On May 1, Beijing time, today is Labor Day, and the playoffs are still underway, in which Nick Young said that if the Lakers keep Schroder instead of replacing Vincent, then they can win the series, McCollum revealed, I didn't play as well as I should when Zion was away. The feeling of being swept away is uncomfortable. Congratulations, Alexander, the second team in the NBA to be swept was officially born, Ingram, Kevin Durant, and Devin Booker were all out, missed the second round of the West, and could prepare for next season in advance.
According to the latest report from the Register, the New Orleans Pelicans, who lack Zion Williamson, did not play a better performance under the leadership of McCollum and Ingram, the two together scored a total of 20 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, the former played averagely, the latter was in a sluggish state, and was finally easily handled by the opponents Jalen Williams, Alexander, and Keady, and played not as well as the Los Angeles Lakers, at least standing and leaving. It is important to emphasize that due to four consecutive losses, the Pelicans became the second team to be swept out of the tournament and missed out on advancing to the second round, and congratulations to Alexander here.
It is worth mentioning that Alexander, who played for the Oklahoma City Thunder, played about 40 minutes against the New Orleans Pelicans, got 24 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, Jalen Williams played 37 minutes and got 24 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Holmgren played 35 minutes and got 14 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, and Keady played 29 minutes and got 14 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. On the other hand, playing for the New Orleans Pelicans, Ingram played 38 minutes, got 8 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, self-examined, and was willing to take responsibility for the loss.
You must know that in addition to the New Orleans Pelicans becoming the NBA league, the second team to be swept out of the tournament, there is a worse team than them, that is, the Phoenix Suns with Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal. Rudy Gobert quasi-Big Three, directly and easily exploded, somewhat embarrassed, and even the offseason reinforcements were in trouble, there was no salary space, and the introduction of better superstar players could only be like Pelinka, picking up what others didn't want.
Now, with the New Orleans Pelicans suddenly forgetting how to play after the absence of Zion Williamson, the fourth game against the Thunder, or losing the key life-and-death battle, becoming the second team in the league to be swept out, obviously, this time Ingram must take responsibility, his form is sluggish, no wonder the Lakers sent him away that year. It should be noted that congratulations to Alexander here, and Zion Williamson and Kevin Durant are both out, which means one thing, that is, they will not be able to advance to the second round of the West, for them, someone is ready to prepare for next season, and someone can join forces with Curry to win the gold medal for the US men's basketball team.
