Chapter 616: Cousins for Davis? (Second Update!) )

After playing the game against the Warriors, the Pelicans followed up with back-to-back games against the Bulls at home.

Tang Tian had a lot of physical exertion last night, and Butler was very familiar with him, and his performance fell back this time, only scoring 25 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

Davis still didn't find his touch, shooting 4-of-14 from the field, only getting 11 rebounds and 9 rebounds.

The Pelicans lost in the end, suffering a wave of two straight losses after a seven-game winning streak.

Fortunately, the 76ers sent a wave of warmth in time, and the Pelicans' losing streak was able to end.

But Davis still didn't play well, with only 10 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 turnovers.

The opponent knows that he doesn't feel good on the outside, and those who defend him only shoot from the spotlight.

It had a huge impact on his performance.

After playing the Timberwolves, the Pelicans followed up with another away game against the Cavaliers.

This is the same as the previous battle against the Warriors, and it is also a key battle.

The game between the two teams was intense, with half-time tied at 46.

In the second half, Cavaliers head coach Blatter grabbed Davis's bad hand and wrapped Tang Tian crazy.

Davis still didn't find his touch, and the Cavaliers gradually established an advantage, James showed bravery, and the Cavaliers eventually won the game.

Tang Tian once again scored 33 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists for a quasi-triple-double.

After the match, fans took to social media to talk about it.

In addition to complaining about Tang Tian's identity as the leader of the group, it was Davis who was the most.

As the second leader of the Pelicans, Davis played in the four games after his return, averaging only 10 points and 8 boards per game, and the shooting rate is less than 30%, only 27%.

This is clearly unqualified, and even absolutely a drag.

Although he has just returned from injury, he should have a strong ability to adjust as a superstar.

And more importantly, playing the two most crucial games of the Warriors and the Cavaliers, you lost because of your performance.

This shows that your ability to fight tough battles is not good!

For a while, there was a lot of doubt about Davis from the outside world, and Holiday was not as effective as playing the No. 1 position, and many people even suggested that he should be traded for an All-Star point guard.

After playing the Cavaliers, the Pelicans returned home to face the Trail Blazers.

Pelican fans are expecting Davis to dispel doubts with a strong performance.

But it didn't, and it could have been worse.

Tang Tian cut a quasi-triple-double of 33 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, carrying the whole court and helping the Pelicans win the game.

But Davis had just seven points and 10 rebounds on 2-of-9 shooting, and had three turnovers.

No one knows what happened to Davis, or when Davis will recover.

After the game was over the day, Tang Tian saw Nash coaching Davis in shooting practice after the game.

Davis' shooting touch doesn't look bad, with a high percentage of mid-range and three-point shooting.

Although training and competition are not the same, it at least shows that Davis's performance is not entirely due to hand problems.

After the press conference, Tang Tian came back and saw that Davis was still practicing alone in the arena, and he walked straight over.

Seeing Tang Tian coming, Davis stopped.

Sweat was dripping, and he practiced for a long time.

"AD, don't worry, we have time, the season is not even halfway through."

After Tang Tian passed, he smiled and persuaded him.

Just as he was attending a press conference, a question came to his mind.

Because of his addition, Davis has actually had fewer opportunities to perform than in history.

Even if his help allows Davis to develop in a more correct direction, he has not been the boss carry, and the psychological quality is actually almost at the level.

In fact, even Davis in history does not have the temperament of being the boss of the team.

So there are ups and downs in performance, and it should be more of a psychological problem.

You must know that this is also the first time that Davis has experienced such a long period of injury absence, and there are only a few people who are naturally mentally strong.

This can be seen in Davis's shot statistics, and his number of shots is constantly decreasing after this game.

Davis smiled and nodded.

This should be to the point.

'It's a long season and it's inevitable to have injuries and I've been through it last season, including the ups and downs of form since I came back, it's normal.

Tang Tian continued to enlighten.

"I know, but I ......"

Davis stopped talking.

"But what? That's the two of us. ”

Tang Tian continued.

"I'm afraid I'll hurt the team if I don't make a shot."

Davis glanced around the arena and said with a slight reproach.

"No, if you don't shoot, you're hurting the team."

Tang Tian directly refuted his words.

Davis looked at Tang Tian in a daze.

"You know Kobe, right? While I'm sometimes speechless about his shot selections, his mamba spirit is something to learn from.

Shooting this thing, aside from the feel, the most important thing is self-confidence, you don't believe you can shoot, why does the ball go in? Leave the results to God? ”

The words are not rough, Tang Tian said nothing wrong.

"We need you to shoot and you can shoot it, but you have to be confident, and a lot of pitchers are trained in iron.

Prokopio said that the way you shoot is like Durant, isn't Durant just crazy to shoot iron? ”

Tang Tian continued.

"We can't do the playoffs without you, you have to get back into shape, and you can get it back."

Tang Tian said as he reached out and touched Davis's head.

Davis nodded vigorously at this hearing.

His shots in the two games of his comeback were actually not small, but he didn't score too many shots, especially the game against the Bulls, which caused problems with his self-confidence.

Tang Tian's encouragement came in a timely and useful manner.

……

"Ahh

Durant was doing upper body strength training in the gym when he suddenly sneezed.

Although it was winter, the temperature in Oklahoma was not high, but the air conditioning was turned on in the training hall, and the sneezing came too suddenly.

He called out to the staff and asked them to turn up the temperature a little more.

……

Davis's poor performance has caused a lot of talk from the outside world.

It was at this time that Woj broke the news.

The Kings have submitted a trade request to the Pelicans in an exchange for Cousins Gaben McClymer for Davis plus Gordon.

Needless to say, Cousins and Davis, McClymer, as last year's No. 7 pick, averaged 12 points per game this season, and Gordon is now on a premium contract.

In terms of transaction value, this is worth it.

The trade proposal was rejected by the Pelicans.

Pelicans owner Tom Benson is very fond of Davis, and he is also very optimistic about the future of Tang Tian and Davis, and it is impossible for Davis to choose to trade him because of his poor performance for a while.

The deal was not negotiated in depth, but it was exposed, which has a negative impact on both teams.

Davis, in particular, has not performed well and has been caught up in trade rumors, which is a huge psychological test for young players.

ps: There are new activities in the comment area, everyone pay attention to it, this time the building is relatively simple.
