After defeating the defending champion Lakers, the Warriors players felt proud and proud, slapping experts and celebrities in the face who were not optimistic about them before, which was very relieved.
The outside media also took advantage of the situation and reported positive news about the Warriors to create heat.
The Warriors did not take these compliments to heart. It is not important to them. What is important is that some problems were discovered in the opening game.
In order to solve the problem, the Warriors coaching staff worked overtime overnight to discuss.
"With the addition of Tyson and Tony, as well as Steve's defensive philosophy, we played phenomenal defense tonight, which is very good and deserves recognition."
Although Nelson is not good at defense, he does not resist defense.
After seeing what the Suns have experienced in recent years, his views have changed and he knows that offense cannot win the championship.
Therefore, Nelson strongly supports his assistant coaches in developing defensive tactics.
This is also the reason why Chandler, Tony Allen and others were introduced in the offseason.
If the Warriors want to continue to play pure run-and-gun tactics, they will spare no effort to trade Stoudemire.
After praising the achievements of the coaching staff, Nelson continued: "Although the team's strength is improving in an orderly manner, there are also some problems. Steve, tell me."
After Steve Kerr was named, he went directly to the topic and stated the problems he discovered.
"First of all, our tactical cooperation still lacks tacit understanding. We often made mistakes during the game and need to improve in the next game."
The Warriors have made a lot of exchanges in the offseason, and it will definitely take time for the old to lead the new to create a tacit understanding.
"Secondly, I found that the defense of the starting back line is still too weak. Stephen and Monta need to be staggered on the court. The effect may be better."
Although Curry and Ellis actively defended, they were easily targeted by their opponents due to their physical conditions.
"Finally, I think the core training plan formulated by the previous coaching staff needs to be slowed down, otherwise it will cause unnecessary internal conflicts."
After listening to Cole's analysis, other coaches nodded in agreement.
But this is not something that can be solved overnight, it needs to be figured out slowly.
After listening, Nelson said: "Thank you, Steve, for your very detailed analysis and found one of the biggest problems we need to solve in the new season. We have to find a balanced approach in subsequent games.
Although it was difficult, we were aware of the problem and had enough time to make adjustments later. "
After analyzing the problem, start solving it.
The Warriors coaching staff discussed and solved some small problems first. As for the big problems, they can only be solved step by step with time.
After the coaching staff set the tone for the new season, the Warriors continued their journey into the new season.
…
…
On November 2, the Warriors will usher in the second game of the new season. They will go to Sacramento to challenge the Kings.
The Kings made no achievements in the free market during the offseason, and the team failed to strengthen.
Their goal in the new season is to continue to develop Evans and this year's fifth pick Derrick Favors. As long as they perform well, the Kings will naturally rise completely.
"God's Coming"
After the game started, Evans, who was highly praised by the league in the new season, was full of confidence and wanted to lead the team to an upset victory by himself and create big news.
But the game process was completely different from what he imagined.
At the beginning of the game, Evans was targeted by the Warriors' defense. Sun Yi, Tony Allen and others took turns to death, beating this potential star until he lost his temper.
After Evans was completely restricted, the Kings were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, with no power to resist at all.
In this way, amid the Warriors' wild bombardment, the Kings were quickly defeated. After all, the difference in strength between the two teams was too big.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Kings 122-94 and won two consecutive games.
Sun Yi once again won the honor of the best player of the game.
In the 30 minutes he played, he scored 28 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
After the game, Sun Yi stepped forward to "comfort" Evans, who was unhappy after losing.
"Tyrek, victory or defeat is a matter of military strategism. As long as you continue to work hard, you still have a chance to defeat us."
Evans originally thought that Sun Yi came to comfort him sincerely, and his mood became much better.
But when he heard the next words, he couldn't help but want to beat Sun Yi, a bitch.
"As long as you work hard, you will know how big the gap is between you and me. Some gaps cannot be narrowed by hard work!"
After completing his daily routine, Sun Yi quickly left the place of right and wrong before Evans exploded.
Watching Sun Yi's leaving figure, Evans clenched his fists and planned to train even harder when he went back so that he could impress Sun Yi in the next match.
After defeating the Kings, the Warriors rushed back to Oakland without stopping to face the Houston Mosaics in back-to-back games.
Last season, the Mosaic team was still the home team of Chinese fans. Even if Dayao recovers from injury, domestic fans are still paying attention to the Mosaic team's games.
But in the new season, this phenomenon will never return.
After Dayao was traded to the Mavericks in the offseason, sports channels and some video websites immediately made adjustments, and the number of broadcasts of Mosaic games in the new season became less and less.
At the same time, fans changed their minds and joined the ranks of Warriors and Mavericks fans, causing a large loss of Mosaic fans.
It can be said that Dayao's departure had a certain impact on the Mosaic team.
After Dayao left, it was announced that the Yao-Mai era was completely over, and the Mosaic team began a journey of reconstruction.
Facing the weak Mosaic team, the Warriors easily won the game without spending much effort.
Relying on the outstanding performance of Sun Yi, David Lee and others, the Warriors defeated the Mosaic team 108-89 and won three consecutive victories.
Sun Yi continued his excellent form in this game, scoring 27 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks.
After the game, Sun Yi took the initiative to chat with Battier and sent out an invitation signal.
Battier knew his situation and nodded directly in agreement, saying that if he was to be traded, he would apply to the team to go to the Warriors.
At this stage, the Mosaic team is beginning to rebuild, and all players in hand may be traded in exchange for draft picks.
The Warriors still have quite a lot of draft picks, and they can participate appropriately and bring in Battier to further strengthen them.
…
…
After playing three games in the new season, each team has exposed various problems.
The Warriors had solved some minor problems before, but they didn't expect that big problems suddenly broke out.
In the past few games, Ellis increasingly felt that his team's core position was being challenged, and he had some opinions.
It is normal for Xiao Gongju to have opinions, after all, his interests are involved.
After the start of the new season, the Warriors coaching staff focused on cultivating Curry to become a core player and gave him more tasks. He began to take charge of a large amount of the ball and assume the team's organizational responsibility.
Sun Yi was the core player of the team last season, and no one can shake this status.
This puts the Warriors' original core player Monta Ellis in a very embarrassing situation.
Therefore, when this situation occurs, some problems will inevitably arise.
A team can only have two cores coexisting at most, and other players must make certain sacrifices, change their style of play, and transform into functional role players.
In the Big Three teams in history, players have made sacrifices. Ray Allen of the Celtics, Love of the Cavaliers, Bosh of the Heat, etc. are the best examples.
The Warriors coaching staff didn't expect how quickly this would happen.
It originally took a lot of time to cultivate the core of the team, but Sun Yi and Curry grew too fast, which led to the inability to hand over normally and some conflicts with the original core Ellis.
Theoretically, Curry will have to make some sacrifices, but he has a better understanding with Sun Yi and is more of a threat from beyond the three-point line than Ellis.
Moreover, with the strong rise of Sun Yi in the new season, he has been able to make up for Ellis' offensive role on the offensive end.
To put it bluntly, what Ellis can do, Sun Yi can also do, and can do better.
If Ellis does not change his style of play, the conflicts will completely intensify and problems will arise within the team.
If that happens, there will definitely be players leaving.
Judging from the current situation, Ellis is more likely to run away.
Faced with such a problem, the Warriors coaching staff is extremely troubled. They only hope that Ellis can understand the general situation in order to get perfect results.
Other teams have mixed feelings. The Mavericks and Spurs started well and won three consecutive games.
The Mavericks beat the Heat in the opening game, giving the Heat's Big Three a blow. The team's morale is high and everything is developing in a good direction.
Nowitzki, the core of the team, slowly integrated into the team-based play style developed by Carlisle, making the Mavericks even stronger.
After returning from injury, Dayao gradually regained his form and his playing time gradually increased. Moreover, Dayao's playing style is very suitable for Carlisle's system. Therefore, he, a latecomer, integrated into the Mavericks system faster than Nowitzki. .
The Spurs' three-game winning streak at the beginning did not attract much attention. They developed very quietly and secretly, hoping to surprise everyone.
Some teams started well and did not disappoint the fans, then there are teams that failed to live up to the expectations of the fans.
The Heat, the most promising team before the start of the new season, suffered three consecutive losses and had a very bad start.
For a time, the Heat were pushed to the forefront, and there were more and more news reports criticizing them. Some experts and celebrities who like to add insult to injury jumped out and made their own remarks in public, criticizing the Heat's Big Three.
It is said that James, Wade and others have closed their social accounts during this period and concentrated on preparing for the war, hoping to save face through practical actions.
In fact, this is not the fault of the Heat, it's just that the opponents they encountered at the beginning of the new season were too strong, and they were basically among the top ten teams.
Judging from the schedule, the Heat were sniped invisibly.
No need to guess, the man behind this situation must have the shadow of league president David Stern.
It can be said that the league arranged this arrangement to give the Heat a kick.
Judging from the current results, Stern has obviously succeeded.
It is foreseeable that the Heat will not have an easy time in the coming days.
At this stage, some of the teams are happy and some are worried, but the new season has just begun. They still have a lot of time to adjust and adjust. The final result is unknown.
…
On November 5, the Warriors faced the Phoenix Suns at home.
Last season, the Suns eliminated the Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals and successfully advanced to the finals, but still failed to break through and fell on the floor of the Western Conference finals.
After this loss, there were problems within the Suns.
Some players couldn't see the hope of winning the championship and were a little disheartened, so they decided to focus on money and pursue big contracts.
The main core player Stoudemire is one of them. After his contract expired, he did not renew his contract with the Suns and directly tested the free market, hoping to change to a new environment and compete for the championship.
After losing Stoudemire, the Suns wanted to strengthen in the free market, but they only traded Turkoglu, which did not make up for the Suns' loss.
The loss of the main core and some role players has resulted in a significant decline in the Suns' overall strength.
On the other hand, the Warriors have made significant reinforcements during the offseason, and the team is much stronger than last season.
After comparing the two, the Warriors had an absolute advantage, and the situation on both sides reversed.
After the internal conflicts occurred, Nelson was not in a hurry to make adjustments to the starting lineup.
With Monta Ellis's unruly character, he will definitely not be willing to play as a substitute. We can only hope that he can change his style of play and make more off-the-ball movements and passes.
After the game, Ellis played singles very willfully, wanting to tell others that the Warriors were still his team.
But the Suns' Richardson had no cooperation and was very focused on defense, making Ellis' singles efficiency very low.
Xiao Gongju will definitely not be convinced and forcefully breaks through the attack frame.
I don't know what happened, but the Suns' originally weak inside line suddenly became unstable, causing Ellis a lot of trouble.
After a rough fight from Ellis, the Warriors, who were originally stronger, were beaten by the Suns.
Warriors head coach Nelson frowned when he saw the scene on the court. In order to win the game, he forcefully replaced Ellis and replaced Tony Allen.
After the substitutions and adjustments, the Warriors took on a new lease of life, which was completely different from their previous performance. The offensive end played very smoothly, and the defensive end also restricted the Suns, instantly reversing the situation on the court.
On the bench of the Warriors, Ellis looked at Sun Yi, who was invincible in singles, and Curry, who hit consecutive three-pointers from beyond the three-point line. He didn't know what he was thinking.
On the court, relying on Sun Yi, Curry and others to show their prowess, the Warriors quickly widened the point difference and maintained a double-digit lead.
In the subsequent games, the Suns, led by Nash, launched counterattacks again and again, but were suppressed by the Warriors.
The Warriors have a balanced offense and defense in the new season. They are not the team last season that only had offense and no defense.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Suns 114-96, winning their fourth consecutive victory.
