The opening match of the new NBA season is out! As soon as it comes, it s going to be a big wave! The Clippers are neglected again

The offseason is too long, and the European Cup of the Men's Basketball Team is still worth watching by the end of August. Many international NBA stars will make their debut, including Jokic, Antetokounmpo, and Doncic. These three are ranked among the top 5 in the NBA's current combat power. There is no problem. Let's guess who will win the European Cup championship. Regarding the new NBA season, Shams has recently announced the opening match of next season, including two games. The opening match will be held on October 21st. The schedule is the Rockets VS Thunder (home), and the Warriors VS Lakers (home). As the opening ceremony of each season's regular season, the NBA opener is by no means random, but the result of the league's careful planning based on multiple factors. Prioritize the top old-school superstars, or be boosted by some emerging stars, plus big city preferences. The opening match should have a sense of ritual and set the tone of the season with the championship celebration; it should be storytelling, and use grudges to create communication explosive points; it should be commercialized and use superstars and big markets to leverage global traffic. The two openers of next season are very interesting.

First of all, the Rockets vs. The Thunder are both young teams of the new generation and have begun to rise in recent years. They ranked in the top 2 in the Western Conference last season respectively. The Thunder is still the championship this year, and the championship celebrations are definitely indispensable in the opening game. The Rockets were originally the super dark horses of the Western Conference. This offseason has ushered in Durant, with a significant increase in books and a sharp increase in team traffic. Of course, this opening game is not just a collision between two new generation teams, but another highlight, that is, Durant, who has just joined the Rockets, met his old club, the Thunder, and Durant will also watch the award ceremony on the opening night of the Thunder.

In the words of US media ClutchPoints, "The opening game of the Thunder is destined to be an emotional night. The Thunder will raise the first championship flag in team history, and Kevin Durant will also be on the scene. However, this time, he is wearing a Rockets jersey. It has been 9 years since Kevin Durant left the Thunder. He led the team to the finals in 2012, won the MVP in 2014, becoming Oklahoma Homer's basketball symbol. But during his time, the championship has never arrived. Now, Shay Gilgers Alexander, Chet Homegren and the new core members of the Thunder will receive their championship rings in front of home fans, while Durant stands on the opposite side and watches silently. This is a celebration of OKC and a reincarnation moment in KD's life. "

Another Lakers vs. Warriors, which is also a traditional show. These two teams will definitely have to meet traffic. I don’t know how the US is doing. Anyway, in our country, the Lakers and the Warriors are the two most popular teams in the NBA now. This is due to the star of the two teams - James and Curry, who are currently ranked among the top two superstars in honor. Regarding the Lake Yong Battle, the most impressive thing in recent years is probably the 23rd playoffs. At that time, the two teams met in the second round, and the Lakers laughed to the end 4-2. I don’t know how many years will Zhan Ku and the other two be able to compete in the league?

And for the opening game of Lake Yong in the new season, there are still several highlights. The first is what kind of performance will the new aid Ayton play on the Lakers? How well he has worked with the team during the offseason, and whether his enthusiasm will be improved compared to the Trail Blazers. In any case, Ayton is also the No. 1 pick, and the salary he signed with the Lakers is a bit lower, but his talent and ability are still worth looking forward to. The second is Doncic. After slimming and gaining muscle, can people be impressed? Doncic will also play in the European Cup, but there is indeed a big gap between the international arena and the NBA in all aspects. It depends on whether Doncic can truly evolve in the league. The third is the Warriors. The Warriors have not strengthened any of the offseason so far and have no results. By next season, will they really not be able to hold on? At least Horford, Melton must win these.

In addition to the opening game, Shams also announced the schedule for the Christmas game next season. The five sets of duels are:

-Cleveland Cavaliers vs New York Knicks

-San Antonio Spurs vs Oklahoma City Thunder

-Houston Rockets vs Los Angeles Lakers

-Dallas Mavericks vs Golden State Warriors

-Minnesota Timberwolves vs Denver Nuggets

(The next home team)

The Lakers are thinking about the Rockets, as if they were back 20 years ago, the Rockets led by the Yao-Macau combination and the Lakers led by the OK combination were also one of the most popular teams in the league at that time. The last time the Rockets played against the Warriors in 2019, it happened that the Warriors were in a bad mood. Durant had just left, Curry and Thompson were reimbursed for the season, so the Fire Brave Christmas game that year was quite ugly. The Rockets, who had Westbrook and Harden, lost to the Warriors led by Dream Green and Damien Lee, was a bit embarrassing.

In addition, the Cavaliers participated in the Christmas battle for the first time since James left. The Suns missed the chance for the first time after four years, and Durant had to have a platoon. As soon as Durant left, the Suns instantly fell into an unpopular team. The Celtics missed the opportunity for the first time after 10 years, and the dynasty also needs a break from breathing. There is no way, Tatum will have to miss it for a long time next season. The Clippers' lineup is so luxurious that they missed the Christmas battle this year. It's a pity that there are no two tigers in one mountain, both in Los Angeles. The Lakers' status is too high, and the Clippers are helpless.
