Introduction of Warriors vs Pelicans
Introduction Warriors vs Pelicans
Certainly, the New Orleans Pelicans and Golden State Warriors have waged quite the exciting rivalry in recent years showcasing a contrast of style with star power. This game might not pack the same kind of punch that you’d get from “The Game”Warriors vs Pelicans , but both teams are so all-over-the-place in recent years against each other and this one is sure to excite.
Team Overview
New Orleans Pelicans
The Pelicans, who are athletic and quick as they play behind All-Star forward Zion Williamson. Combining young star power with seasoned veterans, the group plans to get out in transition and create more fast break offense. Brandon Ingram brings more scoring range, and CJ McCollum adds leadership & creation. The Pelicans focus on attacking the rim, which generates foul calls and trips to the charity stripe.
Golden State Warriors
The Warriors, meanwhile have developed a reputation as arguably the most prolific three-point shooting team of all time that moves around possessions with manic precision. The Warriors’ perimeter-oriented attack, anchored by one of the greatest shooters in NBA history (yeah, I said it) Stephen Curry discombobulates defenses at every angle. The return of Klay Thompson urses their shooting to another level and Draymond Green strengthens the defense with his versatility and high basketball IQ. The Warrior’s success is largely built on getting open shots with screen actions and quick passing.
Recent Matchups Pelicans vs. Warriors
The contests have been close in their last several meetings, and both teams have shown that they can be a bad matchup for the other. New Orleans typically tries to attack the middle of Golden State’s defense by leveraging Williamson on his strength and agility. Meanwhile, a lot of the talent on golden state is getting spaced out and spread with shooters making it harder for New Orleans to defend properly because they have a big that has to get stretched.
Key Players to Watch
Zion Williamson, Pelicans: If you can force your way to the rim and score with power like he does, there’s practically nothing defenders can do. He is also an excellent rebounder and can help the Pelicans to win battle of boards against Warriors’ smaller line-up.
