Legend Raiders

Chapter 1462 Warriors Defense
The first day of the opening game.

The teams with the highest attention are naturally the Cavaliers and Warriors.

They are almost all championship-level teams, and the Warriors' lineup has changed a lot.

And when the Cavaliers beat the Knicks by a big score, the Blazers definitely won at home, and naturally there was only one Warriors left.

The opponent the league chose for them is very interesting. It turned out to be the Spurs, who were not particularly happy last season!
have to say.

This is definitely a strong conversation.

From another perspective, this is also a conversation between Aldridge and Al Horford.

One of them joined the Spurs last season and played a lot of very beautiful games.

The other was last season's runner-up, and in the summer, he even got the coveted player of small ball tactics, Al Horford.

Now the confrontation between this pair of inside players, not to mention the strength of the two teams, they are enough to attract a lot of attention.

So when the game started, almost everyone was waiting for the collision between them.

However, what people didn't expect was that these two seemed to have agreed, there were very few chances to match up, and both of them behaved very calmly.

If their calmness is surprising, then the calmness of the other cores makes people wonder.

What is rhythm?
Could it be that they were having fun all summer?

Section one.

Paul Gasol, who just arrived at the Spurs in the summer, actually played a pick-and-roll tactic with Jonathan Simmons when he didn't feel anything.

Others can't give much help, and this is the only way to break the deadlock.

Don't say it.

Jonathan Simmons was really good. He made three of three shots in the first quarter, plus one of two free throws, and scored seven points.

Aldridge finally woke up and scored six points on three of five shots.

warriors.

When Curry and Thompson feel bad, the person who breaks the deadlock is the highly mobile Drummond Green.

He scored as many as [-] points in the whole quarter, with a very high shooting percentage, and even suppressed Aldridge.

But he is the only highlight of the Warriors.

The Spurs are a bit smaller and more blooming. They didn't score many points, but they added up to 31 points.

in this way.

After the first quarter, the Spurs took an impressive 31-point advantage with a score of 20:[-].

Sometimes I think that even though the main players of the Spurs don't seem to be in good shape, after the game is over, they suddenly find that they just seem to be silent.

Section two.

The Spurs' state gradually improved. Although Curry and Thompson felt back, the final result was still unsatisfactory.

26: 33.

After halftime, the Warriors lost to the Spurs by [-] points in their own field!
The fans at the scene saw such a half-time game, and their emotions were really a bit complicated.

Originally thought that the team got Al Horford, which would bring huge benefits to the team.

But after half the game, Horford, who they had high hopes for, only had four points and three rebounds.

honestly.

Horford's answer sheet is really hard for them to accept.

Anyway, he is an All-Star player, but he played like this at halftime. The gap is really big.

But this is only the first game of the regular season, and they can suppress their depression and wait for Horford to wake up.

Into the second half.

The Warriors played so fiercely at the beginning that they quickly recovered the point difference to six points.

But the Spurs, who were already in full swing, suddenly responded with a strong response under the leadership of Leonard and Pau Gasol.

After the third quarter, even though the Warriors have worked very hard, they still haven't played.

They scored 31 points in a single quarter, but the Spurs still scored 33 points.

At this moment, some fans in the stands shouted Andrew Bogut's name because they were too depressed.

have to say.

This scene made the fans miss the Mr. Big Mouth from Australia.

If Bogut is there, even if the inside offense is not very promising, his defense is really strong.

Now that the Spurs are playing like this, apart from the overall defensive problem, they are actually not strong inside.

To know.

With a star player like Leonard, his abilities are very comprehensive, but the strongest method is still a breakthrough.

Although he is very strong in the middle and long distances, when the hand feeling is not good, the fastest way to regain the feeling is still the breakthrough.

In addition to Leonard, Simmons, who had been playing well before, even slammed into the inside of the Warriors.

With the addition of Aldridge and Pau Gasol, Horford, who has not been able to play well, and Draymond Green, who is a god and a ghost, really can't stand it.

have to say.

The Warriors' problem, after all, is defense.

Next, it depends on whether Al Horford can quickly complete the run-in with the Warriors.

The last section is almost useless.

With the Warriors falling behind by a big score, it's okay to switch to other teams. If you want to comeback in front of the Spurs, forget it.

The score of the two teams was finally fixed at 129:100. The Spurs used a nearly [-]-point difference to give the Warriors a disastrous away game.

after the game.

The reporters on the scene fired directly, constantly questioning some details of the Warriors' previous joint training.

honestly.

They give people the feeling that no one will be comfortable. This group of people seems to be teaching their own children and grandchildren, wishing to point their noses and scold them.

But this is the style of reporters in the United States. At least the media in other countries will express it more implicitly.

As for the unsatisfactory Spurs last season, this season has also become the focus of reporters.

to be honest.

They're just making a fuss about whether they're ready to get back into title contention.

pity.

What they encountered was the toughest coach in the league, and Popovich turned a corner and started swearing.

have to say.

Popovich's mouth is really sharp, and it can often touch the reporters' seven inches, making them speechless.

in this way.

This media meeting almost became the topic tour of the Warriors.

After these few seasons of coaching, Steve Kerr has also become a lot more honest. He didn't want to go to the media, but answered some questions in a very formulaic way, and completely ignored them.

As for the players of the two teams, they have almost nothing to say, because too many words will lead to mistakes, and this season has just started.

When both of them left the arena one after another, everyone had to sigh, this is the real NBA.

They managed to keep their ears clean for a few months, but they didn't expect to encounter such a terrible thing in the first scene.

And with the opening game of the first day finished, the regular season of the 16-17 season can be regarded as officially kicked off.

On October 26, which is tomorrow, there will be ten games.

The defending champion Celtics will play in Game [-].
