Live Bar, December 12-today’s NBA regular season, Pelican beat the Sun 129-124 at home and Hao won seven consecutive victories. Pelican rookie defender Dyson Daniels was interviewed after the game.
Speaking of the match between himself and Paul, Daniels said: “For me, it is really great to have Herbert Jones and Alvarado to help me defend against Paul. They told me that you had to put your hand away when defending Paul, otherwise he would try to sweep your hand to make a foul. Today he wanted to do that, but I soon took it back. Paul is a very smart player, so we have to show our basketball IQ.”
In this game, Daniels started at 35 minutes 44 seconds, shooting 4 in 7, 1 in 3, 2 in 3, 2 in free throws, 11 points, 1 in 1 rebound, 8 assists and 1 snatch, and no mistakes, plus or minus value +10.
Paul made 3 out of 10 shots in 34 minutes and got 6 points, 11 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 steals, but there were also 3 mistakes and 6 criminals left in overtime.
