Cunningham scores
After chatting about the game process, let's talk about the players' play, Cunning shot 9 of 15 in the game, 0 of 1 three-pointer got 18 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, just look at the data His performance is really good, but friends who have watched the game know that Cunningham is in the second half garbage time when the two teams are not defending, he brushed the points, in the first half he scored a total of 9 shots and scored 8 points, the team spent 226 million to renew him, is it to become a premium contract?
Ivey continued his previous performance, this game Ivey shot 7 of 10 from the field, 3 of 5 three-pointers and got 19 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, I have said more than once, Ivey is more suitable as the team's endpoint than Cunningham, his athleticism is better, his singles ability is excellent, the three points were not good enough, now the three points have improved, the offensive end is more grasping, he is more suitable than Cunningham as the team's scoring core.
Harris faced with a tough defense, and this game also withered, with 6 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists on 3-of-9 shooting, and the Pistons renewed his contract for 52 million in 2 years. Duren continued his excellent finishing ability, scoring 14 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks on 7-of-8 shooting from the field. Holland, the team's No. 5 pick this year, didn't get much playing time in this game, scoring only 2 points.
Warriors bloom more
Although Curry is absent, the Warriors now have too much young talent, this game in Moody and Kuminga led by the team's 6 scoring double-doubles, Moody shot 5 of 14, 2 of 5 three-pointers got 14 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, he is the team's leading scorer in the preseason so far, I hope Kerr can give him more playing time after the start of the new season. Kuminga finished with 12 points and two rebounds on 4-of-9 shooting and 3-of-5 three-pointers, and his three-point shooting was indeed better than before.
Pojam also warmed up on the offensive end in this game, he shot 4 of 7 from the field, 2 of 3 from three-point range and got 12 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Davis also returned to the starting lineup because of his dream chase in this game, scoring 12 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks on 6-of-7 shooting.
Hield shot 4 of 8 from the field, 4 of 6 from three-point range and got 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Waters got 13 points and 7 rebounds, although Melton's personal offense was not efficient enough in this game, but his good tandem team, 2 of 11 shots got 5 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, Lee Kyle got 2 points and 3 rebounds, seeing this game, maybe the Pistons should understand that teams with excellent systems are easier to win, if you look at the draft picks, the Pistons are far stronger than the Warriors, but they just can't win.
