The invincible kryptonite of basketball

When he registered the series trumpet, he discovered that the role players of the Pelicans had been registered.

These trumpets have been active since the offseason, and now they are popping up again.

His previous aliases were speculated to be him, and he rarely used them anymore. Now whoever this is, they are obviously throwing the blame at him!

But he can only suffer a dark loss in this kind of thing.

But it's not entirely a bad thing. At least the media ranked the Warriors ahead of the Pelicans, which made him feel a little refreshed and gave him confidence.

He failed last season. If he can kill the four-star Pelicans, it will definitely be fun for a long time.

……

ESPN's forecast has attracted a new round of public opinion, and amidst such discussions, the curtain of the 2017-2018 season officially kicked off.

Because of the strength of the Pelicans, and because of ESPN's prediction, fans have paid unprecedented attention to the Pelicans.

You must know that in the eyes of fans, ESPN is just a gimmick, and there is simply not enough to watch other teams except the Pelicans in the new season.

The opponent of the Pelicans' first game is the Thunder.

In ESPN's strength list, although the Thunder did not form the Big Three, they still ranked sixth after signing Griffin, higher than the Bucks.

The Bucks were beaten twice by the Pelicans in the preseason, and fans are looking forward to the opening game.

On the night of the game, according to statistics from ESPN and TNT, the ratings of the Pelicans' opening game broke a record high before the game started.

Correspondingly, almost no one watched the opening games of other games.

The Pelicans really focused everyone's attention, and also deprived all the interests of other teams at once.

This level of attention is also to be expected.

There has never been such a strong lineup of the Pelicans in history. No matter how ESPN deliberately blacks out, the eyes of the fans are not blind.

Tang Tian defended one after another, No. 1 in the league.

Butler defends one after another, and the top ten in the league is close to the top five.

Davis has three teams and two defenses, and the top [-] in the league is close to the top [-].

Walker has three teams, top [-] in the league.

Not to mention strength and tacit understanding, the personal honor of last season alone is unparalleled.

Not to mention the four preseason games, Siakam, Dedmon, Bojan, Brogdon, Kuzma, Harrell and others have all proved their strength one after another.

And the regular season is not a preseason game. The Pelicans abused the Bucks Big Three in the preseason game. Now they are playing the dual-core Thunder in the opening game. It is exciting to think about it.

Chapter 67 Tang Tian, ​​throwing magnesium powder (third update!)

The ratings of the night hit a new high before the start of the game, and the New Orleans Arena was crowded with people.

Above the arena, the Pelicans have put up a new poster, showing the domineering figures of the Big Four.

And entering the arena, next to Tang Tian and Davis on the wall, the figures of Walker and Butler also appeared.

Walker had a murderous look in his eyes, while Butler opened his hands to lock everything.

The aura inside and outside is destined to be a carnival season for the Pelicans.

Fans screamed as they entered the arena.

Perhaps for them, being a Pelican fan is the happiest thing in their fan career!

Before the admission ceremony, the award ceremony of the championship ring was held on the spot.

Gail Benson replaced Tom Benson with the second-year championship ring for the Pelicans.

Compared with the first year, this year's rings are not too creative, but they are bigger and more valuable.

Alliance president Xiao Hua also appeared at the awards ceremony.

A very interesting thing is that because of the grievances with Xiao Hua, since Tang Tian, ​​the members of the Pelicans have always looked at Xiao Hua provocatively after receiving the ring.

When Xiao Hua was angry, he had the desire to kill in his heart, but on the surface he still forced a smile.

His one-year inspection period is very critical, and he dare not openly tear his face with the Pelicans.

After the awards ceremony, the Pelicans' second championship banner was hoisted over the arena.

The words 2016~2017 are next to 2015~2016.

Having won the championship for two consecutive seasons, the Pelicans have become one of the most dominant teams in the new century!

The cheers of the fans were overwhelming and lasted for a long time.

They know that this is far from the limit of the Pelicans, and the current four-star lineup is the bottom of the dynasty!

Xiao Hua stood there heartbroken.

He already knew about the ratings of the live broadcast, and he had previously answered calls from the owners of several teams who were playing the opening game at the same time.

Those bosses have threatened him that if this situation does not improve, it is impossible for them to vote for him next year.

In other words, if this trend continues, Tatum's fate will be his fate, and his fate may be even worse.

It's just that he can't do anything now, he can only silently curse the Pelicans for their poor performance.

After the ring awarding ceremony, the scene followed to enter the entrance ceremony.

The starters of both sides have appeared one after another.

On the Thunder side, Westbrook and Oladipo on the outside, Robertson and Griffin on the striker, and Adams at the center.

The biggest change in this lineup compared to last season is the addition of Griffin, which is also their biggest reinforcement.

For the Pelicans, Walker, Tang Tian, ​​Butler, Davis, Dedmon!

Four stars come out together, Walker starts, Tang Tian lasts.

The cheers of the fans at the scene were wave after wave, and they were extremely excited.

Since the Pelicans formed brother basketball, after waiting for a summer, the fans finally ushered in their official game!

The game will start immediately, and the players will appear on the field one after another.

Tang Tian was the last one to play.

At this moment, something that no one expected happened.

After Tang Tian wiped his hands with the chalk, he didn't go directly to the stage as usual. Instead, he grabbed a handful, faced the audience, and threw them fiercely into the air.

There was a flash of lights on the sidelines. Although this scene came suddenly, it was still captured by many media reporters.

"What is he doing?!"

In the commentary booth, Kenny Smith was stunned.

Throwing magnesium powder, this is James' exclusive action!

Despite the start of last season, James has stated that he will not continue to use this action until he wins the championship again.

But what do you mean by Tang Tian making this move now? !

The action of grabbing James?

This is trouble!

Tang Tian was calm, and turned around to play after throwing.

That's right, he's just messing around!

He just wants the Pelicans to take all the attention and topics in the new season!

The NBA is like a big pot of food, and the Pelicans will eat everything in the new season!

Other teams, those who have to drink soup, go!If you don't have anything to drink, stay cool and consume less energy!

After the fans reacted, the whistle continued.

Cool!

This is the feeling of crushing everything and having everything!

On the Thunder side, the players had a somewhat helpless feeling on their faces.

The crushing situation of the Pelicans in the preseason made them feel that they had lost before the battle.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Pelicans are like a mountain standing in their hearts, they cannot climb it, and they are overwhelmed.

"beep!"

With the referee's whistle, Davis turned the ball back to the Pelicans' half, officially kicking off the new season.

Walker held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt organization.

The Thunder's defensive strength is very high. The characteristic of this team is defense, and what they are best at is defensive counterattacks.

But on the first ball, Tang Tian broke through Robertson and scored with a one-on-one emergency stop.

Walker, Butler, and Davis all have strong defensive restraints. Compared with last season, Tang Tian rarely has a one-on-one chance.

And such an opportunity, for him, is equivalent to a chance to score points.

Looking back, the Pelicans still put up a 2-3 zone defense just like they did in the preseason.

The Thunder's perimeter ability is the same as the Lakers they encountered before, not very good.

Robertson's emptied three-pointer was a three-point shot, and Dedmon got the rebound directly.

The pressure given by the Pelicans at the beginning naturally affected their performance!

The Pelicans' offense, Dedmon stood on the three-point line and pulled Adams out.

Dedmon's three-point shooting percentage in the preseason was close to 40%. The Thunder also knew this, and Adams didn't dare to let it go.

Walker picks and rolls with Davis on the right side. After breaking the ball, he accelerates to break through Griffin, and his iconic drift low hand hits the board.

Griffin couldn't cover it with short hands and hit Walker directly.

The referee whistled to signal Griffin's defensive foul.

After hitting the board, the ball bounced and fell into the net bag!

Walker's 2+1 was completed!

There were constant cheers at the scene.

Walker has been playing in the Eastern Conference before, and they are not very familiar with them, but from the preseason to the present, they have a new understanding.

This is definitely a scoring guard with explosive offensive ability!

Walker's extra penalty hit steadily, and the Pelicans started 5-0!

"Defense! Defense!"

In just two rounds, the emotions of the fans have been fully mobilized, and the spontaneous cheers and cheers are overwhelming.

The Thunder still couldn't do much about the 2-3 zone defense. Robertson didn't dare to shoot again when he was emptied, so he gave the ball to Oladipo.

Oladipo used Adams' pick-and-roll to break through.

Dedmond didn't come out, but Butler directly assisted in the defense.

Oladipo broke into the three-second zone one-on-one, and was completely blocked by Butler. Finally, he wanted to turn around and pass the ball, but was cut off by Davis!

Terrible defensive pressure!

Fortunately, the Thunder retreated in time and did not give the Pelicans a chance to play a fast break.

Entering the positional battle, Walker continued to hold the ball and play pick-and-rolls with Davis. The Thunder chose to double-team Walker this time.

Walker jumped up in the air and stuffed the ball from Griffin's armpit to the middle. Davis followed up in the middle after dismantling the ball. After receiving the ball, he dunked with both hands and scored!

7 is better than 0!

Following the Bucks, the Thunder were also rubbed on the floor by the Pelicans!

The difference is, they are in the regular season!
