In the Pelicans home game against the Spurs, everyone thought that the Pelicans would have the advantage, but they were suppressed by the opponent in the whole game, although the last quarter had a tendency to chase points, but there was too much behind in front, and finally they had no choice but to lose the game, and after losing this game, it also made it more difficult for them to compete for places in the play-offs!
In fact, the Pelicans' new dual-core state is still good in this game, Ingram played 35 minutes, shot 9 of 19 from the field, and got 22 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists! And new signing McCollum played 36 minutes, shooting 15 of 24 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, got 36 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists, 11 rebounds and 11 rebounds also equaled his career regular season single-game rebounding record, the state is perfect!
In the case of a double-core slash of 58 points, they still have no way to win, or even the whole game is suppressed by the opponent, which is indeed something that many people have not thought of. They are currently in eleventh place in the West, with only half a win between the tenth-placed Blazers and a half-win lead with the twelfth-place Spurs, and if they can't find their form in time, they are likely to not be able to enter the playoffs this season!
For the Pelicans, after the trade, everyone had great expectations for them, hoping that they would be able to play well under the leadership of these two stars. And after Zion's return, it will be a very good team in the West. But from the current state, although McCollum and Ingram are in good shape, it is still very difficult to get good results and occupy a place in the West!
