On December 13, Beijing time, the Nets defeated the Pistons 116-104 in a reversal, sending the Pistons 12 consecutive defeats. Durant scored 51 points in this game and broke multiple career records. There is no doubt that this is a night for Durant, but although the Pistons are currently at the bottom of the East with 4 wins and 22 losses, they can put pressure on the Nets in the East in this game, and the reason for forcing the strongest Durant is the excellent performance of Yuanlang.
Although Durant's data in this game is very good, but can not ignore this season's draft champion Cunningham's outstanding performance in this game, Cunningham started the game for 35 minutes, in the absence of Harden, he is the best guard in this game, the whole game slashed 26 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, comprehensive is not lost to Durant, shooting 9 of 18, shooting 8 of 5 outside the three-point line, and also sent three steals on the defensive end. The only deficiency was Cunningham's 7 turnovers.
However, this is difficult to avoid for a rookie, Cunningham has been good enough in recent games, in the last five games, Cunningham averaged 34 minutes per game, can make 22 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.2 steals, can be said to be an offensive and defensive integration, shooting 43.7%, and showed his strong shooting ability outside the three-point line, shooting 46.1% from three-point range, almost every game can hit more than three three-pointers.
Although so far this season, the Pistons' record has not improved much compared to last season, and they are still at the bottom of the East with 4 wins and 22 losses, it is worth mentioning that this season they obviously have an absolute goal, cultivating this season's Champion Lang Cunningham, although the performance of Corningham at the beginning of the season was very difficult, but as the season progressed, The Champion Lang has obviously gradually entered the best situation, playing the strength that the Champion should have, and the Pistons' rebuilding plan has completed the first step.
After entering the league this season, With the great performances of Mobley and Barnes, Cunningham's quality was called into doubt. However, with his recent performances, he has once again entered the discussion of the best rookie. Moreover, compared with Green, who is considered to be more talented, he is also in a weak team, and the record is also bad, but at present, Cunningham's personal performance is far more than that of Jaylen Green, and as the game progresses, Cunningham gradually shows the potential of the future superpower.
