6 consecutive losses and ranked last in the league! He failed to imitate the Warriors, and the No. 1 draft pick Doncic lost weight just to catch fish.

On November 3, the NBA regular season continued. Today, the Thunder faced the challenge of the Pelicans at home. In this game, I thought that the Pelicans could create some pressure on the Thunder. After all, their opponents Jaywee and Chet were not available. As a result, the Thunder defeated the Pelicans in one quarter. They defeated their opponents 137-106. After winning, the Thunder won 7 consecutive games. Their current record is still the first in the league. Many core players have been absent since the start of the game. They are still able to perform such a performance, and they are worthy of being the defending champion.

The strength of the Thunder team is that they not only have top star Alexander, but also have an excellent system, which also allows them to maintain a strong competitiveness. In this campaign, Alexander made 8 of 14 shots and scored 30 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal. He made 13 free throws in the game. Harten scored 14 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists on 6-of-7 shooting. In addition, Wiggins scored 15 points, Jarinway had 12 points and 4 assists, Mitchell had 10 points and 8 assists, Joe had 13 points and 5 rebounds, Carlson had 11 points and 5 rebounds, and Wallace had 13 points and 5 steals.

Next, we will mainly talk about the Pelicans. In this campaign, Zion made 7 of 14 shots from the field and scored 20 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. The number one pick has been good since the start of the game, averaging 22.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. 2 steals and a field goal percentage of 48.7%. Although his offensive efficiency seems to be not as good as when he first entered the league, his passing and defensive contributions are still good, and he is still very good at whistle. This season, he ranks first in the league in free throws with 11.4 free throws per game. Does Alexander whistle enough? Not as good as Zion’s.

Fat Tiger was also very inspirational during the offseason. He followed Doncic's example and lost weight during the offseason. Both of them aimed to have a healthier body in the new season, but the results were completely opposite. Everyone has seen Doncic's performance this season, averaging 40+ per game, a proper MVP level. What about Zion? It is true that there are still star-level statistics, but the dominance is not as outstanding as before, and some people are still not suitable for weight loss.

It is reported that Zion lost about 18 pounds in the offseason. He used to rely on his strong body to hit the ground, but now he is not as heavy as before, and his resistance ability has also declined, so it is easier to defend him. However, if he does not lose weight, Zion's health cannot be guaranteed. The lack of development of skills has also made Zion still play in the same old style and can only rely on talent. The talent he relied on to survive when he entered the league was athleticism + strength.

Now the athletic ability is still there but the strength has been reduced, so Zion is not as strong as before. I think Zion lost weight in the offseason, maybe not to become stronger, he just wanted to be healthier and be able to ensure some attendance. Even if he goes on the court to fish, I will not be called a glass man anymore. Zion did all this for the big contract. After all, he still has two years left on his contract, and both are over 40 million. If Zion wants to get the full maximum salary, he needs to ensure attendance and weight, so he lost weight.

The Pelicans introduced Poole in the offseason and also acquired Rooney. Dumars wanted to create a system similar to that of the Warriors. They are imitating the Warriors in building a team. For this reason, the team also retained their two major 3D forwards Murphy and Jones. The team also acquired a small center Quinn who is similar to Dream Chaser. But as of now, they are completely imitating others. The team has 0 wins and 6 losses so far, ranking last in the league. It has failed to imitate.

The Trail Blazers are very successful after learning from the Warriors. They rely on the five primary schools and are now ranked third in the Western Conference. Why can't the Pelicans do the same? I think it’s because of the coach. In the past few years since Willie Green took over as head coach of the Pelicans, everyone has probably seen that the Pelicans have not made any progress at all. The current Pelicans are not only Zion who gives people the feeling of fishing on the court, but all the players feel the same. They have no intention of winning at all, and everyone can’t keep up.

Previously, the US media has reported that some Pelicans players have begun to question Willy Green's unreasonable tactical arrangements, and the Pelicans management has also seriously begun to discuss laying off Willy Green. It can be said that his coaching position is already shaky, but Willy Green is still unfazed. After today's game, Green accepted an interview. He talked about the issue of 0 wins and 6 losses in the start. Green said: The season is still long, and we must unite.

It is true that the season is still very long, but I am afraid that you and the Pelicans will not make it to the end. I think it is better for the Pelicans to choose to rebuild, send away players with trade value such as Zion, Murphy and Jones, and rebuild around Phils. This rookie has great potential. Although he plays alone, he is still a rookie after all. It is rare to have star temperament. He has the opportunity to become an excellent ball-handling core in the future. Fiers averaged 13.7 points, 2.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game this season.

As a rookie, it’s great to be able to perform like this without having absolute possession of the ball. Speaking of which, what do you want to say about the current Pelicans? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
