First, the mysterious James decision. Second, it is actually the funeral of a big name in basketball.

The decision to bring Hennessy II and the tsunami of public opinion triggered by the war drama Princes made people clearly feel that the building of James' empire was about to collapse.

If he were at the top, James would firstly disdain to be so humble, and secondly, he would not be so sensational.

Under the universal celebration of Zhan Hei and the silence of Zhan Mi, when Zhan Mi could no longer resist Zhan Hei's offensive, and even swayed and turned back, the influence of the old Lion King James was obviously not what it used to be.

Even the positioning of Hennessy, which was self-defeating, has become old-fashioned, just like Chinese liquor today.

Decision 2, which caused an uproar, is likely to result in a lose-lose situation for both James and Hennessy.

For James, even if Hennessy offers an irresistible price, there is a cost to such consumption. On the occasion of his 41st birthday when the drumbeat of retirement is getting louder and louder, such troubles are increasingly equivalent to sunk costs.

The fans' ridicule of the second decision and the subsequent sciatica of James showed that this funeral of a big name in basketball was indeed a failed marketing. On the one hand, young fans are already tired of the 40-year-old James. On the other hand, the new Lakers owner is tired of James who has been injured for three consecutive years.

Second, the Warriors are obviously more dependent on Curry than the Lakers are on James.

Zhan Dong continues to be absent today, and Kuba is not playing at the same time. The Lakers have at least a 50% discount on salary in the preseason.

The game was full of difficulties from the beginning because the two core point guards all broke their contracts, and the Warriors were already 20 points behind in less than halftime, which shows that they are indeed Curry's team. Without this true god, no matter how good Cole's system is, it will be in vain, especially Chasing Dreams and Kuminga, who have completely proved themselves to be error machines for pure system players.

Although the Warriors opened a three-pointer in the third quarter to narrow the point difference to single digits, it was of no consequence because the second half still belonged to Brownie.

Brownie scored 5 points, and Adou, who still couldn't help him, was only half a level higher than Zeng Fanbo.

The reason why the Lakers won today was their tried-and-tested height advantage against the Warriors. However, Laravia's defensive end was actually beaten by Kuminga, which shows that the Lakers' perimeter defense in the new season must be difficult to describe. In this black-dominated league, the three white perimeters of Doncic, Reeves and Laravia, although they can sell tickets, are definitely a tofu project that is surrounded by good external defeats.

The biggest gain from the two games between the Lakers and the Lakers is that Ayton has proven himself. Coach Redick and Doncic finally got a reliable center.

However, because James is likely to play intermittently this season, the Lakers' results this season are likely to be far less bright than the Warriors. The Lakers are just perfunctory James' farewell, and the Warriors' goal is to package Kuminga in the first half of the season and sell it before February next year, while the second half of the season is still to squeeze out the final value of Kuba.
