On February 25, Beijing time, an NBA regular season game that ended today, the Bulls knocked back the Hawks at home 112-108! Looking back at the game, the Bulls widened the point difference several times, and then they were all chased by the Eagles, entering the final minute of the decisive moment, DeRozan once again incarnated as Mr. Key, first hitting a hit, and then scoring a 2+1 quasi-kill, ending the Hawks' 2-game winning streak while leading the Bulls to a six-game winning streak.
In this game, DeRozan played 37 minutes, hit 15 goals in 21 shots, including 2 of 3 three-pointers and 5 of 7 free throws, and finally got a comprehensive stat of 37 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. James also posted the dynamics of DeRozan's last key moment shot for the first time, and captioned: "Me and Dream Green already know this, DeRozan will be a beast on the court!" ”
According to statistics, this is the eighth consecutive game in which DeRozan has scored at least 35 points, and even after the All-Star Weekend, the record has not been interrupted, and it is the seventh player in NBA history to do so, the remaining six are Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, Jordan, Kobe, James and Harden.
But if you score at least 35 points in the eighth consecutive game, plus at least 50% of the shooting rate per game, then DeRozan has become the first person in history, even the basketball god Michael Jordan, who has not achieved such an achievement in his career. In this era of three-point shooting, DeRozan inherited the style of play of Jordan and Kobe Bryant, and continued to carry forward the skill of dry pulling and shooting.
In addition, throughout February, DeRozan averaged 35.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, shooting 58.4% from the field, the second player in NBA history to do so, and the other player's name is Michael Jordan! While constantly playing insoluble performances, the Bulls' record is also at the top of the Eastern Conference, and there should also be DeRozan's place in this season's MVP battle!
In fact, in the offseason last year, DeRozan very much hoped to join the Lakers, even if it was a salary cut, but the Lakers management believed that DeRozan had become an All-Star marginal player and was unwilling to give him a three-year contract, and finally DeRozan signed a three-year, $82 million contract with the Bulls. On the other hand, the Lakers chose to trade with Westbrook, and this season Westbrook has not been able to integrate into the team, and the Lakers' record is very bad, missing DeRozan, they regret that it is too late.
