Who are the two hottest stars in the NBA in recent times? If the west is Doncic, then the east is DeRozan. How fierce is Azan now? He has cut 30+ in 8 consecutive games, including 35+ in 7 consecutive games and 38+ in 3 consecutive games. In the last three games, DeRozan has scored 38 points, 40 points and 38 points respectively.
Some people may say that 35+ points in 7 consecutive games does not sound very powerful! What if you told you that he shot more than 50% of his shots in all 7 games? That's right, DeRozan did! He scored 35+ in seven consecutive games and shot more than 50% from the field, surpassing Chamberlain (6 consecutive games) and becoming the first in NBA history.
Speaking about this remarkable record, DeRozan himself said: "As a player in the history of the NBA, I don't know what words to describe my feelings! Such a record makes me even more humble. Under DeRozan's leadership, the Bulls are currently 38-21 and tied for first place in the East with the Heat.
So far this season, DeRozan has played 55 games for the Bulls, missing only four. He averaged 28.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, shooting 51.7 percent from the field, 34.3 percent from three-point range and 86.6 percent from the free throws. Among them, the average score per game and three-point shooting rate are career highs, and the shooting percentage is the second highest in the career.
DeRozan's average of points per game is fourth in the league, behind Embiid, Alphabet Brother and James. He has played 241 singles this season, averaging 1.13 points, 57.65 points above the average, the first in the league. Harden (54.75 points above the average) is second in the league and Durant (30.62 points above the average) is third in the league.
DeRozan hit 259 mid-range shots this season, number one in the league. In second place was Booker, with only 156, a difference of more than 100. In addition, DeRozan scored a total of 443 points in the fourth quarter this season, also the first in the league, more than 70 points ahead of the second alphabet brother! Azan is the well-deserved "King of the Last Quarters"!
In the first two days of 2022, DeRozan threw back-to-back shots into the whistle, presumably many people remember? He averaged 3.9 points per game in key moments of the season (last 5 minutes, within 5 points difference), fourth in the league. DeRozan shot 54.1 percent from the field at key moments, 66.7 percent from three-point range, and 90.2 percent from the free throw line.
Azan's performance has conquered not only the fans, but also many players. Wade said: "DeRozan hasn't changed his playing style, he just upgraded and he's now playing at another level! Durant even wrote: "Thank you DeRozan, who set an example for us with his unparalleled skill!" ”
Noah said: "At the beginning of the season, no one looked up to the Bulls, and no one could have imagined that DeRozan could play like this! He is the perfect puzzle for this bull! Barkley: "In my mind, this season MVP Embiid is first, DeRozan is second, and Alphabet Brother is third. On the last issue of the official MVP list, DeRozan was only ninth.
DeRozan scored 35+ in seven consecutive games, ranking second in Bulls history, behind Jordan's 10. His current achievements are far less than Jordan's, but Azan is leading the bulls on the road to revival. If the Bulls can maintain the first record in the East, if DeRozan can maintain the current statistics, he should be the candidate for MVP!
The Bulls can have the current record, and DeRozan is the greatest! With the exception of him, the rest of the starters missed a total of 97 games. A brief list of the bulls' main rotation players missed: LaVine missed 13 games, Kobe White 20 games, Ball Brother 25, Caruso 31 games... You know how hard It has been this season for DeRozan!
This summer, DeRozan will turn 33, and at this age he can still play the strongest season of his career, and it is indeed admirable to think about what he has experienced. In the summer of 2018, DeRozan was traded by the Raptors to the Spurs, leaving Toronto, where he had been playing for nine years. DeRozan dialed Lowry's phone, and he cried into the phone without speaking for five minutes.
In today's three-point shooting, DeRozan insists on his retro style of play, and his mid-range jumper has reached its peak. DeRozan overcame suffering and reinvigorated the legacy of basketball! Keep being yourself, Azan!
