"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, the NBA has finally started again, thanks to the compromise between labor and management, and thanks to world peace, I can finally go to work and get paid again.

It's Christmas, and we're bringing you a Los Angeles Clippers vs. Golden State Warriors game in the NBA opener, and we're bringing you a live stream of the game at Oracle Arena in Oakland, California. ”

The opening remarks were made by Jeff Van Gundy, who is familiar to Celestial Empire fans, and he was right, because the shutdown ended, and as an ESPN commentator, he could finally get paid.

By the way, the world peace he is talking about is not Ron Artest, this guy has officially changed his name to charity * world * peace before the start of the 11-12 season, and the fans of the Celestial Empire have officially referred to him simply as Tzu Shiping.

"Talking about my partner, on my right hand is the tiresome Mike Brin. To be honest, I don't know why ESPN can't give me a different partner.

Okay, Mike, I know you have something to say, but allow me to finish introducing the guy on the left, his name is Jalen Rose, but he didn't bring his baseball bat tonight. ”

"Is it my turn to speak?" asked Jalen Rose.

"No, please wait a little longer. I'd like to make a final note that I believe the long-time viewers of ESPN must be concerned about where Mark Jackson's big ass goes.

Ask the camera to give a close-up of the Warriors' dugout!

Yes, I see, the guy who is writing and drawing with the tactical board is Mark, and Doris (Burke) should be going to give him an interview later, and I hope he has a good time in his coaching role. ”

Jeff Van Gundy is all kinds of hard work in the Rockets head coach position, but when it comes to the commentator position, he seems to be relaxed and humorous, and even the forehead lines are almost gone.

As it turned out, he was better suited to the position of narrator.

"Alright, Mike, it's your turn!" Van Gundy said.

"Damn, Jeff, you've got all my words done, let's go straight to the next part, Jaylen, what do you think of this game?"

"The Clippers are going to win, but I don't understand why Kraft Nguyen is wearing his No. 88 jersey, and I think the chair in the dugout is where he should be. He is now known to be the head coach of the Clippers. "Jalen Rose doesn't change his black nature, and he will shoot at Erniu whenever he has the opportunity.

Over the past few months, he has repeatedly disputed Nguyen Er Niu's approach of being the head coach.

Anyway, in his opinion, the only reason why Kraft Nguyen is also the head coach is that his own strength has declined, and there is no way to use his on-court performance to shock the locker room.

However, Erniu did not fight back against various trolls, including Jalen Rose, throughout the summer, and in the eyes of the Celestial Empire, the actual performance on the court trumped all words.

That's the beauty of competitive sports, as long as you win the championship, all the denigration and criticism doesn't mean anything.

Before the game started, Ruan Erniu took the initiative to walk to Klay Thompson's side and hooked up when he was warming up: "You haven't got the starting spot yet, have you?

Of course, Thompson would not reply rashly, and he was about to joke with Erniu when a silver-haired old man on the sidelines yelled: "Clippers players, don't want our players to talk now, we are all enemies until the game is over." ”

The guy who made the nasty sound was naturally Jerry West, the advisor to the Warriors.

Erniu looked at the logo man with provocative eyes, and the logo man immediately looked at Ruan Erniu in turn.

It is conceivable that as long as this item is still in the Warriors for a day, I am afraid it will be difficult for the Warriors to trade Klay away.

The above story is just a pre-match vignette, and the game officially begins as the mat show ends and both starters return to the field.

Let's take a look at the Los Angeles Clippers on the road:

c DeAndre Jordan

Pf Nguyen Er Niu

SF Kawhi Leonard

SG Randy Foye

PG Chris Paul

In the use of this set of starters, CP3 had a fierce dispute with Erniu during the team meeting, and the main contradiction was in the use of the second and third positions.

Erniu insisted on using rookie kawaii in the No. 3 position and tried to train him out in the regular season, and in the No. 2 position, Erniu still wanted to use the younger Randy Foye to maintain the impact.

But Paul thinks differently, and in his opinion, this season is the perfect time to challenge for a championship.

That being the case, why not put the more experienced Sean Battier and Chauncey Billups in the starting line-up.

In the No. 3 position, Nguyen Erniu finally reached a compromise with Paul, and Battier and Kawaii will rotate to start and adjust the best lineup combination.

But on the issue of the No. 2 position, Nguyen Er Niu almost arbitrarily rejected the idea of promoting Billups to the No. 2 position.

In order to veto this proposal, Ruan Er Niu even directly scolded the team's actual locker room leader, Chauncy Billups, in a player meeting: "With all due respect, Mr. (Mr. Key, Billups), your current speed on the defensive end can't keep up with which high-impact No. 2 positions, and if you play against which projection No. 2s, your height also has no advantage." ”

Does Erniu make sense?

Maybe a little, but a little far-fetched.

Foye is indeed faster than Billups, but his defensive experience, how can it be compared to FMVP.

When it comes to the height of the No. 2 position, in any case, the 6-foot-4" Foye will not be much taller than the 6-foot-3" Billups.

The reason why Ruan Erniu didn't want Billups to appear in the starting position was, in the final analysis, for the distribution of the ball.

That's right, he will never allow the Clippers to have the so-called double point guard tactics, there is a CP3 that has held the ball for a long time has made Erniu unhappy, plus a Chauncy Billups, Ruan Erniu's double MVP, is it possible to play without the ball + air cut all over the court?

All power struggles are, in the final analysis, a struggle of interests.

The two guys, Erniu and Sanpao, get along well on the surface, even in the team training, they are all kinds of "pickle girl connections", and the tacit understanding is incomparable, but if the two Taurus men want to achieve a real harmonious relationship, where is it so easy.

It doesn't matter, for example, Erniu and Sen, who are good brothers on and off the field, may never repeat it.

The relationship is harmonious in private and cooperates well with the court, but it doesn't really have much to do with it, such as Jordan and Pippen.

After talking about the Clippers, let's talk about the Warriors, their starting position tonight is:

c Andris Biedrins

pf David Lee

SF Darrell White

SG Stephen Curry

PG Monta Ellis

The only reason Thompson wants to stay on the bench is because Curry and Ellis both occupy the Warriors' backcourt position.

Jerry West won't sit idly by and watch the Warriors continue to make such mistakes, and he's already secretly planning a trade that could change the Warriors' future.

The referee tossed the ball high into the air, and DeAndre Jordan jumped high to get to the basket before Biedrins, and after the two bulls won the basketball in the backcourt, they went straight to the frontcourt.

Kraft Nguyen holds the ball in an arc and observes the situation on the field.

CP3 and Foyega crossed the position, while Kawaii suddenly inserted on the wing, and Jordan Jr. was just in time to raise the screen.

In the first gear and two, Jordan Jr. took away the defense of Biederins and Darrell White at the same time, and the two bulls instantly sent the ball through the ball.

Kawaii leaps high, his long reach allows him to touch the basketball at the highest point, and his huge palm allows him to catch the basketball steadily.

"Boom!"

Kawaii hung up the basket and scored the first point of the game.

"Jaylen, what do you think? Is Kraft Nguyen's athleticism declining significantly?" Jeff Van Gundy deliberately teased.

"He did make a good shot, but is he going to steal CP3 work? As for athleticism, I think it just proves that MVP's playmaking level hasn't dropped.

By the way, Kawhi Leonard has a good sense of the air, and I think the Clippers found a good wing player with the 15th pick. ”

On the offensive end of the Warriors, Monta Ellis held the ball and wanted to break through CP3, but the latter stuck the position well and did not give Ellis a chance to attack the basket at all.

In terms of the comparison of the two people's data, Paul occupies an overwhelming advantage, and height is not the main issue that determines the success or failure of the No. 1 position.

The 6-foot-0-inch Paul faced the 6-foot-3-inch Ellis, and the top spot was the more cunning CP3.

Kawaii flanks and Paul pulls the ball.

"Boom!"

The basketball was instantly out of Ellis's control, and Ruan Erniu and David Lee pounced on this basketball at the same time, after all, Erniu was the first to arrive.

instantly picked up the basketball and killed the Warriors basket, David Lee was thrown away by the two bulls when he started, the front court was 1vs1, and it was Stephen Curry who made up for the two bulls.

Elementary school students also understand that the gap in physical talent between the two is too big, and Erniu just has a big change of direction, leaving Curry behind.

Beautiful European step, Ruan Erniu jumped up easily, wiped the board and shot to complete the score.

"See? Kraft Nguyen's ability to bounce has been greatly affected and he is now playing more on skill and experience. Jalen Ross in the commentary box said.

Obviously, the Clippers continue to keep it pressing, but Jalen Rose, like many Mi Bulls, is about to die if he catches a little detail, as if after the European step, not keeping up with a one-arm split dunk is a sign of declining athleticism.

Hey, that's clearly not in line with ergonomics.

Jeff Van Gundy, who is in charge of fighting Jalen Rose in this game, pouted and gave the best intimidating quote of the game: "You-Said-All-Right!"

You're right!

However, the players who really continue to perform are above the pitch.

Monta Ellis broke through the ball and sent it to Bidrins under the basket, and Ruan Erniu hit a big hat to fly the ball to the outside.

After Stephen Curry received the basketball, he shook off the pounced Foye with an adjustment step, but he didn't recover after the opening.

"Bang!"

The basket rejected the three-pointer.

Erniu jumped high, and after winning the backcourt rebound, he immediately started the "Bull Sprint" and went straight to the frontcourt.

4vs4 in the frontcourt, Biedrins and Little Jordan were still playing confrontation in the backcourt, and Ruan Erniu had already advanced to the free throw area with the ball.

David Lee's defense may be a little better than some of the withdrawal players, but that's about it.

As soon as Ruan Er Niu accelerated, he held the ball and wiped David Lee's defense, and the paint area was empty.

The bull soared into the air, raised one arm high, and split the flat basket!

"Boom!"

The basket made a mournful roar again, and Ruan Erniu hung the basket high, as if he was dominating the world.

Jeff Van Gundy laughed: "Nothing just happened, just an NBA player who did what he used to do."

Well, it didn't take an official timeout, Mark was already up and the Warriors were suspended for the first time tonight. ”

Jalen Rose had the heart to defend himself a few more words, but finally conceded defeat: "Well, Kraft Nguyen's performance did exceed my expectations, and it seems that the meniscus laceration injury did not affect him much."

Still, I don't think he's a good head coach, so let's see how the Clippers' player zone is set up?"

Since Erniu became the head coach of the Clippers, the issue of on-the-spot command has also become the focus of people's attention, can Ruan Erniu not only play on the court, but also command the players off the court?

The camera at the scene gave the answer, and it was not Nguyen Erniu who was in charge of the Clippers' on-court command, but Tom Thibodeau, the team's first assistant coach.

"Defend, keep the pressure on the defensive end, keep the intensity, don't give Aucklanders any chances, we're going to win this regular season and get the season off to a good start. ”

In the first quarter of the game, the Clippers didn't give the Warriors too many opportunities, and even when it came to rotation time, the Clippers bench led by Chauncey Billups still maintained a strong style on both offensive and defensive ends.

It is worth mentioning the performance of Yi Jianlian, who used his actual performance in training to win a rotation opportunity in the No. 4 and No. 5 positions.

Against the bench, he hit two top-arc three-pointers in succession on the offensive end, receiving balls from Billups and Mo Williams.

In this era of paying more and more attention to internal long-term investment, Ah Lian only needs to maintain good health and overcome the obstacles in his heart to a certain extent.

In the current roster configuration of the Clippers, he does have a certain tactical position, after all, apart from Erniu, only he and Brian Cook can open up space to score from mid-to-long range.

As for the weakness on the defensive end?

There are a few players who can do their best, and a good team will definitely be able to make most of the role players play to their strengths and weaknesses and show more of their talent on the court.

As long as Erniu and Jordan Jr. stay on the court, Allen's disadvantage on the defensive end is not enough to make the Clippers break their muscles.

At the end of the day, replacing Brian Cook is not as good as Allen's performance on the defensive end.

At 33:20, the Clippers led by 13 points in the first quarter.

The game started quickly in the second quarter, and during the rotation time, Chauncey Billups once again led the team to play an amazing performance, he first hit consecutive three-pointers, and then assisted Battier and Yi Jian to hit long-range shots many times, instantly helping the team to increase the score to more than 25+.

From the middle of the second quarter, the game was completely on the side of the Los Angeles Clippers.

After Ruan Erniu and Paul returned to the court, they had no intention of stopping, and the pickle girl combination frequently connected during this time, either Erniu attracted the bag in the low position, and then let Paul hit three points on the outside, or Paul and Erniu completed the blocking and dismantling cooperation in the high position, and CP3 sent out the empty catch to suppress the whole court.

As if in response to Jalen Rose's comments about declining physical fitness before and after the opening game, Nguyen Erniu barely made any mid-range shots in this game, but the highlights of bombing the basket were enough for him to hit five shots last time.

David Lee and Ellis also tried hard to chase the points at one point, but their performance was a drop in the bucket after all.

As for Stephen Curry, who will be able to live every day in the future, he can't find the game form at all, and Klay Thompson off the court will need at least half a season or more to slowly adapt to the rhythm of the NBA.

It should be said that in the face of the Los Angeles Clippers, the current Golden State Warriors are completely in a state of being beaten.

At 73:43, the Clippers, who scored 40 points in the second quarter, dragged the game into garbage time in the first half.

Nguyen had a double-double of 28 points and 18 rebounds in the half, while Chris Paul also contributed a double-double of 11 points and 14 assists.

The Great Demon King of the Celestial Empire returned to the NBA after a season of injury reimbursement, and fans of the United States seemed to recall the fear of being dominated by the Celestial Empire.
