The collar was happy, but the collar wasn't the main purpose of tonight.

Soon, the ring presentation ceremony was over, and the Spurs were back on the bench for final preparations.

The first game of the new season has just finished receiving the ring, and if it loses at this time, then the Spurs will be embarrassed.

Therefore, this battle is not allowed to be defeated!

Even the starting lineup on the Nets' side looks very gorgeous!

The overall lineup of the Spurs side is no different from last year, and this year's reinforcement is to bring in Marco Belinelli at the beginning of the game to increase the thickness of the forward line (Belinelli can also play swingman), ensuring the possibility of rotating the lineup.

Originally, the Spurs wanted to bring Carter over, but first, Maddy's contract did not end, and he made an appointment with the Spurs for another year, and secondly, Carter himself still did not come to San Antonio after thinking about it a lot, probably because he felt embarrassed to come at this time, he entered the Grizzlies as in history.

In Carter's absence, the Spurs' uniform team had to scramble through the free market in order to ensure rotation, but fortunately they found Belinelli as an emergency member. (It may be different from real life, but that's how it is set in it)

Spurs starting center Whiteside, power forward Duncan, small forward Leonard, scoring guard Qin Yan, point guard Parker.

This start is exactly the same as last year's regular starter, and if you want to say the difference, it is that the three young people are more mature.

And on the Nets' side, their gorgeous five tigers will finally appear in front of the Spurs.

Center Lopez, power forward Garnett, small forward Pierce, scoring guard Joe Johnson, point guard Deron Williams.

"Ahh Looking at the lineups on both sides, Qin Yan's first reaction on the court was, yes, Duncan collided with Garnett again.

Garnett changed another number, and now he wears No. 2 with the Nets, and standing next to Duncan is quite a thing.

Moreover, Qin Yan's eyesight is also very poisonous now, he can feel that Garnett is already weaker than last season, and his own Uncle Deng is still in his last prime.

In such a comparison, there is no suspense in this big forward matchup, unless Duncan releases water, otherwise Garnett will definitely not be able to stop him.

The referee blows the whistle and jumps the ball on both sides!

Lopez is a standard floor flow center, and his bounce power is not to say that there is none, but he can basically ignore it in front of the jumping man Whiteside.

Whiteside got the ball in his hands with ease, and he was at least half a forearm ahead of Lopes to the ball, looking very relaxed and happy.

Parker controlled possession and gestured for the team to move slowly.

Duncan fell to the low post, Garnett followed him to the low post, and Duncan reached for the ball after a turn.

Parker was a little reluctant to resist Delon with one hand, and the little fat man's close defense made Parker a little unhappy, after all, there was a difference in weight, and Parker couldn't stand him a little.

With a quick hit to the ball, Parker finally got the ball out before he was forced to stop it by Tak Chubby.

Duncan leaned on Garnett on the inside to receive the pass, and he took the ball with both hands and raised it to his chest, his lower body still and his upper body trying to lean back.

Garnett worked hard behind Duncan, this can't be helped, Garnett has been a few kilograms behind Duncan in terms of weight, not to mention that Duncan is still at his peak now, Garnett is already a strong outsider.

But Garnett is not someone who will give up, although Duncan put a lot of pressure on him, but he still firmly held on and did not take a step back from Duncan.

"Yes, it's not bad." Duncan said in his heart that he originally thought that Garnett might not be able to hold on, but he didn't expect Garnett to be able to withstand it.

In fact, Garnett already feels that he is almost at the limit, and after coming to the Nets, he feels that his body is getting worse day by day, but he didn't expect that now he can't even stand his old opponent.

Duncan slammed his waist, and then leaned hard behind him, and he was ready to hit one for the first ball of the new season!

"Bang-"

Garnett lost his balance when he was leaned in this way, and his feet couldn't help but take two steps back to stand firm.

In fact, Duncan didn't expect to succeed once just now, but he didn't expect Garnett to block it just now, so Duncan was a little embarrassed after pressing into the inner line, and he was stunned for a while.

Garnett's old face flushed without a trace, and then he quickly pressed up and pressed against Duncan again.

Duncan was forced to stop the ball and then confronted Garnett with his basketball in the air with both hands in the air.

Garnett didn't dare to be careless now, waving his arms to block Duncan's view.

Uncle Duncan pressed one foot, turned his back to avoid Garnett's line of sight, and then scored the ball with a small hook shot.

Garnett watched as the ball flew over his head.

If he were ten years younger, no, five years younger, this kind of ball would be directly shot out by Garnett like playing volleyball.

But now, Garnett's defensive awareness and defensive experience are fine, but his body can't keep up, Duncan's ball he obviously wants to react, but his body movements don't keep up with his consciousness, and he is a few beats slower, which makes Garnett a little depressed.

"It's okay Kevin, just call back the next one." The little fat man came over to comfort Garnett, and then motioned for Garnett to serve the baseline ball.

Delon advanced with the ball, his weight was really a bug in the No. 1 position, Parker didn't dare to defend closely, and as soon as he stuck to it, his body swayed and even his center of gravity was unstable.

López came out to block and dismantle, his tall and sturdy figure became a very solid wall, Parker was blocked, and Delon broke through!

Qin Yan and Whiteside were pulled to the outside by Pierce and Joe Johnson to entangle, and they couldn't go back for a while, and the Spurs could only watch Whiteside and Duncan stop DeLong.

Whiteside stepped forward, judged the route of Delon's breakthrough in advance, and then stretched out one hand and raised the other high, giving people a feeling of covering the sky and the sun.

Uncle Mu's personal biography is really unusual, this is replaced by last year's Whiteside, it is estimated that he would have jumped up and prepared to block at this time.

Delon maintained a high-speed breakthrough, watching his Whiteside get closer and closer, but the opponent did not make any particularly big defensive moves, Delon immediately understood that he had met an expert.

This big man has improved a lot in one summer!

However, Delong is also a master, he suddenly lowered his center of gravity, his body suddenly stopped, and the hand that controlled the ball buckled hard behind him, and passed the ball directly behind him! I don't even have to look back to see what's going on behind you.

NoLookPass！

The ball that bounced off the ground was caught by a pair of big swarthy hands, and then a tall figure rushed out from behind Delon!

Garnett, this guy has been following behind Delon, and he came out at this time just to catch people off guard!

Duncan didn't have time to make defensive moves, so he could only raise his hands high to keep his body still.

If Garnett was young, he would definitely be a dunk now, but he is old after all, so this ball is just a simple layup.

But because Duncan just hit him just now, this ball has a very AnswerBall flavor!

"The Nets are pretty good."

That's what the Spurs crowd thinks.

"Spurs are still that dangerous."

That's what the Nets think.

The first goal at the beginning of the game, both sides are just temptations, and when the temptation is over, they are ready to move in earnest!
