The NBA opener is full of gunpowder!

On October 22, the NBA new season battle will soon begin! The league officially announced the opening showdown: Houston Rockets challenge the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder away, while the Golden State Warriors will be away against the Lakers. These two focus battles mark NBC Sports' grand return after years of leaving NBA broadcasting. The dramatic script of Durant's return to his hometown is undoubtedly the biggest burst of the opening night. KD, wearing the Rockets' jersey, stepped into the Thunder home court where he had played for many years, and what he would welcome was the glorious moment of his former mother team receiving the championship ring. Imagine Durant standing in the visiting team player channel, staring at the former team wearing a ring that symbolizes the highest honor. Amid the celebration of the Thunder fans, what kind of waves will the superstar feel in his heart? This arrangement full of fate makes fans call the league "too good at making arrangements".

Another Lakers' match against the Warriors can be called the "old-name Spring Festival Gala" carefully prepared by the league. The collision between LeBron James and Stephen Curry, two epoch-making superstars, is enough to ignite the ratings frenzy. The lineup of the two teams has been upgraded in the new season - Mavericks core Luka Doncic airborne the Lakers, Heat tough guy Jimmy Butler joins the Warriors, injecting unprecedented fresh gunpowder into this classic showdown. James + Doncic VS Curry + Butler, new and old stars join forces, and the offense and defense intensity and topicality are directly full.

The selection of these two groups in the opening match also marks NBC's strong return. As a veteran broadcast partner of the NBA, NBC's debut will focus on the most story-oriented and star-studded games, and its broadcast quality and rating appeal will undoubtedly be reviewed by fans around the world. On the night of October 22, the new NBA season is destined to set sail in dramatic conflicts and starlight. Durant faced the complex mood of the old master and glory. The battle of Lake Divine was reborn with the addition of super new players, and every scene was full of topics and suspense.
