Beijing time on January 8, today's NBA focus battle a lot, the second and third in the East, and finally ended with the Bucks' big victory over the Nets, and the first Bulls in the East ushered in the Wizards who had previously killed the first in the East, although the wizards recently fell out of the top eight, but their lineup thickness is still not to be underestimated, and in contrast, the Bulls' lineup thickness is significantly better, they have three All-Stars, and finally the Bulls did not let the accident happen, they defeated the Wizards 130-122.
The gap between the two sides is far less than the gap that the score seems to be so small, in the fourth quarter the Bulls main force once extended the advantage to 20 points, the two sides entered garbage time, the Wizards only recovered some points, this campaign Bill tried his best, 9 of 14 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 3 points, 26 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, Kuzma took 21 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists, Dinwiddie 18 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, Pope 14 points and 3 assists, although lacking Harrell, but to be honest, other cores have played out to normal standards, That's what the Wizards are now.
Offseason some fans said that the Lakers took Pop, Kuzma and Harrell to trade Wei Shao, this trade Wizards made a steady profit, but to be honest, the Wizards lack a star who can lead the team, wei Shao used his leadership temperament to lead the team into the playoffs last season, and the Wizards, although they played well at the beginning of the season, but as the teams gradually found their form, the Wizards also showed their problems, according to the strength of the Wizards now, they are estimated to be difficult to reach the playoffs this season, and the deal was actually not earned.
The Bulls side of deRozan is rarely inefficient, scoring 15 points on 5-of-16 shooting, but he delivered 8 assists, in his tandem Lavin scored 29 points and 3 assists, Vucevic had 16 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists, Bauer scored 18 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, the team's four cores scored a total of 78 points Very good, before everyone said that the Bulls are three cores, after all, they have three All-Stars, and recently DeRozan said in an interview that they are quad-core, because they also have Lonzo Ball.
But for now, they seem to have a fifth core, he is Kobe White, this campaign White shot 7 of 8, 4 of 4 three-pointers to get 21 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists of the data, this game you can say that White feels bursting, but this season after the comeback White is really great, the past five games he can average 19.8 points per game, and 2.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1 steal, shooting 58% from the field, shooting 57% from three-point range, and averaging 3.8 three-pointers per game is very good.
Maybe the last five games of White's state is particularly good is a small probability event, but White does have his advantages when playing the sixth man, his ball-holding offense and organizational skills are very good, to know that White is definitely capable of starting, last season as the starting of the Bulls, he can average 15 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists per game, the performance is very good, and now the Bulls have him on the bench, then the offensive firepower of the substitutes will also be on the next level.
It is worth mentioning that after White's comeback, the Bulls have achieved an 8-game winning streak, and after winning their advantage over the Second Nets in the East has expanded to a 2-game difference, with excellent lineup thickness, the Bulls are going to disrupt the pattern in the East this season!
