Zion scored 28 points, hit 20 points, and the most loss-making deal of the season?
On March 29th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and today the Pelicans sat at home to welcome the challenge of the Bucks, after Ingram's injury, I thought the Pelicans would be affected, but they still played very well, and the Bucks' recent form is very poor, they lost to the Lakers before, the team urgently needs a win to stop the decline, and then we will briefly talk about the game process, and then talk about the players' play.
Contest Recap:
At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Zion and Brother Alphabet exchanged inside kills, and the two teams played a 4-4 start, Beasley hit two three-pointers in a row to help the Bucks establish the lead, but then with the help of Murphy and other blue-collar workers, the Pelicans overtook by one point in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Varan and CJ stepped up, and the two scored in quick succession to help the Pelicans extend their lead, and they won the Bucks by 15 points in a single quarter, and the team had a 14-point lead at halftime, and CJ scored 11 points in a single quarter.
Yibian fought again, Brother Alphabet obviously didn't want to surrender the gun like this, he turned on the individual mode, and the Alphabet continued to kill inside to help the team chase only 3 points at one point, but Nance Jr. and Murphy scored successively to help the Pelicans re-establish a 10-point lead to end the third quarter, and Alphabet scored 20 points in a single quarter. Yibian finally found his groove against Lillard, and under his leadership, the team narrowed the gap to only five points, but the Pelicans relied on stable free throws at key moments to win 105-100.
Zion is stable, and the Pelicans are too strong defensively
After chatting about the game process, let's talk about the players' play, Zion is the biggest contributor to the Pelicans' victory, he shot 9 of 15 from the field, scored 28 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, although Brother Alphabet's talent is very good, but Zion is not bad, he just sacrificed data for the team before, after Ingram's injury, Zion also stood up very well on the offensive end, which is why the Pelicans were able to stabilize the top five in the division.
Zion not only played well enough on the offensive end, his defense was also very good, leading by example on the defensive end to defend the letters, although he couldn't be restricted, but his fighting spirit also ignited other teammates, Jones and Murphy made good contributions on the defensive end, Murphy got 15 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals on 4-of-13 shooting, Jones reached 11 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks on 3-of-9 shooting, super 3D.
CJ, who was soft in the previous tough battle, although this campaign was still very inefficient, but he did what he should do, 9 of 24 shots in the game, 3 of 9 three-pointers got 25 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, Varan also punished the opponent's interior line very well, Da Luo is really old, he really can't prevent Varan, this game Varan got 17 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block on 7 of 13 shots, and Nance Jr. got 9 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists off the bench.
The win also narrowed the gap between them and the Clippers, fourth in the West, to half a game, and the team had a chance to finish in the top four of the division by the end of the season.
Lillard lost the trade
In this campaign, the Bucks tried his best, he shot 15 of 22 in the game, 0 of 2 three-pointers got 35 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists, friends who often watch the Bucks games recently should be able to find their current problems, the team is too dependent on Brother Alphabet at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, the Bucks formed a heroic formation, and now it has become a hard support for Brother Alphabet, in the first three quarters, the alphabet is full of physical energy, this fourth quarter physical fitness is not good, the team finally lost, and the last game against the Lakers The scene is almost the same.
Speaking of this, I have to mention Lillard, in the offseason, the letter forced the palace team to form a championship team, so the Bucks introduced Lillard, and now this deal may be the most loss-making this season, the Bucks not only did not strengthen but made up for the weakness, when Holiday was there, the Bucks' offense and defense were very strong, and now the team's offense is unstable, not to mention, the defensive end is also leaking people everywhere, and there is no championship team at all.
Lillard shot 8 of 16 from the field, 3 of 6 from three-point range with 20 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, and scored 10 points and 2 assists in the final quarter.
The two can be said to be very struggling, there is no tacit understanding at all, in order to get him, the Bucks sent Holiday , Grayson Allen, 3 first-round picks, as far as this is concerned, this may be the most loss-making deal this season, Holiday is still the league's top gate, and also joined the Green Army, which is considered a rival, Grayson Allen is the pitcher with the highest three-point shooting percentage this season, and the projection efficiency is very good.
If this season fails, I don't know what the Bucks will do, can they continue to break up their big team? Speaking of which, what do you want to say about this game? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
