In this season's NBA regular season, the team that has improved the most is the Chicago Bulls, after the offseason lineup upgrade, they have shown enough strength to compete with any of the top giants in the league, although they are still in second place in the Eastern Conference standings despite multiple core player injuries, and they are not far from the leader Heat, as long as they can play well in the next game, the Bulls have a good chance to reach the playoffs with the first place in the division! In this regular season, the Bulls encountered the Spurs who no longer had the courage of the year, but everyone knew that as long as Popovich was there, they must not despise the Spurs, who were known as the touchstone of a strong team, and sure enough, in this game, the Spurs caused a lot of trouble for the Bulls, the second largest in the East, although there was no top supergiant in the league, but their defensive end was very good to limit the Bulls' offense, and also relied on the overall play of seven people to score doubles, to beat the Bulls 131-122. Ended the opponent's two-game winning streak and gave the Heat, the no. 1 in the East, a big gift!
The Bulls can have such a big change this season, former Spurs player DeRozan is indispensable, how the performance of this campaign against the old owner Azan is also the most concerned topic for fans, from the personal performance point of view, DeRozan is still impeccable, facing a very familiar former teammate, DeRozan has shown an inexplicable mid-range projection ability in the game, in the 36.4 minutes of his appearance, 22 shots hit 13 goals, a person cut 32 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists of the full personal data.
And another core LaVine's performance in this campaign can only be said to be decent, 23 shots hit 10 goals, got 30 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, but Chicago Curry's three-point shot in this game is average, only 2 of 10 shots, under his influence, the Bulls in the game, did not find the feeling of shooting three points, of course, this also has a lot to do with the Spurs' targeted defense, the whole game let the Bulls three-point shot 30 times only hit 8 goals, less than 30% of the three-point shooting rate , and is also one of the reasons for the biggest dark horse to drink hate in this game.
From the perspective of the individual ability of the stars, the current Spurs are obviously inferior to the Bulls, but they have played the biggest threat of team basketball in the game, as the core of this team, Murray continued the personal performance of the all-around this season, playing 36.4 minutes to contribute 29 points, 9 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals of quasi-triple-double data, under Murray's tandem organization, the Spurs have scored as many as seven players in double figures, of which Johnson and Pollletl scored 23 and 21 points respectively. The three of them played no less than the Bulls Twins and laid a solid foundation for the team's victory.
Although from the perspective of the playoff battle pattern in the West this season, it is difficult for the Spurs to get a place in the playoffs after the end of the regular season, but their performance allows fans to see that Popovich has laid a very good foundation for this team, as long as the team management can bring in a top superstar in the league, the Spurs will soon return to the ranks of the West's giants!
