Chapter 503 Xiao Hua's Business Experience (Second Update!)

The Clippers were finally defended by the Pelicans for 24 seconds.

The mood of the fans at the scene has been completely high.

Tang Tian assisted Evans and scored 2 points in the basket.

The Pelicans got off to a strong start, mobilizing even Evans' negligibly low desire to attack.

And looking back, Paul's mid-range was also interfered by Holiday.

The Pelicans played a fast break, and Tang Tian made a three-pointer in the face of Barnes' pursuit!

7 to 0!

Less than three minutes after the opening game, Rivers reached out and called a timeout.

The Pelicans are at 120% tonight!

Davis and Holiday both excitedly high-fived their teammates as the Pelicans left the field.

This is the characteristic of a young team, with great ups and downs, a thin line between good and bad.

In this home game, Tang Tian and Davis performed well on both offensive and defensive ends in the opening game, mobilizing the whole team's state at once.

During the timeout, Rivers poured down another burst of chicken soup on the Clippers players.

His chicken soup is warm and nourishing, and it really works wonders.

The Clippers were more patient offensively after returning from a timeout. Under the leadership of Paul, they stabilized the situation on the court and did not allow the Pelicans to open the point difference to double digits.

With two minutes left in this quarter, the two sides entered the substitute rotation.

After Crawford came up, he made a beautiful change of direction and passed Holiday for a layup, but his shot was slapped out of the field by Whiteside!

Whiteside is not good enough to start now, but it is obviously enough to play as a substitute.

Blocking shots, especially this kind of bleeding is very morale-boosting.

Starting from this block, Gordon and Anderson fired frequently on the offensive end, continuing to widen the point difference.

By the time they switched back to the starting lineup in the second quarter, the Pelicans' lead had reached double digits.

When the main force came back, Davis came up and hit a mid-range pass from Tang Tian.

The defense drives the offense. Davis played tough on the defensive end in this game, played confidently, and his touch naturally improved.

At halftime, the Pelicans led the Clippers by 15 points 50 to 35.

This point difference is also the largest point difference between the two teams since the series.

After Griffin broke out in the last game, he played very sluggishly in this half, scoring only 6 points and 3 rebounds, and was also risked 2 by the opposite Davis in the half.

During the halftime break, Rivers continued his chicken soup speech.

Griffin was empty at this time.

If you drink too much chicken soup, you will not feel it.

Back in the second half, the Clippers went first.

After Griffin and Paul cooperated in the pick-and-roll, he received a pass from Paul and flew to the frame.

Davis became more confident as he played more and more. At this time, he was struggling to catch up and blocked again.

"boom!"

Griffin tried to make a quick release, but he and Davis were too far apart to avoid it.

Davis sent another blood shot.

3rd time in this game!

Griffin was obviously upset after being taken off, and turned around and pushed Davis.

Tang Tian stepped forward quickly at this time.

Seeing Tang Tian go up, Evans flew to confront Griffin first.

The Clippers also joined Paul and Barnes.

There was a conflict on the field.

Fortunately, the referee responded in a timely manner and separated the people on both sides to avoid the escalation of the situation.

There were boos at the scene.

This Clippers team has been in constant conflict with their opponents since Rivers took over, and now they are behind and come back again!

The referee gave Griffin a technical foul after a technical timeout, temporarily quelling the conflict.

But this technical foul didn't play much role, and the players on the field moved more and more.

It has been 3 years since Paul took over the Clippers. The whole team has made a lot of small moves, and the Pelicans are also young and vigorous.

The whistle of the game was intensive, and there were several fights on the verge of conflict on the field.

And the referee's judgment is obviously biased.

Davis was called an offensive foul when he layup with an elbow, and Griffin pushed with his left hand when he was layup, but he was called a foul by the defensive player.

This is a rare away call.

The boos never stopped.

The appearance of such a whistle is obviously abnormal, but it is also reasonable.

During the Stern period, there was also a tendency to whistle for the ratings.

For example, teams like the Celtics and Lakers played in the Finals in 2010 must be better than the Magic and Suns.

But those are mostly home whistles, and away whistles like this are really rare.

But obviously, his successor Xiao Hua didn't think so much. He paid more attention to business, especially the business in the United States.

The Clippers are a Los Angeles team, and the commercial value he can create in the second round is definitely more than that of a small market like the Pelicans.

As for the overseas market brought by Tang Tian? How much is that worth!

Taking the TV broadcast contract most closely related to the NBA as an example, his expectation for the new contract next year is 2.5+ billion US dollars a year.

China? That place is worth $100 million a year.

Therefore, the overseas market that Stern values ​​most is just icing on the cake in his opinion.

Stern doesn't distinguish between priority and secondary, but he can understand clearly.

So this whistle is completely reasonable.

Williams went to the sidelines several times to protest to no avail. He was afraid that the players would be injured, so he turned around and called Ci Shiping directly.

Metta Shiping came on to replace Morrow.

Paul used Griffin's mobile pick-and-roll to hit a mid-range hit, and the Clippers narrowed the score to 10 points.

For the Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian also responded with the pick-and-roll, but the referee's late whistle gave Evans a mobile pick-and-roll.

There are many confrontations on the court, and Evans is indeed suspected of moving the pick-and-roll.

But this whistle came too late, and Griffin didn't blow the similar action in front!

The emotions of the fans at the scene had reached a peak, and they almost drowned the referee's saliva.

Griffin singles Davis in the low post, and the two have a lot of physical confrontation.

Griffin was in poor condition and was extremely irritable. He knew that Davis was not as good as him in confrontation, so he bent down and turned Davis over.

After the referee blew his whistle to signal him an offensive foul, he didn't stop, stepping over Davis and dunking directly.

Tang Tian became angry when he saw this, and was about to go up.

A figure was faster than him.

Ci Shiping raised his fist and rushed towards Griffin.

Griffin saw Ci Shiping's ferocious face, and suddenly recalled in his mind the scene when the two teams played against each other in the regular season, when Barnes was pushed to the ground and beaten violently.

His first reaction was to turn and run.

Seeing Ci Shiping, Barnes did not dare to go up to help, and Paul stayed away again.

Ever since, under the inconceivable eyes of everyone, Ci Shiping chased Griffin in the field!

Griffin had short hands and legs, and fled all the way around the court. Ci Shiping was old and slow, so he didn't catch up!

All the fans laughed at this moment.

Griffin has always been known for his explosive dunks, and has the nickname "Gilifen".

But this time, he didn't even have the idea of ​​confronting Ci Shiping, or even fighting and retreating. He was chased and ran all over the field, which really surprised people!
