DeRozan spent an ordinary three seasons with the Spurs, and his career was stagnant for a while, even slipping. In the offseason, DeRozan joined the Bulls. Here, DeRozan shines again. Facing the Bucks' playoff first-round G2, DeRozan scored 41 points, plus seven rebounds and four assists, to help the team equalize 1-1.
In this game, DeRozan's play is very eye-catching. He played 44 minutes and 22 seconds in the game, shooting 16-of-31, including only two three-point shots, the rest of which were layups or shots, scoring a game-high 41 points.
After the game, TNT commentator Barkley praised DeRozan, especially his steady play in the mid-range. Barkley wants DeRozan to tell young players not to rely too much on three-pointers.
DeRozan also responded that he would show the rest of the league that mid-range shots can also score the winning goal. "I want them to watch. I'm trying to master the middle distance. I'm trying to keep the two-pointer alive. ”
After the three-pointer swept the NBA, Dro favored one of the few "master shots" in the league. In the game, DeRozan's shots mostly came from the middle distance. He had mastered this skill to the fullest.
Unfortunately, CIC is no longer popular in the NBA. Previously, the US media announced the NBA's six major shooting hot zones this season, of which 5 are concentrated outside the three-point line and one is concentrated under the basket, and the shooting is not very popular. With DeRozan exploding in the playoffs, hopefully young players will realize the importance of shooting.
