For Zach LaVine, the Covid-19 was two rooms, two atmospheres. Last season, the back of the Bulls was affected by the disease between mid-April and early May. Suffering, he had also seen Chicago lose seven of eleven matches without him, thus giving up any chance of playing the “play-in” or the playoffs.
This season, it was quite the opposite since the rear was asymptomatic and above all, he only missed two matches. Very badly affected, the franchise has also seen three matches be postponed and the two games missed by Zach LaVine were won by his teammates.
“My family is fine and that’s all that worried me”, explains the player to NBC Sports. “After that, it was easier than I imagined. I had no symptoms, it was just the isolation that was boring. I was far from my wife, from my family, because I left the house for more safety. It was frustrating, but we live in this world now and many live with it. I’m glad I only missed two parts. “
So the former two-time dunk contest winner was at the hotel busy playing console, watching Netflix, and weight training (he put on almost three pounds). Plus, he saw DeMar DeRozan shine (38 points) against the Lakers.
“I have rarely seen something so impressive, because I remember that after the Covid, last season, it took me a few matches to get back into it”, compare, admiring, Zach LaVine. “I know he did some practice, but he had one hell of a game against Los Angeles. It’s incredible. I called him after the game to tell him elsewhere. “
It’s promising for the Bulls’ second-leading scorer (26 points average) this season, who left health protocol recently, like his teammates, and trained on Thursday. The Bulls have finally found their group and hope to have put this nasty moment behind them until the playoffs.
“I hope that we will now have collective immunity and that we will no longer have absentees in the coming months”, concludes the former Wolves. “Everyone is fine and we will all be able to go back there, in full. “
