DeRozan averaged 27.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game, and the Bulls achieved a 4-0 record under his leadership, but also welcomed a wave of 7 consecutive wins, and now the Bulls have surpassed the Nets to become the new Eastern Conference mockery. Happily, the Bulls not only have a key gentleman like DeRozan, but also a good offensive LaVine, who has long been in the top ten of the MVP list, averaging 26.3 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game this season, the data is comparable to DeRozan, and the interior defensive big man Vucevic, he can also average 16 points and 11 rebounds of double-double data, in addition, there is the new star Ball, the leader is also good, averaging 13 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game, it is no exaggeration to say that the Bulls have formed a "Big Four" lineup. Fully capable of rushing out of the east. They will cause enough trouble for the Tulu led by Yu Mu Brother and the Nets led by Durant.
Morant has once again proven himself to be an indispensable core for the Grizzlies, leading the team to four consecutive wins last week, 23-14 to secure fourth place in the West. What's more, he can average 34 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, so who dares to say that Morant is a dispensable player? After several seasons of running-in, the Grizzlies have become a resilient player who can fight hard and have always been the Warriors' nemesis in the eyes of fans. Although the Grizzlies don't have the strength to storm the championship yet, they don't have to worry about playing the playoffs this season, and they can even advance to the Western Conference semifinals. Whether it's in terms of personal data, contributions to the team's victories, or leadership skills, Morant and DeRozan are well deserved to be named players of the week. Of course, Morant is expected to be the player who has improved the fastest in the competition, and DeRozan is a 32-year-old veteran.
