The 32-point difference is not irreversible, but the Thunder failed to do it.

In fact, when the score difference was less than halfway through the third quarter and the score difference was widened to the outside 40, the Thunder's mentality had already collapsed.

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Thunder 126-88 at home, winning the season's opening game.

Westbrook scored the most on the Thunder, with 7 of 25 shots scoring 22 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists, while Griffin scored 20 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Pelicans have blossomed more points, and the 7 players scored in double digits.

The four giants only played for three quarters, Walker scored the team's highest 21 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Davis scored 20 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks, Tang Tian scored 17 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists, Butler scored 14 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals.

In terms of the bench, Brogden scored 16 points and 5 assists, Boyan scored 12 points, Siakam scored 11 points and 3 rebounds, Dedmond scored 6 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks, and Lamb scored 6 points.

This is a standard crushing victory.

"38 points! In fact, the difference between the scores at the end of the three quarters is 45 points! It's so scary!"

"What's even more terrifying is that Tang has only made 11 shots in total, less than half of his average shots last season..."

"Tang: Before I exert my strength, you are already kneeling and calling you dad!"

"The only pity that the Pelicans Big Four didn't play in the last quarter, otherwise they would have gone for 58 points again!"

"It's really cruel, there's no chance at all!"

"By the way, the Pelicans' performance is probably the strongest team in NBA history, right?"

"It's average, it's the third in the league."

“-____________-”

"Facts have proved that espn's ranking is not reliable at all. Not to mention the Pelicans, the Thunder ranks higher than the Bucks, but they are even more abused!"

"Will Donovan get out of class?"

"Why...it's really possible, hahaha!"

"Hey, this is really a fart. The Pelicans' lineup is so hooligan! This is simply revenge on society!"

"Everything has to start with Xiao Hua's comeback. Before he returns, Demps once stated that he would not change the lineup."

"Then Xiao Hua returns, the Pelicans trade for Butler, sign Walker, Demps: It's so good!"

"I'm tired, as Lei Mi, I no longer have love."

"Brother, what are you doing? You're going to be a thunder girl! You're going to be a thunder girl! You're going to be a thunder girl for a while, you're going to be a thunder girl for a while!"

"By the way, did you notice that magnesium powder was thrown before the Tang Dynasty? Is this the way to LeBron, leaving LeBron with no way?"

"This is too ruthless. If LeBron wins the championship, wouldn't he be the first and second in the league? Who is the higher magnesium powder thrown?"

"This scene...Brother, you are such a talent!"

"No, do you think LeBron can still win the championship?"

"Probably, maybe, maybe, there's a slight chance?"

"That's a big deal! Just the Pelicans lineup, don't think about the championship, but it's true that you can continue to increase the total number of runner-ups."

"It's so dark, it's so dark."

...

After the game, the fans on social media were no different, and basically everyone was discussing the Thunder and the Pelicans game.

As for other games, there are much fewer people watching than last year, and the discussion is even rarer.

This really brings all the attention to the Pelicans.

"How do you evaluate the team's performance tonight?"

At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked Tang Tian such a question.

"We played pretty well, but we still have a lot to improve, and this is just our first game and we will play better in the next game."

It can be better!

Tang Tian’s answer is actually nothing wrong, but after winning 38 points, wouldn’t he have to go for 40 points, 50 points, and 58 points?!

And the key point is that there is really nothing wrong with what you say. This is just the Pelicans' first regular season game!

The team that was going to play against the Pelicans later felt like a doggy feeling when they heard this!

The fans were caring, and Tang Tian was pretending invisibly, but the one in the best mood at this time was Gail Benson.

After the game against the Thunder, her vice president told him that fox increased their broadcast contract offer.

Before the start of the season, fox had already quoted them for broadcast contracts, which cost 750 million in 10 years.

Benson did not agree at that time. On the one hand, he felt that the offer was low, and on the other hand, he had to ask Tang Tian for advice.

But after one game, fox completely realized the value of the Pelicans and re-quoted 1 billion for 10 years!

This is a pretty exaggerated data. You should know that there are very few teams with exclusive broadcast contracts in NBA, the largest one is the Lakers' 20-year 3 billion.

On average, it is equivalent to 150 million in a year.

That's a Los Angeles team and a small city like the Pelicans can get this offer, which is quite amazing.

After getting this offer, the day after the Pelicans and the Thunder finished the game, Benson sent someone to invite Tang Tian to his manor.

Tang Tian was not too surprised when he heard the news.

The Pelicans are now a phenomenal performance in the league. It is too late to delay the media signing with him alone.

However, the broadcast of fox against the Pelicans is somewhat different from Time Warner against the Lakers.

Exclusive broadcasts, like Time Warner, refer to those charged for fans in the Los Angeles area.

The reason why this is done is because Time Warner has a very high rating in the Los Angeles area.

The ratings of fox in the New Orleans area and even surrounding cities are obviously incomparable to that.

Therefore, this broadcast contract is complementary to the broadcast contracts of an alliance.

In addition to charging New Orleans and surrounding cities, his broadcast is even bigger than that when the Pelicans’ game is not broadcast nationwide, it will broadcast nationwide.

To put it in terms of numbers, after Xiao Hua's comeback, the Pelicans' official live broadcasts of the United States this season were only 24 games, 8 fewer than last season.

Then fox will broadcast the remaining 58 games across the United States through their media.

To a certain extent, Xiao Hua helped the Pelicans against the Pelicans.

If it weren't for so many live broadcasts, fox Sports wouldn't have provided such a large offer.

"Fox Sports was also a participant in the Xiaohua incident, so I was very concerned about this."

Benson said indirectly, he knew that Tang Tian was greatly affected by the Xiaohua incident.

“That’s not a problem.”

Tang Tian didn't care about that matter at all. On the contrary, he felt that fox was the most suitable one.

After all, fox was Xiao Hua's royal media before, so signing a contract is equivalent to fighting them over.

In other words, it is definitely a good thing to cut off one of Xiao Hua's arms.

"But I think the offer is a bit low."

Tang Tian continued.

“Low?”

Benson looked at Tang Tian in surprise.

"It's low. The 58 games of the nation's live broadcasts are twice as many as espn and tnts. Even if the number of games is fewer next season, it's higher than them. Now the official NBA record of the nation's live broadcasts is 40 games for the Lakers. According to that, tnt is still more than espn and tnts."

After Tang Tian finished speaking, Benson looked at him in shock.
