Walker played very hard this game, but Jefferson's form declined badly, Batum just arrived at the team and didn't run in, and McGeejee's still poor outside shooting ability, the Hornets didn't find any opportunities for the whole game.

In the end, the Pelicans stretched the difference to 25+ points in the third quarter, and finally defeated the Hornets 95-72 and got the season off to a good start.

The Pelicans scored double-doubles for all six players, Tang Tian, Davis and Jokic all played only three quarters, and the team's highest scoring was Tang Tian's 22 points.

On the Hornets' side, Walker scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Batum and Jeremy Lin scored 11 points each, and no one else scored in double figures.

After the game, Tang Tian and Walker chatted a few more words.

He knows Walker is looking forward to the new season, but meeting the Pelicans in his debut is also bad luck for Walker.

The Pelicans' opening game is really the morale of the whole team, killing God and killing Buddha when they meet God, Walker has become cannon fodder when he hits the muzzle of the gun, and Xiao Hua can only be blamed.

After the game, Tang Tian was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

"The Pelicans were in amazing shape tonight, shooting 53 percent from the field and limiting their opponents to 37 percent, how did you do that?"

The Pelicans' debut performance was explosive, and that's a must-ask question for reporters.

The training camp has been very effective this past summer, and the tactical system brought by Stevens has greatly improved the team's strength, and the opening team is holding their breath......

There are many reasons to answer.

However, Tang Tian was in a good mood now, and instead of answering seriously, he took a handful of skin.

"Because our whole team used the new men's shampoo and used Rejoice, everyone shot so confidently."

After listening to this, the reporter had a black question mark face.

What a magical answer.

“…… I gave each of them a few bottles and they used them all today. ”

Tang Tian touched his hair and repeated the previous words again.

Only then did the reporter confirm that he was really talking about Reojoice shampoo.

And by the way, he said a soft advertising slogan.

This answer is really skinny!

However, it is very topical, which can attract traffic much more than a serious answer.

And Tang Tian didn't forget to talk about the endorsement brand when he was interviewed by reporters, this is an absolute spokesperson with a conscience.

Tang Tian returned to the locker room and saw that the players were talking and laughing.

Having such a beautiful start is a very good start for the Pelicans.

After the players showered, Stevens came to the locker room.

"A beautiful win, but we can do a little bit better defensively, we can limit the opponent to 70 points, Nikolai, you have to be tougher on the inside, Javier, you have to keep improving your defensive position......"

Stevens looked cautious, and despite the big win, he didn't forget to ask his players to do better, especially on the defensive end.

Most of the players felt that Stevens was taking it too seriously, but Stevens didn't care, just emphasized what he wanted to emphasize.

"Enjoy tonight's victory."

When he finished speaking, he said with a smile.

The team members held back long enough to hear this and cheered violently.

Stevens smiled helplessly, and then led Williams out of the locker room.

"We still have a lot of mistakes on the offensive end, and we still have to focus on training in this area......

When Tang Tian heard that when he went out, Stevens was still chatting with Williams about the details of the game.

Although Stevens is young, he is really a person who has experienced big scenes.

After the opening game, the Pelicans have a back-to-back home game against the Nets and Hawks.

In the past two years, the Pelicans and Nets have made consecutive trades, and the home game is also a game for many players from both sides against their former owners.

Delon was bought out, and Russell became a key target for the Nets.

He made a whopping 23 shots in his first game, but only made seven shots, and it will take some time for him to adjust to the NBA.

In addition to Russell, the Nets also started Gordon, Joe Johnson, Ryan Anderson and Lopez.

Two of those five starters are Pelicans veterans.

The game was also more intense than the opening game, and Gordon was very brave against his old main player, scoring 15 points in the first half.

At halftime, the Nets trailed the Pelicans by just eight points.

But in the third quarter, the Pelicans suddenly increased their defensive intensity, and Tang Tian, as the core, led the team to defend, and the Nets' scoring was not continuous.

In this quarter, the Pelicans beat the Nets 27-11, directly stretching the difference to 20 points.

In the end, they also beat the Nets 102-84 and won two straight regular season games.

With two straight wins, and two big wins, the Pelicans have played a very different game than last season.

The next day, the Pelicans continued to play at home against the Hawks.

Neither the Hornets nor the Nets made the playoffs last season, and the Pelicans, while beating them by a wide margin, had limited convincing.

The Hawks, who topped the Eastern Conference last season, are a chance for the Pelicans to prove themselves.

And the Pelicans are back-to-back, and fans predict it's going to be a tight battle.

But the process and the result of the game were a big surprise.

The Pelicans completely overwhelmed the Hawks with excellent defense, and this game was easier than the previous game against the Nets.

105-83, the Hawks, known for their offense, scored less than 90 points in this game.

The game also gave a big boost to the Pelicans' supporters.

This year, ESPN's vision seems to be very unique!

After a three-game home streak and a two-day break, the Pelicans embarked on a road trip to the West.

They first played the Lakers at the Staples Center.

The Lakers have been infinitely underestimated by ESPN this season, but they suffered a three-game losing streak at the start of the season.

Chandler was injured, Shampert left Cleveland, Kupchak didn't make a big deal in free agency, and the Lakers are now relying on Kobe Bryant.

The Lakers didn't bother the Pelicans much in this game, and basically the Pelicans got the game done in the third quarter.

They extended their winning streak to four games with the Lakers.

There are no too thrilling moments, and the Pelicans have been on a winning streak since the start of the game.

However, after this game, the Pelicans' winning streak was not the focus of fans.

After the game, Bryant, who scored 28 points, said something in front of the media.

"I can feel that my body has reached its limits, and it's time to say goodbye to this stage."

"You mean, you're going to retire this season?"

"Yes, that's my choice, Kobe Bryant's basketball career is coming to an end, and he needs to spend time with his family."

"Isn't it because of the frustration after the team suffered four consecutive defeats?"

"No, it's not, it's my final decision."
