After Dinwiddie's goal, the Pelicans also made substitutions, with Davis coming on for Ariza.

Davis' return gives the Pelicans more leeway to rotate, and with him in good shape tonight, Williams wants to use him more.

Boozer went up front and didn't play in the low post.

He is confident in playing Aminu, but when he beats Davis, he is still very forced in his heart.

Price gave the ball to Clarkson, who called Boozer for a pick-and-roll.

Clarkson is a rookie, but he has a strong mental quality and is not stage frightened, and he is very aggressive with the ball.

The Pelicans are shrinking inside.

Clarkson, however, looked back at the moon, jumped up and threw the ball directly at Boozer.

It's a classic pick-and-roll fit.

"Smack!"

But just as he was passing the ball back, Dinwiddie, who switched to Boozer, directly reached out and broke the ball!

This prediction was very good, and it ruined the Lakers' offense.

And after the steal, he went directly to the fast break, although his layup was interfered with by the chasing Yang and did not score, but the follow-up Aminu made up for the ball.

The Pelicans have stretched the margin to 16 points.

D'Antoni was forced to call a timeout.

On the off court, Dinwiddie received high-fives from several of his teammates.

Obviously, his performance in this section has been affirmed and recognized by his teammates.

But opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

If he hadn't been prepared, even if Holiday was injured, Williams would have chosen to use the more experienced Shevid, and even if he was sent on, it would just be a few more switchbacks and then a hurried off.

In this game, the Pelicans were in good shape as a team, while Kobe Bryant on the Lakers' side did not feel good, and the Lakers didn't get many chances from the beginning to the end.

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Lakers 112-96 on the road.

Tang Tian only played three quarters and contributed 19 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists.

Davis also only played three quarters, but he contributed 25 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks on 10-of-17 shooting, which was also his best game since his comeback.

Dinwiddie also had his best game of the season.

He played 20 minutes and contributed 14 points, 3 boards, 3 assists and 2 steals on 6-of-9 shooting, even better than Kerr, who started tonight.

The core has found its touch, and there are surprises on the bench, which is definitely good news for the Pelicans, who are not in a good situation.

After the game, fans also talked about it on social media.

"Why do I think the Pelicans have the ability to turn trash into treasure? Evans, Whiteside, these are all things that no one wants, but when it comes to the Pelicans, one is better than the other; Jokic, Dinwiddie, these are all the remaining rookies picked by other teams, but they are all treasures?! ”

"I also wonder, you said that Williams is still a young coach and not very well-known, and you say that I still believe that I was dug by Popovich."

"So this is unexplained metaphysics, just like the veterinarians of the Trail Blazers, the top pick of the Cavaliers, and the draft vision of the detonators!"

"I think it's different, have you noticed that these people all went with Don after he arrived at the Pelicans, didn't the media expose Don's interference with management before?"

"It seems that yes, when Don entered the Pelicans' draft office, he was hacked by many people and was LeBron's second."

"So all of this is actually related to Tang?!"

"It should be like this, how can there be so many metaphysics in this world, veterinarians are medical level, champion signing is the league appoint, detonators are scouts doing a good job, these are all explainable."

"Didn't there be news breaking last offseason that Ariza was also suggested by Don to sign?"

"Real hammer Tang Tian interferes with the management of the team! ╭(′▽`)╭(′▽`)╯”

"! Hearing you say that, I can understand it all at once, Don is not James second, he just does himself! As a Pelicans fan, I really wish he was a little more involved in management now! ”

"Don can be the general manager, but it's not necessary."

……

Winning the Lakers is important for the Pelicans, but winning or losing a game doesn't mean anything.

For Davis and the Pelicans, the next game is even more critical.

Once they don't play well, they will be greeted with saliva.

After the game against the Lakers, the Pelicans returned home.

After the previous wave of devilish fixtures, they will have a sweet time.

For the next week, their matches will be played at home.

Two days later, they faced their first challenge against the Raptors.

After the Raptors sent away Gay last season, they are now a duo of Lowry and DeRozan.

They set a new all-time record last season with 48 wins, and this season they have also seen a steady uptick.

They are now fourth in the East behind the Hawks, Cavaliers and Bulls.

It was a tough matchup, but the course of the game was unexpected.

Although Holiday continued to be sidelined, the Pelicans pressed the Raptors from the start.

By the end of the third quarter, the Pelicans had led the Raptors by more than 20 points, and the game was out of suspense.

In the end, the Pelicans won 98-78 and won a wave of two straight victories.

Tang Tian had 20 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Whiteside had 14 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks, and Kerr had 6 points and 6 assists.

Davis continued to play efficiently, contributing 23 points, 9 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 steals on 9-of-15 shooting.

After two days of rest, the Pelicans have a wave of back-to-back games where they will play the Wizards and the Mavericks one after another.

The Wizards couldn't keep Ariza in the offseason, but they turned around and signed veteran Pierce.

His arrival makes up for what the Wizards lack the most important ball ability, and the Wizards are now fifth in the East and have great hopes of making it to the top half.

The game was also quite intense, and Tang Tian's consecutive scores in the first and third quarters once allowed the Pelicans to take a double-digit lead.

But Pierce also stepped up twice to win key shots at critical moments to help the Wizards catch up with the score.

The two teams played until the minute before the end.

Tang Tian assisted Davis to hit a mid-range shot at the last moment, and then steal Pierce's fast break, which allowed the Pelicans to get through the danger.

Tang Tian scored a game-high 30 points, 7 boards, 5 assists and 2 steals, and Davis contributed 17 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks on 7-of-12 shooting.

Dinwiddie also had another brilliant performance, contributing 10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists on 4-of-7 shooting.

"We knew he was going to come back."

At the press conference after the game, Williams also smiled, and after blowing Tang Tian, he was also full of praise for Davis's performance.

He definitely has a reason to say so.

Since playing the Lakers, he has scored 20 in three consecutive games, and his shooting rate is as high as 59%, and has helped the team win three in a row.

If the game against the Lakers may have been a game, then by now, it is indeed possible to do as Williams said, Davis has returned.
