The Pistons won 6 consecutive games! In the battle for the first point guard in the Eastern Conference, Maxey lost to Cunningham 33+7, and VJ was used.

On November 10th, the NBA regular season continued. Today, the 76ers faced the challenge of the Pistons at home. Before this game, the Pistons had won 5 consecutive victories and climbed to the first place in the Eastern Conference. Many fans also called them the Eastern Thunder. The 76ers fell from first place in the Eastern Conference at the beginning of the season to fifth place, but they still want to win. A fierce battle is inevitable. Next, let's talk about the game process first, and then talk about the performance of the players.

Game review:

At the beginning of the first quarter, Oubre hit a layup to help the 76ers take the lead. Dun Luo and Holland hit three-pointers one after another to open up the situation for the Pistons. Zhuang Shen scored 4 points with consecutive offenses and free throws. Len and Orsa responded with 6 points together. Relying on better offensive firepower, the Pistons once established an 8-point lead. However, the 76ers played tenaciously. Driven by Maxey, they kept clinging to the score. After the first quarter, the Pistons led by 5 points.

In the second quarter, Grimes and Edgecombe scored 4 points together to help the 76ers narrow the point difference. Paul Reed responded with a tip-in from the inside. Walker and Grimes scored 6 points in a row with free throws to overtake the Pistons. Orsa and Duren responded with 5 points together. Kersey led the team to an 8-0 spurt, and then the game entered the rhythm of the 76ers. Driven by Maxey, they gradually expanded their lead to double digits. The Pistons led by 10 points at halftime. Maxey had 8 points and 2 assists in a single quarter.

After changing sides, Holland hit a three-pointer to help the Pistons narrow the point difference. Zhuang Shen and Watford responded by scoring 4 points together. After that, the game entered the rhythm of the Pistons. Cunningham led the team to a 9-0 wave. The climax was only 2 points away. Maxi led the team to retaliate with an 11-0 climax to re-establish a double-digit lead. Cunningham scored consecutively and led the team to respond with a 15-2 wave to directly overtake the opponent. At the end of the third quarter, the Pistons led by 2 points.

In the decisive battle in the final quarter, the two sides played very stalemate, with the point difference always being around 5 points. In the last 2 minutes of the game, Edgecombe hit a three-pointer to help the 76ers catch up to only 1 point. Cunningham scored a key 2+1. Maxey led the team to catch up to only 1 point in the last 30 seconds. Cunningham made a key kill inside, and Maxey missed the draw. In the end, the Pistons defeated the 76ers 111-108.

Cunningham combines attack and pass

This game is considered to be the battle for the No. 1 point guard in the Eastern Conference. Maxey has suddenly emerged this season, and Cunningham has become more mature. Therefore, between the two of them and Brunson, no one can say who is the current No. 1 point guard in the Eastern Conference. In the conversation between the two in this game, Cunningham won. He has better leadership ability and stronger court control. In this campaign, Canning scored 26 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists and 1 steal on 9-of-20 safety. He is indeed more mature this season, but his finishing ability is still far behind his template Doncic.

However, Cunningham connected the team very well. Duren scored 21 points, 16 rebounds and 1 assist on 8 of 11 shots. In the past period of time, the Pistons have been able to achieve 5 consecutive victories. Cunningham and Duren are the key. In this game, the opponent also focuses on defending the two. The team's other scoring points are not so stable. In addition, Toha is absent, so the Pistons are suppressed by their opponents for most of the game. If Beasley can return to the league, I think signing him back will make the Pistons stronger.

In this game, Orsa scored 14 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals on 6-of-9 shooting. He is so similar to his brother. In terms of playing style and talent, the shortcomings are the same. His shooting ability is not good enough. Dun Luo scored 17 points in this game. Although his shooting ability is top-notch, he will be targeted by his opponents on the defensive end. LeVert played well in this campaign, scoring 14 points on 4 of 6. Although the team's offense is not very good, their defense is too tough. This is the reason why they can reach first place in the Eastern Conference.

Edgecomb was used

In this game, Maxey faced a key defense. He tried his best. He scored 33 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists on 10 of 25 shots. However, in terms of personal damage, he was more aggressive than Cunningham. Embiid's absence in this campaign has affected the 76ers' strength. Judging from the past period of time, Embiid is still at his peak level. When he recovers and returns, the 76ers will have a chance to achieve good results this season, but they are afraid that the whole season will be like Kawhi's before, and they will often be under load management.

Edgecombe has not performed well in the past period. The reason for this problem is not Edgecombe himself, but the fact that he has less and less possession of the ball, and he is not given corresponding tactics. Edgecombe scored 8 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists on 2-of-8 shooting. If this continues, the Rookie of the Year may not be guaranteed. Now the 76ers use him as a 3D, and the young man's kills after confrontation are still not stable enough. Of course, this is understandable, as he is still a rookie after all.

In this campaign, Grimes scored 13 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and Zhuang Shen scored 17 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists. After all, he is the 4th rebounding champion. If it were not for the arrival of the small ball era, Zhuang Shen might still be the league's top center with a big contract. He has talent, and he is indeed the first in the league in terms of protecting rebounds. Brother Moxian is still looking for form, and it can be seen that the 76ers no longer intend to focus on cultivating him.
