The Lakers fans at the scene were full of despair.
They suddenly understood why New Yorkers often coaxed the home team.
Because when the home team is bad, you are really impulsive.
The Lakers have been rotten for a few years, but the Knicks are rotten most of the time!
The first quarter became the epitome of this preseason game.
The Pelicans defended a 2-3 defense, and the weakness of Ball and Simmons who could not make three points was infinitely amplified.
Other talents were inadequate, and the Lakers ultimately defeated the Pelicans 70-90.
Simmons made 6 of 22 shots and got the Lakers' highest 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.
On the Pelicans side, Brogden had a game-high 23 points and 4 assists. Siacam continued his previous fiery state, scoring 16 points and 6 rebounds, Ross 14 points and 2 assists, and Ding Yan Yuhang 5 points and 2 rebounds.
The game also attracted wild criticism from Lakers fans on social media.
You know, they use Time Warner to watch the game, and that's pay TV!
"Trash Scott, Trash Lakers management, Kobe messed up after retirement!"
"The Lakers' chaotic management now makes free agents afraid to avoid it! It used to be a paradise for free agents!"
"George was likely to come before, but the management said that George was not worth it! Maggie, you still go back to be your name!"
"My son is almost going to be a daughter. Do you think he can manage the Lakers?"
"Is that okay with Maggie? This is Jenny Bath's decision!"
"But Maggie hasn't done much either! Pick a smart Simmons every day! And a 'historical' guard who won't shoot?"
"Hey, the Lakers championship, this has become an endless ridicule on social media! We have fallen to such a point!"
...
After winning the Lakers, the Pelicans also successfully ended the preseason with a 4-game winning streak.
This record was expected, but no one thought of it.
The Pelicans used the bench and half of the bench, and I won.
The Pelicans are much stronger than they thought.
And just after their game against the Lakers, the Lakers officially announced their resignation from head coach Byron Scott.
The team will temporarily be assisted by assistant coach Paul Placi as the interim head coach until they find a suitable new coach candidate.
The news came out, and fans ushered in a new round of discussion on social media.
What was unexpected was that the resigned Scott expressed his dissatisfaction with the Lakers' management in front of the media.
"I was deceived and betrayed by the management. They didn't give me any rights at all, but hoped that I would still have a record when I rebuilt."
But not long after Scott's remarks, Jenny Bath posted the status on her personal Twitter.
"He didn't meet our management's requirements at all, he didn't even do anything well."
After Bryant retired and D'Antoni left Houston, the Lakers entered the era of reconstruction, and Scott was selected as the new head coach.
During the reconstruction process, training young people is naturally the first goal.
Simmons is so high or low today, just like the Lakers' current chaotic situation.
No one can say whether it is Simmons' own responsibility or Scott's responsibility as the head coach.
Now a preseason game has a lot of fans' opinions, and someone needs to come out to help, Scott is naturally the least expensive one.
But the end point of the fans' discussion on social media is not this, it is what they worried and discussed before really happened!
Following Kidd, Scott is off too!
Because the league has extended the regular season in the new season, this year's preseason game has shrunk from previous years, from 7 games to 4 games.
But these are the four preseason games, the Pelicans have played off the coaches of both teams!
50% of the class rate, this data is horrible!
This is just a preseason game. The Big Four have played one game together. The ghost knows what the Big Four ’s full output will look like in the regular season!
New York headquarters.
Xiao Hua frowned.
He has been very stressed lately.
Since the Pelicans formed the Big Four, the management of each team has expressed dissatisfaction with him.
Although it can be expected that the Pelicans' games will attract much attention, correspondingly, the attention of other teams will definitely fall!
There is no suspense in the season, and the bosses of the teams have been very restless.
Even the new Rockets owner Tillman Fertita and the Warriors owner Joe Lacob have questioned his ability, blaming him for failing to stop Butler's trade in the first place.
He had miserable words, but Butler's trade seemed normal at that time, who can think of the Pelicans playing such a big game? !!
And he tried to stop it later. The Pistons and Jazz helped each other!
But in his eyes, it was really embarrassing for him to notice.
It's already a boat, and it doesn't make sense to go any further.
Before the start of the new season, the only thing he can do now is to minimize the losses of other teams.
"You go and talk to the ESPN people and let them make the Cavaliers to the top when they make the list.
The Warriors and Rockets teams have to give high comments, and the Pelicans try to say bad places. "
Xiao Hua said to Borgia.
The media is the main channel for fans to receive information, especially large media such as ESPN, which is basically similar to the weather forecast in the eyes of ordinary people.
Most of the time, the league also controls the fans' thoughts through the media.
Now it is impossible to calm down the anger of the team owners, only to ease it, this is the best way he can think of.
Borgia nodded and went out to work.
When he left, Xiao Hua thought again.
The media alone is certainly not enough.
From a long-term perspective, he still has to find ways to strengthen the Cavaliers and Warriors, even the Rockets and Mavericks.
The Bucks' preseason encounter made him realize the horror of the Pelicans ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Without creating more opponents for the Pelicans, the game really has no suspense.
It's just that there are basically no players in the free market, and the trading market is not so easy to operate.
He thought about greeting Tatum again, and if George could go to the Thunder, the Thunder would also be a threat to the Pelicans.
Thunder.
He thought about it. Before he heard that the Thunder failed to trade to George, he aimed at the Knicks' Anthony.
He could try to facilitate the deal.
Anthony was also in the top ten of the MVP list last season. He went to the Thunder to make the Big Three, which can also have an impact on the Pelicans.
And it also inspired him, the Warriors, Mavericks, Rockets still have their trading space.
Anyway, he has to create a strong opponent for the Pelicans, otherwise his comeback is a clown performance, and after a year of acting, he will get off again.
