On December 12, Beijing time, the NBA regular season ushered in a Texas civil war, and the Houston Rockets challenged the Grizzlies away. The Rockets, who won seven straight games, lost at home to the Bucks, and the winning streak was terminated. Coming to Memphis away, this group of lads wanted to save the day. However, the strength of the two teams is still very different, and in the end, 7 points were lost, suffering 2 consecutive losses.
However, the rocket has made new history. At the same time, the 7 consecutive wins after 15 consecutive defeats will also become history. The Rockets may be suffering another wave of losing streaks! But with a team in the East that's suffering a losing streak and is about to catch up with the Rockets' 15-game losing streak, will they set another record? 11 consecutive defeats! In the face of the devil's schedule, the core is reimbursed! The coach shouted collapse and chased the Rockets for 15 consecutive defeats.
11 consecutive defeats! Encounter the Devil's Schedule
Who is this team? It's the Detroit Pistons with the Champion Lang. In the quiet, they have achieved a "feat" of 11 consecutive defeats, but what? Let's look at the opponents who have lost 11 games, or we have to feel sorry for the Pistons. The specific opponents are: Warriors, Lakers, Heat, Bucks, Clippers, Lakers, Trail Blazers, Suns, Thunder, Wizards, Pelicans. It can be said that most of them are the league's giants and playoff-level teams.
Due to a poor record at the beginning of the season, and another 11 consecutive losses, the Pistons currently have a record of only 4 wins and 21 losses, with a winning percentage of 16%, the league's penultimate first. Unfortunately, the next 5 games are the Devils' schedule: Nets, Bulls, Pacers, Rockets, and Heat. If you can't win the Rockets, you may have to lose 16 consecutive games.
Core reimbursement again
At the most critical moment, the Pistons broke the core of the team, Grant. According to Shams, Grant suffered a torn ligament in the finger of his right hand and will undergo surgery and is sidelined indefinitely. This season, he averaged 20.1 points, 4.8 rebounds per game, shooting 41 percent from the field, 33 percent from three-point range and 85 percent from the free throw line.
Su Qun, a well-known domestic basketball commentator, said: Grant is a very good second boss, and it is perfect to go to a championship team. In fact, there are many teams that have been in contact with the Pistons and want to trade Grant. With the Pistons' limited offensive space, Grant is the number one scorer on the perimeter. His injury also put Canning in an awkward position. Then it's time for him to pack a lot, can he prove himself?
Chasing the Rockets 15 consecutive defeats
For the team's bad situation, coach Casey also said bluntly: it was too collapsed, we completely succumbed to adversity, and when the opponent punished us, there was no response in an appropriate way. Then he started criticizing the players again: everyone in the dressing room is young, but being young doesn't mean you don't need to work hard. 、
When the coach shouts collapse, no fighting spirit, no effort, it means that the Pistons are going to compete for the title again. Cultivating young people and rebuilding the team does not mean that you can lose indefinitely. Sometimes, winning in adversity, or even playing a wave of winning streaks, young players will grow faster. Grant is injured and the youngsters will get more opportunities. During the Rockets' 7-game winning streak, key players such as Jaylen Green, Kevin Porter Jr., and House were all watching from the sidelines. A 15-game losing streak is a humiliating record, and the Pistons don't need to catch up, but can they avoid it?
