On January 7, Beijing time, the Warriors played against the Pelicans, and the Warriors trailed the Pelicans 46-47 at the end of the half. Because the game is back-to-back, Curry (quadriceps injury), Draymond Green (left hip injury) and Toscano Anderson (left ankle injury) will miss this game. So the Warriors are still a bit passive in missing so many players, but given that the Warriors are playing against weak teams like the Pelicans, the Warriors still have a lot of chances to win. In the first quarter, the Warriors were not in a good offensive state at the beginning, but the Pelicans did not have much offensive status on the side, and the Warriors slowly found their offensive status, and at the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led by 6 points.
In the second quarter, Cumminga scored 1 of 2 free throws, after which the two teams were in a slump in offensive form, Cumminga scored a layup, Cumminga scored after a timeout, then Walker scored a layup, Damien Lee scored on a board, Hart scored on a layup, then Hart scored 2 of 2 free throws, Moody scored on the board, Moody scored 2 of 2 free throws, Temple scored on a layup, back Tony dunked a score, Walker scored on a layup, followed by Abelica layup also scored, Ingram scored 2+1, Clarke freed a 2-of-1 free throw, and Damien Lee hit a three-pointer. Then Ingram scored four consecutive points, then Wiggins threw a shot, turned back to Ingram to complete the dunk, Wiggins scored on the layup, and the next game the two teams attacked the iron, Clark hit a three-pointer at the critical moment, and the Pelicans trailed by 5 points. After the timeout, the Warriors' offense was sluggish, Ingram led the team to rebound the score, then Wiggins scored to stop the bleeding, Valanciunas threw a shot, and the Warriors trailed by one point at the end of the half.
It should be said that the Pelicans missed the opportunity in the first half of the game, after all, the Warriors' offensive state in the first quarter of the game was very sluggish, this time should have been the time for the Pelicans to expand the lead, but the Pelicans did not seize such an opportunity, because at this time the Pelicans' offensive state was also very sluggish, and the Warriors found the state to slowly occupy the lead, although the Warriors were missing Curry and Green, but the Pelicans were still weaker than the Warriors in hard power, so when the Warriors gave the Pelicans a chance, It's a shame that the Pelicans themselves didn't grasp it, but they found their form in the second quarter, so they still have the lead, but if they find their form early, then the Pelicans will have more of a lead.
However, in the second quarter of the game Ingram is to find some offensive state, this time relying on Ingram's play Pelicans or close to the score, which is a very critical thing for the Pelicans, after all, the current Pelicans are short of soldiers, so Ingram as the core of the team is to stand up in the game to help the team, and in the second quarter of the game Ingram is to do such a thing, relying on Ingram's strength to turn the tide Pelicans in the second quarter of the game successfully completed the rebound, At the end of the half, Ingram had 19 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Of course, if the Pelicans want to win, they still need other Pelican players to stand up and help Ingram.
As for the Warriors, Wiggins became the team's offensive leader without Curry, but Wiggins was average offensive in this game, but his confrontation with Ingram in the second quarter was also very happy, and Wiggins had 13 points and 1 rebound on 5-of-10 at the end of the half. In the first half of the game, the Warriors' benches were meritorious, after all, in the first half of the game, Damien Lee and Bjelica were in good shape, they also helped the team to take the lead, at the end of the half, Damien Lee got 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and Bjelica got 7 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist.
