Legend Raiders

Chapter 1460 Preseason

October [-]nd.

After months of absence, the NBA finally ushered in the preseason.

There will only be two games today, the Raptors and Warriors, and the Pelicans and Mavericks.

Among these four teams, the biggest attraction is the Warriors.

Although they lost to the Celtics again last season, after the start of the free agent market this summer, they made a blockbuster signing!
They got the former core of the Hawks, Al Horford.

The joining of Horford is bound to make the Warriors even more powerful!

It can be said that he fits the small ball tactics very well, and his position in the Warriors lineup will become very important!

And with the inside line controlled by him and Draymond Green, it can be slow or fast, and it will even become very aggressive!
Horford can fully assume the defensive role, and Green's mobility and destructive power can also be displayed very well.

Coupled with Curry, Thompson, and Iguodala and others, the Warriors will be very competitive this year!
After all, the number of All-Stars in the team has reached an astonishing number!

As long as they can run in perfectly, then this year's championship will most likely be theirs!

of course.

Now it's just talk on paper, and it's the best result for the Warriors.

If they themselves can't complete a good run-in, the Celtics themselves are still strong, and there must be a lot of suspense about the final champion.

And their opponents, the Raptors, didn't do much this summer.

As for the Pelicans and Mavericks, the former's actions this year are really not small.

First of all.

In the draft this year, the Pelicans won Buddy Hield, who is regarded as one of the best guards.

Second.

The team's generals Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson both ended their contracts and joined the Rockets at a good price!

have to say.

For the Pelicans, this is definitely a change that shakes the foundation.

But as long as Anthony Davis is still there, the Pelicans will not be particularly hurt.

The Mavericks have changed a lot this year.

First of all, because the team is in trouble, Chandler Parsons' contract has finally expired and left. It is true that they are relieved.

If you continue to support this guy, the Mavericks will be unhappy from top to bottom!

However, Parsons and his agent are really top-notch. They have already reached the end of their talents, and under the constant injuries, they can still get the Grizzlies' four-year 9000 million in the summer. I really sigh "people x money" ".

Coupled with Bogut, who was almost for nothing from the Warriors, and Harrison Barnes, who spent a lot of money to steal from the Warriors, their goals this year are still not small!

only.

They might not have imagined that Bogut would come to them later.

Before the start of the new season this year, the league has also lost some veteran superstars.

Kobe, Garnett and Duncan decided not to fight one after another.

Their departure must be a big loss for the NBA.

But when the age is reached, the competitive state has also experienced a huge decline, and even because of injuries, it is almost meaningless to continue playing.

Besides, all three of them have champions in their hands, and they have earned a lot of money in their careers, so naturally they won't have any regrets.

in this way.

With the start of these two games, even the preseason games used for training have attracted a lot of attention.

But as these two games proceeded successively, the Warriors and Raptors were a little upset.

With the Raptors' lineup, they are actually similar to last season, and the biggest move this year may be a multi-billion contract extension for DeRozan.

The Warriors are different.

Although this is just training, but their lineup is really gorgeous!

In the end, the Raptors won and became the winner of the game with a score of 97:93.

In this game, Al Horford fully demonstrated his characteristics.

In the Warriors' tactics, it seems that he has always had his place.

Especially during the time period when he was on the court, the Warriors' tactics were as smooth as silk, very, very seductive.

Even after he was taken down, in the next two or three minutes, the Warriors still had his influence.

But just training and training, Al Horford didn't go all out to fight.

Second game.

The Pelicans seemed to prove something. They played very aggressively at one point, not like a preseason game at all.

The Mavericks are much more stable.

Veteran Dirk Nowitzki is mean, and others are not particularly serious.

So the final result can be imagined, the Pelicans won with a score of 116:102.

in this way.

As the opening game of the preseason started, the number of teams participating in the next two days gradually increased.

After up to seven games on October [-]th, the Celtics will also make their debut on October [-]th.

Their opponents are relatively weak, the 76ers who have been at the bottom of the league for several years.

But this year's 76ers are obviously different from before.

Not only did they get the No. [-] pick this year, Ben Simmons, but Joel Embiid, who has high hopes, will also officially pay!
Coupled with other votes of young players, they don't talk about their previous records, at least this lineup will give people the impression that it will be full of impact!
And this game that started in Boston turned out to be a bit eye-catching.

The Celtics barely played a few minutes in their first game, and the time has completely become a super big rotation.

Except for Qin Tao and Durant, almost everyone else went all over.

among them.

Jaylen Brown's performance is eye-catching. His breakthrough is very threatening, and with the addition of physical fitness, he can often contribute wonderful dunks.

Then there's Zubac.

In the previous joint training, he had almost no sense of presence, giving people a feeling that he was willing to be a green leaf.

But with the arrival of this official game, he seized the opportunity at once. In just 10 minutes, he not only contributed six points, but also got five rebounds.

On the defensive end, when facing Joel Embiid, he didn't have any weakness. On the contrary, he defended the rising star who had just paid for it very uncomfortable.

The good performance of these two rookies contrasts with Dario Salic's unsatisfactory performance.

In the [-] minutes he played, the shooting ability he is very good at was not displayed at all.

If it wasn't for six rebounds, it would really be disappointing.

But disappointment is disappointment, and this is just the beginning.

In this full training game, Gerald Green made people see his very passionate side.

The money dunk king has fully demonstrated his chaotic combat ability.

Even though his style was difficult to support and drive the overall situation, his star-like style of play and sudden touch allowed him to score 23 points in the game!
Then came Jokic.

He's really, really stable.

With him on the court, even though Isaiah Thomas was obsessed with fighting alone, the Celtics' tactics were still barely smooth under his support organization.

And it is already a very rare thing for a big man to be able to play at such a level.

However, their performances one by one, in the face of the energetic offense and defense of the 76ers, they still failed to withstand in the end.

Lost this preseason game 102:109.
