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

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

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

Not only was it to be able to witness the debut of the four-star Pelicans, but also because it was a preseason game, tickets were much cheaper than the regular season.

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

And even for the Pelicans' season ticket holders, preseason tickets are not included.

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

From a distance of a few meters, you can feel as if a flame is burning on them.

The Pelicans' preseason debut has already made local fans so frenetic.

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

At this time, the happiest belonged to Gail Benson sitting in the VIP box.

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

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

Television in the United States is charged, and television broadcasts are the largest part of the NBA's financial revenue.

The 9-year 24 billion contract that Xiao Hua talked about before is one of them.

However, this contract is for the entire NBA league, that is, the teams together to broadcast live games in the United States.

And the media signed is not all media, just TNT and ESPN.

One of the more special ones is the Lakers, who have their own share of the league's television broadcasts.

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

In other words, the Lakers will receive $150 million from Time Warner alone.

Time Warner is a television outlet aimed at fans in the Los Angeles area, and it doesn't conflict with national live streaming.

The same happened with the Pelicans.

FOX is the second largest American television outlet after TNT and ESPN, and now that the Pelicans are star-studded, they can't sit still at all.

Speaking of which, although they did not have the opportunity to sign a broadcast contract with the NBA, it just gave them the opportunity to sign with the Pelicans.

Benson is ready to negotiate with FOX in depth.

Of course, before the Xiao Hua incident, FOX Sports played a bad role in it, and when it came to a certain stage, Benson still had to ask Tang Tian's opinion.

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

Tang Tian's opinion weighed more weight than anyone's opinion.

As the game was about to start, both teams went into the field to warm up.

At this moment, the scene could no longer stop the screams and cheers of fans.

Because they saw that the Pelicans were all wearing training uniforms!

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

In the preseason, many teams played little or no core at all, so they were quite worried before the game.

But Stevens seems to know what the fans think!

There was no pre-season ceremony, and after the warm-up, the starters of both teams came on one after another.

At this moment, the scene erupted in deafening cheers.

On the Pelicans' side, Walker, Tang Tian, Butler, Davis, plus Dedmon's starting lineup!

The Big Four of the Pelicans, all of whom are starters!

"It's coming! Here it comes! The Pelicans are coming! ”

"The Pelicans Galaxy are here! The Bucks are shivering! ”

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

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

"I can't hold back my excitement, I'm going to explode!"

……

A preseason game, before it started, the fans on the hotline have already exploded.

Not only in the United States, but also in China, and on other overseas TV hotlines, fans have been blown up one after another.

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

The Bucks, on their side, also have a big three, plus Dellavidovar and Greg Monroe.

On paper, the Bucks aren't necessarily much worse.

Irving stood in the backcourt and glanced at the starting lineup of the Pelicans opposite, with a very complicated expression.

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

It's like a group of brothers who are like brothers, 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.

"Toot!"

The referee's whistle pulled Owen back from his thoughts.

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

Walker carried the ball to the front court and directly beckoned Davis to block and rush to the basket.

He's fast.

There are many players in the NBA who enter the league because they are talented and kill all sides, such as James.

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

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

After playing the peak performance of his career last season, he worked hard with Parker this summer, and his strength is even better.

The Bucks didn't wrap it, and Walker accelerated to the basket to meet the shots of the alphabet brother.

Brother Alphabet had long arms to cover the sky, but Walker's ball was perfectly timed, and the parabola was so high that the ball could go over his fingertips.

"Huh!"

Ball hollow bag.

Walker opens the scoring for the Pelicans!

There was a burst of cheers from the audience.

If you want to say that among the Pelicans' Big Four, fans are most worried about Walker, after all, it is difficult for a short guard to become a talent, and Walker has been in the East before.

But the ball just now made them forget that worry.

You can play the alphabet brother in a misplaced position, and what else can't be played!

The Bucks' offense, Irving's frontcourt tactics can't be played.

The Pelicans have five people on the court, except for Walker, whose defense is the league's average, and everyone else is above the level, or even a lot.

On the Bucks' side, the Big Three have just formed a team, and the tacit understanding is obviously insufficient.

Unable to open Owen, he finally chose to go solo with Walker.

Irving has a size advantage over Walker, but both are hard-working brothers who know each other well, and the interference given by Walker makes Irving very uncomfortable.

Irving burst to the basket and turned to squeeze Walker's small throw.

"Bang!"

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

Owen 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 he grabbed the ball, he turned around, turned sideways and threw the ball straight forward.

Walker and Butler have already crossed the three-point line.

The Bucks didn't have time to retreat.

Brother Alphabet struggled to catch up from the back, but couldn't catch up.

Walker quickly attacked the frontcourt and saw that Brother Alphabet had just passed half court, so he didn't go directly, but glanced at Butler and smashed the ball directly on the rebound.

Butler understood, jumped to his feet, grabbed Walker's board pass in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

He even swung around the basket after he dunked it!

The scene was stunned, followed by cheers.

Walker's ball was decent in front of him, but this ball was to tell them that the Pelicans brothers basketball was on the show!
