The Pelicans had a 3-1 record in early December, which was a great start for them.

But with it comes the difficulties of Davis' absence.

They played the Warriors in their first game back in New Orleans.

Tang Tian scored 41 points, but the Pelicans still lost 103-113.

Curry and Thompson combined for 58 points on 15 three-pointers.

Because Thompson left the nightclub early and trained with the hard brothers training camp every year, his strength is much better than in history.

And on the other points, Bogut suppressed Whiteside, and Iguodala also pressed Gordon to death.

Even if Davis is here, the two teams are five or five strong, some of them are a dozen.

Losing to the Warriors, the Pelicans faced back-to-back Grizzlies the next day.

The loss to the Warriors and Pelicans was not a small blow to morale, and they were a little lost in their high-intensity defense against the Grizzlies in back-to-back.

The Pelicans shot less than 40 percent of the game and won by the end of the third quarter.

After losing to the Grizzlies, the Pelicans suffered a three-game losing streak and ceded the top spot in the West to the Warriors.

For a while, fans were talking.

Those sunspots also seized the opportunity to die black pelicans.

Words such as "Look, it's finally falling" and "I've said they can't do it" are endless.

Even Pelicans management has expressed concern about the team's recent performance.

The coaching staff was under a lot of pressure, and Williams often sat alone in the coaching office, anxious.

After the day's training session, Tang Tian took the initiative to knock on the door of Williams' office.

Seeing that it was Tang Tian, Williams was like seeing a savior.

Last season, Tang Tian not only turned the tide on the field, but also gave the team a lot of help off the field.

"We can try to adjust the starting line-up."

Tang Tian gave his own advice.

His suggestion was to replace Aminu with Teletovic.

He is very strong in breaking through now, and the best way to play is to shoot four stars, but Jokic's strength is not enough to start, so one star and three shots are the limit.

In fact, before Davis was injured, he was more likely to shoot from mid-range.

Aminu couldn't develop a stable three-point shot, and the space on the court couldn't come out, forcing Tang Tian to choose more dry pulling.

Especially in the game against the Grizzlies, Randolph cowered under the basket, and the game was very similar to last season.

As for the defense, with Holiday and Ariza and Whiteside, it's actually not as bad as imagined through the defense.

You must know that in the playoffs last season, the Pelicans also used Morrow to play the starter, and they didn't say that they were blown up.

This season, the flank defense has become stronger, and it is worth a try.

After listening to this, Williams adopted Tang Tian's suggestion.

Three consecutive defeats are a dilemma, and it is better to change than not to change.

And Tang Tian's previous suggestions all worked.

The Pelicans' next game against the Clippers is the Clippers.

Although the Clippers were out of the first round last season, after a season of running-in, the tacit understanding between the Big Three is already very strong.

This season, they are in fourth place in the competitive West, beating the Rockets.

The Pelicans, who were in a bad situation without Davis, were a good morale booster for them before Christmas.

Not to mention the feud between the two teams, who experienced 58 under the Pelicans last season.

The game was played at the New Orleans arena, home of the Pelicans.

On the night of the game, the attendance rate of the stadium was about 8 percent.

The stadium attendance rate was high before, and it can be seen that the recent losing streak has still had a certain impact on the ball market.

The game was about to begin, and players from both sides were moving from the locker rooms to the field.

Before Whiteside got up, Tang Tian stopped him.

"Hassan, don't you want to buy a big house next year?"

Tang Tian said in a low voice.

Whiteside nodded, the two of them had talked about this when Tang Tian went to his house a few days ago.

However, his eyes were full of doubts, and he didn't know why Tang Tian suddenly said this at this time.

'Now is your chance to show your defensive value in the box.'

Tang Tian knew that Whiteside's brain was not very good, so he said it more directly.

Whiteside understood.

Tylertovic's start-up was already said yesterday.

When he starts, others will have to help defend, but it is Whiteside who plays a key role.

After all, Teletovic is a power forward, and opponents will most likely go to the basket if they want to attack him.

Whiteside has proven in previous games that he is a qualified starting centre-forward, but if he can go beyond that definition, that's the chance.

If he can do a good job of helping defense, or even defending one-two, then his value will definitely not be the same as it is now.

"I'm going to buy a big house."

Whiteside said with a determined look in his eyes.

Tang Tian's reminder was very timely, and his emotions about the game became excited again.

After the opening ceremony, the two teams started one after another.

Both sides have regular lineups, with the only change being that Teletovic replaces Aminu in the starting lineup on the Pelicans' side.

Rivers' eyes lit up when he saw the adjustment, and it was clear that he had found a breakthrough in the game.

Jumpers from Whiteside and Jordan Jr., the former leaping high to flick the ball back to the Pelicans' halfcourt, looked very excited.

Teletovic starts, and the Pelicans have a wide open space on the court.

Tang Tian broke through Barnes and went straight inside.

The Clippers shrank their defense, and Tang Tian gave the ball to the bottom corner of Teletovic.

The latter's three-point shot went up and down.

Although he didn't make it to the rotation before, he is a good player like Anderson and is meticulous in his training.

Although he is not worth 20 million when he stands there, he still has 10 million discounts.

Redick's three-pointer around the game was missed, and Whiteside got stuck under the basket to protect Jordan Jr. to protect the defensive rebound.

Going back to the same tactics, Teletovic shot again.

"Huh!"

He drove and threw two open corner three-pointers in a row!

It's almost like opening the "bottom corner three" skill in the game!

Rivers shouted from the sidelines to signal his team to adjust their tactics.

Paul controlled the ball to the front court, and Griffin dropped straight down to ask for the ball.

Paul puts the ball in and Griffin sits down to beat Teletovic.

The gap between the two was too great, and Griffin turned and completely shook Teletovic away.

He took a big stride and flew to buckle it.

Whiteside came over at this point.

Griffin direct buckle.

"Bang!"

The two had a confrontation, and Whiteside took drugs and flew the fan in Griffin's hand out of the field!

A positive bloody blow!

The fans at the scene were stunned, this fight was so hard!

“.！”

After the block, Whiteside yelled at the sidelines.

Griffin was stunned when he heard the familiar words.

When the Clippers and Spurs played the playoffs, he said this to Tang Tian, and Tang Tian used "horse" to provoke him at that time.

I didn't expect Whiteside to turn his head against him!

He frowned and glanced at Tang Tian fiercely.

It must be Tang Tian who is instigating!

But this time, it was he who misunderstood Tang Tian.

Even he misunderstood Whiteside's original purpose in shouting this.

House has many interpretations, Wade shouted it and extended it to the meaning of the home field, but Whiteside's shout is its original meaning.

The house, the big house he told Tang Tian about!

He wants to earn a big house with his performance, and he wants to use such a slogan to remind himself that he wants to earn a big house!
