Chapter 400 Battle of Tianwang Mountain with Pelicans
The Pelicans cannot stop Wang Feng, but the Lakers can limit the scoring efficiency of Davis and Zion Williamson by adjusting their formation. Even if it only limits the efficiency to a certain extent, it cannot completely prevent death.
Two people, but that's enough.
The Lakers, who established a point difference advantage in the first half, successfully stabilized the score in the third quarter and did not allow the Pelicans, who launched a counterattack, to catch up.
Entering the fourth quarter, as Wang Feng exerted his strength again, the Pelicans had no choice but to surrender.
The final score between the two teams was 115:102, with the Lakers winning by 13 points at home.
Wang Feng scored 47 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, a huge triple-double. Ingram had 22 points and 5 rebounds, Kuzma had 18 points, and Jordan Poole had 11 points. Four members of the Lakers team scored in double figures.
On the other side of the Pelicans, Davis scored a team-high 26 points, Zion Williamson scored 23 points, and Paul had 14 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists.
It's not surprising that the Lakers won the home opener.
Although the new Pelicans are very strong on paper, they still don’t have enough experience in the playoffs. Apart from Paul, Davis, the most experienced guy with thick eyebrows in the team, has only played in the playoffs twice. Zion
.Williams participated in the playoffs for the first time.
Compared with the Los Angeles Lakers, who won two championships in three years, they are like a toddler.
Of course, this baby learns very quickly. After this game, I think the Pelicans will fully learn from the experience of failure and make themselves stronger.
Things developed just as many people thought.
In the G2 game of the first round series, the Pelicans performed significantly better than in G1, especially Zion Williamson.
Zion, who only scored 19 points in G1, shined in G2. He kept attacking the frame with the ball and completely tore up the Lakers' defense. Even Howard couldn't do it. Although he successfully blocked Zion's goal, he was very disappointed.
Soon Zion was fouled by several defensive fouls, so he had to go off the court and rest.
In the whole game, Zion made 13 of 22 shots. All his offense came from the basket. He made 9 of 13 free throws and finally scored 35 points and 6 rebounds.
Zion showed his strength and also liberated Davis, the thick-eyebrow brother. Therefore, the thick-eyebrow brother also scored 29 points and 13 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was as high as 60%.
The two No. 1 picks combined for 64 points and 19 rebounds, making the game extremely tense. The Pelicans once held a more than ten-point lead.
But the game was eventually won by the Lakers with a tenacious comeback.
In the last 2 minutes, Wang Feng relied on the key shooter badge to score 14 points in a row, forcing a single-handed comeback and helping the Lakers narrowly beat the Pelicans by 1 point, 108:107.
The game totaled 44 points, 16 rebounds and 14 assists, a huge triple-double. Wang Feng, the king of the final quarter, once again shocked everyone with his skills.
Although they lost the game they should have won because of Wang Feng, the Pelicans were not discouraged. At least the Pelicans performed much better in this game than in G1. Zion is constantly learning and improving through the game.
, the next games will only become more and more beneficial to them.
On April 21st, G3 of the first round series, the main game came to the home court of the New Orleans Pelicans. The Pelicans returned to their home court and were in great shape. Brother Big Eyebrow scored 30+, and both Zion and Paul also won.
to score 20+.
Relying on the strong performance of the Big Three, the Pelicans won this game and chased the total score to 1:2.
Immediately after G4, the thick-eyebrow brother broke out strongly, scoring 48 points and 18 rebounds in a single game. He competed with Wang Feng, who had 45 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, to help the Pelicans win the G4 game and even the total score to 2:2.
flat.
The two sides have returned to the same starting line, and the next G5 has become a crucial battle that directly determines the outcome of the event!
For the Lakers, it is undoubtedly the best news that the crucial battle at Tianwangshan can be held at their home stadium, the Staples Center.
Sitting at home, all members of the Lakers can better display their strengths, and they also have a certain degree of home whistle advantage.
Of course, these advantages cannot avoid the fact that this is a fierce battle between dragons and tigers.
As soon as the game started, the competition was quite fierce.
Ingram held the ball and attacked the frame, but Davis, the thick-browed brother, hugged him and threw him to the ground.
The Lakers were not to be outdone at all. Paul's European step layup was slapped on the ground by Wang Feng who shot through the air.
The entire first quarter of the game was filled with whistles, and the game process was very incoherent, which also demonstrated the intensity of the game.
Soon, Ingram and Lopez on the Lakers' side both committed three fouls and were taken off the court early. On the Daigo team's side, Davis, the thick-browed brother who is the main defender in the interior, also committed three fouls.
The situation became Wang Feng VS Paul + Zion, and the situation immediately changed.
Wang Feng is really not bragging. The overall rating has reached 99, and he has multiple high-level badges. Wang Feng's strength is beyond the comparison of Paul and Zion.
