Impressive, DeRozan mixed his game up long-range, with mid-range, drive, kicks, and timely passes out of solid double teams, Buck's good mid-range defensive scheme was blown up
Still a raps fan and always will be. Doesn’t change the fact that DeRozan has been and always will be my favourite player. When I first started ball, I modelled my own game after DeRozan. Till this day, when nothing else works, I’ll go for the midrange shots and till this day it hasn’t failed me. My username in some online games was even Lil_DeRozan.
This is likely (but not certainly) going to wind up as the greatest game of his career, considering context. He looked like Kobe, just a magical performance. Props to him and the Bulls for being so competitive, they definitely believe they can win this series.
@@XxLilBxX1 In the real world. Do you think people are delusional lol? You think the Orlando magic thought they could beat the Bucks in 2020 for instance?
@@RandyRhoadsRules3 yeah. Teams don’t come into the playoffs with a loser mentality. Just because we in the outside looking in feel that way doesn’t mean the players do. That’s a front runner mentality. Young teams would never get better with that mentality. Especially a 4-5 matchup.
@@ja1boi not all teams come in with that mentality but I'm quite positive some of them have and will in the future. It's probably part of the reason they lose.
@@HighGaming2302 well…his midrange and footwork emulates Kobe a lot, it’s been known that his play style has always resembled Kobe’s lmao it’s not foreign. Demar was 16 when he started to study kobe and his game and eventually trained with him. I think it’s fair to say the Kobe comparison makes sense lol
@@airjordan2604 I understand all that bro but literally everybody who’s anybody who’s anybody compares him to Jordan, he literally plays for the bulls so why go straight to Kobe??
Because he takes his game after Kobe. Growing up in Compton, wearing his shoes, training with him. He’s closer to Kobe than Jordan. Even if the game traces its roots back to Jordan.
@@HighGaming2302 Devin Booker takes his game after kobe, Jayson Tatum takes his game after Kobe, lots of people that have trained with Kobe take their game FROM Kobe, would it sound right if let’s say they were all on the bulls to say they lookin like Jordan just cause they’re on the bulls? No because none of them ever trained and crafted their game with or after jordan.
Hell ye we need to see more from the bench too, especially from javonte coby and dosunmu but mainly we need a better defense cuz we can't afford to give giannis and lopez those free drives and dunks
@@erenjuniord.yeager5247 that’s the problem, if they put those guys in they get cooked instantly cause they’re so small. but coby had a decent game 1 so hopefully he watches film and comes back better for game 3
His style reminds me Tracy Mc Grady ,Simple and Smooth AF ;You watch him play shot after shot and at the end of the game his scores already reach 40-50.
Bro I went to game 2 and it looked like everything was going in.Without knowing I would told you he was 20/20. Never seen someone will through everyone tonight‼️‼️
Ppl really say he didn’t perform well in these playoffs: he & Zach were the focal points of the Bucks defense not to mention it’s hard to get going when your team isn’t fully healthy and y’all are down 25+ damn near every game. Lonzo was needed man, badly. And this is coming from a Miami fan
Hell of a bounce back game for DeMar. Only 6-25 in game 1. Shoots 14-31 in game 2. He didn’t let his horrible shooting performance in game 1 rattle his confidence. He’s had playoff demons in the past during his time with the Raptors & Spurs, but I believe he’ll exercise them. But it really depends on how far they go. But DeMar killed in this game.
watch 2:55 Giannis' foot is so forward it almost injured DeRozan. Reminds me of what happened last year. Really makes me questioning the ethic of him as a pro athlete
And people think he is a nice wholesome guy because of his fake ass nice persona on TV 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 wish this clown never wins anything again in his career
Coach Pop really did change him and unlocked his Mamba Mentality. He just couldn’t do it on the Spurs cause he had to carry that team and do everything. From being the main scorer while at the same time being their main facilitator.
Pop didnt change him, he was always deadly from midrange with the raptors...the only team that gave tgem problems in the playoffs was Lebron's Cavs. Yall just paying attention now cos he is on a team in the US. Spurs playing style didnt bring out the best in hin either, he needs that iso freedom often.
@@mctreasure I haven't been paying attention now. I've been paying attention since time, I'm literally a Raptors fan. And he did change him. You can look up his numbers from his Raptor days to his Spur days. He's become more efficient on the Spurs. During his prime (2013-14 to 2017-18) with the Raptors his career average in field goal percentage was 44.5% while when he was on the Spurs he never dropped below 48% and posted a career average 50.1%. On his second year with the Spurs he was shooting 53% from the field. That's crazy efficiency compared to his Raptor days. He became a way better playmaker overtime on the Spurs too, averaging 6.2 assists with them vs his 4.2 assists average with the Raptors. You can't convince me Pop didn't change him when the numbers literally show it. He is the first Spurs player IN HISTORY to average 20PPG, 5APG, 5RPG.
@@krisskrosssss stop posting outdated metrics. Pop took the ball out of his hands and had him initiate the offence. I don’t believe you watched his Toronto days if you’re trying to argue pop did anything for him. He was an elite shot creator in Toronto and averaged his career high here.
demar derozan abusing giannis on offense on several possessions is such an eye opener. having vuc a big that can spread the floor adds so much value to the team overall!
well this just sums up what Magic said " If we gat DeRozan, worst case scenario we' be on the playoffs, This is greatness as just a beauty from Derozan, What a gamd
Been saying it for years but I have personally never watched a better 2 point scorer than demar derozan. Absolutely gorgeous to watch. I also was born in 98 so didn’t watch Jordan
Was crazy was there was at least four to five times that Giannis antetokounmpo was guarding DeMar DeRozan and he fouled DeMar DeRozan and modern Rose and made the shot and they didn't even call the + 1 that's the only thing that scares me about the NBA there's some players on certain nights they won't even look at them and they do the most dirt just because they're all stars
sheeeeesh, deebo was scoring effortlessly on a former dpoy. he's gotten so much better since he left toronto. siakam needs to study his footwork 24/7 for the next month.
Cooking Giannis. Literally looked for that man to guard him. DPOY my ass; no one’s looking to cook any DPOY; he’s a great interior defender not a perimeter one I’m a Heat fan, but idc what anyone says - if they had Lonzo they could’ve came out the East
Game 3 is ALL ABOUT LAVINE!! Bucks will make adjustments and jrue is gonna have Demar plus help. Friday we see if Zach deserves to me on that next tier
& the boy went 8-9 with 16 points with Giannis as the primary defender. DeRozan just gets buckets. I’m a Chicago fan & I had to listen to casuals tell me he was the worst FA signing of the summer, then the dude has the best season he’s ever had, people are crazy. But real talk, I’m happy to see Lavine willing to take a backseat to Demar too, it helps the team.

Only if Bron's "historian of the game" ass knew what his value was! We would have been in the playoffs smh

It gotta hurt watching knowing he wanted to be a laker but y'all choose russ 😂
@@mrpete89 it does! It rlly does 😪
"No way in hell I shoot 6-25 again" 🔥
He lived up to it so far…..
He never gave up in the clutch moments

He was getting no calls at all. There was so many times that Giannis fouled him it's insane
League wants bucks to win
Well the buck stops here!
THANK YOU

Me too raretheo.
you people threw him out. the raps don't deserve him. just be glad that you stole a ring.

Last of a dying Breed. His game reminds me so much of the guards/forwards I grew up watching 💯
All swish. Save for the dagger layup. This man is a master at his game
Dude I noticed that too lol
It was insane
It looks like I'm watching the next Mamba. Keep giving life to the mid-range jumpshots, DeMar.
Got his baskets the hard way the old school way
Yo wtf he was swooshing everywhere. The mastery he has over the midrange is sick.
all contested to lol

Gianni’s was going under demar a lot. Some of these were fouls and possibly injury
Yeah! There are extra steps going under Demar when Giannis were guarding him.
He was going right at Him
giannis could never guard derozan lmao
Man Giannis extra step is dangerous
The thing I like about DeRozan is he doesn't wear himself out with long three's. His game is the midrange pick you apart 👍
Demar was looking like a prime Kobe Bryant out there the way he was scoring out there

Look at Giannis’ feet, this guy also put his feet on DeRozan’s landing spot
Yeah he did it twice and it's frustrating cause vooch got called for the same thing
Such a dirty defence
Always … fouled so many times too ,
I respect this brother for having an first team all nba caliber season. Just need 25 ppg from Zach lavine and we just might pull it off

Death by a thousand cuts. That’s how his midrange game feels like
honestly that's the best explanation of for it I'm dead asf
Too funny and too true

MVP DeRozan was scoring on Giannis big traveling azz like he don't foul people always pushing off. Madhouse on Madison here we come GO BULLS
Chuck guaranteed a sweep
Exactly they be giving him all these extra fouls when someone breaths on him
Coach pop teach him a lot, since he still spurs. He improves so much.
sounds like someone should've taught pop how to use him then.
YEAAA AS A BULLS FAN I GLAD WE TIED THE SERIES UP ITS DEMAR DEROZAN TIME LETSSS GOOOO🔥🔥🔥🔥😈😈
Derozan has a plausibly reminiscent of Kobe imo
Love his foot work. Old school player. Not much NBA players plays like this.
He’s gotta play like that the rest of the series
This is why they call DeRozan the lone midranger
Mad respect for bouncing back with a career playoff best performance! Let's see if he can keep it going and make this a fun series
DeRozan = Mid-range God 🔥🔥🔥🔥
DeRozan is Chicago's Best!! We love him. We respect him, highly!!
MVP-level performance tonight by DeMar
The celtics have better defense than the bucks

“Small” ? Lol pg may be a inch or so taller but they weigh about the same and pg ain’t got the mid range game like demar

Great game. Go Bulls make a series out of it.
We speaking that championship for demar derozan. The man was staying busy tonight
Derozan kobe 🥰👌
He so cold that he pushes people outta his landing space without following through
Y’all wanna talk about Kobe bc that’s his idol, but he reminds me so much of MJ. No 3’s, graceful footwork. Love to see it
