Tang Tian’s speech was very contagious, and his foundation also received support and response from many people.

And before he knew it, his personal influence was also improved.

If you are poor, you will be safe and you will be able to help the world. If you are rich, you will be able to help the world is a creed that many Chinese people adhere to.

What Tang Tian is doing now is to help the world, which resonates with them very much.

Two days later, the second game of the China Championship was held at the Wukesong Arena in Beijing.

The purpose of the last game was to promote the basketball school, and this game was a serious fan benefit.

Wukesong is currently the stadium with the largest number of seats and the most advanced equipment in China. It can accommodate 20,000 people to watch the game at the same time. It is an absolutely NBA-level stadium.

Before the game, the head coaches of the two teams also revealed in front of the media that this game will be played as the regular season.

The game process was the same as what the two head coaches said, both sides played until the last moment.

The result is similar to the first game. The Pelicans defeated the Rockets 110-101 and won two consecutive Chinese games.

The three giants on the Rockets all showed their strength, Harden scored 29 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, Paul scored 20 points and 11 assists, and Cousins ​​scored 25 points and 12 rebounds.

Even West on the bench scored 13 points.

But fans who watched the game knew that the Rockets were just like the first game, and they basically relied on their personal abilities to play.

On the contrary, the Pelicans scored in double digits, which made the feeling of team basketball.

And at the critical moment, Stevens' on-site command really beat D'Antoni a lot.

The winner of the preseason is irrelevant, but after watching two preseason games, fans are glad that the Pelicans chose not D'Antoni but Stevens.

"We still need to get in, and I believe we will find form before the season starts."

D'Antoni's tone at the post-match press conference was relaxed, but he could still feel the pressure between his eyebrows.

He failed to coach F4 in the Lakers. If the Rockets Big Three fail, then his coaching career will really come to the end.

Learning from his mistakes, he and Boozderick spent the night studying in the room after the press conference.

By the day after the next day, the two of them developed a tactical system called "magic ball theory".

The so-called Magic Ball theory refers to focusing the offense at the end of the basket with more three-pointers and higher shooting percentage, and maximizing scoring efficiency.

They are very confident in this tactical system.

After the Chinese match, the two teams returned to the United States together.

In the next half month, the Pelicans played preseason with five other teams one after another.

Without exception, they all won the game.

For the first time in Tang Tian's Pelicans' period, the Pelicans achieved a record of 7 wins and 0 losses in the preseason.

This record itself is actually meaningless, but it was achieved when the main players didn't have much time to play, which is very telling.

This team's progress in strength is clearly visible.

And more importantly, after the entire preseason game, the Pelicans used all the things in training camp in actual combat.

Offense still takes time to polish, but defense already looks like Stevens expected, and has a qualitative improvement over the previous one.

The preseason game is over, and there are still four or five days left before the official program of the new season.

At this time, espn made a wave of predictions about the new season, and also made a strength ranking.

This is also a list that fans are paying great attention to.

Not only because espn is an authoritative website, the analysis will be more professional.

More importantly, espn has been slapped in the face in recent years, and they are looking forward to the slapped in the face in the new year.

Because former columnist Charlie Ford has left, the list is produced by new columnist Kevin Pelton.

The Pelicans top the list.

“Their pre-season performance is gratifying and Brad Stevens proved that he is the best coach to coach this team.

And we saw a more mature Davis, a more stable defense Jokic, and what we can't ignore is that they got a top-quality shooter Bogdanovic.

Of course, the most important thing is that their desire to win the championship this season will be stronger than that of all other teams.

They reached the Western Conference Finals last year, and we have reason to believe that they can break out of the West this year and beat the Cavaliers to win the final championship.”

The second in the list is the defending champion Warriors.

"They are excellent. They won the championship in their first year under the Cole system. Maybe it would be crazy to say that, but I believe they will achieve better regular season results in the new season after running in for a season.

Their only weakness is their strength, they are projection-type teams, which will make their performance fluctuate in the playoffs.

This is why they are ranked behind the Pelicans.”

The Cavaliers ranked third on the list.

"Tiger understanding is a very important part of the basketball game. After running in for a season, the Cavaliers will be stronger than last season, and more importantly, they have ushered in the return of Love and the joining of a number of high-quality role players.

They should be the hottest team to win the championship, but defense is their biggest weakness, and this will be deadly in the playoffs."

The Spurs rank fourth.

"They should have eliminated the Pelicans in the playoffs last year to advance to the Western Conference Finals and faced the Warriors at the peak, but Don's outstanding performance made them regretfully eliminated. In the new season, they added a new player on the basis of retaining the original lineup. His name is Lamarcus Aldridge.

Yes, it sounds like an exciting thing to add an All-Star team to a team with great strength in the West Finals.

I believe Popovich can perfectly solve Aldridge's integration problem, but the only problem is that they look really old."

The Rockets ranked fifth.

“Yes, I put it in this position, and I’m not disrespectful to any of Harden, Paul or Cousins, as I always mentioned, they need time to run in, like they did with the Pelicans in preseason game, the run in can be a headache.

But the good news is that D'Antoni seems to have created a good system for this team, and I believe they will prove themselves in the future."

The Knicks, Thunder and Mavericks ranked 6 to 8th on the list.

Other popular teams, the Clippers ranked 9th, the Trail Blazers ranked 11th, the Heat ranked 15th, and the Lakers ranked 25th.

After this list came out, it attracted crazy complaints from fans.

Not only because the Lakers were ranked 25th, but more importantly, the number one on this list was not the Warriors or Cavaliers in the finals last season, but the Pelicans!
