The ratings of the night hit a record high before the start of the game, and there were also crowds of people inside and outside the New Orleans Arena.

Above the stadium, the Pelicans have played a new poster, and the figures of the Big Four are domineering.

When you enter the stadium, Tang Tian and Davis are on the wall, Walker and Butler also appear.

Walker looked murderous, while Butler opened his hands to lock everything.

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

Fans also screamed when they entered the stadium.

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

Before the entrance ceremony, the award ceremony for the championship ring was held on site.

Gail Benson presented the Pelicans with the second-year championship ring in place of Tom Benson.

Compared with the first year, the ring creativity this year is not very big, but the advantage is that it is more weight and more valuable.

Alliance President Xiao Hua also appeared at the award ceremony.

One very interesting thing is that because of the grudge between him and Xiao Hua, the Pelicans players have looked at Xiao Hua provocatively since Tang Tian.

Xiao Hua was so angry that he had the intention of killing people in his heart, but he still forced himself to smile on the surface.

His inspection period this year is very critical, and he dare not openly break up with the Pelicans.

After the award ceremony, the Pelicans' second championship flag was hung over the arena.

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

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

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

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

Xiao Hua stood there and felt heartbroken.

He already knew about the live viewership, and he had previously answered several calls from the bosses of the team who played the opening game at the same time.

Those bosses have threatened him that if this situation does not improve, they will not be able to vote for him next year.

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

But he can't do anything now, so he can only curse the Pelicans in his heart for not performing well.

After the ring presentation ceremony, the entrance ceremony will be entered on the spot.

Both sides have appeared one after another.

On the Thunder, Westbrook and Oladipo on the outside, Robertson and Griffin on the forward line, and center Adams.

The biggest change in this lineup compared to last season is that there is an extra Griffin, which is also their biggest reinforcement.

Here on the Pelicans, Walker, Tang Tian, ​​Butler, Davis, and Dedmont!

Four stars appear together, Walker begins, and Tang Tian ends.

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

Starting from the Pelicans forming brothers basketball, waiting for a summer, the fans finally ushered in their official game!

The game begins soon and the players are on the stage one after another.

Tang Tian was the last one to play.

At this moment, something that everyone did not expect happened.

After Tang Tian wiped his hands with magnesium powder, he did not go directly on the stage as usual, but grabbed a handful of it, and then threw it into the air against the audience.

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

"What is he doing?!"

Kenny Smith was shocked in the commentary seat.

Magnesium powder throwing is James' exclusive action!

Although last season started, James had already stated that he would not continue to use this action until he won the championship again.

But now what does Tang Tian mean by doing this action?!

The action of stealing James?

This is a troublesome!

Tang Tian was calm and turned around after throwing it away.

That's right, he's just causing trouble!

He is going to let the Pelicans capture all the attention and topics in the new season!

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

For other teams, there are those who need to drink soup! If you don’t have to drink, you can stay where you can cool down and consume less physical energy!

The fans at the scene reacted and kept whistling.

Cool!

It’s this kind of feeling of crushing everything and having everything!

On the Thunder team, the players had some helplessness on their faces.

The Pelicans' crushing situation in the preseason made them lose before the battle.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Pelicans are like a mountain standing on their hearts, unable to climb over and overwhelm them.

"beep!"

As the referee whistle sounded, Davis pushed the ball back to the Pelicans' half, officially opening the curtain of the new season.

Walker pushed the ball to the frontcourt organization.

The Thunder team gives a high defensive intensity. The characteristic of this team is defense, and what they are best at is defensive counterattacks.

However, Tang Tian broke through Robertson for the first goal and scored one-on-one.

Walker, Butler and Davis all have strong defensive control. Compared with last season, Tang Tian has a rare opportunity to have one-to-one.

And such an opportunity is equivalent to a chance to give him points.

Looking back, the Pelicans still played a 2-3 joint defense just like the preseason.

The Thunder's outside abilities are the same as those of the Lakers they met before, and are not very good.

Robertson's three-pointer was released and he was not involved in three points, and Dedmond got the rebound.

The pressure the Pelicans put at the beginning naturally affected their performance!

The Pelicans' offense, Dedmont pulled Adams out at the three-point line.

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

Walker was on the right and Davis picked and rolled the ball. After he dismantled the ball, he accelerated to hit Griffin, and his signature drifted low-handed hit the board.

Griffin's hand was short and could not cover it, and directly hit Walker's hand.

The referee whistle sounded, signaling Griffin's defensive foul.

After the ball hit the board, it also rebounded and fell into the net bag!

Walker's 2+1 is made!

Cheers were constantly coming.

Walker has been playing in the East before, and they are not very familiar with it, but from the preseason to now, they have a completely new understanding.

This is definitely a shooting guard with explosive offensive capabilities!

Walker made a steadily free throw, and the Pelicans started 5-0!

"Defense! Defense!"

In just two rounds, the fans' emotions were completely mobilized, and the spontaneous cheering was overwhelming.

The Thunder still had no choice but to face 2-3 joint defense. Robertson was released and dared not shoot again, so he gave the ball to Oladipo.

Oladipo took advantage of Adams to break through.

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

Oladipo broke into the three-second zone one-on-one, but was defended by Butler and didn't know how to get his phone out. Finally, he wanted to turn around and pass the ball, but was cut off by Davis!

Terrifying defensive pressure!

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

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

Walker jumped up and stuffed the ball from Griffin's armpit into the middle. Davis followed up in the middle after breaking the ball, and after receiving the ball, he dunked his hands!

7 to 0!

After the Bucks, the Thunder were also rubbed on the floor by the Pelicans!
Chapter completed!
