313. Battle of the Pelicans
Friday, December 21.
The New Orleans Pelicans led by Davis are hosted by the home game.
This is the first time Anthony Davis has played against the Lakers since the offseason. Of course, this is because Lam has revitalized the entire team in this world, and the Lakers rank third in the West, and the calls for young players to exchange for thick eyebrows have become much less popular.
With the rise of Lin Feng and Kuzmahart and others, rumors about Davis are almost no longer heard. They will only appear when the Lakers lose, but they cannot become a climate.
Therefore, Anthony Davis in this world did not have the intention to leave the team and had been diligent in Orleans eating roasted wings.
Since several players on both sides are old friends, the overall atmosphere before the game is relatively harmonious and it is not as tense as it is in New York.
The team leader played with the Pelicans last season and was familiar with many players on the team. It seems that director Long has a prestige in the Pelicans.
During the warm-up period, Danny Brows Holiday and others took the initiative to come forward to say hello to him.
Randall, who joined the Pelicans this season, also talked and laughed with Yingge Kuzma, and they were still teammates who fought side by side last season.
Zhan and Daohim's personal relationship are good. The two often interact on Twitter and get together for dinner when they have the chance.
Lin Feng seemed a little lonely because when everyone was reminiscing with their opponents, he could only stand aside and smile with a silly smile.
If we talk about the player who has the most connection with his opponent, wesley Johnson must be the big brother of Lam Syracuse University. In the 200910 season, he averaged 220 points per game during his time with the school, which is even better than Lam's first season.
Such a player was also selected by the Timberwolves with the fourth pick in 2010, and he went to many teams and joined the Pelicans in October this year.
Anthony Davis was dubbed by fans as the "empty group leader". The team often got B data in games but eventually lost, which also made the Pelicans only ranked 11th in the Western Conference.
Of course, Lin Feng, a soul-wracking figure, knew that the Pelicans were lucky enough to win the No. 1 pick and chose Zion Williams, who was known as the strongest rookie since James.
Of course, with the addition of the troublemaker Lin Feng in this life, everything became confusing.
In this game, coach Long and Yingge returned from injury, McGee continued to be absent due to influenza, and Beasley did not appear in the future when he dealt with his mother.
Walton boldly used Zubac to play the starting center, which was his first start of the season. Chandler's starting effect on the field was average, and he continued to return to the bench in this game.
On the Pelicans, forward player Mirotic was absent due to injury, and Alfrid and Payton were unable to play.
The lack of Mirotic is indeed a test for the Pelicans, which means there is a barrier in the interior.
In a game that ended last night, the Warriors lost to the Jazz in an upset manner, which gave the Nuggets and the Lakers hope to catch up.
The second-place Nuggets continued to make great strides. They beat the Mavericks under Jokic's leadership, and Doncic was taught a lesson again.
The Thunder Trail Blazers behind won one after another. The Rockets won seven wins and one loss in the last game, which is quite fierce. They have jumped from the bottom of the West to sixth place.
This game tonight is quite critical, and it is the penultimate game before the Lakers' Christmas game, which determines whether they will face the Warriors in the third role or the fifth place in the fourth or even lower.
Compared to the warmth of the two teams before the game, the fight was still very intense after the start.
The ball jumped in the middle circle, the thick eyebrows were Zubac, and the little Zu was still a little immature. The basketball was slapped by the thick eyebrows to Fraser.
To be honest, the Pelicans played well in the first half of last season. Cousins was still in the team at that time. They had the strongest inside combination in the league and once firmly occupied the playoff spot.
Last year, the Pelicans swept Lillard 4-0 in the first round of the playoffs, but they met the Universe Team in the second round.
Rondo added two inside double towers, coupled with Holiday and others, the Pelicans were very interesting last year. Rondo even gave 21 assists in one game.
Looking back at the Pelicans tonight, Cousins has gone to the Warriors to take revenge on society, and Rondo has also put on a golden robe. Only Thick Brows struggles to support the team, but it cannot change their poor record.
In the first round of attack, the ball was passed to Holiday who was pocketed and then handed it to Fraser on the left. The latter took the ball and shot it, smashed the board with a bang, and the basketball crossed the rebound and went out of the baseline.
Rondo returned from injury and entered the starting lineup and served as the starting point guard as usual.
When he organized the offense with the ball, the few Pelicans fans on the scene gave applause, thanking Rondo for his contributions to the team.
The Lakers' first attack, Director Long used the cover to hit the free throw line, and Lao Zhan Yingge and the others were running without the ball to pull the space.
After playing the pick-and-roll, Zubac took the lead. Rondo attracted the thick eyebrows to double-team and passed it to Zubac who was in place at the basket. The latter dunked with both hands!
Rondo and Lam Feng are two completely different No. 1 positions. Director Long is biased towards organization and gives exquisite and good shots, while Lam Feng is more aggressive.
As long as Lin Feng stands on the top of the arc, no one dares to let him go, but the opponent sometimes tightens the basket and chooses to strategically let go of coach Long's shots.
Today is the day for Randle to return to Staples, so he naturally won't miss the opportunity to show himself in front of his old club.
Randle wanted a two-year contract in the summer, and the Lakers gave up Randle in order to maintain the flexible enough salary space to sign star players next year's offseason.
The boy has been resentful about this, and returning to Los Angeles is a big end.
When the Pelicans attacked, Randall received the ball at a low post and ran to Zubac to the basket. After entering the paint area, he turned around and rose to the basket!
bb!
The whistle sounded, and Yingge, who was restoring the defense, blocked the foul.
In the fight again, Holiday rushed into the basket with the ball, intending to get Randall's all-time pickup, but the high lob was destroyed by James in the air.
James fought over the ball with his physical advantage and fought back in one-stop for half.
ss!
While walking, he relied on his body to twist and shake off the "drawer" Fraser and Solomon Hill, and made a layup with his outstanding upper limb strength!
I have to say that the skills of Lao Zhan’s hands that are freely contracted are perfect, and he can switch between hard and soft at will.
Lin Feng, who was on the bench off the court, asked questions like this from the boss. Sometimes he couldn't stop it because of his speed, which caused his layup to be deformed.
That 34-year-old guy was so scary that it was hard for Lin Feng to imagine what it would feel like to be hit.
The Pelicans did not intend to slow down the pace. The ball quickly moved through the half. Randall again, and there was no jump shot at the basket, but Fraser grabbed the offensive rebound above Zubac's head and pointed the ball into the ball.
Randall was sure of his younger brother Zubac, and once again rushed into the basket with the high pick-and-roll of the thick eyebrows, holding the ball in like a beast, and then took off after the battle, facing Zubac's block and sent the ball into the basket!
The referee's whistle sounded again, Zubac's foul, Randall successfully made a layup and added a free throw.
The first quarter was basically spent in the high-speed operation, and the players on the field were exhausted very quickly.
Chapter completed!
