If there is any team that has surprised fans the most this season, it may be the Chicago Bulls, who have won 25 wins and 10 losses this season, ranking first in the East, and they have recently won eight consecutive games and showed a strong competitive state. For them, this season, led by DeRozan and LaVine, there is really hope for a surprising result in the playoffs!
In the game against the Magic, LaVine scored 27 points and DeRozan scored 29 points, which was the fourteenth time this season that the duo had scored all 25+ points in the same game, which was still far ahead of the league this season. To know that among the other duos in the league, the combination with the most simultaneous 25 points is only six times, and it can be said that Lavin and DeRozan are far ahead!
DeRozan averaged 35.3 minutes per game this season, averaging 26.9 points, 5 rebounds and 4.5 assists, the highest in the last five seasons, after averaging more than 23 points per game in his last season with the Raptors and three seasons with the Spurs! He has played the key balls of the final quarter many times this season, and there are two consecutive back-to-back whistle three-point kills, which is unique in the history of the NBA!
And Lavine has averaged 35.1 minutes per game this season, and can get 26.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists, which is basically the same as DeRozan, and is another big core of the team this season! In the previous game, although DeRozan completed two whistle-blowing kills, LaVine's contribution to the game was also indelible, and he continued the team's hope of winning with consecutive key goals in the head, and only then did he have a final-minute kill! This season's LaVine was not the highest scoring season of his career, but it was the most mature season of his career!
LaVine has not played in the playoffs before, and DeRozan has not led the team to playoff performances in the Raptors before, and often slumps in playoff games. But this season may be a different season, and they may completely change the impression of fans in the playoffs this season, and play a surprising playoff result!
