In the last quarter of the Chicago Bulls’ confrontation with the San Antonio Spurs, DeMar DeRozan performed a “supernatural” performance, scoring forty points in the game and contributing to his team’s victory (120-109) in the NBA competitions. Chicago entered the last quarter late by six points, but DeRozan was present, scoring 11 points out of 13 for his team, which returned to the lead. The 32-year-old said he tried to stay calm all the time, especially in the third quarter when Spurs excelled (32-24). “Going into the last quarter, my main priority is to win at any cost,” he said. You have to understand the whole game. It’s hard to get off the ball and be aggressive and try to score.” “You have to dissect the game,” he added. I collect the data throughout the match, and in the fourth quarter I understood everything.”
DeRozan scored 30 or more points in seven consecutive games, and set a record with his team with his sixth consecutive game in which he scored more than 35 points, surpassing the legend Michael Jordan in the 1996-1997 season.
