Chapter 1024 Please Be a Human Being! (Fourth Update!)

The news was so sudden that fans on social media didn't react immediately, but when they did, it exploded in an instant.

"This is... two preseason games to fire the other team's head coach?!"

"Yes, even though it's a preseason game, the Bucks formed the Big Three with the goal of rushing to the championship. They lost almost 60 points in two games combined. I'm afraid the boss is going to have a heart attack!"

"'Star teaming up is not a simple addition and subtraction of 1+1>2. I firmly believe that the Bucks can make it to the end.' - Excerpted from Bucks General Manager Jon Horst."

"Brother, you are not kind! If you hit someone without slapping someone in the face, what's going on with you?! (ω)"

"There's nothing I can do about it, the slap in the face happened so fast, it's hard to even remember it!"

"But this is so real. I still can't believe it. I was fired after losing two preseason games. The head coach of the team behind me is trembling?!"

"Pelicans, I advise you to be kind! Stay safe in the future so we can see you again!"

"I think further than you. What I think about is not how many head coaches will be fired. What I think about is how many teams will be dismissed!"

"reality!"

…

The Bucks fired Kidd, obviously not just because of the problems in these two preseason games.

Kidd performed poorly in the playoffs last season, and the management was already quite dissatisfied with him.

This summer, Kidd even asked the management for more power, hoping to serve as the team's general manager.

This has intensified the conflict between him and the management.

The big defeats in these two preseason games were the last straw for him.

But fans will not delve into this, because the most intuitive feeling for them is that the Bucks were brutally beaten in two games and Kidd was fired.

And not only the fans, but also the head coaches of the Clippers and Lakers who were about to warm up with the Pelicans were trembling.

Their coaching position is not as stable as Kidd's.

On October 9th, U.S. time, after two days of rest, the Pelicans visited Los Angeles to face the Clippers and Lakers.

The Staples Center was also full.

Although the season has not yet started, the trend that can be felt is that as long as there is a Pelicans game, the attention will be extremely high, even if it is abused.

However, during the warm-up before the game, the fans felt that they would be disappointed in tonight's game.

Because during the warm-up before the game, the Big Four of the Pelicans were all wearing suits and ties, not training clothes!

This is definitely not going to happen.

After the Clippers sent away Griffin, the core of this team is Gallinari, and they will definitely be rebuilding in the new season.

However, their head coach is champion coach Rivers, and he has always been known for his chicken soup and is good at stimulating the potential of players.

Translated, Rivers' performance in coaching giants is average, but his ability to coach ordinary players is definitely top-notch.

None of the Big Four of the Pelicans is on the list, which is a bit excessive and even underestimates the opponent.

Sure enough, when the final tactics were being laid out before the game, Rivers was shown on the Clippers bench, and Rivers spoke in a fierce voice.

Even if it's just the preseason, if you underestimate the enemy so much, then I'll give you some color to show you!

The game started soon, and the starters of the two teams came on stage one after another.

On the Clippers' side, Teodosic and Beverley are on the outside, Wesley Johnson and Gallinari are on the forward line, and DeAndre Jordan is the center.

For the Pelicans, Brogdon and Lamb are on the outside, Bojan and Siakam are on the striker, and Dedmon is on the center.

The Pelicans' lineup, except for Dedmon, was all substitutes. When the starter came up, there were already unstoppable bursts of boos.

On the one hand, many of them are rushing to watch the Big Four of the Pelicans to watch the game. On the other hand, using substitutes to play the Clippers' main force is a bit excessive!

When Stevens was shown the camera, the boos got even worse.

You are Stevens, not Popovich, not everyone can pretend like that!

When the whistle sounded on the court, Jordan jumped high and moved the ball back to the Clippers half, officially kicking off the game!

Teodosic organized on the outside, and Gallinari and Johnson made three-point runs around the pick-and-roll on both sides.

This is Rivers' usual positional warfare tactic.

Gallinari came out to catch the ball and shot a three-pointer, with his hand rising and falling, giving the Clippers the lead.

The scene burst into cheers.

Rivers also nodded secretly on the sidelines.

If the Pelicans want to show off, then the Clippers will give them a slap in the face!

However, before the cheers of the fans died down, Siakam directly held the ball in the frontcourt and accelerated to break through the basket, speeding away from Gallinari and scoring the ball.

The Clippers missed a wave of offense here. Looking back, it was Siakam. This time, he was out of position and beat Johnson. He turned around and made a layup to score two more points!

Brogdon performed dazzlingly last season, and Siakam has also shown strength this season!

If you really want to count it out, Siakam is ranked higher than Brogdon!

Teodosic and Jordan played an alley-oop to cooperate, but Siakam showed his talent in this ball, and his long arms interfered and destroyed it.

What Siakam has improved this season is his offense, and defense is his strength.

The Clippers' offense returned in vain, and Siakam continued to break through. He broke into the paint and was double-teamed, then passed the ball to Bo Yang, who shot a three-pointer.

"Uh-huh!"

It's also the same thing!

7 to 3!

The Pelicans played all substitutes and actually had the upper hand!

"Wake up! This is a shame!"

Rivers was so emotional that he shouted to the Clippers players on the sidelines, "This is a bowl of chicken soup on the spot!"

The Clippers learned their shame and acted bravely. Beverley forced his way to the basket and drew a foul. He went to the free throw line and made one of two free throws, adding to the Clippers' scoring streak.

Looking back, Brogdon played the role of organization. After picking and rolling with Siakam, he rushed to the basket and scored the ball after confronting Gallinari!

9 to 4!

Gallinari's outside pass missed the three-pointer, and Dedmon protected the defensive rebound.

The Pelicans directly played a defensive counterattack this time. Brogdon rushed to the frontcourt and returned the ball to Siakam who followed up.

Siakam caught the ball outside the three-point line but didn't shoot. He beat Beverley to the basket. After being fouled, Siakam adjusted in the air and scored the ball!

2+1!

Rivers looked stunned and in disbelief.

The Clippers, it seems, can't beat the Pelicans'... bench.

After the first quarter, the score on the field was 29 to 19, and the Pelicans were already leading by double digits.

By halftime, the score became 54 to 39, and the Pelicans were already leading by a full 15 points!

And that's not the end.

Back in the second half, the Clippers counterattacked the Pelicans with a 7-0 attack wave.

It can be seen that Rivers midfielder made a pot of juicy and fragrant chicken soup for the Clippers players.

But it was Siakam who first broke through and then scored to assist Lamb with an air cut and scored a goal, and then received a pass from Brogdon and scored a three-pointer!

The score difference was widened again.

After that, the Clippers failed to get closer to the score!

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Clippers 93-79 even though none of the Big Four played!
