Chapter 1064: Lakers General ...... After being beaten (the fifth watch!) )
Siakam broke out completely, scoring a game-high 26 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks!
Brogdon had 17 points and seven assists, while Bojan had 15.
The Pelicans' Big Four didn't play, but the bench Big Three combined for 58 points and played bravely!
In addition, Dedmon had a double-double of 10 points and 10 boards, Kuzma made two three-pointers and scored nine points, and Lamb had eight points and three boards.
When the game was playing, Clippers fans were very unconvinced, thinking that the team was not playing well.
But after the game, I went to watch the game, especially to see Siakam's inside and outside shots and passes, Brogdon organized to add three points, and Bojan didn't miss a shot.
They realized that it wasn't good luck for the Pelicans to win, or that I was playing too well and you weren't playing well.
In terms of talent alone, the Pelicans' bench is more talented than this Clippers team!
It's a brutal reality.
But it's that cruel.
Everyone's eyes are drawn to the Pelicans' Big Four, but in fact, the Pelicans' bench is not weak!
Siakam is tall and has long arms, and he was not favored at first because the attack was too rough.
But one season and one offseason passed, and he was directly reborn.
There are too many people in the NBA who have excellent defense and rough offense, and most of them can't practice.
But there are also those who can practice, such as Leonard of the Spurs, such as Siakam of the Pelicans!
No wonder Brogdon is so strong, but the Pelicans still chose Siakam with a higher pick.
Brogdon chose instant power, Siakam chose talent!
Add to that Bojan, a starter-level player, as well as Dedmon, who performed well before, and Lamb, the Hornets' starter last season, and Kuzma, whose draft pick was predicted not to be three-pointers but did three-pointers!
Really put aside the skills and tactics, play or anything, the strength of the Pelicans bench itself is very strong!
"I'm Hu Mi, can I admit defeat directly in the next game? I really don't want to be humiliated! ”
"No, I'm Boat Honey, we were beaten and you want to run? There are no doors, and I guess you'll lose more than we do tomorrow! ”
"You're all chickens, and you're still fighting among yourself! Sure enough, the same city is a mortal enemy! ”
"In other words, Stevens's operation is really showy, and the substitute played the main force and won the battle, and it was successfully waved!"
"I even think the Pelicans will play the Lakers next and there may be further rotations!"
"You boat honey get out of the way, if he dares to do this, the Lakers will dare to win!"
……
After the Pelicans won the game, there was inevitably another bloody storm on social media.
In this context, after a two-day break, the Pelicans continued to visit the Staples Center and ushered in a Lakers game.
The Lakers are now in a complete rebuild, with Simmons and Ball at the core of the team, plus players like Pope, Clarkson, and Bullock Lopez.
And perhaps knowing that the Lakers are completely rebuilding, Stevens really rotated this game as fans talked about on social media!
The starting line-up for both sides came out at the end of the pre-game warm-up.
Lakers, Ball, Clarkson, Pope, Simmons and Lopez.
On the Pelicans' side, Brogdon, Lamb, Siakam, David West, Harrell!
Bojan and Dedmon are not fighting!
This is equivalent to a 15-man roster, 6 people are out of battle, even if you count Ding Yanyuhang and Caruso who were present, there are only 11 people in total!
Lakers head coach Scott saw this lineup, rubbed his nose, and scratched his head again.
This is really ruthless!
The game started quickly, and Lopez won the first offensive opportunity for the Lakers.
Ball organized the frontcourt, and the Pelicans defended a 2-3 combo.
Stevens wants to inspect players and win, this is knowing that the Lakers' three-point shooting ability is weak, and he directly protects the basket!
Sure enough, after the Lakers reversed the ball from the outside, Ball's empty position crooked a three-point shot.
The ball was visibly deflected and bounced off the front of the basket, and Harrell defended the defensive rebound.
The Pelicans counterattacked directly, Brogdon received the ball against Ball out of bounds, and knocked the ball to Siakam in advance, who scored first!
There was an uproar on the sidelines.
Simmons showed his talent in the frontcourt and forced a foul to the basket for West.
But unfortunately he missed both free throws.
This past summer, he and the Kardashian family's little sister Jenner have been in the news, and I don't know if they have consumed too much energy in that regard.
West protects defensive rebounds.
The Pelicans played in the frontcourt, and Brogdon and Siakam made three-point shots after blocking and then entering!
And back on the defensive end, Siakam stole Ball's pass to Pope, and scored 2+1 against Clarkson in the fast break!
The free throw hit steadily, and the Pelicans started the game 8-0!
The Lakers were beaten at the beginning!
At this time, the most excited are the Clippers fans.
Both teams were fighting for the playoffs before, and it was to see who was stronger.
Now they are all rebuilding, and the joy is who is more dish!
However, fortunately, at the critical moment, the veteran Lopes stepped up to stabilize the morale of the army, he first set up a high battery on the outside to hit a three-pointer, and then assisted Simmons to score two points.
After a 5-0 run, the Lakers were deadlocked.
About 9 minutes into the first quarter, the two teams entered the rotation one after another.
At this time, Rose and Ding Yanyuhang were replaced on the Pelicans' side.
There was a stirring at the scene.
This is Rose's first appearance for the Pelicans, and it is also Ding's first time.
Rose came up and borrowed Kuzma to block and break to the basket and hit Zubac to score the ball.
His ability is indeed still there as Tang Tian knows, but there are hidden dangers of injury, and it is difficult to play full-time, or even half-time.
Pope missed an outside three-point attempt, and Thomas Bryant protected the defensive rebound.
When it advanced to the frontcourt, it was still Rose, who borrowed Bryant's blocking and pick-and-roll, and directly pulled out three points from the outside.
"Huh!"
Return in!
Every team has the technical characteristics of each team, and the Pelicans are characterized by three-pointers, especially those for role players.
Even if it's just when Tang Tian is single, this is what the coaching staff has always requires, because the sense of space and Tang Tian's singles ability complement each other.
So after Rose entered the Pelicans training camp, the coaching staff not only let him recuperate from his injury, but also focused on three points.
Rose used to be a supergiant and didn't have to practice, but when he came to the Pelicans, he was only a role player, and the coaching staff required him to practice.
Judging from the ball just now, with Nash's training method, the effect is very good!
The Lakers' frontcourt tactics, Zubac's shot inside was interfered with by Bryant.
The Lakers were right to covet Bryant, who was as tough as Dedmon under the basket.
Looking back, Rose broke through and encountered the bag, and the ball was given to Ding Yanyuhang on the outside, who made a decisive shot with three points in the open position.
"Huh!"
Basketball hollow into the net, Ding Yanyuhang got his first point in the NBA, or a three-point!
24-14, after the Pelicans launched a wave of 8-0 offense, the difference was stretched to double digits!
Lakers...... Beaten again!
