The New Orleans arena was packed with attendance, fans were enthusiastic, and the atmosphere was comparable to that of a playoff game.

The team's opening game of the new season, coupled with the team's strong performance in the pre-season, has fans looking forward to the new season.

Of course, there is also Tang Tian's contribution to the New Orleans hurricane, which has taken the fans' support for him to a new level.

Signs supporting Tang Tian were held high in the stadium, and they could be seen almost everywhere.

Tang Tian's contribution to the city was limited to the stadium before, but since then, he is a true hero of the city.

At the opening ceremony of the scene, when Tang Tian introduced the appearance, the cheers on the scene were so loud that they could tear down the roof of the stadium.

Tang Tian felt the enthusiasm of the fans and waved his hand, and as a result, he received a bigger response and cheers.

The Pelicans players unconsciously looked up, and the decibel was more exaggerated than in last year's playoffs.

This phenomenon has also given them more confidence on their faces, and they must not let the fans down again this season!

After the opening ceremony, the starting line-ups of both sides were released one after another.

The Pelicans, on their side, are the regular starting five.

On the Hornets' side, Walker and Batum are paired in the backcourt, with Michael Gilchrist and Marvin Williams up front and Al Jefferson at center.

The Hornets' biggest addition this summer is the former Trail Blazers' all-round guard swingman Batum, plus the original Walker and Jefferson, as well as the rookie fourth-year McGegie, the strength on paper has increased significantly.

There was a few minutes of warm-up time after the opening ceremony, and Tang Tian went over to say hello to Walker, and by the way, he also chatted with Jeremy Lin.

In addition to signing Batum this summer, the Hornets' other important signing is Jeremy Lin.

"Don, I'm more confident than ever."

Walker opened his mouth and said to Tang Tian.

He is not the kind of brother who likes to "shout" with Tang Tian before the game, and when he says this kind of thing, he is really full of expectations and confidence for the new season.

Tang Tian patted him on the shoulder with a smile and didn't say anything.

After saying hello, the warm-up ended quickly, and both starters appeared one after another.

Davis easily pulled the ball over Jefferson's head back into the Pelicans half, officially kicking off the new season.

Holiday took the ball to the frontcourt and put it in after seeing Jokic in position.

The Pelicans' style of play is similar to that of the preseason, and the preseason is also a process of their run-in.

Tang Tian burst in with the ball, and the Hornets chose to wrap the ball, and he returned the ball to Jokic who ran to the top of the arc, and Jokic received the ball and threw it with his hand.

Stevens continues to give him verbal encouragement, and he's noticeably more decisive in his three-point shooting now than he was last season.

"Huh!"

Jokic's long-range battery hit a shot and scored a goal for the Pelicans this season!

The scene erupted in cheers.

The Pelicans' offense was like mercury and extremely fluid.

It looks much more comfortable than last season.

The scene showed the camera to Stevens, who loudly reminded the Pelicans players to step back from the sidelines.

Walker held the ball on the outside, beckoned Jefferson to block and then burst to the basket to meet Jokic's difficult throw.

Jokic's defense was good and distracted, but Walker still threw the ball into the basket.

He arched his hands and roared as he scored.

He and Tang Tian said that they were more confident than ever, and they definitely didn't just say it, but they had to stand up first.

"Walker looks to be in better shape than last season, and the Hornets are going to be a blockbuster this season."

On the commentary bench, after seeing Walker's performance, Brin sighed.

Jeff Van Gundy, his partner on the side, nodded.

The Pelicans got to the frontcourt, this time it was Tang Tian who held the ball, Jokic pulled to the three-point line, he and Davis played pick-and-roll, and after the split, he burst into the basket.

The Hornets didn't dare to wrap it up this time, Tang Tian directly dribbled and accelerated past Marvin Williams and flew to the basket.

Jefferson didn't squeeze Jokic and watched Don score on a layup.

The Pelicans scored in their first two offenses of the opening game, scoring five straight points.

Looking back, Walker and Jefferson played a pick-and-roll, the Pelicans wrapped Walker, Walker gave the ball to Jefferson, and Jefferson's mid-range shot was missed.

Jokic protected the defensive rebound, the Pelicans played defensive counterattacks, Tang Tian was in the middle, and Holiday and Ariza were on a left-and-right three-point line fast break.

Tang Tian burst into the basket to attract the defense, and gave the ball to Ariza, who followed up on the right wing.

Ariza catches the ball and makes a three-point shot.

"Huh!"

Three-pointers up and down!

The cheers burst into applause.

The Pelicans opened the game without missing a shot, and three offenses have already hit 7 points!

Walker played with Jefferson again in the frontcourt, and Jefferson shook it this time to attack Holiday and turned to the basket to put it down.

"Bang!"

However, his movements were too slow, and he was directly slapped by Davis, who assisted in the defense, and flew out of the field.

Davis is a beautiful ball, but Jefferson's competitive state, both defensive and offensive, is a big step worse than last season.

The Hornets sent the ball out on the sideline, Walker was caught in the ball, and he got the ball to McGeeji, who was smashed out of the frame with a three-pointer from a meter away.

Davis took the long rebound.

The Pelicans played a defensive counterattack again, and Tang Tian took the lead this time, holding the ball in the free throw line and dunking one step away.

"Bang!"

This snap was so imposing that it set the entire New Orleans arena on fire.

9-2, the Pelicans got off to a perfect start.

Hornets head coach Clifford reached out and called a timeout.

Although the game had only been played for more than four minutes at the beginning, he had a hunch that if he didn't call a timeout, the game would take a quarter.

After a timeout, Walker made a layup and a foul for the Hornets to score.

But it was the only score the Hornets had in the next two minutes.

The Pelicans' single defense, assistance defense, and bag clamping are all impeccable, and the Hornets are completely scoreless except for Walker.

And the Pelicans feel very good tonight, the Hornets prevent this leak and that, prevent that and this, and there is a feeling of being swept to death by random guns.

Halfway through the first quarter, the score on the court was 21-6, and the Pelicans directly broke the Hornets.

And the situation has not improved by the bench stage.

The Pelicans were full of morale, while the Hornets were visibly out of breath after a half-quarter of collapse.

By the end of the first quarter, the Pelicans had led the Hornets by as many as 18 points, 32-13.

Clifford called a timeout in the opening four minutes to keep the game from going to waste, but he called a timeout, and the game was still a one-quarter spent.

During the break in the second quarter, the players got up from the bench and listened to the coach's tactics.

Walker looked up at the score on the field at this time, and then looked at Tang Tian, who was standing next to Stevens in the next half, and felt indescribable.

He also said before the game that Tang Tian had infinite expectations for the new season, but now this scene.

Practicing hard in the brothers' QQ group, Walker quit the group chat......
