Dedmon's free throw hit the net.

His career free throw percentage was over 70%. Although he was a rough player, he was very consistent.

After this free throw, the score on the court became 20 to 4.

The scene was unbearable to watch.

Even though it was a preseason game, and the Bucks' Big Three's first game, it was also the Pelicans' Big Four's first game!

This was too brutal!

But it also reflected the biggest difference between the two teams: their chemistry.

The Pelicans' Big Four were like brothers. They had too many opportunities to play together, so they basically saved the time for gelling.

The way they were playing, you could tell from their expressions that they weren't really trying hard yet.

Dedmon being able to shoot three-pointers meant that Monroe was completely pulled out.

The Pelicans' Big Four broke through to the basket as if they were entering their own secret garden, going in and out seven times, with one climax after another.

At the end of the first half, the score was 66 to 36.

A 30-point difference in the first half!

In this first half, the Bucks were beaten to the point of doubting their lives.

But interestingly, the highest scorer for the Pelicans in the first half was Dedmon. He ate seven easy baskets in a row, scoring 16 points.

"I didn't expect to get the highest score of the game. I am very, very happy with my choice to come to the Pelicans."

Dedmon couldn't hide the smile on his face during the halftime interview.

Although it was just a preseason game, 16 points in the first half, and the passes were so comfortable, he experienced for the first time that playing in the NBA could be so easy!

Like the saying goes, you think rich people are happy? You can't even imagine the happiness of rich people!

You think playing alongside superstars is fun? You can't even imagine the happiness of playing alongside superstars!

In the second half, neither side used their main players, letting the second-string substitutes play as starters to finish the second half.

Bojan and Brogdon were heavily guarded by the Bucks, but Siakam performed well, bringing his excellent form from training camp into the game, scoring 12 points in the first half and 14 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block in the whole game, with an eye-catching performance.

And the team's other rookie, Kuzma, also had a bright performance. He made a three-pointer in each half, scoring 6 points.

When the trade was made, fans said that the Pelicans exchanged Ariza for a completely useless person who couldn't even shoot three-pointers.

But these two three-pointers also broke that doubt, proving the Pelicans' consistent eye for the draft.

Even if it's not a rookie they picked themselves, they can still make you change your mind with a rookie they traded for!

In the end, the Pelicans slaughtered the Bucks 112 to 71 at home, ushering in their first preseason victory.

Dedmon had a team-high 22 points, 12 rebounds, and 2 blocks, Brogdon had 16 points and 6 assists, Siakam had 14 points, Bojan had 11 points, and Lamb had 9 points.

For the Big Four, Tang Tian had 13 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists, Walker had 9 points and 3 assists, Davis had 7 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 blocks, and Butler had 7 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 steals.

This was a game that gave people little suspense after the opening, and although it was just a preseason game, the post-game discussion among fans was unstoppable.

"If the starters played the whole game, I think the Pelicans would score over 130 points, and the point difference would be close to 58 points!"

"I understand the logic, but why is it always 58 points? Manual dog head"

"Because the Pelicans have a precedent for slaughtering people by 58 points!"

"That makes sense, I believe it!"

"But this game really doesn't have any suspense. That Dedmon is really too good, a big, black, rough guy who can also shoot three-pointers!"

"Yes, before the game, I still had a glimmer of hope. After all, the Pelicans only have a four-star lineup, and the Bucks still have a chance to play good defense!"

"On this point, you are on the same level as Kidd!"

"Speaking of which, after this game, I am infinitely looking forward to the regular season. I want to see how the opponents feel when the Pelicans' starters play the whole game!"

…

Fans were talking about it on hotlines and social media, but Bucks coach Kidd was relatively calm in his post-match interview.

"This is only our first game, we are still working on our lineup and adapting to the tactics, I believe we will have a better performance in the next game."

The next game Kidd was referring to was when they returned to Milwaukee to play against the Pelicans again.

The preseason is different from the regular season. The arrangements are based on the needs of each team.

For this kind of game, it's often as simple as possible, so it's common for the two teams to play each other once at home and away.

The Pelicans and the Bucks were in this situation. After the Pelicans finished playing at home, the next game was at the Bucks' home.

This was why Kidd said that.

After being slaughtered by nearly 40 points on the road, they had to get something back when they returned to their home court.

Even though this wasn't the playoffs, or even the regular season, Kidd still had to save face!

There was a 3-day interval in the middle of the preseason. After resting in New Orleans for a day, the Pelicans arrived in Milwaukee.

Yi Jianlian had played for the Bucks for two seasons, and the Chinese market here was still quite large.

The arena was packed that night, and the Pelicans' game was sought after.

Many Chinese people came to the scene, holding up signs supporting Tang Tian, just like the fans said on social media.

If you don't want to be upset, become a Pelicans fan!

Both teams still played with their full strength in this game.

The Bucks were determined to get something back, while the Pelicans were continuing to integrate their lineup.

At the beginning of the game, Antetokounmpo held the ball and flew to the basket with great momentum.

But Dedmon was in front and Davis reached out behind, another block at the start!

Antetokounmpo only scored 7 points in the last game. As the "successor to James" and the "next face of the league", he obviously still had a long way to go.

The Pelicans gave him another lesson at the beginning of this game.

And it wasn't just Antetokounmpo who was being taught a lesson.

The Bucks wanted to get something back at home, but the fact proved that the gap in strength between the two sides had nothing to do with who was at home.

The Pelicans still rubbed the Bucks crazily on the floor like in the last game.

After the first quarter, the score was 40 to 15, which was even more exaggerated than the last game!

After all, the last game was also the Pelicans' debut, and they had improved on both offense and defense in this game.

After a quarter of the game, the originally lively Bradley Center arena was quite quiet, with only Chinese fans cheering for the Pelicans' performance.

This was really a big "misery" written on their heads.

At the end of the first half, the score was 70 to 35, which was exactly twice the score!

In the second half, the Pelicans used their substitutes like in the first game, but Kidd sent in the starters for the Bucks, wanting to win the game.

But the point difference was too big, and the Pelicans' Brogdon, Siakam, and Bojan's substitute Big Three continued to perform well.

In the end, despite the Bucks letting their starters play in the second half, the Pelicans still defeated the Bucks 110 to 90, winning their second consecutive preseason game!

After the game, fans were still complaining on social media.

But at this moment, the Bucks announced a piece of news after the game that they had reached an agreement with the team's head coach Jason Kidd to terminate the contract.

Kidd was fired!
