NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 998 eye-popping results
The first contest between the two powerful players in the Western Conference attracted much attention, and the president of the league, Guang Touhua, also appeared at the Oracle Arena.
With Shifo retreating into the arena, Yaodao getting old, and the status of the old sports car team declining, the GDP era of the Spurs has basically come to an end.
But fortunately, the Spurs management is extremely capable of cultivating newcomers, especially Kawhi Leonard. This striker who was selected by the Indiana Pacers with the 15th pick in the first round of the 2011 NBA draft and then encountered the Holy City, after several seasons of honing, he has grown completely.
In the ranking of active small forwards, Leonard is generally considered to be the third active small forward after James Durant.
What's even more commendable is that he is a rare player with both offense and defense in active service.
Coupled with Kevin Love, who was previously acquired through a trade, the Spurs quickly completed the update iteration, entering the dual-core era of Leonard and Love from the GDP era.
After the game started, it fell into a stalemate.
Leonard, who has entered the sixth season of his career, is gradually showing super potential.
Whether the Warriors use Iguodala or Green to match up, they can't limit him well.
After the game started, he and Durant quickly entered into a rivalry mode, and neither side could guard the other.
After the first quarter, the Spurs led by a big score of 31:20.
It surprised many Spurs fans, and it also made many Warriors fans feel incredible.
It stands to reason that the Warriors are far stronger than the Spurs on paper, and the big four can't do dual-core?
Is there any reason for this? Is there still Wang Fa?
In the second quarter, the Spurs substitute Simmons made a shot to expand the lead, and Livingston also hit a mid-range shot to stabilize the Warriors.
However, with Leonard's singles at the basket and Durant's continuous feints causing fouls, and then hitting a drift shot from the left corner, the Spurs led 40:25.
After the timeout, even though the Warriors played three consecutive matches to narrow the point difference, even though Curry hit two three-pointers, even though Durant broke through dunks...
But the state of the Spurs is that if there is divine help, Ginobili hit a three-pointer and helped the Spurs expand their lead again.
After halftime, the Spurs led by 17 points 63:46!
The fans on the hotline are already blowing up. Before the game started, it is estimated that no one would have thought that the Spurs would have a good tailwind all the way.
Didn't you say that the Warriors are Galacticos?
Didn't we agree to announce the championship in advance?
What the hell, you've been blowing it all over the summer, but when it comes to actual combat, you're going to pull it off? !
The joining of Durant has certainly made the Warriors the first in the league in terms of combat power in the new season. Even the defending champion dynasty Trail Blazers, in the eyes of the media and fans, their overall strength is not as good as the Warriors' Big Four.
As a commercial league, the NBA's finale has been predicted before the start of the new season, which is obviously not conducive to the normal operation of the league.
The Warriors formed a four-star lineup. Although there was no black box operation in it, it made fans of other teams very unhappy.
From the top of the league to the fans below, the Warriors are not looking forward to the new season.
As a result, the Warriors became the ultimate villain of the 2016-17 season as expected, and became the target of criticism from all people.
In the opening game of the regular season, the Warriors' performance unexpectedly stretched their hips, causing countless people to climax. Seeing them being beaten by the Spurs in this way also made many stars secretly watching the show at home feel very happy.
However, Wang Zelin, Lillard, and Jokic are relatively calm. They have played against the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals for two years and know that this team is not so easy to defeat.
Especially the third quarter, has always been the strength of the Warriors.
Sure enough, in the second half, Love's hand feeling declined, and he missed consecutive low backs, and was counterattacked by the Warriors.
The Warriors played their best offensive wave in the third quarter, and quickly approached the score to single digits.
However, the Spurs are not soft persimmons, Leonard began to show super potential at the critical moment.
He first took the initiative to defend Durant successfully, then stormed Thompson successfully, and then stole Green's pass for a one-stop dunk...
After a wave of superb performance, Leonard turned into an away silencer, making the entire Oracle Arena instantly silent.
The Warriors fans at the scene were all dumbfounded!
In a VIP box at Oracle Arena, Spurs owner Holt grinned from ear to ear.
In the past two seasons, everyone's eyes have been on the Trail Blazers and Warriors, but they have not noticed that Leonard on the banks of the Holy City is quietly rising.
Leonard's strong rise has made San Antonio fans gradually come out of the shadow of losing Duncan.
In the new season, before Leonard, who has entered his peak period, leads the team, the Spurs will become a new force in the West!
Relying on Leonard's consecutive scoring to help the Spurs stabilize their position, the Warriors' wave of the third quarter came to an abrupt end.
After three quarters, the score between the two sides was 97:77, and the Warriors were still 20 points behind.
Seeing that the 73-win team he selected was about to lose, he was able to challenge at the critical moment. Three people double-teamed the ball and scored the ball, which caused Love's defensive foul.
Tough 2+1 wins!
Turning his head around, Leonard was not to be outdone, and hit a throw from a negative angle in the fast break, which also caused a foul. He stood on the free throw line and made an additional free throw.
After the first half of the final quarter, the Spurs led 110:82.
As a last resort, Cole could only send out his trump card-five small lineups.
In the next few rounds, the Warriors narrowed the point difference slightly, and it seems that the hope of overtaking is just around the corner.
But at this time, the Spurs generals have shown confidence. The two veterans Ginobili and Parker hit three-pointers in a row, and the point difference was once again widened by 20 points.
In the last two minutes, the two sides gradually replaced the main players, and the game entered garbage time.
In the end, the Spurs beat the Warriors 129:100 away to win the season opener.
…
portland.
Rose Garden Stadium.
"The Warriors lost? The Warriors really lost!"
Looking at the big score on the screen, Jokic froze for a moment, his tone was quite uncertain.
"Um!"
Lillard replied coldly~www.mtlnovel.com~but those fiery eyes revealed his inner unrest at the moment.
Still the same sentence, when Durant made the most difficult decision, basketball fans all over the world have already thought that the new NBA season has ushered in the finale ahead of schedule.
But what I never expected was that in the first game of the regular season of the new season, the four-star Warriors suffered a humiliating defeat. The visiting Spurs won by 29 points!
Such a result surprised countless people.
In addition, after this battle, many teams are no longer so desperate, and they are not so afraid of the Warriors Galacticos who have just formed the Big Four, rekindling their confidence in competing for the championship.
The four-star warriors don't seem to be as strong as the media say.
