The first official power list of the NBA was announced, and the Clippers ranked first in the preseason with only 2 wins and 5 losses, and no expert dared to underestimate them, for fear of being slapped in the face during the regular season.

Since Yang Rui arrived in Los Angeles, the outcome of some games has become very predictable. Guess Yang Rui's team is right to win, there are basically no upsets.

The Cavaliers are in second place, and the addition of Ray Allen is key.

The third-ranked Nets were also in Ray Allen's scouting range, but after the Nets traded for Joe Johnson, Ray Allen gave up, and the two overlapped positions.

In fourth place is the Lakers, at least they have a strong roster, and they played well in the preseason, 6-1. The most likely competitor in the West to compete with the Clippers is, and experts agree that it is the Lakers.

There are not many fans who are optimistic about the Lakers on the Internet, and the stars have changed one after another, but the record has been declining. In addition to Kobe's data is still beautiful, there is no comparison with Yang Rui when he is there.

The Spurs are fifth, the Pacers are sixth, and neither team has a big name in the summer, and the Spurs role players have improved, leaving Scola, signing Boris Dior and also signing swingman veteran Stephen Jackson.

The Thunder were only seventh because James Harden still left.

The Thunder made a six-man deal with the Rockets, with the Thunder sending Harden, Cole Aldridge, Lazar Hayward and DaQuan Cook to the Rockets in exchange for Kevin Martin, rookie Jeremy Lamb and two first-round and one second-round picks.

The Thunder also had bad news, taking on the Clippers on the road in their opener.

Thunder fans are generally pessimistic, believing that this is a nightmare start, and if the first game is abused by the Clippers, it will affect the team's morale very much, and they were almost crushed last season, even if Durant is the scoring champion, it can't change that.

On the 30th, many TV stations broadcast the opening match live.

Before the game, the Clippers' championship ring presentation ceremony set off a small G tide, which was the first championship won by the Clippers since the establishment of the team, which was of great significance and the scene was particularly grand.

Before the game even started, the morale of the Clippers was staggering, with all the players full of power and the Thunder players under pressure. They all know that this is the team that will defend the title against the best team in the NBA.

"The Clippers generally look relaxed, the Thunder are the opposite, everybody looks like Perkins, and if they take off their jerseys and put on their capes and red pants, it will be more morale-boosting," Barkley said. ”

Smith laughed, "This is not Sparta!" ”

Curry hit a three-pointer in the warm-up and felt hot, but he still had to sit on the sidelines and wait for the opportunity to play off the bench.

Clippers starters: Paul, Danny Green, Gay, Griffin, Chandler.

Thunder starters: Westbrook, Sefrosa, Durant, Ibaka, Perkins.

Chandler jumped the ball and the game began.

Chandler felt that his life was complete after winning the gold medal at the Olympics, and he not only won the NBA championship, but also won the World Championship and the Olympic Games, and his personal honor was also the best defensive player. Chandler was excited, didn't play in the preseason, and his desire to perform was even stronger.

Paul dribbled to the three-point line, and Chandler covered Westbrook.

Paul burst to the left, Ibaka changed the defense, Chandler took advantage of the situation and cut into the air, Paul passed the ball to the middle in time, Chandler squeezed away Westbrook and cut the ball in the air.

Perkins retreated to the basket to block Chandler's way, and instead of passing to Griffin on the right baseline, Chandler leaned his back against Perkins and turned to the left side to shoot.

His footwork was smooth, and he showed one of his few offensive skills without pressure, and Perkins suffered from his size, and he could only interfere as much as he could, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

As soon as Perkins breathed a sigh of relief, he turned his head to see Griffin cut in, jumped high, and directly grabbed the rebound in the front court and dunked it into the frame with both hands. 2 to 0.

The hapless Perkins became a backdrop because he was standing under the basket, and Griffin threw his legs on top of him, looking a bit like he was dunked.

CCTV5 Zhang Reasonably: "Many people were worried that Griffin's knee injury would affect his bounce power in the summer, and now I can rest assured that he is still the violent power forward." ”

Yu Jia said: "The Thunder's two interior defenses are excellent, but the offense is not very good, and if they want to win today, it depends on whether they can break through the Clippers' defense." ”

Westbrook dribbled to the front court and waited for his teammates to pull away, without looking for cover, and directly heads-up. He changed his desire to break through on the right side, met Paul with a one-step pull-up jumper, and interfered with the ball and bounced out of the frame.

Yang Rui said to Kerr on the sidelines: "If the Thunder keep attacking like this, then today is interesting." ”

Cole nodded. "Westbrook's personality is hard to change, I think he's just going to play like that."

Is Westbrook too alone a weakness?

No, his weakness is too iron! If you look at the Thunder game, you will find that Wei Shao passes a lot, but the shooting percentage is not high. Especially in the playoffs, Wei Shao's shooting rate can't even reach 45%. Stars should be held responsible, provided that you can score, and if you don't, it's a cancer.

In terms of helping the team win, Westbrook is not as good as Paul.

So far this season, the two have played a total of 14 games, and Paul has a 10-4 record.

In terms of statistics, Paul averaged 19.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 10.3 assists, 3 steals and 2.4 turnovers, shooting 48.7% from the field.

Westbrook's stats were 18.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 1.7 steals and 3.9 turnovers while shooting 40.8 percent from the field.

As for the three-point shooting, there is no need to compare, Wei Shao's career three-point shooting rate is 30%, and even Kobe Bryant is not as good.

In the face of his nemesis, Wei Shao chose to move forward strongly, which was caused by his character, and he was also a paranoid person.

Griffin grabbed the rebound, Paul slowly moved to the frontcourt, and played with Chandler in the middle, this time on the right side. The Thunder's defense was man-to-man, Ibaka switched defenses very quickly, Paul the ball was distributed to the middle, and Chandler cut to get the ball.

Visconsin chose to chase Paul, Ibaka was a little slower to retreat, and this time Perkins went to the basket to make up for it, forming a local pinch, and Chandler passed the ball to Griffin in the bottom corner.

Ibaka rushed out to interfere with the shot, a step too slow, Griffin made a three-point jumper, the head was not good, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Chandler saw the opportunity to leap forward and flicked the ball out of the box with one hand, and Perkins got stuck in position and couldn't get the rebound. Green on the left cut in time, picked up the rebound in the frontcourt, landed and hugged the basketball, and gave it to Paul, who received it on the perimeter, and organized it for the second time.

Paul gestured for players to switch positions, Chandler settled in the low post to draw defenders, Griffin went to cover in the middle, and Green ran to the bottom right corner.

Paul got rid of Westbrook and took it to the right side by blocking and pick-and-roll, and suddenly accelerated and changed direction to pass Perkins three steps, and Perkins was half a body behind and couldn't block.

Serge Ibaka has a good sense of help and retreats to the basket to make up for it. Paul jumped to the basket, didn't go to the basket, and dropped in the air to pass the ball from Ibaka's armpit to the other side. Chandler catches the ball and jumps up and scores with both hands! 4 to 0.

The Clippers players quickly returned to defense, mixed defense, and Paul followed Westbrook on the perimeter.

Ibakla went out to cover, Griffin switched quickly, kept his distance and interfered, and Paul chased from behind. Westbrook opted to force Griffin, Europe stepped to the basket, and Chandler added to the defense.

Wei Shao still didn't pass, he knew that Perkins couldn't catch the ball from the bottom line and shoot in the middle of the shot, picked up the basket in the gap, dodged Chandler's block, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Unfortunately, Perkins was not as fast as Griffin, did not receive the assist, the ball did not bounce in his direction, the rebound was grabbed by Griffin, Paul received the ball to stabilize the rhythm, and the Clippers fell ground again.
