The Warriors have done quite well this offseason, with a lot of reinforcements and roster changes. For the Warriors, the preseason season is starting to test them. The Warriors' first opponent in the preseason is the Clippers, and we all know that if Leonard doesn't play, Harden is leading the team. As far as the first game of these two teams is concerned, we have all seen the final result, and the Warriors completed the super whistle and won this game. Although pre-season results do not count towards the overall results, they still reflect the form of the players. So what are the highlights of this game? Let's take a look. 35+9+9 three-pointers, the Warriors have three big babies, Kerr's new starter is a big success, and Curry is waiting.
Warriors highlight one, Kerr's starting lineup was a big success. After Klay's departure, Kerr needs to polish his new starting lineup. For the first game of the preseason, Kerr fielded a new starter, and the lineup was Kuminga + Green + Davis + Melton + Curry. As far as this set of starters is concerned, it is actually quite reasonable. The defense in the backcourt position is not pulled, the height in the frontcourt position is also enough, and there is a big center in the interior. Even though this lineup is the first time to use it, the effect is still very good. Kuminga, a veteran player, also has his own ideas, got 7 points and 7 rebounds, and is still in relatively good shape. New players like Melton, they all know what to do and do their job well.
Warrior highlight two, found three big treasures. We all know the nature of pre-season, it's about training and seeing how the new signings perform. As far as this game is concerned, these three players are eye-catching. The first one is Waters, the guy is quite fierce, and it is another version of Thompson. The guy played 15 minutes in the game, and in those 15 minutes, he hit 5 of 7 shots, all of which were three-point shots. The most important thing is that the guy hit the killer shot directly, and scored a total of 15 points, 3 rebounds and 5 three-pointers in the whole game. The second baby is Melton. As a new signing, Melton worked hard to show himself and showed his energy, finishing with 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 three-pointers.
Another thing we should note is that it is the third baby Moody's. For Moody's, the first three seasons were really not many opportunities. This is his contract year, and if he wants to stay with the Warriors or play for his price, this is his last chance. Judging by the first game of the preseason, Moody's was solid. In 12 seconds and 56 minutes, Moody hit 4 of 9 shots, 2-of-5 three-pointers, and finished with 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 three-pointers. In general, these three big treasures together, this game got a total of 35+9+9 three-point data, which can be said to be very good. Of course, players like Curry, they are also small experiments, and they are also relatively stable.
The Warriors' first game of the preseason was a huge success, and everyone saw that. In fact, Kerr still used a lot of players in this game, a total of 19 players on the court. To put it bluntly, it is to let the main team find form, let the new signings adapt to the lineup, let the players on the training camp contract perform hard, and stay in the team as much as possible. All in all, the Warriors in the new season should not think too much, as long as the new season can reach the playoffs, it will be a great success, and the matter of winning the championship will not be considered for the time being.
