ALL NOVEL Chapter 778
Vol 2 Chapter 719: Start 3 Straight Wins
Popular recommendation:
Among the players of the Pelicans, Wang Zelin is most concerned about Jimmy Butler.
Butler, who just ended his rookie contract, was traded to the Pelicans and signed a new five-year contract worth 100 million yuan with the Pelicans management, becoming another million-dollar contract man in the NBA.
Of course, in addition to signing a big contract, Butler is happy that he has finally become the absolute boss of an NBA team.
In fact, since Butler gradually grew up to become an all-around small forward with an average of 20+5+3+1 per game last season, the outside world has often heard Butler’s intention to grab the team’s boss, and later even with the team. Some of the players were conflicted.
However, the Bulls are Rose’s team after all.
Even if Rose has been on and off for the past two or three seasons, that hasn’t diminished Chicago fans’ love for this rose.
Until this summer, when the Bulls were rumored to be in a two-way trade with the Pelicans, Butler became the first main player to be put on the shelf.
After a brief anger, Butler was more relieved.
There is no master here, there is a place to leave master!
It is also adhering to this idea that Butler can be regarded as promoting the team’s transaction, and finally successfully changed the owner, and now has a large contract and tactical status.
Although he has only just joined the Tigers and has played a few games, Butler has found a long-lost sense of belonging.
From now on, he will fight for himself!
…
In the warm-up session before the game, Wang Zelin took the initiative to say hello to Butler. The two chatted for a few words, and then separated.
Before leaving, Wang Zelin checked Butler’s player evaluation, and it was 85, reaching the standard of the All-Star level.
Since last season, Butler’s strength has basically entered the peak period, with 20+5+3 in the regular season and 22+5+4 in the playoffs, and what is even more commendable is that Butler is a star with excellent offense and defense.
Perhaps Butler’s talent is destined for him to be unable to become the boss of the championship team, but if he just gets along with the Pelicans, his strength is enough, at least he has the possibility of leading the team to the playoffs.
As for other Pelicans players, Eric Gordon scored 83, Josh Smith scored 81, Jrue Holiday scored 79, and Perkins scored 71…
I don’t know why, the more I look at this Pelicans team, the more Wang Zelin has a sense of being watching the Grizzlies.
After carefully looking at the ability of the opponent’s core players, he realized that the Pelicans’ current starting lineup has little left over Perkins’ defensive skills due to his age, whether it is Butler, Smith or Hawke. Ledi, the defense should definitely be called a defensive giant. Gordon’s defense is also above the same level, which is enough to cover up the shortcomings of insufficient interior defense.
No wonder he feels like he’s watching the Grizzlies.
From the perspective of paper strength, the Pelicans can try to take the line of iron-blooded defense, and they have the potential to become another Western “cuckoo” after the Grizzlies.
After the game started, the situation was more intense than the opening game. Gordon and Butler played very bravely in the face of strong opponents, scoring 31 points in the first half, the former scored 14 points, and the latter scored 17 points.
At halftime, the Pelicans trailed the Trail Blazers by just 6 points.
But in the third quarter, the Blazers suddenly increased their defensive intensity, and Wang Zelin, the core boss, took the lead in defense, and the Pelicans couldn’t continue their scoring all of a sudden.
In this section, the Blazers beat the Pelicans 28:12, directly pulling the difference to 20 points.
In the end, they also beat the Pelicans 112-94 to get their two-game winning streak in the regular season.
With two consecutive victories, especially two big wins, the Blazers have once again played as invincible as they were at the start of last season.
The next day, the Blazers continued to welcome the Suns at home.
The Suns, like the Pelicans, did not make it to the playoffs last season, but the difference is that the Pelicans let Davis go this summer, but they also exchanged good chips and still have the ability to hit the postseason. race hope.
But the Suns, relatively speaking, seems to be a lot of salty fish.
The biggest news for the Suns this summer was probably the acquisition of former DOPY and former champion center “Champion” Tyson Chandler from the trading market with a four-year, 52 million-meter contract.
After Chandler returned to the Mavericks last season, he paid a lot for his state. He almost supported the Mavericks’ inside defense. He scored 10.3 points, 11.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.2 blocks in 75 games throughout the season. The shooting rate reached 66.6%. .
However, at the end of the season, in the battle for the final spot in the playoffs, the Mavericks unfortunately lost to the Lakers. Wuyuan played in the playoffs last season, so all Mavericks fans were disappointed with the team’s hard work throughout the year.
Maybe it’s time for the Mavericks to rebuild!
When the reconstruction plan was determined, the old Chandler was the first to be abandoned.
The reason is very simple, because the Mavericks now have another promising young man and former pioneer Adams. Between the choice between the “Champion of Boxing” and the “Sea King” ~www.readwn.com~ Mavericks management expected among them chose the latter.
This is also the reason why the one-year champion of the Mavericks was angry and switched to his team. In the end, Chandler came to the sun with the principle of the highest price.
However, in addition to the introduction of Chandler, the Suns management team now has few bright deals.
Considering that the young guard selected by the Suns with the 13th overall pick in the first round this year has shown good potential both in the summer league and in the preseason, if nothing else, the Suns will be rotten this year. year.
The first battle in November.
The opponent is still the Suns, a weak team in the West. The Blazers completely suppressed the Suns with their excellent defense. This game was easier than the previous two games.
Devin Booker, who was originally expected by Phoenix fans, was completely lost tonight. His personal data dropped from 14 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal in the previous game to 2 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist today, which can be called a cliff-like decline.
“Wang, are we going a little too far, after all, he is still a child!”
Batum, who was in charge of defending Devin Booker tonight, looked at Sun No. 1, who had lost his soul at this time, at the end of the game, and suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart.
“Really? How can I remember saying that you had the most fun.”
Wang Zelin gave Batum a playful look, the latter smiled awkwardly, then turned his head and walked towards his new friend, Barton.
In this game, the Trail Blazers was another game with soaring points, 119 to 90, the Trail Blazers beat the Suns, won it very smoothly, and started a three-game winning streak.
Wang Zelin scored a game-high 32 points tonight, plus 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal.
It’s another day of three check-in and off-duty days!
