The Pistons fight against the sky and write the iron-blooded myth of New York. Cunningham s final destiny is interpreted as the leader!

5:10pm, 7 May 2025【Basketball】

1. The desperate breakthrough under the script of hell

When the final whistle sounded, the scene of Cunningham kneeling and kissing the Pistons' logo exploded in Madison Square Garden. Behind the 106-103 score is the most shocking redemption script in the history of the NBA playoffs - this young army with a regular season winning rate of less than 40%, in the three desperate situations of referee black whistle, core locked, and away games, they broke the road from the steel defense line built by Thibodeau.

2. The bloody revenge caused by the referee report

The G4 referee report released by the league three days ago was like Mars thrown into a gasoline barrel: Hart's fatal three-point foul on Hardaway Jr. was admitted to missing the judgment, which directly led to the Pistons being stolen from 2-2 to win. At this time, the series had formed a strange double narrative: the official admitted the misjudgment but refused to change the judgment, forcing the Detroiter into the abyss of 1-3.

3. Tactical Revolution in the Torrent of Steel

This game can be regarded as a textbook for modern basketball defense. Both sides cut the game into 68 offensive and defensive rounds (98 rounds per game in the regular season), and the proportion of scores in the paint area fell below 30%. Coach Monty made an abnormal arrangement: No. 5 Durham transformed into a supportive axis, and Osar Thompson played the point guard at 203cm tall, completely disrupting the Knicks' double-team trap.

4. 13 points in the last quarter + key defense superstar certification

Cunningham uses actions to interpret what a phenomenal supernova. With the cold touch of 3 of 13 in the first three quarters, he started the killing mode at the decisive moment: 13 points in a single quarter + 2 assists + key blocking Brunson. The fatal thing is that 1.2 seconds before the final game, facing OG Anunobi's death entanglement, he actually completed a difficult step withdrawal and throw-in to secure the victory.

5. The New York dilemma under the cloud of injuries

The Knicks paid a heavy price for this battle: Hart's left knee was overstretched, and Brunson's shooting rate fell below 30% with injuries. Thibodeau's seven-player rotation curse came true again - data shows that when his main player averaged more than 42 minutes per game, the team's injury rate soared by 287%. The sound of ice packs coming from the New York locker room at this moment may be more suffocating than the defeat.

6. The new generation of point guards' handover

When we compare the two sets of data:

Cunningham: 58.3% real hit rate at 30.4% usage rate in the series

Brunson: 34.1% usage rate is only 49.2% real hit rate

This is not only a crush of personal performance, but also a sign of a drastic change in the power structure of the East District backcourt. The 25-year-old No. 1 pick officially took over the title of "No. 1 point guard in the East" with a performance averaged 28+7+7.

7. Undercurrent G6 ultimate game

Historical data shows that the probability of a 2-3 lag behind the team is 17.3%, but the Pistons face a more complicated battlefield:

Knicks may activate Randall as a surprise soldier

referee scale may be pulled back under public opinion pressure

Monty needs to crack"Cunningham dependence"

This game has surpassed the scope of basketball and has become a comprehensive competition of psychological warfare, public opinion warfare, and physical reserves.

When the City of Steel crashed the basketball holy land

The young guards who came from the ruins of the Motor City were writing an epic of blue-collar basketball. Just like the sentence "Detroit vs. Everybody" on the locker room wall, this victory is not only a score reversal, but also a gorgeous counterattack of grassroots will against the establishment hegemony. G6 returns to Auburn Hill Palace, and what awaits us may be another legendary night that has been recorded in history.
