The NBA's regular season continued, with the Bulls vs. The Hawks, and in the end, the Bulls beat the Hawks 112-108. In terms of statistics, the Bulls Lavine had 20 points and 5 rebounds, Vucevic had 12 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks; the Hawks' Trae Young had 14 points, 10 assists and 4 turnovers on 3-of-17 shooting, Gallinari had 26 points and 9 rebounds, Bogdan came off the bench to contribute 27 points and 5 rebounds, and Capela had 14 points, 17 rebounds and 2 blocks.
The performance of these players can only be said to be OK, and the really amazing person seems to be only one person, and this person is DeRozan, this season's All-Star starter. In the past few seasons, DeRozan has played very generally with the Spurs, and his personal characteristics have not been shown very clearly. Even the All-Stars didn't get in. But this season, everything is completely different.
In such a game, DeRozan cut down 37 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal of the explosive data. Such DeRozan is indeed very domineering. As a fan, for such a DeRozan, you may only sigh, he is so amazing, at the age of 32 years to usher in the second spring, this seems a little incredible, right? Because before that, the 32-year-olds we knew were basically going downhill.
Perhaps the worst of such a game is DeRozan's performance at a crucial moment, when DeRozan cut a 2+1 and directly killed the game. So DeRozan, indeed fierce. As a fan, I am also aware of this. Previously, many people said that DeRozan was not good at key moments, not in the playoffs. Today, we still don't know about the playoffs, but the performance of this regular season is really amazing.
Similarly, for DeRozan, this game is also his 8 consecutive 35+, becoming the seventh player in NBA history to score at least 35 points in eight consecutive games after Chamberlain, Baylor, Jordan, Kobe, James, harden. In the past eight games, DeRozan's output is like this: against the Hawks, cut 37 points, 6 boards and 3 assists; against the Kings, cut 38 points, 6 boards and 6 assists; against the Spurs, cut 40 points, 3 boards and 7 assists; against the Thunder, cut 38 points, 6 boards and 5 assists; against the Timberwolves, cut 35 points, 6 boards and 6 assists; against the Hornets, cut 36 points, 5 boards and 4 assists; against the Suns, cut 38 points, 5 boards and 4 assists; against the 76ers, cut 45 points, 9 boards and 7 assists.
DeRozan is so powerful, a regrettable thing is that in the previous MVP list, DeRozan did not enter the top three. The top three candidates were Embiid, Jokic and Alphabet Brother. Such three people, interestingly, are not American athletes. Embiid is from Cameroon, Jokic is from Serbia, and Alphabet is from Greece. The highest-ranking U.S. player is DeRozan, who is fourth.
Fifth? Paul. Sixth, Curry. Such a reality also gives people an incredible feeling. That is, DeRozan is so good that he did not expect to be able to enter the top three of the MVP list. Such a list gives the impression that it does not seem to be very friendly to DeRozan. Such a reality is also something that many fans cannot let go. That is, why is there not enough respect for DeRozan? It's worth dissecting.
Key 2+1 kill matches, 8 consecutive 35+, such DeRozan does not deserve MVP? In any case, I personally still feel that this season's DeRozan is definitely an MVP-level player. For all parties, he should still have more understanding and tolerance, do you say?
