White scored 42 points and 9 boards, Trae Young had 22 points and 10 assists, and the Bulls and Hawks played two people without a core position!
On April 18th, Beijing time, the NBA play-offs continued, and today the Bulls sat at home to welcome the challenge of the Hawks, the Heat lost to the 76ers before this game, so the winner of this game will compete with the Heat for eighth place in the division, and Butler is also injured, in this case, almost whoever wins will have a high probability of being able to enter the playoffs, so the two teams also played at a very high level, and finally the Bulls had the last laugh, and then we will briefly talk about the game process, and then talk about the players' play.
Contest Recap:
At the beginning of the first quarter, Murray scored two points to take the lead for the Hawks, and Vucevic responded with an inside kill, and the two sides played very close in the first half of the first quarter, but at the end of the quarter, relying on DeRozan's play, the Bulls led by 18 points in the first quarter, and Azan had 11 points and 5 assists in a single quarter. In the second quarter, under the leadership of Murray, the Hawks once narrowed the deficit to 3 points, but Caruso hit a three-point shot at the end of the quarter to help the Bulls lead by 6 points at halftime, and Murray scored 12 points and 3 assists in a single quarter.
Under the leadership of Murray and Trae Young, the Hawks once narrowed the gap to 3 points, but then the team's offense suddenly lost power, White seized the opportunity to break through and kill continuously, he scored 11 points in a row to help the Bulls extend the lead to 20 points to end the third quarter, the final quarter of the showdown Hawks obviously did not want to give up, but White was like no one, the inside and outside shots could not be stopped, and the Hawks also failed to narrow the difference, and finally the Bulls defeated the Hawks 131-116.
Trae Young is hard to call the core
Trae Young shot 4 of 12 in this game, 3 of 8 three-pointers got 22 points, 2 rebounds and 10 assists, the data is really good, but the main reason for the Hawks' loss in this game is Trae Young, he was targeted by the opponent's various point lists, and the defensive end has become a hidden danger for the team, with a plus-minus of -27 and a wild loss of 27 points on the court.
Trae Young also deliberately gave up the position of the core of the team to Murray, Murray shot 11 of 21 from the field, 3 of 6 from three-point range, and got 30 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. Bogdan and Capela did their best in this game, Bogdan scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists on 8-of-18 shooting and 3-of-10 three-pointers, and Capela scored 22 points, 17 rebounds and 4 assists on 11-of-15 shooting.
After the loss, the Hawks were also eliminated by the Bulls, this season they can be said to be a very failure, the team formed a strong team, but did not get the desired results, from last offseason the Hawks thought about trading away Trae Young, but after the beginning of this season, they felt that Trae Young was not for sale, and now they should have figured out that Trae Young is not worth cultivating as the core of the team, and his defense in the team will always be a hidden danger, and Trae Young is traded by the Hawks in the offseason, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to join the new team to have a core position。
White replaces Lavin
DeRozan established an advantage for the team in the first quarter, and then relied on excellent defense to help the team win, and he scored 22 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal and 1 block on 10-of-19 shooting and 1-of-2 three-pointers. Although Vucevic couldn't guard Capela, he gave the opponent a good response on the offensive end, shooting 11-of-21 from the field and 1-of-6 from three-point range to get 24 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists.
Dosunmu scored 19 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists in the whole game, but Caruso was injured in this game, he sprained his ankle, and got 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on 2 of 3 shots.
The first core of the Bulls' win in this game is undoubtedly White, he shot 15 of 21 from the field, 3 of 7 from three-point range and got 42 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.
40 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 0 turnovers in a single game, White also became the first Bulls player after Jordan, compared to LaVine, the best thing about White is that his ability to play tough battles is more reliable, and at the same time, his ability to lead the team is also better, because the Bulls also want to give up LaVine to completely correct White, and now it is certain that even if LaVine cannot be traded, he will not have a core role after returning.
LaVine as the core of the two years, one year the team locker room problems, the second year the team record directly to the third from the bottom of the East, in the offseason Bulls are expected to try to send LaVine away, but it is difficult to sell for a good price, speaking of which, what do you want to say about the current Bulls and Hawks?
