Vol 3 Chapter 655: A new journey is about to begin

"Super Heavy Gun ( to find the latest chapter!
At 8 pm on October 19th, the last preseason game of the NBA 2019-20 season ended at the Chase Center Arena in San Francisco.
Although the Splash Brothers have played very well, the Warriors at home still lost to the Los Angeles Lakers 104:115. As in the previous game, Davis, McGee and Howard took turns to play, and the Warriors' weak inside line was completely blown by the Lakers.
No one knows how much Kerr used, but it is obvious that after Durant and Iguodala left, the Warriors' defense dropped by a big margin. Especially when Russell and Splash Brothers played at the same time, the Warriors' defense did not significantly restrict the Lakers. Not to mention James, even Kuzma, Cook, Bradley and other guys can easily break through their defense. The roles of Curry and Russell on the court almost overlap. Instead of playing an active role, they hinder each other's performance.
In fact, after the Warriors reached a deal with the Nets, some people believed that the Warriors didn't want to keep Russell in the team. They wanted to use Russell to trade an All-Star third player. After all, they already have a Curry and don't need a number one player. Although Thompson had an injury at the time, it did not affect his appearance in the new season. However, with the end of the offseason and the closure of the free market, the Warriors never made any concrete actions. No one knows what the Warriors are playing, but it seems that Russell has become a difficult point in the Warriors lineup. It feels a bit tasteless, Russell is good at strength. When he leads the team alone, he can perform brilliantly in the game. However, no All-Star player went back to accept the role of a substitute.
The Warriors are not the only team with problems, and those teams with championship strength, including the Thunder, have more or less problems. This is a very normal thing. After all, these teams have experienced personnel changes, and the team's running-in cannot be completed in a day or two. However, there is not enough time for everyone. The new season is about to begin, and the intensity of the regular season will increase by several levels, but it will depend on who can adapt to the rhythm of the game more quickly.
The Thunder's last preseason game ended two days ago. They beat the Memphis Grizzlies 129:105 at the Chesapeake Energy Arena and won the preseason five-game winning streak. Although this is a preseason game, Oklahoma fans are still very excited. They used to worry about their team. After all, Paul George was an indispensable part of the Thunder's two consecutive championships. When he left, the fans were very angry and very disappointed.
But from these games, it seems that the current lineup is pretty good. An Luo's performance is naturally needless to say, after the baptism of the World Cup, he became stronger. While the offensive methods are more abundant, the organization ability also catches up with Westbrook. This made Adams and Noelle's life better. Especially the latter, in the new season may become the next "cake king".
In addition to An Luo, the performance of the teenagers Alexander and Gallinari also made everyone full of praise. The latter is of course a normal play. What he needs to do is very simple. When Anlo attracts the opponent's defensive attention on the offensive end, he only needs to shoot the ball he passes into the basket. Of course, Gallinari's ability to hold the ball and break through is also very good. Except for a slight difficulty on the defensive end, he is definitely a very qualified championship-level starting third player.
As for Alexander, it was really a surprise. Five preseason games, five starts. Except for the accident that Donovan made him play the first position in the first game, the remaining four games all appeared on the second position. This adjustment can be regarded as completely liberating Alexander and An Luo. The former is a fish in the water at the second position, throws in and out, scoring efficiency is very high. The latter has the advantage in the first position, with a height of nearly two meters and an excellent wingspan, whether it is shooting, passing or defending, they do better. Even Westbrook couldn't help but joked: "Perhaps, I should announce my retirement. I feel that this Thunder doesn't need me anymore."
To speak of the problem, the Thunder's defense has indeed dropped a lot. Robertson had returned from injury, but Donovan didn't think about how to use him. Put it on the starting lineup, the offensive end is too slow; put it on the bench lineup, and wasted his excellent defensive ability. But in any case, the Thunder need Robertson's defense, he has always been an indispensable member of the team. The depth of the bench lineup has not been greatly enhanced. Compared with last season, there is one less offensive and defensive Kanter, and one more potential Alexander. The others have not changed ~EbookFREE.me~ so there is no good or bad.
On October 23, 2019, the new NBA season officially kicked off.
As last season's championship team, the Thunder, like last year, are waiting for the new season on their home court. However, before the start of the game, there will be a link to be carried out that the other 29 teams envy.
Grand championship ring award ceremony.
For most of the Thunder players, this is not the first time. Therefore, everyone is far less excited than last year. An Luo is the same, winning the championship is not something beyond expectation for him.
However, when the flag representing the championship of the 2018-19 season was slowly raised at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, An Luo was still deeply moved. An Luo felt that he was so lucky! Able to win the championship at the beginning of his career, and there are still two. Throughout the decades of NBA history, there are not many teams that can win two championships, and the Thunder have successfully made it among them. In every era, there are some superstars who shine through and never win the championship. Some people gave up their dignity as superstars at the last moment, but they still left with regret.
But this is not enough!
An Luo never thought that he would lose hope of winning. No matter where he is, he is trying to make himself the ultimate winner, and he can always do it. High school league, NCAA, NBA, Asian Cup, World Cup, every seemingly impossible, finally became possible. Now, the new season is about to begin, and the Thunder received last season's championship ring at their home court. This is a good start, and An Luo hopes that they can still stand on the final podium this season.
The new journey is about to begin. Two consecutive championships are far from satisfying An Luo's appetite!
