Title: Pistons Amazing Counterattack! The Thunder are caught in a weird match-fixing turmoil.
On January 29, Beijing time, the fire of the NBA regular season was ignited again, and the Pistons sat at home to face the Thunder. In the face of the strong opponent in the West, the Pistons are expected to complete the counterattack, but the various episodes in the game make people wonder: Do the Thunder intend to play a match-fixing game? This game is not only a subversion of the result, but also a deep reflection on the team's core and tactical choices.
At the beginning of the game, Holmgren scored three points to give the Thunder the lead. However, the Pistons, led by Stewart and Duren, responded quickly to keep the score in contention. Holmgren's departure allowed the Pistons to seize the opportunity and gradually overtake them through the inside advantage, leading by nine points at the end of the first half. The Pistons extended their lead to 14 points with a three-pointer from Ivey. Despite Alexander's individual performance, the Pistons' fresh performance in the third quarter cemented the lead. In the final quarter, the Pistons beat the Thunder mercilessly to win 104-120.
In this match, some unusual moves have raised doubts among fans. The Thunder coach's tactical decisions were questioned, especially in the final quarter of the game, when they left Alexander out of the court and chose to surrender. This has sparked speculation about whether the Thunder deliberately played a match-fixing game, especially considering that they won less than 15% of their game against the Pistons, which is the second time in NBA history.
Alexander scored 31 points in the game, but he didn't get a chance at a crucial moment. Jay showed a consistent performance as the team's second core in this game, becoming a scoring pillar for the Pistons. Giddey gradually became a role player, while Holmgren was weak against the Pistons. Duren played a dominant performance in Cunningham's absence, finishing with 22 points, 21 rebounds and six assists in less than 31 minutes, becoming only the third player in history to do so.
Duren, the No. 13 pick in the first round in '22, is gradually living up to his talent. He excelled without absolute possession, averaging 14 per game1 point 119 rebounds 26 assists and shooting 64% from the field. Although he lacks three-point shooting, his interior footwork and excellent pie-eating ability make him a great weapon for the team. The Pistons' roster changes are also starting to pay off, and the rise of Jay has made the team more balanced.
This game is not only a counterattack, but also a rethinking of tactics and the role of players. The Thunder's match-fixing scandal has attracted a lot of attention, and the Pistons' performance has made people have more expectations for their future development. The NBA is always full of variables, and this game is undoubtedly a profound embodiment of this variable. What are your thoughts on this game? Welcome to leave a message along**.
