Chapter 616 Cousins ??for Davis?
After playing against the Warriors, the Pelicans then ushered in a back-to-back game with the Bulls at home.
Tang Tian consumed a lot of energy last night, and Butler was very familiar with him. His performance declined in this game and only scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.
Davis still couldn't find the touch, making 4 of 14 shots in the game, only 11 rebounds and 9 rebounds.
The Pelicans finally lost regretfully, and after seven consecutive victories, they suffered a two-game losing streak.
Fortunately, the 76ers gave a wave of warmth in time, and the Pelicans' losing streak was over.
However, Davis' performance was still not good, only scored 10 points and 6 rebounds, and had 2 mistakes.
The opponent knew that he felt bad on the outside, so those who defended him were only preventing sudden and sudden moves.
This has a great impact on his performance.
After playing against the Timberwolves, the Pelicans then ushered in a away game against the Cavaliers.
This is the same as before fighting the Warriors, and it is also a key battle.
The two teams played very fiercely, and they tied 46 in the first half.
In the second half, Cavaliers head coach Blatt grabbed Davis and felt badly. He frantically double-teamed Tang Tian.
Davis still couldn't find the touch, the Cavaliers gradually established an advantage, James performed bravely, and the Cavaliers finally won the game.
Tang Tian scored another quasi-triple double data with 33 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.
After the game, fans were talking on social media.
In addition to complaining about Tang Tian’s identity as the leader of the group, Davis is the most important thing.
As the second in command of the Pelicans, Davis averaged only 10 points and 8 rebounds in these four games since his comeback, and his shooting percentage was less than 30%, only 27%.
This is obviously unqualified, and it is even absolutely dragging you down.
Although he has just returned from injury, as a superstar, he should have strong adjustment ability.
And more importantly, the two most critical games against the Warriors and the Cavaliers are lost because of your performance.
This shows that your ability to fight tough battles is not good!
For a time, the outside world was full of doubts about Davis, and Holiday was not as effective as the No. 2 position as the No. 1 position, and many people even suggested using him to trade an All-Star point guard.
After playing against the Cavaliers, the Pelicans returned to their home court to face the Trail Blazers.
Pelicans fans are looking forward to Davis being able to dispel doubts with a strong performance.
But the result is not, and it may even be worse.
Tang Tian scored a quasi-triple double-digit score of 33 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and carried the whole game to help the Pelicans win the game.
But Davis only scored 7 points and 10 rebounds on 2 of 9 shots, and made three turnovers.
No one knows what happened to Davis, and no one knows when Davis will recover.
After the game ended on this day, Tang Tian saw Nash coaching Davis for shooting training after the game.
Davis' shooting feel is not bad, with high mid-range and three-point shooting percentage.
Although the training and competition are different, this at least shows that Davis' performance is not entirely due to the feel problem.
After the press conference was over, Tang Tian came back and saw Davis still practicing alone in the stadium, so he walked straight over.
Seeing Tang Tian coming, Davis stopped.
Sweat ticks, he practiced for a long time.
"ad, don't worry, we have time, the season is not even half way through."
Tang Tian smiled and persuaded after he passed by.
Just as he attended the press conference, he thought of a question.
Because of his joining, Davis actually got fewer opportunities to perform than in history.
Even though his help allowed Davis to develop in a more correct direction, he had never been the boss and had a psychological quality level that was actually a bad one.
In fact, even Davis in history does not have the temperament of being the boss of the team.
Therefore, the performance has ups and downs, and more of it should be psychological problems.
You should know that this is the first time Davis has experienced such a long time of injury. After all, there are only a few people who are born with strong mentality.
This can be seen from Davis's shooting data. After all the games, his shooting times are decreasing.
Davis nodded with a smile.
This should be said to the point.
"A season is very long, and it is inevitable to experience injuries. I also experienced it last season, including the ups and downs of my state after my comeback, which is normal."
Tang Tian continued to enlighten the Tao.
"I know, but I..."
Davis wanted to speak but stopped.
"But what? That's the two of us."
Tang Tian continued.
"I'm afraid that if I miss the shot, I will hurt the team."
Davis glanced at the surroundings of the arena and said with a little remorse.
"No, you don't shoot to hurt the team."
Tang Tian directly refuted his words.
Davis stared at Tang Tian in a daze.
"You know Kobe, right? Although I'm sometimes speechless about his shooting choices, his Mamba spirit is worth learning.
When shooting, putting aside the touch, the most important thing is confidence. If you don’t believe in yourself, you can make a shot. Why will you score? Leave the result to God?”
The words are rough but not rough, and Tang Tian said nothing wrong.
"We need you to take action, and you can also make a shot, but you must be confident that many pitchers are trained through iron.
Procopio said that your shooting style is like Durant. Didn’t Durant just practice it by using crazy irons?”
Tang Tian continued.
"We can't live without you in the playoffs. You have to get back to form, and you can definitely get back."
Tang Tian said as he reached out to touch Davis's head.
Davis nodded vigorously when he heard this.
He actually made quite a few shots in those two games he made, but he didn't make any attempts, especially when he was targeted in the game against the Bulls, which led to problems with his self-confidence.
Tang Tian’s encouragement came in time and is very useful.
...
"Ah Yeh!"
Durant was doing upper limb strength training in the training hall when he suddenly sneezes.
Although it was winter and the temperature in Oklahoma was not high, the air conditioner was turned on during the training hall, and the sneeze was too sudden.
He called on the staff and asked them to turn the temperature a little higher.
...
Davis' poor performance has attracted much discussion from the outside world.
At this moment, a piece of news broke out in woj.
The Kings submitted a trade application to the Pelicans, hoping to trade Davis Gargord with Cousins Gaben McCramer.
Needless to say, Cousins and Davis, McCramer, as the No. 7 pick last year, averaged 12 points per game this season, and Gordon is now also having a premium contract.
In terms of transaction value, this is worthy.
The Pelicans rejected this trade proposal.
Pelicans owner Tom Benson likes Davis very much, and he is also optimistic about the future of the combination of Tang Tian and Davis. It is impossible for Davis to choose to trade him because of his poor performance for a while.
The deal was not negotiated in depth, but it was exposed, which had a significant negative impact on both teams.
Davis, especially, has poor performance and is involved in trading rumors, which is a huge test for the psychology of young players.
