Let's find out the origin of the pelican's name.
In April 2012, Tom Benson completed the acquisition of the New Orleans Hornets, a news that caused a stir in the basketball world.
Many netizens have expressed their opinions on this matter.
Some believe that Benson's acquisition will bring new development opportunities to the team and breathe new life into New Orleans' basketball culture.
One fan excitedly said, "I hope the new owner can lead the Hornets to a better future and make the team stand out again in the NBA!", while another fan said: "Looking forward to seeing the Hornets achieve a bigger breakthrough under the leadership of the new owner and bring more surprises to the fans!" It can be seen that fans have high expectations for Benson's acquisition.
Subsequently, in 2013, the New Orleans Hornets changed their name to the New Orleans Pelicans.
The news came as a pleasant surprise to fans and sparked some heated discussions.
Some fans believe that the name "Pelicans" is more in line with the city of New Orleans and can establish a better image for the team.
One fan excitedly said, "The name 'Pelicans' sounds very imposing, and I believe the team will go to the next level in the future!" while another fan said: "The name 'Pelicans' has a special meaning for the city of New Orleans, and I hope the team can achieve better results under the new name!"
It can be seen that fans have a positive attitude towards the team's name change to "Pelicans".
Owner Tom Benson also explained the team's name change to Pelicans, saying it was to allow the team to better connect with the city of New Orleans.
Since New Orleans has no connection to the name "Hornets," changing the name to "Pelicans" will help strengthen the team's cohesion with the city.
As a symbol of Louisiana, the pelican appears not only on the state flag, but also on the state emblem, with a deep cultural background.
This explanation has been recognized and supported by many fans.
One fan said, "The name 'Pelican' is indeed more in line with the characteristics of New Orleans, and I believe that the team will be more popular in the future!" while another fan said: "As a symbol of Louisiana, the name 'Pelican' will bring more good luck to the team!"
It can be seen that fans can understand and accept the reason why the team changed its name to "Pelicans".
This game showed the strength of the Thunder as the number one in the West.
The Pelicans, on the other hand, will need to readjust their tactics and defensive strategy in order to turn the tide in the next games.
At the moment, they face a difficult challenge, and only by working together as a team can they hope to turn defeat into victory.
