Chapter 745: The Battle of the Century

In the first five days of December, the Warriors and the Pelicans each had two games, and both sides successfully won the opponent.

After the end of their respective games, the two teams will usher in their first season on the 6th.

In May this year, boxing champions Mayweather and Pacquiao played a boxing champion game at the MGM Hotel in Las Vegas.

The game only lasted 36 minutes, but the accumulated revenue from tickets and broadcasts exceeded 400 million, so it is called the Battle of the Century.

The Warriors are now 18 consecutive victories, while the Pelicans are 19 consecutive victories. Two teams that have not lost their way to the opening of the season will compete at the New Orleans Arena.

The strength of the two teams in the season, coupled with the grudges of last season, this game can be regarded as the NBA version of the battle of the century.

The tickets for this game were also fryed several times by scalpers.

The live game is espn, but some media such as TNT and Fox will also broadcast TV at the same time after negotiating with espn.

The attention of this game is comparable to that of the NBA finals.

The huge attention also made the Spinach Company unable to sit still, and they opened trading one after another.

The handicap shows that the Warriors gave the Pelicans 1.5 points.

Although there are few handicap points, the bookmakers are still optimistic that the Warriors can win the game.

The day before the game, the players of both teams conducted open training in the training hall.

Both the Warriors and the Pelicans attracted a large number of reporters to watch.

"I won't care about the attention of the outside world. All I have to do is focus on the game and help the team win the game. The Pelicans have become much stronger this season, and we have become stronger. I will do my best in the game."

Curry is still as low-key as ever in front of the media.

But his teammate Green had a completely different tone.

"We eliminated them last season, they won some games ahead, but we will still win the game like last season."

Green's big mouth is really much bigger than Barkley.

"The Pelicans have one more game in a winning streak than you."

The reporter reminded.

"That's related to the schedule, man, we've played against the Cavaliers, Grizzlies, Mavericks, and we beat the Rockets twice, so what you said doesn't make sense, I'm already waiting for the game to go to the bar to celebrate after the game."

Green didn't care.

"bar?"

The reporter asked curiously.

"Yes, I told them, if we win the game, we will go to the bar, the coach allows it, and I will pay for all the consumption."

Green said with a smile, and it was obvious that he had already thought of a way to celebrate.

But this is Green, who is high-profile and has a big mouth, but he knows how to get along with his teammates.

Curry was not far away. He couldn't help but shake his head when he heard Green's extremely bad character, but he didn't say anything.

The attention of the game tonight is very high, and the Warriors cannot lose.

On another venue, Tang Tian also accepted an interview with reporters.

"Our opponents are strong, they are stronger than last season, but we are, and we have enough confidence to beat them."

Tang Tian expressed his confidence in the game in front of reporters.

"And we have secret weapons, I believe they will like it."

Moreover, during the interview, Tang Tian pretended to be mysterious and kept him in a silence.

This made the reporters extremely curious, but Tang Tian just didn't reveal what it was.

"That's a very powerful weapon. You will be excited during the game!"

Boyang was passing by at this time, and he came to the microphone and said with a smile, and then ran away.

Tang Tian looked at Boyang's back and shook his head helplessly. Boyang is now the Pelicans' big treasure.

"We know that when the two teams fought last season, the referee's penalty issue had a great impact on the game. Are you worried about this?"

The reporter from tnt asked a more sensitive question.

This season, the league is much more sensitive to referees' remarks than before, and many people have already suffered huge fines for commenting on referees.

So this reporter's question can easily lead to Tang Tian's fine.

"I'm not worried that the attention this game has received worldwide is unprecedented. Regarding the NBA image issue, I believe that the referee can definitely enforce the law fairly in such a game."

Tang Tian’s answer was very smart. He was changing his direction and putting pressure on the league.

However, this method and strength are just right.

Now that Xiao Hua's desire to control the game is not as strong as that of his peak, he will definitely consider it.

The New Orleans Arena on the next day, the attendance rate on the scene was overwhelming, and the aisles on the second floor were filled with fans.

If the venue allows, this game can be filled in the rugby hall.

During pre-match training, Curry threw a long three-pointer directly in the backcourt, and he would hit it with one shot.

This also shows his super hot state this season, and he is creating his personal peak season.

After the warm-up, the opening ceremony was entered.

Cole played five small teams at the beginning, including outside splashes, inside Barnes Green, and small forward Iguodala.

This lineup also expresses Cole's determination to win.

The Pelicans are still in the regular lineup.

There is a last three minutes of preparation time after the opening ceremony, and the commentator's seat also began to warm up in advance.

This game is broadcast live by espn.

In addition to the ace commentator Brin, the other two other partners are the old partner Reggie Miller and the other is Jeff Van Gundy.

"Reggie, Jeff, who do you think has a bigger chance of winning this game? Is it the Pelicans who play at home or the Warriors who visit."

Brin said as he looked at the two guests, which was a must.

"The Warriors, they have defeated many strong opponents in the past, but the Pelicans' winning streak has a lot to do with the schedule."

Miller's analysis coincides with what Green said, which is something that many people want and see.

Bolling nodded and then looked at Van Gundy.

"Pelicans."

His thoughts are not the same as Miller.

"The Pelicans have played historically-level defense this season. The last team that did this was the Celtics in 2008. The defense determines the outcome, especially in high-level games."

Van Gundy is a defensive first player, and his analysis is very personal.

"But Curry's offense this season can ignore defense at certain times, such as at the last moment of the game."

Miller was a little overwhelmed by Curry's performance this season, and now he also retorted.

"Don is the same. He is the player with the most points in the end of the season. He and Curry are players of the same level this season.

And you just said that the Pelicans' winning streak is related to the schedule, but their average net score is much higher than the Warriors."

Van Gundy is a bit of arguing with Miller.

Brin couldn't help laughing when he looked at the seriousness, just like what the two said, in addition to the victory or defeat, there was also the Tangku Ritian showdown, which was definitely very interesting.

Just as the commentator was talking, both sides completed their final preparations and the players appeared one after another.
Chapter completed!
