The NBA's new regular season continued, with the New Orleans Pelicans winning their first win of the season. While Towns had 32 points and 14 rebounds, Ingram had 27 points and nine rebounds, and Valanciunas had 22 points and 23 rebounds as they led the team to a firm lead after establishing a double-digit advantage in the first half, with the Pelicans beating the Minnesota Timberwolves 107-98 on the road.
The Pelicans feel like they hate iron and steel, and of course, the Timberwolves are the same, full of talent but unable to play results, especially in the third quarter, the fourth quarter is a sudden power outage. The two sides met again, but also attracted a lot of attention, almost did not give the opponent too many opportunities like the last game, controlled their mistakes, while grasping a lot of key shots, while returning to the home of the Timberwolves, in the shooting feel became very bad, half of the game fell behind by a large score, at most 21 points behind.
Zion has not made a comeback this season, he weighs heavier, injuries are constant, and he doesn't know when he will be able to make a comeback. In Zion's absence, Ingram had to stand up and lead the team. Ingram faced the Timberwolves three times, played well, could shoot suddenly, and played the role of a star in the house. And Russell and Hanako are crazy to play iron, how to shoot, in the first half of the game is very struggling, Towns is not easy to play against Varan, too many fouls, if it is not the substitute Beverley and Beasley have broken out, the Timberwolves have long collapsed.
At the end of the game, Edwards had 28 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, and Towns was empty of 32 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists. However, Russell's offense was sluggish in this game, and Russell only got 9 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in 3 of 14 of the game, including only 8 of 1 three-pointers, in fact, Russell's play is still very important for the Timberwolves, so Russell needs to find his state in the next game.
