The Clippers challenge the Pelicans
Before that, people's impression of Tyrenlu was probably that he could make the core of the team play an unparalleled personal performance, and play the strength of star players to the fullest, but this season, people's impression of Tyronlu has changed. Without George and without Leonard, the Los Angeles Clippers are still in seventh place in the West, and it is somewhat surprising to beat the Hawks led by Trae Young and the Nuggets led by Jokic in the past two games.
However, this game, the Los Angeles Clippers are going to challenge the New Orleans Pelicans, although the Pelicans' record is not ideal, only in the third-to-last position in the West, but Ingram's personal performance is getting better and better, the last game against the Timberwolves, he hit a three-point shootout in the last 0.3 seconds, successfully ending the opponent's 4-game winning streak.
Digging pits in the first half
But even so, it must be admitted that the Los Angeles Clippers are really unavailable. In the first quarter, they only scored 15 points, two cores, Morris Jr. shot 1 of 6, Reggie Jackson shot 4 of 0, the Pelicans naturally will not let go of such a good opportunity, Ingram got 6 points and 2 assists, led the team to 28 points, and successfully achieved a 13-point lead. After returning from the second quarter, the Clippers still had a bad feel, still scoring only 19 points in a single quarter, and the Pelicans continued to widen the point difference.
Varan had six points and four rebounds in the quarter and reached a double-double at halftime to lead the Pelicans 53-34 ahead of the Clippers by 19 points. It's not that the Pelicans did a great job, it's just that the Clippers are so bad. In the second half, the Clippers finally found their touch, and Mann on the bench scored 7 points and led the team to 29 points in a single quarter, but the Pelicans have fully taken off, and Ingram has 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on 4-of-6 shooting, helping the team to widen the point difference to 24 points at the end of the third quarter.
Such a huge point difference, the game can be said to lose suspense, Terrenlu gave up, but the Clippers bench was unwilling to give up, they continued to chase points, but they were stopped again and again by Ingram. Time passed by minutes and seconds, and in the end, the New Orleans Pelicans beat the Los Angeles Clippers by 24 points at home 113-89.
Another dark horse in the west
The Clippers lost the game, failed to replicate the reverse miracle of the last game against the Nuggets, and Tyrenlu was really helpless, and this team really has no one to turn the tide. Although there were also 6 people who scored in double figures, the highest score on the team was Mann on the bench, but 15 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, and then Morris Jr.'s 12 points and 3 rebounds, which took 14 shots, and the remaining 4 players who scored in double figures only scored 10 points. Reggie Jackson shot 2-of-11, with 5 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, which is really a clever woman.
The Pelicans refused to reverse, using a 24-point win to once again tell the league that they would be the dark horse team in the West. It is worth mentioning that in the past 4 games, the Pelicans have won 3 games against the Timberwolves, Warriors and Clippers, which shows the gold content. Ingram had 24 points, five rebounds and six assists in this game, Varan had 18 points and 16 rebounds, Jones was efficient in 5 of 6 shooting, had 14 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, Hart had 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Graham had 13 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, and Hayes on the bench also had 13 points and 4 rebounds.
