The night's ratings hit a record high before the start of the game, and the New Orleans arena was packed with people both inside and outside.

Above the arena, the Pelicans have put up a new poster, and the figure of the Big Four is domineering.

And entering the interior of the arena, beside Tang Tian and Davis on the wall, Walker and Butler also appeared.

Walker had a murderous look in his eyes, and Butler was locking everything with his hands outstretched.

The aura inside and outside is destined to be a season of carnival for the Pelicans.

The fans were screaming as they entered the arena.

Perhaps being a Pelican fan is perhaps the happiest thing about their football careers!

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

Gail Benson replaced Tom Benson with the Pelicans with a championship ring for the following year.

Compared to the first year, this year's ring ideas are not huge, but they are more generous and more valuable.

Xiao Hua, president of the alliance, also appeared at the award ceremony.

One of the interesting things is that because of the grievances with Xiao Hua, the Pelicans team members have not taken a provocative look at Xiao Hua after receiving the ring since Tang Tian.

made Xiao Hua angry, and he had the heart to kill people in his heart, but he still forced a smile on the surface.

His probationary period this year is critical, and he doesn't dare to openly tear his face with the Pelicans.

After the medal ceremony, the Pelicans' second championship flag was hoisted over the arena.

The words 2016~2017 are next to 2015~2016.

Winning the championship for two consecutive seasons, the Pelicans have become one of the most dominant teams in the new century!

The cheers of the fans were overwhelming and enduring.

They know that this is far from the limit of the Pelicans, and the current four-star lineup dynasty is the foundation!

Xiao Hua stood there with a heartache.

He already knew about the live ratings, and he had previously received calls from the owners of several teams that were playing the opener at the same time.

The bosses have threatened him that they will not be able to vote for him next year if the situation does not improve.

In other words, if this trend continues, Tatum's fate will be his end, and his fate may be even worse.

It's just that he can't do anything now, so he can only silently curse the Pelicans in his heart for not playing well.

After the ring presentation ceremony, the scene followed and entered the entrance ceremony.

Both starters came on one after another.

On the Thunder's side, Westbrook and Oladipo on the outside, Roberson and Griffin on the front, and Adams at center.

The biggest change to this squad compared to last season is the addition of Griffin, which is also their biggest addition.

On the Pelicans' side, Walker, Donkey, Butler, Davis, Dedmon!

The four stars came out together, Walker started, and Tang Tian lasted.

The cheers of the fans at the scene were wave after wave, and the excitement was extraordinary.

After a summer of waiting for the Pelicans to form brother basketball, fans finally ushered in their official game!

The game started immediately, and the players began to take the field one after another.

Tang Tian was the last to play.

It was at this moment that something happened that everyone didn't expect.

After Tang Tian wiped his hands with magnesium powder, he did not go directly to the court as usual, but grabbed a handful in his hand, and then faced the audience and threw it into the air fiercely.

There was a flash of lights on the sidelines, and although this scene came very suddenly, it was still captured by many media reporters.

"What is he doing?!"

On the commentary bench, Kenny Smith was stunned.

Throwing magnesium powder, this is James's exclusive action!

Although since the beginning of last season, James has made it clear that he will not continue to use this move until he wins the championship again.

But now what do you mean by this action?!

James' move?

That's a mess!

Tang Tian was calm, and after throwing it, he turned around and went on the field.

That's right, he's the one who makes trouble!

He just wants the Pelicans to grab all the attention and talk about the new season!

The NBA is like a big pot of food, and the Pelicans are going to eat it all this season!

Other teams, there are those who have to drink soup to drink soup! If you don't have to drink, you can stay where it's cool, where you have less physical energy!

The fans at the scene reacted and whistled continuously.

Refreshing!

It's this feeling of crushing everything and having everything!

On the Thunder team's side, there was a feeling of helplessness on the faces of the players.

The Pelicans' crushing posture in the preseason made them lose before they could fight.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Pelicans are like a mountain standing in their hearts, unable to climb and overwhelming them.

"Toot!"

As the referee's whistle blew, Davis returned the ball to the Pelicans half, officially kicking off the new season.

Walker holds the ball and advances to the frontcourt organization.

The Thunder team gives a high level of defensive intensity, and this team is characterized by defense, and what they are best at is also defensive counterattacks.

However, on the first ball, Tang Tian broke through Robertson and scored a one-on-one emergency stop.

Walker, Butler and Davis all have strong defensive containment, and Tang Tian has a rare one-on-one opportunity compared to last season.

And such an opportunity is equivalent to a chance to give points to him.

Looking back, the Pelicans, as in the preseason, still put in a 2-3 defense.

The Thunder's outside capabilities aren't as good as the Lakers they've met before.

Robertson's empty three-point shot was directly a three-pointer, and the rebound was directly taken by Dedmon.

The kind of pressure that the Pelicans gave at the beginning naturally affected their performance!

With the Pelicans attacking, Dedmon pulled Adams out from the three-point line.

Dedmon shot nearly 40 percent from three-point range in the preseason, and the Thunder knew that, and Adams didn't dare to let it go.

Walker blocked Davis on the right side, and after the pick-and-roll, he accelerated to Griffin and hit the board with his trademark low hand on the drift.

Griffin's hand was short, and he hit Walker's hand directly.

The referee's whistle blows for a defensive foul on Griffin.

The ball bounced off the board and fell into the net!

Walker's 2+1 hit!

The cheers continued.

Walker had been playing in the East before, and they weren't very familiar with it, but from preseason to now, they have a whole new understanding.

This is definitely a scoring guard with explosive offensive ability!

Walker's free throw hit steadily, and the Pelicans started the game 5-0!

"Defend! Defend! ”

In just two rounds, the emotions of the fans have been fully mobilized, and the spontaneous shouts and cheers are overwhelming.

The Thunder still didn't have much to do in the face of a 2-3 joint defense, and Robertson was let go of the air and didn't dare to shoot, so he gave the ball to Oladipo.

Oladipo took advantage of Adams' block to break inside.

Dedmon didn't come out, and Butler went straight to the defense.

Oladipo burst into the three-second zone one-on-one, was defended by Butler and had no chance to shoot at all, and finally wanted to turn around and pass, but was directly cut off by Davis!

Terrifying defensive pressure!

Fortunately, the Thunder retreated in time and did not give the Pelicans a chance to play a fast break.

Entering the positional battle, Walker continued to hold the ball and Davis to block and dismantle, and the Thunder chose to wrap Walker this time.

Walker jumped up in the air and stuffed the ball from Griffin's armpit to the middle, Davis followed up in the middle after breaking the ball, and scored with both hands after receiving the ball!

7 to 0!

Following the Bucks, the Thunder were also pressed to the floor by the Pelicans!

The difference is that they are in the regular season!
