Richard also looked at Mark Stein's pre-season predictions, and overall, he still agreed with Mark Stein's predictions.

For the new season, Richard also does not have much confidence, the team's run-in is average, and the progress of some young players is also average, which is not good news for the Warriors.

If Chaunsibilups can find his rhythm at the start of the season, and if Rasonestrovic can adapt to the offensive tactics of playing in the high post, then Richard still has a little confidence to make the playoffs.

But right now, the team can't play the tactics that Richard wants, and that's a bit bad.

It's Oct. 5, and the Warriors will kick off their first preseason game of the new season.

Before the start of the preseason, Richard still organized an intra-team match, and the offensive side was still an old problem, Chaunsibilups couldn't find a rhythm, and Rasonestrovic was simply abandoned by Richard.

But there is also a good side, the good side is that the Warriors' defense is slowly playing out, and the Warriors can see the Warriors playing an oppressive defense almost the whole game, which is not only satisfied with Mike Malone, but even Richard is very satisfied.

It even made Richard feel an impulse, and he even wanted to give up the offense directly and focus on building defense instead.

In the first preseason game, the Warriors' opponent was the Sacramento Kings next door, and the Warriors played a little badly in this game.

A 20-point defeat made Richard recognize the current situation of the Warriors, the offensive end is sparse, and the defensive end is significantly improved compared to last season, but in the face of the mature King, the mature Princeton, the Warriors are still a little insufficient.

This fiasco has made Richard recognize the current situation of the team, Chaunci Billups' problem needs to be solved as soon as possible, but it is Lasonestrovich's problem, Richard is not too anxious.

Because in the game against the Kings, Richard found that Chris Anderson's appearance would make the Warriors stronger, because Chris Anderson's physical fitness and excellent basket protection allowed him to help the Warriors play more pressing defense on the defensive end.

Richard decided to put Rasonestrovic on the bench for the time being, slowly allowing him to find his groove in the high post. And the problem of Chauncey Billups is imminent.

For the Warriors' fiasco against the Kings, the major media in North America did not pay much attention, after all, the Warriors are still a bad team in their impression, and losing to the Kings, one of the best in the West, is not something worth paying attention to, but the local media in San Francisco still paid attention to it.

Rusty Simmons, a reporter for the San Francisco Documentary, is still bullish on the Warriors, believing that the Warriors' fiasco is only due to poor run-in and has nothing to do with strength.

In Richard's opinion, if the Warriors can run in place, even if they still have to lose to the Kings, they will obviously not lose by 20 points.

As for Chauncey Billups' problem, Richard finally figured out a temporary solution before the second game of the preseason, and he gave Chaunci Billups free to play and no longer tied Chaunci Billups with the team's tactical requirements.

The Warriors' opponent in this game became the Portland Trail Blazers in Oregon to the north, but they still played at home, and the Warriors, who have been renamed Google Arena, still have nearly 70% attendance at home, but even so, Richard is still not very satisfied, because the ball market has not improved.

The Warriors' opponent in this game is the Trail Blazers, who were seventh in the West last season, and they even reached the Western Conference Finals last season, so it can be seen that the Trail Blazers are declining year after year.

Richard doesn't know how the Trail Blazers have become this season, he only knows that the Trail Blazers have changed coaches, and the new coach is Morris Cheeks, and this season is Morris Cheeks' first season in coaching, so Richard doesn't know much about Morris Cheeks' tactics.

In the first half, Richard also used half a season's coaching experience to bully Morris Cheeks a little, and the Warriors' performance in the first half finally made Richard feel a little satisfied.

After being free from Richard's various requirements, Chauncy Biloop finally found the ability to control the rhythm that he was best at, but Richard knew that what he wanted was not only Chauncey's ability to control the rhythm, so the current Chauncy Bilaps could not completely satisfy Richard.

In the cheers of the fans, the Warriors played very well in the first half of this game, although the offense still did not play the effect Richard wanted, but the defense has achieved absolute pressure.

In this game, Chris Anderson got the opportunity to start, and he played very well, contributing two blocks in the first half, which was a perfect completion of the task of protecting the basket.

Chris Anderson's performance has also attracted the attention of many expert reporters and coaches, and ESPN reporter J.A. Adander, who appeared on the sidelines of this game, couldn't help but sigh: "The Warriors have picked up a treasure, this white center's athleticism is too good, and his blocking ability seems to be innate!" It's just that the technology is still a little rough, not like a product of American basketball. ”

And the Warriors' defense in the first half also made Ardand feel that the preseason prediction made by ESPN may have underestimated the Warriors, but judging from the Warriors' performance in the first half, Armand believes that they have the ability to hit the top eight, and perhaps after the season, the Warriors will be ranked eighth in the West.

In the second half, Richard made a substitution, Rasonestrovic was sent on, and Chauncey Billups stayed on the court, and the Warriors began to experiment with their tactics again.

Rasonestrovic pulled down the high post and began to cover the strategy, but from his clumsy movements, it was obvious that he was not suitable for such a style of play, so the Warriors' offense seemed to be a little stagnant.

"This Slovenian centre-forward is quite a bit of a big player for Richard Kohan, but he doesn't play as well as Chris Anderson."

J.A. Adander touched his chin again and said.

Rasonestrovic was on the court, the Warriors' offense did not have the effect Richard wanted, Richard thought about it, or did not send Chris Anderson, the preseason was originally a game to help the team run in, Richard decided to let Rasonestrovic adapt more to the team's tactics.

However, this kind of thinking put the Warriors in crisis in the second half, the Trail Blazers were originally a team with playoff strength, although they were suppressed by the Warriors in the first half, but in the second half the Warriors offense was disorganized, and the Trail Blazers played back.

In the end, the Warriors actually lost again, but Richard didn't care, the preseason loss was nothing, he just wanted to see the team's progress in the preseason, at least in this game, Chauncey Billups' improvement was obvious.
