350 million sets of three-cores did not make the playoffs! Another rebuilding team, all three-cores are pseudo-stars
On April 20th, Beijing time, the NBA play-offs continued, and the results of today's Heat and Bulls game are estimated to be known to everyone, the Heat in the absence of Butler, in the end, they beat the Bulls 112-91, and the team also eliminated the Bulls for two consecutive years to enter the playoffs, and it is also the eighth place in the East, but now the news is that Butler has almost no hope of coming back in the first round, and it is difficult for them to hack the Celtics.
I have to admire Spoelstra's ability, he blew Donovan out in this game, you must know that Donovan's cards are better than the Heat, after all, after Butler's injury, the Bulls' strength on paper is significantly stronger than the Heat, but in the end the team lost miserably, of course, this can't be completely blamed Donovan, the team's formation of the lineup is also the key, this game Spoelstra is to seize the Bulls' weaknesses and crazy targeting.
In order to limit DeRozan's offense, Adebayo defended DeRozan, they knew that DeRozan did not have three points, even if he shot three points, his three points could not be killed, and as a result, Azan was prevented by the opponent, DeRozan shot 8 of 16 in this game, 3 of 6 three-pointers got 22 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, although the efficiency was good, but the Heat achieved the goal, so that Azan did not play a violent output, which is the key to the Heat win.
At the same time, they also let Vucevic go outside, although Vulky has three points, but his three points are also not dead, the result is that Vucevic played very inefficiently, 7 of 17 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers got 16 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists, because neither of them has the ability to space, so the Heat dared to recklessly shrink the defense, so it also led to White not being able to break through at all, White scored 42 points in the last game against the Hawks and relying on inside and outside shooting.
As a result, White shot 5 of 16 from the field, 2 of 8 from three-point range, and got 13 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, and Dosunmu was also not as efficient as in the previous games, shooting 3 of 15 from the field and 2 of 11 from three-point range, with 10 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. On the other hand, the Heat, not only did they target the Bulls well on the defensive end, but they also did the same on the offensive end, with players with shooting ability such as Love and Dunroe getting plenty of playing time.
After they played, they also grasped the problem that Vucevic and Zhuang Shen couldn't pull out, and frequently hit three points, the Heat team shot 14 of 33 three-pointers, with a shooting rate of 42%, and Lefu played 10 minutes, and got 16 points and 7 rebounds on 2 of 3 three-pointers. In the case that the strength of the roster was inferior to the opponent, Spo eliminated the Bulls with better tactical targeting. At the end of the season, the Bulls have also reached a fork in the road.
It can be said that in the past few years, they have invested frantically in the formation of a big team, but it has not been effective, the team has been in the playoffs once since the introduction of DeRozan, and was eliminated in the play-offs twice, of course, this is not DeRozan's problem alone, it is all their core problems, the introduction of DeRozan spent 3 years and 85 million, and DeRozan's contract expired in the offseason.
In the offseason, the Bulls sent a 3-year, 60 million contract extension for Vucevic, and they thought that this signing was very profitable, but now it is actually a loss, Vucevic is not good at defense, and there has been a serious decline in three-point projection, and there is a gap from the league's first-line interior. DeRozan is likely to leave the team voluntarily in the offseason, he wants a big contract and wants to win, and although Vucevic is at a premium, it is not difficult to trade away, and he may be able to exchange for a draft pick.
But it will be difficult for LaVine to get rid of it, after all, LaVine's contract is too big, and in the 22 offseason, the Bulls gave LaVine a 4-year contract of 215 million, and this season is the first year that his contract will take effect, and it will be a super cap salary for many years to come. Therefore, it is difficult to shake off, after all, LaVine's star temperament is very limited, and he can only play the role of second or third leader.
The Bulls have spent $350 million in the past few years to build the current Big Three roster, not counting the blue-collar contracts of Ball Brother and Caruso, and as a result, they haven't even touched the second round of the Eastern Conference for three years, and it can be said that their operation is very successful in such a situation. It is obviously useless for the team to keep their current squad, they have been planning to rebuild since the beginning of this season, and this season's defeat will also strengthen their determination to rebuild.
After the failure of the Hawks this season, they can no longer withstand the pressure, according to the news from the American media, Trae Young and Murray are likely to disintegrate, and the Bulls are expected to disintegrate, and they can build a team around White and Dosunm, the team also has a talent like Pawe, many of their talents have just not been able to get a chance, this team has been running badly since Rose left, and they may need to change the president of operations.
Speaking of which, what do you have to say about the current bulls?
