The Bucks face the Bulls
Facing the old owner, DeRozan finally led the Chicago Bulls out of the quagmire of losing streak with an unparalleled personal performance. However, this can not hide the fact that the Bulls are a pseudo-strong team in the East, and so far this season, the Bulls have faced the top three teams in the East and West, and the record is a terrible 0-15. After the All-Star, the Bulls lost more than they won less, and the ranking also fell to fifth in the East, this game, they want to challenge the Milwaukee Bucks in the third place in the East, can they break the spell of 0-15?
The gap between the two teams' records is not large, the Bucks are only 2 wins ahead of the Bulls, and as long as they win this game, the Bulls can narrow the gap to one win. This game was also changed to a nationwide live broadcast. The Bucks' second-in-command Middleton is out of the team due to injury, can the Chicago Bulls seize the opportunity?
The bull was beaten the whole time
But who would have thought that at the beginning of the first quarter of the game, the Bulls collapsed, DeRozan only had 2 points on 1-of-5 shooting, LaVine shot 1 of 4 but only 3 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, fortunately, Vucevic stood up in time, 5 shots 4, three-pointers and 3 shots, got 11 points and 1 rebound, but the Bulls only scored 20 points. Although the alphabet brother made 4 mistakes, he still got 10 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, leading the team to 33 points in a single quarter. After returning from the second quarter, DeRozan still did not find his touch, only 3 points and 1 rebound on 1-of-6 shooting.
DeRozan's performance was so bad that the Bulls naturally had no competitiveness to speak of, and they still only scored 23 points in a single quarter, and Lopez scored 8 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block on 3-of-5 shooting, and gradually recovered after the comeback, leading the Bucks to lead the Bulls 59-43 at the end of halftime. In the second half, DeRozan finally stood up, with 12 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal on 6-of-9 shooting, but even so, the Bulls only scored 26 points, and the Bucks seized the opportunity to extend the lead to 22 points.
Such a huge point difference basically declared that the game lost its suspense. After returning from the final quarter, DeRozan led the team for a while, taking 4 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists on 2-of-3 shooting, but the point gap showed no signs of narrowing. With 4 and a half minutes left in the game, the two teams replaced all the main players, and the game entered garbage time. In the end, the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Chicago Bulls 126-98.
The Eastern Pseudo-Strongs were born
After losing this game, the Bulls faced the top three teams in the East and West, and the record became 0-16, which is undoubtedly a typical pseudo-strong team, and none of them can beat the strong team. DeRozan had 21 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, Lavine 21 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, Vucevic 22 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, and the trio scored 20+, other than that, no other player scored in double figures. As for the Bucks, although the alphabet brother made 9 mistakes, 25 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks on 9-of-12 shooting, he still helped the team and returned to second place in the East.
Alphabet Brother is very efficient in this game, but the state is really average. However, the Bucks played perfect team basketball, Holliday had 27 points and 7 assists on 12-of-17 shooting, as many as 7 people on the team scored in double figures, and Lopez Jr. also had 10 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, and scored in double figures for the first time after his comeback. Ibaka on the bench has 11 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, and also occupies a very important rotation position in today's Bucks. I have to say that the defending champion or the defending champion, whether it is the strength of the star or the lineup matching, is the top of the league.
