Chapter 905: Three bi-weekly averages! (Second Update!) )
There is not much suspense about the outcome of the outcome.
However, in the first game of the season, Lue didn't want to give up so easily, and he sent James, Irving and Love all on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
This is to make the final wave.
Stevens didn't put Tang Tian on the court this time, and even Davis rested off the court together.
On the one hand, there is a lot of room for the lead;
On the other hand, it is also a more important aspect, now this point is given to the main force, and there will definitely be problems with physical fitness in the end, so it is better to rotate normally.
The Cavaliers launched a comeback under the leadership of the Big Three, and Delon was still in a slump, missing shots and making passing errors.
The Cavaliers took the opportunity to play a wave of offense, closing the margin to about 15 points.
The fourth quarter played more than 4 minutes, and Stevens replaced the main player on the court at this time.
Tang Tian showed his supergiant nature, and when he came up, he broke through and scored a goal to stabilize the situation.
After Irving's three-pointer from the outside, he quickly returned the answerball.
The Cavaliers had a good final quarter, but the momentum of chasing points in the stalemate slowed significantly.
And the further the game goes, the more obvious their fitness problems become, and they can't afford to close the point difference.
It was played until 2 minutes before the end, and the score difference fluctuated around 15 points.
Lu eventually withdrew his main force and abandoned the game.
Stevens also replaced the main players one after another.
The scene resounded with cheers.
Perhaps it was the last game between the Warriors and the Spurs that caused the league to encounter too much pressure from public opinion, and the referee did not stand up to steal the show in this game.
And without the help of the referees, coupled with the fact that Whiteside was beaten and couldn't play, the Cavaliers, like last season, failed to pose much of a threat to the Pelicans.
In the final two minutes, Brogdon, Joe Harris and Boban were given the chance to play.
Brogdon showed great preseason form, hitting a three-pointer and then breaking through to make a three-pointer for Harris.
The six-pointer also helped the Pelicans stretch the margin to 20 points.
In other words, the Cavaliers chased for nothing in the final quarter......
In the end, the Pelicans got the season off to a good start with a 120-99 win over the Cavaliers in their home opener.
Davis had a team-high 28 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, Jokic had 21 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Holiday had 13 points and 7 assists, and Bojan had 12 points.
Tang Tian scored 25 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists.
The stats weren't too impressive for him, especially with the low score.
But from the competition, you can feel that after the Olympics, he has more control of the competition.
Scoring is mostly key points, and he also organizes the team's offense more fluidly in a faster pace of play.
For the Cavaliers, James had 30 points, seven rebounds and eight assists, Irving had 20 points and four assists, Love had 16 points and five boards, and Tristan Thompson had eight points and eight boards.
Whiteside played just 20 minutes and finished with 11 points, five rebounds and two blocks.
Looking at the data, the Cavaliers' wave of 98 million reinforcements in the summer is a bit of a loss, but after watching the game, the 98 million has been lost.
If you don't want to really scrap, you have to see how Lu and Whiteside can adjust.
But that's something the Cavaliers need to consider, as the Pelicans' morale to defend their title is getting higher and higher after the Pelicans' big win in the opener.
Riding on this momentum, they continued to knock out the Raptors, Jazz and Clippers in the next week.
Tang Tian's statistics in these three games were 29 points, 11 boards and 12 assists, 40 points, 9 boards and 10 assists, and 31 points, 10 boards and 11 assists.
In their first week of the season, they finished with a 4-0 record and tied with the Warriors for the top spot in the league.
In TNT's latest power rankings, the Pelicans also beat the Warriors to the top spot.
In addition to TNT's Don Tsun, O'Neal, the Warriors' opener won by controversial penalty decisions, which obviously deducted them a lot of points.
The remaining championship contenders, the Rockets, Mavericks, Spurs and Cavaliers, all have a 3-1 record.
This performance is basically similar to what the media predicted at the beginning of the season.
However, there will be dark horse teams every season, and this time the dark horse team is the Hornets in the West.
The Hornets have not lost a game since the start of the game, and their 4-0 record is higher than that of the Cavaliers and Raptors in the top spot in the East!
And the key person who made them achieve this result is the core of the team, Kemba Walker.
He averaged 35.25 points, 3 rebounds and 5.25 assists per game over the past week, shooting 48.7 percent from the field and 50 percent from three-point range.
At the end of the training camp for the hard brothers, Tang Tian said that Walker would play at the peak of his career.
It turned out that it was not poisoned milk, but a very accurate prediction.
At the end of the first week of play, the league also announced the Player of the Week for the East and West.
Kemba Walker was elected for the second time in his career.
On the western side, Tang Tian's election does not have much suspense.
The Pelicans won all four games, averaging 31.25 points, 10.25 rebounds and 10.5 assists per game while shooting 52 percent from the field and 49 percent from three-point range.
After meeting with Jordan, Tang Tian set himself the goal of averaging a triple-double per game.
It's been a long season, but at least he did it in the first week!
Of course, more importantly, he led the team to win while doing it!
"Volute has finally risen! The Kangda Twins shine in the NBA! ”
"Walker's progress this season has been unexpected, but Don is also too showy, averaging a triple-double per game! This is to make the old man Oscar unable to sit still! ”
"In fact, Don had a lot of assists in the second half of last season, and his rebounds seem to have strengthened again this season, so it makes sense to get a triple-double!"
"Physical strength is now the biggest factor restricting him, I think he can really have a chance to average a triple-double per game if he trains his physical fitness!"
"I'm really looking forward to Michael Don surprising us every season and letting us witness history!"
……
Zhou Wei was trained hard by his brothers, and at this time, Dong Zhan Xidu was a little depressed.
Durant's performance in the first week was also very good, and the Warriors were also 4-0, but he just couldn't win against Tang Tian......
Originally, being defeated by Tang Tian was all exclusive to Klay Thompson.
Well, now that Durant is also coming to the Warriors, this is the "defeated duo".
Durant is depressed, and James is even more depressed.
He didn't join Dream 12 to play in the Olympics this past summer, and he didn't attend many events.
After losing in the finals last season, he spent almost the entire summer losing weight and training.
His style of play is more elegant, and the proportion of outside shots is also increasing.
So far this season, he has shot 45% from three-point range, which is quite good, averaging 32.25 points, 8 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, and his performance is also eye-catching.
But it's a pity that the knight was beaten by the Pelicans, he not only lost to Tang Tian, but even the best of the week was robbed by Tang Tian's good friend Walker......
If you can, the league's first and second small forwards should really find a bar to sit down at this time and have a sympathetic exchange.
