On November 11th, Beijing time, the NBA Championship was held as scheduled today, the Pistons sat at home and ushered in the challenge of the 76ers, the Pistons are obviously inferior to the 76ers in terms of strength on paper, and the 76ers have recently hit the first place in the division, they are in full morale, one is the first in the East, the other is the first in the East, this game does not seem to be too suspenseful, but the Pistons have created a lot of trouble for the 76ers. Let's talk about the game and then the players.
Contest Recap:
At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Cunningham and Hayes teamed up to play a wave of 6-0 start, Harris responded with 2+1, Hayes hit another 3 points, Duren and Cunningham combined to score 5 points, and the Pistons gradually established a double-digit lead, on the other hand, the 76ers were frequently playing iron, and the team only relied on the emperor to support himself, and he continued to kill inside to help the team and the opponent around. At the end of the first quarter, the 76ers trailed their opponents by 12 points.
In the second quarter, Maxey hit two points for the 76ers to score first, Hayes scored 4 points in a row to respond, Oubre counterattacked, Bagley responded with an inside kill, although the 76ers attacked under the leadership of Maxey, but the Pistons on the side of their offense was also very good, the two sides have maintained a double-digit point difference, at the end of the quarter, with the emperor on the court, he made consecutive opponent fouls to win free throws, and under his leadership, the 76ers chased down by 8 points and ended the first half.
In the rematch, Maxey, Embiid and Harris combined for six points to narrow the difference. In this quarter, the Emperor obviously wanted to close the game, he turned on his personal mode, continuous inside killing, and also hit a long-range shot, under his leadership, the 76ers gradually caught up with the point difference, the Emperor scored 16 points in a single quarter, and the Pistons' offense came to a standstill, Cunningham failed to kill many times, and the 76ers have surpassed 6 points in the third quarter.
The 76ers continued to fire in the final quarter, with Melton hitting a three-pointer and Maxey scoring four points in a row, and the 76ers extended their lead to double digits. After that, although the Pistons called a timeout, the effect was not ideal, and the 76ers always maintained a double-digit lead, and finally the time was not on the side of the Pistons, and they lost to the 76ers 106-114.
Hayes cashed in on his talent, and Bagley deserved more opportunities
After chatting about the game, let's talk about the players' performance. On the Pistons' side, Canning, the team's leader, scored 21 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists on 8-of-18 shooting and 1-of-5 three-pointers. I believe that many fans who have watched the Pistons game have questioned Monty, why not let Cunningham have absolute possession of the ball, but give Hayes more opportunities to serve as a core point guard? After all, Hayes hasn't lived up to his talent in the past two years.
As a result, Monty proved his vision, he corrected Hayes's starting position after his arrival, giving him more balls, and Hayes also cashed in on his talent, he shot 8 of 17 in this game, 2 of 5 three-pointers and scored 23 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.
Bagley actually deserves more opportunities, his talent is very good, after all, he is the leader of 18 years, and his offensive ability is also very good, the result is that he does not get so much playing time, this game Bagley scored 6 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist on 3-of-4 shooting, and only played 13 minutes. The team's other leader, Wiseman, probably didn't get a chance, he scored four points in garbage time, and the water fell.
Harden traded in exchange for two garbage contracts
Embiid shot 8 of 22 from the field, 1 of 5 from three-point range, and scored 33 points, 16 rebounds and 2 blocks. Maxey scored 29 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists on 9-of-19 shooting and 2-of-7 three-pointers in this game.
But for now, there is no real winner in Harden's deal, Harden has not adapted to the Clippers' system, and it is difficult to say whether he can adapt in the future, the 76ers got these blue-collar players through the trade of Harden, except for Batum, several others did not show too good performance, although Covington is the team's main rotation, but his offensive ability has seriously declined since last season, and he scored 3 points on 1-of-3 shooting in this game, averaging 3 points per game so far this season, and the three-point shooting rate is 28%.
Compared with his annual salary of 11.69 million, Covington is a bit of a premium. In addition, Morris Jr. is also very premium now, Nas is not even willing to give him more playing time, he played 6 minutes and scored 0 points and 2 rebounds, Morris is only a marginal rotation role so far this season, and his annual salary is 17.11 million, which is very premium. Speaking of which, what do you have to say about the 76ers and Pistons now? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
