The Godfather of Basketball

On June 11, US time, after a 3-day break, the Warriors and Nets moved to Oakland, ushering in the sixth game of the Finals.

The college entrance examination has passed. For young fans, this is their biggest benefit after the college entrance examination. They have set their alarm clocks early and can't wait to watch it.

The same is true for fans in New York. They have already bought tickets to the Barclays Center. Even if they are just watching the broadcast live, it does not hinder their support for the home team.

Three consecutive finals, defeating the 73-win Warriors two years ago, the Nets are now more popular in New York than the Knicks next door.

After Tang Tian led the team to complete the final training before the match, he also stood on the sidelines and waited for the arrival of the sixth match.

At this moment, local reporters in the bay area spotted Tang Tian standing on the sidelines, and came over to do a temporary interview with him.

Tang Tian was fine standing still, so he accepted it.

"Judging from the predictions before the game, the Warriors have an advantage in many aspects in this game. Has the team made any special responses?"

"Advantage?" Tang Tian glanced at the reporter.

"Yes, the Warriors have found the most suitable style of play for them, and they are playing at home. This is not an advantage."

"En." Tang Tian nodded, the Warriors took advantage of the right time and place.

"So what's your response?"

"No." Tang Tian shook his head. At this stage of the game, both sides know the bottom line. Any adjustments are superfluous. What the head coach can do is to call timeouts and substitutions in a timely manner according to the situation on the court. The rest depends on the situation. The players played.

"No? Wouldn't you feel nervous? Or is the team ready to devote their energy to the tiebreaker?" The reporter seemed surprised, thinking that Tang Tian didn't want to reveal it to the outside world.

"Nervous?" Tang Tian smiled and shook his head.

"We will not give up the game. In fact, we are not nervous. This is our match point, isn't it?" Tang Tian asked back with a smile.

The reporter froze for a moment, then felt a little faint.

No matter how the outside world predicts and is optimistic, this is the match point game for the Blue Nets after all. If the Warriors lose, there will be no next game.

When the reporter was in a daze, the staff over there had already signaled the team to leave the field, and the opening ceremony was about to begin.

Tang Tian greeted the reporter, and then walked back to the Blue Nets' half.

The passionate background music, the high-pitched DJ, and the enthusiastic fans at the scene made Oracle Arena boil from the very beginning.

The starters of the two teams appeared one after another amid the cheers.

Both sides did not make any changes in the starting lineup. Just like Tang Tian thought, the outcome of the game now depends more on the player's state.

The opening ceremony ended, and the two teams made last-minute arrangements.

Tang Tian didn't take the tactical board, but gave a short chicken soup encouragement to the players.

"Go! Go and win your championship, tonight, the Nets!"

"champion!"

The team members shouted, with Tang-style chicken soup, regardless of their strength, they will never lose to their opponents in terms of morale.

The starters of the two teams walked to the midfield, and with Jokic and Durant jumping high, the sixth game of the finals officially started.

Durant jumped and turned the ball back to the Warriors' half, and the home team got the first chance to attack.

Curry advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Iguodala, letting him stand outside the three-point line.

The Warriors made a slight tactical adjustment.

Thompson and Curry ran a three-pointer through the pick-and-roll, Durant went to the bottom corner after the block, and Green went to the basket after the block.

This is a very Warriors offense.

The players of the Nets have long been used to it. Butler successfully snatched Durant, but Wade was blocked when he passed Green. Green had a relatively obvious mobile pick-and-roll.

The referee didn't blow the whistle. Thompson came out to receive a pass from Iguodala and shot a quick three-pointer.

"Shua!"

Tang Tian stood up and yelled at the referee twice, indicating that it was a moving pick and roll, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the cheers from the scene.

The referee did not respond other than to signal him to return to the bench.

Irving took the ball to the frontcourt and called George to play a pick-and-roll.

At this time, Curry obviously moved forward to press forward. This is not like giving easy misplacement opportunities like he did on the court.

Owen and George tried twice without success and had to pull back.

Halfway through the offensive time, he chose to single-handedly attack Curry, and after continuously changing directions to open up space for himself, he made an accelerated breakthrough, and after reaching the basket, he leaned on Curry's lever for a layup.

The ball was very difficult, and there was still a confrontation between Curry and Curry in the air, but Irving still managed to get the ball into the basket.

In terms of offensive talent, Irving is also super giant.

After the ball was scored, Irving signaled that Curry was pressing, but the referee ignored it.

The Warriors attacked the frontcourt, and Curry asked Durant for a pick-and-roll.

Following Durant's transition from the bench, the offense has changed from a system to focus on individual singles by stars, and now the hole card Dooku pick-and-roll, Cole is really giving everything he has.

Wade wanted to hide or not, Curry switched to George, and the ball went to Durant.

Durant hit Wade head-on, took the ball and rushed in, and made a layup that caused Wade's thugs.

Tang Tian frowned slightly.

The referee's penalty in this period was not very friendly to the Nets. Although Tang Tian had already urged Xiao Hua to put pressure on the referee union during the regular meeting of the league board of directors, some marginal penalties that could be awarded or not were unreasonable.

Durant made two free throws and the Warriors started 5-2.

"Defend! Defend!"

The Warriors' offensive momentum is in full swing, and the scene also began to cheer for the Warriors led by the DJ.

Owen attacked the frontcourt, signaled Jokic to give the ball in after falling high, and started to play a systematic offense.

George and Irving interspersed with air cuts and ran back. Irving threw off Green and got a good layup opportunity.

Jokic flicked the ball for the first time, and the ball was in Irving's hands. Irving made a quick three-step layup.

At this moment, Green came from behind, and the interference of jumping directly hit Owen's hand.

Irving's shot went wide, but the referee didn't blow his whistle.

Between the flashes, Green took the rebound, the Warriors played a fast break directly, and Curry caught the ball in the frontcourt and scored a quick layup.

7 to 2!

Tang Tian stood up abruptly and signaled to the referee that Green was going to fight.

Compared with the previous penalties, this penalty is an obvious omission.

But the referee just shook his head and didn't intend to change the sentence.

Tang Wei cursed and was returned to the bench by Frank.

Sitting back on the bench, the anger was still there. Originally, he hoped that the offensive referee would blow it back, but another pick-and-roll move by Green was ignored, and Tang Tiantian almost fell to the tactical board.

In the past, the right time and place were already occupied by the Warriors, but now the scale and tendency of whistleblowing are taking people and harmony.

It is really difficult for the Nets to win this game.
