On February 5, Beijing time, in the case of Lavin's injury, the bulls who fought back-to-back narrowly defeated the Pacers and successfully retained the throne of the first place in the east. The Bulls' victory stemmed from the powerful performance of the double core, DeRozan bombarded 31+5+7, successfully broke through the career milestone of 19,000 points, and also surpassed the two celebrities, while Vucevic dominated the interior line with a total of 66+35 super performances in the two games, and two consecutive big doubles showed the lethality of the interior line.
It is worth mentioning that DeRozan not only surpassed the 19,000-point mark in his career total score with the help of this game's scores, but also surpassed Dale Ellis and Reggie Hughes to rise to the 61st place in the NBA's all-time scoring list, the previous being Guderic's 19181 points.
In the last Bulls narrowly beat the Raptors, now facing a back-to-back battle with the Pacers, LaVine is absent due to a back injury. DeRozan continued to be the bulls' absolute central arrowman, and when the Pacers trailed just four points in the final moments of the final quarter, DeRozan stabilized the situation with a signature dry-pull mid-range shot. As the Pacers continued to bite the score, Vucevic had 40 caps left to hit inside to continue to help the Bulls maintain a six-point advantage.
DeRozan and Vucevic's consecutive performances at key moments successfully helped the Bulls block the opponent's tenacious counterattack, and also won the thrilling victory, continuing to press the heat to save the first throne in the East.
As for the whole game, DeRozan even if the outside grain did not receive, but with the unsolvable mid-range shot and foul penalty, successfully bombed at least 30 + 5 + 7 data, showing his all-round attributes. DeRozan's frantic mid-range shot left the Pacers with little to do, and it was also a lack of offensive firepower to bear Lavin's absence.
In addition, after Vucevic's last game bombarded the 30+18 double-double data, he continued to fire at full speed, even more violently bombarded the 36+17 data, and also hit the key ball in the last moment, plus Dosem's two-man killing game. Vucevic's consecutive outbursts are also an important boost for the Bulls to continue to lead the East.
