On February 17, Beijing time, when Lavin continued to miss due to injury, who did the Bulls rely on to carry it? DeRozan continued his crazy performance again, he gave 16 of 27 crosshairs, including 1 of 1 of 3 points and 5 of 5 free throws, 38 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and 31 points with White's 6 three-pointers, leading the Bulls to beat the Kings to win 5 consecutive wins and surpass the Heat to reach the top of the East.
It is worth mentioning that DeRozan set several records:
First, DeRozan has scored 35+ points in 7 consecutive games, and all of them are more than 50% shooting percentage, surpassing Chamberlain's record of 6 consecutive games, becoming the first person in NBA history to set a record.
Second, DeRozan set a new career record in 8 consecutive 30+ games.
Third, DeRozan has made the Bulls' first man in eight consecutive 30+ games.
LaVine has been hanging free cards for consecutive frees due to knee injuries, but the Bulls' winning streak has not stopped, because of DeRozan's continued fiery state. Since scoring 31 points against the Pacers on Feb. 5, DeRozan has scored 30+ points in a row, and has scored 35+ points in the last seven games, including 38 points in this game.
Faced with a showdown with the king who was in good shape after the blood exchange, DeRozan and White both fired 30+ points, becoming the offensive pillar of the Bulls. In the first half, DeRozan had 14 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists on 7-of-12 shooting, and his power in the second half was further enhanced, especially in the middle of the third quarter, when he had not yet won free throws, and he had already scored 22 points on 11 of 16 to lead the team to maintain a slight lead.
As DeRozan stepped up his killing, he also continued to play an insoluble offensive performance, scoring 24 points in the second half and scoring 38 points for the highest two teams, once again saving the Bulls to win 5 consecutive games, proving that he was selected as an All-Star starter.
DeRozan led the Bulls back to the first place in the East, and it is also expected that he will lead the Bulls to a breakthrough in this year's playoffs, after all, DeRozan has played the most in his past career in the Eastern Conference Finals. On the other hand, did the Lakers choose DeRozan last summer, and are they already remorseful now?
