Of course, the Warriors are not the only favorites to win the championship in the new season. The Heat and other teams also have a lot to watch.
The Bulls rose to prominence last season under the leadership of Rose, overpowering the Heat to take first place in the Eastern Conference.
Although they lost to the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls are still very confident.
How old is Ross?
How long has this Bulls team been formed?
This is only Thibodeau's first year with the Bulls!
The personnel of the Bulls are almost unchanged in the new season. If Rose is allowed to practice for a year, and if Thibodeau is given more time, will the Bulls be able to make a comeback and defeat the Heat?
This possibility is very high!
Compared with the Heat of the Big Three, the Bulls' biggest advantage is stability!
There were already rumors of discord between the Heat and the Heat in last season's finals, and the distribution of ball rights is always a problem, but this is not a problem with the Bulls!
The Bulls only have one superstar, and that's Rose!
The Bulls will not have a ball distribution problem because most of the ball is in Rose's hands and no one has any objections.
The more stable it is, the less likely it is to go wrong!
Especially in a tumultuous season following the lockout.
Therefore, the Bulls are also very hopeful to win the championship in the new season.
In addition, the Celtics in the East cannot be ignored.
Ever since the Green Army's Big Three were formed, the Celtics have been a force that cannot be ignored in the Eastern Conference.
No matter who you are, if you want to break out of the Eastern Conference, you must ask the Celtics first!
The Celtics are the touchstone of a strong team!
The same goes for the West.
Apart from the Warriors, the Spurs and Thunder are the most promising.
No matter what happens in the playoffs, the Spurs in the regular season have always been one of the strongest forces!
As long as Popovich is here, the Spurs can guarantee a ticket to the playoffs!
Like the Celtics, if you want to break out of the Western Conference, you must pass the Spurs.
The Thunder make people look forward to it with their youth and energy.
All four of the Thunder's young players have stayed on during the offseason. This young team has impressed people every year. With the end of leveling, it's time for the Thunder to reap the fruits.
Youth means hope, youth means the future!
This is what the old master said about beating him to death with random punches.
Although the Warriors look unstoppable, the Spurs and Thunder can't be underestimated either.
In terms of personal honors, there is also a lot to watch in the new season.
Curry has won MVP and FMVP for two consecutive years. Can he win the third one this year?
There is nothing the FMVP can do. If they can reach the finals, the Warriors can win the championship, and they are the boss of the Warriors, then the FMVP belongs to them.
But what about MVP?
MVP is judged by experts. This award requires both performance indicators and personal data!
More importantly, experts are tired of aesthetics!
I've given it to you for two consecutive years. If you don't have any outstanding performance in the third year, why should I give it to you again?
Ross in the east is not very good!
James will have a lot of ball rights in the new season. Is he also thinking about this trophy?
Durant is even more eyeing, always staring at the MVP trophy!
These people are all strong opponents for Curry to compete for the MVP trophy!
In short, although the new season is belatedly arrived, it is very exciting.
On December 25, 2011, the highly anticipated regular season officially started.
There are a total of five games on the opening day.
The first game was between the Heat and the Mavericks.
Deng Fang once said last season that the Mavericks are the Warriors' biggest enemy, and winning against the Mavericks is equivalent to winning the championship.
Deng Fang said this because in history, the championship in the 10-11 season was the Mavericks.
Historically, in the finals of the 10-11 season, the Mavericks defeated the Heat 4:2 and won the championship.
This shows that the Mavericks are still very strong.
But that was last season, and that was the Mavericks with Chandler, Stevenson and Barea.
All three generals left during the offseason, and the Mavericks' strength also plummeted.
The biggest change is on the defensive end.
Without Chandler sitting in the paint, the Mavericks' defense is like paper, with James and Wade coming in and out at will.
James and Wade did not shoot a single three-pointer in the entire game, and both scored in the penalty area.
After the game, James made 11 of 19 shots and 15 of 19 free throws, scoring the highest score of both teams with 37 points.
Wade's efficiency was equally astonishing. He made 11 of 21 shots and 4 of 6 free throws. He scored 26 points, the second highest of the two teams!
Apart from these two, no one from the Heat scored in double figures.
The Heat didn't shoot many three-pointers. They only threw 7 in the game and scored 4, with a shooting percentage of 57.1%!
The best performer for the Mavericks was Jason Terry, who made 4 of 10 three-pointers and scored the Mavericks' highest score of 24 points.
Nowitzki was heavily guarded by the Heat. He took 15 shots and hit 6, scoring 21 points.
In the end, the Heat relied on the outstanding performance of James and Wei to easily win the Mavericks 105:94, getting a good start to the new season.
It can also be seen from this game that the Heat are well prepared and James and Way have no problem with the ball.
James is the main attacker, Wade is the secondary attacker, hand the ball to James at the critical moment, let James play happily, and everything will be OK!
It can also be seen that the Mavericks are indeed much weaker in the new season, especially on the defensive end.
Originally, Nowitzki, Kidd, Terry and others were veterans, and their speed was very slow. Now that Chandler is gone as the defensive centerpiece, Stevenson and Barea are no longer there. If the Mavericks' strength is not to decline, it will be difficult.
impossible.
For both teams, the performance of the new players was not very good.
The most important new player added to the Heat during the offseason is Shane Battier. He only played 4 minutes in this game and missed a three-pointer. His other statistics were zero.
The new addition to the Mavericks is Odom. He played 13 minutes and only scored 4 points on 1-of-6 shooting.
The result of this game was not unexpected, but the other game was different.
The other game is the Celtics' game against the Knicks at Madison Garden Arena.
The Celtics swept the New York Knicks 4-0 in the playoffs last season. It is obvious that the Celtics are much better than the Knicks.
But the final winner of this game was the Knicks.
The Celtics' biggest offseason move was the signing of Brandon Bass, while the Knicks' biggest offseason move was the trade for Tyson Chandler.
What the Celtics lack is offensive power, while what the Knicks lack is defense.
The biggest reason why the Celtics lost this game was Paul Pierce's absence.
The best performer for the Celtics was Rondo. He was extremely efficient. He made 11 of 19 shots and 9 of 12 free throws. He scored 31 points and 13 assists!
The Knicks' best performer was Anthony, who was more efficient. He made 10 of 17 shots and 13 of 15 free throws, scoring the highest score of the two teams with 37 points!
Both Bass and Chandler performed well. Bass came off the bench and scored 20 points, while Chandler scored 6 hits!
In the end, the Knicks narrowly defeated the Celtics 106:104, avenging their sweep in the playoffs last season.
In another game, the Bulls defeated the Lakers on the road 88:87.
As long as it is a Bulls game, defense must be the main theme, which can also be seen through the score.
The game was thrilling, with the two teams deciding the winner at the last moment.
With two minutes left in the game, the Bulls were still 6 points behind, 79:85. Subsequently, the Lakers repeatedly failed to score on offense and failed to make free throws. The Bulls continued to score, and with 20 seconds left in the game, the score was only just one.
one cent!
But then Kobe made a mistake and gave the ball to the Bulls.
In the last 4.8 seconds of the game, Rose hit a go-ahead goal, turning the score into 88:87!
Then Kobe's buzzer beater was blocked by Luol Deng, and the Bulls narrowly won by 1 point!
In another game, the Thunder easily defeated the Magic 97:89.
The best performer for the Magic in this game was Ryan Anderson. He made 6 of 12 three-pointers and scored a team-high 25 points!
The best player on the Thunder team is undoubtedly Durant. He made 11 of 19 shots and scored a high of 30 points!
The Thunder's second-highest score came from Harden. He came off the bench and made 4 of 11 shots. He also scored the highest number of free throws in the game. He made 10 of 12 free throws and scored 19 points.
The son of Jingdezhen slowly began to show his power...
The teams that can play on the opening day are all popular teams in the league, and the Warriors are certainly no exception.
The last game was the Warriors vs. Clippers, played at Oracle Arena.
The Clippers made great changes during the offseason. They introduced DeAndre Jordan from the Warriors, and then traded with the Hornets in exchange for Queen Bee Paul.
Coupled with the additions of Billups and Caron Butler, the Clippers can be said to be powerful and star-studded.
The city of air-oops has been formed!
The Clippers' starting lineup is Paul, Billups, Caron Butler, Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan.
Generally speaking, players who face their old team will be full of fighting spirit, and Jordan is certainly no exception.
Previously in the Warriors, Jordan was also a strong player, and he could replace Lopez in the starting lineup from time to time.
After winning two championships, Jordan felt that he should stay with the Warriors and work hard with the Warriors to win three consecutive championships.
Who would have thought that the Warriors would decisively trade him to the Clippers during the offseason!
No one feels good about being abandoned.
However, strength still has to speak for itself on the court.
The Warriors started a team of five players: Curry, Clay, Prince, Tucker, and Yao Ming.
These two teams have completely different styles.
The Clippers have a twin-tower lineup, and the two guards Paul and Billups are also very stable and both are masters of tactics.
The Warriors have one senior and four juniors. They shoot accurately and are known for their speed and accuracy.
The game was very exciting, both teams played at their own pace.
The Clippers' offense was almost all positional warfare, with Paul, Griffin, and Jordan constantly picking and rolling and playing many alley-oops.
Even in the Oracle Arena, there were many fans applauding the Clippers' wonderful cooperation.
But the Warriors' offense is smoother and they score easier!
With Curry and Klay on the court, the Warriors have quite a lot of space!
Splash Brothers are the best weapons against the Twin Towers!
Just their off-the-ball movements alone made Jordan and Griffin very anxious!
I’m just asking you whether to change defense or not?
If you don't switch defenses, I'll kill you!
Whether it's Curry or Clay, they are both capable of solving the battle on their own!
In the past, the Warriors' opponents could still focus on Curry, but not now!
Klay's open three-pointers are no worse than Curry's!
Although he is a rookie, although he is not very accustomed to the rhythm of the NBA, Klay's three-pointers are no problem!
That's the guy Clay eats from!
Of course, Deng Fang knew this, but the Clippers did not.
As soon as the game started, Curry and Clay were running around without the ball. The Clippers put most of their energy on Curry, and Clay also got a lot of open opportunities.
The first three-pointer failed, but Clay didn't care. He adjusted his touch and scored three more in a row!
Every goal is scored hollowly into the net!
The Nets didn’t even move!
Klay is quite confident in his shooting!
Of course, this is also related to Deng Fang’s teachings.
As soon as Clay was selected in the draft, Deng Fang had a phone call with Clay: "We don't want you to be a role player. I have great confidence in your three-point shooting and defense! Next
You will be the starter during the season, and you will have unlimited firing rights. As long as the ball is in your hands and you feel you can take it, you can throw it!"
You know, the Warriors are the defending champions!
The Warriors have Curry, the top shooter in NBA history!
Clay is just a rookie!
Deng Fang is the most powerful head coach in the NBA!
For Deng Fang to say such a thing, Clay was certainly extremely confident!
The fact is that Deng Fang not only said this in the draft, but also in subsequent training camps and preseason games.
Both Klay and Curry have unlimited firing rights!
These are the only two warriors!
As long as Curry and Clay want to take action, they can do it anytime!
For a rookie to receive the same treatment as a two-time MVP, how courageous the head coach must be!
This shows that Deng Fang really trusts Clay and thinks highly of him!
Claiborne is confident in his shooting, and the head coach said so, of course Clay will not hesitate!
No matter if he is a rookie!
No matter if he is the defending champion or not!
I'm Klay Thompson!
My three points are the strongest!
No, Curry and I are both the best in three-point shooting!
As long as I take action, I will advance!
Klay scored three three-pointers in a row, and the Warriors immediately led by 5 points!
Under the guidance of Paul and Billups, the Clippers' offense is very organized, both inside and outside.
The pick-and-roll cooperation between Paul and Griffin is difficult to guard against. The Warriors can only choose to shrink the defense and let Paul make a mid-range shot.
Fortunately, Paul is more willing to score with mid-range shots. His emergency three-pointers are not as powerful as Curry!
The same goes for Billups, who relies more on open three-pointers to score.
As long as they shrink their defense and don't give Griffin and DeAndre Jordan lob opportunities, the Warriors won't be afraid.
Although Paul's mid-range shooting percentage was very high, and Griffin also made two foul free throws and scored 4 points, the Warriors' offensive firepower was stronger. Klay made three of four 3-pointers, and Yao Ming and Curry made two pick-and-roll dunks.
, Tucker also threw a three-pointer from the bottom corner!
Three points is one more than two points!
With the same shooting rate, the three-pointer is obviously more efficient!
After 5 minutes of play in the first quarter, the score became 17:12!
