Chapter 275
Chapter 275
On November 11, the 6-87 NBA regular season kicked off.
Since the start time is nearly a week later than last season, there are as many as 11 games today, and the so-called opening game is in name only.
Regarding the setting of the schedule, there are no particularly eye-catching games, and there are many games, so the number of all-meter live broadcasts is the key, and the Warriors are one of them.
I have to say that Stern is really good to the Warriors. The team with the most live broadcasts this season, apart from the Lakers and Celtics, is the Bulls and the Warriors with the most.
The opponent in this game is the Warriors' old opponent in the playoffs last season, the Seattle SuperSonics.
The main lineups of the two teams have not changed much this season. In the original draft, the Supersonics still had a chance to change their fate. Unfortunately, even though Frank has assisted to this extent, the Supersonics still traded Pippen Gone, in exchange for a power forward in Alden Polynes.
It's a pity that Chambers already has Chambers at the supersonic power forward position, so Polynice doesn't get enough playing time to exercise at all.
Unlike the Supersonics' starting lineup, the Warriors' starting lineup for this game has undergone some changes. First of all, Rodman returned to the bench. Mullin mentioned the small forward position, and the shooting guard position. Dell Curry.
The reason for this choice is firstly that Rodman's outside offense is still out of the question. Although he can provide the team with effective defense, it is too harmful to the team's offense.
Second, the reason why Curry is used instead of Hornacek is that Curry's defense is better than Hornacek's, regardless of height, weight or wingspan, all are better than Hornacek.
Of course, Hornacek is not useless. His organizational ability and autonomous offensive ability are better than Curry. Unfortunately, there are already three ball-holding points in the starting lineup, so Hornacek is not so necessary to organize, let alone Curry. Li himself also has a certain ability to attack with the ball, although the organizational ability is really not good.
Therefore, the Warriors' starting lineup was changed to: Li Weisi, Curry, Mullin, Smith and Malone.
After the game started, Ma Long won the ball.
Ma Long, who is one year older, is already 32 years old, but his physical condition is still so good. Facing the 213cm Alton Lister, he can still grab the ball.
After getting the ball, Li Weisi quickly launched a fast break, and McMillan immediately rushed to delay Li Weisi, preventing Li Weisi from directly chasing three points.
Everyone played so many games in the regular season and playoffs last season, and they already knew a little bit about Li Weisi's technical characteristics.
But facing McMillan's defense, Li Weisi didn't have the slightest intention of shooting. After taking the ball for a step, he quickly passed it to Mullin at a 45-degree angle.
Mullin, who got the ball, made no adjustments and shot directly from outside the three-point line, and the basketball hit the net.
What the hell?
The Supersonic players who saw this scene were all dumbfounded. Is this guy Mu Lin or Li Weisi?
Next, Chambers of the Sonics got rid of Smith's defense, made a layup after an air cut, and changed the score to 2:3.
Turning around, it was the Warriors' turn to attack. Li Weisi held the ball at the top of the arc. Mullin and Curry used two insiders to pick and roll without the ball.
After receiving the ball, Curry saw that Ellis, who was defending him, had just bypassed Smith's pick-and-roll from the inside, so he directly chose a three-pointer, cleanly, and hit again.
The supersonic was completely dumbfounded now, what is the situation of the Warriors, why are they all infected by Li Weisi?
In the following games, as long as the Sonics' defense did not expand, whether it was Mullin, Curry or Li Weisi, the instigator, they would definitely shoot three-pointers very decisively.
The point is, these three were not too accurate in the first quarter. They made 8 of 5 three-pointers and beat the Sonics 22:8.
When there were more than 3 minutes left in the first quarter, the Warriors entered the rotation, going up and down, and Nelson's substitutions were extremely unrestrained.
Five substitutes: Price, Hornacek, Schramf, Rodman and Duckworth.
Originally, the Sonics thought that after entering the bench stage, the Warriors should play steadily, but they didn't expect the Warriors to shoot three-pointers like this from outside the bench.
In the few minutes of the first quarter, Price and Hornacek each scored another three-pointer, widening the point difference to as much as 15 points in one fell swoop.
It's just that the Warriors' substitutes didn't shoot as high a three-pointer as the starters, which finally gave the SuperSonics a sigh of relief. I never thought that Rodman and Duckworth's offensive rebounds were no better than the first one. Poor starter.
Especially Rodman, obviously he plays a small forward, and the 206cm Schramf plays a power forward, but whether it is an off-ball pick-and-roll or grabbing rebounds, what he does is the work of a power forward, and Shi Lamf Muff, on the other hand, ran to the bottom corner three-point line, opened up space, and started working as a small forward.
Even so, Alden Polynice, the No. 211 pick in the first round of this year with a height of 8cm, couldn't grab rebounds from Rodman, who was only 201cm.
In this way, at the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the SuperSonics by 43 points at 30:13.
As soon as the second quarter came on the court, due to the Warriors' frequent three-pointers from the outside, the Sonics had to expand their defensive area, making it possible for anyone inside to run.
At this time, both Plath and Hornacek chose to hang the ball to Duckworth inside.
The strong and strong Duckworth was also unambiguous. He faced Supersonics substitute center Ruth Cheney one-on-one. Scored seven points in a row, which dealt a heavy blow to the Sonics' inside line.
In this way, the Supersonic's defense is neither expanding nor shrinking, and it is extremely uncomfortable to be mobilized by the Warriors.
After the starter played again, it is still the same. It can be said that whether it is a starter or a substitute, they have used the shooting tactics to the extreme.
At the end of the half, the Warriors had already scored 79 points, leading the SuperSonics by as many as 79 points with 52:27, which almost turned the entire second half into garbage time.
You must know that the Supersonics caused a lot of trouble for the Warriors in the playoffs last season, but no one thought that this game would be lost at halftime.
In the second half, the Supersonics will naturally not sit still, and the Supersonics' three guns are frequently exerting force, trying to catch up with the score.
But at the critical moment, Li Weisi and Ma Long stood up, and the two teamed up to score 18 points, which completely extinguished the momentum of the Supersonic counterattack. Even when the third quarter ended, the point difference had reached as much as 29 points.
In the fourth quarter, both sides sent substitutes, and the Sonics announced their surrender.
At the end of the game, the Warriors beat the Sonics away 134:106, making the Sonics silent at home. More than half of the fans chose to leave the game at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
Li Weisi played 28 minutes, made 18 of 11 shots, scored 31 points and 12 assists, and his efficiency was outrageous.
In addition, a total of 7 Warriors scored in double figures. Malone had 20 points and 13 rebounds, Mullin had 24 points, Plath had 11 points and 5 assists, Hornacek had 12 points and 4 assists, Schramf had 10 points, Dak Voss had 13 points.
The Warriors played a total of 12 players, all scoring.
In addition, the Warriors made 23 of 13 three-pointers, a hit rate of 56.5%, and grabbed a total of 57 rebounds, 21 more than the Sonics, including 18 offensive rebounds.
With such a shooting percentage and rebounding, how can the Sonics win the Warriors?
Today is the last day of the double monthly pass event. If you have a monthly pass, please help to vote. If you vote after today, you will lose a lot! ! ????????
