The invincible kryptonite of basketball

After the timeout ended, the two sides replaced the substitutes one after another.

Budenholzer glanced at the Pelicans bench and was relieved to see Tang Tian resting off the court.

He has a good relationship with Tang Tian, ​​and he is well aware of Tang Tian's current strength. Now that Tang Tian is resting, it is an opportunity for the Bucks.

Dellavedova came up and received a three-pointer from Hayward, narrowing the point difference to 10 points.

Budenholzer secretly clenched his fists on the sidelines, a little excited.

But his emotions didn't last long. Rose turned around and passed Dellavedova for a layup to pay back.

Hayward missed a layup.

Turning around again, Rose rushed again, and after attracting double-teams, he gave the ball to Siakam immediately.

The Bucks returned to defense quickly, and Siakam didn't have time to make a shot.

But he was very smart. After seeing Rose running out and handing the ball to him, he took advantage of the situation to run a pick-and-roll to block him to death.

It was an opportunity for Rose to dribble beyond the three-point line, and he shot without hesitation.

Shooting has a lot to do with one's self-confidence. The more shots you make, the more accurate your shots will be.

Rose has hit a career-high 37 percent of his [-]-pointers this season, and his shots are decisive.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, the basketball hit the net.

Rose's three-pointer scored!

The Pelicans re-opened the point difference to 13 points.

Tang Tian stretched out his hands to applaud Rose from the sidelines.

He told Demps before that this is an opportunity for Rose and Caruso. After all, Brogdon will be absent for nearly 2 months.

It turned out that it was only the first game, and Rose seized the opportunity.

Chapter 120 and five of Tom Benson's death

Rose's outburst was very sudden. After Budenholzer adjusted his defense to double-team Rose, Rose's several passes were converted into assists.

Rose now is really different from Rose before.

Although he also played sudden points, in the past he was mainly attacking, and most of his passes were passive passes without a mobile phone opportunity after taking off.

But now, he observes the position of his teammates before breaking through, and the selection of the pass is just right.

After so many twists and turns, he finally evolved.

And his own touch is also good in this period, the Bucks have nothing to do with him.

Budenholzer paced back and forth from the sidelines.

With Brogdon's absence and Tang Tian's absence, this was originally an excellent opportunity for the Bucks to close the score.

But he never expected Rose to explode.

And this outbreak lasted throughout the transition from the bench, from the end of the first quarter to the beginning of the second quarter.

As a result, the lead of the Pelicans in this period did not decrease but increased. When the main players of the two sides returned, the point difference had become 18 points.

Wait until the main force of the Pelicans returns, after a burst of output, halftime is over, and the point difference between the two teams has reached 25 points.

The eyes of the Bucks fans at the scene were full of despair.

The agreed revenge match, in the end, let them watch the home team being abused!

In the second half, the Bucks' performance was obviously not as good as in the first half.

The point difference behind is too big, and the mentality of the players is also fluctuating greatly. It is not Horford who can be encouraged to move alone.

At the end of the third quarter, the point difference between the two teams was already 30 away.

Waiting until the transition period of the third and fourth quarters, Bo Yang and Siakam found out and played a 10-0 offensive, directly announcing the early end of the game.

In the end, the Pelicans beat the Bucks 122 to 88 in the away game, winning their first victory after the All-Star break.

Seven Pelicans scored in double figures, Tang Tian scored a team-high 7 points, and Rose had 23 points and 14 assists.

The Bucks' four-star scoring also scored in double figures. Horford contributed 21 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks in his debut.

But apart from the four of them, no one on the team scored in double figures.

The performance of the substitute has become an important factor in determining the situation of the game.

But no matter what, the Bucks were slaughtered four times by the Pelicans as an Eastern Conference team, and they are destined to be the worst team in the Eastern Conference.

Fans talked about the game after the game, and Rose was mentioned more than once.

Better off with more playing time, the Windy Roses have a chance to bloom in New Orleans.

Time flies, and it's mid-March in a blink of an eye.

The Pelicans continued to make great strides in the past half a month, winning all 10 games and averaging 20+ points per game.

Counting before the All-Star Game, after their 40-game winning streak was terminated, they ushered in a wave of 29 consecutive victories!

70 wins is a certainty.

They now really have a chance to beat the 74 wins they set two years ago, and even move towards the incredible 80 wins!

And it is worth mentioning that in the past 10 games, Rose seized the opportunity.

他的上场时间从原来的场均11分钟增加到22分钟，场均能够贡献12.6分3.3助攻，命中率达到49%，三分球命中率也达到40%。

Tang Tian said before that Rose, Caruso and Lamb would fill Brogdon's scoring gap, but now it seems that Rose alone will fill most of it.

The Pelicans' patience paid off.

Their last signing in the summer was a huge profit!

The Pelicans' next game is against the Trail Blazers.

The last time the two teams played against the Pelicans, they lost. In this game at home, they will definitely win it back.

And this time Tang Tian will fight, which is a qualitative difference in their confidence.

After the team's daily training in the morning, Stevens explained some precautions and left the locker room.

Dior started chatting about the girls in the nightclub last night, Bojan and Walker discussed Texas Hold'em skills, Siakam and Butler talked about training methods...

The players talked and laughed, and the atmosphere in the locker room was quite relaxed.

After more than ten minutes, the players all took showers and changed clothes one after another, and the door of the locker room was pushed open again.

Stevens pushed the door in.

The players are wondering how Stevens got there and back.

At this moment, they found that Stevens was followed by team general manager Demps and team president Dennis Lausha.

Such battles are really rare.

"Mr. Benson, just passed away."

After Lausha came in, he spoke.

"We will rush to the hospital now, you all get ready and go with me."

Dempsey continued.

Pelicans owner Tom Benson, dead.

The news came as a huge shock to the Pelicans.

Benson is very willing to invest in the team and treats the players very well.

I went to the team to encourage players in the playoffs several times before, even if I was seriously ill, I never forgot to ask my assistant to visit the team frequently.

The players unconsciously showed sadness emotionally.

Tang Tian also felt sad in his heart.

Although Benson is old and has been bedridden for a long time, he has visited a few times and can feel that time is running out.

But to this day, I still feel uncomfortable.

And for the current Pelicans, this will be a lot of turmoil and shock.

Although Benson let his wife represent the team before, but when this day really comes, his children must not be reconciled.

Family infighting, this is definitely a big influencing factor off the field for this team that aims to make history.

Lausha took the team to the hospital by bus.

They arrived one step too late, and Benson's body had already been sent to the morgue.

Outside the hospital room, Gail Benson was arguing with some of Benson's sons.

Tang Tian was right to be worried.

Seeing them coming, Gail and the others stopped arguing and came to say hello to Tang Tian.

When he seized the time, Benson's daughter Renee took Tang Tian to chat alone.

"Don, I need your support. As long as you are willing to support me, I can find a way to increase the team shares you can buy after you retire."

Renee wanted to drag Tang Tian into this power struggle.

This is also expected, the current grand occasion of the Pelicans is all created by Tang Tian.

Although he is not the team's management, his voice is better than anyone in the management.

"I'm just a player."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

He will not participate in such things as power struggles.

Renee was not reconciled, and promised a lot of benefits, but Tang Tian's position did not change.

The conversation between the two ended up with no substantive results.

After Renee, Gail Benson also found Tang Tian.

But it's different from Renee, because she's in charge of the team now, she's letting Tang Tian focus on the game, and she'll solve the team's problems.

For her, as long as Tang Tian doesn't stand in line and she has Benson's will, it's not a problem to suppress Renee and the others.

"I'm just a player."

Tang Tian's answer was the same as before.

That night, the game between the Pelicans and the Trail Blazers kicked off at the New Orleans Arena.

The impact of Benson's death on the players is obvious, not only the role players, but even the hard-working brothers did not perform well.

On the other hand, the Trail Blazers are still playing like a rainbow.

Lillard is wearing a watch again tonight. Anthony's performance after joining the Trail Blazers is average, but he is also in a brave state tonight.

After halftime, the Trail Blazers turned away and led the Pelicans by 10 points. This is the first time the Pelicans have played this season.

The first thousand and 120 six chapters of the Spurs' new boss

The fans at the scene were restless.

But they also know that the team owner has just passed away, and such a loss is acceptable.

After all, 82 games are very long, and there will always be one thing or another. The last time they lost to the Trail Blazers was because Tang Tian was absent.

Now when the boss dies of illness, and he is a good boss, no one can pretend that nothing happened.

It's just that it's cheaper for the Trail Blazers, who have encountered such good luck twice.
