Horford: I m just old, but I still have the ability to affect the game. The Warriors have the best piece of the puzzle to win the championship.

As the new season approaches, the NBA preseason has begun one after another, and the two Western Conference powerhouses, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors took the lead in the battle. The two teams did not have much lineup changes this summer, and they both strengthened around the relatively weak inside line. The Lakers grabbed the former No. 1 pick, Ayton, who was in his year of playing. After losing Rooney, the Warriors signed veteran Horford not long ago. The winning and losing of the preseason is not important to each team, but more about testing the players and practicing tactics. As a veteran who is nearly 40 years old, the status and degree of integration have become the focus of fans' attention and are also the key factor in whether the team is successful at the No. 5 position.

Facts have proved that veteran Horford is just old, but not without combat effectiveness. He can not only send a wonderful pass from Curry, who cuts the wings, and scores 2+1, but also gets removed from the pick-and-roll position to the top pot and hits a three-pointer from the outside line.

Since the formation of the Big Three with Curry + Thompson + Green as the core, the team has a 3D center for the first time, and Horford has excellent support skills, such a center player is perfect. For a long time, whether it is Bogut, Pachulia, Rooney, the Warriors' starting centers, they are all purely defensive and cannot give the team much help on the offensive end. Moreover, the lack of outside shooting ability forces Cole to use a five-square-square-line.

The current Warriors' lineup is only the main player is older, but after the renewal of Kumingga, the rotation lineup has many young players who are ready to fight. In addition, the Warriors' tactical system, as long as Kerr maintains a record in the regular season, he can be among the Western Conference playoffs and enters the playoffs, the experience and ability of these veterans in the finals can become a favorite for the championship, and Horford will become an excellent puzzle for the championship in this system.
