After a big defeat at home, the Greatly frustrated Chicago Bulls, this game back-to-back battle, ushered in the Suns' challenge.
For the Bulls, Lavine returned to the line of fire in an attempt to bring more help to DeRozan + Vucevic, leading the Bulls to defend the home court and save face.
On the other hand, on the side of the Suns, the main players are in full swing, and the whole team is ready to continue the winning momentum and win 2 consecutive wins on the road!
Finally, after four quarters of playing, with a wave of 15-4 scoring climax, the suns, which were dominated by the guests, overpowered the Bulls in the first three quarters, and once achieved a huge advantage of as many as 27 points.
Despite the final showdown, DeRozan exploded, scoring 15 points in a single quarter and leading the Bulls to a wave of counter-attacks that narrowed the point gap to single digits.
But helplessly McGee + Ayton ruled the inside line, time became the biggest enemy, and the Bulls could not chase the points, had to lose, and the game completely lost suspense.
The Suns, who finally withstood the pressure, also beat the Bulls 127-124 on the road, which was worth the trip to win 2 consecutive wins at the same time, but also gave the opponent Bulls 2 consecutive defeats!
Rushing to the away game in this game, the Suns were all soldiers, playing a team performance with 6 people scoring in double figures and multi-point blossoming.
In the case of Ayton + Bridges + Crowder and other main players, each performing their duties, the two aces Booker + Paul, and the play of Tiger McGee on the bench are particularly critical!
Booker fired 36 minutes in the opening game, shooting five three-pointers on 14-of-23 shooting, a game-high 38 points, plus 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal all-around performance.
Among them, his heroic performance of scoring 22 points in a single quarter throughout the first half not only helped the Suns to open the score gap smoothly, but also almost single-handedly disrupted the Bulls' defensive rhythm and deployment!
In addition, the game against the Bulls, the play of Paul, who has both experience and strength, also played a crucial role.
In this campaign, Paul connected the whole team, shooting 7 of 11 from the field, and handed over a double-double performance of 19 points+ 3 rebounds + 11 assists + 1 steal, which successfully affected the trend of the game!
Of course, the Suns were able to win this game, and the performance of Tiger Player McGee on the bench was also indispensable.
McGee was very efficient in this game, came on as a substitute for 20 minutes, shot nearly 80% of the shots in 7 of 9 shots, and contributed 16 points + 8 rebounds + 3 blocks of offensive and defensive performance.
And his key performance in the final quarter, 4 shots and 4 shots, not only completely disrupted the Bulls' defensive rhythm and deployment, but also made a great contribution to the Suns to win the game!
On the other hand, the Bulls side, the team in this game was completely suppressed at both ends of the attack and defense, and finally lost by 3 points, drinking and hating the performance of the game of 2 consecutive defeats on the road, which obviously made it difficult for the home fans to accept.
But rationally speaking, for the Bulls, this battle, the team is not completely without highlights.
After all, in the case of the main players such as Vucevic + Dosem + Green, the performance of the two core DeRozan + Lavin in this game is indeed remarkable!
This battle DeRozan ushered in an outbreak, the starting debut 34 minutes, 27 shots 16 cut the team's high 38 points, plus 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals of the full performance, and LaVine's comeback is also in good shape, the whole game handed over a 32 + 6 + 8 outstanding performance.
Although it did not help the Bulls to win, there is one thing to say, the play of DeRozan + Lavin in this game has indeed caused great pressure and trouble to the Suns!
Just facing Booker, who has gone crazy, and the Suns who have blossomed more, DeRozan + Lavin, who has worked hard for a whole game, seems to have no choice but to drink and hate.
