10月19日晚8点，NBA2019-20赛季的最后一场季前赛在旧金山大通中心球馆落下帷幕。
Although the Splash Brothers have played very well, the Warriors at home lost to the Los Angeles Lakers 104:115.As in the previous game, Davis, McGee and Howard took turns to play, and the Warriors' weak inside line was completely blown by the Lakers.
No one knows how hard Cole used, but it is obvious that after Durant and Iguodala left, the Warriors' defense dropped a lot.Especially when Russell and the Splash Brothers played at the same time, the Warriors' defense did not significantly restrict the Lakers.Not to mention James, even guys like Kuzma, Cook, and Bradley can easily break through their defenses.The roles of the two players, Curry and Russell, almost overlapped. Instead of playing a positive role, they constrained each other's performance.
In fact, after the Warriors and the Nets reached a deal, some people thought that the Warriors didn't want to keep Russell in the team. They wanted to use Russell to trade an All-Star-level third player.After all, they already have Curry and don't need a No. [-] player.Although Thompson was injured at the time, it will not affect him playing in the new season.However, with the end of the offseason and the closure of the free market, the Warriors have never made any specific moves.No one knows what the Warriors are playing, but now it seems that Russell has become a difficult point in the Warriors lineup.It's a bit tasteless, but Russell's strength is not bad. When he leads the team alone, he can perform brilliantly in the game.However, none of the All-Star players went back to accept the role of the backup.
The Warriors are not the only team that has problems. Those teams with the ability to win the championship, including the Thunder, have more or less problems.This is a normal thing. After all, these teams have experienced personnel changes, and the running-in of the team cannot be completed in a day or two.However, there is not enough time left for everyone.The new season is about to start, and the intensity of the regular season competition will be raised several levels, but it depends on who can adapt to the rhythm of the game faster.
The Thunder's last preseason game ended two days ago.They beat the Memphis Grizzlies 129-105 at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, marking their fifth straight preseason win.Although this is a preseason game, Oklahoma fans are still very excited.They were once worried about their team. After all, Paul George was an integral part of the Thunder's two consecutive championships.When he left, the fans were very angry and very disappointed.
But judging from these few games, it seems that the current lineup is not bad.Needless to say, An Luo's performance, after the baptism of the World Cup, he has become stronger.While the offensive methods are more abundant, the organizational ability is also catching up with Westbrook.This brightened life for Adams and Noelle.Especially the latter, may become the next "cake king" in the new season.
In addition to An Luo, the performances of teenagers Alexander and Gallinari also made everyone full of praise.The latter is of course a normal performance, and what he needs to do is very simple. When An Luo attracts the opponent's defensive attention on the offensive end, he only needs to throw the ball from him into the basket.Of course, Gallinari's breakthrough ability with the ball is also very good.Except for the slight difficulty on the defensive end, he is definitely a very qualified championship-level starting three player.
As for Alexander, it was really a surprise.Five preseason games, five starts.Except for the accident that Donovan let him play the first position in the first game, all the remaining four games appeared in the second position.This adjustment can be regarded as completely liberating Alexander and An Luo.The former is like a fish in water at the second position, shooting from inside and outside, and his scoring efficiency is very high.The latter has the advantage in the No. [-] position. With a height of nearly two meters and an excellent wingspan, he does a better job in shooting, passing and defense.Even Westbrook couldn't help joking: "Maybe, I should announce my retirement, feeling that this Thunder doesn't need me anymore."
If there is a problem, the Thunder's defense has indeed dropped a lot.Robertson has returned from injury, but Donovan has not figured out how to use him.Putting it on the starting lineup, the offensive end is too slow; putting it on the bench, and wasting his excellent defensive ability.But in any case, the Thunder needs Robertson's defense, and he has always been an indispensable member of the team.The depth of the bench lineup has not been strengthened much.Compared with last season, Kanter, who is strong in offense and weak in defense, is missing, and Alexander, who has great potential, is added. The others have not changed much, so it is impossible to say whether it is good or bad.
On October 2019, 10, the new NBA season officially kicked off.
As last season's championship team, the Thunder, like last year, are waiting for the new season at their home court.Before the game begins, though, there's one more segment that will be the envy of the other 29 teams.
Championship Ring Presentation Ceremony.
For most players on the Thunder, this is not the first time.Therefore, everyone is far less excited than last year.The same is true for An Luo, winning the championship is not something elusive for him.
However, when the flag representing the championship of the 2018-19 season slowly rose in the Chesapeake Energy Arena, An Luo was still deeply moved.An Luo felt that he was so lucky!Being able to win championships at the beginning of his career, and there are still two.Throughout the decades of NBA history, there are not many teams that can win two championships, and the Thunder have successfully joined them.Every era has some superstars who shine and never win a championship.Some people gave up their dignity as superstars at the last moment, but still regretted leaving.
But that's not enough!
An Luo never thought that he would lose hope of winning the championship.Wherever he goes, he's trying to be the ultimate winner, and he always does.High school leagues, NCAA, NBA, Asian Cup, World Cup, everything seemed impossible, but finally became possible.Now, the new season is about to start, and the Thunder received last season's championship ring at their home court.This is a good start, and An Luo hopes that they can still stand on the final podium this season.
A new journey is about to begin.Two consecutive championships are far from satisfying An Luo's appetite!
