On January 2, Beijing time, in an NBA regular season game that has ended today, the Detroit Pistons narrowly defeated the San Antonio Spurs at home 117-116. In this game, Pistons guard Hamidu Diallo performed well, playing 49 minutes, shooting 13-of-32, and had 34 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals.
After the game, the team's teammates and head coach did not hesitate to praise him, and today's quasi-killer Sadiq Bay said in an interview: Diallo is playing at the same level as an All-Star, he can always stay aggressive, which is what the team needs.
Diallo was selected with the 15th pick in the second round of 2018 and spent most of the first three seasons of his career with the Thunder. But just as a role player for the team, he didn't get too many chances. He was previously known only as the winner of the 2018-19 All-Star Game dunk contest.
He came to the Pistons last season, averaging 21.1 minutes per game in the regular season, averaging 10.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists. He shot 53.2 percent from the field and 28.2 percent from three-point range.
Although his statistics this season are not impressive, after the recent absence of several players in the team. He got plenty of opportunities and played well.
In his last game against the Knicks, he played 38 minutes, shooting 13-of-19, including 1 of 2 from three-point range, and had 31 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals.
Diallo is always energetic on the pitch and his dynamic talent is not bad. If he can improve his shooting ability, especially outside the three-point line, then his ability to play can be greatly improved.
