The news of Fegan's death spread quickly the next day, and ushered in a turbulence in the alliance.
As a well-known NBA agent, he has or has brought many players.
In addition to Tang Tian, ​​Howard, Parsons, Cousins, Nurkic are all his current players.
Arenas, Yi Jianlian, and Rubio also approached him.
After his death, many players, including the team and even the NBA official, tweeted.
Tang Tian: We have been working together for 7 years. I can't believe you left like this, but rest assured, I will do my best to help your family, rest in peace Dan R.i.p.
Parsons: It's all too unfair, but I know you must have gone to a better place, and one day we will taste wine together.

Billy King: What a bad news, Dan Fegan and I are very good friends. I still remember him when he told me he was going to be a father. He was really a good father.
NBA official: The NBA family has lost an outstanding agent, and pray that Fagan's family will be able to survive this difficult situation.
...
Tang Tian tweeted late at night, and the next morning he returned to New Orleans, and Gail Benson also called to comfort him.
For the Pelicans, this is their glorious and peak season, but for Tang Tian, ​​his recent encounter has been a bit bad.
First the death of the team owner, and then the 7-year-old agent.
Benson is concerned and worried that these will affect Tang Tian's game status.
This kind of worry is not only Benson, but also the media and fans.
That night, the Pelicans and Trail Blazers opened their first series at the New Orleans Arena.
The scene was full, and TV ratings remained high.
Long Aotian-style cool text, bringing the protagonist is very cool.
You know that the Pelicans are now the team with the most fans.
In the locker room before the game, the head coaches of both teams are preparing for the game.
"Kemba, AD. After the opening, you play more pick-and-rolls. Let's play 2/3."
Stevens gave Tang Tian a special look when he said this.
He wanted Tang Tian to adjust his mood.
Tang Tian just nodded and said nothing.
Fegan's death made him really not very emotional, but it did not affect his condition.
Stevens had no problem considering him, and he could just take the opportunity to test the Trail Blazers first.
Half an hour before the start of the game, players from both sides came in to warm up.
When warming up, the scene was constantly giving Tang Tian the camera.
Tang Tian's mood is a lot worse than usual, but it seems quite calm.
The fans were a little relieved to see this.
Warming up to the later stage, some fans noticed that Lillard arrived at the Pelicans half to chat with Tang Tian.
Judging by the behavior of the two, Lillard should come to comfort Tang Tian.
Despite being an opponent, Lillard deserves respect.
At the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were also released.
The Pelicans are still playing full side, and their four brothers Gademond are training hard.
On the Blazers' side, Lillard and CJ Mclum are both outside, and Aminu and Anthony are on the front. Nurkic, center.
Davis jumped to win over Nurkic, giving the Pelicans an opportunity to start and also opened the curtain for the semifinals of the two sides.
After Walker held the ball to the frontcourt, he looked at the Blazers' defense.
After the Trail Blazers traded on the trade deadline, the lineup has changed a lot.
But a long time after the deal was completed, their lineup is still changing.
After a long running-in period, Stouts only found the lineup that is best for them.
At one time, they had turned Turner and Anthony into a front line, so as to maximize Turner's organizational ability.
But the result is very unsatisfactory. The main problem with this unsatisfactory is the defensive end.
Turner is a forward with a thin body and cannot stand the general number three position.
After Anthony's knee injury, his moving speed dropped obviously, and he could not prevent the third position, even the flexible size or the strong fourth position.
The Blazers struggled during that time, even experiencing a five-game losing streak after losing the Pelicans.
It wasn't until Stokes brought Arminu into the starting line and let Nurkic organize his offense like his old rival Jokic.
Aminu's talent is relatively mediocre. He belongs to the strong and weak players, but he has a characteristic that is dark and rough.
Can guard against the third and fourth positions.
And he has a good open three-pointer. When he played off the bench, he shot only 30% of his three-pointers, but after the start he soared to 39%.
There are three musketeers pinned down, his chances are better and better.
And Nurkic's organizational ability has also been liberated. Before and after the team adjusted the starting, his average assists per game increased from 1.9 to 3.9.
Now the Blazers' defense is that Anthony defends Butler from the inside, the main defense against Butler's air cut, and Aminu tops Davis in the low post.
After Walker took a look, he called Butler to mention a high pick-and-roll.
His ability to read the game is very strong, no matter how Stouts line up, Anthony is a breakthrough for the Pelicans offense.
But Stoz's tactical level is really good, Butler blocked, but the Blazers do not change.
One pick and roll failed Butler blocked the second, but the Trail Blazers still do not change.
Walker grabbed a neutral three-pointer after retreating.
His three-point grasp is not very high, and the ball finally smashed out of the box.
Nurkic protected a defensive rebound.
Lillard advanced to the front court and gave the ball to Nurkic, who organized the free throw line.
Lillard, McClum and Anthony pick and place each other. After Anthony picks and rolls out, the Pelicans defend.
Just then, Lillard took advantage of Aminu's position to get a chance.
Nurkic's pass was delivered quickly, but the Pelicans also changed the defense quickly, and Davis had already saved it.
Lillard stunned a three-pointer and passed Davis's jumper to the free-throw line.
"Oh!"
Basketball hollowed into the net, and his form was as hot as in the first round.
And the Rockets' first round series, he can contribute 29.6 points per game!
Walker attacked again, this time looking for Davis to pick and roll, and then returned to Davis.
Davis turned and ran over Lillard, but Aminu's defense came in time and interfered with his shot.
"Dang!"
Davis' shot came out of the box, and the Pelicans opened with two offensive attempts.
Aminu defends defensive rebounds.
The Trail Blazers counterattacked, Lillard attacked the frontcourt with Walker's defense, and did not wait for others. After a cross step, he immediately stopped and chased for three points.
This choice was sudden and unreasonable.
"boom!"
The ball bounced into the net bag after hitting the backboard!
5 to 0!
Lillard opened a wave of personal attacks.
After he scored the goal, he reached for his right index finger to his left wrist.
This is his signature action, and it reminds everyone that he is wearing a watch tonight!
Lillard time!
There was a restless scene.
Leaving aside strength, Lillard is actually in first gear with Kobe and Tang Tian.
Butler took a pass and walked the layup to score a walker, finally opening the record for the Pelicans.
But looking back, Lillard held the ball offensively to attract the defense, and gave the ball to Anthony, who also scored in the middle distance.
Not only is Lillard showing his excellent form, he has also led the Trail Blazers.
Finished in the first quarter ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The score on the field was 36 to 31. The Trail Blazers led the Pelicans by 5 points to end the first quarter!
Lillard slashed 15 points and 2 assists in a single section!
No one expected this score.
Fans also felt a lot on social media.
"Lillard time! It's no luck that the Blazers can knock out the Rockets!"
"I like this superstar. I ’m not BB and I am not clever. If you have the ability, you can kill me. If you don't die, I'll kill you!"
"Lillard is really hard, and this year is also really sucking powder! This is the rhythm to get to the end!"
"If this breaks the undefeated golden body of the Pelicans in the playoffs, Lillard will definitely seal the gods. This is 80 wins over the Pelicans!"
"So why didn't Tang play the first quarter tonight? Is it because of Fegan's death?"
