The Bucks came to the Bulls home
In order to avoid the Nets, the Bucks voluntarily lost and chose the Chicago Bulls. It was the best option, the Bulls lost Ronzo Ball, the team was uncompetitive after the All-Star, and it was difficult to win against the top three teams in the East and West throughout the season, which is a typical pseudo-strong team in people's minds. But people are not as good as heaven, and on the stage of the playoffs, anything can happen. The Bucks struggled to win the first game, with DeRozan feeling bad, but in the second game, DeRozan responded.
With 41 points in a single game, DeRozan's unparalleled offensive performance led the Chicago Bulls to pull back a city. Also, the Bucks also lost Big General Middleton. Under such circumstances, the third game of the series will come to the Bulls' home stadium, and the Bucks' situation can be imagined. However, in this game, the Bucks have made the series lose suspense.
A 30-point tragedy was born
But who would have thought that the Chicago Bulls who returned home would feel very bad. DeRozan shot 2-of-5 in the first quarter with just 4 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, LaVine shot 2-of-4 with only 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, Vucevic had 6 points and 3 rebounds, and Caruso hit a three-pointer, which was the Bulls' team-wide score. On the Bucks side, Alphabet Brother only had 2 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, but the whole team bombed 33 points. After returning from the second quarter, the Bucks' offense declined, scoring just 27 points in a single quarter, but the Bulls didn't take the chance.
Caruso hit two three-pointers, DeRozan had 5 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, and Vucevic had 6 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, but Lavine had only 2 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists on 1-of-5 shooting, and the team only scored 24 points, already 19 points behind the Bucks by the end of halftime. In the second half, DeRozan only had 1 shot, relying on free throws to get 2 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, Vucevic became the team's main score point, but only 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, LaVine had 9 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and the three of them bombed 18 points, still all the points of the Bulls.
The Bucks wouldn't give a chance, and by the end of the third quarter, the lead had come to 31 points, such a huge point difference, the game had no hope. After returning from the last quarter, the Bulls did not play the starters again, and Alphabet Brother and Portis came up to play a few rounds and also went off the field. The Bulls' Bradley became a surpriser, shooting 10 points and 3 rebounds on 5-of-5 shooting, and even so, the Chicago Bulls lost to the Bucks 81-111.
Is there still suspense in the series?
After a 30-point defeat, the series score became 1-2 behind, even if the Bucks lost Middleton, but their advantage is still very obvious, the team can score too many players, too many players. The Bulls' biggest weakness is that they have too few players to score. Of the 17 points in the first quarter, except for Caruso hitting a three-pointer, the rest came from the Trident, and the 18 points in the third quarter were all from the Trident. It can be said that winning or losing depends entirely on the play of the trident, but the bull's trident is only a pseudo-big three.
DeRozan clocked out in the third quarter and had only 11 points, five rebounds and four assists on 4-of-9 shooting, LaVine had 15 points, five rebounds and five assists, and Vucevic had 19 points, six rebounds and three assists. When the Trident didn't erupt without a single person, the fiasco was understandable. It is worth mentioning that the home playoff 30-point defeat created the biggest loss point difference in the history of the Bulls. Alphabet brother's stats did not explode much, 18 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists on 7-of-12 shooting, but Allen had 22 points and 6 rebounds, Portis also had 18 points and 16 rebounds, Holliday 16 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, this team's scoring points are too much.
In this game, the Bulls lost 16 points on the inside line, 18 points less than three points, and no matter how strong the mid-range, it could not erase this huge point difference. I have to say that in this round of the series, if Ronzo Ball does not come back, then there will be no suspense.
