Give up the champion signature? NBA's No. 1 bad team emerges! Former female employee accuses of sexual harassment in the workplace!
Recently, there has been a series of big reversals in the NBA, and these players who have fallen behind by large scores have also rekindled their enthusiasm. The San Antonio Spurs swept the Minnesota Timberwolves, a team that once led the Eastern Conference, 113-112; And the Detroit Pistons, in this round, defeated the current top team 120-104, which is a classic comeback.
The 13th overall pick of young rookie Jaden Duren was like a budding beast and showed great dominance against promising young rookie Chet Holmgren. He had 22 points, 21 rebounds (9 valuable front boards), 6 assists, and he had 11 boards alone. Although from a high-level statistic, Duren's attack efficiency this season is only 1103, ranked 216, but his defense is only 1180, ranked 224, while his score is only -77, which is reminiscent of Howard's state in his later years, but his excellent performance and 20-year-old age give people a sense of potential. Over time, Duren will grow from a "statistical" interior player to a basketball superstar who can influence the entire league, rather than just a "technical magician" like his predecessor Andre Drummond.
The Pistons have clearly focused on building for the future this season and are aiming for the No. 1 pick, so it doesn't matter to talk about every game they play now. However, the team's management turmoil has attracted attention: Laskar, 32, has publicly accused her of harassment in the workplace for more than two years, all of which happened to Robert Murphy, an aide to the former president. From September 2021 to June 2023, Lascar was tormented among Murphy's top assistants, and it wasn't until he left the company that he had the courage to file a complaint, hoping to file a lawsuit to ** the psychological harm he had suffered, which also included punitive measures. She allegedly left in a bad mood and claimed that she was fired and not of her own choosing, but Murphy's personnel managers believed she left on purpose.
After this series of scandals, layers of mystery are hidden. The complaint was made even more difficult by Murphy's investigation and two-year suspension for misconduct at work with another female employee. This chaotic situation is a big blow to the players on the front line, which is why they have not performed well in the past few years and are often trampled under the feet of their opponents. However, the god of luck has not completely dissipated, and after Cunningham, Ivey, and Duren, the Pistons still hold on to the hope of a comeback. If they can really sign a talented forward in this draft, the Detroit Pistons will definitely become stronger in the next round.
For the Pistons, long-term development is far greater than short-term results, as evidenced by their big transfer spree last summer: they signed Monty Williams to a six-year deal worth $77 million, a true reflection of their desire to rebuild their former glory.
However, the pressure of this salary, like a heavy stone, once led the Suns to the top of the NBA, but now, his Detroit Pistons, have fallen to the bottom of the standings. This huge gap is a huge challenge for any manager, and only those who have confidence in their team can withstand it.
Monty wasn't very interested in the Pistons' offer at first, but when the big contract shook the entire league, he was moved by the dazzling salary. Monty has made up his mind that no matter how many difficulties and dangers lie ahead, even if there is a sea of fire ahead, he will do his best to meet everything with the courage of "Ollie".
The once-glorious city of Detroit is like a dormant beast, waiting for someone to save it, guide it out of the gloom, and bring it back to life. In the heart of the city, who will give the Pistons a new lease of life and bring the city back to life? It's an unanswered question, but it's been bothering every fan who loves basketball and loves the city.
