Chapter 1327 The Opening Match Against the Lakers

Morey disappeared, and the follow-up matters were also assigned to the local police station in Houston.

This is probably also a history. The person who announced his candidacy for the mayor the day before, who might become their immediate boss, has now become the missing person they are looking for.

It can only be said that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, not that they will not be rewarded, but that the time has not yet come.

Morey wholeheartedly used the fans and the NBA as a weapon, and finally got a disappearance, and he deserved it.

The fans are also very happy.

And the Morey incident also reminded other American counterparts.

As the largest overseas market for the NBA, the Chinese market is beyond their reach.

Mutual benefit and common development are the sustainable development route and the right way.

The Morey incident came to an end, and it also made the new NBA season attract much attention.

Especially the Pelicans' opener.

The NBA is very experienced in arranging rivals. The Pelicans' opponent in the opening game is the Lakers.

This is also the most powerful opener in recent years.

Durant has just "surrendered" from the Lakers to the Pelicans, and the Pelicans have just completed four consecutive championships and the core Tang Tian retired.

This game is full of highlights.

According to the official statistics given by the NBA, although the number of reserved viewers for this game is not as good as last year's Western Conference semifinals and finals, it has also reached the level of the opening game of the finals.

The impact of Tang Tian's retirement on the NBA is visible to the naked eye, but such an arrangement for the opening game has completely whetted the appetite of the fans at the beginning of the season.

On the day of the game, both teams trained in the training hall one after another.

The Lakers first, the Pelicans second.

After the Lakers practice, James was surrounded by reporters.

"We all know where you're playing at small forward, how are you feeling?"

"Yeah, I feel a lot lighter in my body, which helps me avoid injuries and have more strength."

"We know the Pelicans are a four-peat championship team, but Don just retired, what do you think of them?"

"They are still one of the favorite teams for the championship. They are very competitive. I believe that the game at night will be very intense, and the new season will still be very exciting."

...

Durant's question came up naturally after asking some of the usual questions.

"We all know that Durant played for the Lakers last season, and now he has become an opponent, what do you think of this matter?"

Fans asked this question all summer and didn't get the answer they wanted. Under such an opportunity, they raised it again.

But they were up against James, who was impeccable at answering questions.

"This is the NBA. Players flow every year. Kevin is a great teammate and a great opponent."

After the Lakers' training, the Pelicans also came to the training hall.

It is worth noting that Tang Tian, ​​who has retired and became the owner of the team, also came, which attracted the attention of a large number of reporters.

After the training, the fans wanted to interview Durant, but Durant left directly.

Tang Tian knew that he would definitely be interviewed by reporters when he came, so he simply stayed.

He was immediately surrounded by reporters three times inside and outside three times.

"What was it like being in the gym for the first time as a non-player?"

"No, I've been here since training camp started, but it's definitely different for me not to be here."

"Do you think the Pelicans can win tonight?"

"Of course, we have shown our strength in the pre-season, they can beat all opponents."

"If the team needs to shoot a game-winning shot at the last minute, can you not resist playing?"

"Haha, maybe, but I believe this team, Kevin and AD have the ability to shoot that shot, and I believe they can do it."

...

The reporters asked Tang Tian a lot of questions. To them, Tang Tian was still the most concerned person in the league even after he retired.

But at the end of the question, the reporter still mentioned Durant.

"How do you think Durant will play tonight, you must know that tonight he is facing the Lakers he played for last season."

The way the question is asked is different, but the content of the question is similar to the one asked James before.

"I'm happy that he played in the World Cup. He has matured a lot since he came back. I believe he will play a very good game tonight."

Tang Tian's answer was similar to when he was a player.

But the reporters were satisfied with the answer.

Durant and Tang Tian were old enemies and enemies before, but now that the two are on the same team, how they will get along is a matter of great concern to the outside world.

Now Tang Tian is boasting to Durant, it seems that they get along very well.

This is also what surprised them, just like when the media released the news that Tang Tian recruited Durant to the Pelicans.

Or to put it another way, the NBA really has no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

That night, the Pelicans ushered in the season opener at home.

Before the start of the game, the championship ring award ceremony was held on the spot.

The ring of the four consecutive crowns is a little bigger than in previous years.

And next to the ring, the words "Four consecutive crowns" are also very conspicuous.

The Pelicans are excited too, from Davis to Brogdon to Ding Yanyuhang and Mitchell Robinson.

Their happiness is completely understandable. In the finals last season, Stevens gave each of them a chance to play.

In this way, at the awards ceremony tonight, the rings they can receive are all with their names on them, which has a very different commemorative meaning.

Gail Benson presents the ring to the Pelicans.

At the beginning of the coaching staff, Stevens, Nash and others all received rings one after another.

Then came the players, starting with Davis and ending with Mitchell Robinson.

Everyone who got the ring couldn't help bowing their heads and kissing.

After everyone else had finished collecting, Tang Tian was the last to appear on stage.

The cheers at the scene were overwhelming.

Tang Tian's contribution to the city of New Orleans goes without saying, and his contribution to the NBA is also obvious to all.

Even in the past Morey incident, he saved the NBA.

Although he retired, the cheers he enjoys now are completely incomparable to others.

Tang Tian was also very moved.

Sports is sports, and like music, it is a way of communication across countries. If you look at it alone, it is still the most beautiful thing.

Tang Tian took the ring from Benson, and after the two embraced, he kissed the ring like everyone else, and then put it on his chest.

The cheers were even louder.

This is also a historic moment.

The championship ring is usually paid by the team, and the owner distributes it to the management, coaching staff and players, but Tang Tian's current identity is a small boss.

He also became the first owner in NBA history to win a championship ring.

Just like recruiting Durant in the summer, even if he retires, he is still the same Tang Tian, ​​still setting new records.
