The invincible kryptonite of basketball

It can only be said that fate has favored them this season.

It is estimated that after the game, the Trail Blazers fans will have an orgasm.

They're the only team to win against the Pelicans this season, and they've won once or twice.

Just when many people thought so, the situation changed suddenly in the second half.

The Pelicans recovered after a halftime adjustment.

Under the leadership of Tang Tian, ​​they played a completely different half from the first half, holding the Trail Blazers firmly.

Lillard was also lost by the touch of Butler's defense.

The Pelicans lost first and then won, outscoring the Pelicans by a full 30 points in the second half.

They ended up beating the Trail Blazers 116-96, extending their winning streak to 30 games.

At the press conference after the game, a reporter asked why the Stevens team had such a big difference between the first half and the second half.

"You have to ask Don about that."

Stevens didn't answer directly.

"Don told us that winning the game is the best farewell to Mr. Benson. He loves this team and he likes to win."

Tang Tian didn't speak, Davis took the microphone and spoke for him.

It is definitely not easy for me to say this kind of thing directly. Davis's emotional intelligence is getting higher and higher.

But it is reasonable for Tang Tian to say so.

Benson's favorite player during his lifetime was Tang Tian, ​​and the team should do the same for all reasons.

The day after the game, the league also expressed condolences on Benson's death.

Since Benson took over the Hornets, which was managed by the league at the time, in 2012, it can be said to be a timely help to the league.

In just a few years, the Pelicans/Hornets selected Davis, dug Tang Tian, ​​and replicated his miracle in the NFL.

And the current Pelicans are already the strongest team in the league, and the market is second only to the Lakers and Knicks.

As a boss, his career is very successful, and he is also very humble in dealing with others, and he is willing to invest in the team. His popularity is very good.

David Stern: The passing of Mr. Benson is a great loss to the league. He was the most important asset of the league and one of my best friends. What a sad news;

Silver: Benson was our friend and we mourn his passing;

Vivek Ranadive (Kings owner): I was shocked to hear the news of the passing of Tom Benson. Tom gave back to New Orleans and the entire state of Louisiana. On behalf of the Sacramento Kings, I send my condolences to his family, Pelicans , the Saints, and the City of New Orleans extend our sincerest condolences;

LeBron James: Benson is one of the best owners in the league. He has made an immeasurable contribution to New Orleans. My heartfelt condolences to his wife, Ms. greeting.

FOX Sports Official: Mr. Benson was one of the best owners in the league. His departure is a sad thing not only for the NBA and NFL, but also for all fans and media. We mourn him and wish him well family is well;

……

With the condolences from all walks of life, everyone is also curious about who the Pelicans will be in charge in the future.

As the number one team in the league, if there is a change of power, or even turmoil like the Bass family, the impact will be huge.

However, this kind of thing will not have an immediate result, and the fans' discussions will not stop immediately.

At this time, an equally interesting thing happened in the league.

The new owner of the Spurs has been officially confirmed.

After Holt was forced to sell the team, the new owner of the Spurs has been inconclusive.

There are many reasons for this.

The league hopes that the new owner of the Spurs should preferably be a local entrepreneur in San Antonio, so that the impact can be minimized.

But the reality is that there are very few owners who are interested in the Spurs, let alone the local area, even in the United States.

The Spurs' ball market is too small. Although there are many champions, the team's market value and annual profits are all lower in the league.

Only a little more than those teams in small cities with no record.

That's one reason Holt made the deal with Methodist.Healthcare privately.

San Antonio has a large population, but it is too restrictive as a military town.

So this matter has been delayed again and again until recently.

ccx, the second shareholder of Alibaba from China, finally bought Holt's team shares in full with an irresistible offer.

It is said that this acquisition raised the market value of the Spurs from $8 million to $11 billion.

From this point, it can be seen that the price paid by ccx is definitely not small.

But this also shows another thing. In front of money, many problems are not problems.

In fact, there have been rumors long ago that entrepreneurs in the United States are not very interested, and on the contrary, overseas entrepreneurs are not interested.

But many people scoffed at the possibility.

After all, San Antonio is an important military town, and the US government will not allow such a thing to happen.

Furthermore, countries are very cautious about the outflow of funds, and the governments of various countries will also intervene in the sale of hundreds of millions of dollars.

But it turns out that those problems are not a problem when it comes to money.

Money turns ghosts, money is omnipotent in these things.

After ccx acquired the Spurs, it also became the first Chinese boss in the NBA!

This incident caused a wave of turmoil among domestic fans.

"League No.1 belongs to China, and now there are Chinese owners. Can I say that the Chinese are becoming the masters of the NBA?"

"NBA, China's No. [-] basketball league!"

"No, the NBA belongs to China, but it also belongs to the world. (づ●─●)づ"

"Speaking of which Benson is dead, can Tang Tian consider buying the Pelicans?"

"I think it's totally okay. Tang Tian's current assets are already among the top active players, right? Forming a consortium is fine!"

"A weak question, if I pay 2000 yuan a month, can I become a minority shareholder?"

"Go away! I'll offer 3000, just one share! In order to buy the Pelicans, I'll fight!"

"Okay, okay, stop kidding, Tang Tian is still a player now? How to buy the team? Do you want him to retire immediately?"

"That's true. The NBA does not allow players to own shares. If they could, someone would have been the owner of an NBA team."

"Let me guess who are you blackmailing?"

"It still needs blackmail? Don't you know who is the most successful businessman among NBA players?"

"It's definitely not my emperor, if it is, you are black!"

……

The first thousand and 120 seven chapters became a fisherman

Tang Tian smiled and shook his head looking at these comments on social media.

Becoming the owner of the Pelicans would be his plan, but not now.

He hasn't said that he has lost interest in basketball like Jordan, on the contrary, he is now more interested.

Time flies, and it is more than half a month in a blink of an eye.

The time has entered April, which is also the last month of the regular season. Strictly speaking, it should be the last half month.

The Pelicans also have only six games left.

In addition to losing the last game of the season with the Mavericks, their current record is a terrifying 74 wins and 2 losses.

Before the end of the season, they have already tied the regular season record of 74 wins they created two years ago!

Sweep the Cavaliers, sweep the Warriors, sweep the Rockets, sweep the Spurs, sweep the Bucks...

Their performance in the regular season can really be described as crushing all the way.

They have become the only team in history.

Moreover, they also have the opportunity to raise this record to a new dimension.

80 wins, that unattainable number.

However, Stevens' character has not changed.

He did not insist on this record as before, but began to rest the main players in rotation, giving more opportunities for substitutes and bench players.

There is no need to worry about the state of the four brothers who have worked hard. What he has to do now is to adjust the state of the others before the playoffs.

New York headquarters.

"Go and explain to the owners of the remaining teams. Now that the Pelicans are resting, this is their chance to win. They must not be allowed to win 80 games!"

Xiao Hua said to his new assistant Main Sock.

Borgia had been fired by him not long ago because of his lack of ability to handle affairs.

Although Sock's mind is not so flexible now, he is more efficient in handling things.

After receiving the order, Sock turned around and went to work.

Xiao Hua turned his chair and looked out the window, his face was gloomy for a while.

This season is a double torture for him physically and mentally.

The strength of the Pelicans has made him unable to resist, and the owners of other teams have stated that they will no longer support him as the official president, which makes him even more disheartened.

He hibernated for half a year, but what he finally waited for was this ending.

He stepped down before, relying on his own skills, the death penalty became a reprieve.

But now, he is really like a death row prisoner who has been sentenced to death, and even the execution date has been set.

The only difference between execution and execution is time.

As for what he's doing now, it's like digging the brick wall of a prison with his hands, doing some useless struggles.

April 4st, April Fool's Day.

On this day, the Pelicans are a guest in Memphis, ushering in the last match against the Grizzlies of the season.

103:90.

Despite the hard training, only Butler played in the four brothers, even though the Grizzlies played quite hard.

But led by Butler with 29 points and 6 rebounds, the Pelicans still won the game.

After winning this game, they also won the 75th win of the season, successfully breaking the NBA regular season record.

Double happiness.

On the night that the Pelicans set a new regular-season record, the infighting at the top of the Pelicans finally made progress.

Gail Benson essentially regained control of the Pelicans after winning Renee Benson's lawsuit.

With Tom Benson's Bead in hand, that's to be expected.

That's good news for the Pelicans, too.

Tom Benson hadn't been out of the hospital for more than a year due to illness, and Gail Benson was managing the Pelicans' affairs.

Although there is a gap in ability, her attitude is very good.

Including the super broadcast contract signed with FOX before.

So she regained control of the Pelicans, basically no turmoil for the Pelicans, and it is also the best result.

But just when everything seemed to be settled, a piece of news in the New Orleans Daily News caused an uproar.

In the latest report of this media, it is claimed that Tang Tian supports Renee Benson to take charge of the Pelicans.

This report is pretty good, and it tells the content of the exchange between Renee and Tang Tian.

He also declared that Tang Tian would support Renee because he would have the opportunity to buy more shares in the Pelicans after retiring.
