Ross's outbreak was very sudden. After Budenholzer realized that he adjusted his defense and double-teamed Ross, and several of Ross' passes turned into assists.

Ross is really different from Ross before.

Although they both scored a lot, he used to focus on attack and most of the passive passes were passive passes that he did not get out of his phone after taking off.

But now, he observes his teammates' positions before breaking through, and the pass selection is just right.

After so many twists and turns, he finally evolved.

And his touch is good in this section, and the Bucks have no choice but to do anything to him.

Budenholzer paced back and forth on the sidelines.

Brogden's absence and Tang Tian's absence were originally an excellent opportunity for the Bucks to approach the score.

But he never expected Ross to explode.

Moreover, this outbreak continued throughout the entire substitute connection, from the end of the first quarter to the beginning of the second quarter.

As a result, the Pelicans' lead in this period has increased instead of decreasing. By the time the main players of both sides come back, the gap has become 18 points.

Wait until the Pelicans' main player comes back, after a round of output, the half-time difference between the two teams reaches 25 points again.

The Bucks fans at the scene were filled with despair.

The promised battle to avenge the shame will eventually let them see the home team being abused!

In the second half, the Bucks' performance was obviously not as good as the first half.

The difference in points behind is too big, and the players' mentality fluctuates greatly. Horford can't be inspired by it alone.

At the end of the third quarter, the difference between the two teams is already outside 30.

Waiting for the substitute connection in the third and fourth quarters, Boyang and Siakam found out to play a 10-0 offensive and directly announced that the game ended early.

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Bucks 122-88 away, winning the first victory after the All-Star game.

The Pelicans scored 7 players in double digits, Tang Tian scored the team's highest 23 points, and Ross scored 14 points and 4 assists.

The Bucks also scored in double digits with four-star scores, and Horford contributed comprehensive data of 21 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks in his debut.

But except for the four of them, no one in the team scored in double digits.

The performance of substitutes has become a major factor in determining the situation of the game.

But no matter what, the Bucks were slaughtered by the Pelicans four times in a season as an Eastern Conference team, and are destined to be the worst team in the Eastern Conference.

Fans were hotly discussed after the game, and Ross was mentioned more than once.

With better performances with more playing time, Windy City Roses have a chance to bloom in New Orleans.

Time flies, and it is mid-March in a blink of an eye.

The Pelicans continued to make great strides in the past half month, winning all 10 games, and averaged 20+ per game.

Including before the All-Star Game, after they were over 40 consecutive victories, they ushered in another 29 consecutive victories!

The 70 wins are a foregone conclusion.

They really have a chance to break the 74 wins they set two years ago and even move towards the incredible stats of 80!

And it is worth mentioning that Ross seized the opportunity in the past 10 games.

His playing time increased from his original 11 minutes per game to 22 minutes, and he averaged 12.6 points and 3.3 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 49%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 40%.

Tang Tian previously said that Ross, Caruso and Lamb would fill Brogden's scoring gap, but now it seems that Ross has filled most of it alone.

The Pelicans' patience has worked.

Their last summer signing has made a lot of money!

The Pelicans' next game opponent is the Trail Blazers.

The last time the two teams lost against the Pelicans, they will definitely win back in this game.

Moreover, this Tang Tian fight is a qualitative difference in their confidence.

After the team's daily training in the morning, Stevens explained some precautions and left the locker room.

Dior started talking about girls from the nightclub last night, Boyan and Walker discussed Texas Hold'em skills, and Siakam talked about training methods with Butler...

The team members talked and laughed, and the atmosphere in the locker room was quite relaxing.

After more than ten minutes, the team members took a shower and changed their clothes one after another, and the door of the locker room was pushed open again.

Stevens pushes the door in.

The team members were curious about how Stevens came back.

At this moment, they found that Stevens was following the team's general manager Demps and the team's president Dennis Lausa.

This kind of formation is really rare.

"Mr. Benson, just passed away."

Luosha spoke after coming in.

"We will rush to the hospital now, you all prepare and go with me."

Demps continued.

Pelicans owner Tom Benson, dead.

This news is a huge impact on the Pelicans players.

Benson is willing to invest in the team and is very good to the players.

Several times in the playoffs, I encouraged my players to visit the team even if I was seriously ill. Even if I was seriously ill, I would not forget to let my assistants visit the team frequently.

The team members unconsciously expressed sadness emotionally.

Tang Tian also felt sad.

Although Benson is old and has been bedridden for a long time, he has seen it several times and can feel that it is too late.

But when it really hit this day, I still felt uncomfortable.

And for the current Pelicans, this will be a considerable turmoil and impact.

Although Benson had asked his wife to serve on the team before, his children would definitely not be willing to accept this day.

Family internal struggle is definitely a big influencing factor off-court for this team that is determined to create history.

Lausha took the team to the hospital by bus.

They were one step late, and Benson's body had been sent to the morgue.

Outside the ward, Gail Benson was arguing with several of Benson's sons.

Tang Tian’s worries are right.

Seeing that they were coming, Gail and the others stopped arguing and all came to say hello to Tang Tian.

After catching the time, Benson's daughter Renee pulled Tang Tian alone and started chatting.

"Dang, I need your support. As long as you are willing to support me, I can find ways to increase the team shares you can purchase after retirement."

Renee is trying to pull Tang Tian into this power struggle.

This is also expected. The Pelicans' grand occasion is created by Tang Tian.

Although he is not the team's management, his voice is better than anyone in the management.

"I'm just a player."

Tang Tian smiled and said.

He will not participate in such things as power struggles.

Renee was unwilling to give up and made a lot of benefits, but Tang Tian's position did not change.

The conversation between the two did not end up with any substantial results.

After Renee, Gail Benson also found Tang Tian.

But it is different from Renee, because she controls the team now, and she makes Tang Tian focus more on the game, and she will solve the team's problems.

For her, as long as Tang Tian doesn't take the side, she has Benson's will, so it's not a problem to suppress Renee and the others.

"I'm just a player."

Tang Tian’s answer was the same as before.

That night, the Pelicans and the Trail Blazers game opened at the New Orleans Arena.

The impact of Benson's death on the players was obvious. Not only the role players, but even the hard-working brothers did not perform well.

On the other hand, the Trail Blazers are still playing in a rainbow of momentum.

Lillard put on a watch again tonight. Anthony performed averagely after joining the Trail Blazers, but he was in a state of great shape tonight.

After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Pelicans by 10 points away, which was the first time the Pelicans this season.
Chapter completed!
