NBA’s aging star system

Chapter 372: First loss of the season, thick eyebrows in first game against Pelicans (page 12)

Walton can completely accept the Lakers' lineup losing, but they must learn from the loss.

In the third quarter, Morant continued to attack the basket. Cousins ​​tried to block several times but failed, and even got fouled by Morant.

However, Cousins's mood had stabilized at this time and he did not make too many drastic moves.

In the end, the Lakers still failed to make a comeback in the fourth quarter and lost 101-116, successfully gaining their first defeat of the season.

Morant scored 28 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds and was named the best of the game.

When being interviewed by reporters after the game, you can clearly see the proud look on Morant's face.

Although they only defeated the Lakers' third team, it was still the Lakers. Morant thought he was strong enough.

"There is nothing unbeatable about the Lakers. Yes, this is my life creed. Nothing is unbeatable!"

"I think I'm going to lead the Grizzlies to higher ground, and that won't be a problem."

"I'm not arrogant, I'm just stating a fact. The Lakers will not be my opponent in the future, because the Lakers have been established and I am still growing."

"I admit that Su is very strong now and I am not his opponent yet, but when I grow up in the future, he will definitely not be my opponent."

As for the Lakers, because there is no main scoring point, everyone's scoring is relatively scattered.

The one with the best statistics was Nunn, who scored 21 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds.

The Lakers' record reached 15 wins and 1 loss, but the Lakers did not stay too much because they had to rush to San Antonio to play against the Spurs.

Counting the Thunder before and the Pelicans after, this was a difficult four-game away game. If Walton hadn't arranged to take a break, the physical exertion of the main players would have been astonishing.

On November 11, the Lakers came to the Spurs' home court.

This is the second meeting between the Lakers and Spurs this season. The Lakers won the previous meeting easily, not to mention that the Lakers' main players were fully rested in this game.

After the game started, the Lakers' advantage was very obvious. Whether it was inside or outside, the Lakers had an undisputed advantage.

And DeRozan and Aldridge, suppressed by Su Tian and Nongmei, were unable to produce any decent cooperation and offense.

最终,湖人124-104拿下比赛,苏天拿到33分14助攻10篮板的三双数据,浓眉拿到了20分12篮板5助攻,乔治也顺利20+。

The Big Three of the Lakers worked together to defeat the Spurs.

After the game against the Spurs, the Lakers once again rushed to New Orleans non-stop.

This is the first time Big Eyebrow has played against his old club this season, and it is also the first time he has returned to New Orleans. League officials attach great importance to this game and specially arranged a national live broadcast.

For Su Tian, ​​this game also has another mission, which is to award championship rings to his old teammates.

Wood, Nance, and Ingram, who came to the Pelicans because of the trade with thick eyebrows, now have different performances and statuses in the Pelicans.

There is no doubt that Ingram is a future star that the Pelicans management values ​​​​very much. He has received key training from the Pelicans team and will be used as the future core.

For the Pelicans, Wood and Nance have relatively ordinary immediate combat capabilities.

Nance still gets some attention because of his youth, but Wood is not so good.

After leaving the Lakers' system, without Su Tian's restraint on the offensive end and Su Tian's passing bonus, Wood's shooting percentage dropped significantly.

At the same time, because Wood's shortcomings on the defensive end are difficult to solve, Pelicans head coach Gentry is very annoying.

As a result, Wood has now become a marginalized figure in the Pelicans.

The reason why he has not been completely marginalized is because Wood's contract is not small, he had a strong performance in the finals, and the management still retains a trace of fantasy.

On November 11, the entire Lakers team came to the home court of the Pelicans.

The thick eyebrows looked at the strange yet familiar scene in front of them with a lot of emotion.

"How's it going Anthony, are you okay?" Su Tian stepped forward and patted Nongmei's back.

"Don't worry, Su. I think my condition should be extremely good."

"That's good."

Before the game officially started, Su Tian walked to the center of the field and awarded championship rings to his former teammates. The fans at the scene also applauded in celebration.

When Su Tian presented the ring, he also noticed that the expressions of the three people were different.

Ingram is confident, but also has some resentment in his eyes.

Nance frowned. Although he smiled reluctantly when he got the ring, he was always in a worried mood.

Wood, on his side, looked proud when he got the ring. After getting the ring and returning to the team, he kept his chest high.

The three of them were in different states, and Su Tian could understand.

Ingram had always been regarded by the Lakers as the future core of the team. Now that he was suddenly traded, he naturally felt unhappy.

As for Nance and Wood, they have different situations, different personalities, and naturally have different ideas.

After the rings were awarded, the competition between the two sides began.

The Lakers' starting lineup is normal, while the Pelicans' starting lineup has changed significantly.

Jrue Holiday, Hart, Ingram, Wood, Nance.

Among the starting five, 4 of them came from the previous Lakers team.

McGee took the lead in grabbing the ball. Brunson got the ball and came to the frontcourt, passing the ball directly to Su Tian.

Holiday's defensive strength is still very good. Walton also made special arrangements before the game, letting Su Tian be responsible for the team's main offense.

After Su Tian got the ball, he faced Hart's defense.

"Josh, long time no see."

Hart ignored Su Tian and focused on Su Tian's movements, fearing that he would miss any details.

Su Tian, ​​on the other hand, did not just say hello. As soon as he finished speaking, he burst out and completed the breakthrough from the right side.

Hart was already very focused, but Su Tian still caught a defensive flaw. Hart reacted and quickly turned around to pursue Su Tian.

Su Tian easily came to the basket all the way. Nance wanted to step forward to help prevent interference, but Su Tian induced the ball with a European step, and the other side easily succeeded in a layup.

2-0

"Okay, it seems that the Lakers are still very stable. Su personally took the first ball." Barkley said.

"I just don't know when Davis will start to play," Kenny Smith said.

"Don't worry, Kenny, Davis will definitely perform. After all, this is Davis's former home court, and don't forget the tacit cooperation between Su and Davis."

At this time, the ball possession on the court changed and the Pelicans attacked.

Holiday came to the frontcourt with the ball. Before Holiday could make a move, Wood came to the three-point line very actively and waved for the ball.

Holiday originally didn't want to pass the ball to Wood, but after thinking about what the coach said to him before, he still passed the ball.

Wood seemed very excited after getting the ball. After a rough triple threat, he didn't wave his thick eyebrows, so he changed direction and tried to break through to the basket.
