Alex Caruso, the discreet monster has struck again

This isn’t the first time we’ve been amazed at Alex Caruso’s ability here. Like many men who lose their hair prematurely The Chicago Bulls player has been a frequent stunner since playing for the Los Angeles Lakers and what his former teammates saw of him last night in Game 2 against Milwaukee must have reminded them how valuable he would have been to them those days. Caruso, aka “The Divine Bald”, was monumental on the Bucks floor for helping the Bulls come back to 1-1. Obviously, we will remember the performance of DeMar DeRozan, author of 41 points after unscrewing in game 1. But without Alex Caruso, it is likely that Chicago organized game 3 by leading 2 to 0.

Adhering to the strict statistical plan, we would hardly underline Caruso’s achievements. Holder for this event, he collected 9 points (at 3/8, 3 point baskets only), 10 assists, 2 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks. To emphasize his contribution even more, we can mention that he has not lost a single ball in 38 minutes of play and that he has the best +/- difference of the match with a nice +16. Nevertheless, by being happy with the encrypted content it would be an insult to what he actually caused on the ground.

While Giannis Antetokounmpo was setting up a game with 33 points, 18 rebounds and 9 assists, Alex Caruso turned his defensive IQ and attention to the Greek Freak. Overall, it’s a waste of time, as Giannis is unstoppable at the end of the match, when he decided it was time to pass the second match. The Nets and Sixers know that. Caruso managed to deprive the MVP of the 2021 Finals the chance to be the king of money time. By cutting him off the ball as much as possible and holding him so intensely in the final minutes that he pushed him into an offensive foul 5 seconds before the end to confirm the Bulls’ victory.

The former Lakers player guided the moves of his comrades and, at the height of his team’s good spell at the start of the season until his injury, made the right choices that were imperceptible at first glance. In attack, as in defense, even if it is for this last sector that we praise him again today. There are also a few visible stairs, like this pass, one of 10 he made on the Fiserv Forum floor.

If you’re in any doubt about Alex Caruso’s place in the Bulls locker room hierarchy, we recommend checking out the clip posted to the franchise’s Twitter account shortly after the game. We see Billy Donovan congratulating his players in a short speech and stopping when he sees his point guard claim the floor. It’s not DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine or Nikola Vucevic, multiple All-Stars, or Tristan Thompson, the only other NBA champion in the group, who challenge their comrades first, but Caruso.

“We automatically have the advantage now. But it’s human nature: we just won, they just lost and they will be the hungriest team in Game 3. Enjoy this win. Learn from it. And come back with the same mindset for the next game.”

He will come back with the same weapons and the desire to shake up the NBA champion, that’s for sure.
