In the absence of defensive tough players Such as Caruso, point guard Lonzo Ball and jug Zaklavan, DeRozan successfully led the team step by step to the playoffs, and in the last 7 games, DeRozan averaged more than 35 points per game and maintained a shooting rate of more than 50%, becoming the first person in the history of the league, which was also unmatched by Jordan in the period.
DeRozan back-to-back three-point whistle-knock kills
The Bulls fans are still very material, and when DeRozan walked up to the free throw line, the stadium shouted in unison: "MVP", there is no doubt that he deserves it.

DeRozan from raptors to spurs
Before coming to San Antonio, he was the King of the North; after leaving San Antonio, he was the Hope of the Windy City. Fans said that the Spurs will not adjust the players, an All-Star in Texas three years quickly sink, Xiaobian as a Spurs fan, sorry to say: the team wasted Azan's best three years, but the two sides are also mutual achievements, is a win-win situation.
In the holy city popovich gave him the greatest respect, the team did want to create results, but for years to miss the lottery show, so that the team's middle generation fault, waiting for Vassell to join, and DeRozan's chemistry on the court is also very subtle, and Azan is also as good as possible to dedicate himself to the Spurs, the team in the free market has been frustrated, DeRozan took the initiative to accept the player option to stay; when he left, he also chose to sign first and then change, leaving the Spurs DeRozan is far stronger than when he is in the north.
