The two groups opened the battle, the Warriors against the Lakers, and the Green Army against 76 people. The two powerful finals teams fought at home, and the results were divided when the match failed to reach the end. Each of the four teams has a different number of new members to join, and the Celtics new aid are all veteran, relatively speaking, the integration is the most smooth. 76 people, Warriors and Lakers have different degrees of running-in marks, and it is not a good thing to expose the opener. Some problems will inevitably be solved in the subsequent long regular season. The situation of 76 people is more complicated. We will save a few games and write them again. Today, we will write about Warriors and Lakers first.

Warrior

The core team has been tested for a long time, and the opponent’s strength is limited. In terms of the specific competition content, Warriors don’t have much to observe, and now they are far from discussing the only lineup choice, how to do extreme rotation. In the opening battle, there is only one point for Warriors, that is, how Cole allocates time.

Cole said before the game that Curry’s time would not exceed 30 minutes, and the actual time was 32 minutes 48 seconds. The standard of nearly 3 minutes is not a small number. Moreover, it should not be that Cole pinched the watch accurately, because after the first half, Curry had already scored 17 and a half points. If it is calculated equally according to the upper and lower half times, the actual appearance time of Curry should be 35 minutes, but after the last section tuck stitch, Curry went down ahead of schedule.

If 30 minutes is indeed a plan, unless Cole counts for three punches in the second half-of course, this is possible-otherwise, no matter how it is calculated, the first half will be tough. What is more interesting is that Cole gave young people more time in the first half. In the second half, he was afraid that the game would not be stable, but he used a veteran for a longer time. In other words, only Curry’s time in the first half was “not planned”. The speculation about this arrangement is that Curry’s preseason is in general state, and the opening game is also cold. For Curry, it is necessary to find the feeling of shooting. For the audience of Chase Center, the first champion award night in this venue is just needed to have a look at Curry. So time was given a little more.

In a game, this is a trivial matter. But for Cole, how to make curry’s timetable must be one of the most important tasks in the regular season. Curry is 34 and a half years old, so it is a consensus to save him. Since Curry is the rare pure backcourt in the team, his time has decreased, it will also ease the overflowing situation of the warrior’s back-court rotation-Moody played only 5 minutes before the garbage time-but will also pay some record losses accordingly. In addition to the record cost of training young people, how to weigh the pros and cons between veteran health care, young people’s training and ensuring that the team is in a favorable playoff position requires Cole to make overall planning and be prepared.

Apart from Curry, the other core rotation time of Warriors is less than 30 minutes, Thomson is even less than 20 minutes, and green is less than 25 minutes. Two young and strong core rotations, Poole and Wikins, played 28 minutes and 29 minutes respectively, and the time was relatively full.

In terms of young people, Wiseman got the most 16 and a half points, cuminga 13 minutes, Moody’s only 7 minutes 35 seconds, if not garbage time, it seems that Cole did not plan to use Moody’s in the second half. Cole’s thinking is right. Moody’s football style is relatively mature and has basically been plug-and-play, with less practice and more flexible time. However, the team does not have much staff in the front court of the substitute. Even if it is just a rotation, the time of Wiseman and cuminga is guaranteed. This arrangement is also more reasonable to avoid overpracticing young people to roll over by playing more in the first half and more veteran in the second half (Diwen, Jia Green, Luni, etc. plus time).

In general, in addition to the unclear time of Curry, Cole’s time allocation plan in the opening battle was relatively clear, taking into account the cultivation of young people, the cultivation of veteran and the guarantee of winning. But can it be easy to meet a higher level opponent? There must be some games that let people argue about “why Cole doesn’t go to Curry” or “Why didn’t Cole take Cuming down”. That is not necessarily a problem for Cole to deal with on the spot, it is the repeated trade-offs between the immediate and long-term interests, which is the problem that this warrior continues to exist.

Lakers

Generally speaking, the worst case of the defensive perception on the basketball court is that it is short cut by the opponent, because the empty cut has a strong sense of leakage, as if the team’s defensive enthusiasm is not online. Because Warriors are the most good team in the league, it also results in losing to Warriors, which often leaves people a bad sense of defense.

So the Lakers’ actual defense is better than it looks. In this game, the attack efficiency of the Warriors was 107, and that of the Lakers was 97.3. There was certainly room for improvement for the Warriors’s three points, and the middle distance jump shot was also counted as a supplement. In other words, the Lakers were mainly unable to attack. As a result, the game was closer to defensive warfare. They did at least two things:

The compliance rate is not low. In fact, the Lakers interfered with most of the Warriors’s attack baskets. Some over-the-sky baskets, such as Tang Shenwu’s cover for Lu NI to pass down, chasing dreams low, shorting di winqinzuo, and Poole’s friendship hitting the ground for chasing dreams, there are only a few in this game. The situation where the Lakers were punched through the basket was more about the gap in ability. For example, Curry forced to cut into the ending method too violently, and Reeves and Walker couldn’t stop it. This was not a failure, but it really couldn’t. In fact, the Lakers-especially the heavy eyebrows-gave the Warriors a lot of interference under the basket. The Warriors hit 55.2 percent of the Nets in the whole game, which was lower than their expected level;

There are some mistakes based on enthusiasm. In the whole game, the Warriors made 18 mistakes. Some of them were the casual results of the Warriors. There were also the responses of the Lakers to the prediction of the course. Beverly played less than 25 minutes and broke 2 caps, heavy eyebrow 4 steals. Although not every player in the Lakers has shown enough enthusiasm for defense, these players who should make outstanding contributions to defense do have bright spots. Using some successful defense and express baseline ball, the Lakers also played some fast attacks, which are all the game content they want to pursue.

In other words, what the Lakers want to take out is basically taken out. It’s just the power gap.

What’s the problem with the Lakers?

It is difficult to change the hard injury of attack. Although the Lakers won’t be 10 out of 40 points per game, their overall projection ability is there, unless Matt Lane and SVID, who are weak defenders, are fully occupied, otherwise, it will be almost 82 episodes of series to continue to be contracted and tested. This is an impossible thing. The idea of the Lakers to build a lineup leave allowances this year is to keep no defensive shooters, improve their athletic ability and retrieve their former team defense. In the case that space and exercise ability cannot be both, some natural disadvantages must be accepted.

However, since the defense is to be full, then the guards cannot play too much. The part of the Lakers’ defense that was really blown up was the inability to interfere with jump shots. Thompson’s cover was dry, wikins’ Yan shot was dry, and Poole’s gear was broken. The Lakers guard couldn’t reach it. Even Curry showed a low turn-over jump shot, and some basketball balls also played a physical advantage. This kind of ball can’t be prevented. It depends on what Hamm thinks:

One way is to accept it. It is believed that there are a few teams with strong jump shots in the back court like warriors. After all, the Lakers are not the only team that can’t prevent warrior jump shots. As long as the Lakers can hold the basket, they can defend against some teams that are not good at jump shots, and the defensive efficiency has the bottom line;

Another way is to increase forward time. The Lakers have several fronts with good athletic ability and body shape, among which Brown is still injured, Anderson and Gabriel can play, but they only got 14 minutes and less than 8 minutes respectively, the positioning of the latter will be closer to the inside line, while the real inside line Jones did not get the time (not heard of injury).

There are indeed too many defenders for the Lakers. When Schroder comes back, the embarrassment of the 1-3 and even the 4th positions will be more serious. For a team determined to make a fuss on the defensive end, putting a bunch of defenders without projection on it is about the lowest cost-effective wear and match, and the attack and defense cannot be full, which is equivalent to assembling shorts in the West. However, from the perspective of comprehensive ability and coffee position, the Lakers defenders are indeed stronger than the basic salary strikers in their hands. No matter Ham or the outside world, no one can guarantee that these defenders will be effective if they are used less. Moreover, for the new coach, interpersonal relationship handling is also very important-everyone has seen what picture we have when we take weishao to the bench. Ham’s starting lineup-Wei Shao, Walker, Beverly, James and heavy eyebrows-is actually the five people with the highest salary in the team. This may be just a coincidence, or there may be a implication:

When I first arrived, it was hard to make a big decision, and someone came up with emotion. Then we can only let the salary speak, and no one has any opinions. Your management didn’t come up with a solution. The coach said that you could only be a person first and then do things later.

After a long wait, the NBA regular season finally officially opened. On the first day, the two matches were Philadelphia vs Celtic and Lakers vs Warriors. Two wonderful confrontations full of grudges and enmity are bound to ignite the restless hearts of all fans. After waiting for a long time, I finally waited until today. Let’s cheer for the team I support!
