Beijing time on December 17, with the start of the new season in the NBA, although most teams are still fighting for the record, but some teams have begun to prepare for the high pick draft, this season so far seems to have been rebuilt the team is the Rockets, Magic, Pistons and Thunder, and in the past period of time after the Rockets achieved a wave of consecutive wins they have opened up the gap with other rebuilding teams, although the Magic Thunder a season so far 5 wins, an 8 win is not good, but the two teams at least have the desire to win, It's just that the strength of the helpless lineup does not allow it.
For now, the regular season played about 30 games has begun to give up the season impact high draft picks that is definitely the Pistons, today the Pistons lost to the Pacers 113-122, after the loss of the Pistons to take 13 consecutive losses, they ranked first in the league with a record of 4 wins and 23 losses, although the Magic and their win difference is the same, but the Magic is 5 wins and 24 losses, if blindly seek defeat, the Pistons are obviously more dominant, some teams look like they lost, but actually won.
Do you know how crazy the Pistons are to lose in order to mess up? In today's game against the Pacers, the team's starting players are Cunningham, Sadikbe, Stewart, Diallo and Hayes, so there is really no problem at first glance, they sent the team's two Cunningham and Hayes, who are considered the cornerstones of the future, to put the strongest firepower, but this team directly does not defend in order to lose.
Cunningham 1.98m, SadikBe 2.03m, Stewart 2.03m, Diallo 1.96m, Hayes 1.91m, the highest is only 2.03m, which also let the Pacers blow up their interior line today, the Pacers team scored 68 points on the Pistons interior today, the inside shooting rate is as high as 66.7%, almost a defense like air, if you play like this, it is understandable, but Casey has been the main lineup this season.
If Grant plays today, he replaces Diallo, Grant is only 2.03 meters, or five small, and his five small is not like the Warriors, the Warriors play five small can not say dare to take the starter so play, the team also has 2.06 meters looney and the best defensive player to chase the dream Green Town to defend the inside line, and now the Pistons, this interior combination Stewart although hard enough, but the ball dealer is limited, the defense is not too good, it can be said that it is white.
In this way, it actually affects not only the defensive end of the team, the offensive end does not have high-quality cover and interior killing, and the rebounds cannot be guaranteed, which is not the Pistons' average rebounds per game this season 42.1 league 29th, defensive efficiency 110.2 league 22nd, offensive efficiency 100.4 league 29th, they can be said to be one of the worst teams in the league offensive and defensive, according to the Pistons to play like this, they will not have much problem with the top three picks next year.
This year's champion Cunningham has had a good performance in the past period of time, the past 5 games he has won 20+ points in three games, excellent singles ability and passing vision is likeable, it can be said that the Pistons with the champion to win he is the right choice, but last season the Pistons with the No. 7 pick to win Hayes this season averaged 6.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, shooting only 33% of the shooting rate, very bad, so playing is estimated to be watery, although Hayes that year's draft report said that he was a traditional defender, But two years have not shown that kind of talent.
I hope Hayes can still play it, and then continue to swing it out, anyway, the five small ones are more "reliable".
