NBA preseason a focus battle today between the Pelicans and the Heat. As the Eastern Conference champion and runner-up in the finals last season, the Heat are still very strong. However, their 4 old guns Butler + Iguodala + Olynik + Dragic did not play this game, which also gave the young Pelicans a chance to perform. Ingram and Zion Williamson have been suppressed for too long, they need to break out.
Sure enough, after four quarters of fierce battle, the Pelicans beat the Heat 114 to 92 away. In the four quarters of the game, the Pelicans scored more points than the Heat in each quarter, and the Heat couldn't resist. In the end, all of the four young Pelicans played well. The No. 1 pick Williamson had 26 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists. The second pick Ingram had 22 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. The second pick Bauer had 12 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. Josh Hart scored 11 points in the first game. 4 rebounds and 1 assist. Thanks Lao Zhan, thanks for the transaction! The 4 players scored 71 points + 25 rebounds + 15 assists. This team is going to be super rising, and no one can stop it!
Why do you want to thank Lao Zhan? Everyone may still remember that in his first year with the Lakers, Lao Zhan took the Pelicans to start the game with the three major games. Back then, Ingram, Ball and Hart were still rookies, and their ability to control the game was very poor. In addition, coach Walton was just a master of meditation, and the Lakers were almost numb when losing. Both Ingram and Ball are suspected of being the second place in the parallel rankings. Fans even ridicule that Ingram is the talent and potential that needs to be seen with a magnifying glass, and Ball can not play the ball without the Lakers.
But at this time, Lao Zhan appeared and led these three talented young people to start fighting. At that time, Kuzma was also fighting together. They hit fourth in the Western Conference and saw the dawn of the playoffs. But then Lao Zhan strained his groin and everything was in vain. Without Lao Zhan's organization and connection, the Lakers were still the original Lakers, and the loss was a mess. Then came the rumors that the Lakers wanted to trade 4 Min Stud for thick eyebrows. The young people did not withstand the pressure. Except for Ingram, the others collapsed a bit. The worse they played, the worse they did not make the playoffs. However, they will not forget that even though they only cooperated for one season, Lao Zhan has taught them a lot and benefited them throughout their lives.
In addition to thanking Lao Zhan, they must also thank the transaction. The Lakers eventually traded their 3 players + draft picks for thick eyebrow brother , and won the championship. But for the three of them, they are also lucky. After all, they have also achieved success in the Pelicans and have a place to be used. Ingram entered the All-Star after the trade and signed a 5-year maximum salary contract this season. Brother Qiu and Hart are also in the main rotation, and will certainly get a good contract. Now they have the No. 1 pick Williamson again, and the future is limitless.
Williamson is an energetic and confident young man. He was under great pressure when he first joined the league. People feel that with his size, if he doesn't lose weight, his knees and ankles will not be able to stand, and he will retire early. But Williamson didn't think so. He was still eloquent before the game, saying that he was troubled by injuries last season and his performance was not amazing enough. This season, let everyone see his true strength. That's what Williamson said and did the same. His highest score in this game is the best proof. And teammate Ingram also revealed that before the start of each training day, Williamson will come to the arena in advance to practice with assistant coach Fred Vinson.
See how the Warriors rise, and a few young people work hard together. Look at the current Pelicans, is it very similar to the Warriors before the rise? Williamson’s cheap contract has just begun. With the addition of All-Star Ingram, the second best player who does not occupy the ball, and the courageous role puzzle Hart, the future is really boundless. As fans, we can only sigh: thank Lao Zhan, thank you for the transaction! This is going to be super rising, no one can stop it!
