However, neither team seems to care too much about this game, most of the game is played by substitutes, and unlike the Warriors, although the two teams played in the finals, but because of Tang Shuai's absence, this game was not as intense as imagined.

117-115, relying on the team's new recruit Yi Jianlian's mid-range jumper at the last moment, the Lakers successfully defeated the Cavaliers and won their seven-game winning streak in the preseason, ending perfectly.

Yi Jianlian played 32 minutes in this game, and he contributed 16 points efficiently on 5-of-11 shooting, including a last-minute shot.

After this game, his starting position was truly determined.

When the dust settles down, look back, this is somewhat full of drama, at the beginning Yi Jianlian's agent Fagan tried every possible way to seek starting status for him, and even made a reluctance to go to Milwaukee, even if he changed teams later, this idea did not change, and was finally abandoned by the league, and now he is back in the league, relying on his own efforts to win the starter, and it is also a championship team like the Lakers, which has to be said to be thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.

After the preseason, on October 30, US time, in the expectation of various teams, the 2017~2018 season finally kicked off, and 30 teams launched a new impact towards the O'Brien Cup in the new season.

A seven-game winning streak in the preseason has the Lakers looking forward to the new season, but at the start of the season, they have one of their biggest challenges.

Their opener opponent was the arch-rival Warriors.

The suspension of players is counted from the beginning of the regular season, and the most positive news of this game is naturally Draymond's ban.

F4 is missing an inside point, which is definitely a good opportunity for the Lakers to win.

But even so, the Lakers don't dare to take it lightly, because Curry, who was absent in the preseason, will play this game, and Durant's strength, no matter what point of view, is stronger than Green.

And although Green was suspended, his mouth was not idle, and before the game, he tweeted that he would watch the game live at the Los Angeles Football Stadium, hoping that his brothers could bring a big victory.

The Staples Center on this day is also particularly lively, because it is the season opener, and the opponent is the old rival Warriors, coupled with the grievances of the preseason, this game can be described as full of highlights, some fans who did not buy tickets came to the sidelines early in front of the LED screen to occupy a position, as for those who bought tickets, they also came to the arena in advance, and they were ready to wait to see this battle of the century.

Although the preseason has won seven in a row, Billups knows that the regular season and the preseason are two completely different games, and this **** took the players to the arena two hours early to practice.

Before the game started, the arrival of Tang Shuai and Westbrook caused a commotion among the spectators who arrived in advance, and when the two started training, they took out their mobile phones and kept taking pictures, and the scene was particularly lively.

There are even many spectators who can't wait to hold up slogans such as "The champion is ours" and "Our only goal is the championship".

Such a scene was not uncommon in the past when the Lakers were strong, and now it is reappearing, which shows that the team's performance has been fully recognized by the fans.

The Warriors arrived late, and all but Green, who couldn't show up at the stadium due to a suspension, arrived.

Curry and Thompson talked and laughed during pregame practice, and Green's absence didn't seem to have much of an impact on them.

In the last three minutes before the game, the starting lineups on both sides appeared on the big LED screen on the scene.

The Lakers' side is exactly the same as the preseason lineup, and Yi Jianlian and the pre-game prediction appeared at the team's starting power forward position.

For the Warriors, after Green's absence, Kerr put Durant at the starting power forward position, and Iguodala appeared at the starting small forward position.

Including Bogut, this lineup is not bad at all compared to the lineup in last year's Western Conference Finals.

"Hey bros, the season has begun, now it's time to get your full hands out." Before the game began, Westbrook shouted to the players.

"Guys, with all our energy, like last year's playoffs, it's time to get to work." Tang Shuai also said.

"For victory!" The players shouted, and then the starting five tigers walked towards the field.

By the time both starters stood in the middle of the field, Knoll and Bogut were ready to start jumping, and the fans couldn't help but get agitated.

Bogut was much more experienced than Noll, and to the cheers of the fans, he flicked the ball back to the Warriors' half, and the Warriors had the opportunity to attack first.

As soon as Curry came up with the ball, Thompson and Durant fell to the front court, and then ran in the opposite direction.

The Lakers' defense was in hot pursuit and didn't give the two a chance to catch the ball easily.

However, at this time, I have to say that Durant has the advantage of playing the No. 4 position, he ran out, Yi Jianlian was forced to go out, and the inside line was weak.

Curry saw the opportunity, beckoned Bogut to a block, and Noll, who was pushing forward with his feet, stepped back again and again, and waited for a close-range throw directly under the basket.

Knoll started to block, but he was too fast to make a splash.

With a "swish", Curry hit a throw and scored the first point of the regular season for the Warriors.

The Lakers' offense, Tang Shuai organized at the top of the arc, Westbrook ran the position, he saw the opportunity to pass, and the latter directly squeezed Durant to prepare for a layup.

However, at the moment of the shot, Bogut on the inside pounced and successfully interfered with him with his start.

His final shot went wide of the basket.

That's the change Bogut brought to the Warriors, and Green's absence gave him plenty of room to play.

Thompson rushed inside to grab a defensive rebound, the Warriors took advantage of the situation to launch a fast break, and Curry gave Durant a lay-up from the line, who took a knife directly from beyond the three-point line.

5 to 0!

The Warriors took the Lakers off guard as soon as they started.

"Defend! Keep up with your own defenders! Xiao came to the sidelines at this time and reminded the players loudly.

Tang Shuai went to the front court to press the rhythm and then handed over to Westbrook.

After Westbrook signaled his teammates to leave, he chose to force Thompson, this time he rushed more thoroughly and deeper, but when he got to the basket, he was caught by Bogut and Durant, and the shot slid out of the basket again.

The rebound was snatched by Bogut, and the Warriors were ready to launch a fast break, but this time Batum was quick and fouled on his own to interrupt their fast break.

"Russell is in such a hurry, and the Warriors are the best at playing this kind of quick counterattack." Although the fast break was stopped, the commentator Chris Webb couldn't help but say.

"But that's his style of play, it's a double-edged sword." Home commentator Mike Smith spoke.

On the offense of the Warriors, Curry held the ball on the outside, beckoned Bogut to give Durant an off-ball block, and when the tactics were in place, he gave the ball an early amount.

"Smack!"

Just as he was passing, Westbrook rushed out of the diagonal side, stealing his pass, and then the whole person lowered his center of gravity, like a cheetah accelerating with all his might, and rushed to the front court in the blink of an eye.

The atmosphere of the scene was ignited at once.

Tang Shuai turned around and slapped him in the face.

Despite the fact that the first two rounds were a little bit worse, he still has a lot of trust in Westbrook as a teammate.

The Warriors' offense, Durant and Thompson made a no-ball block, and after receiving the ball, they faced Westbrook, who was assisting in the defense, and took a cross step, followed by the trend, and directly leaned back to shoot by hitting twice.

A series of movements did not hesitate, and the shot from the back was also a steady hit.

7-2, the Warriors' offensive success rate in the opening game was quite high.

Perhaps in response to the Westbrook dunk just now, Durant turned around and gave Curry a high-five, showing a ruthless face.

Westbrook saw this scene and unconsciously pressed his fist.

The Lakers' offense, Tang Shuai organized and then handed it to Westbrook, who then rushed inside.

When Webb saw this, he couldn't help but shake his head, and just wanted to speak.

At this moment, a scene that he didn't expect happened.

After Westbrook rushed to the inside, he did not go straight to the hard line like the previous two rounds, but after attracting the bag, a quick ball was given to Tang Shuai on the outside.

Tang Shuai had been prepared for a long time, and without giving the Warriors any time to react, he shot three points directly.

"Huh!"

The open three-pointer hit without any suspense.

The scene burst into cheers.

"Unbelievable, I suddenly felt like Russell did that on purpose in the first two rounds." Webb's words suddenly changed.

In fact, Webber's words are right in the heart, this is indeed Billups's pre-game arrangement, Tang Shuai, Westbrook, both of them have a strong impact on the inside, no matter who starts, they need one person to impact the inside line and compress the defense, this time the choice is to start with Westbrook.

Tang Shuai's three-point shot, the Lakers chased the score to 5-7 at once.

The Warriors attacked again, and Durant played with his back to contain the defense and distributed the ball to Thompson on the outside, who shot a three-pointer.

The trajectory of the ball was positive, but the force was too high, and it hit the edge of the basket and popped up.

There was a scramble under the basket, and Yi Jianlian continued to scramble to win defensive rebounds.

The Lakers advance to the frontcourt.

Kerr shouted from the sidelines, and the Warriors' defensive center of gravity was clearly leaning on Westbrook's side.

The Lakers seem to be very upright, still handing it over to Westbrook to attack from the right wing and charge inside.

However, just when the Warriors contracted their defense, he quickly distributed the ball to Batum at the top of the arc, and Batum handed it over to Tang Shuai on the left side.

Tang Shuai didn't stop receiving the ball for a second, launched an attack from the left side, took a quick step to the left with Yi Jianlian's blocking, and then Thompson, who was co-defending, stumbled at his feet, followed by a quick stop.
