Nass is Benson's partner and the second largest shareholder of the Pelicans.

Benson doesn't like Tang Tian as he originally likes. Nass basically means the Pelicans.

Tang Tian nodded when he heard this.

Since he has chosen to attack Xiao Hua, it is a good thing that someone supports him.

And after all, if one is the president of an alliance, the first person in the alliance, who can win in the end depends on the number of supporters.

Nas said that, contacted several team representatives with good relationships in private, and decided to raise the referee's penalty at the next regular meeting.

As Tang Tian said, if you keep avoiding this issue for immediate benefits, then the alliance will be lost in the end, and it will be irreversible.

There is still some time for the next regular meeting, and this period is also the time for Nas to strive for more representative support.

If you cannot get enough support, even if he proposes it, there will be no specific results.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye and the Pelicans ended their November game.

Their record is 19 wins and 0 losses.

Although the Tang Tian storm made them look a little turbulent, they continued to win streak.

On December 2, they set off for San Antonio, where they will face the Spurs' first season.

Although Duncan's retirement has caused the Spurs' strength to decline a lot.

But this season they still continue the myth of eternity. Under the dual cores of Leonard and Aldridge, the team's record surpassed the Rockets and ranked fourth in the West.

This is also the Pelicans' first challenge in December.

This game has attracted much attention, not only because the two teams are strong, but because Duncan's jersey retirement ceremony will be held in the midfield of this game.

Duncan is simple in his playing style. In terms of fame and Kobe, James cannot be compared with that of him, but he is undoubtedly the greatest power forward in NBA history.

His jersey retirement ceremony is naturally the focus of fans and media attention.

According to the news released before the game, Duncan will choose to retire today, which is also related to the Pelicans.

After all, the teammates he cared about most, Parker, Ginobili and Dior were still on the Spurs, and the only one who ran away was Tang Tian of the Pelicans.

The next day, the game between the two teams opened at the Att Arena in San Antonio.

The scene was full, and Duncan's big-headed KT boards could be seen everywhere in the stadium.

This is probably the last time a fan lifts it in the stadium.

Before the game, Tang Tian also met Duncan in the front row of the audience.

I haven't seen each other for a while, Duncan's beard and hair have turned a lot white.

It seems that the work of car repair is much harder than playing basketball.

The two met and smiled at each other, then had a big hug, and touched each other's heads while hugging.

This is the best way to say hello and reminisce.

The match between the two sides began soon, and the Pelicans showed their strength after the opening, and gradually expanded their lead.

At the end of the half, they led the Spurs by 12 points 55-43.

The game entered the intermission, but the players of both teams did not return to the locker room because Duncan's jersey retirement ceremony was about to be held.

The staff at the scene have already set up the stage. Like Yao Ming’s jersey retirement ceremony, many celebrities and Duncan’s players were present.

On one side is league president Xiao Hua, team owner Holt, team general manager Buford and Duncan's high school coach Dave Odom.

The other side are Popovich, Parker, Ginobili and Tang Tian.

Both sides are the most important people in Duncan's career, but the atmosphere on both sides is a bit complicated at this time.

And the person who made the atmosphere complicated was Tang Tian.

Buford was the scapegoat for Tang Tian to leave the Spurs, and he was almost depressed because of Tang Tian’s affairs;

Needless to say, Holt's heart disease is because of Tang Tian;

Of course, the most important thing is Xiao Hua, and Tang Tian just confronted the president of the alliance not long ago.

At this time, the two of them sat face to face, and the scene looked inexplicably funny.

Spurs commentator Elliott served as the live host. His words "It's our happiness to have Duncan" ignited the Att Arena.

Duncan's contribution to San Antonio is unparalleled, and he is already one of the symbols of the city.

Tang Tian felt the enthusiasm of the fans and felt a lot of emotion.

This is the charm of one person and one city. If the Spurs hadn’t given up, he would have become San Antonio’s next totem.

But because of some people and some things, he can only belong to New Orleans now.

After Elliott, Shawha, Holt, Buford and Dave Odom made brief speeches one after another.

Xiao Hua talks about Duncan's contribution to the league, Holt and Buford talks about Duncan's contribution to the team, and Odom reviews some of the past events of Duncan's High School.

These speeches were all just right, but when Popovich came, the atmosphere became lively.

The order here is just the opposite. The first person to make a speech was Tang Tian.

"I have to thank Tim."

Tang Tian started to speak, which caused a burst of cheers at the scene.

Tang Tianren has left the Spurs, but the first sentence he said at the Duncan jersey retirement ceremony was still his gratitude to Duncan.

"Thanks for showing mercy to my men, otherwise my hairstyle would have been the same as Manu."

However, Tang Tian's subsequent words made the audience burst into laughter.

Only the Spurs players knew about Duncan touching Tang Tian. After saying this, the fans realized that Ginobili was not the only one who was hit by Duncan!

Duncan was also amused, and he recalled some interesting things with Tang Tian in his mind.

At this time, Davis couldn't help but touch his Moshigan. He suddenly realized that Tang Tian liked to touch his head because he was probably influenced by Duncan.

"I have to thank Tim, too, for teaching me a lot, even though he really rarely speaks."

Tang Tian's humor continued to ignite the Att Arena. San Antonio fans discovered that Tang Tiancai was the person who looked the most like GDP.

If the Spurs had kept him...

"Happy retirement, Tim."

Tang Tian finally said to Duncan with a smile.

This sentence makes the atmosphere on the scene reach a certain level.

Duncan is the No. 1 power forward in history, and now the No. 1 player in the league was once his younger brother. This is the most proud thing for Spurs fans.

After Tang Tian, ​​Ginobili and Parker made their speeches one after another.

They are also full of witty words.

"If the team doesn't play well, Tim will come forward and take responsibility. He will come to the stadium very early the next day. Thank you Tim, you have always been my role model, and I am willing to follow in your footsteps, besides the dress style."

"As Parker said, we had a lot of pressure in the first few years of our NBA career, we needed to embrace and support, Duncan was the one who gave us these, and that's why I became bald, Don, not just because of head touching."

Ginobili also interacted with Tang Tian, ​​and the laughter at the scene lasted for a long time.

This is probably the most joyful retirement ceremony for the star jersey.
