In today's NBA league, more and more international players have become the core of the team, the Bucks, who won the championship last season, are inseparable from the huge contribution of the Greek monster alphabet brother at both ends of the attack and defense, and the Western team Lone Ranger also regards the European genius teenager Doncic as the cornerstone and absolute leader of the team, in order to be able to build a set of lineups around Doncic that is enough to impact the championship, the Lone Ranger sent away Porzingis, who has proved embarrassing before the trade deadline of this season. This deal to some extent announced the team's strategic abandonment of the season, but also let Doncic completely into the lone hero mode, in this regular season game with the Pelicans, Doncic is on his own, leading the Lone Ranger to the end, Pelicans new signing CJ McCollum, although personally good, but his play came too late, the last quarter only played a role in narrowing the point difference, did not change the team's 118-125 loss!
The Pelicans, who selected Fat Tiger Zion Williams at the draft that year, were also once regarded as one of the most promising teams in the league, but this season Zion Williams has not played any game for the team due to injury, which is also the reason why the team is in the bottom of the Western Conference standings, in order to get the team out of the trough, the team management traded the Blazers' second-in-command McCollum in the middle of the season, hoping to form Zion Williams. Ingram and McCollum's core lineup of the Big Three led the team to a good performance.
In this game against the Lone Ranger, Ingram was in a slump, shooting only 6 goals in 21 shots, only 12 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, which was the main reason why the Pelicans fell behind by as many as 24 points at one point in the game, in contrast, McCollum performed even better, cutting 37 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals on 7-of-10 shooting from outside the three-point line, especially in the final quarter, when a person soared 18 points, giving the team hope of reversing the victory.
The Lone Ranger traded Porzingis back to Dinwiddie and Bertans, and was not recognized by the fans, in this game, the duo only hit 4 goals in 12 shots, only 11 points in total, also proved the correctness of the fans' vision, in the case of the poor performance of the two new signings, Doncic entered the mode of lone hero, in the 38 minutes of its appearance, facing the Pelicans' crazy pressure defense, 35 shots hit 17 goals, including 7 of 14 shots from outside the three-point line, One man blasted down a quasi-triple-double of 49 points, 15 rebounds, eight assists and one block, while Brunson and Kleber became musketeers on the side of European genius, both hitting three three-pointers and cutting 23 and 20 points respectively, helping the team to win the game without any surprise.
Judging from Doncic's performance in the NBA League, he will have the strength to impact the first person in the league in the future, in such a situation, the Lone Ranger only needs to build a competitive lineup around him, with Doncic's ability, there is a very high probability of leading the team to the top of the league, looking forward to the end of the season, the Lone Ranger in the transfer market big deal!
