"One more thing is that we need something to stimulate Hassan and let him put his focus back on the court."

Tang Tian then added a little.

Jokic is shy and has no objection to playing as a substitute. However, Whiteside has some problems with his attitude due to potential competition.

At this time, sign another player with a similar style and come back, and you can hit him.

Demps nodded after hearing what Tang Tian said.

The Pelicans' lineup is actually quite complete, and signing players is just adding more insurance.

So Tang Tian’s analysis is still very convincing.

After Demps and Tang Tian chatted, he went to contact McGee's agent.

But the result was not as smooth as expected.

McGee and the 76ers bought out not just to play in the playoffs, but also to play time.

After all, if he sits on the bench for a season, he may not have a contract next summer.

The Pelicans have two iron-kick rotations, Whiteside and Jokic, and Biyongbo is in front, so it is difficult for him to get a chance to play.

This is also reasonable.

The suggestion was given by Tang Tian, ​​but it was not up to him to decide whether it could work.

The Pelicans and McGee are still in contact. Demps knows that McGee is particularly bad at the general managers of other teams in the league, so he can wait and see.

Two days passed quickly, and the players who were bought out in the past two days signed contracts with other teams one after another.

Stoudemire went to the Cavaliers, Ismail Smith went to the Mavericks, Jason Richardson went to the Suns...

McGee is in a state of rumor with the Pelicans, but no one cares about it.

Because of the five major embarrassments, he does feel that everyone is afraid of seeing others.

McGee's matter has not been finalized yet. The Pelicans, with the 14-man roster, faced a challenge with the Cavaliers at home.

This game has attracted much attention.

The two teams ranked second in the East and West, and had a strong showdown; the grudges and entanglements between James and Tang Tian; the debates on the MVP rankings on social media; live matches across the United States, etc.

All of these have made this game attract much attention.

Tnt also sent their Big Three to the scene for commentary.

"Guys, do you think the Pelicans can succeed in revenge at home? Can Don prove that he should be ahead of LeBron on the MVP rankings?"

Before the game started, Barkley opened his mouth in the commentary seat and started to warm up.

"sure!"

O'Neal is now a hardcore Tang Chui and immediately slapped the table and said.

Barkley looked at O'Neal and laughed. He couldn't stand his partner now.

Smith shook his head repeatedly.

"The Pelicans are not in good condition recently, Don doesn't seem so focused, and the competition between Whiteside and Jokic seems to be developing in a bad direction."

Smith is quite professional.

"Yes, Shaq, you have to use your brain."

Barkley smiled and agreed.

He still admires Tang Tian very much, but he prefers to go against O'Neal.

“No, no need.”

O'Neal smiled and spread his hands. His expression was really boring, which made Smith and Barkley exclaimed that they couldn't stand it.

Just as the three were having fun chatting in the commentary seat, players from both sides came out of the player channel one after another.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides were released one after another.

Both sides played in this game.

The Pelicans' starting lineup, Holiday in the outside, Tang Tian, ​​Arizaga Davis, and Whiteside, center forward.

On the Cavaliers, Owen Gadion Witts on the outside, James Gareford on the front line, and center Mozgov.

After the opening ceremony, Tang Tian and Irving greeted each other in the midfield.

The Pelicans and the Cavaliers are potential finals opponents, and the grudge between Tang Tian and James may also be staged again after the Spurs' career.

But Tang Tian and Owen are brothers who work hard, and their relationship has not been affected by these.

The two of them were talking and laughing, and James was frowning when he looked at him.

The game begins soon with the cheers of fans.

Whiteside jumped to Mozgov and got the first offensive opportunity for the Pelicans.

Tang Tian was double-climbed when he received the ball in the frontcourt. He gave the ball to Holiday, who made a three-pointer.

"Bang!"

Holiday's first attempt at a blacksmith.

Whiteside used his long arm to grab the offensive rebound.

Tang Tian accelerated to get rid of Witts and entered the inside to catch the ball.

But Whiteside didn't give it to him. He seemed a little anxious. He took Mozgov a little and then took action from close range.

Mozgov is 2.16 meters tall and 115 kilograms, just a big meat shield. Whiteside has no advantage in static confrontation, and the ball he shot was in the basket.

Love took the opportunity to take the defensive rebound.

The Pelicans' first offense failed.

Love gave the ball to James.

James dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and broke through Ariza directly. Davis came to assist in defense. He distributed the ball to Love, the bottom corner, who made a three-pointer.

The Cavaliers took the lead.

The Pelicans' offense, Davis received the ball and attacked Love was interfered by James' assisting defense, and Mozgov protected the rebound.

The Cavaliers played a counterattack, and James passed the ball to Irving in the fast break. The latter changed direction in front of the body and shook away Holiday's chase and made a three-pointer.

"Swish!"

Enter too!

The Cavaliers are in a hot start.

The Pelicans' offense, Tang Tianzao missed the ball, and after receiving the ball, he broke through and distributed it to Ariza.

Ariza's three-pointer opportunity.

"beep!"

"Swish!"

Three points piercing the heart, Ariza replied with a reply.

However, before the ball entered, the whistle of the referee in the bottom line sounded.

Whiteside was a little anxious when he was in possession of Mozgov and directly overturned the latter to the ground.

The referee signaled that the foul occurred before Ariza's shot, and the goal was invalid, and Whiteside made an offensive foul.

There was booing at the scene.

Tang Tian walked to Whiteside and reminded him a few times.

His energy was always on Olson before, and he didn't notice that Whiteside's condition was so ups and downs.

The opening few rounds became a microcosm of the first half of the game.

The Cavaliers are in full swing, James is in a state of great heat and has a huge presence.

Tang Tian’s reminder from the Pelicans did not work, and Whiteside was still very anxious.

This emotion also spread to the players, and the entire Pelicans team played a little frivolously.

After playing in about 7 minutes in this quarter, Whiteside received his second foul while defending, and the Cavaliers have led by 11 points 20-9.

"What am I talking about? Shaq, you have to use your brain."

Barkley said with a big laugh that winning the fight with O'Neal was his greatest pleasure in his commentary now.

"It's only been 7 minutes in the game, man."

O'Neal looked calm.

Whiteside was replaced and Jokic stood up from the bench.
Chapter completed!
