Doncic beats Pelicans 30+9! 20 shots and 35 points, Owen is not a demon, and the Mavericks' 120 million signing is too valuable
On November 13th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and today the Pelicans sat at home to usher in the challenge of the Mavericks, before this game the Pelicans recently suffered four consecutive defeats, and they also fell to the tenth in the West in one breath, and the poor record in the absence of multiple core rotations is understandable, and they are facing the Mavericks, who have ranked second in the West since the beginning of the season, and the Pelicans are not favored to win. Next, let's briefly talk about the game process, and then talk about the players' performance.
Contest Recap:
At the beginning of the first quarter, Lively and Irving played a 5-0 start, the Pelicans relied on Zion's kill to score 3 points to stop the bleeding, Irving Doncic combined for 4 points, Varland hit a three-point response, the two sides played very close in the first half of the first quarter, but at the end of the quarter, the Mavericks relied on the play of the bench to lead by 7 points to end the first quarter. In the second quarter, Exum teamed up with Hardy to extend the lead to double digits, and although Zion stepped up to score for his team, Doncic and Irving responded well, and the Pelicans trailed by 13 points at halftime.
Yibian replayed Valan and Ingram scored one after another, they wanted to catch up with the difference, but Doncic and Hardaway Jr. always responded well when the difference was approaching, relying on Doncic's performance at the end of the quarter, the Mavericks led by 24 points in the third quarter, and Doncic scored 15 points in this quarter. Seeing that the game lost its suspense, the Pelicans also chose to withdraw their troops, facing the morale of the Mavericks, and there was no need to make senseless resistance, and in the end they lost to the Mavericks 124-136.
The Pelicans scored 7 double-doubles, but the opponent's double-core was too fierce
In this game, the Pelicans scored 7 people in double figures, and now because the Pelicans have too many injuries, the opponent also dares to unscrupulously target Ingram and Zion, so that they are limited on the offensive end, but fortunately, Zion and Ingram have good organizational skills, and they also passed to teammates in a better position when facing the pinch, Ingram shot 9 of 17 in this game, and 1 of 3 three-pointers scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
Zion shot 7 of 11 from the field, scored 18 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, and under the tandem of the two, Hawkins scored 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, Varland got 15 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, Daniels got 17 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, Matt Ryan scored 14 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, Earl got 14 points and 6 rebounds, Ryan relied on his excellent play in the past period, and now he has become the Pelicans' first scorer off the bench.
For Ryan, many Lakers fans must have an impression that he played for the Lakers for a period of time last season, and he also hit a game-winning game, and he used to work as a delivery boy, and it is very inspiring to be able to reach his current heights and prove himself on the NBA stage. The Pelicans are not fully fit, and when Jones, Murphy, Alvarado and CJ return, they will be even stronger, and as long as Zion stays healthy, they still have a chance to make the playoffs.
The dual-core firepower is strong, and Owen is no longer a demon
In the case of the opponent's 6 scoring doubles, the Mavericks were able to defeat the opponent so easily, thanks to their double-core play, Doncic shot 11 of 18 from the field, 3 of 5 three-pointers scored 30 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 steal, Doncic was also very happy after the win, he said in an interview after the game: "We played very unselfishly, and compared to this time last year, now it's more fun." ”
It's really more fun, they are now 8-2 and the same record as the No. 1 Nuggets in the West, and Irving is even more brilliant in this game, he shot 13 of 20 from the field, 7 of 10 three-pointers got 35 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 block, Irving's state was not good at the beginning of the season, but as the season deepened, Irving recently regained his touch, and he scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals in the previous game against the Clippers.
In the offseason, many fans were worried about the Mavericks' renewal of Irving, because in the past few years, Irving has frequently had locker room conflicts, and fans and the media are also afraid that Irving will not listen to the team's orders after a long-term contract extension, resulting in the breakdown of the locker room, and Irving proved himself after the contract renewal, and now Irving is more mature and knows how to sacrifice, he is the second leader next to Doncic without complaints, doing dirty work.
And he can also stand up and score when the team needs it, so far this season, Irving has averaged 23 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game, shooting 46% from the field and 40% from three-point range.
11 points and 21 points in the final quarter against the Magic, 22 points and 10 points in the final quarter against the Spurs, 17 points in the game against the Nets, 6 points and 4 assists in the final quarter, which is very good. In the offseason, Irving only asked the team for a 3-year 126 million contract, which is not a super cap salary, and for now, Irving is definitely worth the price for money to win this contract.
