After the start of the regular season this season, the Chicago Bulls have become recognized as the biggest dark horse with excellent overall performance, in the Eastern Conference with the Nets, Bucks and Heat, they are at the top of the standings, but due to injury troubles, the leaders have not had a good time recently, have suffered a wave of four consecutive losses, the lead has also been rapidly reduced, if the performance continues to be sluggish, it is very likely to give up the throne of the First Place in the East, in this regular season, The Bulls encountered another dark horse team in the East, the Cavaliers, who also played the fourth highest record in the East with the five major lineups built against the trend of the times, and before the start of the game, they achieved a wave of five consecutive wins, it can be said that morale is high, the Bulls still have Two absolute main players in this campaign, LaVine and Ball, which is also the reason why the fans are optimistic that the Cavaliers can continue to soar, but in this game, DeRozan and Vucevic have shown their dominance in the inside and outside. The two sides fought hard for four quarters, and the Bulls also beat the Cavaliers 117-104, ending their embarrassing four-game losing streak!
A very important reason why the Cavaliers have been able to surprise everyone this season is the five major lineups they have created, and Markkanen, who was selected by the Bulls with the seventh pick in the first round of 2017, is one of the most important players in the Cavaliers' inner line, after playing for the Bulls for four seasons, this season Carkanen has become a member of the Cavaliers, and in this game against his old club, Markkanen played a very good personal performance. In the 32.3 minutes he played, he hit 9 shots on 14 shots, including three-pointers on 5-of-6 shooting, contributing 28 points and seven rebounds.
The team's offensive engine Garand, although the three-point feeling is not good in the game, 6 shots only hit 1 goal, but the grasp of the two-point shot is still very high 12 shots 8, contributing 20 points, 5 rebounds and 12 assists of the double-double data, under his combing, the Cavaliers have a total of four players to score in double figures.
The Bulls' most successful signing this season was deRozan's addition, and the picturesque mid-range shot has also become the sharpest offensive weapon on the offensive end of the team, after a certain decline in his personal performance in the first few games, this game DeRozan once again let the fans see his full personal ability, 24 shots hit 14 goals, contributed 30 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.
In the case of ensuring his own scoring, DeRozan also revitalized the team's attack very well, and the Bulls also had four players score in double figures in this game, of which Vucevic gave the team great help at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, not only allowing Allen, who had previously performed well, only scored 6 points in the game, but also gave DeRozan a lot of help on the offensive end, hitting 11 goals in 21 shots, cutting 24 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block.
After the start of the regular season in the new season, among the bulls' core players, the performance of the most disappointing fans is Vucevic, and the recent state of Vulci has improved to a certain extent, if he can continue this performance, the Bulls will become more competitive, and there is a greater probability of success from the East!
