On December 17, Beijing time, the NBA regular season competition continued, the Bucks sat at home to face the Pistons, the Bucks Middleton was absent, the Pistons Beasley, Stewart and Duren were all absent, due to the huge strength gap between the two teams, the Bucks started quickly to establish a double-digit lead, and at the end of the first quarter was already behind by as many as 23 points, the game lost suspense early, and finally the Bucks defeated the Pistons 146-114, who suffered 23 consecutive defeats.
The Bucks both played in the third quarter, in which Lillard played 29 minutes and 39 seconds, shooting 11 of 22 and 6 of 14 three-point shots, and got 33 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block.
Brother Alphabet played 25 minutes, shooting 7-of-9 and 8-of-13 from the free-throw line, scoring 22 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, and scoring 11 points in the third quarter to kill the game directly.
Brother Alphabet didn't play in the last quarter, and he has been taking care of his son on the sidelines, playing for a whole quarter.
Portis, who was beside him, also interacted with Brother Alphabet's son, and it was not difficult to see from his expression that the scene was very warm.
In this game, Portis performed well, shooting 11 of 18 from the field, 4 of 7 from three-point range, and got 31 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal.
The 31 points in a single game set a new season scoring record for Portis, compared to 19 points in a single game.
With this performance, Portis became only the fifth player in NBA history to score at least 31 points and 12 rebounds off the bench while hitting four three-pointers, joining Austin Crohill (2002), Antoine Jamison (2012), Morris Jr. (2015) and Jordan Walla (2021).
After the game, Brother Alphabet spoke happily and wrote through social **: "Portis! Portis! ”
However, what made Brother Alphabet unhappy was that his previous stealing of the ball was still fermenting, and Spoelstra joked in the post-game interview after Butler beat the Bulls on the same day: "We grabbed three game balls today." ”
On the other hand, the Pistons have suffered 23 consecutive defeats, further breaking the record for the longest losing streak in team history.
Continuing to chase the longest losing streak in NBA history with 26 straight losses and the longest losing streak across seasons to 28 straight losses, the Pistons will next face the Hawks, Jazz, Nets (2 games), Greens, Raptors and Rockets.
Not surprisingly, the Pistons will set a new record for the longest losing streak in NBA history, currently ranking fifth all-time with 23 straight losses.
In the face of such a performance of the team, Pistons coach Monty, who was very calm after losing to the 76ers in the last game, changed his tune after the game and bluntly said that he was dissatisfied with the team's current performance.
Asked about being beaten 20-43 down in the first quarter, Monty said: "It really disappointed me, I rarely called a timeout in the game to reprimand the players, but they responded for the rest of the game. ”
In the offseason, Monty signed a six-year, $78.5 million contract with the Pistons, which was once the largest contract of a coach in history, until the Spurs signed Bobo to a contract worth more than $80 million.
