WALNUT CREEK, California(AP) — Asahang mas magiging maigting ang hidwaan ng Lakers at Warriors, ayon kay Stephen Curry ngayong pangungunahan ni LeBron James ang Los Angeles.
Matapos ang apat na sunod na NBA Finals laban kay James at Cleveland Cavaliers, makakasagupa ng two-time defending champion Golden State si James sa apat na laro sa regular season.
“And a whole new-look Laker team with some of the young kids. It should be fun, the Bay Area and L.A. and the whole thing,” pahayag ni Curry nitong Lunes (Martes sa Manila) sa media conference ng kanyang taunang elite camp sa Ultimate Fieldhouse.

“When I first got into the league, Oracle would be buzzing any time the Lakers came in. There probably will be a revolution of Laker fans that are going to try to creep in but I hope Bay Area and Dub Nation we keep control of that competition because we’re on top right now,” aniya.
Gayunman, kumpiyansa si Curry, higit at nasa tropa nila ang bagong hugot na si DeMarcus Cousins, kasalukuyang nagpapagaling sa tinamong torn left Achilles tendon. Sa pagdating ni Cousins, ang Warriors lamang ay may starting dive na pawang All-Stars -- Curry, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green at Klay Thompson.
“It’s interesting because nobody going into free agency thought about DeMarcus as an option then all of a sudden he found his way onto our team,” pahayag ni Curry.
“So for us to have a new dynamic, a new look, whenever he’s fully healthy it should be amazing. I think we got better. Obviously we lost some pieces that were very vital to us winning a championship but you’ve got to evolve, you’ve got to find different things to focus on as you’re trying to repeat, so it should be exciting.”
