Because the Warriors are also in Oakland, California, the distance between the two teams is not far. So even though it is an away game, the Lakers do not need to fly a day in advance. They only need to take a bus to Oracle Arena for the game that day.
The Warriors have always been a team with a sharp edge. If they play well, they can go on a rampage throughout the court, killing Gods when blocking, and killing Buddhas when blocking. If they play badly, they can keep hammering throughout the court, smashing the rim until it is deformed.
This team, from leader Baron Davis on down, has the air of an outlaw who is willing to cut himself off and dare to pull down the emperor. Their strength may not be very strong, but if you are careless, the Golden State Warriors
I definitely wouldn't mind cutting you twice.
Especially this season, Nelson, who has been resting for several years, is working hard again. The arrival of the ‘mad scientist’ does not know what he can bring to this team.
"Today our starting lineup is center: Bynum, power forward: Kwame Brown, small forward: Lamar Odom, shooting guard: Vujacic, point guard: Smash Parker." announced before the game.
When he was on the roster, Adrian still didn't get a chance to start. Although Parker performed poorly in front of Nash in the first game of the regular season, Rambis still chose to believe in Parker, who performed well last season and was more experienced.
When Rambis announced the roster, Smash Parker had a smile on his face, but Jordan Farmar showed a look of loss. Since the Lakers left the veteran Fisher, the point guard position
It has always been a weakness. When Farmar came to the Lakers this season, he thought he could be reused, but now it seems that the situation is not as optimistic as he thought.
Adrian doesn't care much. From his observation, Farmar has good potential, but even if he develops well, at most he can only become the best sixth man of a team. He will not
He has the ability to be a starter, but his mediocre physical fitness limits his development.
As for Parker, he has little potential. Even if he can still sit as the Lakers' main point guard based on the good impression he left last season, as time goes by, Adrian is confident that he will be pushed out of the starting lineup.
s position.
Moreover, in today's game, as the starting point guard, there is no doubt that the person Parker will face is the core of the Warriors, their point guard Baron Davis.
"Parker, the core of the Warriors is their point guard Baron Davis. Therefore, your performance is very important. Whether you can limit Davis' performance is directly related to the victory of this game." Before the game,
Rambis said to Parker with a solemn expression.
"O'Neal at the point guard position"!
If you don't understand how strong Baron Davis is, then this title can give you a rough understanding.
From Adrian's point of view, Baron Davis will not be the best point guard in the NBA. But he is definitely one of the most difficult to deal with at the point guard position. The 27-year-old Bayern
Len Davis has a standard point guard height of 191 centimeters and a terrifying weight of 215 pounds. This weight is far higher than that of an average point guard. But don’t guess wrong, he
He is not a fat man, these are solid muscles. What is even more frightening is that these strong muscles do not slow down his speed. At the same time, he also has explosive jumping ability.
At the same time, he also has excellent ball-handling skills, accurate mid-range shooting, and good three-point ability. These abilities, coupled with his terrifying tonnage at the point guard position, also allow him to attack with a back.
Very powerful.
Moreover, if the vague memory is correct, this season is the season where the bearded man will fight to become a god.
"Oh, it's so unbelievable. Parker can't stop Davis at all. They are not a heavyweight at all." The Warriors' on-site commentator exclaimed: "This is simply a lightweight and a super heavyweight.
A duel between them!"
On the court, Baron Davis had just pinned Parker to complete an explosive dunk. At this time, the big screen above Oracle Arena was replaying the scene just now.
Baron Davis held the ball and hit Parker with his back in the low post, knocked him backwards twice and turned around. Parker was unable to withstand the impact of the bearded Davis, but even after being knocked away, Parker still entangled him relentlessly.
When Parker got entangled again, Davis simply refused to dodge and dunked the basketball into the basket. Parker was unable to dodge and couldn't stop him. He could only sadly act as Davis's explosive dunk.
background.
To be honest, Davis' performance today has not been good so far. Today is the Lakers' second game, but it is the Warriors' first game. The Golden State Warriors have obviously not recovered from the holiday.
It means that the entire team is in a very sluggish state. Otherwise, after Richardson recovers from the injury, the Golden State Warriors with sufficient personnel will not be still entangled with the Lakers.
After all, judging from the strength on the panel, the Lakers are missing the most critical superstar Kobe Bryant, and the Warriors should be stronger than the Lakers. But this strength has not been fully exerted, and their touch has become a big problem.
The problem is as evidenced by the fact that he has made zero out of four three-pointers from the beginning of the game to now.
Although he did not get the chance to start the game, Adrian would not choose to sit still. When he sat on the sidelines, his energy would automatically focus on the court. From a calm and objective standpoint, he analyzed the two teams.
He analyzes each person's strength and weakness, and actively thinks about what he should do once he takes the field to get into the state as quickly as possible.
This preparation is boring and tiring, but it is definitely not in vain.
"Adrian!" Rambis finally called Adrian's name at the ninth minute of the first quarter: "Go and warm up. I'll replace Odom later."
To Adrian's surprise, he did not replace Parker, but replaced Lamar Odom at the small forward position.
Adrian is a little confused about Rambis' sudden substitution. Although he is not unable to play small forward, with a height of 2.03 meters and superior physical fitness, Adrian can also improve his shooting ability.
Become an excellent small forward.
But the problem is that Adrian's current shooting ability is too poor. If he plays the small forward position, it will affect the team's overall offense.
Although he was full of doubts, Adrian couldn't ask. At this time, Rambis had already taken advantage of the dead ball to apply for a substitution. No. 6 Odom came off and No. 1 Adrian came on.
Because it was the Lakers' possession of the ball, it was still the Lakers' offensive opportunity after the substitution. It was the first time that Adrian passed halftime with the team in control. This feeling was really strange.
Just when Adrian was about to start running to see if he could get an offensive opportunity, Parker, after halftime, passed the basketball to Adrian with a flat push from his chest, and then started running.
"Do you want me to play the triangle offense and serve as the point forward?" Adrian, who received the pass, couldn't help but thought in surprise: "This really looks good on me."
