Chapter 1036 Bad News and Good News (Third Update!)

"Haha, feel good now. I'm not a Lei Cai, but you are also a Huo Cai!"

"Goodness is relative. Against the Pelicans, the other 29 teams in the league are bad!"

"Actually, four stars are nothing. The Warriors are also four stars. The main thing is that they have a natural understanding, no injuries, they can play without the ball, they have defense, they have aggressiveness, and they have a calm guy. leader……"

"You missed one, and there are substitutes who can form a starting team..."

"There is also the UConn Trident! The effect is so good, I will definitely use it more in the future. UConn fans are lucky!"

"This is the third strength in the league╮()╭"

"This joke... I'm afraid ESPN will be slapped in the face for a whole season!"

"Speaking of consecutive defeats to the Thunder and Rockets, are we really aiming for 82 wins?"

"82 is too difficult. Due to injuries and some uncontrollable factors, it is possible to lose one or two games. I am really looking forward to 80+ wins. Then reaching it will be a new dimension!"

"Then the NBA will really end. Xiao Hua is afraid it will be a pill!"

"Didn't Durant choose to take a more difficult path than LeBron? Xiao Hua chose to take an equally difficult path to become president~"

"(ω)(ω)"

…

There was inevitably another wave of discussion from fans on social media after the game.

Although they are both big wins, the opponents are different!

They are all torture, but the styles and positions are different, and the pleasure and experience they bring are completely different!

In the locker room after the game, the Pelicans players were also cheering and screaming in celebration.

Although before the start of the season, they expected that the new season would be easy.

But I haven’t been in it, so I really don’t know how easy it can be!

As soon as Brogdon came out of the shower, Tang Tian slapped his head hard, and then Davis slapped his butt hard.

Tang Tian and Davis have implemented what Duncan and Ginobili did.

But Brogdon deserves it tonight. He is the second-highest scorer on the Pelicans, higher than Walker, Butler and Davis.

After celebrating and taking a shower, Tang Tian and Walker said hello and left the locker room first.

He has to have a late-night snack with Ariza tonight.

Ariza felt very uncomfortable after the game.

It feels really uncomfortable to be traded by the Pelicans and still have to be abused by the Pelicans.

As a friend, Tang Tian still wanted to comfort him.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I called Ariza and then stopped by the convenience store next door.

After waiting for a while, Ariza came.

"I brought you a gift."

As soon as Ariza sat down, Tang Tian took out two things from under the table.

Ariza was quite surprised when Tang Tian mentioned the gift. After all, this was Houston, so he was the host and Tang Tian was the guest.

But when he saw what Tang Tian took out, he couldn't help laughing.

Those were clearly two boxes of Master Kong instant noodles!

"Laotan pickled cabbage flavor, the most delicious kind."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

"I've only ever had braised beef."

Ariza also smiled and replied.

With a small joke, most of Ariza's depression about losing was gone, and the two of them returned to their days as teammates.

There is actually a lot to talk about.

The current situation within the Pelicans team, and Ariza’s feelings after arriving in Houston.

In the middle of the conversation, Ariza went out to answer a phone call.

By the time the two of them finished eating, it was already more than an hour later.

The two people got up and left the restaurant.

At this moment, Tang Tian saw someone waiting for them outside.

Zhou Qi.

"Zhou called earlier and said he was looking for you. I told him the address."

Ariza said.

It seemed that the call he received earlier was from Zhou Qi.

Tang Tian nodded.

Ariza and Zhou Qi greeted each other, then took a taxi and left.

"Brother Tang, I want to train with you next summer!"

Compared with yesterday, Zhou Qi became obviously more proactive today.

It seems that the old saying is right, only after experiencing the lash of society can people make progress!

Zhou Qi had a better chance this time than he did in the last game, but his performance was just as bad as before. With Tang Tian's reminder, he finally took the initiative to improve.

"You may not be in the NBA next summer, and your contract this season is not guaranteed."

Tang Tian's words made Zhou Qi's sense of urgency even more obvious.

"I'll go back and compile a set of training methods suitable for you. You can start practicing during the season."

Tang Tian didn't dampen his ambition and continued.

Yi Jianlian is a successful example before Zhou Qi. Summarizing his experience and adding some of Tang Tian's understanding should be very effective.

Speaking of which, Tang Tian also did similar things for Whiteside.

"This is my last favor for you. As a member of the national team, it's up to you whether you can seize the opportunity."

Tang Tian continued.

It was Zhou Qi's change and initiative that allowed him to choose what to do, but that was all he could do.

After all, he is really just a teammate of the national team.

"Thank you, Brother Tang!"

Zhou Qi nodded vigorously after hearing this. He looked like he was really going to give it a try this time.

The Pelicans have won consecutive games and Pelicans fans are excited.

However, Xiao Hua's pressure is increasing exponentially.

The Pelicans' crazy performance sucked away not only the attention of the fans, but also the patience of the team owners.

If this momentum continues, he may not have to wait until the end of the season before he will be jointly fired by the team owners.

However, not all the news is bad.

After the start of the game, the performance of the two teams still made him happy.

One is the Knicks.

After Howard was reimbursed for the season, the Knicks suffered two consecutive losses after the start of the season.

And the losers were all teams like the Pistons and Bulls that didn't make the playoffs last season.

In addition to the reason for Howard's absence, another reason is Anthony's sluggish state.

Speaking of which, Anthony is already 33 years old and had been fighting with a knee injury last season.

This season it seems that he has lost his explosiveness and his strength has also declined sharply.

This is good news because if they continue at this momentum, the Knicks will definitely fall out of contention for the championship or even the playoffs this season.

The Thunder have been interested in Anthony before, and he has been trying his best to promote it.

The current decline of the Knicks will greatly accelerate this progress.

One is the Mavericks.

Speaking of Starlight, among several super teams, the Mavericks have always been the weakest.

This past offseason, they even traded Butler, the strongest player on the team.

However, in the past two games, they defeated the Spurs and Bucks successively, and their performance was very eye-catching.

ESPN's pre-season rankings make people complain, but their evaluation of the Mavericks is still relatively accurate.

Both Conley and Holiday are known for their stability. The offensive and defensive backcourt formed by the two combines great pressure on opponents.

Jokic also lost weight this past summer and switched to the fourth position. He and Embiid are overflowing with talent.

And his organization has also been greatly utilized among a group of quasi-All-Star teammates.

Coupled with Carlisle's clever hands, the strength shown by the Mavericks really has the possibility of arm wrestling with the Pelicans.
