On February 10, 2022, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and in a focus battle in the East, the Bulls challenged the inexorable Hornets away. The Bulls did not have any away disadvantages from the beginning of the game, although the first quarter was slightly suppressed by the opponent, but the second quarter was reversed in a single quarter, and the single quarter played 30:16 to establish the lead.
In the second half of the game, although the Hornets slowly found their offensive status, the Bulls did not show weakness, the third quarter of the game with the opponent to 31 draws, the fourth quarter of the game again opened the gap, and finally they defeated the Hornets 121:109, got a relaxed victory!
The Bulls' best play in this game is still the backcourt double core, DeRozan played 38 minutes in this game, shooting 13 of 19 shots, 4 of 3 three-pointers, got 36 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and in the second and third quarters, he shot 21 points, which was the key for the team to open the gap and maintain the lead. LaVine played 40 minutes, shooting 8-of-18 from the field, with 27 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists!
This game is deRozan's fourth consecutive game to score more than 30 points, and in the last four games he has scored 31, 45, 38 and 36 points respectively, in perfect form, contributing 37.5 points in the last four games. And not just the last four games, the last 12 games he has averaged 33.1 points per game, it's really incomprehensible!
It can be said that DeRozan's form this season is really too perfect, one of the best stars in the league this season, and his shooting stability and scoring ability in key moments are very incomprehensible. By the time Ball and Caruso return, this Bulls team is really not to be underestimated, and there is really the best chance to threaten defending champion Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference!
