The invincible kryptonite of basketball

That night, the Pelicans ushered in the season opener at home.

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

The ring of the four consecutive crowns is a little bigger than in previous years.

And next to the ring, the words "Four consecutive crowns" are also very conspicuous.

The Pelicans are excited too, from Davis to Brogdon to Ding Yanyuhang and Mitchell Robinson.

Their happiness is completely understandable. In the finals last season, Stevens gave each of them a chance to play.

In this way, at the awards ceremony tonight, the rings they can receive are all with their names on them, which has a very different commemorative meaning.

Gail Benson presents the ring to the Pelicans.

At the beginning of the coaching staff, Stevens, Nash and others all received rings one after another.

Then came the players, starting with Davis and ending with Mitchell Robinson.

Everyone who got the ring couldn't help bowing their heads and kissing.

After everyone else had finished collecting, Tang Tian was the last to appear on stage.

The cheers at the scene were overwhelming.

Tang Tian's contribution to the city of New Orleans goes without saying, and his contribution to the NBA is also obvious to all.

Even in the past Morey incident, he saved the NBA.

Although he retired, the cheers he enjoys now are completely incomparable to others.

Tang Tian was also very moved.

Sports is sports, and like music, it is a way of communication across countries. If you look at it alone, it is still the most beautiful thing.

Tang Tian took the ring from Benson, and after the two embraced, he kissed the ring like everyone else, and then put it on his chest.

The cheers were even louder.

This is also a historic moment.

The championship ring is usually paid by the team, and the owner distributes it to the management, coaching staff and players, but Tang Tian's current identity is a small boss.

He also became the first owner in NBA history to win a championship ring.

Just like recruiting Durant in the summer, even if he retires, he is still the same Tang Tian, ​​still setting new records.

The first thousand and 360 chapters and eight Kevin Tangtian successor Durant

After the rings were handed out, the unveiling ceremony of the champion flag followed.

When the championship banner representing the 2018~2019 season was unveiled, the cheers on the scene reached a peak.

From 2015~2016 to the current 2018~2019, four consecutive flags, four consecutive championships!

The Pelicans deserve to be the hottest team in the league!

After the award ceremony, after the warm-up, the scene entered the appearance ceremony.

The starting lineups of the two teams have been released one after another.

On the Lakers side, Simmons and Middleton on the outside, James and Randall on the front, and Horford on the center.

This lineup has a balanced offense and defense inside, and its strength is not much worse than last season.

For the Pelicans, Alexander and Brogdon on the outside, Durant and Davis on the striker, and Gasol at the center.

This lineup does not talk about the outside line, but only the front line and the inside line. It is one of the most luxurious in the league.

Before the game started, the scene showed Tang Tian, ​​Olsen and their two sons on the sidelines.

Both children are more than two years old, and thanks to their parents' genes, they both look exceptionally good-looking.

When they appeared on the big LED screen, it also caused a burst of cheers from the scene.

Retiring after success and at the pinnacle of his life, Tang Tian is now one of the most envied objects of fans.

Tang Tian also smiled and reached out to greet the fans.

For him, the current home game has become a way to spend time with his family on vacation.

The game began immediately, and both teams started to play one after another.

Gasol flicked the ball back up half court at halftime, giving the Pelicans the first chance.

Alexander came up to play a pick-and-roll with Gasol, and returned the ball to Gasol after a breakthrough. Gasol faced Simmons with a three-pointer.

The timing of this shot was well chosen, and the interference from Simmons was limited.

"Dangdang!"

Unfortunately, the ball was not scored.

Horford just retreated to the basket, and then protected the defensive rebound after getting stuck.

Simmons advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and James organized at the top of the arc.

The Pelicans did a good job defensively. Although there is no bug in Tang Tian's self-contained system, Stevens is a very good defensive coach.

James saw that the tactics couldn't come out, and Horford picked and rolled in.

The same is the return after the breakthrough, but the difference is that the Pelicans' defense rotation is faster, and Horford was interfered by Alexander before he even made a shot.

Horford chose to pass the ball to Simmons on the outside, who got an open three-pointer.

There was a burst of booing at the scene.

Simmons didn't have a three-pointer, and the defense was half successful.

But to their surprise, Simmons didn't hesitate from outside, and directly shot a three-pointer!

"Shh!"

The key is that the ball is scored!

There was a commotion on the sidelines.

This result is too unexpected.

Tang Tian in the stands also showed a look of surprise.

Simmons didn't make many three-pointers in the World Cup, but judging by his posture, he should have been practicing in private.

The hard work paid off, and after two years of practice, it finally yielded results.

But this is obviously not good news for the Pelicans.

Simmons, who can shoot three-pointers, is a great addition to the strength of the Lakers.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that with such Simmons, the strength of the Lakers is not lost at all last season.

Davis's low post in the frontcourt was interfered by Horford and did not score.

James returned to defense and received the rebound.

Compared to Lopez, Horford's role on the defensive end is significantly greater.

The Lakers pushed for a fast break, James was fast, he rushed to the frontcourt one-stop, and scored the ball against Alexander.

He did, as he said before the game, become lighter and faster after losing weight.

5 is better than 0!

The Lakers gave the Pelicans a big blow in the away game, which also caused a restlessness in the scene.

Durant missed the ball in the frontcourt running position, and Brogdon missed the three-pointer after receiving the ball.

Looking back at the Lakers' positional battle, the Pelicans did not dare to let Simmons go, which also gave James a chance. He quickly reached the inside and scored a layup.

After losing weight, James looks a little unstoppable.

7 is better than 0!

This is no longer a slap in the face, but a complete upper hand!

There was a commotion at the scene.

Many people began to turn their attention to Tang Tian in the stands.

In the past, Tang Tian came out to help the Pelicans take the initiative at the beginning of the game, and even the unfavorable situation was broken by Tang Tian.

But now that Tang Tian is gone, the Pelicans will lose their backbone!

They all looked at Tang Tian now, as if expecting him to take off his clothes and go directly to the game.

But at this moment, Tang Tian turned his attention to Durant on the court.

The Lakers' front line and interior strength are second only to the Pelicans. It is difficult for Davis to score in the interior. Now the most suitable person to open the situation is Durant.

Stevens also stood up from the bench and made a new tactical gesture.

The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and after pulling away, Durant asked for the ball in the high position on the right.

James is on single defense.

Durant hit the back a few times and didn't find a good chance. After turning around, he chose a face-up emergency stop jumper.

James reacted quickly after losing weight, completely blocking Durant's shooting sight.

"Shh!"

But Durant threw the ball in against James!

He had the experience of scoring key goals against Tang Tian's defense in the World Cup finals.

Just like Tang Tian said, after this World Cup, he really matured and became much stronger!

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

Durant helped the Pelicans break the scoring drought!

This goal also boosted the morale of the Pelicans. Davis assisted in destroying Simmons' layup and protecting the defensive rebound.

Looking back, Durant continued to play with the ball. This time he chose to break through, squeezed past James' strong layup and scored!

His overall competitive state looks quite fiery!

There are already a large number of fans on the scene cheering for Durant.

Chaoju is to stand up at the critical moment!

James double-teamed and scored Middleton. The latter made a three-pointer from the bottom corner, but was blown by the referee to step on the line.

There were cheers and whistles.

One goal straight, the ball straight, after Durant scored two goals in a row, luck began to stand on the side of the Pelicans.

Durant continued to play singles in the frontcourt, and this time Randall directly assisted in the defense.

Durant's double-teaming turned and fell back.

"Dangdang!"

This time his shot missed.

However, after Randall came out of the defense, the Lakers were empty inside, and Davis took off the offensive rebound when Horford and Gasol were stuck.

That's when he noticed Durant moved beyond the three-point line.

The Lakers defense was drawn to shrink as he grabbed the offensive rebound, and no one noticed when Durant moved beyond the three-point line.

He noticed it, and passed the ball directly.

Durant caught the ball and made a three-pointer from the outside.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, Durant made another three-pointer!

After the opening, he made 4 of 3 shots and scored 7 points in a row!

7 to 7, the Pelicans also beat the Lakers 7 to 0, tying the score!
