NBAxNBL Melbourne Series – New Orleans Pelicans vs Melbourne United Game Highlights

It is so great to be back here tonight. It is. It’s exciting. Bring back the the 90 Magic Tigers type. Find his shot when he wants as most of these guys can. But that’s where Dino’s got the defensive principles and system that I’m sure he can [Music] for Melbourne United. Dime inside. Edwards. That’s some basic stuff. Nice move as Ma referred to pick and roll. It’s been going to be an interesting situation for Gristlevvic cuz he’s undersized even in the NBL at the four. Perfect just with a spectacular under out of bounds play. Spoke to Dash Daniels pregame. He told me that there’s always nerves to come off and shoot that turnover. A nice hands Murphy. Look it. Huge dunk from Trey Murphy right here. Pelicans leading 18-10 so far. Greg Monroe out there, which you know, he’s one of the coaches for the Pelicans. I’m playing with Greg and against Greg for a long time. There’s not many better to teach football to a young guy for Melbourne. Here’s the replay. There it is. Williamson cleans it up. Corner pocket three is good from Alvar. Been sitting there whole quarter. First shot, first touch, the first 10 seconds of the free ball. Elvarado, a knockdown three-point shooter. This is everything. Pelican having a good couple of minutes. Look out there. There we go. The athletic is on full display right there. Yeah, that’s Kingston. Kingston. Yes. Oh, special place. They were, you know, they took great care of me and I I mean, I was in the middle of the city, but it felt like I was in the in the wild, you know, a couple years back. Um, but I don’t know. I I I always make myself available. That’s that’s crazy to me that don’t you don’t have this this way. I love to share. I I told him you guys, you know, Jordan Hawk is with the Yukon. I told him I said tough. That’s tough. I told I told Hawk, I said, But well done to him. Very proud of him. Williamson attracts a crowd. There’s no way of stopping that. No, you know, Zion made himself comfortable there at mid-range. There we go. Got numbers to him that time and come up with the steal. Ah, Walker picked the pocket. Fumble from Wilson. He’s a premium look for Milo Doyle. Tipped in by Edwards on the clock for the pals to try and manufacture something. Williamson downhill with a full head of steam scores. To the half for Zion. Look at this speed. He’s a little grumpy with the officials. He’s impressing everyone every time we see him on a floor here in Australia. Walk it away. Delaney off the Doyle feed. Backto back buck. It’s Melbourne United. Melman have clawed their way back in and it’s just six points separate the two teams now. Looney with a nice find from Jordan P. You won’t go in a plan about what you want to do with your substitution in the second half. The competitiveness even if the coach coach wants to do the right thing. Willie Green Willie Green’s a competitive guy too. Shout out to Casper Wear and Josh Boon will be watching somewhere in the world. They were awesome that night for me. Benefit surprise there. I’m sure Kyle B was expecting it to be honest. Mei down the lane and scores. Important. Couple of minutes here for Melbourne. Chris Levik into the corner for Milton Doyle. Who’s got 19 points to lead all scorers? Yeah. [Applause] Willie Green looks a little frustrated with the Pelicans right now, but he’ll enjoy that. Again, that’s what we were talking about with Ray before, the the ill-advised threes was just it doesn’t make the game look good. Whereas the pick and roll with the lob that makes the game look good. Carlo Makovic and Trey Alexander out there for the pals. Turnover off to the races. His fears this will be good for his confidence. He needed that. My goodness. And I mean, I’ve said it before, but good kick out pass. Tanner grabs the three and now it gets interesting. Pelicans need a bucket on this trip down the floor. Alexander looking for a tough finish. Shoemate came flying in and stuffed it and that is underrated. The New Orleans Pelicans will come away winners tonight 107 to 97. A gallant performance from Melbourne United who pushed him all the way.
