Chapter 1058 (1/2)
At the New Orleans Stadium on December 3, almost all pelicans fans put their hands on their chests to prevent their hearts from jumping out.
Because today, they will have a chance to kill the Memphis Grizzlies, who are currently 19-0, unbeatable in the League!
At the same time, Tim Fraser, the pelican's 1.85-meter-tall starting point guard, was in possession of the ball after 14 years out of the draft.
After moving to Pelican at the end of last season, he has been able to knock down 13.1 points and 7.5 assists in 16 games.
So this season, when hollodi was injured, he became the pelican's starting point guard of choice.
Last season in the pelican's outstanding performance, let Fraser harvest self-confidence.
So even at this critical moment, Fraser is not a bit nervous.
He calmly controlled the ball and looked at the number on the rebound timer that kept beating.
At this point, the game has played to the last 15 seconds, the New Orleans pelican is only 2 points behind the Grizzlies!
If this attack is successful, the pelican will have a chance to drag the game into overtime. Even, directly win the game!
Today, the pelicans' performance surprised everyone. At present, they are 7-14 and have no capital to fight Grizzlies.
The last fight between the two sides ended with a grizzly victory.
However, the pelicans, who are still eager to reach the top eight in the west, showed a strong desire to win today.
Anthony Davis played very hard. He fought like a blue collar player for every rebound.
Of course, Anthony Davis alone, the pelican is not going to cause trouble for Grizzlies.
The reason why the pelicans really put Grizzlies into a tough fight today is their other drop off draft, Langston Galloway!
To be honest, link didn't know who this guy was until the game started.
Like Fraser, Langston Galloway, who was also a 14-year drop off draft, is an ordinary backup guard with only 8 points per game this season.
But today, Galloway suddenly exploded. He came out of the bench, today in the three-point line outside Leng is 12 shot 6, slash 26 points!
Galloway's sudden outburst was unexpected by the Grizzlies, and it was because of his 26 points and other people's positive performance that the pelican has been biting the score until now.
At this point, of course, link himself to defend Galloway. Giorgio predicted that the pelican's final goal was likely to be given to Galloway!
Indeed, the real heart of the pelican is Davis. But now, the pelican needs a three-point shot to kill the game. Today, Galloway's performance outside the three-point line is far better than Davis.
The local commentators in New Orleans are very excited. In their opinion, it's really embarrassing for a superstar like link to defend a draft like Galloway himself.
But link doesn't think so. First of all, he's also a draft loser, not a natural pick. What's the problem with drop offs?
Second, it's not a shame for a superstar to defend against a drop in the draft. If you lose in the end, it's a real shame.
This is the first time that link defends Galloway today. Galloway is a little nervous. He doesn't even dare to look at him.
Although today, he has also been against Wade, Carter and other veteran stars.
But none of them has the sense of oppression like link!
Link is like a wild animal hiding in the dark. As soon as you move, he will come out and bite your neck!
Davis passed by in seconds, and Galois had one second left to pick up the ball without cover.
He is the pelican team's last attack choice!
Galloway trusts Anthony Davies very much. After all, that guy is the best player in the team. Therefore, he believed that Davis would certainly be able to block link.
Davis is omnipotent, and a mere cover without the ball will certainly not defeat him.
Go to the top of the front outside the three-point line and Galloway catches the basketball. He's aiming at the basket, as long as he can get the ball in like he did six times before, it's over!
Pelicans will also be the first team to beat the Grizzlies this season.
It's a great honor for Galloway and the pelican as a whole!
But just as Galloway was ready to take the shot, link, in his dark blue away shirt, rushed to him.
What's more, the expression is ferocious!
”You think you can kill me!” Link gave a deep cry to Galloway, who felt his legs soften.
”Damn it!” See Galloway is entangled by link, just finished the cover of Davis immediately cut in.
Link's speed is too fast, and his skill in getting out of the screen is superb. He didn't give Galloway any chance and Davis can only lead by example now.
The pelican's backup plan is Davis hitting the basket and equalizing!Although you can't win, it's better than losing.
Galloway didn't think much and immediately handed the ball to Davis.
It's not everyone who can do it. In addition to superb skills, you have to have a big heart.
Even in the face of the most tight defense and the most terrible defender, a big heart can let you calmly complete the shot.
Obviously, Galloway doesn't have the conditions to throw a shot.
Inside cut Davis received the basketball, because everyone thought Galloway was going to throw, so Davis defense was not so tight.
Davis took the opportunity to go straight to the basket. Next to him, Tobias Harris had already put it up.
But Davis believes it is impossible for Harris to stop himself. Harris didn't dare to foul in this desperate moment.
