370 Who is the main character?
This is the first peak matchup in the true sense of the regular season in the NBA2017~2018 season, and it is a strong collision between the two best teams in the league at this stage.
Whether it's the season opener between the Eastern Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics, or the Western Golden State Warriors vs. Houston Rockets, it's hard to compete with this game.
Because this game almost began to fight to the death from the very beginning of the game.
That's right, it's a fight to the death.
Neither side ever thought of backing down, wanted to be conservative, and going all out and fighting to the death was the theme of this game.
This is a battle for revenge, but also a battle for glory.
In the long history of the NBA, there are many rivals, and it is undeniable that with the rise of the Warriors in recent seasons, they and the league's evergreen Spurs have gradually "feuded" because of the championship competition.
The two teams have met twice in the playoffs in the 21st century, and in the 2012~2013 playoffs, the immature Stephen Curry was kicked out by the old GDP, which was the beginning of the grievances between the two teams in recent seasons.
In the 2014~2015 season, the Spurs were the defending champions, and for the Warriors, it was a season of their all-round rise, but they regretted that they could not meet the Spurs in the playoffs.
The same is true for the 2015~2016 season, which is not played by the Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, which many people are most looking forward to.
It wasn't until last season that the Golden Staters, who had sharpened their knives in the Big Four, finally met the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, and they wanted to not only make it to the Finals, but also to complete their revenge on the Spurs.
However, after a fight, the Golden State people were once again out of the game.
Learn from the pain, lie down and taste the gall! They made a comeback in the new season, just to beat the Spurs, only to complete revenge, only to win the championship.
As far as Spurs are concerned, don't think that they always show a low-key posture and feel that they don't have the concept of "rivalry matchup".
Don't forget, it's such a team that has been playing against the Los Angeles Lakers, the traditional giants of NBA history, for almost the first decade of the 21st century.
Too many playoff feuds will eventually extend to the regular season, and when the feud between the two teams reaches a certain level, then they will take any subsequent game very seriously.
Just like this game, even if both sides have players absent due to injury, no one will be convinced, to put it simply: don't coward, just do it!
………
The confrontation on the court continues, on the Spurs' side, following Jin Feng's crazy three-point shot, Danny Green's outside hand is also fully open, and he also hit two three-pointers in a row, and Rudy Gay, who replaced Leonard's position in this game, also scored in the middle distance.
On the Warriors side, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, the "Splash Brothers" who used to be in the Megatron League, are also reunited, hitting three-point shots from the outside one after another, and in terms of three-point shots, they really haven't been afraid of anyone, in addition, Kevin Durant has also turned on the god-killing mode.
In terms of "hatred" for the Spurs alone, Durant is no less than Curry and other Warriors old men.
Because it was this Spurs team that made Kevin Durant "infamous", and his redemption journey last season was ended by this hated team.
So, if it doesn't break out now, when will it be?
The two sides come and go, every offense and defense, every round, is a needle-to-wheat mang, not an inch of land.
In the words of live TNT commentator Kenny Smith, this is a regular season game that has seen the intensity of the Grand Final King Battle in his commentatorial career.
After the first quarter of the game, the difference between the two sides did not widen, 45:44! The Warriors, who are playing away, have a one-point lead for the time being.
That's right, it's 45:44! The two sides combined for 89 points in the first quarter, which was a brand new record.
You can't say that the defense of both sides is not good, in fact, neither side is the kind of team that only attacks and does not defend, but the defense of both teams is also in the top five in the entire league in the new season.
The reason for such a big score can only be said that both sides performed very well on the offensive end.
However, throughout the first quarter, overall, both teams played well on the offensive end on the outside, and the inside line was a little unsatisfactory.
In particular, the duel between Aldridge and Draymond Green is almost unseen.
Of course, this may also be due to the fact that both sides play particularly well on the outside.
The two sides threw a total of 25 three-pointers in the entire first quarter, and hit a total of 18 of them, a whopping 72 percent three-point shooting rate.
Among the 18 three-pointers hit by the two sides, the Spurs hit 10, while Jin Feng alone shot 5 of 7 three-pointers, and he scored 15 points in a single quarter just by virtue of 3-pointers.
In fact, Jin Feng scored a career-high 22 points in the entire first quarter, accounting for almost 50 percent of the Spurs' total points in the first quarter.
The fiery state, terrifying three-point shooting rate, and bloodthirsty offense made Jin Feng a wolf in the darkness of the entire arena in an instant, and he was constantly picking his sharp teeth, posing a strong threat to the Golden State Warriors.
On the Warriors' side, "Death" Durant can be regarded as truly the Grim Reaper, he scored a total of 18 points in the entire first quarter, only 4 points less than Jin Feng, and is the best player in the Warriors.
In addition to Jin Feng and Durant, people like Danny Green, Rudy Gay, Stephen Curry, and Klay Thompson also performed very well in the first quarter.
Looking at the performance of the first quarter, it can really be described as a hundred flowers.
Who is the main character? Who is in charge? It's really hard to see for the time being, maybe you have to wait until the end of the game to close the coffin.
"This is undoubtedly a blessing for the fans who pay to watch the game live, and regardless of who wins or loses, from the perspective of visual enjoyment, this is undoubtedly a basketball game that will never be forgotten."
"For the home fans, they can cheer loudly now, because the San Antonio hero who shone in the finals last season ~ China Jin, is really back with full blood"
"That's right, that's it, Chinese Jin, an incredible player, O, no, now he's at least a star, an All-Star, in the long history of the San Antonio Spurs, they have no shortage of superstars such as Iceman, Admiral, Tim Duncan, but none of them are as bloodthirsty as China Jin, like Kobe Bryant, which to a certain extent, is not in line with their basketball culture, but for the Spurs, isn't this a new era?"
"China Jin, this game, in my intuition, he will be even more bloodthirsty, this game he will probably be remembered by everyone..."
