On November 1, the Warriors made their home debut of the new season, against the Phoenix Suns, who were sixth in the West last season and lost to the Nuggets in their first game of the season, which made things a little bad for the Suns.

The Nuggets have been playing rotten in the past two seasons, and they have a rotten weapon like Van Exel, maybe even they didn't think they could win against the Suns, and of course the Suns certainly didn't expect that they would lose to the Nuggets, who have almost booked the bottom of the West.

However, the Suns themselves will think this is just a surprise, as their head coach is Scott Skels, a defensive maestro who won over 60% of the first two seasons of his coaching career, and because they have star players like Stephen Marbury, Sean Marion and Anfernee Hardaway.

However, some people feel that this is not an accident, such as the Suns' old rival Spurs, who have been paying attention to the Suns' situation.

On November 1, the Spurs have a game against the SuperSonics, but the Spurs, who have grown into Western behemoths in recent years, no longer take such opponents as the SuperSonics seriously.

At the beginning of the game between the Warriors and the Suns, some Spurs coaches began to pay attention to the game on the Oakland side.

Mike Budenholzer was sitting next to Greg Popovich, and a radio in his hand had been broadcasting the game between the Warriors and the Suns, and he raised the radio in his hand towards Greg Popovich, and then said, "Greg, the game between the Warriors and the Suns has begun, who do you think will win?" ”

"Warriors." Greg Popovich has always cherished his words, and the same is true for his colleagues.

"Why?" Mike Budenholzer smiled and raised his doubts, obviously he must have known the reason with this expression, but he wanted to hear Popovich tell the reason.

"Trading Jason Kidd for Stephen Marbury is their biggest failure, whether it is defensive or offensive, Scott Skels's team has to regress significantly, because they don't have a point guard like Jason Kidd who can organize and defend, Stephen Marbury will only attack on his own, and it is also an instability factor in the locker room." Greg Popovich finally spoke more, and Mike Budenholzer laughed too.

He also said with emotion: "Yes, this season, we have one less strong opponent!" ”

However, Greg Popovich frowned: "No, we have a stronger opponent. ”

Mike Budenholzer was stunned: "Who? It can't be a warrior, right? Although they beat the Trail Blazers in their first game, they didn't get to that point, right? ”

Greg Popovich shook his head: "Their tactics make me feel bad. ”

"Tactics? I watched their first game, and although they have the verve of European basketball, they don't have an inside, so don't worry? Mike Budenholzer also frowned, he was very puzzled.

"Mike, it's just that you don't pay attention to the details, the charm of European tactics is to create space with passing, to shoot with space, to avoid confrontation. And now the warriors have almost done this, which is already terrifying. Greg Popovich again spoke more, and he continued.

"And, one thing you didn't notice, they have a backup center, it's called Lasonestrovic, he's a Slovenian, a European center, and when this Slovenian comes on, the Warriors' offense will be sluggish, and this is because they're training tactics with the help of actual combat, so ......"

Greg Popovich didn't say any more, but Mike Budenholzer was already serious, he already understood what Greg Popovich meant, the Warriors' offensive tactics may not have reached the most perfect point, so the current Warriors are still not the strongest Warriors!

The verve of European tactics is to create space with the ball, and use the space to shoot and avoid confrontation. And internally, it is to form a complete system, and the current warriors do not have a complete system, but if Lasonestrovich really has to complete the run-in, it is estimated that it will not be far from forming a complete system.

The game between the Spurs and the SuperSonics began, but in the face of an opponent like the SuperSonics, the Spurs seemed to be at ease, so Mike Budenholzer also had time to pay attention to the situation on the Warriors and the Suns.

The game between the Warriors and the Suns started early, so by the time the Spurs gradually established their advantage, the game between the Warriors and the Suns was already halfway through.

As Greg Popovich predicted, the Warriors took the initiative from the start, and Richard still chose the same starting lineup as the previous game, and then relied on a more dynamic style of play to suppress the Suns from the start.

In the end, a 15-point lead was established at halftime, and then Mike Budenholzer sighed: "The Suns are really a little bad, Stephen Marbury made them lose their tactics." ”

Mike Budenholzer didn't say anything like the Warriors are strong, because Mike Budenholzer believes that the current Warriors are not at the point where the Spurs take it seriously, unless, as Greg Popovich said, the Warriors really have a backhand.

Then at that time, maybe the Warriors can get the attention of the Spurs.

The Spurs game against the SuperSonics is over soon, the two teams are no longer on the same level, as long as the Spurs are a little serious, the SuperSonics will not have much of a chance.

The game between the Warriors and the Suns ended early, and the final result was a narrow victory for the Warriors, and the final winning score was only 109:100, winning by only 9 points.

The Warriors' performance in this game was not as explosive as the previous game, and the outstanding players were Chauncey Billups, Jerry Stark House, and Antoine Jamison.

Chauncey Billups had 15 points and eight assists, Jerry Starkerhouse was the leading scorer of the game, he had 29 points, plus four rebounds, three assists and two steals, and Antoine Jamison, who had 23 points and 11 rebounds, was also very impressive.

As for Gilbert Arenas, who went berserk in the last game, this game has a little rookie appearance, 12 points and 3 assists in 18 minutes on the court, the data is still very good, but the efficiency is a bit low, only 4 of 10 shots, and finally relied on free throws to score 12 points.

However, even this kind of play is still far better than other rookies, such as the Wizards who selected Kwame Brown, the start of the same two games, Kwame Brown got 2 points and 3 rebounds in one game, and the other game simply didn't even play time!

There are also Tyson Chandler and No. 4 pick Eddie Curry, the two only played one game, Tyson Chandler missed all 2 shots and only scored 1 point from the free throw, and Eddie Curry, who scored 2 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists on 1 of 6 shots, which is far from Gilbert Arenas.

And Jamar Tinsley, who was hailed as the best point guard of the year before the draft, had 4 points and 8 assists in his debut, but only shot 2 of 5, which was quite inefficient. Although he also had 12 points and 13 assists in this game, his shooting percentage was less than 4 percent and he was still inefficient.

Gilbert Arenas was much more efficient, and if Richard hadn't given him a chance, maybe the stats would have been a little more impressive.
