Chapter 1020 The Show Begins! (5/5!)

Chapter 1020 The show begins! (55!)

On October 4th, U.S. time, the Pelicans sat at home and ushered in their first preseason game against the Bucks.

Although it was a preseason game, the New Orleans Arena, which can accommodate nearly 20,000 people, was packed.

And all the fans couldn't hide the excitement on their faces.

Not only can I witness the debut of the four-star Pelicans, but because it is a preseason game, tickets are much cheaper than the regular season.

Being able to buy game tickets is already exciting enough for them.

And even if you are a Pelicans season ticket holder, preseason tickets are not included.

So at this time, the people sitting in the front row were not the local rich people, but the most enthusiastic fans.

From a distance of several meters, you can feel their bodies burning like fire.

The Pelicans' first preseason game has already made local fans so enthusiastic.

Regardless of whether other teams are miserable or not, the Pelicans will definitely rise to a new level.

The happiest person at this time belonged to Gale Benson who was sitting in the VIP box.

The impact of the four-star Pelicans is not only on the court, but also off the court.

During the offseason, FOX Sports was already in contact with him about a broadcast contract.

American television is paid, and television broadcasts are the NBA's largest financial revenue.

The nine-year 24 billion contract that Xiao Hua negotiated before is one of them.

However, this contract is for the entire NBA league, that is, the national live broadcast games of each team combined.

Moreover, the media signed are not all media, only TNT and ESPN.

What's special here is the Lakers. In addition to having a share of the league's television broadcasts, they also have their own.

The Lakers signed a 20-year, $3 billion broadcast contract with Time Warner in 2011.

In other words, the Lakers can get $150 million from Time Warner alone.

Time Warner is a TV media for fans in the Los Angeles area, and it does not conflict with the national live broadcast.

The same thing happened with the Pelicans.

FOX is the American television media after TNT and ESPN. Now that the Pelicans are dazzling, they can't sit still at all.

Although there is no chance to sign a broadcast contract with the NBA, this just gives them the opportunity to sign with the Pelicans.

Benson is ready to have in-depth negotiations with FOX.

Of course, FOX Sports played a bad role in the Xiao Hua incident. When it came to a certain stage, Benson would also ask Tang Tian for his opinion.

Although she doesn't know as much about business as her husband, she is very self-aware and knows that everything the Pelicans have now was brought about by Tang Tian.

Tang Tian's opinion carries more weight than anyone else's.

The game is about to start, and players from both teams enter the field to warm up.

At this moment, the fans' screams and cheers could not be stopped from the scene.

Because they saw all four Pelicans stars wearing training uniforms!

In other words, there is a high probability that they will play in this game!

In the preseason, the core players of many teams played little or even not at all, so they were quite worried before the game.

But Stevens seems to understand what the fans are thinking!

There was no opening ceremony in the preseason. After the warm-up, the starting players of the two teams came on stage one after another.

At this moment, the scene erupted into deafening cheers.

For the Pelicans, Walker, Tang Tian, ​​Butler, Davis, plus Dedmon's starting lineup!

The Big Four of the Pelicans all start the game!

"It's coming! It's coming! The Pelicans are coming!"

"The Pelicans and Galaxy are coming! The Bucks are trembling!"

"Bucks: Why am I the first one to get hurt?!"

"Bucks fans: Xiao Hua, Xiao Hua, evil Xiao Hua!"

"I'm so excited that I can't hold it back anymore, I'm going to explode!"

…

A preseason game hasn't even started yet, and the fans on the hotline are already excited.

Not only in the United States, but also in China and other overseas TV hotlines, fans exploded one after another.

This doesn't feel like a preseason game at all!

The Bucks also have the Big Three, plus Dellavedova and Greg Monroe.

Just on paper, the Bucks aren't necessarily that bad.

Irving stood in the backcourt and glanced at the starting lineup of the opposing Pelicans, with a complicated expression on his face.

Except for Dedmon, the other four are all hard-working brothers.

It's like a group of brothers who share the same love, but in the end they didn't take him to play!

Looking at the atmosphere of the fans at the scene, I really envy him.

"beep!"

The referee's whistle brought Owen out of his thoughts.

Davis moved the ball back to the Pelicans half, Butler got the ball and handed it to Walker, and the game officially started!

Walker took the ball to the frontcourt and directly called Davis to pick and roll towards the basket.

He's very fast.

There are many players in the NBA who enter the league with extraordinary talents, such as James.

But more people continue to work hard to improve themselves and slowly embark on the road to superstardom, such as Kobe.

Walker is also the same type of player as Kobe. When he first entered the league, his strength was already good, but he still continued to improve himself.

After performing at the peak of his career last season, he trained hard with Parker this summer and became even better.

The Bucks did not double-team, and Walker accelerated to the basket and met Antetokounmpo's throw.

Antetokounmpo's long arms covered the sky, but Walker's timing of the ball was perfect, and the parabola was so high that the ball could pass over his fingertips.

"Uh-huh!"

The ball falls hollow into the pocket.

Walker opens the scoring for the Pelicans!

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

Among the Big Four of the Pelicans, the one that fans are most worried about is Walker. After all, it is difficult for short guards to become talented, and Walker has been in the Eastern Conference before.

But the goal just now made them put that worry behind them.

Antetokounmpo can hit him out of position, but there’s nothing else he can’t hit!

The Bucks' offense couldn't work out the frontcourt tactics organized by Irving.

Of the five players on the Pelicans, except for Walker, whose defense is average in the league, everyone else is above the standard, or even much better.

The Big Three of the Bucks have just formed a team, and their tacit understanding is obviously insufficient.

Unable to open up Irving, he finally chose to attack Walker alone.

Irving has a size advantage over Walker, but the two are hard-working brothers and are very familiar with each other. The interference caused by Walker made Irving very uncomfortable.

Irving rushed to the basket and turned around to squeeze away Walker's small floater.

"boom!"

Davis came to help defend from the weak side, jumped up and went from top to bottom, and hit the head and face with blood!

Irving reacted quickly and turned around to grab the ball, but Tang Tian was faster than him and had already grabbed the ball in advance.

And after grabbing the ball, he turned around, turned sideways and threw the ball forward.

Walker and Butler have already rushed out of the three-point line.

The Bucks had no time to retreat.

Antetokounmpo struggled to catch up from the backcourt but couldn't catch up.

Walker went to the frontcourt on a fast break and saw that Antetokounmpo had just passed halftime. Instead of going directly, he glanced at Butler and smashed the ball onto the backboard.

Butler understood it, took a step forward, jumped up, caught Walker's pass in the air, and slammed the ball into the basket with both hands!

He even swung around the rim after dunking!

There was a pause, followed by cheers.

Walker's previous shot was quite satisfactory, but this shot told them that the Pelicans Brothers Basketball Show is about to begin!
