The Godfather of Basketball

93 to 110, the Nets had nothing to do with the Warriors' dead five, and the substitute group did not play an advantage in the transition period, and they eventually lost by a big score.

1 to 1, after the end of the two games, the two sides fought to a tie.

In these two games, both sides showed their own big moves, and the game was far more exciting than the fans expected, and the ratings of the finals also came back immediately.

Based on the performance of the two sides in these two games, people have reason to believe that this will be a round of fierce finals.

The Warriors' death five created a big problem for Tang Tian and the Nets coaching staff, and just like Miller said, this is a problem that the Cavaliers have not solved.

But the good news is that after two games, the game will return to Brooklyn, and the Nets finally don't have to play against the noise of the sky.

The third game is the same as the second game, and there is still a three-day break.

In addition to letting Frank lead the team in daily training, Tang Tian has also been thinking about the five minor issues.

In the previous life, the Rockets did the best for the Warriors' fifth team, but they did so because they had Tucker who could play the fifth position. It is still very difficult to match Curry.

Time flies, and there is not much time left for Tang Tian to think. Before the home opener, he held a temporary regular meeting with the coaching staff.

After a while of discussion, they came up with a surprise trick.

Defend the 3-2 zone defense, then let Yi Jianlian hide in the penalty area, mainly defend the three-pointer and the basket, and selectively give up the mid-range position.

Tang Tian also used this method in the Cavaliers before, but it was more risky. After all, the Warriors are also very capable of scoring from mid-range.

But this is the only way I can think of to deal with Wu Xiao so far.

After a day of intense training, the third game of the finals officially started in Brooklyn.

The crowd at Barclays Center was surging, not only the seats, but also the aisles and the second floor were packed with fans.

The last time the Knicks made it to the finals was in the 1998-99 season, 17 years ago, and after entering the 21st century, let alone the finals, it would be very good to make it to the playoffs. Now the Knicks are even more It's another bad bottom of the century, expecting them to reach the finals is not as good as counting on the reality of winning the first prize of the individual lottery.

Fortunately, New York now has more than one Knicks team. The Nets have risen rapidly in the past two years and have grown into an upstart in New York, let alone reached the finals now.

The enthusiasm of the New York fans really needs to be unleashed, not weaker than that of the Bay Area.

The Warriors followed the five-minor starting lineup from the previous game.

The Nets also removed Jokic and replaced Booker, with five against five.

Yi Jianlian jumped to beat Green, and the Nets went first.

Gordon and Booker cut directly around the pick-and-roll or run back.

The offensive style of this team is very similar to that of the Warriors, and it is also what the Nets have been doing in the past, except that compared with the regular season, the organizer has changed from Jokic to Deron.

Although the Warriors' fifth team's unlimited defenses are fast, the Nets' ability to seize opportunities is not weak.

Booker came out, Deron passed the ball immediately, and Booker threw it away.

His template is Klay Thompson. Regardless of his defensive ability, his offensive talent is not much worse than Thompson.

The ball was shot quickly, and Barnes' defense was a bit behind.

"Shua!"

With a crisp sound, the ball hit the net.

Barclays Center was instantly ignited.

Booker contributed immediately after being mentioned as a starter, which gave the home fans plenty of confidence.

Curry advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and the Nets put out their unique move. Deron, Gordon, and Booker expanded to the three-point line, and Yi Jianlian and Butler recovered the penalty area, a standard 3-2 defense.

The 3-2 zone defense is aimed at three-pointers.

However, the Warriors obviously have more than three-pointers. After seeing the Nets' defensive adjustments, Curry directly chose to break through with the ball after changing directions.

There is a gap between Deron and Curry in speed, and he was changed to get rid of it.

Yi Jianlian didn't come out at this time. Instead, he shrank to the three-second zone and stretched out his hand to defend Curry's layup.

After seeing it, Curry chose a small throw one step inside the free throw line.

"Shua!"

Curry's throw shot was hollow into the net. His defense is a problem, but his offensive means are rich, and they are all top-notch.

The Nets attacked the frontcourt again, and the Warriors were obviously more on guard. Booker and Gordon failed to run out of opportunities, and Butler and Yi Jianlian's air cuts were also blocked.

After seeing it, Deron rushed directly to Curry, saw Iguodala coming to help defend, and made a mid-range jumper with an emergency stop.

"Shua!"

Deron's shot also went in.

With the advent of the small ball era, CIC's skills have gradually disappeared, and now there are only a few top guards left, such as Paul and Deron.

The Warriors attacked the frontcourt, but Curry also rushed.

Butler came over to help defend at this time, and Curry passed the ball to Iguodala who made an air cut on the weak side.

Iguodala's layup was missed by Yi Jianlian who had been guarding the basket.

Although Yi Jianlian's speed is not as fast as Green's, he is also top-notch in the league, and he has an excellent height and wingspan. Unless he takes the initiative to attack, it is not easy to get to the basket through such a large obstacle. things.

Yi Jianlian jumped again to receive the defensive rebound, and the Nets defended the round.

Deron took the ball to the frontcourt again, and directly signaled to open the singles.

The Warriors' small ball defense is excellent, coupled with unlimited defense changes, there are great restrictions on tactics. At this time, it is not as efficient as singles.

After changing direction and crushing powerfully, and seeing the weak side Iguodala come over to help defend, he flicked his hands and passed the ball, and Butler had a chance to catch the ball.

"boom!"

The shot was a bit heavy and missed.

The Nets retreated quickly, and Deron posted that Curry would not give him a chance to shoot a super long three-pointer.

After returning to the backcourt, the Nets immediately had another 3-2 zone defense.

Curry rushed to the basket again, and Deron followed up and confronted him this time. Curry went to the basket and slowed down to use the rhythm to find a shot space, avoiding the basket behind Deron.

"boom!"

But as soon as he took the ball, he was slapped back by Yi Jianlian.

When the Warriors' scoring method was forced from the three-point line to the inside, the Warriors' scoring efficiency and speed declined.

The first quarter lasted more than six minutes, and the score was 10-4. The Nets scored 10 points in half a quarter, which is not too much, but the Warriors only scored 4 points, which is obviously not their normal level.

The Nets' strange move had unexpected results.

The game on the court is still going on. When the substitutes are connected, the Nets have already achieved a double-digit lead, and when the substitutes come up, the Nets' advantage is even more obvious.

Jokic can't deal with the Death Five, but he still hits Azeri and Speights with accuracy. The advantage of the Nets is expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The New York fans at the scene became more and more excited the more they watched, the Nets really had something to do!
