新奥尔良鹈鹕队重新开始的一个主要话题是教练组对新秀明星锡安·威廉姆森的上场时间有严格的限制。然而,在周六对洛杉矶快船队的又一场失利之后,主教练阿尔文·根特里解释了球队除了缺少初出茅庐的超级巨星之外,还必须关注的另一个方面。
在新奥尔良126-103输给洛杉矶之后,金特里承认他的球队需要做出更好的决定。
“这并不是我们所付出的努力,”鹈鹕教练通过克里斯蒂安·克拉克说nola.com网站. “这是决策。
“他们打出了一堆3分球,尽管如此,我仍然认为比赛的最终目的是:我们必须开始控制失误。这是我们过去两场比赛的致命弱点。”
鹈鹕队在周六的比赛中18次传球,这比他们在周四对爵士的首场比赛中的20次失误要好两次。仅两场比赛就有38次失误,不出所料,这两次都造成了损失。
新奥尔良没有提供锡安的具体情况,以及他们打算如何在接下来的几场比赛中增加他的上场时间。在这一点上,似乎鹈鹕将需要继续计划,没有他们的高度前景。

Alvin Gentry reveals biggest reason for Pelicans’ struggles beyond Zion Williamson’s minutes limit
原文:
One of the main talking points for the New Orleans Pelicans coming into the restart is the strict minutes restrictions the coaching staff has given on rookie sensation Zion Williamson. However, after another loss on Saturday against the Los Angeles Clippers, head coach Alvin Gentry explained another aspect his team must focus on aside from the absence of their budding superstar.
Speaking after New Orleans’ disappointing 126-103 blowout loss against LA, Gentry admitted that his team needs to make better decisions moving forward.
âIt wasnât the effort we played with,â the Pelicans coach said, via Christian Clark of nola.com. “It was the decision-making.
“They made a bunch of 3s. That being said, I still think the game came down to: We have to start managing out turnovers. Itâs been our Achilles’ heel the last two games.”
The Pelicans turned the ball over 18 times on Saturday, which was just two better than the 20 turnovers they committed against the Utah Jazz in their opening night defeat on Thursday. That’s a total of 38 turnovers in just two games, and unsurprisingly, both have resulted in losses.
New Orleans has not provided the specifics of Zion’s status moving forward and how they intend to increase his minutes in the next few games. At this point, it appears that the Pelicans will need to continue planning without their highly promising prospect.
