However, he also realized that the little lion was in heat and would eat anything when hungry.

He videoed with Olsen for a while, and after the two discussed it, they decided to have it neutered.

They couldn't really find it a lioness to vent its urges, and an unneutered male lion would become uncontrollable as it grew older and its wild nature emerged.

Although becoming a eunuch wasn't a good thing, look at the American Shorthair, it already was.

Wouldn't that be great, they could be sisters!

The next day there was no game, and he took a leave from the team, taking the little lion to the local pet hospital.

After the lion was anesthetized, it became a weakling and was carried into the operating room.

Tang Tian waited outside.

As he was reading a magazine, he looked up and suddenly noticed a familiar face in the pet store.

Emma Watson.

A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Why did Watson come to New Orleans, and to a pet store?

During the offseason in New York, Watson had been very helpful with his yoga, and Tang Tian had a good impression of her.

He took the initiative to get up and say hello.

Watson was also surprised to see Tang Tian.

The two sat down and chatted for a few words.

He learned that Watson had come to Chinatown after hearing about it.

It seemed that as Chinatown continued to improve, its influence was growing.

Watson was in the Hollywood star echelon, already considered an upper-class person.

The two had quite a few things in common, from yoga to Chinatown to pets.

During the conversation, Tang Tian learned that Watson also had a British Shorthair cat in England; it turned out she was also a cat person.

As they were chatting, the pet store doctor came out; the little lion had completed the palace entry ceremony and could be taken away once it woke up.

This was also the convenience of male pets compared to female pets; females needed to be put on a drip for several days to prevent infection.

Watson went in with Tang Tian and was startled when she saw it was a lion.

Clearly, she hadn't prepared for it at all; everyone else was a cat person, but she didn't expect him to be a big cat person!

Seeing her reaction, Tang Tian smiled and told her about his trip to Africa.

After learning the details, Watson's gaze towards Tang Tian seemed to change slightly.

Adopting a lion was something that ordinary people couldn't do.

The lion woke up after a while, a little dazed, but seemed to be in good spirits.

Confirming that there were no major problems, Tang Tian said goodbye to Watson and took the little lion back to the villa first.

During his lunch break, Tang Tian felt warmth next to him, and looked down to find the little lion sleeping next to him.

This was rare before.

It seemed that after becoming a eunuch, it became more gentle and more dependent on humans.

But this was a permanent solution, if it was still as noisy as before, he would really consider building a cage for it.

In the afternoon, he left the little lion to the nanny to take care of, and then went back to the team for training.

The Pelicans' next game was against the Thunder.

Durant was out due to injury, and the Thunder's performance this season was the opposite of the Pelicans'; they lost to the Clippers and Nets in a row to start the season with two consecutive losses.

The only bright spot was that Westbrook averaged 35 points in these two games, an explosive scoring performance.

If the Pelicans wanted to extend their winning streak, limiting Westbrook's scoring would be key.

This game was still at the Pelicans' home court.

That night, the New Orleans Arena was still packed.

But two different viewers came to the scene, and they were all captured by the on-site photographers.

One was Emma Watson, and the other was Scarlett Johansson.

Watson came to New Orleans because of Chinatown and took the opportunity to watch a game; she also had a female friend with her.

As for Scarlett, no one knew the reason.

Durant was a little handsome in a suit, sitting on the bench, and his emotions were a little complicated when he looked up and saw Scarlett's figure on the LED screen.

This was the first time he had seen Scarlett in a basketball stadium, but he couldn't play in this game due to injury.

This feeling was like getting circumcised and then having the goddess invite you to her house for the night.

And he also saw Tang Tian and Westbrook greeting each other at center court.

The feeling of gradually losing women and brothers, he also remembered the experience of being snatched the scoring title by Tang Tian last season.

Just wait, when he comes back, he will take everything back!

Before the game, both sides completed their warm-up, and then entered the opening ceremony.

The starting players from both sides took the stage one after another.

The Thunder's perimeter players were Westbrook and Andre Roberson, and the interior players were Adams and Ibaka.

Durant was out due to injury, and Perry Jones started in his place.

Jones had performed well in the first two games, averaging 15+ points, and was now the Thunder's second-leading scorer after Westbrook.

After Durant was injured, this former All-American No. 1 high school student, a top pick favorite, finally seized the opportunity to show what he could do.

The Pelicans had their regular lineup. When Tang Tian was introduced last, the cheers from the crowd were deafening.

Watson was still sitting there like a lady, but Scarlett was already excitedly shouting with the fans around her.

The on-site photographer was very mischievous, capturing this scene and projecting it onto the LED screen, drawing whistles from the fans.

Scarlett was very open, and covered her chest and laughed when she saw herself on the LED screen.

Durant looked at the position of Scarlett's hand on the big screen, feeling a little depressed.

Such a good person, but unfortunately, she wasn't laughing for him.

"Beep!"

A long whistle came from the sidelines, and the on-site photographer also switched the camera back to the court.

The starting players from both sides took the stage one after another, and the game between the two teams was about to begin.

Ibaka outjumped Davis, giving the Thunder the opportunity to attack first.

Westbrook dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Adams came up to the high post for a pick-and-roll.

Westbrook accelerated in one step, using Adams' pick-and-roll to directly pull up for a jump shot.

His pull-up was stiff and straight up and down, completely the opposite of Tang Tian's aesthetically pleasing pull-up.

Whiteside tried his best to interfere.

"Clang!"

Westbrook dodged the block in the air and raised the arc of his shot, but it bounced off the rim.

But at this moment, Adams overpowered Holiday to grab the offensive rebound, turned around and gave it to Westbrook again.

Westbrook's zombie pull-up shot again.

"Clang!"

Still no luck.

Still Adams, holding off Whiteside who had rushed back, grabbed another offensive rebound before Davis could reach it, and passed to Westbrook again!

At this time, Adams hadn't grown a beard yet, his face was still youthful, but he had already shown the potential of a future offensive rebound monster, a rebounding master, and an Aquaman.

Westbrook's third pull-up shot, this time the shot position was only 12 feet away from the basket.

"Swish!"

The basketball went into the net, and his shot finally hit.

The Thunder took the lead.
