The Lakers suffered a 53-point defeat. Fans were shocked, experts were confused, and various media outlets expressed disbelief.
Only Deng Fang knew that this was the inevitable result.
The four kings of the Lakers appear to be powerful, but in reality they are strong on the outside and weak on the inside, making them vulnerable to a single blow.
Nash is already 38, so what can he do no matter how powerful he is?
Even if 38-year-old Jordan comes over, it won't be of much use!
Not to mention Nash, who has always been a defensive black hole!
Where's Howard?
He is indeed great, but Howard has always had a problem, which is that he is too emotional. He plays based on his mood, has no ability and skills, and needs a lot of ball rights!
Most importantly, the Warriors have Howard's natural nemesis - Yao Ming!
Artest has degraded, especially on the offensive end, Kobe Bryant is not as good as he was back then, and Gasol has also degraded seriously.
Without the praise from the outside world, it would be easy to say that there is still hope of winning against the Warriors with a challenger mentality. However, the Lakers' mentality is one of superiority and they completely look down on the Warriors!
You are just lucky!
It all depends on three points!
Basketball still needs to be close to the basket, mid-range shot is the way to go!
What's so scary about a bunch of young guys!
He doesn't have much strength to begin with, and he underestimates the enemy too much. A disastrous defeat is the inevitable result!
Deng Fang was quite satisfied with the result of the game.
How about taking action on the Lakers, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, to let the world see the true strength of the Warriors!
…
At the same time, another game also started.
The Celtics challenged the Miami Heat away from home, and the two teams started a fierce battle.
This game is a re-enactment of last season's Eastern Conference Finals. It is also a battle between Ray Allen and his old team. It is very eye-catching.
Ray Allen gave up his high-paying contract with the Celtics during the offseason and joined the Heat at a low price, which made the entire Celtics team hate him.
Enemies are hateful, but traitors are even more hateful!
Last season we fought hard against the Heat for seven games, but unfortunately lost in the end. As a result, you turned around and ran into their arms. What does this mean?
It's okay to say that the money we give is less, since we are all professional players and we are looking for money, but the money they give is much less than what we give. What are you trying to do?
Traitor, hateful traitor!
So the Celtics tried their best to win this game.
But strength still has to speak for itself on the court.
The Heat took advantage of their home court advantage to take the lead as soon as the game started. The Celtics then launched a counterattack, but were successfully counterattacked by the Heat.
The score at the end of the first quarter was 31:25, and the Heat led by 8 points after halftime.
In the third quarter, the Heat had a small climax that directly opened the point difference to 20 points. Then the Celtics counterattacked, but the Heat's fierce defense and Ray Allen's outstanding performance did not narrow the point difference much.
Obviously, the Celtics, who have mostly veterans, lack the stamina to compete with the Heat.
The Celtics worked hard for a few minutes in the fourth quarter and then came on the bench.
There is no other way. There is a gap in strength. I cannot accept it.
In the end, the Heat defeated the Celtics 120:107 and got a good start to the new season.
Although they can't beat the Warriors, they can still deal with other teams!
Throughout the game, five players from both teams scored in double figures. Pierce and Rondo performed well on the Celtics' side, while Buss, Courtney Lee and Barbosa also performed well.
The only one who didn't perform as expected was Garnett, who only scored 9 points and made 5 turnovers.
The Heat's best performer was Ray Allen, who was called a traitor by the Celtics. He made 5 of 7 shots and 7 of 8 free throws. He didn't make a single mistake and scored 19 points. He was extremely efficient!
Killing your old master with your hands is the most enjoyable thing!
This is also the scene the Celtics least want to see!
In addition, the Heat also scored in double figures with Wade, James, Bosh and Lewis.
Both teams performed well offensively throughout the game. The Celtics shot 46.2% from three-point range, and the Heat shot an astonishing 50% from the field.
In terms of free throws, the two teams were similar. The Celtics made 23 of 28 free throws and the Heat made 26 of 32 free throws.
The main reason why the Celtics lost was because they made too many mistakes. They had 15 turnovers in the game, while the Heat only had 8.
When facing the extremely oppressive and fast-oriented Heat, any mistake will be fatal!
Although it is only a regular season game, it can be seen that the Celtics are no longer as brave as they used to be, and the new season will definitely be difficult for them.
The Heat, on the other hand, are complacent and full of hope for the new season.
Although we were swept by the Warriors in the finals twice in a row, we are also the team that has reached the finals for two consecutive years, and we are also the team that is running sideways in the Eastern Conference!
The Warriors destroyed the Great Wall during the offseason, and we have introduced top shooters. Given the ebb and flow of one thing and another, it is not impossible to win the championship in the new season!
Especially James, when interviewed by reporters after the game, he even directly shouted to the Warriors: "I am no longer the same person I was last year, and the Heat are not the Heat last year!"
It seems that after having two extra legs, the emperor does have a bit more confidence...
…
In addition to the opening game, there are two games, one is the Spurs against the Thunder, and the other is the duel between the Bulls and the 76ers.
The Thunder left Harden in the offseason and replaced Martin and others, which had a big impact on them. The Spurs basically did nothing during the offseason, which can be used as a touchstone for the Thunder.
In terms of regular season record, the Thunder have never beaten the Spurs, but the Spurs were also miserable against the Thunder in the playoffs.
The game between the two teams was very close, and the whole game was full of hand-to-hand wrestling.
The Spurs' defense is great, and the Thunder's defense is also quite good with their incredible physical fitness.
In the end, the Spurs narrowly defeated the Thunder by two points, 86:84, getting a good start to the new season.
Five players from the Spurs scored in double figures, while three players from the Thunder scored in double figures.
In addition to Durant and Westbrook, the other Thunder player who scored in double figures was rookie Martin. He made 4 of 10 shots and scored 15 points.
Although Westbrook also scored in double figures, his efficiency was extremely low. He made 6 of 21 shots from the field and sent out 5 assists. However, he also made 6 turnovers and only scored 18 points.
It can also be seen from this game that although Westbrook's playing style is very entertaining, it really doesn't help much in winning, and it even has a negative effect.
…
In another game, the Bulls defeated the Bulls 93:88, avenging the playoffs.
The lineups of both teams have changed a lot compared to last season's playoffs. On the Bulls' side, Rose was injured for the season and Hinrich started.
For the 76ers, Iguodala was traded to the Nuggets during the offseason, and new aid Bynum was exempt from the game due to injury, leaving the team with little control.
Both teams are without their main players, but the Bulls' team structure is still there, and Thibodeau's defensive system is still retained.
Although the problem of beating the main force hard is not good, and although the offensive end is relatively casual, Thibodeau's defensive skills are still there.
Both teams worked hard on the defensive end, but in the end the Bulls performed better and narrowly defeated their opponents by 5 points.
