At the start, there were also brief discussions with the coach during the match, there were also somewhat modest figures, and then Nikola Vucevic "exploded" in the fourth match of the new NBA season and showed how much the Chicago Bulls game depends on him.
The Montenegrin basketball player with 24 points and 17 rebounds "smashed" Indiana two nights ago, and "Sports Illustrated" writes that his excellent play came after he emphasized the need for the ball to go under the basket more, in moments when the rival does not like such a game.
"The big guy came, he was dominant and in this match he did his thing," said Demar Derozan, Vucevic's teammate.
The Chicago star also told an interesting situation from the locker room.
"Vuch cursed us last week in his own language and it paid off," revealed the former Toronto and San Antonio basketball player.
Derozan also says that they did not understand what Vucevic was telling them.
"But we said, OK. We have to be aware that we have to take advantage of our key players. We all have to step up in big moments, and Vuch did that against Indiana," Derozan added.
A new challenge for Vučević, Derozan and the rest of Billy Donovan's boys follows tonight (01.30:XNUMX a.m.) when the Bulls visit Dallas and Luka Dončić.
