Defeat is still defeat! Is the Pelicans' future really bright? Still need some conditions

It had been two days since the whistle of that defeat, and the Pelicans seemed to have completely disengaged from the loser's posture. Of course, this is exactly what they deserve.

Tenacity is a word that can convince everyone, and they have tenacity, from this moment on. The Pelicans are already winners.

After the return, the team members were warmly greeted by all the staff of the Pelicans.

In the applause, the bright sunlight outside the door dispelled the shadow of failure, soft and comfortable. The players walked very slowly, as if they were slowly propelled by the light behind them.

They laughed and giggled, there was no more sword fighting, and there was no bloody killing. Are these gone? No, but by these young people to force the bottom of the heart. Inadvertently, you will hear from these people the trance of war thunder, and the unconcealed foolishness, and this is the bright future of the Pelicans.

However, these spelled out futures still need to be built. After all, they only won 36 wins.

Ingram's strength

Ingram's personal strength is an absolute factor in the Pelican's fate.

This season should be the most successful and special year for the Pelicans in recent years. The opening 1 win and 12 losses seem to have become a capital for the Pelicans to show off.

However, failure is failure. Ingram can certainly hold his head high in the playoffs, but he's still the one who left. People clearly remember the reluctance and determination that Ingram burst out when he walked into the players' tunnel. His every step was an angry roar into the future.

In this series, Ingram's performance is worthy of recognition. However, it is not so perfect.

First and foremost, it was his physical strength. Throughout the series, Ingram's slow exhaustion of physical strength was visible to the naked eye. We can even conclude that Ingram's physical strength contributed to the Pelicans' failure on the G5G6 to a large extent. This is the real ceiling of Ingram. It is conceivable that the absolute core of a team cannot play high-intensity games continuously, so this team can stay away from the championship forever. So, if Ingram really wants to make a breakthrough in the playoffs, the physical problem has to be solved.

Of course, Ingram's technology is not without its problems. Left-right equalization, three-pointers, no ball, these are all items that need to be improved. At the same time, Ingram's singles rely too much on dribbling to find rhythm. These are all key factors restricting its growth. There is no way, Ingram's growth environment is too poor, and next year he will face the addition of fat tigers. He must practice his skills to the top in order to lead the current Pelicans to victory.

Since his debut, Ingram has been surrounded by rookies, and no veteran can bring the quality of the whole team up, and later has CJ, but he does not have much successful experience. Therefore, as the core of the team, Ingram must analyze and study on his own and make various words and deeds on the field.

This is the reason why the legendary Ingram growth period is long.

The tactical position of the Fat Tiger

Many people are predicting the Pelicans next season, thinking that the current Pelicans will return to the Fat Tiger and will soar. However, I personally believe that the Pelicans need several more conditions to take off. And all this is pressed on the fat tiger.

Everyone should not forget the amazing play of the fat tiger last season. The fat tiger on the offensive end is like a lightning bolt falling from the unpredictable sky, terrifying and deadly. The thunderous power seemed unstoppable. It's just that basketball is a game between attack and defense. In other words, the Fat Tiger's defense became the biggest obstacle to the team's progress.

Last season, many people saw the fat tiger's shortcomings on the defensive end, but they didn't take it seriously. Because they all think that fat tigers will improve their defensive ability as their game experience increases. In fact, it is not, the fat tiger's defense lies in attitude rather than ability. But any player who is flying on the offensive end will not have poor defensive strength, especially a talent like fat tigers. So, if the Pelicans want to get results in the new season, Fat Tiger's concentration on defense is the first condition.

On the other hand, holding the ball, fat tigers are talented but have insufficient height and arm span. Moving from the inside to the outside is the only way out of Fat Tiger's basketball career. Therefore, the Fat Tiger team positioned the Fat Tiger as the role of the ball-holding big core. It's the right choice, but it can't be rushed. The ball-holding nucleus must have ball holding and projection. However, fat tigers do not yet have the ability to hold the ball properly. That is to say, when there is no practice of holding the ball and shooting, letting the Fat Tiger hold the ball will instantly destroy the team, and it will also destroy the expectations that Ingram has built up for the Pelicans.

Fat Tiger must strictly grasp the order of his skill improvement, first defending, then shooting, and finally practicing holding the ball. Only in this way can the pelican and the fat tiger take off at the same time.

Team atmosphere

The Fat Tiger is back, and the fans are most concerned about the issue of the ownership of the ball. In fact, there is no need to worry about this. The ball will inadvertently tilt towards the more powerful people, which is all natural. But there is a point that the core players must divide some performance opportunities equally among the role players, so that everyone can integrate into the team's tactics, after all, others also need data and sign contracts.

Ingram does that very well, he likes to pass the ball and he likes to let his teammates perform. Teammates are more hopeful to follow him. No one wants to be a tool person who sacrifices for others on the field, and in the end, the data and honor are all other people's. This will ruin their basketball passion.

If next season, the Pelicans can maintain this year's atmosphere, the record guarantee is the Western Conference Top 8.

epilogue

Anyway, the Pelicans' season is over. Success and glory, failure and inadequacy, all integrated into the details of the game, slowly drifting away with time. Those offensive and defensive confrontations, those scrambles and sprints, bit by bit, no one will remember too much. Only the persistence and desire for basketball and the game has long been soaked in the prospect of next season and silently looking forward to it.
