Chapter 526: Xiao Hua's Business Economics (Second Update!) )

The Clippers were eventually defended by the Pelicans for 24 seconds.

The emotions of the fans at the scene have been completely high.

Tang Tian assisted Evans to score 2 points in the front court.

The Pelicans started with a bang, and even Evans' negligible offensive desire was mobilized.

And back up, Paul's mid-range was also interfered with by Holiday .

The Pelicans played a fast break, and Tang Tian faced Barnes's chase and scored a three-point pull!

7 to 0!

Less than three minutes into the opening game, Rivers reached out and called a timeout.

The Pelicans were 120% of their form tonight!

When the Pelicans left the court, both Davis and Holiday high-fived their teammates excitedly.

That's the characteristic of a young team, with a lot of ups and downs, a fine line between good and bad.

In this home game, Tang Tian and Davis performed well at both ends of the opening offensive and defensive ends, and the state of the whole team was mobilized at once.

Rivers poured another burst of chicken soup into the Clippers during the timeout.

His chicken soup is warm and nourishing, and it does work wonders.

The Clippers were more patient on offense after returning from a timeout, stabilizing the situation on the court under Paul's leadership, and not allowing the Pelicans to stretch the margin to double digits.

With two minutes left in the quarter, the two sides entered the bench rotation.

Crawford came up and made a beautiful change of direction past Holiday for a layup, but his shot was directly fanned out of the court by Whiteside!

Whiteside is not good enough to play as a starter at the moment, but it is clearly enough to play as a substitute.

Blocks, especially this kind of blood, are very morale-boosting.

Starting with this block, Gordon and Anderson fired frequently on the offensive end to keep the margin open.

By the time they reverted to the starting lineup in the second quarter, the Pelicans' lead was in double digits.

When the main force came back, Davis came up and received Tang Tian's pass and hit a mid-distance.

Defense drives offense, Davis played tough on the defensive end this time, playing confidently, and the feeling is naturally up.

At halftime, the Pelicans led the Clippers by as many as 15 points, 50-35.

This is also the largest margin between the two teams since the series has been played.

After Griffin's outburst in the last game, he played a very sluggish half, scoring only 6 points and 3 rebounds, and was also beaten by Davis on the opposite side of the half.

At halftime, Rivers continued his chicken soup speech.

Griffin was in a state of emptiness at this time.

If you drink too much chicken soup, you won't feel it.

Coming back in the second half, the Clippers attacked first.

After Griffin and Paul blocked and cooperated, he received a pass from Paul and flew to the frame.

Davis became more and more confident the more he played, and at this time he struggled to chase the defense, and the start was another block.

"Bang!"

Griffin tried to shoot quickly, but he and Davis were too far apart to dodge.

Davis was another bloody blow.

The 3rd of this game!

Griffin was visibly upset when he was taken off, and turned around and pushed Davis.

Tang Tian quickly stepped forward at this time.

Seeing Tang Tian go up, Evans flew up to confront Griffin first.

On the Clippers' side, Paul and Barnes also joined in.

There was a clash on the field.

Fortunately, the referee's reaction was timely and separated the people on both sides to avoid the escalation of the situation.

There was boos at the scene.

This Clippers team has been clashing with their opponents since Rivers became the owner, and now they are behind and coming back to this set!

The referee gave Griffin a technical foul after a technical timeout, temporarily quelling the conflict.

But the technical foul didn't do much, and the players on the court moved more and more.

The Clippers have been in charge for 3 years since Paul took over, and the team has made a lot of small moves, and the Pelicans are also young and vigorous.

The whistle of the game was intense, and there were several grappling on the edge of conflict on the field.

And the referee's decision is obviously biased.

Davis was whistled for an offensive foul on the elbow of a layup, and Griffin was whistled for a foul on a defender with a left-handed push on the layup.

This is a rare away whistle.

The boos never stopped.

This kind of whistle is obviously abnormal, but it is also reasonable.

During the Stern period, there was also a tendency to whistle for the sake of ratings.

For example, teams like the Celtics and Lakers in 10 years will definitely be better than the Magic and the Suns in the Finals.

But those are mostly home whistles, and away whistles like this are really rare.

But it is clear that his successor, Xiao Hua, did not think so much, and he focused more on business, especially in the United States.

The Clippers are a Los Angeles team, and the commercial value he can create by having him appear in the second round is certainly more than that of a small ball market like the Pelicans.

As for the overseas markets brought by Tangtian? That's worth a few bucks!

Take the TV contract most closely related to the NBA, and his expectation for a new contract next year is $2.5+ billion a year.

China? That's a $100 million a year.

Therefore, the overseas market that Stern values most is just the icing on the cake in his opinion.

Stern doesn't prioritize, he can carry it clearly.

So this whistle is completely reasonable.

Williams protested on the sidelines several times to no avail, he was afraid that the player would be injured, so he turned around and called Ci Shiping directly.

Tzu Shiping came on to replace Moreau.

Paul hit a mid-range shot from Griffin's move, and the Clippers narrowed the score to 10 points.

The Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian also blocked the dry pull after the pick-and-roll, but the referee's late whistle gave Evans a moving pick-and-roll.

There were a lot of confrontations on the court, and Evans did suspect that he was moving to block and pick-and-roll.

But this whistle came too late, and Griffin didn't blow a similar move in front!

The emotions of the fans at the scene have reached a peak, and they almost drowned the referee directly.

Griffin singled Davis in the low post, and the two fought a lot physically.

Griffin was not in good shape, and the whole person was extremely irritable, he knew that Davis was not as good as him, so he directly bent down and knocked Davis over.

After the referee blew the whistle for him to foul, he didn't stop and stepped over Davis for a dunk.

Tang Tian was furious when he saw this, and was about to go up.

A figure was faster than him.

Ci Shiping raised his fist and rushed towards Griffin.

When Griffin saw Ci Shiping's fierce face, his mind suddenly recalled the scene when Barnes was pressed to the ground and beaten up when the two teams met in the regular season.

His first instinct was to turn around and run.

Barnes saw that Tzu Shiping did not dare to go up to help, and Paul was far away.

So, in everyone's incredible eyes, Ci Shiping chased Griffin in the field!

Griffin's hands and legs are not short, and he fled all the way around the court, Ci Shiping was old and slow, and he didn't catch up!

The whole audience laughed.

Griffin has always been known for his explosive dunks and has the nickname "Giving Lipfin".

But this time, he didn't even have the idea of confronting Ci Shiping, or even fighting and retreating, and he was chased all over the field, which was really shocking!
