The 32-point margin wasn't irreversible, but the Thunder couldn't make it.

In fact, less than halfway through the third quarter, when the point difference was stretched to 40 points, the Thunder's mentality had collapsed.

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Thunder 126-88 at home to win the season opener.

Westbrook scored the most on the Thunder's side, with 22 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists on 7-of-25 shooting, and Griffin had 20 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Pelicans blossomed more points here, with seven players scoring in double figures.

The Big Four only played three quarters, with Walker scoring a team-high 21 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Davis 20 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks, Tang Tian 17 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists, and Butler 14 points, 4 boards, 4 assists and 4 steals.

On the bench, Brogdon had 16 points and 5 assists, Bojan 12 points, Siakam 11 points and 3 boards, Dedmon 6 points, 13 boards and 2 blocks, and Lamb 6 points.

It was a standard crushing victory.

"38 points! In fact, the margin at the end of the third quarter was 45 points! It's horrible! ”

"What's even more terrifying is that Don only made 11 shots in total, less than half of the number of shots he averaged last season......"

"Tang: I haven't exerted my strength yet, you're already kneeling and calling Dad!"

"It's a pity that the Pelicans Big Four didn't play in the last quarter, otherwise they would definitely be running for a 58-point difference!"

"It's so brutal, there's no chance at all!"

"Speaking of which, the Pelicans' performance should be the strongest team in NBA history, right?"

"Generally average, it's the third in the league."

“-________-''”

"It turns out that ESPN's ranking is not reliable at all, not to mention the Pelicans, this Thunder is ranked higher than the Bucks, but they are more abused!"

"Anyway, will Donovan get out of class?"

"How...... It's really possible, hahaha! ”

"Hey, this is really a fart, the Pelicans are too hooligan! This is simply revenge on society! ”

"Everything has to start with Xiao Hua's comeback, before his comeback, Demps once stated that he would not change the lineup."

"Then Xiao Hua came back, the Pelicans traded to Butler, signed Walker, Temples: That's good!"

"I'm tired, I'm tired, as Lei Mi, I have no love."

"Brother, what are you doing! Changed to pelican honey! It's cool to abuse people for a while, and it's cool to abuse people all the time! ”

"By the way, did any of you notice Tang throwing magnesium powder before the game? Is this the way to go LeBron, so that LeBron has no way out? ”

"This is too ruthless, if LeBron wins the championship, wouldn't it be the first and second person in the league, who is higher than each other?"

"This picture ...... Brother, you are really a talent! ”

"No, do you think LeBron can still win the championship?"

"Probably, probably, maybe, a slight chance?"

"There's a fart! As far as the Pelicans lineup, don't think about the championship, but it's true that you can continue to increase the total number of runners-up. ”

"It's so dark, it's black."

……

After the game, fans on social media were buzzing, basically all discussing the Thunder-Pelicans game.

As for the other games, there are far fewer people than last year, and the discussion is even rarer.

It's really gravitational and gravitational and draws all the attention over.

"How would you rate the team's performance tonight?"

At the press conference after the game, a reporter asked Tang Tian such a question.

'We played well but we still have a lot to improve and this is only our first game and we will play better in the next games.'

You can play even better!

Tang Tian's answer is actually nothing wrong, but if he won 38 points, wouldn't it be better to run for 40 points, 50 points, and 58 points? !

And the point is that there is really nothing wrong with saying it, this is only the Pelicans' first regular season game!

The team that is going to play against the Pelicans in the back has a feeling of beeping a dog when I hear this!

The fans were carnivaling, and Tang Tian was pretending to be invisible, but at this time, it was Gail Benson who was in the best mood.

After the game against the Thunder, her VP told him that FOX had raised their broadcast contract offer.

Before the start of the season, FOX had already offered them a broadcast contract, 750 million for 10 years.

At that time, Benson didn't agree, on the one hand, he felt that the offer was low, and on the other hand, he had to ask Tang Tian's opinion.

But after a game was played, the FOX side completely realized the value of the Pelicans and re-quoted 1 billion in 10 years!

This is quite an exaggerated statistic, knowing that there are very few teams in the NBA that have exclusive broadcast contracts, the biggest being the Lakers' 20-year 3 billion.

On average, it is equivalent to 150 million in one year.

That's a Los Angeles team, and it's quite unfortunate that a small city like the Pelicans can get this offer.

After getting this offer, the day after the Pelicans and Thunder finished the game, Benson sent someone to invite Tang Tian to his estate.

Tang Tian wasn't too surprised when he heard the news.

The Pelicans are now a phenomenal performance in the league, and it is too late for the media to sign him alone.

However, FOX's broadcast of the Pelicans is a little different from Time Warner's broadcast of the Lakers.

Exclusive broadcasts, like Time Warner, are aimed at Los Angeles-area fans for a fee.

The reason for this is because Time Warner's ratings in the Los Angeles area are quite high.

FOX's ratings in the New Orleans area, and even in surrounding cities, are clearly not comparable to that.

Therefore, this broadcast contract is complementary to the broadcast contract of an alliance.

In addition to charging New Orleans and surrounding cities, the bigger piece of his broadcast is that when the Pelicans' games aren't broadcast live across the country, it goes live across the country.

In terms of numbers, after Xiao Hua's comeback, the Pelicans have only 24 official national live broadcasts this season, eight fewer than last season.

Then FOX will broadcast the remaining 58 games live across the United States through their media.

To some extent, Xiao Hua targeted the Pelicans, but helped the Pelicans.

If it weren't for so many live streams, FOX Sports wouldn't have made such a big offer.

"At the beginning of the Xiao Hua incident, FOX Sports was also a participant, so I was very concerned about this."

Benson said sideways, he knew that Tang Tian had been greatly affected by the Xiao Hua incident.

"That's not a problem."

Tang Tian didn't care about that at all, on the contrary, he felt that FOX was the most suitable one.

After all, FOX was Xiao Hua's royal media before, and signing this contract is equivalent to winning them over.

In other words, it is to cut off one of Xiao Hua's arms, which is definitely a good thing.

"But I think the offer is a bit low."

Tang Tian continued.

"Low?"

Benson looked at Tang Tian in surprise.

"It's low, 58 national live broadcasts, which is twice as many as ESPN and TNT, even if this number of games becomes less next season, it is still higher than them, and now the NBA's official national live broadcast record is 40 games for the Lakers, according to that, TNT is still more than ESPN and TNT."

After Tang Tian finished speaking, Benson looked at him with a look of astonishment.

How is this guy more like a boss than her?
