Today, Beijing time, there was another big upset on the NBA court. The Detroit Pistons lost 111-119 to the Utah Jazz, who were missing eight key players, extending their losing streak to 25 games. There is only one game left before the NBA's single-season losing streak.
In this game, although the overall shooting rate of the Pistons reached 50%, the three-point shooting rate was poor, only 29%. At the same time, the Pistons had as many as 20 turnovers throughout the game, allowing opponents to seize consecutive opportunities in the chase phase. Only three players scored in double figures, Cunningham had 28 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals, Ivey had 24 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, and Bagley had 22 points and 5 rebounds. Bo Yang didn't feel good, scoring 8 points on 3-of-12 shooting.
While the Pistons didn't play well in the game, the Utah Jazz were just as disappointing. In this game, the Jazz had a total of 8 players absent, almost giving up a starting lineup, including Karmanin, Clarkson, Tucker, George, Yurtsevern and so on. Even in this case, the Jazz were able to lead the Pistons for most of the game, which undoubtedly raises questions about the strength and form of the Pistons.
Such a poor performance by the Pistons left the home fans upset. When the victory or defeat was decided, the fans at the scene shouted "sell the team, sell the team"!This call is undoubtedly the best illustration of the current situation of the Pistons.
The result of this game is another testament to the Pistons' woes this season. Although the Pistons have been in a rebuilding state over the past few seasons, the performance this season has undoubtedly been disappointing. The Pistons need to seriously reflect on what their problems are and try to improve in the upcoming games.
The most important thing for the Pistons right now is to get to the root of the problem. The Pistons need to dig into their own tactics, player health, team chemistry and more. Once these issues are identified, the Pistons need to take effective measures to solve the problem.
First, the Pistons need to adjust their tactics. Although the Pistons have some talented players, they often fail to play to their strengths in games. This may be due to the team's unreasonable tactical arrangement. The Pistons need to find a game that better suits their players and allows them to play to their strengths in the game.
Second, the Pistons need to keep an eye on the health of their players. This season, the Pistons have suffered from injury issues to multiple players, which has undoubtedly had an impact on the team's strength and form. The Pistons need to better manage the health of their players and minimize injuries to their players.
Finally, the Pistons need to improve their team chemistry. Team chemistry refers to the level of chemistry and trust between players. If there is a lack of chemistry and trust between the players, then the overall performance of the team will suffer. Therefore, the Pistons need to strengthen the communication and cooperation between players to build better team chemistry.
In conclusion, the Pistons need to seriously reflect on their problems in the next games and take effective measures to solve them. Only then will the Pistons be able to come out of their troubles for the rest of the season and usher in better performances and development.
