Chapter 760 you.know.nothing (First Update!)

After winning the Heat, the Pelicans' record has reached 58 wins and 4 losses.

There is still more than a month to go before the end of the regular season, and there are still 20 games left. The probability of the Pelicans breaking the historical record of the regular season is increasing.

And after returning to New Orleans, they received another piece of good news.

Ariza has recovered well from his ankle injury and has begun non-confrontation training with the ball. He is expected to officially return at the end of March.

Bojan performed very well during Ariza's absence, but Ariza's wing defense is irreplaceable.

This will become very important especially in the playoffs, and his comeback will be of great help to the Pelicans.

The day after returning to New Orleans, the Pelicans faced off against the Clippers for the second time this season.

The Pelicans didn't feel good as a team in this game, and their own basket was blocked.

The Clippers' bench, Lou Williams, broke out and scored a season-high 37 points, helping the Clippers win the game.

It's an unexpected loss, but it's part of the season.

After all, the Pelicans are not a machine and cannot win every game. Occasionally, there will be times when their form and feel are not good.

However, after winning, Reeves, who had played for the Pelicans and scored 13 points and 3 assists in this game, seemed very excited.

"We knew they weren't as strong as they thought they were, we knew we could beat them defensively, we knew we could win, and it was an expected win and it showed that we were underestimated by everyone."

Reeves Jr.'s attitude shows that he was still very concerned about being traded by the Pelicans.

And defeating the league's No. 1 Pelicans is exciting enough.

But he was clearly overexcited.

"We knew we could win, this was an expected victory" was clearly overstated.

Many members of the Pelicans had additional training after the game, and they were quite speechless when they saw the news.

Speaking of Whiteside before and Reeves now, these old Pelicans players are very dissatisfied with the Pelicans.

However, this dissatisfaction is also reasonable.

The Pelicans have continued to get stronger in the past two years, not by signing, but by drafting and cultivating themselves.

In this process, someone will definitely be eliminated, whether it is Whiteside or Reeves, they are all of this type.

When they see the Pelicans playing so well now, they will definitely have thoughts in their minds, such as I should be a part of it.

Stephenson also practiced extra. He was very angry after seeing it and was looking forward to starting a war of words tomorrow.

But this time he didn't wait for him. Ariza, who was about to come back, took action first. He posted a status on his personal Twitter.

"You.know.nothing."

He also liked the Clippers’ official Twitter.

This sentence is what the wildling Ygritte said to Jon Snow in the fifth season of "Game of Thrones" that just aired.

The direct translation means that you (you) don’t understand anything, or you (you) don’t know anything.

Reeves Jr. said a lot of things we know during the interview, and Ariza's response to this line from the American TV series was simply clever.

During the training session the next day, the players all grabbed Ariza and laughed.

This kind of response is more interesting than any war of words.

This also made Reeves so angry that he couldn't even respond.

After winning the war of words, the Pelicans players were in a good mood.

However, in the training sessions before the game, they also put this aside and trained at 100% condition.

Just like Stevens said when the 25-game winning streak was ended at the beginning of the season, a proper loss is not a bad thing for the team, it can help them relieve their psychological burden.

But after losing, they need to adjust back to their state and be focused enough to face the next game.

That's what they're doing now.

Their next opponent is the Thunder.

The schedule was sweet for a while after the All-Star Game, but now the devilish schedule continues.

What's good for the Pelicans is that this game will be played in New Orleans, which allows them to sit back and relax.

The Thunder's state after the All-Star Game is not good. Not only the schedule, but Durant's state is also a problem.

In particular, his desire to attack is much lower than at the beginning of the season.

After arriving in New Orleans, the Pelicans arranged an open training session.

Durant was in a bad mood and did not accept interviews with the media. Westbrook was worried that Durant just said a few words and returned to the locker room early.

The reporters had no choice but to turn their microphones on Donovan, the team's head coach.

As a head coach with an NCAA background, Stevens led the Pelicans to great success, but Donovan, who also came from the NCAA, has always been questioned by fans.

"We played against each other in the NCAA, and I know his coaching style, which will be very helpful for us."

"But the Thunder lost last time."

"..."

Donovan appeared confident, but clearly inexperienced in dealing with reporters.

"How will you defend Don?"

A reporter asked a must-have question now.

"We don't need to think about this problem. If we play our own offense, we will naturally win the game."

"Do you mean you haven't studied this issue?"

"Of course not. We will use help defensive rotation and won't give him too many scoring opportunities."

Donovan quickly rectified his name. Now there are many people outside who accuse him of not knowing tactics.

"But then his passing can turn the entire Pelicans team around."

the reporter asked.

In fact, reporters ask this kind of question every time, but the answers they get are basically polite, because this is a problem for all teams in the league.

"We're not going to let him do that, our defense rotates very quickly."

Donovan emphasized.

"We know that the first team to do this was the Rockets. Tang Sanjie sent out 20 assists."

The reporter reminded.

"We're not going to let him get 20 assists. That's impossible. They didn't have 20 assists in the last game they lost to the Clippers."

Donovan said with firm eyes.

The New Orleans Arena was sold out that night.

The duel between Tang and Du is a matchup that fans never tire of watching.

And as a fan of the Pelicans and Tang Tian, ​​now that Tang Tian has surpassed Durant in terms of strength, this is even more worth watching.

During the warm-up before the game, a split shot of Durant and Tang Tian was shown.

Durant still looked a little distracted, but when he looked up and saw Tang Tian's enlarged smiling face on the large LED screen, his expression became much more serious.

Westbrook came over and patted his chest at this time, and he nodded.

No matter what the future holds, he must play well against Tang Tian. That is a game he must win.

The scene entered the opening ceremony, and the starting players of the two teams appeared one after another.

Both sides were regular lineups, but when Tang Tian was finally introduced, some fans noticed a familiar figure on the Pelicans bench.

Pelicans team consultant Steve Nash was also there, sitting at the end of the bench with his two daughters.

Thanks to 1025long1025 for the reward.
