Chapter 1046 The New Version of the Golden State Warriors

The problem for the Warriors this season is that their cap has exploded.Curry + Buddha + Green + Russell, these people alone have completely filled the salary vacancies. If they let Durant leave directly, they actually have no room to sign people.

In order not to let Durant leave for nothing, they chose to sign first and then trade to get the young Russell.

拉塞尔上赛季顶替奥拉迪波进入了全明星赛，赛季场均21.1分3.9个篮板7次助攻1.2次抢断，3分球命中率是36.9%，场均可以命中2.9个3分球，进攻组织都不错。

Russell signed a four-year $4 million contract with the Warriors this summer, which makes his price-performance ratio not so high.

Russell overlaps with Curry to a certain extent. He also needs the ball, and his defense is worse than Curry, and he needs someone to wipe his ass.Compared with Buddha who does not occupy the ball and is strong in defense, he is indeed not suitable for the Warriors.

But the problem is that the Warriors can't have Buddha this season, so Russell can at least make up for the offensive firepower that Buddha missed.

Attendance at the Chase Center remains very good.Although the Warriors have not won the championship in the past few seasons, they have also created a very good regular season record. If they hadn't encountered the Big Three teams like the Thunder and the Cavaliers, they might have won the championship long ago.Although Buddha is reimbursed this season, Curry is still there, and Ku Hao is still there, so there is actually no need to worry about attendance.

The game was broadcast live on Tencent, with Duan Ran and Su Qun as the commentators.

Duan Ran said: "Mr. Su, how much combat power do you think the Warriors can maintain this season?"

Su Qun said: "This is very difficult. Both Thompson and Durant are superstars who can both attack and defend. This is not something that Russell alone can make up for."

Duan Ran asked: "Do you think Curry can return to the daily level of the 2015-16 season?"

Su Qun shook his head and said: "It's very difficult. It's impossible to maintain that level forever. That season was really amazing. Xie Kai was reimbursed for the season again. It was really almost perfect."

Duan Ran said: "Tell me about the Clippers this season!"

Su Qun said: "I am very optimistic about the Clippers this season. After Xie Kai left, this team will have stars. You should have known before that they played very well as a team. There is a lack of superstars. Xie Kai and George have come, and they have made up for superstars and offensive and defensive strikers. This team has been upgraded and has a good prospect."

The starting lineups of both teams were announced.

The starting lineup of the Warriors at home is: center - Kevon Rooney, power forward - chasing eggs Green, small forward - Puppy Robinson, shooting guard - D'Angelo Russell, point guard - Stephen Curry.

The starting lineup of the Clippers in the away game is the same as the previous game, still Xie Kai, Beverly, Harkless, Patterson and Zubac.As another main figure of the team, Paul George will continue to miss due to a shoulder injury.

Although the biggest reason for the Warriors' elimination last season was Du Xiaoshuai and Buddha's serious injuries, they were eliminated by Xie Kai's Thunder for three consecutive seasons.Warriors fans hate Xie Kai for keeping this talented team from winning a championship once.At the Chase Center arena, many excited fans booed Xie Kai, who is now wearing a Clippers jersey.

Xie Kai’s mentality is very good. San Francisco is also an area where Chinese people gather, and many K honeys came to cheer for him.He didn't respond to some Warriors fans booing him. He had seen this kind of scene too many times. He had never heard any rude insults in the NCAA. This kind of booing is a small case.

The players on both sides had no grievances. Xie Kai and Curry even hugged and made a few jokes.

Rooney and Zubac prepare for the jump ball near the middle circle and the game is about to start.

The Warriors were at their strongest during the Durant period, and when they won 73, there was no Durant.But they were strong at the time, not only the Splash Brothers + Green Iron Triangle is strong, but their lineup depth is also the best in the league.At that time, there were gods like Brother Yi and Livingston sitting on the bench, but today's bench lineup is made up of Marquese Chriss, Pascal and other players with insufficient combat power. Compared with the past, the gap in strength is clear at a glance .

The jump ball started, Rooney beat Zubac with the jump ball, and the game officially started.

Curry dribbles slowly across half court.

In Kerr's system, the offensive end is passing and cutting, and the defensive end is infinite switching.This system has allowed them to be the two teams with the best record in the league (the other is the Thunder) in the past few seasons, at least in the regular season.

Although the Warriors do not have Durant and Buddha, they are still playing their signature pass and cut, and as a rookie, Russell is also running tactics.

Chaser is dealt cards at the top of the arc. Because of his 3-pointer feeling has continued to decline recently, many defenders at the top of the arc simply ignore him. If you want to shoot, just shoot.

Chadan is a point forward at heart, so he has little desire to shoot. He doesn't like offense very much, he likes defense and passing.

The Clippers' matchup is to let Beverly chase Curry, and Xie Kai is against Russell, which is the traditional matchup by position.

Because Rooney and chasing eggs don't have 3 points, the Warriors' offensive space is not as good as imagined.

Russell received the ball, faced Xie Kai, couldn't get rid of his crotch, and then returned the ball to Curry.His speed is not fast, he is a technical flow, relying on rhythm and fake moves to surpass others.In terms of physical talent, he is still a bit overrated as the second place.

Xie Kai's defense of such a slow shooting backcourt has always been close-fitting.He is close to the body and does not attack easily. He keeps confronting and destroys the opponent's rhythm, but he will not easily deceive the opponent into fouls by fake moves.

Curry reorganized, and he was not very comfortable facing Beverley's bite.He is not a star who likes to fight hand-to-hand. His style of play is very elegant, with an elegant feeling of "passing through the flowers without touching his body".

Beverly, on the other hand, showed the rudeness and toughness of a grassroots background. He knew that he could become the starting No. 1 next to Xie Kai, not by relying on Ritian's 3 points, nor by unpredictable passes, but by It's your own defense.If he didn't have this defense, he couldn't compare to Lu Wei at all.

Curry points to the basket and Rooney!

Rooney turned over and hooked after receiving the ball-strike the iron!

Patterson accepted the rebound and handed it to Xie Kai to advance.

Duan Ran said: "Rooney's job is still a little rough!"

Xie Kai pushed forward, faced the defense of the puppy Robinson, forced a charge, and divided Harkless on the other side.

Harkless splits Patterson in the bottom corner again!

Patterson's open 3-pointer - almost!
