Chicago Bulls Zach LaVine

Bulls.com

Last year was a very important year for Zach LaVine, a run in which he showed his high numbers were compatible with a Playoff zone team. The issue for the former UCLA student is that once again physical issues have cropped up, which has Quick elimination of the Chicago Bulls at the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks.

The same problems that limited him 67 games and for a long time played at 50%, they allowed DeMar DeRozan to get most of the attention. A fact that slightly changed the focus on LaVine, who until December was at an impressive level. In that way, it could be said that the shooting guard’s previous campaign was somewhat clouded by his physicality and DeRozan’s excellence.

Now, just a few months after signing the max with the Bulls, LaVine will have no excuses. In fact, he has the challenge to confirm in the eyes of the league that he is a top player and the real image of the team. At 26 the scorer of Washington it’s up to him to make Chicago a contender again, it’s not an easy case.

The story ahead of the Chicago Bulls in 2022-2023

Unfortunately, the most important point to follow with the Bulls in this course will be the same as in the last Regular Phase: the health of its key players. The lineup is expected to be the most important for Chicago last season and consists of Ball, LaVine, DeRozan, Williams and Vucevic played just 63 minutes all season.

The various injuries affecting Lonzo and Patrick have prevented Billy Donovan’s men from being as competitive as they could have been expected to be. Which extended to his sixth man, Alex Caruso, who was only available for 41 games.

The positive for the Bulls is the fact that during the time they have had their main names healthy they have been one of the best teams in the Conference, even leading it in several divisions. If they can solve these problems, they could give a lot to talk about, but without even debuting they will no longer be able to rely on Lonzo Ball, who continues to recover from ongoing soreness in his left knee.

As a result, Atlanta made 23 three-pointers and Chicago made 20, and both teams had a shooting percentage close to 50. The teams also frequently missed each other at the basket, so the game resembled a constant exchange of points. The leader changed 20 times in the meeting and the fate of the match was decided at the last minute. Prior to that, the Bulls had built a 6-point advantage, but the Hawks nearly made up for it as the opponents took one of every two shots and Young and Johnson each scored three points for the home team. Still, the outcome was 152:150 in favor of Chicago.

The most productive player of the match was Johnson, who fell one assist short of a triple-double with 36 points and 11 rebounds. The Bulls also had a triple-double contender, but Giddy, who had 19 points and 11 assists, was one rebound short.

Sacramento made a great comeback against Houston and won at home.

Having performed better in the first half, the Rockets eventually gained an advantage of 11 points (68:57) and maintained a comfortable distance from the opponent in the third quarter with 9 points (91:82), and at the beginning of the fourth 12 minutes, this difference increased to +14 – 100:86. But after that the Kings made a 12:0 move and practically equalized: 98:100. Houston then had a few-point advantage, but with 15 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Westbrook made a three-pointer and tied the score at 112:112. The match went to overtime and Schroeder’s three-point shot 4 seconds before the siren was decisive – 125:124.

At the end of this match, Schröder recorded a double-double with 27 points and 10 assists. While Westbrook achieved the same success with 21 points and 13 rebounds, Reynaud also played with 12 points and 14 rebounds.

New York confidently won its home game against Miami.

Heat had a successful performance by winning the first quarter with a score of 37:30, but in the second 12 minutes, the Knicks managed to close the gap and take the lead and entered the long break with +4 – 66:62 on the scoreboard. In the second half, New York constantly kept its opponent within two or three attacks and carried the match to a confident victory with 132:125.
