In a previous NBA regular season game, the Orlando Magic defeated the Detroit Pistons 111-99 at home. After this game, the Magic, who won three consecutive wins, improved their record to 27-23 and climbed to 6th place in the East. The Pistons, who have suffered three consecutive losses, have slipped to 6-43 and continue to sit at the bottom of the East.
In this game, the performance of the Pistons' backup veteran Danilo Gallinari (Danilo Gallinari) also showed a significant decline. Gallinari played 15 minutes and 45 seconds in the game, shooting 0-of-5 from the field, 0-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, and 2-of-2 from the free throw line, and only got 2 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, and the plus/minus was also as low as -7. Gallinari really couldn't find his touch in the game, his offensive efficiency was so poor that he didn't even score a single open battle. Due to his age, declining athleticism, and poor movement speed, Gallinari has also been very poor on the defensive end. Overall, Gallinari's form was a mess, he didn't show enough competitiveness at all, and his poor performance also contributed to the Pistons' eventual loss.
Since joining the Pistons from the Washington Wizards, Gallinari has made a total of five appearances for the team, averaging 15 minutes per gameIn 8 minutes, he averaged 10 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 0 assists per game4 steals 02 blocks and 52 percent shooting4% and 58 three-point shooting3% and 87 free throw percentage5%。Gallinari's performance in the last four games has been absolutely impressive, his offensive efficiency is outstanding, and he has a drill-and-hand from beyond the three-point line. However, in this game, Gallinari's form has indeed dropped significantly, and he is completely different from the one who killed all sides on the offensive end in the previous games.
In fact, for the Pistons, since Gallinari himself is an expiring contract, it doesn't make any sense for them to keep him in their hands like they are now. Gallinari can play an important role in some playoff-caliber teams, and his scoring ability and his excellent shooting ability can give these teams a huge boost, and he has a chance to be a top scorer on the second team, but in a rebuilding team like the Pistons, Gallinari's presence could affect the development of young players. And most importantly, playing in a system like the Pistons, Gallinari's offensive efficiency will definitely decline, and his value in the trade market will definitely become less and less. In this case, the ideal choice for the Pistons should be to find a way to send him away quickly?
