Chapter 1065 Scott is out of class
The Lakers fans at the scene were filled with despair.
They suddenly understood why those New Yorkers often clamored for the home team.
Because when the home team is bad, you really have that kind of impulse.
The Lakers have been bad for a few years, but the Knicks are bad most of the time!
The first quarter became the epitome of this preseason game.
The Pelicans defended 2-3 in the joint defense, and Ball and Simmons' weaknesses, which were not limited to three-pointers, were infinitely magnified.
Others were not talented enough, and the Lakers eventually defeated the Pelicans 70-90.
Simmons made 6 of 22 shots, scoring the Lakers' highest 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.
Brogden scored a game-high 23 points and 4 assists on the Pelicans. Siakam continued his previous hot state, scoring 16 points and 6 rebounds, Ross scored 14 points and 2 assists, and Ding Yanyuhang scored 5 points and 2 rebounds.
This game also attracted crazy abuse from Lakers fans on social media.
You should know that they use Time Warner to watch the game, and that is paid TV!
"Junk Scott, Garbage Lakers management, Kobe was so bad after retirement!"
"The Lakers' chaotic management now makes free agents avoid this place! Once upon a time, this was a paradise for free agents!"
"George may have come before, but the management said George is not worth it! Maji, you should go back and be your celebrity!"
"Your son is almost in charge of his daughter. Do you think he can manage the Lakers well?"
"It has nothing to do with Maji, right? This is Jenny Bass' decision!"
"But Maji has made no achievements! He chose Simmons who is so cool every day! And a 'history' guard who can't shoot?"
"Hey, Lakers champion, this has become an endless joke on social media! We have actually fallen to this point!"
...
After winning the Lakers, the Pelicans also successfully ended the preseason with a four-game winning streak.
This record is expected, but no one expected this process.
The Pelicans won both the substitute and the semi-substitute.
This Pelicans team is far stronger than they thought.
And just after their game with the Lakers, the Lakers officially announced that they had resigned from their position as head coach Byron Scott.
The team will temporarily have assistant coach Paul Placi as interim head coach until they find a suitable new coach.
This news came out, and fans attracted a new round of discussion on social media.
But what was unexpected was that Scott, who was resigned, expressed his dissatisfaction with the Lakers' management in front of the media.
"I was deceived and betrayed by the management. They didn't give me any rights at all, but they hoped that I could still achieve results when I rebuild."
But not long after Scott made this remark, Jenny Bass posted this status on his personal Twitter.
"He didn't meet the requirements of our management, and he didn't even do anything well."
After Kobe retired and D'Antoni left Houston, the Lakers entered the era of reconstruction, and Scott was selected as the new head coach.
During the reconstruction process, cultivating young people is naturally the first goal.
Simmons's current game is as high as the Lakers' current chaotic situation.
No one can tell whether it is Simmons' own responsibility or Scott's responsibility as the head coach.
Now a preseason game has caused great opinions from fans and someone needs to take the blame. Scott is naturally the one with the least cost and the most suitable price.
However, the end point of fans' discussion on social media is not this, it is the thing they were worried about and discussed before that really happened!
After Kidd, Scott was also dismissed!
Because the league has extended the regular season in the new season, this year's preseason has shrunk compared to previous years, from 7 games to 4 games.
But in these four preseason games, the Pelicans beat the head coaches of both teams!
The 50% dismissal rate is simply terrifying!
This is just a preseason, and the four giants have only played one game together. Who knows what the four giants will do to output with all their strength in the regular season!
New York headquarters.
Xiao Hua frowned.
He has been under great pressure recently.
Since the Pelicans formed the Big Four, the management of each team has expressed dissatisfaction with him.
Although it can be foreseen that the Pelicans' game will attract much attention, the corresponding attention of other teams' game will definitely drop!
The season without any suspense has made the bosses of each team very unable to sit still.
Even Rockets new owner Tilman Fertitta, Warriors owner Joe Lacob, etc. have questioned his ability and blamed him for not being able to stop Butler's trade in the first place.
He had trouble saying that Butler's trade seemed normal at that time. Who would have thought that the Pelicans were playing such a big game?!
And he also tried to stop it later, it was the Pistons and Jazz who helped the evil!
But with his eyes, he would have realized that it was really embarrassing him.
The road is already done, and it is meaningless no matter how much you go, it is difficult to worry about it.
Before the new season begins, the only thing he can do now is to minimize the losses of other teams.
"You go and tell the people in espn, and when they make them the strength list, they will make the Cavaliers top the list.
The Warriors and Rockets' teams should give high comments, and the Pelicans try to say it to bad places."
Xiao Hua spoke to Borgia.
The media is the main channel for fans to receive information, especially large media like ESPN, which is basically the same as the weather forecast in the eyes of ordinary people.
The league often uses the media to influence the fans' ideas.
Now it is impossible to calm the anger of the bosses of each team, so he can only ease it. This is the best way he can think of.
Borgia nodded and went out to do business.
When he left, Xiao Hua started to think again.
It is definitely not enough to rely on the media to build momentum.
From a long-term perspective of the season, he still has to find ways to strengthen the Cavaliers, Warriors, and even the Rockets and Mavericks.
The Bucks' preseason experience made him realize the horror of this Pelicans. If you don't create more opponents for the Pelicans, there will be no suspense in the game.
But now there are basically no players in the free market, and it is not so easy to operate the trading market.
He thought about it and greeted Tatm again. If George could go to the Thunder, the Thunder would also become a threat to the Pelicans.
Thunder.
He thought about it and said that after he heard that the Thunder failed to trade George, he targeted Anthony of the Knicks.
He could try to make the deal.
Anthony was ranked in the top ten of the MVP list last season. He went to the Thunder to form a Big Three, which could also have an impact on the Pelicans.
And this also inspired him, the Warriors, Mavericks, and Rockets still have trading space.
