In the fierce competition in the NBA playoffs G2, the Thunder and the Pelicans launched a key matchup.
This game not only witnessed the strong performance of the Thunder, but also allowed fans to witness a wonderful matchup.
The Pelicans were originally the New Orleans Hornets, and the original Charlotte Hornets moved to New Orleans for the 2002-03 season, beginning the team's history in New Orleans.
Since the growth of players such as Chris Paul (selected with the fourth pick in the first round in 2005) and David West, the team has become a powerhouse in the Western Conference, but it has never broken through in the playoffs, and as other teams have strengthened and risen, they have gradually fallen behind.
In January 2013, the New Orleans Hornets officially announced that the team had changed its name to the Pelicans.
In the 2014-15 season, the team reached the playoffs again after finishing eighth in the Western Conference.
"The name Pelicans sounds a little novel. ”
One fan was curious when he heard that the team had changed its name to the Pelicans.
"yes, but I think the name is quite distinctive. ”
Another fan agreed.
The change from the Hornets to the Pelicans was a bit abrupt, but it also brought a new vibe to the team.
Under the new name, the team has more opportunities to show its quality.
"The history of the Pelicans is really rich, from the Hornets to the Pelicans today, and the team has seen the team grow. ”
A basketball fan said affectionately.
"Yes, they haven't been able to make much of a breakthrough in the playoffs, but they've shown tenacity and hard work. Another fan also paid his respects.
In the 2014-15 season, the Pelicans reached the playoffs again as eighth in the Western Conference, which was also a milestone for the team.
Although they were unable to break through further, this time the performance also made the fans applaud them.
"Although the Pelicans have not achieved satisfactory results, their hard work and fighting spirit are worthy of our admiration. ”
A fan commented on social media.
"Yes, I hope they can do better in the future!" said another fan.
Back to the point.
The game began on April 25, Beijing time, and the Thunder hosted the Pelicans.
In the previous game, the Pelicans had shown excellent performance, surprisingly playing the Thunder until the last minute.
The situation in this game was very different.
At the beginning of the game, the Thunder team was like igniting a powder keg, and the offensive momentum was fierce.
Every time they attack, it seems to be carefully choreographed, whether it is a fast break or a half-court attack, they seem to be at ease.
Soon, the atmosphere on the field was ignited by their offensive heat, and the fans couldn't help but chant their names.
"The Thunder are so sharp! they're just offensive machines!" one fan said excitedly to his friend.
"That's right! Look at them, putting the ball in the basket again and again, and the Pelicans can't parry!" another fan responded excitedly.
On the court, the Thunder players are also full of confidence, and every time they attack, they seem to announce to the opponent: "We just want to win!"
"Alexander is on full fire today!" commented on social media.
"Yes, he feels so good, it's like a rocket!" another netizen immediately replied.
As the first quarter of the game progressed, the Thunder stretched the margin to 13 points, and the situation on the court was completely in their hands.
The Pelicans, on the other hand, were a little helpless, and despite their efforts to defend, they were unable to stop the Thunder's onslaught.
"The Pelicans are really uncomfortable in this game, they are completely suppressed!" said one fan with emotion.
"yes, it looks like they're going to have a hard time making a difference in this game. ”
Another fan also expressed sympathy.
On the court, the Pelicans also looked a little anxious, trying to find a breakthrough, but they were always repelled by the Thunder's defense.
This scene also made netizens sigh, thinking that the Pelicans' situation in this game was indeed very difficult.
"It looks like the Pelicans really ran into an iron plate today. ”
A netizen commented.
"yes, the Thunder's performance is amazing, and the Pelicans are simply nowhere to go. ”
Another netizen also expressed the same feelings.
As the game progressed, the Thunder continued to be on a hot track, while the Pelicans fell into an increasingly passive situation.
This scene made everyone realize that this game was completely in the hands of the Thunder.
In contrast, the Pelicans failed to continue their excellent performance in the previous game in this game, and they were completely suppressed and unable to effectively fight back against the Thunder's onslaught.
Even with key players such as Ingram, Jones, McCollum and Valanciunas on the offensive end, they were unable to limit their opponents' offensive momentum on the defensive end, resulting in a heavy defeat.
"The Pelicans' defense was so bad today!" one fan couldn't help but complain as he watched the game.
"yes, their defense was completely disrupted by the Thunder's offense, and they had no power to fight back. ”
Another fan also expressed displeasure.
In the course of the game, the Pelicans' defense was really unbearable, and they often made mistakes and allowed opponents to score easily.
"Look at the Thunder, they've been so smooth every time they've attacked, they've not been hindered by the Pelicans at all. ”
A netizen commented on social media.
"yes, the Pelicans' defense is just a show-up, it doesn't work at all. ”
Another netizen also agreed.
On the court, the Pelicans were also extremely anxious, trying to find a breakthrough on the defensive end, but they were always overwhelmed by the Thunder's offense.
"The Pelicans' performance today was truly disappointing!" said one fan, who couldn't help but express his dissatisfaction with the team.
"yes, they've made a lot of mistakes on the offensive end, but they've made too many low-level mistakes on the defensive end. ”
Another fan also lamented.
As the game progressed, the Pelicans' situation became more and more passive, and they were never able to effectively limit the opponent's offense, which ultimately led to a heavy defeat.
This scene also made everyone's hearts ache and disappointment, and I hope the Pelicans can bounce back in the next games.
The Thunder, on the other hand, did the exact opposite, with their new Big Three playing well and being the key to the team's victory.
Alexander scored 33 points and contributed an indispensable score to the team's 33 points, while Holmgren and Jalen Williams also contributed 26 and 21 points respectively to the team's victory.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Pelicans with a score of 124-92 to expand the overall score to 2-0, showing the strength of the first place in the West.
This victory not only made the Thunder fans cheer, but also injected more confidence and motivation into the upcoming games.
Overall, this game not only showed the strong strength of the Thunder team, but also let us see the intensity and excitement of the NBA playoffs.
Looking forward to the next matches and see how both sides will perform and who will have the last laugh in the end!
