The NBA regular season continues, with the East ushering in a fish-belly showdown, with the penultimate Magic sitting at home to meet the penultimate Pistons.
Although the Pistons rank second to last, but the overall combat strength is extremely outstanding, especially the Champion Lang Cunningham, after more than half a season of tempering, can be described as gradually into a better situation, the last game against the First Heat in the East, the team once completed the counterattack in the case of a big score behind, has been dragging the game into a critical moment before regretting losing.
On the other hand, the Magic team has also been in good shape recently, with many scoring points within the team, and a number of young players can deliver a stable scoring performance after most of the season's run-in and adaptation, but defense is the team's fatal shortcoming.
As soon as the game began, the Home Magic team made a fuss about the inside, Bamba scored two points to get the team ahead, and then Bamba blossomed inside and out, helping the Magic play a perfect 9-0 start.
The away Pistons responded quickly, limiting the Magic on the defensive end and playing consecutively on the offensive end, equalizing with 6 minutes left in the first quarter.
In the second half of the first quarter, the two teams began a tug-of-war, the score was tied many times, the point difference remained within one round, and this situation was maintained until the end of the first quarter, and the Home Magic took a 2-point lead at 39-37.
In the second quarter, the two teams continued the momentum of the second half of the first quarter, playing back and forth on the offensive end, and the point difference has been very tight.
It wasn't until the second quarter entered the second half that the Pistons blossomed on multiple points, barely pulling the gap beyond five points with three-pointers from the outside.
But the advantage did not last long, the Magic quickly made a fuss around the inside line, constantly pressing the score, but with Sadiq Bay before the end of the half, the Pistons entered the halftime with a nine-point advantage.
The Pistons continued to feel hot outside the line, and the point difference was quickly stretched to double digits.
The Magic naturally did not give up, constantly chasing the point difference around the inside and outside lines, but the Pistons felt too hot on the outside, especially Sadik Bay, who made almost 100 shots of three-pointers on the offensive end, which made the difference between the two teams break through 15 points at one point.
Fortunately, the Pistons felt a decline in the middle of the quarter, and the Magic seized the opportunity to force the point difference to single digits in one breath, but unfortunately, at the end of the quarter, Sadik Bay broke out again, and the Pistons ended the first three quarters with a 12-point lead.
Entering the final quarter, the Magic's young players showed great resilience, and with 8 minutes left in the game, they managed to force the point difference to single digits again.
Unfortunately, Sadiqbe's hand was still hot, and Bagley's outside feel was also opened, and the Pistons finally beat the Magic 132-117.
Throughout the game, in the absence of Cunningham, the 23-year-old rising star Sadiq Bay is undoubtedly the biggest highlight, the whole game Sadiq Bay played 39 minutes, 17 of 27 shots, 10 of 14 three-pointers, and bombed the perfect data of 51 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals.
In the first quarter, Sadiq Bay was in hot form, playing 12 minutes, 7 of 11, 4 of 7 from three points, 3 of 4 from the free throw line, and had 21 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal.
The second quarter continued to be in form, with 10-of-15 at halftime, 6-of-9 three-pointers and 30 points plus 3 boards and 3 assists, becoming griffin, the second player in nearly 25 years for the Pistons to score at least 30 points at halftime and hit 6 three-pointers.
He hit 10 three-pointers, equaling Joe Dumas's all-time three-point shooting record in a single game, and 51 points was a career high for Sadik Bay.
