Mitchell beat the Pistons 17+2! He scored 14 points on 6 shots. The Cavaliers made a real profit in 7-for-1. Ball showed his value with 9+9

On October 15th, the NBA preseason continued. Today, the Cavaliers faced the challenge of the Pistons at home. Cunningham did not play on the Pistons' side, while the Cavaliers sent Mobley, Allen and Mitchell. On paper, the Cavaliers are stronger, but now the Cavaliers' substitute strength is weak, which also makes them unable to gain an absolute advantage against any team. The two sides played in a stalemate. Next, let's talk about the game process and then talk about the players' performance.

Game review:

At the beginning of the first quarter, Mitchell and Allen scored 4 points together to take the Cavaliers into the lead. Toha made two free throws to open up the situation for the Pistons. Allen and Meryl scored 4 points together, and Duren and Jenkins scored 5 points together. Afterwards, the game entered the rhythm of the Cavaliers. Led by Ball and Mitchell, the Cavaliers rained three points. They once established a 16-point lead. At the end of the quarter, Orsa and Stewart scored one after another to help the Pistons catch up to 11 points behind to end the first quarter.

Orsa Thompson's firepower continued in the second quarter. He led the Pistons to a 12-2 climax to catch up with the score difference. Hunter scored 2+1 to stop the bleeding. Jenkins hit a three-pointer. Hunter and Dean Wade scored 5 points together. Dunro responded with a three-pointer. After starting the game, Mobley and Hunter led the team to a small climax and established a 6-point lead. Afterwards, the Pistons, led by Toha, began to chase points. However, relying on the performance of Mitchell and Mobley, the Cavaliers stabilized the situation and led by 5 points at halftime.

Jenkins made two free throws to help the Pistons narrow the point difference. Mitchell and Meryl responded with 4 points together. Toha scored 5 points in a row to help the Pistons overtake their opponents. Allen and Mobley successively made free throws to protect the opponent. Roy Reed and Toha led the team to a 10-2 climax to help the Pistons expand their lead. However, their offense suddenly lost power, which also allowed the Cavaliers to seize the opportunity. Dean Wade, Tyson and other substitutes scored one after another, and the Cavaliers went ahead by 9 points to end the third quarter.

Nance Jr. scored 5 points in a row in the final battle to help the Cavaliers expand their lead to double digits. After that, the Pistons failed to mount a decent counterattack. In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Pistons 118-100.

The Pistons are blooming more

In this campaign, the young talents on the Pistons side have shown their potential. Duren was very tough in the face of the Cavaliers Twin Towers. He scored 8 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in 3 of 6 games. The little Warcraft's inside killing ability is indeed great. Orsa is becoming more and more like Amen now. In this campaign, he scored 9 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in 4 of 6 games. His defensive ability and impact are very good. He may have a chance to hit the best defense in the new season.

Holland was not favored when he was drafted, but now he has proven himself. He scored 11 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block on 3-of-9 shooting. Relying on his outstanding talent, he can also combine offense and defense. Although he made more mistakes, this is understandable as a second-year player. As his talent is gradually realized, I am afraid he will not be happy to have him on the bench. The best performer for the Pistons in this campaign was Harris, who scored 19 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist on 5 of 11 shots.

Deng Luo scored 3 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists on 1 of 3 shots. The Pistons acquired him in the offseason with a three-year contract worth 47.98 million. To be honest, it was a bit expensive. He is a pure shooter. , the Pistons took him because they wanted him to replace Beasley's role. It is estimated that Duncan can play a role when Cunningham plays, but in terms of Dun Luo's current ability, he is not worth such a large contract. He is a pure shooter, and his defense and ball handling abilities are not good.

Ball led the team

In this campaign, Mitchell made 6 of 11 shots from the field, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and scored 17 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists. I wonder if you have noticed that when Garland or Mitchell lead the Twin Towers alone, the Cavaliers will be stronger. Their playing styles still conflict. The Cavaliers will have to make a choice in the future. After all, the two backcourts are too short, and it will be a hidden danger if they want to compete for the championship. In this campaign, Mobley made 3 of 13 shots and scored 8 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Although his efficiency was not good, he connected the team very well.

Ball has shown his value in this campaign. Although his personal offense has not returned to form, it is good to have a ball intelligence. He can use his passing to connect the team. In this campaign, he scored 9 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 block in 3 of 5. If Ball maintains his current form, the problem of the Cavaliers' weak bench can be made up for. Now that Hunter has entered the starting lineup, their bench firepower is obviously not as good as before.

Hunter also performed well in this campaign. He made 3 of 6 from the field, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 14 points, 1 rebound, and 2 assists. His offensive firepower is too strong. In the previous three preseason games, he averaged 18.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. He shot 62% from the field, 71.4% from three-point range, and averaged 2.5 three-pointers per game. In order to get him, the Cavaliers gave away two first-round swap picks, three second-round picks, LeVert and Niang, but now it seems that this transaction has been profitable.
