The NBA is a business, and it's often brutal. Many teams will be ruthlessly traded in order to win the championship or improve their strength. While everyone accepts that this is an inherent rule of the league, players always seem unusually excited when they face the old masters.
Ingram is part of Anthony Davis' deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, which also involves Lonzo Ball and Josh Hart. To make matters worse, the Lakers won the championship immediately after the trade, while Ingram and the Pelicans didn't even make the playoffs. Now that the Pelicans have overtaken the Lakers in the standings, Ingram wants Los Angeles fans to remember it.
In today's Pelicans win over the Lakers, Ingram had 29 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, and he and CJ McCollum beat Anthony Davis and LeBron James. It was their third victory over the Purple and Golds this season, meaning they swept Le James and his team in the regular season.
According to U.S. media reports, after James conceded the last goal, Ingram shouted the word "sweep" when he left the court. After the game, Yingge said of the final reversal of the Lakers: "We kept calm enough and played a great execution. We were very focused on the defensive end and showed more confidence. ”
