Basketball

NBA heroes compete for hegemony. Every year, young teams rise to the top, creating surprises and astonishing people! In the West, the biggest surprise this season comes from the San Antonio Spurs. As of now, the Spurs are ranked second in the Western Conference with 8 wins and 2 losses, beating the Nuggets, Lakers, Rockets, Warriors and other Western giants, and are only 1.5 games behind the defending champion Thunder (10 wins and 1 loss). The Spurs' super rise is inseparable from the evolution of Wenbanyama. In the new season, Wenban averaged 25.7 points + 12.8 rebounds + 3.4 assists + 1.2 steals + 3.9 blocks + 1.4 three-pointers per game, taking a big step towards becoming a superstar. In the East, the biggest surprise this season comes from the Detroit Pistons. The growth of No. 1 pick CC is equally gratifying!

Two years ago, the Pistons were a bad team suffering a 28-game losing streak, tying the single-season losing streak record in NBA history. Even so, the Pistons still gave CC a five-year, $269 million maximum salary contract with designated rookie clauses that summer. Last season, CC lived up to expectations and was selected to the All-Star Team and the All-NBA Third Team, leading the Pistons to the playoffs with a record of 44 wins and 38 losses. Even though the Pistons lost to the Knicks 2-4 and stopped in the first round, this young guard still showed infinite vitality and full resilience. Even if they lose, they can leave with their heads held high. This year's offseason, the Pistons lost Schroeder and Beasley, but they introduced Dun Luo and LeVert, and the overall structure is making steady progress!

In the new season, the Pistons are making a comeback. Ivey has always been exempt from playing due to injury. LeVert, Stewart, Smith, Harris and others have missed different games due to various injuries. Even so, the Pistons still achieved an excellent record of 9 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference, two games ahead of the Knicks, Heat, Cavaliers and Bucks who ranked 2-5 in the Eastern Conference. Especially in the past period, the Pistons have defeated the Magic, Mavericks, Grizzlies, Jazz, Nets, 76ers and Wizards, winning a wave of 7 consecutive victories. According to statistics, this is the longest winning streak in the league and the second longest winning streak in the league in the new season, second only to the defending champion Thunder's 8-game winning streak.

In this process, the Pistons regained their iron-blooded defense, with speed, hardness, and full of energy. According to statistics from the NBA official website, the Pistons' defensive efficiency in the new season is as high as 110.2, ranking 4th in the league, second only to the Thunder (104.5), Nuggets (108.1) and Mavericks (110); fast break points are as high as 19.1 points, ranking 4th in the league, second only to the Raptors (21 .5 points), Heat (20 points) and Mavericks (19.2 points); inside scoring is as high as 58.7 points, ranking second in the league, second only to the Heat (59.1 points); rebounds are as high as 48.3, ranking third in the league, second only to the Pacers (49.3) and Rockets (49). In the words of old fans, this is the iconic Pistons basketball, and the sky is about to dawn in Detroit!

The strong rise of the Pistons is inseparable from the growth of Duren. In the new season, Duren averaged 19.4 points + 12 rebounds + 1.6 steals + 1.1 steals + 1.2 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 64.7%. According to statistics, Duren has scored a total of 7 double-doubles this season, the third most in the league, trailing only Towns (8) and Jokic (8). At the same time, Duren has scored at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in a single game 6 times this season, tied for the most in the league with Jokic and Antetokounmpo. In the words of fans, Duren may be the number one center in the Eastern Conference in the NBA today. Of course, Duren's growth cannot be separated from the fuel of CC. His performance in the new season deserves the reputation of being the strongest ball-handling core in the Eastern Conference.

So far this season, CC has played in 11 games, averaging 27.5 points + 5.4 rebounds + 9.9 assists (second in the league) + 1.4 steals + 1.9 three-pointers per game. Especially in the game when the Pistons overturned the Wizards in overtime, CC fought hard for 44 minutes, making 14 of 45 shots (2 of 11 three-pointers), 16 of 18 free throws, and scored 46 points + 12 rebounds + 11 assists + 5 steals + 2 blocks. The game set multiple NBA records. According to statistics, CC shot 31 irons in this game, surpassing Kobe and becoming the most irons in the NBA in the past 58 years. The last time he shot more irons than CC was Barry in 1967 (17 of 50 shots, 33 irons). At the same time, CC is the second player in the history of the Pistons to score 40+ triple-doubles, comparable to Thomas the Smiling Assassin. In addition, CC is the first player in NBA history to score at least 45 points + 10 rebounds + 10 assists + 5 steals in a single game.

This is CC. He is tall and versatile. He is the league's top combo guard. He can not only attack and attack, but also organize and connect, and his defense is also online! If I had to find fault, it would be that CC's three-point shooting is not a deterrent enough. So far this season, CC's three-point shooting percentage is only 28.8%. But having said that, CC is still young. At 24 years old, he still has time and space to make up for his shortcomings, and his youthful and mature style of play and temperament are the foundation for the Pistons' accelerated rise! Perhaps this is why the Pistons did not hesitate to give him a super maximum salary of US$269 million over five years. When Heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions, so that his mind and forbearance are moved and he can gain what he cannot. I believe that if you give CC some time, he can get better! Fans and friends, what do you think of this? Come and leave me a comment to discuss.
