NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 354 The regular season begins, the first game against the Clippers
There is no doubt that this year's preseason game was boring because of some mouse shit. Not many people paid attention to the process and results of the game, and not many people cared about how the stars played.

The impact of this incident will continue and spread.

But no matter what, the league schedule should continue.

Time soon came to October 10, and the NBA regular season officially began.

As last season's championship team, the Lakers are currently one of the most popular teams in the league. Naturally, a strong and interesting team was arranged for the opening game.

Of course, it is also the most popular city derby for Los Angeles fans-the Lakers VS Clippers.

The Clippers this season have finally turned around and completely stood up.

The combination of James + Leonard is, to put it bluntly, the strongest striker combination in the league!Coupled with the help of the Clippers and Louis Williams, Jordan Jr., Harrell and other good players, they naturally became the favorites to win the championship.

And as a dual-core-driven team, whether it is James or Leonard, they have a bit of grievances with Wang Feng.

In the playoffs last season, the Lakers eliminated James' Clippers in the first round, and then eliminated the Raptors led by Leonard in the finals.

Now, the two players who lost to Wang Feng join forces, and they are bound to avenge their previous blows in the new season!
In fact, Wang Feng was quite surprised that Leonard was willing to join forces with James. After all, in another time and space, Leonard played the Lakers and James well.

After the Raptors won the championship, Leonard clearly expressed his interest in joining the Lakers, but he never entered the contract negotiation period, and even asked the Lakers not to trade without authorization before negotiating the contract with him and reinforcement.

The Lakers waited for several days for this, but finally realized that something was wrong, especially when Leonard flirted with the Clippers, the Lakers finally knew that they could not wait any longer, so Stud traded Davis with thick eyebrows.

After delaying the Lakers for a long time, Leonard finally chose to sign with the Clippers and form a partner with Paul George.

In fact, he had no intention of going to the Lakers from the beginning, and the purpose of that set of showmanship was also to interfere with the reinforcement work of the Lakers. If the Lakers really did it stupidly, maybe even Davis, the thick eyebrow brother There is no chance to get it. At that time, the Clippers will not only become a strong team in the West, but also easily solve a possible strong enemy.

It's a pity that cleverness was misunderstood by cleverness. The Clippers' management probably wouldn't have imagined that the Lakers won the championship immediately after reinforcing the thick-browed brother Davis, but they formed a luxurious lineup and became the biggest favorite to win the championship. , but failed in the next three seasons.

Of course, that's all for later.

The reason why Leonard is unwilling to join the Lakers, in Wang Feng's view, has a lot to do with James.

In the forward position, LeBron James is undoubtedly the object of pursuit and comparison by all players.

The vast majority of strikers will never have the opportunity to see James' taillights in their lifetime, so it is meaningless to compare them naturally.

But Leonard is different. After the Raptors won the championship, Leonard, who has two championships and two FMVPs, is at least only one championship short of James in terms of team honor.

In this case, should we team up with other stars and win the third championship to tie with James, or partner with James to win his third championship and let James win the fourth championship or even the fourth championship in his career? FMVP, how to choose this kind of thing is actually not much to worry about.

But things are different now.

Leonard did not get the second championship trophy in his career, and facing the Nets, Lakers, Warriors and other powerful enemies, it is difficult for him to have a chance to win alone.

In this way, teaming up with James is not so unacceptable. At least Leonard must have a helper if he wants to defeat Wang Feng, who failed to defeat Wang Feng in the finals.

……

Because of the certain dog incident, CCTV Sports has stopped the live broadcast of NBA games in all aspects, and major domestic sports media have also suspended related text live broadcasts. Therefore, the audience in Huaguo cannot watch this focus battle. The Chinese fans who are in the stage of excitement are not willing to watch the NBA to generate income for the United States at this stage.

In the United States, the game received unprecedented attention, and many media broadcast the game live.

Since it is the home court of the Clippers, the Lakers wear away uniforms on the field, but in the auditorium, it is obvious that the Lakers have more supporters than the Clippers.

"Come on! Wang Feng, beat LeBron and Kawhi! We support you!"

"Los Angeles belongs to the Lakers! The Clippers will always be just the younger brother behind the Lakers!"

Just from the voices and scolding on the court before the game, we can see how much everyone attaches importance to the outcome of this game.

The fans are like this, let alone the team.

Both teams paid enough attention to the opening of the regular season.

The Lakers directly deployed their strongest starting lineup, Wang Feng, Butler, Ingram, Kuzma, and Lopez.

The starting five for the Clippers are the well-known defensive player of the point guard, Patrick Beverly, known as the Black Bay, the shooting guard is the 18-year rookie Landry Shamet, and the small forward Paul . George, power forward Kawhi Leonard, center Jordan Jr.

In this lineup of the Clippers, the two guards are obviously short boards. Although Beverly has good defensive ability, but the offensive end is completely cumbersome, and Shamet, as the 18th overall pick in the first round of 26 years On the other hand, it is only the level of rotation of role players.

It's just that in the Clippers' lineup, these two are just fake starters.

The real main force of the Clippers point guard is the sixth man Louis Williams, and Beverley's playing time as a starter is obviously not much less than that of Louis Williams.

And Shamet, basically only played for a few minutes and will be replaced soon. The Clippers can send Harrell as a power forward, let George and Leonard appear at shooting guard and small forward respectively The position further improves the team's overall height, attack power and mobility.

All in all, although the Clippers' starting lineup looks slightly worse than that of the Lakers, the combination of James + Leonard alone is enough to make up for all lineup gaps in terms of strength.
