In the last 9 minutes and 16 seconds of the fourth quarter of the game between the Nets and the Pistons, the Pistons took a one-point lead, which was a rare lead for the Pistons in the whole game, and the fans at home were reveling, as if they were only 9 minutes away from winning the NBA championship this season.
It's a pity that there is no fairy tale in the world, even if the Pistons once led by 8 points, even if there was a tactical foul at the last moment, Johnson made 1 of 2, and then made another tactical foul Big Jobridges missed two free throws, and the Pistons still didn't seize the opportunity to turn the tables.
Because in the last two rounds, they grabbed the board in one round and hit out of bounds, and in the other round, they held the ball and passed the ball wrong in the half.
In the end, the Pistons lost to the Nets 112-118 and swallowed a 27-game losing streak, becoming the worst team in NBA history.
The previous record was held for the Cavaliers in 10-11 and the 76ers in 13-14.
A lot of people say the pistons are rotten, but they're not, they're definitely not!At the beginning of the season, they also played a 2-1 record, how did they think that they didn't win in November and December, and no team would be bad at the beginning of the season.
Before today's game, the Pistons urgently recalled the team's starting interior Duren, who has not recovered from injuries, and is bound to block history.
Duren also efficiently cut 12 points and 15 rebounds today, with a plus/minus of +9, except for the last-minute grabs and touched his fingertips and caused the ball to be given to the Nets, the whole game was exciting.
Cunningham has recently been known as the NBA's most watery player, but he was impeccable in the second half, scoring 37 points on 14-of-16 shooting in 24 minutes.
The Pistons recovered the previous point difference of nearly 10 points in the final quarter, and once led by 8 points, almost relying on CC's solo performance.
CC41 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in the whole game, but it's a pity that the wheel of history is going to take you to the worst position in the NBA, and a 40+ can't be stopped.
There will always be inexplicable people in every game of the Pistons, and they will bury the team's efforts by relying on the performance of one person.
Today's game is Wiseman, 12 minutes 2 rebounds -12 plus or minus, he can't score points on the court and helps the opponent block and score.
Another big problem is coordination, some of the originally simple scoring coordination turned into five embarrassments after a round of processing by Pistons players.
The next game for the Pistons will be against the Celtics, the Eastern hegemon, and then the Raptors, who have always been bitter, and then the Rockets and Warriors away are not easy characters to mess with.
The Pistons may not be able to win a game until they meet the Spurs on January 11, and if they go to that day, that losing streak will extend to 34 straight losses.
You must know that the NBA counts the cross-season losing streak is just the 76ers' 28 consecutive defeats, and the 34-game losing streak will greatly refresh the previous record, just like the Lakers' 33-game winning streak can no longer be described as "excellent", but "excellent".
It's just that this one of the pistons is the reverse excellence.
But the big question is, is the strength of the pistons you put two months ago really so bad?Compared with the Cavaliers and 76ers, who have lost 26 in a row, their strength is much stronger than those two teams. The Cavaliers were in an awkward period of losing James at the time, and the team had not yet transformed. The 76ers are under the leadership of Hinkey, and the only positive asset in the team is Evan Turner, the parallel trade eye.
The Pistons have accumulated enough talent before this season, and the talent and firepower may only be matched by the Thunder in the West, and the Pistons have also signed the second-most expensive coach in NBA history, so it can be said that the rebirth from players to management is this season.
But I didn't expect it to become a joke now, and the team's downturn also affected the value of the players. According to some models, only Cunningham and Duren and Bogdanovic are worth more than a first-round pick, while Wiseman, Knox, Hayes and others are below average and need to be sent away.
That's why I say that this team can't be bad but really bad, and no player will pay for his future to help the team pick next year's top rookie.
The Pistons, a magical team, can rely on a group of civilian war gods (relatively not so many supergiants) to win the NBA championship, and can also lead a group of talented rookies to play the worst results in NBA history, interesting, interesting!
