Bill led the team to defeat the Warriors in his debut, Bogdan returned to the cold again, and the Rockets and Nuggets are expected to be reborn.

The Los Angeles Clippers went to an away game to challenge the Golden State Warriors. Tyronn Lue directly rested almost all of their main and rotating lineups. As many as 6 players, including Harden, Leonard, and Paul, were all absent. However, in this game, Bill, another important signing of the team during the offseason, will make his debut after joining. With many players absent, the head coach also directly asked Bill to start the game to get a feel for the game.

Perhaps out of protection for Bill, Tyronn Lue only allowed him to play for 14 minutes in the first half and then hid him. Not long after the opening, Bill found his form on the offensive end and made consecutive mid-range shots. In addition to his poor outside three-point shooting throughout the game, he shot 100% on 2-pointers and scored 12 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal. In the end, the Clippers narrowly defeated the Warriors with Curry thanks to the outstanding performance of substitute player Sanders.

In addition to Bill, another substitute general Bogdanovic also made a comeback after withdrawing from the first game of the preseason. In the same 14 minutes of playing as a substitute, he only scored a dismal 4 points and 3 assists, missed all 2 outside three-pointers, and had no condition at all.

This outside pitcher's form after joining the Clippers last season was not stable. Although he occasionally performed amazingly, he was still unable to find his place in the team most of the time. In this summer's European Championship, before the injury, he regained his confidence in shooting and offense when he teamed up with Jokic to play for Serbia. However, after returning to the NBA, Bogdanovic seemed to be lost again.

The 33-year-old Bogdanovic is still in his prime. Last season he still averaged 11.4 points, 3.1 points and 3.2 rebounds per game, and his outside three-point shooting rate was as high as 42%. The joining of Bill and Paul will inevitably lead to a reduction in Bogdan's playing time, and the Clippers' center Zubac is a blue-collar type, not good at supporting and organizing passes, and cannot create shooting space for him to pass the ball as accurately as Jokic.

In this way, perhaps applying for a trade is the best choice for Bogdan, and his most ideal destinations are undoubtedly the Nuggets and Rockets. The Nuggets have his most familiar teammate Jokic, and the team always lacks a scorer at the second position. Bogdan can perfectly make up for this shortcoming.

The Rockets have Shen Jing, who is known as Little Jokic, and the team's many centers and forwards fight for rebounds, which gives outside shooters great confidence and the right to take shots. The team's tactics in the new season have been very clear, which is to shoot and grab. For pitchers, as long as they seize the opportunity, they will get a good chance to play.
