Chapter 133 Public opinion before the regular season

With 8 wins and 8 wins in the preseason, the Warriors' fiery state really surprised many experts. Therefore, in the ESPN new season outlook on October 10, the Warriors were discussed by many experts.

"Can the Golden State Warriors come back?"

On TV, NBA expert Bill Simmons looked forward to the Warriors' new season.

Now the Warriors have Li Zhi, the most shining new star in the league, and they have undergone a big change in summer. It seems that the running-in is not bad.

"The Warriors last season can be said to have failed. Of course, their only achievement was the trade of Li Zhi in the draft."

Bill Simmons' words once again healed Jordan's wounds. Up to now, Li Zhi and Durant are called 07 double stars, but they let go of a new star who is expected to change the league in the future.

On the TV, the highlights of the Warriors last season were played, and most of them were about Li Zhi.

"In my opinion, the Warriors' trade this year is very successful. Their goal is not in the present, but in the future." After a pause, Bill Simmons said with a smile: "I don't think anyone will have any objections to Li Zhi as the cornerstone of the team. Li Zhi's upper limit also determines the Warriors' upper limit."

"And, this summer, the Warriors traded for Shaquille O'Neal, and O'Neal's power is still there, and he will be a good teacher, allowing Li Zhi to know how to become a leader."

"Reconstruction, what is needed? It needs talent."

"The Warriors acquired Kyle Lowry and Milicic through trades, all of which are hoarding talents. Now it seems that the players acquired by the Warriors have performed well, especially Milicic. This kid should have learned something by O'Neal's side."

After Bill Simmons finished speaking, the highlights of Milicic's preseason games were released on TV.

In front of the TV, Milicic smiled rarely on his cold face, and snorted coldly in his heart: Huh, I will prove that I will be the real No. [-]!

"Most importantly, there are two starters sitting on their bench."

Bill Simmons awakened the dreamer. On the Warriors' bench are Jamal Crawford and Corey Maggette, two players with starting strength, as well as Nick Young, who performed well in the Wizards before.

"Last season, the Warriors' bench scoring was the lowest in the league. After having such a terrifying bench combination this season, I have already begun to wonder whether the Warriors will make the playoffs this season."

Bill Simmons ended his analysis of the Warriors with this sentence, obviously he is extremely optimistic about the Warriors.

At this time, Chris Mullin, who was sitting in the general manager's office of the Warriors, took a sip of coffee calmly, his face flushed. Compared with the start of last season, this feeling of being noticed is really good. This time his position should be consolidated.

However, the Warriors are getting everyone's attention, and some other teams are not so lucky.

For example, the Supersonic Speed ​​where Li Zhi's old rival Durant is located, no, it should be called the Thunder now.

After a brief legal battle, owner Bennett and the city struck a deal that would leave the team's original name and colors to Seattle so they could one day be used by a new team in the city, while bringing Oklahoma City a team of its own, named the Thunder.

The Thunder have officially cut the line with the Sonics, but their preseason has not been as smooth.

Although Durant scored high points in every game as usual in the new season, and his shooting percentage has improved significantly compared to last season, but the rookie Russell Westbrook, who was selected by them with the fourth overall pick this summer, does not seem to be mentally ready to enter the NBA.

Unreasonable shot selection, many fouls, and far more turnovers than assists made Durant, who had been looking forward to a summer helper, even more jealous of Li Zhi.

在22日和勇士的季前赛里，杜兰特14投7中砍下23分，但是他的小兄弟拉塞尔威斯布鲁克却12投2中，尴尬的命中率自然也有凯尔洛瑞的功劳。

"Small Steel Cannon" faced rookie rookie Russell Westbrook for the first time, and contributed 3 steals and 1 block, and Westbrook also gave "Small Steel Cannon" 3 turnovers.

This can't be blamed on the "Small Steel Cannon". After all, Lowry cherishes the hard-won opportunity when he is put on the starting lineup. The two years in the Grizzlies can be said to be reckless. Now that he is reused, he naturally works extremely hard.

This game also caused Westbrook and the "Small Steel Cannon" to form a bridge, so that in the next few years, after Westbrook evolved, every time he met Lowry, Lowry would be extremely embarrassed.

It is not only Li Zhi and his warriors who are optimistic, but also the powerful alliance and the new overlord.

After the Lakers were eliminated by the Celtics last season, Kobe said in the locker room: "The runner-up is the biggest loser."

this season.In order to fight against the old rival Celtics, they did not hesitate to trade Brian Cook and Maurice Evans from the Magic for Trevor Ariza.

This season is obviously going to be a comeback, and the preparations are more adequate than last year.

The defending champion Celtics waited for work and won all the preseason games, although for such a strong team, the preseason games are not of much reference value.But looking at their roster, you feel strong.

There is also the Magic that has finally awakened in the East. The Magic arrange long-range shooters around Howard on the periphery. This tactic is simple but very effective.

Of course, the outlook for the new season will never be without rookies.

Rose, the No. [-] pick selected by the Bulls this year, has already shown his charm. Flickering and fast are Rose's labels, and some people call Rose, Li Zhi, and Durant the people who will change the league in the future.

……

The Warriors' regular season opener was on October 2008, 10. As in previous years, the Warriors' opening game is the league's opening game.

On this day, there are three games in the opening game. The Cavaliers faced the Celtics led by the Big Three in the Eastern Conference. This is the continuation of last season's playoffs.

In his fifth thought in the NBA, the little emperor James has become more mature. Even though the Celtics and the Cavaliers have a huge gap in book strength, the game is extremely exciting.

James led a group of "old, weak, sick" and the Celtics to the last minute. The little emperor scored 1 points, 22 assists and 7 rebounds, all of which were the highest in the team.

But it was the Celtics with a more complete lineup that won this victory. Although Ray Allen was in poor form and only scored 9 points in 2 of 8, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce played as stable as ever, and there was a more mature Rajon Rondo.

And yet another game between the Lakers and the Blazers looked like a massacre.

Kobe and his purple and gold team taught Roy and his tearing team well. Paul Gasol faced Aldridge without mercy. While scoring 20 points and 15 rebounds, Aldridge scored 12 points on 4 of 8 shots.

The "Yellow Mamba" Brandon Roy, who was placed high hopes by the Blazers, suffered a serious decline in his state when facing his own "Black Mamba".

At this time last year, Greg Oden, who was still called the "Great King", played 12 minutes, 4 for 0, 0 points and 5 rebounds. It seems that the performance of the "Great King" was not as good as that of a blue-collar.

The Portlanders are not completely useless. For example, Fernandez, a rookie who is completely fearless against Kobe, scored 8 of 5 and scored 16 points efficiently.
