The Godfather of Basketball

The two teams have played against each other in the finals in the past two years. Once, the Nets reversed 1-3, and the Warriors eliminated the Nets 4-1. This is the first time the two sides have encountered Tianwangshan on the stage of the finals.

Although they have never played against each other, the importance of the Tianwangshan battle is self-evident, and the winning side will have the absolute initiative.

New York fans are very excited about the upcoming battle of Tianwangshan, not only because the Nets have a strong tie in the away game, but also because the game will be played in Brooklyn, and the Nets will have home court advantage.

The performance of the Nets exceeded expectations, and it seems that the Warriors have no solution, and the outside world's predictions for the finals have also undergone a wave of changes.

The pundits who predicted the Warriors would easily win the series turned to the Nets to win the Finals.

This is the essence of an expert, a piece of grass that moves with the wind.

But no matter what the outside world thinks, whether it is 0-2 behind or 2-2 tied, Tang Tian's requirements for the team are the same, 100% investment.

The battle of Tianwangshan is imminent, but it is not a small difficulty for some young fans in China.

Because this day happens to be the day of the college entrance examination, those young fans who are used to watching live broadcasts can only express their wishes on social media.

"Come on Warriors, even if you are tied, I still believe in you, come on Curry, come on Durant, you will definitely build a dynasty with consecutive championships!"

"Come on, Nets, come on Tang Tian, ​​you've done what everyone thought you couldn't do, and it's time to win the championship!"

"Chasing the egg Green shook his head, stepping on the scum to join the enemy Du, the Nets cheered and overthrew the Warriors, I hate the Warriors the most!"

...

On the evening of June 8, US time, the battle between the Warriors and the Nets kicked off in Brooklyn, New York.

Spike Lee, Hugh Jackman, Jessica Chastain and many other stars appeared in the front row of the Barclays Center auditorium.

In such a battle of the century, stars are always indispensable.

The opening ceremony started soon, and the volume of the DJ on the scene seemed to be twice as high as usual, and the cheers of the fans on the scene seemed to burst through the roof of the arena at any time.

Both sides maintained the starting lineups of the past two games.

The Nets have Owen Garwed on the outside, Butler and George on the striker, and Jokic on the center.

The Warriors have Curry and Thompson Splash Brothers on the outside, Iguodala and Durant on the front line, and Green on the center.

Jokic beat Durant with a jump, turned the ball back to the Nets half, and the home team got the first chance to attack.

Jokic's high-post support, Wade's cut took away Thompson, Irving received George's screen to kill the basket, and Jokic passed a pass to score a layup.

After winning two cities in a row, the tacit understanding of the Nets' lineup on the court is getting higher and higher.

The Warriors' frontcourt Green's support at the top of the circle, Durant came out to catch the ball and shot, but Jokic released Green in advance to double-team interference.

"boom!"

The shot went a bit wide, Jokic received the defensive rebound, the Nets counterattacked directly, and Irving caused Thompson's blocking foul.

The Nets' frontcourt.

It was still Jokic's frontcourt support, this time Butler who received the ball, the latter got an open three-pointer at a 45-degree angle on the right wing.

"boom!"

It's a pity that the ball didn't go in.

The Warriors counterattacked to the frontcourt, and Durant stepped on the three-point line and hit a large two-pointer.

After the opening of the game, the rhythm and situation on the field of the two teams are similar to those on the field, and they all rely on the team and the system to play.

The two teams fought evenly again.

About 10 minutes into the first quarter, the score on the court was 27 to 26, and the Warriors took the lead.

Both sides have entered the rotation lineup one after another.

But at this moment, the Warriors made adjustments.

Curry and Thompson rested, and Green and Durant stayed on the court.

Cole's pressure, finally can't pretend anymore!

But he still doesn't seem to want to admit this, he just made adjustments in the rotation.

Mitchell used Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll to score at the basket in the frontcourt. Durant turned around and dunked Tucker in the low post.

Yi Jianlian turned inside and pressed McCaw to score with a hook. Durant broke through the inside and caused Yi Jianlian's thugs.

Cole's rotation adjustment allowed the Warriors to successfully continue their firepower, and they were no longer at a disadvantage in the transition from the bench.

The fans at the scene were restless, and when Cole was shown on the sidelines, his expression was not very good.

Relying on the Durant Warriors to hold the situation, he was forced to slap himself in the face.

However, whether it is a face-slap or an embarrassment, this move did allow the Warriors to show their greatest advantage-talent crushing, allowing them to change the situation of falling behind in the first two halftimes, and ended the halftime with a 58-56 lead .

This is definitely good news for the Warriors. The third quarter is when they are strongest, and even the Nets can hardly stop them. This has been proven in the past two games.

"We need to slow down the tempo in the third quarter, and at the same time increase the defensive strength. Don't worry about the offense. This is our home field. If we defend the third quarter, we will have a great chance of winning." Midfielder Tang Tian told the players in the locker room They exhorted.

The Nets have been playing defensive counterattacks, but the Warriors went crazy in the third quarter and they were also defensive counterattacks, so it is necessary to suppress the rhythm at this time.

This is the same as the principle of many things, and the effect can only be achieved when it is fast or slow.

Back in the second half, neither side made any adjustments in the lineup.

The Warriors came up to attack first. This time Green did not hold the ball at the top of the arc, but ran directly to the bottom corner. After the ball stayed in Curry's hand for a while, it was given to Durant on the other side.

Cole really didn't intend to pretend to be aggressive, and just started playing talented basketball.

Jokic let go of Green to help defend, but because it took time to pass on both sides of the court, Durant relied on hitting George twice at this time, and then turned back directly to the baseline.

George's hard-fought block blocked Durant's vision.

"Shua!"

But Durant still sent the ball steadily into the basket.

As far as shooting control is concerned, Durant is really the only one in history.

The Nets pressed the rhythm to the frontcourt, and Jokic was organized in a high position.

The Warriors are also improving their defensive strength. The ball turned around and couldn't get a chance. The ball was in Irving's hands.

Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and continued to give the ball in after Durant settled down.

Durant continued to hit George with a high back, this time turning around and retreating. George's struggling interference was still full of interference, but Durant still threw the ball in.

This is really starting to make no sense.

The Nets' frontcourt Butler still missed the shot.

After returning from the second half, the pace of the two teams was slow, and the two sides entered the mode of fighting for superstars without knowing it.

In this mode, the Warriors clearly have the advantage.
