On February 27, Beijing time, the NBA's new season routine continued. At this stage, with a record of 39 wins and 21 losses, the Chicago Bulls, ranked second in the East, have once again ushered in a new game, taking on the challenge of the Memphis Grizzlies at home. As the most amazing team in the West this season, the Grizzlies' combat effectiveness is still unquestionable; and the Bulls are not the dark horses that have shocked the Four Seats in the East this season? When two teams meet like this, there are still many points to watch.
The Bulls side has a small big three, while the Grizzlies side has a relatively neat lineup, what kind of sparks will burst out from both sides, let's continue to look down! At the beginning of the game, the grizzlies of the West who played away from home took the lead in entering the state, Morant shot 4 of 6 in a single quarter, delivering 9 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal, and starting center Adams even had 9 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists. With the two of them in succession, the Grizzlies hit a 31-22 single-quarter score to take a 9-point lead.
The Chicago Bulls, who entered the second quarter of the showdown and encountered the opponent's noisy domination, can also quickly launch an effective counterattack. DeRozan's form gradually returned in the first quarter of 6 shots and 0, and he could also deliver 5 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, as well as Lavine's 7 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, and Javent Green's 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals, successfully helping the team to play a 30-28 score and recover the 2 points behind in the first quarter. At the end of the first half, the Grizzlies still held a seven-point lead with a 59-52 lead. And the Grizzlies, who are in a leading position in the lead, can further expand the point difference.
In the third quarter, Morant played 12 minutes of game time, and even with an efficient output of 7 shots and 6, he delivered 20 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, helping the team to play a 34-27 score and take a 7-point lead. By the time they reached the crucial final quarter of the showdown, the point difference between the two sides had widened to 14 points, and the Grizzlies were clearly more likely to win the game. But how could a bull compromise so easily? In the regular showdown in the fourth quarter, DeRozan, who had previously delivered 11 points and 2 rebounds, once again threatened, and handed over 13 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.
Regrettably, however, DeRozan's outburst data helped the team play a 31-23 score and recover the eight points they had previously trailed, but after the regular time of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies still rejected the Bulls' reversal with a 116-110 score. To be sure, Morant, who delivered 20 points in a single quarter, performed well in this game. He played 36 minutes in a single game, and with an efficient output of 15 of 28 shots, he delivered a game-high score of 46 points, as well as 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Meanwhile, starting center Adams also played himself, delivering a luxurious double-double of 12 points and 21 rebounds in a single game!
On the other hand, the Bulls, who lost at home, we also had to give a thumbs up to DeRozan's performance. His playing time in this game came to 42 minutes, and he also delivered 21 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and even a three-point output of 100% shooting, 2 of 2 shooting! As a mid-range shooter who has never scored three points, DeRozan's performance in this game is undoubtedly a huge improvement.
