The metaphysical rules of the Pistons championship, one win away! If Iver returns to last season s level, he doesn t need to be traded

Ivey, the fifth pick in the first round of 2022, a man known as Little Wade, made his comeback debut after 11 months! The 15-minute performance shocked the Motor City fans. This man's recovery level will determine how far the Pistons can go this season.

On November 23, the Pistons defeated the Bucks 129-116 and won 12 consecutive victories, tying the record of the 1989-90 season and tying for third place in the team's winning streak list.

The biggest focus of this game is the comeback of Pistons player Ivey. He played 15 minutes in this game and scored 4 of 6, including 1 of 3 3-pointers. He scored 10 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal.

What is surprising is that, after not playing basketball for almost a year, he can integrate seamlessly into the Pistons system without any obvious feeling of unfamiliarity. He is indeed in good physical fitness, but it is different.

Peter believes that if the Pistons want to win the championship this season, they need to look at Ivey, the X-factor's recovery. If he can return to his pre-injury level, then the new Pistons' top five players will be enough to compete with the Thunder.

Last season, Ivey played 30 games on behalf of the Pistons, averaging 17.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4 assists and 0.9 steals per game, with an overall shooting rate of 46% and a three-point shooting rate of 40.9%!

If Ivey's recovery progress is slow and not as expected, he may become a major bargaining chip for the Pistons' mid-season trade.

The Pistons will still be looking for an All-Star-level helper with rich playoff experience. James Harden and Anthony Davis are all potential targets.

In addition, there is a metaphysical winning pattern in the history of the Pistons. The longest winning streak in the history of the Pistons is 13 consecutive victories, created in the 1989-90 season and the 2003-04 season, and the Pistons won the championship in both seasons.

The next opponent for the Pistons is the Pacers. It seems that the 13th consecutive victory is within reach. Do you think the Pistons have a chance to win the championship this season~
