Out of the blue! The Mavericks’ No. 1 pick shot too low and lost to the Pistons again

Basketball

The two teams still had trouble deciding the winner with 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter. The Mavericks and the Pistons were almost tied, and eventually lost to the Pistons 110-122. In this process, the Mavericks' No. 1 pick Flagg can be said to be very mediocre.

Before the game was over, Flagg had already made 3 of 14 shots and 2 of 6 from beyond the three-point line. His shooting percentage was very low. His 12 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists did not reflect the level of a No. 1 pick. Mavericks head coach Kidd has been trying to put Flagg at the point guard position, which is really inappropriate and makes Flagg very painful.

Some time ago, Flagg even asked Big Brother "Big Eyebrow Brother" Anthony Davis what he should do on the court to play more comfortably, but Big Eyebrow Brother couldn't answer. In a previous game, Brother Big Eyebrow only played in the first quarter before he was injured and retired from the game. As a result, Flagg was able to return to the frontcourt without having to play guard. His performance immediately improved and he led the team to victory.

In this game, Brother Big Eyebrow did not come back, but center Gafford was available, so the Mavericks sent out a frontcourt combination of Gafford and PJ Washington. Thompson was at the small forward position, and Flagg was still a point guard, so he continued to play very tangled in this game.

The Mavericks' performance at the beginning of this season was not good, with few wins and many losses. It was always difficult to win. The pressure on head coach Kidd was actually quite high. When Kidd was coaching the Milwaukee Bucks, he once arranged "Antetokounmpo" Giannis Antetokounmpo to serve as the point guard, but it obviously failed. Antetokounmpo couldn't play point guard at all, and Kidd was dismissed.

Now, Kidd wants Flagg to play point guard again, which is obviously a failed attempt. I wonder if Kidd will be dismissed this time.
