The Bulls' performance this season, the biggest impression is that it is not long enough to last at the peak. In the early days, everyone thought that the Bulls players drank Red Bull, especially DeRozan's performance, which made countless Lakers fans regret it. If it had been DeRozan, the Lakers would not have fallen into this field this season. However, everyone's envy did not last long, because the bull's performance began to slowly decline after the peak. If it weren't for DeRozan holding out the last wave of decline, their ranking would have gone down. It can be seen that the current Bulls are not yet a strong team. The resulting discussion of the value of ability is that the current bull is not run-in enough, and the ability between the players does not reach the peak. Chemistry didn't help this team take to the next level, and their opponents are bound to take a very serious hit in the playoffs.
Bulls are currently in this situation, but inside the bulls, there are actually strong points. Which one? Levine. To be honest, I've seen a lot of cloud fans evaluate LaVine, and the most stays in the dunk contest. Aside from dunks, can jump, bulls leader, there are no other adjectives. In fact, Lavin is the Bull's most valuable asset. Because this is the player leader they have the most hope of breaking through. It can even be said that whether the giant combination can play a role is essentially based on Lavin's ability.
We can define first, when the Bulls successfully win a series and succeed in the real sense, that is when LaVine transforms from an All-Star to a superstar. Yes, LaVine is still an All-Star player. The key to his success is whether he can take the team to a higher level of field. To be honest, Now LaVine is in the same situation as Trae Young, Booker and other players in the early days. It is that the environment of the team is more awkward, and the personal data is still relatively good-looking. Weak team brush, this noun is a code name. Trae Young and Booker, on the other hand, have both completed their metamorphosis in the last two seasons, and the others have let everyone know their abilities. But with regard to Lavin, there is no definition yet, or rather, Lavine does not have the ability to get out of this strange circle.
What is Lavin's ability? He is a more reliable player and has excellent offensive efficiency. The word "comparative" is used to describe it because Lavine does not yet have a clear definition and he cannot stabilize the output for a long time. And Lavine doesn't have a high-intensity game to test his ability now. Like Booker, last season's playoffs have proven themselves, so people won't doubt his numerical values. LaVine obviously did not have this opportunity, and the actual performance was indeed relatively average.
In the early part of the season, LaVine still showed good ability. He's one of the few players in the league to have more than 60 percent true shooting efficiency despite guaranteed 30 percent utilization. In other words, Lavin can be done with quality and quantity. By increasing usage, Lavin has the opportunity to improve its output again. This lays the foundation for the playoffs, and many players will decline in stats after improving their efficiency, but LaVine does not have this problem at present.
For the Bulls, LaVine is a player who can improve the conversion offense, and their speed and space are relatively strong. Therefore, the team led by LaVine is obviously more efficient in scoring in the fast attack area than other teams. This season, the Bulls are 13th in the league in fast-break scoring, while fast-attack shooting efficiency is third in the league. In other words, if the configuration and tactics are changed and the bulls' speed is raised, their fast attack score should be raised to a new level, after all, they have a fast attack shooting rate. It is worth mentioning that the Bulls' fast-attack scores are largely provided by LaVine, who averages 3 fast-attack points per game, ranking 12th in the league.
Lavine's running and jumping advantage is actually vividly reflected in the offensive end. He has a big pace and is good at changing directions, so LaVine often sneaks into the opponent's holes on the offensive end. On the field, you can even often see that after Lavin's high-speed impact, followed by a big jump, he completes the layup. But this situation will be invalidated because the opponent's defensive area is too large and Lavin's impact force is not enough. So in the years that followed, Lavine was gaining muscle in order to improve his ability to fight. After all, if the confrontation goes up, Lavin's efficiency in entering the basket area will become higher, and the scoring efficiency can be further improved. At the same time, LaVine has also used his skills as much as possible in scoring, and the most obvious improvement this season is that LaVine has balanced the ball with DeRozan while ensuring shooting efficiency. And this progress happens to be the most important factor that does not limit the bull now. Everyone thought there would be a stronger ball-playing clash between Lavin and DeRozan. But in fact, they both tried to balance their no-ball ratio as much as possible, which gave both scorers room to blend in with each other. This is also the main reason why we say that the performance of the Bulls giants needs to look at LaVine, because Lavin is indeed sacrificing himself and changing his playing style in exchange for the progress of the team.
What is the most crotch-pulling place on Lavin's body at the moment? It's defensive. This question has also been said for a long time, and the pull is the team's defensive weakness. So you can probably guess why the team needs Caruso and Ball, and strengthening the defense on the outside is the first priority of the Bulls. The additional organization and three points are actually more of a icing on the cake.
It feels like Lavin in this period is very similar to the original Carter. There is a good scoring ability, and at the same time there is a good shooting quality, and the range is also stretched. Can buckle and shoot, defense is almost interesting, so it is roughly conceivable that LaVine's future path is to break the limitations of carter's model. Carter is an individual type player with no systemic attributes. LaVine is also a truth, he can't play with the system, so his driving role in the team is relatively low. Now Lavin's contribution to the Bulls is essentially his own ability, that is, the effect of going it alone. As for the chemical fusion between the teams, Lavin has not done well. The only good momentum is that Lavin already knows the general direction, as can be seen from this sacrifice. This also explains that LaVine can only truly transform into a superstar if he helps the team to win the series. Because at this time Lavin can achieve a tandem team that meets everyone's expectations!
