Three blocks in the first half! The Warriors 39-year-old veteran made his debut, which is very satisfying

The NBA is currently in the preseason competition, with teams constantly testing the lineup, inspecting the marginal players in the team, and constantly polishing the team's main rotation.

The Los Angeles Lakers played another preseason game today, against the Golden State Warriors. James and Doncic continued to quit, so the Lakers were not very competitive and lost to the Warriors 103-111.

The Warriors have their first preseason game, with core players such as Curry, Butler and Drummond Green all appearing, but the one who has attracted the most attention is veteran Horford, which is his debut with the Warriors. Horford signed a two-year, $12 million contract with the Warriors this summer to become the team's starting center.

Many people are worried about Horford's physical condition. After all, he is 39 years old. Can he keep up with the Warriors' fast-paced basketball? As it turns out, Horford perfectly fits the Warriors' tactical system.

Horford only played in the first half, played in less than 15 minutes, performed amazingly, easily contributing 3 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 3 blocks, with a plus-negative value of up to +13.

It should be noted that the Warriors do not rely on Horford's offense. The team does not lack Horford's points, but requires Horford's mobility and basket protection experience on the defensive end. Horford has a large defense range, and can mention double-teaming and stealing with teammates outside the three-point line, and can also effectively delay the opponent's ball-holding breakthrough, and finally use rich experience to complete interference and even block.

When Green was transferred to the outside, Horford could participate in the reconciliation defense well and always keep the Warriors having a big man in the penalty area. Although he is 39 years old and only about 206 cm tall, Horford is indeed a "new Bay Area giant" as the official social media account says. He is like a calmer and more accurate shooting in Green, who is so suitable for the Warriors.
