On April 16, Beijing time, the last play-off game of the 2021-22 season began, and the Pelicans narrowly defeated the Clippers 105-101 on the road and advanced to the playoffs. The Clippers' crushing elimination means that both the Lakers and the Clippers, the Los Angeles teams, missed this year's playoffs. The Pelican officer, who likes to do things, once again put on a full job, and after the game, the social media profile was revised to: "There is no party in Los Angeles!" "I have to say that this trick is indeed a double male in Los Angeles!
On April 2, the Pelicans beat the Lakers 114-111, which is three times this season. The joy of killing the Lakers three times made the Pelicans official push on the introduction and made a crazy mockery of the Lakers. At that time, the Pelicans official pushed the change in the profile: "Tell ESPN that it's not just the Lakers who lost the game, but the Pelicans beat them!" This statement is domineering, as the Lakers' bitter lord this season, the Pelicans do have the capital to say such a thing.
The previous two victories over the Lakers, the Pelicans official Tui also changed the profile. In their first meeting, the Pelicans beat the Lakers by 28 points, when they changed the profile to "Beat the Lakers by 28 points in Los Angeles, looking forward to seeing you at the Smoothie King Center on Thursday!" In the second meeting, the Pelicans completed a 23-point comeback, writing "from trailing by 23 points to beating the Lakers!" ”
I have to say that the Pelican Officer Push is really good at doing things! This season's Pelicans are also legendary. At the beginning of the season, the Pelicans only started with 1 win and 12 losses, but eventually made it to the playoffs, becoming the fourth team in NBA history to still make the playoffs after losing more than 12 of the first 13 games of the season.
The first three were the Suns in 1996–97 (stopping the first round), the Cavaliers in the 1984–85 season (stopping the first round), and the Bulls in the 1967–68 season (stopping in the semifinals).
Now they will face new challenges, and they will be an incomparably daunting one. Their first-round opponent is the League's No. 1 Sun, does the Pelicans have a chance to upset? Let's wait and see.
