The Golden Invincible of Basketball
v3 Chapter 758: Battle of Pelican
If one big win doesn't tell you anything, then there are two.
The Pelicans beat the Suns and Nuggets 30 consecutive points in the rest of the week.
After the 25-game winning streak was ended, they ushered in a new wave of three-game winning streak.
Although the opponent's strength in these three games is not too strong, such a big victory also reflects the current state and fighting spirit of the Pelicans.
Two months after the season started, the Pelicans finally found a sense of offense. Now their offensive and defensive status is the pinnacle of the season.
After this streak, they had a record of 28 wins and 1 loss before Christmas, surpassing the Warriors with 26 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the league.
Time has unknowingly come to Christmas, and the annual Christmas war is coming.
And this year's Christmas war is full of highlights.
Xiao Hua's understanding of basketball is not as good as Stern, but his sensitivity to the market, especially the American domestic market, is worse than Stern.
The Warriors flew to Cleveland to challenge the Cavaliers, the Pelicans to take home the Rockets, the Thunder to San Antonio to challenge the Spurs, the Mavericks and the Knicks to play in Madison, the Heat and Nets to play rivals at Barclays Center .
Each of the five games is full of highlights. This is definitely the most interesting Christmas battle in recent years.
On Christmas Eve this year, Tang Tian also lived more than ever before. His parents have not returned yet, plus Olson's parents and two sons.
Their first Christmas at the new estate was quite lively.
Tang Tian gave Olson a Ferrari worth 500,000 as a Christmas gift.
Olson's requirements for the car are not high, but as the number of luxury cars in the garage continues to increase, she can return to the days of driving luxury cars.
It's just different from the previous one. The old car belonged to her two sisters, but now she owns it.
Before the Christmas training session began, teammates gave each other gifts.
Boyang's gift was very interesting. He gave each of his team members a senior home dehumidifier.
New Orleans is a port city and the humidity is very high, this gift can be said to be quite practical.
It seems that this guy is a very caring person besides optimism.
But what excites the team members most is Tang Tian's gift.
Before the start of the playoffs last year, Tang Tian once said that if the team won the championship, he would have a week of yachting on the "Mars Project".
Last season, the Pelicans missed the championship, and that reward failed to materialize.
But now, Tang Tian ’s Christmas gift is a two-day yacht party in the Mississippi Bay!
He will also invite well-known local models and car models to party together!
This is directly a simplified version of the previous award.
And he has also passed with Stevens Ditch. After the Christmas War, the league will have a four-day offseason, and the team will arrange a two-day vacation to cooperate.
The NBA has 82 long games in a season, with relaxation and a combination of work and rest, so that players can play their best.
When I heard the gift, there was a whistle and cheers in the locker room.
The Pelicans are young teams, many of them are single, and this party is their favorite.
After giving the party gifts, the Pelicans' morale rose, and some of them fought in the next Christmas war.
On the day of the match, both teams arranged open training. Tang Tian also met an old acquaintance Zhang Weiping at the training site.
White hair had covered Zhang Weiping's head, he was over 65 years old.
The Pelicans and Rockets are the top two teams in China's popularity, which can be seen from the previous Chinese games.
This Christmas war is the first time the two teams have played against each other, and domestic attention is unprecedented.
The two talked a lot. In addition to this game, basketball school and drafts were mentioned a lot.
As an older generation basketball player, Zhang Weiping is always concerned about Chinese basketball like Yao Ming.
He waited for decades, and finally waited for the scene he wanted to see. He admired and appreciated Yao Ming and Tang Tian.
If he was Weiping Bryant before, as Kobe is about to retire, his main identity now is Weiping Tian.
In another venue, Yang Yi's figure also appeared, and he and Harden also did an interview to talk about Harden's love for Chinese fans.
Yao Ming made the Rockets a household name in the country. The Rockets must do such things to keep the Chinese market.
Especially before the Pelicans led by Tang Tian, this can help them a lot.
Harden was interviewed on one side, and Rockets coach D'Antoni was also interviewed by ESPN reporters on the other.
"We have already run in, they are no longer invincible, we can win the game tonight."
D'Antoni was confident, his moustache raised.
His words were not without reason.
Because the two teams fought twice in China and lost both games, they naturally became the loser in this game.
Including the part where they experienced the line-up and tactical run-in before, the record is far from what fans expected.
But after entering December, they found the right lineup, and the magic ball finally began to show its power.
They have just achieved a season-long 7-game winning streak, and the team is in a hot state.
And the Pelicans have lost the Blazers, as D'Antoni said, not unbeatable.
As the words in his words show, the Rockets are determined to win this game.
Of course, there is another important point.
D'Antoni basically decided to coach the Pelicans, but eventually chose to go to the Rockets.
Now the Pelicans have an unprecedented record under Stevens, but the Rockets Big Three have experienced a long period of running-in during the opening game.
This comparison ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ fans are secretly thankful that the Pelicans fortunately did not sign D'Antoni.
The Christmas War, which attracted a lot of attention, was also a battle that D'Antoni proved himself.
That night, there was a lot of fun outside the New Orleans Arena.
The new poster has just been put on the outside of the arena not long ago. Tangtian Station is in the C position. Jokic and Davis are on both sides.
The fans wore all kinds of Christmas decorations and held up a sign supporting Tang Tian and the Pelican to enter the arena. Many people even took photos and pictures under the poster.
The Rockets are now second only to the Pelicans, Warriors and Spurs, and fourth in the West.
The battle of Pelican fire is another focus battle after the Yuyong battle. Fans of such a game are naturally excited.
And the Rockets are super-big three, with bright stars and no less attention than the Warriors and Pelicans.
The New Orleans Arena is full of Christmas atmosphere. Even the broadcast seats of various countries are put on Christmas hats full of festive atmosphere.
