The Golden Invincible of Basketball

Of course, not everyone receives a ring with a unique name.

Only players who have contributed in the finals can get exclusive rings, which is a convention.

The championship ring was awarded on the spot. Every time Kenny Smith read a person's name, that person came to the stage to receive his ring.

First the team management, then the coaching staff, and finally the players.

Tang Tian was the first player to appear.

When his name was called out by Smith's long note, the entire New Orleans Arena was boiled.

The championship scene last season seems to be yesterday, this championship ring award ceremony is to remind them again that they are champions!

Tang Tian walked in front of Xiao Hua, looking at the other person's smile on his face and not smiling, and his heart was inexplicably refreshing.

"Congratulations."

Xiao Hua gave the ring to Tang Tian, ​​congratulating him politely.

"Thank you, I have to trouble you next year."

Tang Tian also replied politely.

next year?

Xiao Hua froze for a moment, but Tang Tian had turned around and walked away, not even hugging him!

This guy!

Does that mean the Pelicans will surely succeed? !!

After Tang Tian, ​​Davis, Jokic ... the entire Pelicans team did not hug Xiao Hua after getting the ring.

The referee question of last year's finals made them quite upset. They were protesting silently!

The scene was roaring.

Xiao Hua still had a smile on his face, but he could feel that it was obviously forced out.

The Pelicans really gave him a kick off.

After the ring was awarded, the team members put on their fingers and posed in front of the camera, looking happy.

The championship trophy belongs to the team, but the ring is their personal and proof of the championship.

After the championship ring award ceremony was over, everyone at the scene stood up under the gesture of Smith, facing the side of the arena.

There was a flag covered by a black cloth.

With the live music, the black cloth was pulled apart a little bit, revealing the words inside.

At the top is the Pelicans flag, below is the words 2015 ~ 2016, and at the bottom is the logo of the NBA championship.

The first championship flag in the history of the Pelicans!

Cheers like the mountains and tsunami sounded at the scene, this is a glorious moment for all of them!

The members of the Pelican team also raised the ring in their hands, this is their moment of glory!

At the other end of the court, the Cavaliers are somewhat envious, and most of them have not tasted the taste of a championship.

After the championship ring was distributed, the scene immediately entered the opening ceremony.

The starting players of the two teams were introduced one after another.

The Cavaliers started the Five Tigers, with Owen and Shumpert on the perimeter, James and Love on the front, and Whiteside on the center.

This is a four-star plus one 3D, absolute champion configuration.

The Pelicans have lineup adjustments here. Boyan replaced Ariza as the starting small forward, which has not been adjusted from training camp to now.

After the opening ceremony, both sides made their debuts. Whiteside and Davis jumped the ball in the middle circle.

Whiteside looked dismissively at Jokic, not far away, and seemed to laugh at the latter for not having the courage to jump with him.

At this moment, the referee threw the ball into the air, and Davis returned the ball to the Pelicans' half court, which officially opened the team's new season.

Hollody's possession of the frontcourt, Bojan and Jokic had a ball pick-and-roll cooperation on the right high, and Bojan used Jokic's pick-and-roll to run three points.

Jokic's pick-and-roll successfully blocked James, Holliday's pass was thrown, and Bojan took the ball and cast it.

Whiteside's inside defense is excellent, and his ability to eat cakes on the offensive end is also very strong, but his traditional weakness is his weakness.

After this shift, he had no time to rush out.

"Oh!"

With a crisp sound, Bo Yang's first three-pointer came into the net.

He is not as defensive as Ariza, but he has a good grasp of this opportunity ball on the offensive end.

The Pelicans screamed for joy at first.

Although winning the championship last season, it was uncomfortable to be forcibly 3 to 3. The fans look forward to the Pelicans winning a hearty victory at home.

Back on the defensive end, the Pelicans expanded defensively. Irving directly held the ball to break the basket, but was blocked by Jokic and Hollodi before and after the shot.

Whiteside grabbed offensive rebounds and scored a second offensive dunk.

He yelled at Jokic after dunking.

He came to the Cavaliers to win Jokic and the Pelicans. The goal just now is his determination.

Huo Ledi advanced to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Tang Tian. Tang Tian called Jokic for a high pick-and-roll.

"Oh!"

Whiteside was still not quick enough to rush out, and Tang Tian went into the net with almost a three-pointer.

At 6-2, the Pelicans opened two straight threes!

Looking back, James continued to make a slam dunk, and Jokic and Davis continued to block back and forth.

After three steps, James made another layup to avoid Jokic, but did not avoid Davis. His shot was almost covered and he followed the box.

This time Davis took advantage of the defensive rebounds and did not give Whiteside the opportunity to grab offensive rebounds.

The Pelicans quickly played a defensive counterattack, and Whiteside had no time to retreat, with a five-on-four in the frontcourt.

Holloday broke Jokic, who turned around and scored off Love.

8-2, the Pelicans opened the offense quite smoothly.

James continued to break through the basket, but his double-team shots still failed to advance. Whiteside's second layup caused Jokic's defensive foul. Less than two minutes have already grabbed two offensive rebounds.

In the boo of the fans, he made two free throws.

Looking back, Tang Tian continued to find Jokic's pick-and-roll, this time Whitesidetti fluttered out, and fluttered thoroughly.

Even if the opponent makes a three-pointer over his head, he will not give this opportunity again.

However, Tang Tian was a fake shooter and flew him into the post quickly.

This time is fast, only James responded to assist defense in place.

Tang Tian didn't attack, a straight ball was plugged into the basket by Davis, and Davis scored with both hands.

10 to 3.

The Pelicans have the upper hand after the opening!

Whiteside seemed to be a big help to the Cavaliers, but it didn't seem to affect the situation ...

Just then, Kenny Smith, the commentator, made a professional analysis.

The Pelicans grabbed Whiteside after the opening.

Needless to say on the offensive end, Boyang has one Tang Tian one and catches all he can't save, including the ball that Tang Tian just used to save and break through.

On the defensive end, the Pelicans expanded their defense.

This is equivalent to forcing the Cavaliers to make a breakthrough, but the results of the breakthrough are also obvious.

Because Whiteside couldn't get out, the Cavaliers' breakthrough space was compressed, and Irving and James failed to complete the end twice.

Even though Whiteside could use his ability to seize some of his chances to score a second offense, his score was limited.

Beat these few minutes, Whiteside is not as effective as Tristan Thompson!

Lu also realized this.

But after realizing it, he was a little bit ridiculous. The Cavaliers hit 98 million in the summer ... Is this a waste?
