With 8 wins in 8 games in the preseason, the Warriors' hot state really shocked many experts, so in ESPN's new season outlook on October 23, the Warriors were discussed by many experts.

"Can the Golden State Warriors turn the tables?"

On TV, NBA expert Bill Simmons looks forward to the new season for the Warriors.

Now the Warriors have the league's brightest rising star, Li Zhi, and have undergone a major change in the summer, and it seems that the run-in is not bad.

"Last season's Warriors were arguably failures, and of course, their only achievement was trading for Lee Chi in the draft."

Bill Simmons' words once again unraveled the wound of Jordan's gods, and now, Richie and Durant are called 07 double stars, and they have let go of a rising star who has the hope of changing the league in the future.

On TV, highlights from last season of the Warriors were shown, and most of them were footage of Rich.

"In my opinion, the Warriors have traded successfully this year. Their goal is not in the present, but in the future. After a pause, Bill Simmons said with a smile: "With Li Zhi as the cornerstone of the team, I don't think everyone will have an opinion, and Li Zhi's ceiling also determines the Warriors' ceiling." ”

"And, this summer, the Warriors traded for Shaq O'Neal, O'Neal is still powerful, and he's going to be a good teacher and will let Lee know how to be a leader."

"Rebuild, what is needed? Talent is required. ”

"And the Warriors got Kyle Lowry and Milicic through trades, all of which are hoarding talent. Now it seems that the Warriors' players who were traded for are doing well, especially Milicic, who should have learned something next to O'Neal. ”

After Bill Simmons finished speaking, Milicic was shown on the TV with highlights from the preseason game.

Milicic in front of the TV rarely smiled on his cold face, and snorted coldly in his heart: Hmph, I will prove that I will be a real role model!

"The most important thing is that they have two starters on the bench."

Bill Simmons woke up the dreamer with a word, and the Warriors' bench was Jamal Crawford, Cory Magetti, two players with starting strength, and a Nick Young, who had performed well in the Wizards before.

"Last season, the Warriors had the lowest bench scoring in the league, and after having such a horrible bench combination this season, I have already begun to wonder if the Warriors will make the playoffs this season."

Bill Simmons ended his analysis of the Warriors with this sentence, and it was clear that he was extremely bullish on the Warriors.

Chris Mullin, who was sitting in the Warriors' general manager's office at this time, calmly took a sip of coffee, his face was red, compared to the start of last season, this feeling of being in the spotlight is really good, and this time his position should be consolidated.

However, the Warriors have been on everyone's radar, and some other teams have not been so lucky.

For example, the supersonic speed where Richie's old rival Durant is located, no, it should be called the Thunder now.

After a brief legal battle, team owner Bennett and the City of Seattle reached an agreement to leave the team's original name and color for Seattle so that the city's new team could one day use it, while bringing a team of its own to Oklahoma City, named the Thunder.

The Thunder have officially distanced themselves from the SuperSonics, but their preseason has not gone so well.

While Durant has been scoring as many points per game this season and shooting percentage as he did last season, Russell Westbrook, a rookie they drafted with the fourth pick this summer, doesn't seem mentally ready to enter the NBA.

The shooting selection was unreasonable, the number of fouls was high, and the turnovers were far greater than the assists, which made Durant, who was looking forward to a summer helper, even more jealous of Rich.

In the preseason game with the Warriors on the 22nd, Durant scored 23 points on 7-of-14 shooting, but his little brother Russell Westbrook made 2-of-12 shooting, and the embarrassing shooting percentage naturally had the credit of Kyle Lowry.

"Little Steel Cannon" contributed 3 steals and 1 block in his first game against rookie rookie Russell Westbrook, and Westbrook also gave "Little Steel Cannon" 3 turnovers.

This can't be blamed on the "little steel cannon", after all, Lowry cherished the hard-won opportunity to be the starter, and the two years in the Grizzlies can be described as a hard work, and now it is reused, so it is naturally extremely hard-working.

This game also brought Westbrook and "Little Gun" together, so much so that in the years that followed, after Westbrook evolved, every time he met Lowry, he would be extremely embarrassed.

It is not only Li Zhi and his warriors who are favored, but also the league giants and new overlords.

After the Lakers were eliminated by the Celtics last season, Bryant said in the locker room: "The runner-up is the biggest loser. ”

This season. In order to play against old rivals Celtic, they did not hesitate to trade Brian Cook and Maurice Evans from the Magic for Ariza.

This season is clearly about to make a comeback and is more prepared than last year.

Defending champions Celtic have won all of their pre-season games with a hard time, although pre-season is of little value for such a consistently strong team. But looking at their lineup, you feel powerful.

There is also the Magic, who have finally awakened in the East, and the Magic team has deployed long-range shooters around Howard on the perimeter, a simple but very effective tactic.

Of course, the prospect of a new season is always about rookies.

Rose, the No. 1 pick selected by the Bulls this year, has already bloomed his charm, and lightning and lightning are Rose's labels, and some people call Rose, Richie, and Durant the people who will change the league in the future.

……

The Warriors' regular season opener was on October 30, 2008, and as in previous years, the Warriors' opener was the league's opener.

On this day, there are three games in the opener, and the Cavaliers face the Celtics led by the Big Three in the East, which is a playoff continuation of last season.

In his fifth thought in the NBA, the little emperor James is becoming more and more mature, even though the difference between the Celtics and the Cavaliers is huge, but the game is extremely exciting.

James led a group of "old, weak, sick and disabled" to play with the Celtics until the last minute, and the little emperor scored 22 points, 7 assists and 9 rebounds, all of which were the highest on the team.

But it was the Celtics who won the win with a more complete lineup, and although Ray Allen was not in good form, scoring only 8 points on 2-of-9 shooting, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce played a solid game, and the more mature Rajon Rondo actually lost without complaining.

And the other Lakers and Trail Blazers game looked like a slaughter.

Bryant and his Purple and Gold taught Roy and his Ripping Army well, and Pau Gasol was unrelenting in the face of Lamar Aldridge, scoring another 20 points and 15 rebounds while allowing Aldridge to score 8 points on 4-of-12 shooting.

Brandon Roy, who was pinned on by the Trailblazers, was in serious decline when facing his own deity "Black Mamba".

And Greg Oden, who was still known as the "Emperor" at this time last year, played 12 minutes, 0 points and 5 rebounds in 4, and it seems that the "Emperor" is not as good as a blue-collar worker.

The Portlanders weren't completely without gains, such as Fernandez, a rookie who was completely unafraid of Kobe Bryant, shooting 5-of-8 from the field and scoring 16 points efficiently.
