On the evening of October 31st, Stamp Center, just after 6 p.m.

There is still an hour and a half left before the start of the game between the Clippers and Warriors.

Tonight, Stamps' logo and floor were all replaced with the Clippers' logo, changing from bright yellow to red and blue.

This is the first home game of the new season for the Clippers, and they don't have a championship ring presentation ceremony like the Lakers, but the Clippers officially organized a grand home opener event to cheer on the team's new season.

The Clippers fans at the scene each received a red T-shirt.

Small teams are like this, there is really no trick to attract fans, so they give fans clothes.

It's like the Thunder, which is often haired, and if you are a fan of this kind of team, if you are not particularly particular about dressing, you don't need to buy a T-shirt every summer.

In terms of attention, the popularity of this game is not as hot as the Clippers playing the Lakers.

But judging from the comparison of strengths, this game is destined to be an exciting game.

Lakers vs Clippers are more of a gimmick, and the Lakers have been hollowed out, and in a few more games, the aura of last season will be lost.

The Warriors are different, they are strong in the summer, and young people like Curry and Thompson continue to grow.

At the same time, the team has strengthened, the most important of which is to trade Iguodala from the Nuggets.

It can be said that Iguodala's arrival has made up for the Warriors' previous holes in the forward position.

This operation is obviously for forwards like Li Liang, James, and Durant.

The Warriors also let go of the sixth man, Jack, to clear the "obstacles" for Curry's growth.

In the first game against the Lakers, Curry played mediocre, scoring only 10 points.

However, this is obviously not Curry's normal level, and this game against the Clippers is when Curry plays.

Coincidentally, on the Clippers' side, Paul played average in the last game against the Lakers.

He scored 12 points and delivered 5 assists in the whole game, and the limelight was all stolen by Li Liang.

Not only was the limelight stolen, but Paul was not less scolded, and it can be said that he was holding back a lot of energy to break out at the first home of the new season.

At the time of the entrance ceremony, Li Liang appeared in the penultimate position.

But the cheers from the crowd reached their peak, even surpassing Chris Paul, who appeared last.

The popularity of Mr. 60 in the finals is so high.

Li Liang is now in Los Angeles, and both jerseys are big sellers.

Especially the Lakers jerseys, which have been discontinued, have seen their prices soar.

Because there is a high chance that it will be out of print.

As the game was about to begin, the starters from both sides stood on the pitch and shook hands with each other.

Li Liang stepped forward to high-five Curry, but neither of them spoke.

Good friends off the court belong to good friends, and there will be no mercy on the court, which is the basic principle of playing NBA.

The Clippers started the same game as they did in the previous game, while the Warriors started Bogut, David Lee, Iguodala, Thompson and Curry.

This lineup is also quite balanced, even similar to the Clippers.

The center position is a defensive gate, a core point guard, an offensive power forward, an all-around small forward, and a defensive scoring guard.

In the Clippers' shooting guard position, Caron Butler looks inferior to Thompson at the moment.

Butler no longer has the strength to score 38 points in a single game.

However, where Butler is not as good as Thompson, Li Liang can make up for it.

Amid the shouts and cacophony of tens of thousands of spectators in Stamps, the game began.

Little Jordan can't do anything else, he's still very good at jumping balls.

The Clippers were the first to get possession.

At the beginning, Paul gave the ball to Li Liang again, which was the same as the opening of the previous game.

It looks like Paul is about to hand over power, which is not Paul's style.

But it soon turned out that Paul did not want to hand over power.

Paul ran to the right side of the rib without the ball, stuck Curry with his back in the low post, and asked for the ball from the outside.

Li Liang knew that before the game, Paul said that he would play with all his strength this time, and hoped that Li Liang would pass the ball to him more.

In the last game, Paul gave Li Liang a chance, so in this game, Li Liang certainly reciprocated.

Li Liang passed the ball to Paul, and Paul forced Curry to eat Curry one-on-one with his back, and used his big ass advantage to arch inward!

As a result, the referee blew the whistle and the first shot caused Curry's foul.

Curry shook his head, only ten seconds into the first quarter, he fouled?

Indeed, it was clear from the first goal that Paul was playing aggressively.

Turn your back, turn around and kill the basket, and force a foul.

Paul played so aggressively, in addition to the poor performance in the last game, another reason is naturally because the outside world has been comparing Paul and Curry recently.

Most people certainly still think Paul is the best point guard in the league, but others think Curry is more groundbreaking and will achieve more.

No way, Curry's style of play in the past two seasons is indeed very interesting.

Just like Li Liang, three-point shots cost lives, "Dare to shoot this, can you score this?" ”

Li Liang is mainly far away, while Curry is a tricky choice, and he can seize a gap that no one else dares to shoot or can't shoot.

People like Paul, who don't say anything in their mouths, are very concerned about this kind of comparison and evaluation in their hearts.

This is not the same as Kobe, Kobe Bryant would definitely say when he was young, "Lao Tzu is the first in the world, Lao Tzu is invincible in the world." “

Of course it won't be so straightforward, but that's what it means in general.

Paul is a bit more reserved, and he mainly relies on his performances on the pitch to speak.

Standing at the free throw line, Paul hit both free throws.

For the Warriors, Curry's foul so early is not good news.

The Warriors attacked, Curry controlled the ball and chose to hang the pass to Bogut under the basket.

Bogut received the ball and chiseled his back, but did not chisel, and the hook of his left hand was missed.

Griffin grabbed the rebound and the Clippers fought back.

Paul advanced with the ball on the right side and passed the ball to Li Liang, who was following on the left.

Li Liang received the ball from the outside and made a direct three-point shot and hit it!

Iguodala didn't lose the ball defensively, but Li Liang chose to catch the ball outside the three-point line and throw it directly.

Iguodala tried his best to interfere, but Li Liang still hit the ball.

Li Liang knew that there was a ball as soon as he shot it, it was too smooth, and there was no sense of lag at all.

Even if Iguodala interfered with himself, he still felt that he could go in.

Iguodala defends much better than Nick Young.

The opening game was 5:0, and the Clippers' attack power in the starting game is really quite strong.

The Warriors immediately responded with David Lee running to the ribs in a circle, asking for the ball in a good position, and after receiving a pass from Curry, he forced Griffin with his back and hit a hook on his left hand.

Griffin was obviously stronger than David Lee, but was easily beaten back by David Lee and turned to the front and scored a goal with a hook hand.

"Will you defend your back, hard, hard! There's a good start! “

Li Liang instructed Griffin how to defend his back, Li Hao is a person who has just passed Duncan in the system, and he knows the minimum point of back defense, you have to be strong.

Griffin has a good body, a strong body, but he doesn't know how to use them to defend against his opponents.

But Griffin knows how to use his body offensively.

Paul dribbled in the high post, turned around with a flashy crotch dribble, burst inside and then made a back-hitting pass to Griffin.

Griffin received the ball and dribbled inside, pushed David Lee away, and hit a high throw board with his right hand.

The Clippers opened with a very fast pace of offense, with all three offenses coming in about 10 seconds.

This is the strategy of the Clippers in the new season.

Based on the team's lineup, Rivers thinks it's a waste for such a lineup not to play offensive basketball.

Owner Ballmer agrees with the idea, as the Clippers are a new team that needs a beautiful offense to attract more fans.

The Clippers have already had the title of "City of Empty Connections" before, and their offense has played very beautifully.

It's just that in addition to being beautiful, it lacks the ability to fight tough battles.

Now that Li Liang is here, he doesn't have to worry about this ability.

The Warriors were a little stunned by a combination of punches from the Clippers.

As a result, Curry made a mistake when passing the ball from the outside, and he wanted to give a big oblique pass to Thompson in the bottom corner, but the passing intention was too obvious and the ball was too long, and it was intercepted by Li Liang.

Li Liang dribbled himself and launched a fast attack, but the Warriors' defense was not as good as the Lakers, and Iguodala and Thompson stepped forward to block and slowed down Li Liang's speed.

Li Liang could only distribute the ball to Paul and reorganize the offensive position.

Entering the position to attack, Li Liang began to intersperse the running position.

Although he didn't accept Rivers' tactical arrangement of making him an empty-handed running pitcher, he was still willing to do it when he cooperated with Paul in the offensive and tore up the defense.

Li Liang's running threat is really big, and Iguodala has to follow Li Liang all the time.

Compared with the previous game, Li Liang received a lot more defensive pressure.

Iguodala is not a stake man, he is extremely physical, very defensive, and arguably one of the best defensive small forwards in the league.

Before the game, Mark Jackson told Iguodala to keep an all-out eye on Bruce Lee, to give it his all from the start, and not to give him a feel.

The 60-point performance in the finals is now like a shadow, always hanging over the heads of coaches across the league.

Iguodala's defense worked, Paul didn't pass the ball to Li Liang, and after giving it to Griffin on the inside, Griffin made a walking violation and made a mistake in the offense.

The Warriors' defense has improved again from last season.

Iguodala's arrival has made the team's outside line less porous, and the inside line can focus on the opponent.

Curry then tore through the Clippers' defense after a series of switchback runs.

He caught the ball on the outside and attracted the attention of the Clippers' three-man defense, David Lee took the opportunity to cut to the basket, and Curry passed the ball to David Lee with a no look pass.

David Lee forced a layup, causing a defensive foul on Jordan Jr. who was on defense.

This ball can see the difference between Curry as a point guard and the average point guard.

He didn't hold the ball all the time to organize, but after tearing the opponent's defense through running, he was waiting for an opportunity to pass the ball or attack himself.

This is due to Curry's good sense of movement, as well as extremely agile footwork and speed.

David Lee hit both free throws, and the Warriors obviously won't collapse in one quarter like the Lakers.

They are quite strong and this is destined to be a fierce matchup.
