Budenholzer called for a timeout adjustment, but after the Hawks came back to score a goal, they couldn't find too many ways to score.

The few minutes of the two sides' opening game have almost become a microcosm of this game.

The game reached the second half of the third quarter, and the Pelicans had already led the Hawks by as much as 20 points.

The game has been decided here.

The Pelicans scored 7 players in double digits and finally defeated the Hawks 108-89, winning the top battle between the East and West.

They also fulfilled their pre-match "promise" and allowed Davis to win the game.

The process and results of the competition were all unexpected.

This time it was not only the media and fans who were shaken by the Pelicans, but even the Spinach website, which has always maintained stability, was cheated by the Pelicans.

After the game, Williams took Whiteside and Holiday to the press conference.

"I have to praise everyone on the team, they put in 120% of their efforts on the court, and they played absolutely first-class defensive strength."

Williams praised the players' performance.

The result of this game is even more significant than the previous game against the Spurs, after all, they beat the Hawks, the number one in the East.

After the game, TNT even reported the game with a conspicuous title like "Offensive wins box office, defense wins championship".

"The Pelicans showed us their resilience in their previous games against the Spurs, and in this game they showed us the defensive strength they could do. They wanted more than just the box office, but the championship, and we can now list it as one of the championship teams."

The post-match summary at this end of tnt can be said to be quite accurate, and it is reasonable and convincing.

...

Xiao Hua just returned home and received a call marked "Privacy".

He seemed to care and answered the phone carefully.

"Mr. Xiao Hua, the result of this game has caused us huge losses. I think it is not very similar to the agreement we reached before."

The tone of the speaker on the other end of the phone doesn't sound very good.

"Yes, this game is indeed a bit unexpected, and the Pelicans' performance is very different from what they expected."

Xiao Hua admitted.

"Will the game appear again like this? Or can you still have accurate news for the Pelicans game?"

The person on the other end of the phone continued.

"I will try my best to give accurate information."

Xiao Hua continued to reply.

A burst of laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Xiao Hua, the amount of money we move here every day is huge. Your answer makes it difficult for me to make a decision to cooperate with you and NBA in the future."

"I am considering formulating new referee rules and loan penalty standards, and all problems will be solved by then."

Xiao Hua replied after being silent for a while.

"I hope it will be like that, so that our Spinach Company will be really at ease to cooperate with you."

After saying this, the phone number over there hung up.

Xiao Hua also put down his cell phone.

In addition to the TV broadcast contract, spinach is also a huge aspect of NBA's profitability.

Especially now many states are opposing the alliance's ban. Once spinach is officially legal, the income it will not bring to NBA will be less than broadcast contracts.

...

After the game with the Hawks, the Pelicans then fought against the Knicks, Pacers and Celtics one after another.

Espn was slapped in the face this year, including their Knicks who were accurate every time they tested.

In order to cooperate with Howard and to make the big contract value just signed, Anthony has lost weight crazily this summer.

He lost 9 kilograms in one summer, from 107 kilograms last season to 99 kilograms, and then returned to the third position from the fourth position.

This solves the problem of under the basket space predicted by ESPN before the game.

The Knicks are now fourth in the Eastern Conference, behind the Hawks, Cavaliers and Bulls.

This game was also much more intense than expected.

The Pelicans' offensive firepower has become significantly weaker, and Tang Tian's shots have increased significantly compared to before.

He and Anthony scored again in Madison.

In the end, Tang Tian scored his first 40+ score of the season, helping the Pelicans defeat their opponents 102-99.

The game against the Knicks was fierce, and the game against the Pacers was relatively easy afterwards.

The Pacers' competitiveness has declined significantly after losing Paul George and is now ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference, making it very difficult to enter the playoffs.

The Pelicans finally defeated their opponent 97-81, and ushered in a five-game winning streak with Davis absent.

After this game, espn announced the new strength rankings.

After the Pelicans have arrived at the Spurs and Cavaliers, they have overwhelmed the Warriors and Bulls behind them and have arrived at the third place in the league.

The new season has been in full swing for more than a month, so they are slapping themselves in the face.

With this wave of momentum, the Pelicans ushered in Boston, the last stop of their East away trip.

This is also the second and last time the two sides have fought each other in the season.

The last time in New Orleans, the Pelicans performed poorly in the last quarter and lost the game. This second chance they definitely want to win back.

And they just won five consecutive victories and were highly motivated.

However, in Boston, the rebuilding Celtics showed the Pelicans their iron-blooded tradition.

They were once 13 points behind the Pelicans at halftime, but in the second half, coach Stevens adjusted his tactics and frequently attacked the Pelicans' inside.

Whiteside was in a foul crisis, and Jokic who came up was also targeted.

Of course, more importantly, the Celtics have used the defense of the whole nation, making it extremely difficult for the Pelicans to score.

With one minute left in the regular time, they smoothed the score little by little.

Tang Tian made a key shot, and Jeff Green tied the score.

Smart even stole Holiday's pass at the last moment. Although he missed the last long shot, the Celtics successfully dragged the game into overtime.

In the first overtime between the two sides, Whiteside committed 6. Relying on Tang Tian's 5-pointer in a row in the last moment, both sides tied to enter the second overtime.

In the second overtime, Tang Tian’s key three-pointer once gave the Pelicans hope to end the game.

But Smart stole Ariza, Bradley scored a quick break and dragged the game into the third overtime.

In the third overtime game, Stevens suddenly replaced Smart to defend Tang Tian, ​​and Tang Tian was alone and could not support him.

In the end, the Celtics won the protracted battle 114-110.

Tang Tian scored a season high of 46 points, but still failed to win the game.

Of course, what is even more exaggerated is that both sides played three overtimes and scored less than 120 points.

Before playing against the Hawks, the media used the words "winning the box office when offense and winning the championship when defense" to describe the performance of the Pelicans.

Now this word is also used on the Celtics.

This team under reconstruction has played the former style of the Celtics.
