Chapter 707 The Best Start in Team History

"Tian, ​​the king of the true end of the Tang Dynasty!"

"This scoring explosion reminds me of last season's series between the Pelicans and the Spurs, 24 points in a single quarter and 27 points in a single quarter! Now these 16 points are really a waste, it's a joke!"

"Am I the only one who thinks Don has become stronger? Although he scored less, I think he relied more on his hot touch in the playoffs last year. But this time, the Thunder really couldn't do anything to him. Double teams don’t work anymore.”

"You're not alone. I do feel the same way. Robertson is very strong. He made 9 of 30 shots against Kobe Bryant in the season opener, but in the last quarter he was like air in front of Tang Tian..."

"I think the only thing that can guard against Tang now is his touch!"

"And more importantly, his defense hasn't gotten worse at all. Look at how hard he defended Durant in the third quarter. It's so true. He's a super player with both offense and defense. I think he's really good now." Really on the same level as the peak Kobe!"

"Stevens is also very strong. Look at the current offensive system of the Pelicans. Tang Tian's physical exertion has become less and others can step up and score. This means that Tang can be a top defender at some times. used!"

"And the defensive system! The Pelicans are now averaging less than 90 points per game. This is terrifying!"

"When Tang Tian attacks, others defend, and when Tang Tian defends, teammates step up and score! Stevens and the Pelicans are truly a match made in heaven!"

"Superstars need top coaches. This has been proven countless times. ESPN's predictions this year are really accurate. The Pelicans are going to do something big this year! Do big things!"

"If Tang Tian is not the MVP this year, I'll give a shit!"

"Hey, isn't this the shit-eating guy who didn't win the championship last time when the Pelicans didn't win? This is going to be a double treat!"

"I'm probably going to eat it anyway, so why not get a few more, and it will be amazing if I get it right."

…

On social media after the game, Tang Tian and the Pelicans have been praised to the sky.

When Bo Yang returned to the locker room, he couldn't wait to start scrolling through social media, and then read out these comments one by one.

He was chanting about his teammates while cheering, and the laughter in the locker room never stopped after the game.

He really knows how to create a locker room atmosphere.

Tang Tian heard the cheers from Bo Yang and the team members and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

It's an exaggeration to say that the only thing that can guard him now is his touch.

The first time he put the triple threat into actual combat, it was true that the Thunder couldn't react.

But I have to say that his original choice to exchange for a triple threat was indeed the right one. He is now confident that he can beat anyone one-on-one.

Including Leonard and Butler, who are currently the strongest defenders.

This change will have great strategic significance for the Pelicans.

"You have to pay attention to your defense in the opening rounds, especially the second defensive ball..."

After Stevens came to the locker room, as before, he started talking about areas where the team's defense needed to be improved.

This time, the team members listened very carefully.

In the past, many players felt that Stevens was going too far by picking out these details after every big win.

Players are all human and should relax after winning.

But they were proven wrong.

Stevens’ reminder and this pursuit of excellence are really necessary.

In other words, if they hadn't been so lax at the start, this game wouldn't have been so difficult.

Williams stood aside. Although he was about the same age as Stevens, at this moment he really felt that he had learned a lot from Stevens.

He made a smart choice to stay with the Pelicans.

In the locker room on the other side, Collison was gathering the Thunder players together and saying some words of encouragement.

Losing to the Pelicans is a big blow to the team's self-confidence, which he needs to do as the boss of the locker room.

But he just said that.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound.

Everyone turned their heads, and then discovered that there was a broken Apple latest 6s.plus sitting next to Durant.

Durant started throwing his phone again.

No need to think, he must have been checking social media just now.

The arguments on social media that praise Tang Tian, ​​or even criticize him and praise Tang Tian, ​​can really piss him off to death.

But this is what he asked for. He knew with his toes that there would be no benefit in scrolling through social media, so he still had to scroll through it.

After Durant threw his cell phone, he put his schoolbag on his back and walked straight out of the locker room, leaving a group of players looking at each other.

But this kind of scene has happened many times before, and they are a little bit used to it.

Except for a few people such as Waiters, who had just arrived in the summer, who were still a little confused, everyone else turned back, and Collison even continued his unfinished speech.

Westbrook smiled now.

In the past, he thought it was bad for Durant to drop his phone all the time, but now he thinks it's good to throw his phone to vent his emotions.

And I haven’t seen this scene for more than a year, so seeing each other again brings an indescribable sense of intimacy.

The Pelicans defeated the Thunder and proved their strength well.

Coupled with the fact that the Lakers have been hard pressed to win so far, those fans who complained before the game found that ESPN's predictions this year were rarely accurate.

It seems that the amateur is not ESPN, but former columnist Charlie Ford.

After the game against the Thunder, the Pelicans flew to Phoenix for the last stop of their Western Conference road trip.

The Suns have Bledsoe, immediate combat capabilities like Knight, high-quality newcomers like T.J. Warren, Markieff Mosley, and Ryan, plus this year’s fifth pick Porzingis, on paper. The strength is not very bad.

But just like their chaotic management, their record of 1 win and 5 losses ranks second to last in the Western Conference, and they are basically rebuilding again.

The Pelicans did not encounter much resistance in this game, beating their opponents 115 to 85.

The Suns played without morale, and the only bright spot was Porzingis, who had a double-double of 20 points and 11 rebounds, and has full potential.

Returning to New Orleans with a 7-game winning streak, the Pelicans then played at home against the Magic, Bulls and Trail Blazers.

Except for the Trail Blazers and Pelicans who reached the decisive moment, the other two teams were pinned to the ground and rubbed by the Pelicans.

In the game against the Trail Blazers, Tang Tian once again performed as the king of the final quarter, scoring 16 points in a single quarter to finish the game.

After winning the Trail Blazers, the Pelicans' record so far is 10 wins and 0 losses!

This record set the best start in the history of the Pelicans (including the predecessor Hornets)!

Benson envied the Warriors next door and wanted to invite D'Antoni to take over to replicate the Warriors' glory.

In the end, D'Antoni didn't come, so he retreated and invited Stevens.

But now the Rockets next door have a mediocre start with 6 wins and 4 losses, but the Pelicans have set a team record with a 10-game winning streak.

This is really like planting flowers intentionally but not blooming, but unintentionally planting willows to create shade!
