News of Feigan's death soon spread the next day, ushering in a shock to the league.

As a well-known NBA agent, he has many players under him or has led.

In addition to Tang Tian, ​​Howard, Parsons, Cousins ​​and Nurkic are all his current players.

Arenas, Yi Jianlian and Rubio have also asked him for his agents.

After his death, many players, including the team and even the NBA officials, tweeted to commemorate.

Tang Tian: We have worked together for 7 years, and I can't believe you left like this, but please rest assured, I will do my best to help your family, Rest in peace.p.

Parsons: It's all unfair, but I know you must have gone to a better place and one day we'll taste the wine together.

Nurkic: You are a great person and a good teacher and friend to me. I know I fell in love with you after the first meeting. When I saw you wearing a bathrobe and slippers, I thought I liked this guy and thank you for everything you did for me.

Yi Jianlian: Everything came too suddenly. You have always been my best mentor, friend, and family in the United States. When I opened my eyes this morning, I saw the news that you left in a car accident. The sadness in my heart is really indescribable. Let's go, my friend.

Billy King: It's such a bad news. Dan Feigan and I are good friends. I still remember how he looked when he told me that he wanted to be a father. He was really a good father.

NBA official: The NBA family has lost an outstanding agent and prays that Feigan's family can get through this difficulties smoothly.

...

Tang Tian’s Twitter was posted late at night, and he returned to New Orleans the next morning, and Gale Benson also called to comfort him.

For the Pelicans, this is their brilliant and peak season, but for Tang Tian, ​​his recent encounter is a bit bad.

First the team boss passed away, and then the agent he had worked with for seven years.

Benson was concerned and worried that these would affect Tang Tian's game state.

Such worries are not only Benson, but also the media and fans.

That night, the first series between the Pelicans and the Trail Blazers kicked off at the New Orleans Arena.

The scene was full and the TV ratings remained high.

The cool articles of Long Aotian style are very pleasant to bring in the protagonist.

You should know that the Pelicans are the team with the most fans now.

In the locker room before the game, the head coaches of both teams were making final preparations for the game.

"Kemba, ad, after the game, you play more pick-and-roll cooperation, let's play the No. 2/3 tactic first."

When Stevens said this, he took a special look at Tang Tian.

He wanted Tang Tian to adjust his mood.

Tang Tian just nodded and said nothing.

Feigan's death made him feel really not very emotional, but it would not affect his condition.

It's okay for Stevens to consider him, and he can take the opportunity to test the status of the Trail Blazers first.

Half an hour before the game started, players from both sides entered the court to warm up one after another.

During the warm-up, Tang Tian was constantly shooting him.

Tang Tian's mood was much worse than usual, but he looked calm.

Fans were a little relieved when they saw this.

After the warm-up, some fans noticed that Lillard was chatting with Don Tian at the Pelicans at halftime.

Judging from the behavior of the two people, Lillard should have come to comfort Tang Tian.

Although he is an opponent, Lillard deserves respect.

The opening ceremony entered the scene, and the starting lineups of the two teams were also released one after another.

The Pelicans still play all players, training the four brothers and Dedmont.

On the Trail Blazers, Lillard and CJ McClum's double guns on the outside, Aminu and Anthony on the front line, and center Nurkic.

Davis jumped to win Nurkic, gaining the Pelicans a chance to attack first, and also opened the curtain for the semi-finals of both sides.

After Walker took the ball to the frontcourt, he observed the Trail Blazers' defense.

After the Trail Blazers' lineup has changed a lot after the trade deadline.

But for a long time after the deal was completed, their lineup was still changing.

After a long running-in period, Stotts found the lineup that suits them the most.

Originally, they had a period of time that they allowed Turner and Anthony to play the striker, which could maximize Turner's organizational ability.

But the result is not ideal, and the main problem is on the defensive end.

Turner is a swinging man in the forward position, and is thin and can't stand the average number three position.

Anthony's movement speed dropped significantly after knee injury, and he could not prevent the third position, and even the flexible or strong fourth position could not prevent the flexible body.

The Trail Blazers struggled during that period, and even experienced five consecutive losses after losing to the Pelicans.

The situation did not change qualitatively until Stotz brought Aminu into the starting lineup and asked Nurkic to organize the offense like his old opponent Jokic.

Amino has a relatively mediocre talent and is a player with strong defense and weak attacks, but he has a characteristic, which is very rough and hard.

It can prevent the third position and the fourth position.

Moreover, his open three-pointers were good. When he played as a substitute, his three-point shooting percentage was only over 30%, but after the start, he soared to 39%.

With the restraint of three musketeers, he has more opportunities and better opportunities.

Moreover, Nurkic's organizational ability was liberated. Before and after the team adjusted its starting lineup, his average assists per game increased from 1.9 to 3.9.

The current defense method of the Trail Blazers is that Anthony relies on the inside to defend Butler, and main defense of Butler's empty cut, and Amino tops Davis at a low post.

Walker took a look and asked Butler to mention the high pick-and-roll.

He has a strong ability to read games. No matter how Stotts arranges troops, Anthony is the breakthrough for the Pelicans' offense.

However, Stotts' tactical level is indeed good, but Butler blocks it, but the Trail Blazers will not change it.

Butler blocked the second time when he failed to pick-and-roll, but the Trail Blazers still did not change.

Walker grabbed the neutral and chose a three-pointer to retreat.

His three-pointers are not very sure, and the ball ends up hitting the front and smashing the frame.

Nurkic protects the defensive rebounds.

After Lillard advanced to the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Nurkic, who organized the free throw line.

Lillard, McClum and Anthony run against each other. Anthony goes straight to the basket after pick-and-roll, leading the Pelicans defense.

At this moment, Lillard got a chance to use Amino to run.

Nurkic's pass was delivered quickly, but the Pelicans' defense switch was also fast, and Davis had already saved.

Lillard flew a three-pointer and dribbled past Davis' emergency stop jump shot that broke through to the free throw line.

"Swish!"

The basketball is hollowed into the net, and his condition is as hot as the first round.

In the first round series with the Rockets, he averaged 29.6 points per game!

Walker attacked again, and this time he asked Davis to play the pick-and-roll, then took the ball back to Davis.

Davis turned around and ran over Lillard, but Amino's assistance came in time, which interfered with his attack.

"Bang!"

Davis's move hit the box and the Pelicans returned in vain with two consecutive attacks at the beginning.

Aminu protected the defensive rebound.

The Trail Blazers fought back, and Lillard went to the frontcourt with Walker's defense and attacked without waiting for others. After a cross step, he stopped and chased for three points.

This choice is sudden and unreasonable.

"Bang!"

The ball hit the rebound and rebounded and fell into the net bag!

5 to 0!

Lillard made a personal attack wave at the beginning.

After scoring the goal, he reached out and pointed his right index finger at his left wrist.

This is his signature move, reminding everyone that he will wear a watch tonight!

Lillard time!

There was a turmoil at the scene.

Putting aside strength, Lillard is actually on the same level as Kobe, Tang Tian and others in this game.

Butler received a free cut and scored a layup with Walker, finally setting the first record for the Pelicans.

But looking back, Lillard used the ball to attack to attract defense and passed the ball to Anthony, who also made the mid-range draw.
