1-for-8! 1-for-5! 1-for-6! Off the cliff! Substituted! In the second year after leaving the Warriors, it was useless.

Both the Mavericks and the Pelicans played back and forth, but unfortunately lost 99-101 in the end.

This was the second game the Pelicans won this season and the first away victory.

Thank you Lone Ranger!

This summer, none of the Lone Ranger's expectations for themselves happened.

After winning the No. 1 pick, the Lone Ranger thought that he would quickly return to the ranks of a strong team with the force of the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

The result was 2 wins and 6 losses at the start of the game.

There was nothing we could do, as all the key players were injured.

Irving is still recovering from his injury.

After straining his calf in the game on October 30, he has also entered a state of recuperation. He missed the third game today and is currently under daily observation.

Lively was also injured after playing the first three games of the season. He sprained his right knee and his return date has not yet been determined.

The luck of the Mavericks is really...

Today's starting lineup for the Mavericks👇

Although Flagg is ranked third in the latest rookie rankings, it is obvious that so far this season, Flagg has not lived up to expectations at all.

Flagg played 35 minutes today, making 8 of 19 shots and 1 of 5 3-pointers. He scored 20 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

With today's starting lineup, Flagg failed to stand up and play. It really gave you a useless opportunity.

Kidd’s final tactical arrangement was to ask Flagg to shoot the buzzer-beater. Is the meaning obvious?

With this lineup, you, Flagg, are the boss.

As a result, it is a pity that Flagg missed the shot.

But you said Flagg has no talent or ability, but that’s not true.

I just don’t know when it will actually be released!

As for Klay... he was moved to the bench today, and the Mavericks used Russell to replace Klay Thompson in the starting lineup.

With Klay's performance this season, putting him in the starting lineup is indeed a waste of position.

But this substitution seems to be just average!

Russell played 21 minutes today, making 3 of 10 shots, 2 of 4 3-pointers, and scored 9 points and 3 assists.

Faced with Russell like this, how are the Lone Ranger prepared to deal with it?

Next step, who should pass the starting position that was just passed to Russell?

Klay played 21 minutes today, making 4 of 7 shots, 3 of 6 3-pointers, 11 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 3 turnovers.

Is this considered Klay’s best game this season? ! So a substitute is more suitable? !

This season, Klay started the first 7 games. As a result, he averaged 20.3 minutes per game, made 3 of 9.4 field goals, and 1.6 of 6 3-pointers. He only scored 8.1 points, 3 rebounds, and 1.6 assists, shooting 31.8% from the field and 26.2% from 3-point range.

This is a huge decline in status!

Klay's 3-point situation this season is really bad👇

Klay has declined slightly in the last game, but he still averaged 14 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and his 3-point shooting rate was 39.1%.

This is the second year since Clay left the Warriors. It feels like his name is almost gone in the world.

Once upon a time, the light of the Buddha no longer existed.

It was particularly obvious in the last game against the Rockets.

In that game, Klay played 18 minutes, making 2 of 9 shots, 1 of 8 3-pointers, and only scored 5 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

In that game, Klay's 3-pointer was really a full-scale, all-round, no-brainer, bang-bang-bang.

It was about this game that the Mavericks were finally forced to admit that Clay was no longer qualified to start.

In fact, Clay is quite old. He was born in 1990. He is 35 years old this year and is entering his 15th season in the league.

He is getting older, he is declining, and he is approaching retirement. In fact, these are all very normal reactions to time.

Now it seems so caught off guard and even unacceptable. It is probably because people of our generation have not yet accepted the fact that they are getting old.

I still feel like a child. How do you expect me to accept that all the stars of my generation are on the verge of retirement? !

People even doubt that Clay is not the real Clay, and are unwilling to admit that he is just ordinary old.

Of course, it may also be because there is always a benchmark set there...

You said that the stars in 2003 were still in a state of play. How do you expect us to accept the rookies in 2011, who have declined to this extent? !

We are not the only ones who cannot accept it, Clay himself cannot accept it either.

The rage after frustration and powerlessness!

Let’s talk about a terrible fact. Among the top three picks in 2011, only the top pick Irving is still in the NBA.

Two lottery picks have announced their retirement - Kemba Walker and Jimmer Fredette.

Among the lottery picks, there are only three players left with contracts in the NBA: Irving, Biyombo, and Klay (Leonard is not a lottery pick)

Time flies by... How old is Qing this year?
