Beijing time on December 16, today, the NBA West ushered in a game that was not very closely watched, and in the end, Graham completed a super long three-point shootout away from home to help the Pelicans win the Thunder 113-110. In fact, the outcome of this game is not very important to the ranking of the two teams, after winning this game, the Pelicans' record of 9 wins and 21 losses, ranking second to the bottom in the West, while the Thunder suffered three consecutive losses, with a record of 8 wins and 19 losses, ranking first in the west, and the contest between the two teams can be said to be rookies pecking at each other.
The two pelicans who performed best in this game were Ingram and Varan, the former playing 37 minutes and 24 seconds, 11 of 21 of 21, 11 of 15 from the free throw line, 34 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, the latter 8 of 10, and the big double-double of 19 points and 16 rebounds. In addition, Hart was 3 of 7, contributing 11 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists; Graham's hand in this game was not too good, but his three-point shooting was 5 of 10, and the final ultra-far three points directly helped the team win the game, Graham played 33 minutes and 24 seconds, 5 of 14, and sent 15 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists, plus or minus +24 game-high.
For the Pelicans, Alexander was 10-of-25 and had 33 points and five rebounds; Kiddy had a full stat of 17 points, nine rebounds and seven assists; Williams had 17 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals; and Muscala had 16 points and five rebounds. After Graham hit a three-pointer, he was also very excited, running around the court, and his teammates surrounded him after the game to celebrate. After this kill, Graham also had the capital to brag, and in an interview with the media after the game, Graham said that he had practiced this ball thousands of times, and it was just a common thing for him.
He said: "Don't be surprised, I've practiced this ball a thousand times in the arena, for me, it's just a common thing, if you pay attention to me, you won't be surprised." Graham said winning makes him happy, but their goal is much more than this victory, he still wants the team to make it to the playoffs, Zion's absence has taken a big hit, but no one will be discouraged, the kill is just the beginning, he believes it will bring a boost in confidence to the team.
Zion hasn't played a game so far this season, his return is far away, Ingram's single-core team is not doing well, and the Pelicans' attention this season is also sharply reduced. In addition, Graham is not a very conspicuous player, and many fans do not often pay attention to his performance, but I believe that after this game, Graham will attract the attention of many fans, and his super far three points may even lock up the best goal of the season.
