The Bulls have a record in the top four in the East this season, and the reason for such a good result is inseparable from the performance of a player, this player is DeRozan. He averaged 27.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game this season, a performance that also made DeRozan an All-Star starter this year, and no one doubted the player's ability anymore. In a game that just ended not long ago, the Bulls made a big comeback in the final quarter, beating the visiting Timberwolves by a score of 134-122, and DeRozan played very crucial in the fourth quarter, scoring 16 points in a single quarter, and he was also the biggest contributor to leading the team to win.
In the last three games, DeRozan has gone completely crazy, scoring 38 points against the Suns, 36 points against the Hornets, and 36 points against the Timberwolves. And in these three games DeRozan only hit a total of 3 three-pointers, the other goals are all from the three-point line, in the small-ball era like DeRozan is really very few, he can be said to be the last classical guard, the last Bulls player who wanted to play like him was Michael Jordan, and now deRozan, who is wearing the number 11, is copying the old path that Jordan has taken, and he is the key to the Revival of the Bulls.
DeRozan has also received a resounding name this season, that is, the king of the last quarter! He tends to come out in the fourth quarter to save the team, and in the last three games DeRozan scored 15, 9 and 16 points in the fourth quarter, respectively, and performed very well. In fact, this is the epitome of his entire season, and DeRozan has inherited Jordan's killer qualities, so he can always make a big splash in the fourth quarter. In fact, in such a small-ball era, all outside players play quite magic balls, basically no one chooses a very low cost performance of mid-range shooting, I am afraid that only DeRozan is insisting on such a style of play, the last pearl of the old era.
Now DeRozan really has the shadow of his idol Kobe Bryant, the same King of the Last Quarter, the same killer at key moments. Although everyone is obsessed with shooting three-pointers now, but the three-point shot is really not good, everyone thinks that the NBA 10 years ago was the best, this is a fact, the NBA of that era was indeed the most exciting. Both the rhythm of the game and the way the players play are out of step with this era. Perhaps it is this old-school style of play that has allowed DeRozan to attract a large number of fans, and this year's All-Star is the best proof.
Maybe after DeRozan retired, such a style of play will never be seen in the NBA, and now we are witnessing the gradual loss of one of the best technologies in the NBA. But that's just a guess, but the NBA is also a circle, going from fast-paced games to slow-paced games and then continuing to become fast-paced games. DeRozan's technique is not lost, and there are now a lot of basketball-loving kids watching DeRozan play in front of the TV.
In the future, they will also come to the court to imitate DeRozan's way of playing, so there will still be people who will bring it to the NBA. This season, the Bulls have deRozan's help, the strength is very strong, or is expected to rush out of the East, DeRozan can also bring this technology to the stage of the Finals, we hope that this classical art can be on a bigger stage.
