On April 7, Beijing time, the Bulls officially announced that the team's defender Lonzo Ball will miss the rest of the season schedule, the season is reimbursed, and he began to prepare for the 2022-23 season. Manager Donovan revealed that Bauer's left knee was unwell during the recovery and he still had to meet with doctors. I haven't heard from him for a long time, but what I am waiting for is reimbursement...
Fast forward to January 21 of this year, when the Bulls officially announced: Ronzo Bauer suffered a slight tear on the meniscus of his left knee! He successfully underwent knee arthroscopic surgery on 29 January, when the expected absence time was 6-8 weeks. Even if it is eight weeks, he should return at the end of March. On March 22, the news came out that the ball brother stopped running to resume the project.
Let's take a look at the number of five seasons he has played in the NBA: 52, 47, 63, 55 and 35, and none of them have reached 65. This season, The ball brother averaged 34.6 minutes per game, with 13 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.8 steals, shooting 42.3% from the field and three-point range.
In the impression of many fans, the ball brother is a crooked shot, and three points are not enough. In fact, in the past two seasons, the shooting ability of the ball brother has improved a lot, and he has averaged 3.1 three-pointers per game this season, the 8th in the league. With a three-point shooting percentage of 42.3 percent, he ranked seventh in the league, with Seth Curry (42.4 percent) in top of him.
In the 2020-21 season, he also averaged 3.1 three-pointers per game, but his three-point shooting rate (37.8%) was not as good as this season. In fact, in the past five seasons, the three-point shooting rate of the ball brother has been improving: 30.5%, 32.9%, 37.5%, 37.8% and 42.3%, and his shooting posture is no longer crooked.
Not only has the ball brother improved significantly in his three-point shooting, but his defense has always been online. This season's ball brother's defensive efficiency is 78th in the league, 28th in the interference three-point league, and 5th in the steals league. Magic Johnson recently praised on the show: "Ball is one of the best defensive point guards I have ever seen, and the Knicks did not make the playoffs, only blame them for not signing Ball." 」 ”
Before the ball brother was injured, the Bulls were in first place in the East with 28 wins and 13 losses, and the Bulls are currently sixth in the East with 45 wins and 34 losses. Not only the ball brother, Caruso and Lavin have also suffered injuries, and the Bulls' record is naturally difficult to maintain. DeRozan has scored 50, 26 and 40 points in the last three games, but the Bulls have only 1 win and 2 losses.
Brother Qiu's left knee is considered an old injury, and in January 2018, brother Qiu's left knee was torn by an accessory ligament. In June 2018, he suffered another meniscus tear in his left knee and surgically removed part of the meniscus. In January 2019, he was also reimbursed for the season due to a torn ligament in his left ankle. As the 2017 top-notch show, The Ball Brother should have had a better career, but alas...
Looking back at the 2017 draft, Fultz's current contract is $37.4 million for four years; $80 million for four years; $163 million for five years for Tanhua Tatum; $9.77 million for 2 years for No. 4 Show Josh Jackson; and $163 million for Five For Fox for Five. The ball brother's contract is exactly in the middle.
