In the G5 of the Bucks and Bulls series, even if the Bucks are missing the team's second leader - Middleton, it is still with the performance of the alphabet brother 33 points, coupled with the excellent performance of Portis and Connaughton, and finally with the performance of 6 people scoring in double figures, they defeated the Bulls 116-100 and advanced to the next round with a big score of 4-1.
Originally, the Bulls had a good chance, as early as the time of the series G2, the Bucks' second boss - Middleton was accidentally injured in the last moments of the game, which made the Bucks suffer a big blow, everyone also pinched a cold sweat for the Bucks, unfortunately, even if the Bucks let the second boss, the Bulls did not seize the opportunity, especially the performance of the team core - DeRozan was even more surprising, in G2, DeRozan had 41 points alone, leading the Bulls to win a victory, but in the next 3 games, DeRozan's highest score was only 23 points, in both G3 and key G5, DeRozan only scored 11 points, such a performance to lead the Bulls to victory over the Bucks, obviously a fool's dream, tragically a round of travel is normal.
However, DeRozan seems to feel good about himself, which is really a bit of a surprise to this author, after the Bulls were eliminated by the Bucks 4-1, DeRozan commented to himself: Can't find a better season, it's a perfect year, get along well with management, teammates and the city, everything is more than I originally imagined. This makes me want to say, what is DeRozan's so-called perfection? Is being eliminated perfect? The key is that the Bucks gave way to a two-in-command situation, eliminated 4-1, if this is perfect, DeRozan's definition of perfection seems to be a little low, and DeRozan's play in the playoffs is really not worthy of the word perfect, the Bulls were eliminated, and he has a direct relationship.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that in the G5 battle, the Bulls themselves are facing a huge dilemma, although the Bucks let the second boss - Middleton, but the Bulls side is 2 major players have failed to play, one is Caruso concussion symptoms, absent from the G5 game, the other is the other core of the team - LaVine is triggered the health and safety agreement, also failed to participate, and LaVine has been suffering from knee injuries for several months, although it has been insisting on playing, but this is more or less affecting LaVine's strength, this is not, After the end of the series, it was reported that LaVine would undergo knee surgery immediately after the end of the season, and as a dunkman, the knee injury did have a great impact on him.
On the other hand, the Bucks side, the alphabet brother is still continuing his fiery state, although there is no outside projection ability, but once he starts to burst into the inside line, almost no one can stop, in this battle, the alphabet brother with 15 shots 11 cut 33 points, shooting rate reached a staggering 73.3%, and Portis although the score is not much, can hand over 14 + 17 large double doubles, it is really amazing, the other is the bench on the bench Connaughton this battle performance is excellent, cut 20 points, three points is 9 shots 6, their outstanding performance, It is the key to the Bucks' promotion, but for the Bucks, their crisis has not yet been touched, because Middleton's recovery does not seem to be ideal, and he is afraid of missing the next round.
To be honest, DeRozan's performance in the regular season is really good, if you only look at the regular season, he did deserve to be perfect when he joined the Bulls in the first year, but DeRozan, who pulled his crotch in the playoffs, has not changed in his career for so many years, is he really worthy of perfection? One round! DeRozan scored 11 points, self-rated the season perfectly, and Middleton feared missing out on the next round
