After the start of the NBA regular season this season, the performance of the Chicago Bulls stunned all fans, once suppressing many powerful giants to be at the top of the Eastern Conference standings, but after lavine, the ball brother and Caruso had different degrees of injuries, the team's record declined to a certain extent, after the last defeat to the defending champion Bucks, the Bulls also gave up the position of the head sheep to the Nets, for the biggest dark horse bulls of the season who want to make a difference in the playoffs. After stopping the decline in time and waiting for the return of the injured, it is their top priority to regain the leader position! After losing to the defending champion, the Bulls encountered an excellent opponent to avoid losing streaks, that is, the Magic team at the bottom of the East, although the Bulls are not in order now, but in terms of overall strength, they still have a certain advantage, so that the fans did not expect that the Magic team that played at home after the game directly slammed the Bulls on the ground, especially in the second quarter, the net win was 12 points, at most 20 points ahead of the opponent, although the Bulls wanted to close the score in the second half, but deRozan was helpless In the end, the Magic team defeated the Bulls 114-95, and the first place in the East gave the strongest dark horse two consecutive defeats!
In fact, as early as last season's trade deadline, the Bulls completed a deal that was very promising at the time, the Magic's inner core all-round center Vucevic joined Chicago and LaVine to form a two-core lineup inside and one outside, but after joining the Bulls, Vucevic's personal performance showed a significant decline that was visible to the naked eye, and after the team strengthened the outside line in the new season, it created more space for Vucevic's interior attack, but his personal offensive efficiency did not rise but fell, which disappointed the fans.
Facing his former owner magic team, Vucevic in the case of the other side does not have a strong interior line, the personal offensive efficiency is still too low to be seen, played 30.2 minutes, 19 shots hit 4 goals to get 13 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists, as an interior player Such a shooting rate is obviously unacceptable, which is why many fans have no choice but to ridicule Vucevic's old master to expose the identity of the undercover.
DeRozan, who has now become the leader of this team, is still the best player in the game, although the Magic have tried to limit his play as much as possible through defense and bag clamps on the defensive end, but DeRozan still maintains a very high offensive success rate, hitting 15 goals in 21 shots, contributing 41 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, but his teammates did not give him enough help to make Azan's beautiful data a decoration.
Although the Magic can not take any advantage in the strength of the star players, but the Tigers can not beat the Wolves, in this game, the Magic team on the field of each player contributed to the offensive end, a total of seven players scored double digits, of which the big Wagner off the bench scored 23 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, the highest score in the team.
It's safe to say that the Bulls' performance will certainly improve significantly after the injured gradually return, but if Vucevic has been in this state, their interior line will become the most deadly weakness, especially in the East, there are two top-level interior players Embiid and Alphabet Brother, if the Bulls meet the Bucks and 76ers in the playoffs, their interior line will face the possibility of being destroyed!
