The NBA playoffs continued, and the Bucks' game against the Bulls G5 officially began. This game is a very crucial game for the Bulls, because losing this game means being eliminated by the Bucks. Unfortunately, the Bucks played quite well in this game, and both offensive and defensive ends were also fully suppressed by the Bulls. In the first half, the Bucks took an 18-point lead. Even in the second half, the Bucks still firmly grasped the advantage on the court, and the Bucks easily defeated the Bulls 116-100 in the fourth quarter, and eliminated the Bulls 4-1 in the series to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Objectively speaking, the Bucks won this game as well-deserved. The reason for this is also very simple, that is, the Bucks have an absolute advantage in all the statistics of the game. Below, take a look at the comparison of the data of the two teams in this game. Rebounding: The Bucks grabbed 51 rebounds and the Bulls 37 rebounds. In terms of free throw count: The Bucks scored 16 free throws and the Bulls 6. In terms of shooting percentage: The Bucks shot 49% from the field and 38% from three-point range. The Bulls shot 42 percent from the field and 28 percent from three-point range. Obviously, in the face of these data comparisons, it can only be said that the Bulls have lost their standards in this game.
Okay, after talking about the winning Bucks, let's talk about the losing Bulls. As for the overall progress of the Bulls game, I will not tell you about it here, and this article editor would like to focus on talking to you about DeRozan. I don't know, what do you think of DeRozan? Anyway, my evaluation of DeRozan has only one sentence: "both pity and hateful". Unfortunately, DeRozan's season is over, and at the end of the game, DeRozan once again showed the melancholy look he had before, and he showed that unwilling look again. It has to be said that seeing this look does regret DeRozan, after all, a season of hard work is over after this game, which is undoubtedly a fact that we do not want to see.
After saying that, it's a pity, let's talk about hate. To put it bluntly, deRozan's most hateful thing is that he has never been able to prove that he is a real superstar and not a pseudo-superstar. Or it can be said that DeRozan has never been able to get rid of the regular season Dragon, the playoff bug evaluation. Perhaps, many fans will say that the editor is nonsense. However, as the saying goes, "data doesn't lie". Played the best season of his career during the regular season, and was once seen as a hot candidate for MVP. However, deRozan's performance after entering the playoffs plummeted, and DeRozan scored 18 points, 41 points, 11 points, 23 points and 11 points in five games in the playoffs. Apart from the normal performance of G2, we really didn't see DeRozan on the field in the other 4 games.
Seeing the fans here will say again, the Bulls can't all blame DeRozan for losing. After all, Bauer, Caruso, and Lavin didn't make it to the game. Yes, the player's injury has undoubtedly weakened the Bulls' strength. But I would say that DeRozan failed to take on the responsibilities of a leader at a critical moment. In this game, for example, DeRozan only made 10 shots and scored 11 points, and it is clear that such statistics and the number of shots are not at all what a leading player should look like. So for DeRozan, the offseason really should be thought about, and the new season really can't drop the chain at key moments like this.
