Just as Tang Tian was thinking, he saw Boyang chatting with a female model and heading to the yacht room.

This has been the third time he has seen going there, and he always brings a different model.

Sure enough, people who can talk are not short of girls in such occasions, and Boyang's combat power is also very strong.

But speaking of it, he is a shooter, which is quite consistent with this aspect.

After the Mars program's yacht party, the Pelicans players returned to the team to practice with satisfaction.

For them, this is definitely the most special Christmas since entering the league.

Christmas is happy, but time passes quickly. The players adjust their mindset and continue to welcome the game later in the season.

The first game they came back was to challenge the Mavericks away, which was also the first time the two teams had played in the season.

The Mavericks performed worse than expected, and they lost to the Knicks in the Christmas game. Now they are going to play against the Pelicans again. For them, this schedule is a bit devilish.

However, this team has Embiid, Nowitzki, and Butler. Their game temperament is not bad at all.

When Tang Tian went to Dallas, Butler also sent him a text message.

"I finally waited for this game."

From the lines, we can feel that Butler is already impatient to play against the Pelicans.

And there is good news for the Mavericks that Embiid, who had previously missed the Christmas game due to foot injury, will make a comeback in this game.

This is undoubtedly the most exciting news for the Mavericks.

The Mavericks who lacked Embiid lost to New York, but the Mavericks who had Embiid had the power to play against the Pelicans in Dallas.

"We need this victory, we will win this victory."

Embiid was full of confidence in front of reporters before the game.

Although he stopped due to injury this season, he was much better than his experience in history. The rookie had played in more than half of the games in the second year.

Moreover, his ambition is as high as Butler. Although he has only played more than a dozen games, his momentum is like a superstar who wants to unify the league.

That night, the game between the two sides opened at the U.S. Route Center Stadium.

The stadium is full, and the fan atmosphere in Dallas is the best in the league. Now that the team is beginning to revive, the fans' enthusiasm will only be stronger than before.

However, there were still many Chinese fans holding support for Tang Tian at the scene.

Since Wang Zhizhi, the Mavericks have attached great importance to the Chinese market, including Yi Jianlian who played here for two years and has accumulated a lot of popularity.

His popularity among Chinese is second only to the Pelicans, Rockets and Spurs.

The opening ceremony was entered on the spot. When Tang Tian appeared as the visiting team last, he attracted a lot of cheers.

After the Pelicans, the Mavericks' starting players also introduced the game one after another.

The decibels at the scene were completely different from before, and the fans tried their best to roar to vent the enthusiasm of the cowboys.

Team owner Cuban also shouted, as the team's number one fan, his enthusiasm for this critical battle is higher than anyone else.

The Mavericks' outside is a combination of Deron and Butler, while Harris and Nowitzki are on the front line, and center Embiid is on the center.

If Deron or Nowitzki are two years younger in this lineup, the team's competitiveness will definitely be on the same level as the Pelicans and Warriors.

Embiid jumped and beat Davis, officially kicking off the game.

Nowitzki came up and hit Davis's Golden Rooster with his back in low position and hit him independently.

The team's strength has improved this season, and his form is also the best year since winning the championship in 2001.

However, looking back, Davis also used tactical running position to catch Tang Tian's pass and hit a mid-range shot.

Harris missed the shot from the frontcourt, and Jokic won the defensive rebound and the Pelicans played a defensive counterattack.

The Mavericks retreated quickly, but Tang Tian and Davis cooperated wonderfully in the frontcourt, assisting the latter to take off and get the score.

Deron's pick-and-roll layup was interfered by Davis, and the Mavericks retreated and quickly failed to give the Pelicans another chance to play fast break.

However, in the positional battle, the Pelicans cooperated again. Tang Tian used Davis' pick-and-roll to catch Jokic's second pass to catch the ball and then went in.

6 to 2.

Despite Dallas fans' enthusiasm, the Pelicans still gained the upper hand in the opening game.

Carlisle's coaching ability is even higher than Stevens. After being a good wife for two seasons, he finally became a chef seriously.

Although the Mavericks' record has fluctuated this season, their offense and defense are among the top fifteen in the league. Their strength is definitely not bad, but the only difference is luck.

If the Mavericks play with the Pelicans at the beginning of the season, the Mavericks will have a great chance of winning with the Pelicans' offensive strength.

But now that the Pelicans' offense has been integrated, the difficulty is different.

Just like the first few rounds of the game, the Mavericks played no problem, but the difference was still slightly widened.

By the time the two sides entered the substitute period, the Pelicans were already leading the Mavericks by double-digit points difference 25 to 15.

During the substitute stage, the three major core members of the Pelicans left the court to rest, leaving Ariza and Holiday.

The Mavericks have many stars and it is a bit extravagant to rotate. At this time, Butler and Nowitzki are still on the court.

In the last few minutes at the end of the quarter, Butler and Nowitzki joined hands to achieve a 12-2 climax, and tied the score.

The healthy Mavericks do have the capital to play against the Pelicans.

The situation was a bit unfavorable, and Stevens replaced Tang Tian at the beginning of the second quarter.

After Tang Tian came on the court, he scored consecutive long-range shots against Butler's defense, helping the Pelicans increase their points.

But Harris on the Mavericks felt hot, and he continued to use tactical pick-and-roll to get rid of Boyang's defense and long-range shots.

The situation on the field is still stalemate.

Boyang has strong offense and weak defense, and Stevens can only replace Ariza, who had been resting for less than two minutes, with the field again.

This substitution adjustment was immediately effective. Ariza made two moves in a row with Harris, and Tang Tian succeeded in a row in the inside.

The Pelicans played in one wave, and the score difference widened again to 6 points.

Tiezha, Ariza's performance outside the three-point line has also fluctuated greatly after reaching the Pelicans, but his defense is really indispensable.

And what's even more exciting is that in the next offensive and defensive round, Ariza stole Harris's ball-holding attack, and received a pass from Tang Tian during the fast break and hit a three-pointer!

The difference in points reached 9 points, and the Mavericks' chasing score at the end of the first quarter was considered in vain.

Carlisle stood on the sidelines and frowned slightly, turned around and called Deron and Butler, ready to let them go on the court to replace Harris.

Barrea failed to make a quick stop from the frontcourt, and McGee grabbed a defensive rebound.

The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and Tang Tian suddenly gave Ariza the empty cut, and Ariza flew to Pachulia to lay down.

Ariza's defense tonight was eye-catching, but his offensive feel was not good. He has been shooting three times on the outside and has not made any attempts.

This close-range shot is very positive and has a great hope to break the scoring drought.

"Swish!"

After the ball fell, it sounded like a sound, but then there was a scream.
Chapter completed!
