NBA regular season October 20 game summary
A total of 12 games were played today, the Spurs and the Hornets, and in the absence of three goals due to an ankle injury, the Hornets still beat the Spurs by 27 points, this non-playoff team is not much to see, if the three goals are there, you can also look at his pass, the only player in the active player who can match the pass as white chocolate Williams.
In the game between the Trail Blazers and the Kings, Lillard was 1 of 8 on three-pointers, shooting 12.5% from the field, although this shot was very crotch, but fortunately, the Trail Blazers won the game, and Lillard's total number of three-pointers also came to 2144, ranking 9th in history, James ranked 10th with 2143, and Curry ranked first in history with 3121. Although the Kings have been living fossils in the lottery area in recent years, the team's Daron Fox and Sabonis Jr. are now able to squeeze into the top 50 of the league, but these two are obviously not hot in handling key balls, and losing to the Trail Blazers today can be said to be a loss.
The Wizards vs. Pacers, which Beal and Kuzma could see when they played preseason, were invincible, and I predicted at the time that the Wizards' record early in the regular season would be very good. Although the Pacers lost the game, their rookie Matulin continued his hot preseason performance, coming off the bench to get 19 points and 7 rebounds, and coach Carlisle also praised Maturin after the game, saying that he has infinite possibilities and that his ability in the first game is undoubtedly exciting. Matulin's starting position is expected to arrive soon, and Haliburton, who has the highest score of the game, should be the first choice for the Lakers and Pacers trade, and his style of play is fully adapted to James.
The game between the Magic and the Pistons, the Magic lost, the performance of the champion Banqueiro can be described as invincible, the key moment is not soft at all, the best rookie basically did not run, the only drawback is that Banqueiro did not shoot a three-point shot in this game, which also shows that Banqueiro is completely unsure of his three-point accuracy. After watching Piston Bojan's performance, I can only say that the management of the Lakers is real waste, not only can I not eat hot food, but I can't even see the pot.
The game between the Rockets and the Hawks, the score was scorched until the final three minutes, although the Rockets lost, this team gave me the feeling that the future is promising, now the team Jalen Green, Porter Jr. and this year's scout show Smith is a mini version of the Big Three, and this year's No. 17 pick Tari Ethan also has a strong mid-range shooting ability, and in time, the Rockets will not have much problem returning to the playoffs. The Hawks' offense has become more fluid since Murray arrived, and this year they are expected to go straight to the playoffs without playing any more play-offs.
The Bulls and Heat, both of which were playoff teams last season, today the Heat's defense was crushed by DeRozan alone, scoring is like a scout, and the Bulls win is reasonable.
The game between the Cavaliers and the Raptors, the Raptors narrowly defeated the Cavaliers, Garland only played 13 minutes due to a left eye injury, Mitchell and the Cavaliers are perfectly matched, everyone can pay more attention to the game between the Cavaliers and the Raptors in the future, because this is likely to be an early preview of the playoff encounter, both teams have no worse records this season, and it is likely to meet in the second round of the playoffs.
The Grizzlies-Knicks game played the first overtime of the new season, Barrett didn't play at all, and Morant was already heading in the direction of superstardom.
The game between the Thunder and the Timberwolves, although the Timberwolves won, but obviously felt that it was very difficult to win, Gobert has not fully integrated into the Timberwolves system, if this problem is not dealt with quickly, the Timberwolves don't talk about the championship, it will be difficult to enter the playoffs. The Thunder's Alexander proved his worth with actual performance, fully worthy of a five-year 172 million contract, and Alexander's position as the boss is already very stable.
Nuggets and Jazz game, Nuggets upset lost to Jazz, the whole game, Nuggets' performance is not bad, the reason for the loss, can only be said that the performance of the Jazz team is too eye-catching, with collective strength to defeat the MVP-led team, but this kind of game has no reference value, a team that can't make the playoffs will only flash once or twice in the regular season, it can't last.
The game between the Mavericks and the Suns, in the final moments, the Suns relied on Damien Lee's supernatural performance to reverse the Mavericks in one fell swoop and get off to a good start, like Damien Lee's performance like Maddie's 35 seconds scoring 13 points, there will only be this time in this life. The Mavericks led by 22 points at most, and suffering such a big comeback in the first game of the opening game did not bode well for the Mavericks.
Finally, focus on the game between the Nets and the Pelicans, this game is obviously the most concerned one, but did not expect the Nets to defeat the Pelicans by 22 points, at the beginning of the game, the Pelicans played the Nets 20-4, but Nash is Tarzan collapsed in front and did not change his face, still with a pants pocket in his hand, dangling on the sidelines, Irving performed sluggishly throughout the court, the Nets' rebounds could not grab the Pelicans, the whole team relied on Durant's non-stop singles to continue their lives, and the loss was not unjust at all. Ingram played at the level of a superstar, Zion played like a fish in water on the inside, and Simmons, who defended Zion, was like paper paste, completely unable to match Zion's offensive intensity. The Pelicans can expect this year, and their worst record will have to reach the Western Conference semifinals.
