Beijing time on February 25, the NBA regular season war reignited, the Chicago Bulls sat at home to meet the Atlanta Hawks, although the two teams this season's record is very different, but the game is extremely anxious, until the last moment, the Bulls with DeRozan's key performance, with a 112-108 defeat to the enemy, successfully defended the home.

It is worth mentioning that this is the eighth consecutive game with at least 35 points from the field with more than 50% shooting rate, he is still breaking his own record, only one step away from Jordan's record of 35+ points in 10 consecutive games in the history of the Jordan team, throughout the history of the NBA league, only 7 people can achieve this achievement, of which the active in addition to him, only James and Harden.
Since entering February, DeRozan has averaged 35.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, shooting 58.4 percent from the field, an achievement that has been achieved by only one person since 1980 — Jordan. It should be noted that in these 11 games, the Bulls have a record of 8 wins and 3 losses.
DeRozan's crazy performance has also attracted a lot of praise from the outside world. Solar defender Paul, who was sidelined from injury today but watched the Bulls' game, tweeted after seeing DeRozan's key performance: "Delmar! You guy is so bad bad bad bad @DeRozan! ”
Teammate Thompson called DeRozan a crime master and was playing a great performance; Dosem bluntly said that he was witnessing a legend; Lakers star James also posted a video on social media saying that "I knew this guy was not an ordinary person..."; rival Eagles head coach McMillan was asked after the game why he lost the game, bluntly saying: "DeRozan is really good ~"

At the start of the season, who would have thought that this was a player who was considered to be about to be eliminated by Knicks management last summer, a team that finished 11th in the East last season with only 31 wins and 41 losses.
Maybe Alphabet Brother is talented, maybe Embiid is good at attacking and defending, maybe Jokic is omnipotent... But in the minds of many, this season's DeRozan definitely deserves the regular season mvp accolade!
