Knicks lore sparks locker room chaos?
Beijing time, February 27, although not much attention was paid to the Knicks' battle against the Pistons, which still attracted a lot of people's attention, when the Knicks led several times, all relying on Cunningham's outstanding performance, the Knicks held on to the end, and the Knicks ended the game with a score of 113-111 with Hart's excellent performance. 111 pistons.
Brunson's three-point shot put the two into an argument, and after Orsa Thompson got the ball, DiVincenzo rushed into Orsa Thompson, but the referee didn't blow it, and Brunson got the ball and helped Hart into the box, much to the Pistons' displeasure, and they only mentioned the player in their post-game press conference. Performances by athletes.
On the Knicks' side, Brunson scored 35 points, 12 assists and 2 steals, the other two Villanova players DiVincenzo each scored 21 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, Hart scored 23 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, the first time since 1950 that they played at the same time, and all three completed three wonderful games with 20+ scores.
Bojan was traded to the Knicks by the Pistons before the trade deadline, but he didn't get enough opportunities, so he had to sit on the bench, he played 21 minutes this season, got 13 points and 6 rebounds, after joining the Knicks, he averaged 13 points per game, and when he was with the Pistons, he averaged 20 points per game, his ability is not a problem, but Thibodeau does not plan to let Bojan play, and he is not willing to try a new team, because then his chemistry will be disrupted.
This reminds people of Fournier, who was once abandoned by the Knicks, and now Fournier has come to the Pistons, he averages 20 minutes per game, 10 rebounds and 3 rebounds, and his talent is not bad, but Thibodeau did not give him too many opportunities, and this time against his old club Gramsci, he also performed very well, scoring 14 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and also shot rebounds in the game, but due to the referee's decision, he still failed to defeat his old club in the end.
In terms of Pistons, Cunningham played very well, he shot 10 of 19, got 32 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, this season, Cunningham played 30 times, 1 win and 12 defeats, from the point of view of results, Cunningham is a data brush, but this is not the case, Cunningham put a lot of effort into the team's victory, but did not win the championship, they have scored five points in the past two rounds, he has tried his best.
However, there is one thing that everyone pays attention to, that is, during the pause in the third quarter, Cunningham went to Monty, obviously very dissatisfied with Monty, Monty didn't bother to take care of him, and finally it was his teammates who came to comfort Cunningham, which made the game end, which shows that the long-term failure, the Pistons' locker room has cracked, and the captain has become the biggest hidden danger. The Pistons have done a great job with their players.
Asked after the bout what Cunningham, who had been selected in the first round, thought of the fight, Cunningham said, "I'm furious. Speaking to reporters, Monty said he was furious, saying: "New York's guys, it was undoubtedly the worst decision, we didn't blow the whistle, we were punished enough, we could have won the game, but the opponent fouled and Monty didn't give us any warning." ”
Then he said: "The players asked me, 'Is there any other way, coach?' I'm sick of the situation we've faced this season, it's ridiculous, we just want a fair result. It is worth mentioning that after the game, the referee commented on the game, and he thought that there was something wrong with the way the game was played, but it turned out that the outcome of the game could not be changed, and the Pistons still lost the game in the end.
And this victory, also let the Knicks from the previous decline to ease, now they have a lead of the 76ers one and a half wins, although this victory did not have much impact on their ranking, is still the league's bottom, but this punishment is a little unfair, the Pistons have 8 wins and 49 losses, they desperately need a win to boost morale, and this defeat, also let them suffer 6 consecutive defeats in the next 6 games.
At the moment, it seems that there are some problems in the dressing room, and if the management can't handle the dispute between Cunningham and Monty, then Monty is likely to leave at the end of the season, because Monty has completed his first coaching contract in history, 6 years, 77 million! With that said, what do you think of where the Pistons are at the moment? Comments are welcome.
