The Godfather of Basketball

The players on both sides rushed over immediately, but fortunately, Tang Tian and Cole stopped the off-court players who wanted to play, and the situation did not worsen.

The conflict on the field gradually subsided, and the referee separated the two sides.

Green and Mitchell each received a technical foul, and after canceling each other out, the Nets still had the ball.

Mitchell adjusted his mood and made a free throw, and the Nets chased the point difference to 7 points.

In the Warriors' offense, Green was suspected of moving the pick-and-roll, and the sideline referee directly blew his whistle.

This kind of pick-and-roll is not uncommon in the Warriors, but they don't usually brag about it much. The conflict between the two sides just now made the penalty scale on the court tighter.

Green smiled and spread his hands, not showing too much excitement.

He plays tough but has a high IQ. He will be sent off for another technical foul.

Rondo also gave the ball to Mitchell.

At this time, Jokic took the initiative to mention the high position and blocked one. Mitchell accelerated to switch to West in one step, then accelerated to change direction and squeezed past, drifting to the low-handed layup under the basket.

The fans cheered endlessly.

Green's provocation to Mitchell directly inspired the latter!

After this period, he made sudden and extra free throws and scored 9 points in a row!

The difference in points was only 5 points!

Cole held up his hand for a timeout.

The team's defense at this stage is difficult to satisfy him, and it is like chopping melons and vegetables for a rookie on the other side.

When Mitchell left the field, he heard the audience cheering for him, waving his hands up, and got even louder cheers from the fans in response.

He doesn't play much, and these few minutes are his regular rotation. He may be off after the timeout, but he has played well during this period.

After the timeout, the Warriors made a substantial substitution. Green, Durant, Iguodala, Thompson, Curry, and Cole put on the ultimate version of the "Five of Death".

Tang Tian had already asked Mitchell to sit down, and after seeing it, he asked him to replace Yi Jianlian, Irving, Mitchell, Butler, George, Jokic, this is also an upgraded version of the Nets' five minors last season .

Curry dribbles upfield and calls Green for a pick-and-roll.

The Nets directly changed and did not force Curry.

Curry gestured to pull away after seeing it, and it seemed that he wanted to challenge Jokic one-on-one.

Change directions continuously, and then step back for three points.

Jokic lost a lot of weight during the offseason, and his flexibility has increased a lot, which is why Tang Tian dared to put him in the five small lineup.

But Curry's speed is really fast, even if Jokic reacts immediately, the interference he gives is still very limited.

Curry shot from a distance of one meter from the three-point line, and the ball spun and shot to the basket.

"boom!"

The shot was a little short, hit the front of the backboard and jumped out, and the long rebound was grabbed by George.

The arrival of Durant greatly increased the strength of the Warriors, but because of the problem of ball possession, Curry could not play the state of the 73-win period, and this abnormally accurate three-pointer became sometimes absent.

The Nets counterattacked, the Warriors retreated quickly, and Irving pressed the ball down the frontcourt.

Irving faced Curry with the ball in the frontcourt and motioned for others to pull away.

Continuously change direction, zoom in, change direction again, turn around, turn around.

Curry did a good single defense with this ball, and he has never been shaken.

Iguodala on the weak side came to help.

Owen is not very good at passing the ball, and he also knows that he is not good at it. He didn't go to his teammates at this moment, but directly accelerated to the baseline and then stopped and receded.

Curry flew to interfere.

"Shua!"

With a crisp sound, Irving still threw the ball into the basket!

There were constant whistles on the scene.

Irving is nicknamed "Uncle Drew". You can say that he is not good at defense, or that he is not very good at passing, but he can just send the basketball to the basket.

The point difference has come to 3 points!

"Defend! Defend!"

The shouts on the scene were loud. After Mitchell hit a wave of personal attacks, Irving successfully continued to fire. The Nets are going to start!

Curry dribbled to the frontcourt and wanted to hit Irving directly.

He doesn't defend well, and Irving's defense is worse than him!

But he couldn't find Owen.

Irving had already switched to defending Iguodala at this time.

This is also the defensive system established by Tang Tian's coaching for many years. The team's least defensive players are placed in the hinterland to protect everyone, so that everyone is in the most correct first position.

Iguodala ran over the pick-and-roll from the sideline and wanted Irving to switch to Curry.

But when he was on the move, George came over early to change, and Irving changed to defend Thompson again.

This is the whole defensive system of the Nets, which is similar to the system Stevens established for the Celtics.

Curry tried twice but couldn't replace Irving, and finally gave the ball to Durant. Durant hit Butler with his back in the low post, turned around and made an unreasonable mid-range pull-up hit.

As a new franchise player who can snatch the FMVP from Curry, Durant's personal strength is beyond doubt.

Looking back, Irving held the ball from the outside, and Jokic directly put on the pick-and-roll. This is a different trick.

Substitution after the pick-and-roll, Irving faced Green.

Green is the best defensive player, but he is inside after all. Irving's continuous shaking made him a little unstable. After a fake breakthrough by Irving forced him to take half a step back, it was an emergency stop.

Green reacted quickly, jumping up abruptly and causing interference.

"Shua!"

But the ball still crossed the defensive hollow into the net.

Irving has all the offensive skills of a guard and is proficient in all of them. He is really hard to defend when he feels like playing.

It's still a 3-point difference, but the Nets' momentum is completely different from that in the first quarter, even if they face the Warriors' ultimate death five, it is completely worthwhile.

George and Butler's defense, Jokic's support, Mitchell's toughness, Irving's singles, the Nets played 120% of the state.

Relying on their brave performance, they scored 40 to 25 in a single quarter, not only catching up with the score, but also overtaking by 3 points!

Irving had 14 points, Mitchell had 9 points, George had 8 points, Butler and Jokic each had 7 points...

The Nets played team basketball in the first two seasons. After signing Irving and George in the new season, this halftime is to play the superstar team basketball!

The Warriors launched a crazy attack in the third quarter. Durant and Curry found their status one after another. In the third quarter, they came back and beat the Nets 40 to 25, abruptly pulling the score away.

But the Nets are really tough. In the opening transition of the fourth quarter, they seized the opportunity when the Warriors' main force could not make it to the third quarter. Oden and Tucker played a strong defense, and Mitchell and Markanen attacked one after another. The basket, after a wave of counterattacks, tied the score again.

At the moment of the decisive battle, Irving was even more unstoppable, and he made sudden shots and added penalties, which was indistinguishable from the Warriors fans just now.

On the last attack, Irving swayed Green from the outside and hit a quasi-lore three-pointer, helping the Nets beat the Warriors 113-109 at home, avenging the opening game!
