Beijing time on February 8, the NBA regular season continues, today the Bulls sit at home to usher in the challenge of the Suns, the recent Bulls' record is not ideal, because of Lavin's injury, DeRozan has been empty for many consecutive games, and the Suns side although the record is high in the league, but they do not dare to relax, because the Warriors have won 8 consecutive wins on the first position, a game that both sides want to win has begun, the Suns were once 27 points ahead, almost reversed by the Bulls, In the end, the Bulls lost to the Suns 124-127.
Although losing, but being able to catch up with so many points is also commendable, the whole game is like DeRozan and Lavin 2 to 5, the performance of the other Bulls players is too general, Vucevic scored 13 points on 15 shooting, Dosem 7 shot 2 points, Javent Green 5 shot 1 to get 4 points, the starting three cores were not satisfactory, and Lavin and Azan tried their best, DeRozan shot 16 of 27, 0 of 3 points, 38/5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, LaVine shot 9 of 20. He finished with 32 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists on 4-of-7 three-point range.
The two scored 70 points together, the Bulls played a 41-25 attack wave for the Suns in the fourth quarter, Azan scored 15 points on 7-of-9 shooting in the quarter, LaVine scored 2 points on 3-of-0 shooting, but in the early stage he had been biting the point difference for the team, and in the fourth quarter LaVine also gave 3 assists, speaking of the strongest duo in the East, as far as the performance of this season is concerned, I think the combination of Lavin and DeRozan is the best, if it were not for the injuries of Bauer, Caruso and others, it is estimated that the Bulls would still be the first in the East.
Although the fist is afraid of less strong, but there is also a saying called the older the more demon, in the fourth quarter facing the Bulls' crazy counterattack Paul used his experience to delay the Bulls' pursuit of points, first in the second half of the fourth quarter to create Kobe White's three-point foul, free throws to stabilize the situation, and finally did not catch the ball in the backcourt, so that 24 seconds do not go, half of the time is consumed, which is more fatal for the Bulls who are racing against the second, this campaign the old cannon shot 7 of 11 shots, 2 of three points 1 won 19 points, 3 rebounds, 11 assists and 1 steal, too demon!
The Suns were able to play with the Bulls to the end thanks to their excellent play, the two No. 13 shows of the matchup made people look very enjoyable, this campaign Booker shot 14 of 23, 5 of 10 three-pointers to get 38 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal, Ayton had 13 points and 9 rebounds, Bridges 15 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Crowder 10 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, McGee 16 points and 8 rebounds, the whole team scored 6 double figures, while the Bulls only had 4.
It is worth mentioning that the Bulls' previous two-way contract signing forward Malcolm Hill, this campaign also has a good performance, in the last minute he scored 8 consecutive points, the big heart temperament is fully displayed, Hill is a lost draft, previously played for the Hawks, and finally was cut to the Bulls.
After winning, the Suns continue to sit firmly in the first place in the league, so far this season they have faced the Eastern Conference team with a total of 17 wins and 3 losses league first, such a performance is also very outstanding, although the Suns are more dependent on their whole, but the Suns are both selected as All-Stars are substitutes, is it a bit excessive? DeRozan has scored a total of 73 points in the last two games, and although it has been reduced to an empty cut, his All-Star starter is definitely deserved!
