The Godfather of Basketball

After shaking their heads, Smith and O'Neal looked at the exiting Nets players.

To a certain extent, whether the NBA can be filled with suspense again depends on whether the Nets can prevent the Warriors from winning the championship.

"We have to find a way to target them." Frank said impatiently in the office.

If they can't find a way to deal with the Warriors' five-star lineup, then the game process in the second quarter will be a microcosm, and the series will end after the first game.

"What can we do? Their internal and external lineup is the strongest, and we are facing the strongest team in history." Rogers said helplessly from the side.

Frank glanced at Rogers, then sighed. He was also anxious, but there was really nothing he could do.

"Remove both Nicholas and Melo." Tang Tian glanced at his two assistant coaches and said.

"Nicholas?" Frank and Rogers looked at Tang Tian in surprise.

"Although Cousins ​​is fast, he won't be able to keep up if he runs and fights. This is the only weakness of this Warriors team." Tang Tian continued.

Both Frank and Rogers had a realization.

The Warriors gave up their death five because they had Cousins, but if the Nets speed up and Cousins ​​can't keep up with the rhythm of both sides, Cole will be forced to restart the death five!

In fact, this has been verified by both the Mavericks and the Rockets. Although they were eventually eliminated, they were able to steal two victories from the Warriors by speeding up their defensive counterattacks.

Back in the second half, the Warriors still had a five-star lineup, and the Nets made adjustments. Anthony and Jokic didn't play, and they were replaced by Mitchell and Yi Jianlian.

This is not the big and four small teams that the Nets are best at, but a completely pure five small lineup.

"Don is getting a little confused. This lineup will make the Nets' inside line full of holes." Barkley couldn't help shaking his head when he saw this adjustment.

"Yes, speaking of which, this is Lu's favorite. Don't you think Lu has changed?" O'Neill teased with a smile.

During the speech, the second half of the game between the two teams has already started.

Irving accelerated to the frontcourt and missed a three-pointer, but Curry turned around and scored a layup.

The point difference was stretched to 14 points.

Irving continued to quickly advance to the frontcourt, and George came out to catch the ball and shoot.

"boom!"

I voted and still didn't get in.

Barkley and O'Neill shook their heads in the commentary booth.

If this continues, they are estimated to see a whole quarter of garbage time in the fourth quarter.

The Warriors counterattacked again. This time, Curry passed Green in seconds, but Green shot was caught by George, and he was chased directly.

Butler followed up and grabbed the defensive rebound, and the Nets turned around and played a defensive counterattack.

The Warriors couldn't keep up with the speed at this time, especially Cousins, who just got out of the backcourt free throw line after halftime for the Nets.

Irving and George played two-on-one in the frontcourt. George made a layup and made Durant's thug foul.

George made an additional free throw to narrow the point difference to 11 points.

Curry gave the ball to Cousins ​​in the frontcourt, and George assisted in the defense. The ball went to Green and passed it to Durant.

A familiar round, but this time Durant chose to step back for a three-pointer.

"boom!"

Durant's three-pointer missed, Yi Jianlian didn't jump inside at all, struggling to block Cousins, and Butler rushed down the defensive rebound.

The Nets counterattacked again. Irving raided the frontcourt and then scored the ball to George who followed up. George followed up with a layup and scored.

The point difference came to 9 points!

There were cheers at the scene, and after the Nets came up in the second half, they completely brought the game into their rhythm.

Cole also realized what the Nets were going to do at this time, and got up and signaled Curry to suppress the rhythm.

Curry advanced to the frontcourt and signaled Cousins ​​to drop down.

As long as the Warriors can score the ball and the Nets can't play a defensive counterattack, then the Nets will suffer from this lineup.

Yi Jianlian knew that he couldn't stand Cousins, so he directly chose to go forward.

Curry saw it and threw the ball directly over the basket.

Cousins ​​turns and jumps up for the lob.

But Yi Jianlian also saw it. After catching up, he jumped up to interfere.

Cousins' ankle injury has recovered by 70% to 80%, but he is not fully recovered after all. After confronting Yi Jianlian in the air, he failed to hold the ball, and Curry's pass directly turned into a mistake and went out of bounds.

The cheers were even louder.

The Nets attacked the frontcourt, Yi Jianlian missed the ball from mid-range, and the rebound was accepted by Cousins.

The Warriors still did not speed up under Cole's reminder. After attacking the frontcourt, Curry continued to prepare to give the ball to Cousins, and Yi Jianlian continued to move forward.

Curry didn't pass directly to the big this time, but passed a lob.

Cousins ​​caught the ball, but George's help defense had also come over, and Yi Jianlian came directly to a hamburger sandwich.

Cousins ​​couldn't exert his strength, and his raised shot was not flexible, and the ball jumped straight out after it was released.

At this time, Butler rushed inside to receive the defensive rebound, and the Nets played a defensive counterattack.

After receiving the ball, Irving turned around and ran, looking back at the moon and giving the ball to Yi Jianlian who followed up. The latter made a shot and caused a foul by Green's thug.

After making two free throws, the Nets have narrowed the point difference to 7 points!

Cole held up his hand for a timeout.

In this period, Cousins' offensive role was not brought into play. On the contrary, it was because the Warriors couldn't keep up with the retreat and the defense was not enough, which completely became a burden.

After the timeout, the Warriors made substitution adjustments, and Iguodala came on to replace Cousins. This is the death five again.

"yes!"

Seeing the Warriors' substitutions, both Frank and Rogers couldn't help but reach out and clenched their fists.

This is the result Tang Tian wanted in the midfield arrangement. As long as Cousins ​​is played, the game will not be a problem for the Nets.

You must know that when there was no Cousins ​​in the opening game, the Nets beat the Warriors bloody!

Yi Jianlian and Mitchell were called back, and Anthony and Jokic were replaced.

Curry took the ball to the frontcourt, the Warriors played a pick-and-roll, Curry gave the ball to Durant, who made a mid-range pull-up.

The Warriors bench cheered.

Curry and Durant also smiled and stretched out their hands while retreating. This is their familiar style of play.

But back on the defensive end, Jokic also scored when he played Green in the low post.

After Cousins ​​went down, he had an obvious advantage in playing Green in the paint!

The Warriors also speeded up, and Curry rushed to the frontcourt and missed a three-pointer.

But Jokic can keep up with the speed on the court, turning around and grabbing long rebounds.

The Nets attacked the frontcourt, and Jokic continued to play back in the low post. After attracting Iguodala's double-team, the ball was given to George, who dribbled a step to the middle distance and scored.

There were endless cheers at the scene, and they seemed to have seen the scene where the team played the Warriors at the beginning of the season again.

Kerr woke up Cousins ​​and prepared to let him play again.

But just as Cousins ​​got up, Yi Jianlian and Mitchell also walked to the technical stage...
