Billy Donovan reveals the biggest reason behind the stunning 3-0 start
First time since 2021 Chicago Bulls they start the season 3-0. They are on Monday came back with 13 points less to beat the Atlanta Hawks 128-123.
Now the Bulls will try to go 4-0 on Wednesday as they take on the Sacramento Kings. In the process, former players Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan will return.
Meanwhile, several factors could help explain the Bulls’ hot start. for example, A strong start from Ayo Dosunmu it does not go unnoticed at the head coach Billy Donovanper Sam Smith of NBA.com.
In some ways, Donovan sees Dosunmu as an example for fellow starter Matas Bouzelis to follow.
“The thing about Ayo, and I said this about Matas (Buzelis), but even more than Ayo, he has an incredible inner belief in himself,” praised Donovan. “For him, it’s always been interesting to me … the journey for guys to get to this level (when it comes to) struggle because they have to have the belief in themselves to overcome things. Ayo wasn’t drafted in the first round. The first year he gets a chance, but the second year he kind of falls off. But he never loses confidence.”
Furthermore, Donovan credits the Bulls’ strong chemistry on and off the court as the reason for their early success.
“The team chemistry in terms of their relationships is really good on and off the field,” Donovan noted. “I grew up and played in an era of ‘if you didn’t have a good relationship on the field, you generally didn’t have a good relationship off the field. These guys have great relationships.’
How do the Bulls gel so well
For many of the key players, they played a lot of time together. Coby White, Nikola Vucevicand Dosunma have played each other for the last three seasons.
Later, Bouzelis and Josh Giddei came and each found a prominent place in the team. In return, the old boys embraced them with open arms.
With no obvious superstars on this team, the Bulls have to rely more and more on each other as a group.
At this point, so far so good.
