Chapter 154 Heading to New Orleans
The Suns lost again. Although Jiangbei played brilliantly, the media stopped being optimistic about the Suns. They thought it was just because everyone was not familiar with the Suns lineup. When everyone got familiar with it, the Suns' record declined.

Although this is only a part of the reason, it is only a small part. In the eyes of these media, it has become the main reason. So don't trust the media's words, because people who listen to them don't know how they died.

But Jiangbei and the others don't listen to the media at all. They will learn from what they say makes sense. They need to learn more from their failures. They still have a lot to improve in order to become stronger.

"The Suns should be ranked fifth in the league. Their current record is just inflated. They don't have the strength to lead the entire league."

-- ESPN Sports News
The next game of the Suns is one day later, going to New Orleans to face the Pelicans. Fortunately, the Suns have enough rest this time, and with the experience gained from these two games, Jiang Bei is confident of winning this game.

In order to ensure the rest of the players, the Suns flew directly from Sacramento to New Orleans, Louisiana.

On the flight, Ayton said angrily: "These reporters are talking nonsense, they just don't understand shit!"

"Dude, don't you understand? How great they are when they praise us, and how much they belittle us when we don't like it." Jiang Bei said calmly.

"That's right, I'm not talking about you, Ayton. You have been in the NBA for many years, and you can't see it as well as a rookie."

"Isn't that what they said was too much!" Ayton scratched his head embarrassedly and said.

Now the Internet is full of people who may never have played basketball, teaching them how to play professional players online.What do you say that the Suns pay too much attention to Jiangbei, a rookie, and should allow Paul, a veteran, to attack more. Jiangbei should shoot less three-pointers, and Ayton should strengthen his shooting ability and don't have to fight them hard inside.

It's just nonsense, I don't understand it at all!

In fact, when he first saw the news, Jiang Bei was also very angry. After all, no one wants someone who doesn't understand anything to guide him in the field he knows well.

But just after the game ended, Jiangbei received a call from Zihan to comfort him, and shared with Jiangbei her experience of being subjected to cyber violence on the Internet. As a member of the girl group, Zihan has much more experience in this area than Jiangbei.

The New Orleans Pelicans are located in New Orleans, Louisiana, M country, formerly known as the New Orleans Hornets. In the 2002-03 season, the Charlotte Hornets moved to New Orleans, opening the history of the team in New Orleans.

Since the growth of players such as Chris Paul and David West, the team has become a strong team in the Western Conference, but it has never made a breakthrough in the playoffs. As other teams strengthen and rise, they gradually fall behind. In January 2013, the New Orleans Hornets officially held a press conference to announce that the team was renamed the Pelicans. In the 1-2014 season, the team entered the playoffs again with the eighth place in the Western Conference.

New Orleans is a seaport city in the south of Louisiana, the country of M, and it is also the largest city in the state, administratively overlapping with Orleans County.New Orleans is also a metropolis in country M. In 2013, its GDP exceeded US$1800 billion, making it the most economically developed city in the state.

New Orleanians affectionately refer to their beloved city as "Nora."And this most distinctive city on the continental United States is indeed like a unique person, with its own unique character, temperament, spiritual outlook, and character and soul.

The Suns' plane landed at New Orleans International Airport, known as New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, which sits at an average altitude of 4.5 feet (1.4 meters), making it the second lowest international airport in the world.

In 2005, New Orleans was hit by a hurricane, and the Hornets' stadium was also damaged. The Hornets had to relocate part of their home games to Oklahoma City that season.Chris Paul, the Hornets' No. 4 pick at the start of the season, has been key to the team's revitalization.The point guard who is only 1.83 meters tall has completely changed the fate of this super underdog.

The 2005-06 season was Chris Paul's first season, and his performance was quite good, becoming the Rookie of the Year in that season.Under the leadership of Paul, the Hornets achieved 38 wins and 44 losses, and had the strength to return to the playoffs. However, due to the weak overall strength of the team and Paul being too young, they failed to enter the playoffs, but they won 2004 more games than in the 05-20 season.

But then Paul missed the playoffs many times due to injuries, and eventually Paul left the team.

In the past two seasons, the Pelicans once had a chance to return to the playoffs again. Unfortunately, it was always a bad move. In the end, they missed the playoffs.

As long as they keep going first, even in the west where there are many heroes, this youth team still has a chance to break into the playoffs.

Ingram of the Pelicans has become an All-Star player, and he also successfully completed a maximum salary extension with the Pelicans at the beginning of last season.Ingram was the pick in 2016. At that time, Ingram's draft template was Durant, which is enough to prove how outstanding Ingram's basketball talent is.

Ingram and Durant are very similar. Ingram has a very tall height and excellent wingspan, and he is also a small forward.Ingram played well in the first 6 games of the regular season this season and led the Pelicans to 4 wins and 2 losses. However, in the last 4 games, the Pelicans suffered a 4-game losing streak.

This season, Ingram averaged 23.8 points, 7 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, shooting 44.7% from the field and 34.5% from the three-point range. His scoring was the same as last season, but his scoring efficiency was much lower than last season.At present, the Pelicans have increased Ingram's possession of the ball and started to let Ingram dominate the ball, but the effect is not ideal, averaging 5.5 assists but 2.8 turnovers per game.

Originally, the small forward position is the easiest to achieve results. Whether it is the seniors James and Durant, or the Mesozoic Leonard and George, or the peers Tatum and others, they all entered the best team in their rookie season and led the team to break into the conference finals or finals in the playoffs. Leonard even won the FMVP in his rookie season.And Ingram's rookie season is over, but his personal honors are only an All-Star and an innocuous Most Improved Player.
