And the pelican can have such a good potential now, thanks to the thick eyebrows. In the summer of 20 19, the Lakers reached an agreement with the pelican, and the Lakers sent Ingram, Polgo, Hart and three first-round signings, and got heavy eyebrows. Today's pelican is different from usual. Now, in order to train these young players, they simply pack up all the old players in the team and send them away.
In this offseason, the Pelican made a deal with Thunder. Thunder sent Adams, and what they got from the pelican was a first round and several second rounds in the future. This first round is the draft right protected by the lottery in 2023. The pelican previously gave the No.24 draft right (RJ- Hampton) to the Nuggets. In this way, in the lineup, the pelican formed a lineup of Adams+Zion+Ingram. This kind of pelican has greatly improved both in defensive rebounding ability and scoring.
The most crucial point is that the pelican left Ingram a five-year salary of 65.438+58 billion. We all know that Ingram's draft template is Durant, and the pelican has been training him to be Durant. The management chose to renew the contract with Ingram in advance with the top salary. The intention can be imagined, that is, they took a fancy to Ingram's bright future!
Brother Qiu, who was also traded to Pelican with Ingram, was not so lucky. At present, Qiu Ge only has a contract of 2020-202 1 season value 1 1 ten thousand dollars. Ingram, who is one year older than himself, has renewed his contract with the highest salary in advance, but the renewal of the contract between Pelican and Brother Ball has not been put on the agenda. The author is really worried about Brother Ball!
But it's not the fault of the pelican. Brother Qiu's regular season data is not very ideal. Last season, he averaged 1 1.8 points and 6. 1 rebounds and 7 assists. You know, Brother Qiu is the second in the draft, and last season's average data can only be said to be barely passed. Now in the third year of entering the league, the results have not improved, really should not! In my opinion, Brother Ball is likely to be laid off at the end of the new season.
After talking about the pelican trade, let's review the pelican competition! On 65438+February 15, Beijing time, the pelican beat the Heat on the road with 1 14-92, and made a good start to the new season.
In terms of data, Zion Williamson scored 26 points 1 1 rebounds, Ingram scored 22 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Walker 14 points and 5 rebounds, Bauer 12 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, and Hart 165438+.
The Pelican team won the first game of the new season, but their headache also came. Who is the boss of the team among so many new players?
First of all, we can rule out Brother Ball, because his individual scoring ability is not his strong point. As the boss of the team, you need some offensive and key ball skills. From this perspective, the position of the leader of the Pelican team should be to choose between Zion and Ingram.
Although Ingram came to the pelican ahead of time, Zion's arrival was completely a latecomer. Therefore, the author is more optimistic about Zion becoming the leader. After all, because of his appearance, the pelican has increased a lot of national live broadcasts.
