In the second half, Durant and Davis did not play again on the Pelicans, and Curry and Thompson did not play again on the Warriors.

It is obvious that after a real sword and gun first half, both sides started training together.

This is also reasonable. Both teams have a bit of change in substitutes in the summer. They need to find a new rotation through the preseason.

Ding Yanyuhang's performance in the second half was eye-catching.

Like Durant, he is also one of the players who performed well in the World Cup, and that state has also brought it to the new season.

In the end, the Pelicans won the game 103-93 and won their first preseason victory.

Durant scored the highest 22 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Ding Yanyuhang scored 15 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and Kuzma scored 13 points and 5 rebounds.

In a successful preseason game, both sides found their respective problems and highlights through this game.

Moreover, the warm atmosphere of the fans at the scene also made the NBA headquarters fully feel the strength of the Chinese market.

It can be foreseen that the investment of NBA in the Chinese market will only increase and increase in the future.

For fans, it is also a happy thing to have more opportunities to get in touch with their favorite stars.

This is a strong sign of mutual benefit and prosperity and development between the two sides.

Fans from China and the United States are also optimistic about the future on social media.

"The Pelicans have replaced the Rockets as the new link between the NBA and the Chinese market, and they have done a better job."

"Don's existence makes the Pelicans unique, and more and more Chinese players are entering the NBA, which is a good thing for everyone."

"The further success of the Chinese market will further improve the promotion of basketball around the world, and only with good demonstrations will there be new members."

"Yes, the success of the Chinese market can allow the NBA to continue to expand the market to countries such as Japan, South Korea, and even India and the Philippines."

"There will also be more and more NBA players who like to come to Asia because they will realize that they have the best fans in the world."

...

It is no exaggeration to say that because Tang Tian and Tatm and Stern are looking forward to the NBA dream of the world are constantly approaching realization.

After the first preseason game ends, the two sides will move to the Shanghai Stock Exchange for the second game.

Tang Tian also went to the Shanghai Stock Exchange with the team. He was preparing to wait until the Pelicans' Chinese game ended before returning to New Orleans together.

It was past one pm when he got off the plane.

As soon as he turned on his phone, he found that he was bombarded with many phone calls and text messages.

Those are the people he knows, and they have good relationships and ordinary relationships.

All of these information mentions one thing, one news related to Rockets general manager Morey.

Not long ago, Morey posted a personal status on Twitter.

"Fight for zy, be with hk."

This is a very zz-standard saying, because it involves the territorial integrity of the country.

Although Morey quickly deleted the tweet, it has been screenshot by fans and posted on social media.

As the most influential basketball player at present, Tang Tian was quickly received from all parties.

His first reaction was that Morey was sucking his brain.

This didn't happen to him when he traveled through time in his previous life.

But after thinking about it carefully, he understood.

He lived in the United States for so many years, especially the discrimination he encountered when he first arrived at the Spurs, and he could deeply feel the superiority of Americans.

That is closely related to the education you received since childhood and the media information you received.

So Morey's words are probably just things that have been wanted to say but have not said in his heart, because of some external factors.

Maybe it was because of the pride of being invited to enjoy professional services in Japan, or it was because of drinking and bragging with local businessmen, maybe it was because of the jealousy of the Pelicans as businessmen after the huge success of the preseason, or maybe it was because of the overwhelming sponsorship that made Houston fans dissatisfied with the Chinese elements...

There are many possibilities, and no one knows why except Morey himself.

But this best general manager, who has always been known for his savvy, may be really stupid this time.

Because this topic, for example, is as serious as Tang Tian’s public discussion of the racial issue in the United States.

Tang Tian communicated with Taitm on the first phone.

If this problem is not handled as soon as possible, it is likely to ferment into an uncontrollable situation.

"Tang, the problem is not that serious. You know that the status of our national team general manager is very high. Dismissal for no reason will involve legal issues."

Tetm also didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem.

"If you can't get Morey to resign within one day and ask the Rockets to apologize, the Chinese market in NBA is likely to no longer exist."

Only after Tang Tian said this in a very serious tone did Taitum realize how serious the problem was.

"I'll go deal with this matter, and I'll fly to Japan later."

After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Tatm immediately took action.

The biggest difference between him and Xiao Hua is his point of view. He is just as committed to the global promotion of NBA, just like Stern.

Stern visited the cottage three times and said, "Even if it's an advertisement, it's OK" before knocking on the door to the Chinese NBA market.

Tatm certainly would not allow the door to be closed just like this because of the general manager of a team.

Rockets owner Fertitta just returned to Houston not long ago. He was on vacation with his family in Los Angeles not long ago.

As a businessman, his sensitivity is much higher than that, and he foreshadowed that Morey's words would likely bring him hundreds of millions of losses.

So he ended the holiday early.

After Tatm knew Fertita's location, he rushed to Houston while communicating with the phone.

The two of them quickly sat down face to communicate.

"I know the risks of it, but our country supports freedom of speech. All I can do is to clear Morey's relationship with the Rockets so that it doesn't affect the Rockets and the NBA."

Fertita expressed his views.

He knew very well that if he fired Morey at this time because of this "free speech" involved, he would be labeled as big as Sterling and then forced to sell the team.

So he could think of the best way to deal with it.

"I thought so at first, but Tang told me some things about their country. I don't think this can be solved by simply cutting off the relationship. We may have to do much more than this."

“We’re going to have legal problems and we’re going to lose a lot of fans.”

Although Tatum didn't say it, Fertita could tell from his words that he wanted to fire Morey, and he raised concerns.

"Yes, we will lose, but if we don't do that, what we lose is the entire Chinese market. Do you know why NBA can now surpass baseball to become the second sport in the United States? Why do our athletes earn more than NFL? Because of Don, because of overseas markets."

Tatum then said something like a bullet hit Feltita's chest.
