“He moved on. » The report launched by DeMar DeRozan was confirmed on the floors. As a reminder, Zach LaVine came out very frustrated from the meeting against Orlando, where he had spent the “money time” on the bench after shooting at 1/14…
Before receiving the Celtics, who remained on nine straight wins, the back of the Bulls had calmed the game with Billy Donovan. “His decision was to try to do the best thing for the team, which I respect,” did he declare. “If we had won, I would have been delighted. We lost, so I wasn’t. »
With 22 points at 8/20 to shoot, including nine in the last minutes of the game, not to mention 5 rebounds and 5 assists, in the victory against Boston, Zach LaVine was able to bounce back and put this frustration behind him.
“I went home, I took stock of my game, with the good and the bad matches”explains the All-Star for NBC Sports. “I spoke to my wife, my father a lot too. He told me things very clearly: that I had played like shit, that it was only one match, that we had to do better next time. »
His teammate DeMar DeRozan made the same speech. “Show me a player who plays 82 matches and each of whom is perfect, and who has never had a bad match”, asks the former Toronto. ” These are things that happen. You shouldn’t be dominated by that. »
We must therefore keep the thesis of the accident for this outing against Orlando. “Everyone has a career worst game, you just don’t know when it can happen,” concludes Zach LaVine. “It was that night for me. I played hard, took my shots, missed easy shots, which I usually score. Even if I make 1/14, I felt my shots well. I feel better and better physically. We won, that’s all that matters. »
