Chapter 1155 The Real Pelicans

This is also the sense of glory of a wealthy family.

This is why the Lakers and Celtics attract players.

Although New Orleans, where the Pelicans are located, is a small city, the ball market has grown in recent years, with excessive broadcast contracts and this dynasty flag.

It seems to be the new giant in the league.

The fans' emotions were ignited, and the cheers at the opening ceremony lasted for a long time.

The starting lineups for both teams have been released one after another.

The Pelicans are the same as in the preseason, with Brogdon and Tang Tian partnering on the outside, Green and Davis on the front, and Dedmon at center.

The Rockets have made adjustments. Paul and Harden are still on the outside, but Ennis and Tucker are partnered on the front line, with center Capela.

It can be seen that although he did not pay attention to defense, D'Antoni still felt pain after being poked in the penalty area in the preseason.

The starting lineup from both sides came on stage one after another, and Tang Tian continued to sprinkle magnesium powder, bringing the emotion of the scene to its peak.

Speaking of this season, the Lakers have a significantly higher probability of winning than the Pelicans.

James is also likely to win his second career championship.

In this context, Tang Tian actually insisted on throwing magnesium powder.

You must know that James has said before that he will not throw away the powder before regaining the championship.

According to the same logic as the inverse proposition of mathematics, when he throws away his powder again, it will be the day he regains the championship.

The person who will be slapped in the face will be Tang Tian.

Tang Tian didn't care at all and continued to throw his magnesium powder. This was really tough.

This can also really drive the emotions of the fans at the scene.

The Pelicans players are also excited.

The crushing game last season was great, but not being favored by others made them full of fighting spirit.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Davis returned the ball to the Pelicans half, officially kicking off the new season.

Brogdon controlled the ball in the frontcourt and then gave it to Tang Tian.

With Walker leaving the team, the Pelicans' tactics have become simpler, but also more purposeful.

When Tang Tian is on the court, the ball will be left to him to control.

Tang Tian directly passed Ennis with a butterfly step, and then went straight into the hinterland of the penalty area.

The Rockets' defense is terrible. Let's just get straight to the point and poke it in.

However, the Rockets were well prepared and tightened the wings inward early.

Tang Tian passed the ball to Green in the bottom corner without looking at anyone.

In a familiar scene from the preseason, Green got an open three-point opportunity in the corner.

"Bang!"

However, Green's shot was a bit tight, and the basketball bounced off the back edge of the basket.

Capela protected the defensive rebound.

The Pelicans' first offense came to nothing.

The Rockets directly pushed for a defensive counterattack, and Paul assisted Harden for a layup in the frontcourt.

Tang Tian continued to hold the ball in the frontcourt.

This time he reached out and made a tactical gesture.

It's also a breakthrough, but Brogdon and Green on the weak side have off-ball tactical movement around the pick-and-roll.

A sudden ball, Brogdon's catch and three-point shot.

The trajectory of the ball is pretty straight, but the force is a little stronger.

"Bang!"

The basketball hit the frame and Tucker struggled to grab the defensive rebound.

The Pelicans failed to score on two consecutive offenses.

There was a commotion on the sidelines.

The Pelicans' tactics are the same as in the preseason. They use Tang Tian's strong personal attack power to attract defenses and then create shooting opportunities for the outside.

In the preseason, Green made two consecutive baskets in the opening game, forcing the Rockets to dare not shrink.

But in the regular season, Green and Brogdon are both strong, and the Rockets are not afraid at all.

Fortunately, the defense retreated in time and did not give the Rockets a chance for a fast break.

Capela gave Paul a pick-and-roll, and Paul was out of position to meet Dedmon's fadeaway jumper.

"Uh-huh!"

The basketball goes hollow into the net.

In the preseason, the Pelicans beat the Rockets 8-0 in the opening game, and in the regular season the Rockets counterattacked the Pelicans and started 4-0.

This is where things have turned.

The Pelicans' offense still uses the same tactics. This time it is Green who takes the ball.

"Bang!"

Still didn't get in.

The real Zhang Tielin.

Fortunately, Davis grabbed the ball early, flew to grab the offensive rebound, and then threw it to Dedmon at the top of the key.

Dedmon took another shot when he had an open three-point opportunity.

The angle of this shot is good, but like Green and Brogdon before, it was too heavy.

"Bang!"

The basketball hit the back edge and bounced high. Capela stretched out his long arms to protect the defensive rebound again.

There was a lot of excitement on the sidelines.

After the Pelicans opened the game, they hit four consecutive irons from the outside!

The first quarter lasted 5 minutes. Except for Davis who scored 2 points on a tip-in, the Pelicans were all on the outside.

On the other hand, the Rockets played more and more vigorously, scoring 12 points in 5 minutes.

12 to 2.

Some people thought about this score before the game, but I'm afraid no one thought that the Rockets would be in the lead!

On the hotline, many fans have already begun to gloat.

"I told you to let Walker and Butler go. Look, this is what will happen. I really think the Spurs are stupid. There must be a reason for trading Green!"

"The regular season is still different from the preseason. The Pelicans are dumbfounded now. They can't shoot from the outside, and Tang Tian can't open either!"

"ESPN was slapped in the face again. Last season they ranked the Pelicans lower in the third row, but now they clearly rank the Pelicans higher!"

"Jordan's dominance of the league had a lot to do with Pippen, Kukoc, and Cole. There is no real one-on-five on the basketball court!"

"It's good to hear that the Pelicans have dominated the league for almost three years. It's time to make room for the Lakers. Now is the era of the Lakers!"

"Lakers championship!"

…

Stevens reached out and called a timeout.

Perhaps it was because the championship rings were awarded in the home opener, but the Pelicans players were obviously a little too excited.

The most intuitive manifestation is that the balls they throw are all too big.

After the timeout, the Pelicans made substitution adjustments. Crowder and Siakam replaced Green and Dedmon.

This substitution adjustment is a bit early and looks a bit strange.

Normally, Brogdon and Green don't feel good, so two new pitchers should be replaced.

It can only be said that Stevens' tactical strategy is not so easy to figure out.

Tang Tian controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and the Pelicans' tactics changed. Crowder and Siakam set up a double pick-and-roll in the high post.

Tang Tian chose to go to Siakam's side to get inside.

At this moment, an interesting scene occurred on the field.

Crowder blocked Harden, Siakam blocked Ennis, Brogdon entangled Paul, and even Davis under the basket blocked Capela with his back immediately.

Tang Tian accelerated and squeezed past Tucker, rushed inside and jumped into the air.

No one on the Rockets can defend well.

Tangtian Dapeng spreads its wings.

"Bang!"

A one-handed battle ax violently destroys the frame.

Tang Tian scored his first goal of the game!

The crowd cheered.

This dunk is enough to boost morale!

D'Antoni stood up from the bench.

Although it was only one round, he already knew the purpose of Stevens's substitutions.

This is to let the other four people play support, creating an absolute environment for Tang Tian, ​​the super ADC, to deal damage!
