Hello everyone, I'm Mei Stable Yuyu, and today I bring you the following:
Lakers prepare to challenge Pelicans and Timberwolves] On the first day of the new year, the Lakers will face back-to-back challenges against the Pelicans and the Timberwolves, who are No. 1 in the West. In the previous game, the Lakers lost to the Timberwolves, and even if James played sick, it failed to change the outcome of the game.
With tomorrow's game approaching, the Lakers' starting lineup will be changed as James is bound to not play, which will put more pressure on the team. In their clash with the Pelicans earlier this season, the Lakers defeated the Pelicans 133-89 on a defensive basis, and now in the absence of Christians, who can limit Zion on the defensive end will be key in this game.
Pelicans' performance and challenges] The Pelicans have struggled this season, with 2 wins and 3 losses in their last 5 games, including the Cavaliers and Jazz, while losing twice to the Grizzlies and one to the Rockets. Although the Pelicans have great players such as CJ McCollum, Ingram, Zion and Valanciunas, they have never been able to play the overall effect, and have been more mired in infinite singles and lack of key ball ability.
The lack of a clear playmaker also made it impossible for Ingram and CJ to form a team. Unlike the Suns, the Pelicans have less explosive scoring on the court and a slower offensive tempo, and once they get caught up in positional battles, their ability to solve the game will be slightly lacking. In many games, they relied more on Zion for scoring and lacked an overall team strategy.
Lakers-Pelicans matchup vs. **] The Pelicans clearly have the upper hand against a Lakers team that is missing James and Davis. Although the Lakers have previously beaten the Pelicans by a big score, in this game, the Pelicans will be expected to get a win at home. Especially for players like Russell, Reaves and Hachimura of the Lakers, if they play poorly, then the likelihood of the Pelicans beating the Lakers at home will increase significantly.
Therefore, this game favors the Pelicans to win at home. The above is a combing of the upcoming game between the Lakers and the Pelicans, no matter what the final result of the game is, the suspense and highlights of the game itself will make fans look forward to it.
