According to the report of Warriors and team reporter Nick friedel, dream catcher Green will miss this game due to a slight strain of his right foot muscle, and rookie Wiseman will make his debut in the regular season. Although the dream catcher Green was absent due to injury, it became the focus of attention before the game because of the lineup configuration and star origin of the two teams. Among them, KD deeply confessed his old club in the interview, and Curry also told KD from a distance.
In an interview, Durant publicly stated for the first time that confrontation with his old club would never make him feel more excited. Nets are not their own team. Every team they have stayed in will leave their own traces more or less. They always put everything on the table.
Then Durant talked about his relationship with his old club Warriors. KD said that he was still good friends with Curry, Clay and Dreamcatcher, and kept in touch. In the off-season, I met a dream catcher in the hotel. It was a pleasant experience. Curry and I often talked on the phone. Wherever we are, we all live in the same culture.
KD said that he will always remember Livingston, Iguodala, Curry, Clay, Jordan Bell, nick young and all his former Warriors teammates. When you win the championship in a team, you will have different feelings for that team. In your heart, everyone thinks he is a warrior.
In addition, KD also specifically mentioned Clay's injury in the interview, saying that this news made him feel heartbroken. I can't imagine how Clay would feel if he wanted to keep someone who loves basketball so much away from it for two years. Fortunately, KD revealed that he talked to Clay after the operation, and the latter maintained a very good attitude. Finally, KD wished Clay a strong return after his injury.
In the face of Durant's affectionate confession from a distance, Curry also spoke his mind in the interview, saying that it was really great to see KD back on the court. He doesn't want to say anything to KD. Playing hard on the court is the best communication. Because great players can inspire the best of themselves, Curry hopes to help KD in the process of mutual promotion.
Compared with Curry's appearance on the court, Cole talked more about KD around this game. Cole first said that he specially watched the replay of the Nets preseason a few nights ago and thought that the Nets would become a horrible team in the new season. At the same time, Cole quipped that this was his "retribution", because in the past five years, the Warriors he coached were such a team. Speaking of Durant, Cole said Durant is still Durant, and nothing has changed.
In addition, Cole also revealed in the interview that the Warriors will follow the example of other teams in the new season and adopt the strategy of five people outside the three-point line, so that the big man inside can attack the inside, because in this era, it is completely impracticable not to adopt this method. Because, the more the team lacks strikers, the more it needs to open up space, which sounds ironic, but it is true.
