Cunningham is amid the best stretch of his professional career, furthering a
case for his first All-Star bid and making franchise history in the process.“
I believe I am,” Cunningham said at his locker when asked if he thought was
an All-Star. “Whenever I’m on the court every night, I feel like I’m the
best player. I try to do whatever it takes to help my team win, and my
teammates have made me look great this year. I’m just trying to help my team
win and we’ll see what happens with it.”
Cunningham 正处于他职业生涯中最好的时期，并进一步争取他第一次入选全明星，也在
过程中创造了球队历史。(队史首位在MSG大三元的球员)
“我相信我是。”当 Cunningham 被问到他是否认为自己是全明星时，他在更衣柜前说道
。
“每当我每晚在球场上时，我都感觉我是场上最好的球员。我会尝试做任何事来帮助我的
球队赢球，我的队友今年让我看起来很棒。我只想帮助球队赢得比赛，至于结果如何就让
我们拭目以待。”
Cunningham also was sure to credit his teammates. The bond he shares with
them is apparent. Despite Cunningham having one of the best games of his
young career, he was just another guy in the locker room after the win.
Pistons players enjoyed pizza over music provided by Jalen Duren.
It was much less about Cunningham in the confines of the Detroit locker room
and more about the road win over a top-five team in the Eastern Conference to
move to 10-15.
Cunningham 也给予他的队友肯定，他与队友之间的好关系显而易见。
尽管 Cunningham 打出了他年轻职业生涯中最好的比赛之一，但在胜利之后，他只是更衣
室里的其中一个、在 Jalen Duren 提供的音乐中享用披萨的活塞球员。
在更衣室里，重点不是 Cunningham 本场的表现，而是活塞成功在客场击败东区前五的强
队，并使战绩提升至10胜15败。
Cunningham entered the season with two triple-doubles and through the first
25 games this season, he already has five triple-doubles.
Before Saturday’s performance, his 23.7 points on 45.2 percent from the
field and 37.8 percent from 3-point range, 9.1 assists and 7.2 rebounds were
well on pace to be career bests. In his last 10 games, Cunningham is posting
24.5 points on 40.8 percent from 3, 10.0 assists and 7.1 rebounds.
Aside from back-to-back career highs in assists, his five triple-doubles are
the third most in a season in franchise history (Grant Hill had 13 and 10)
and the third most in the NBA this season behind former MVPs Nikola Joki
and LeBron James.
Cunningham 在本赛季开始前只有2次大三元，但本季在前25场比赛中已经完成5次大三元
。
在本场比赛前，他平均有23.7分7.2篮板9.1助攻，并有45.2%的命中率与37.8%的三分命
中率，这些数据都是他的生涯新高。
在过去的10场比赛中，Cunningham 场均24.5分7.1篮板10助攻，三分球命中率40.8%。
除了连续两场创下助攻生涯新高外，他的5次大三元也是活塞队史单季第三多。(仅次于
Hill的13次与10次)
他也是本季目前大三元次数第三高的球员，只排在前MVP们的Jokic与LeBron之后。
To put Cunningham’s level of play in perspective, Indiana Pacers guard
Tyrese Haliburton, who started in the 2024 All-Star Game, averaged 20.1
points on 47.7 percent shooting and 36.4 percent from distance, 10.9 assists
and 3.9 rebounds last season. Damian Lillard was the other starter in the
East backcourt. Lillard averaged 24.3 points on 35.4 percent shooting from 3,
7.0 assists and 4.4 rebounds.
Cunningham’s numbers are on par with both of the guards who started in the
East last season and his numbers are producing wins, too. While Detroit’s
record might not jump off the page, the Pistons were only 2-23 through their
first 25 last season. This is the best start Cunningham has seen through 25
games in his four NBA seasons, and it’s the best start Detroit has had
through 25 games since 2019-20.
为了了解 Cunningham 的表现，我们稍微做个比较。印第安纳溜马后卫Tyrese Haliburton
，他是2024年全明星赛的先发球员，去年赛季场均得到20.1分，投篮命中率47.7%，三分
命中率36.4%，还有10.9次助攻和3.9个篮板。
Damian Lillard 是东区后场的另一名先发球员，场均得到24.3分，三分命中率为35.4%，
7.0次助攻和4.4个篮板。
Cunningham 的数据与去年东区先发的两名后卫相当，而且他的表现也带来了胜利。尽管活
塞的战绩可能不会引起太多关注，但他们在上个赛季的前25场比赛中只有2胜23败。这季
是 Cunningham 四个NBA赛季中前25场比赛的最佳开局，也是活塞自2019-20赛季以来，前
25场比赛的最佳开局。
“(Cade) set the tone for the game,” Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff said
postgame. “Defensively we asked him to guard (Jalen) Brunson. I thought he
did a really good job of keeping him in front of him and containing him. He
played a complete game tonight and I was proud of his effort, but to see the
growth from game to game and the things we talked about in Boston.
And to be able to carry it over to tonight, I thought, was really good.”
The 23-year-old guard is also maximizing the potential of those around him.
Malik Beasley is on pace to average the second-most points of his career on
39.9 percent from behind the arc. Cunningham’s backcourt mate, Jaden Ivey,
is on pace for career-highs in points, field-goal percentage and 3-point
percentage.
“活塞教练 J.B. Bickerstaff 在赛后说道：“（Cade）为这场比赛定下基调。防守方
面，我们要求他防守（Jalen）Brunson 。我觉得他做得非常好，把他挡在身前，遏制住
他。他今晚打了一场完美的比赛，我为他的努力感到骄傲，能看到他从一场比赛到下一场
比赛的成长，也改善了我们在Boston谈过的问题。”
这位 23 岁的后卫也将他队友的潜力发挥到极致。Malik Beasley以39.9%的三分命中率，
砍下生涯第二高的场均得分。Cunningham 的后场搭档 Jaden Ivey 的得分、命中率和三分
球命中率也都有望创下职业生涯新高。
“To be honest, I didn’t really feel like I got in the zone like I wanted to
tonight,” Cunningham told The Athletic from his TD Garden locker after a
130-120 loss to the Celtics.
Heading into the locker room Saturday, that question was front of mind
considering how he had just played. This time, Cunningham had a different
answer.
“It felt a little different,” Cunningham said. “The 3-ball was falling,
too. I felt like I could make whatever reads, I was making all of the reads
on time and on target. I definitely felt like I was in that zone, for sure.”
“老实说，今晚我没有进入我想要的状态。”Cunningham 在以130-120败给塞尔提克后
，在TD Garden 更衣室接受采访时这样告诉 The Athletic。
而在星期六击败尼克进入更衣室时，考虑到他刚刚的表现，这个问题又在脑海中浮现。面对
这一次的提问，Cunningham 有了不同的答案。
“感觉有点不同，”Cunningham 说。“三分球能成功命中。我觉得我可以做出任何判断
，而且所有的判断都很即时且准确。我觉得我肯定进入了ZONE。”
心得:Cade目前在各项进阶数据也都来到生涯新高，EPM来到了+2.8
而三分球命中率在对战尼克过后也升至39.3%
希望能成功进入明星赛，活塞上一个进入明星赛的球员已经是18-19的BG了
