What memory will we keep of this beautiful edition of the « LaVinico » ? That of a match with very high stakes between two teams from the soft underbelly of their respective conference. Like the impression that this issue has transformed the soldiers into “cliché” heroes of an American TV movie. DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine landed 88 points, that’s not a little too much ?
The pretty homemade boxscore is HERE!
Two extensions, straggler Bulls against Wolves without Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards, out with an ankle injury (but who put the points suddenly?). The match would have lasted 48 minutes that we would still have slept very well. DeMar DeRozan still finished with 49 points on 15/25 shooting, 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. Zach LaVine scored ten units less, or 49-10 that’s still 39. The counters went high in the towers. However, only the person who farted on his computer by falling asleep on it will remember the meeting. THE 11/24 3-pointers from Chicago and their only twelve lost balls are part of the good points of this success. The image of an attack dependent on the ball carrier did the trick. little movement off ball, Pat Beverley not at the level of a starting five which plays the qualification in Playoffs, Alex Caruso put aside by the offensives of the duo DeRozan – LaVine. Fixings in one-on-one and poof, everything that happens on the turn is annihilated.
Opposite, even if he only shot 4/14, Kyle Anderson finished the game in triple-double with 11 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists. Jaden McDaniels scored 25 points in a valuable Swiss army knife role (which means absolutely everything and nothing) while Rudy Gobert dropped a double-double to 21 points and 19 rebounds. Only regret, the five lost balloons of the French. This raises questions about his use of leather. Too many seconds spent deciding what to do. But where Wolves really fell – aside from Edwards’ injury – was that lack of attacking talent. No superstar, who to take over? An assembly of players still not transformed into a collective. It’s been going on for several weeks. Be careful at the end of the season if Ant goes to the infirmary.
