In the NBA opener, the Lakers vs. the Clippers, who will have the last laugh in this Los Angeles derby?

The opening game of the new NBA season is about to start on October 23rd, Beijing time. There will be two games on that day. One is the Pelicans, led by No. 1 pick Zion Williams, versus the defending champion Raptors. , it is a pity that Zion was unable to participate in the game due to a torn meniscus, which reduced the attention of the game. The other game is the highlight of the national live broadcast, the Los Angeles Derby between the Lakers and the Clippers.

Both the Lakers and Clippers have made important signings in the new season. The Lakers traded the rookies they have carefully cultivated for many years from the Pelicans to the 2012 No. 1 pick "Brother Big Eyebrows" , teamed up with James and instantly became the favorite to win the championship. At the cost of trading away Ingram and others, the team's rotation and configuration of each position are not as sufficient as before.

On the other hand, the Clippers quietly made a fortune. The "LOGO" man quietly signed Leonard, the new FMVP, and made a deal with the Thunder for last year's high-ranking rookie Alexander. With the first-round pick of many years, Paul George was acquired. Two of the top five small forwards in the league joined the Clippers. Together with the originally deep bench, Lou Williams and Harrell's backup, there is no team in the league. Can compete with it.

Let’s talk about the team’s head coach. The Lakers experienced a coaching change in the summer and the new coach is Vogel. He is known for his iron-blooded defense. The iron-blooded defense created by the Pacers and the peak Heat three Giants battle in the playoffs. The Clippers are a team that Rivers has run for many years, and the team's system has already taken shape. Compared with the Lakers, I think the Clippers are more stable, and the Lakers mainly depend on the performance of James and "Big Eyebrow Brother". The result of the game is 50-50.
