It stands to reason that looking at the composition of the Detroit Pistons this season, this young team is not short of talent and high-ranking young talents, and with the sky-high coach Monty at the helm, the Pistons should soar to get rid of the Eastern fish belly......
Looking at the Pistons lineup, the team has Wiseman, the 2020 No. 1 pick, Hayes, the No. 7 pick, the No. 2021 No. 1 Cunningham, the 2022 No. 5 No. 5 Iewi, the 2023 No. 5 No. 5 Thompson, and young interior players such as Duren and Stewart......
However, the cold fact is that now the Pistons are still in the middle of the East, ranking at the bottom of the East, constantly refreshing the team history of the losing streak, and it seems that it is difficult to find a win......
In the offseason, the Pistons management hired Monty three times, and spared no effort to offer the latter a long-term contract of tens of millions, which is enough to show the determination of the Pistons management to build the team among the powerhouses......
Now Monty seems to be overrated, and even some radical Pistons fans say that Monty is a fraudster and the team should be fired......
For the Pistons these days, it doesn't matter if Monty is overrated, and when the team ends the losing streak is the top priority......
After all, with another loss today, the Pistons are one step away from rewriting the record for the longest losing streak in history, with only six losses.
When the Pistons make easy mistakes again and again, causing the opponent to score easily, the young players on the team have not established a good winning Xi, and even take defeat Xi for granted, do the Pistons still have a chance to improve?
In this regard, Pierce said that the Pistons' losing streak is not the fault of head coach Monty, Monty is a good coach, but those young players do not play according to tactics, they feel like they are playing wild ball......
Pierce even said that with the Pistons' defense, he can score if he plays now......
Today, the Pistons faced the Bucks led by Brother Alphabet, and the result of the game seemed to be no suspense, wasn't it.
In fact, as early as the first quarter when the two teams competed, the Bucks had already taken the initiative and established an early winning advantage.
In the first quarter, the Bucks were full of firepower, scoring 43 points in a single quarter, on the other hand, the Pistons felt cold on the outside, and the whole team made 7 three-pointers with 0 particles, and the first quarter ended, the Bucks beat the Pistons by 23 points, and the game seemed to lose suspense.
In the second quarter, the Bucks continued to chase after the victory, leading the Pistons 81-56 at halftime.
It is worth mentioning that 81 points in a half is also the highest number of points the Bucks have scored in any half this season.
By the end of the third quarter, the Bucks had a 31-point lead over the Pistons at 114-83, and the final quarter went into garbage time early.
When Antetokounmpo and Lillard clocked in three quarters early, they knew how easy it was for the Bucks to win against the Bucks.
With another loss today, the Pistons continued to rewrite the record for the longest losing streak in franchise history, and the 23-game losing streak also tied the fifth-longest losing streak in history.
After a 2-1 start to the season, the Pistons struggled to find a win and lost 23 games in a row, which also wrote the longest losing streak in NBA history after winning more than half of the game......
When the Pistons end their losing streak is perhaps the most pressing question for the team......
