This Forward is Not Serious

The first few rounds of the game became a microcosm of the first half of both sides.

Jokic is thriving in the paint.

The Warriors also flanked him, but in the end they were helpless to find that Jokic's passing was more threatening than his scoring.

This is also very different from the match at the beginning of the season.

The increased tactical status has allowed Jokic's strength to improve rapidly.

However, even so, the Nets did not take advantage.

Because the Warriors' three-point shots are so accurate.

Curry successfully demonstrated his outside deterrence with two three-pointers in the opening game.

And more importantly than making a shot, his three-point shooting range is too far, so far that he enters the shooting range after passing the center line.

Because the no-handcheck rule is now implemented, this means that if the Nets want to defend him, they must expand their defense very far outside.

This ultimate spatial ability is the real reason why Curry can lead the small ball era.

Thompson also showed his ability as a top off-ball scorer, running out to receive passes from Curry or Green, and hitting consecutive three-pointers.

Coupled with Curry's stirring without the ball, the Nets' defense was completely dismembered in the first half.

This is no longer directly related to the strength of an individual soldier's defensive ability, but requires the construction of a defensive system.

The Nets obviously can't do this all at once, they can only let the defense continue to expand, while the Warriors take advantage of opportunities to continuously raid the Nets' basket.

At the end of the first half, the Warriors led the Nets by 12 points, 62-50.

The two sides entered the intermission, and the fans at the scene were restless.

Like Durant, they had just woken up from the dream and knew that tonight they were facing a team that had started with a 24-game winning streak.

Over at the commentary box, O'Neal looked happy.

It’s been so long since he’s partnered with Barkley to commentate. He’s been holding back for so long that he and Barkley have been exchanging blows for half the game.

But the content of their exchanges is interesting.

Barkley took on his 40-year-old identity, while O'Neal became the No. 1 netizen.

It wasn't halftime, and the two were still arguing.

"Shaq, listen to me, the game is over. The Warriors are going to extend their winning streak to 25 games. They can't be beaten!"

Buckley sounded determined.

"It's only halftime, man. We all know how the Nets are playing now. They're just warming up in the first half. Their real big move comes in the third quarter. You know, 'Brooklyn time.' Don't tell me." Didn’t know, damn, you’re a team consultant for the Nets now!”

O'Neal's reply was reasonable.

"But the Warriors also have the 'Yong Three Crazy'. They can always quickly open up the score in the third quarter. Even if they are tied in the third quarter, don't forget that the Warriors already led by 12 points at halftime. This is who they are. The biggest advantage, Shaq, is that you have to trust the judgment of a man with 40 years of experience."

How could Barkley not understand football?

These words directly made O'Neal burst out laughing.

He found that he still couldn't stand up to Barkley as before.

In the end, he could only use his ultimate move.

"Charles, you are on the Nets now. Don't tell me that you went to Brooklyn just to get a runner-up trophy. I'm sorry, there is no trophy for the runner-up."

As soon as O'Neill said this, the audience watching the live broadcast burst into laughter. These two people must be particularly popular when they talk about cross talk.

…

Trailing by 12 points at halftime was very similar to their previous game against the Lakers.

However, it is precisely because of their previous experience that the Nets players were relatively relaxed in the locker room during the halftime break.

From this we can see how rich experience Lin Ying has accumulated playing in the NBA in the past few years.

Only teams that have beaten headwinds and won against headwinds will have the real strength to compete for the championship.

If the combined Nets can do it for the first time, they will naturally have the opportunity to do it a second time, even if the opponent is the Warriors.

And although the Warriors are stronger than the Lakers, Karl stuck to his strategy in the first half, which allowed "Brooklyn time" to work in the third quarter.

Just as Barkley and O'Neal argued in the commentary box, the third quarter will be the most intense quarter of the game between the two sides tonight.

It depends on who of the two sides can have the upper hand in this game.

The second half of the game was about to start. Before leaving the locker room, Lin Ying grabbed Bradley.

"Avery, whether we can turn the game around or not, it's all up to you."

Bradley instantly felt tremendous pressure.

But he also knew the reason why Lin Ying said that.

The key to the "Brave Three Madnesses" is Curry. Only by suppressing Curry's performance can it be possible to catch up or even overtake the score.

"I'll tie myself to him."

Bradley spoke.

"I trust you."

Lin Ying reached out and patted Bradley on the shoulder.

Curry is different from James, Kobe, and Anthony. He can't switch defenses.

Therefore, he and Durant can go all out on the offensive end, but whether the defensive end can limit the performance of Curry and the "Splash Brothers" depends on the performance of the team's two backcourts on the defensive end.

After all, as O'Neal said, if neither side can guard the other, the Warriors' halftime lead will be maintained until the end.

Back from the intermission, the enthusiasm of Nets fans is still there.

Although they are lagging behind, they all know "Brooklyn time", which has become their belief, and they will eventually complete the comeback.

And at this moment, the on-site photographer took some close-up shots of the auditorium, and the KT board held high by one of the fans was projected onto the large LED screen, which looked particularly eye-catching.

That also drew a burst of cheers from the fans at the scene.

Because there are clearly two lines of words written on it.

Nets 21-2, Warriors 24-1.

Before tonight, the Nets' record was 20 wins and 2 losses, while the Warriors were 24 wins and 0 losses. This obviously means that the Nets will win tonight.

It's just that this way of expressing numbers is more visual, as if making predictions in advance.

The camera turned back to the field. Players from both sides had returned to the field after the half-time break.

Neither side made any adjustments to their starting lineup. After returning from the second half, the Nets attacked first.

Walton looked at the court intently at this time.

The Nets play too many tactics, and their opponents will also study and target them.

Walton made a very targeted strategic deployment in the midfield.

Although it is impossible to completely prevent the Texas Twins from dying, it can be restricted to a large extent.

However, the Nets' tactical positioning after advancing to the frontcourt stunned him.

Karl predicted his prediction, and instead of following his usual tactics, he started fighting directly...

Singles tactics!

The space opened up, Bradley gave the ball at a 45-degree angle, and after passing it in, Lin Ying used the back door to clear the strong side.

Then Lin Ying started to hit him from behind immediately.

And his back attack is also very fast. After a back attack, he fakes a turn and then turns back toward the baseline.

Barnes, who was guarding him, rushed forward with all his strength, but with his defensive ability, it was obviously difficult to interfere with Lin Ying enough.

"Uh-huh!"

Lin Ying took the lead and scored a goal.

At this time, Walton got up directly from the bench and walked to the sidelines, and then motioned for the team to advance quickly.

The Warriors are basically unable to defend against the Nets' style of play, because Lin Ying and Durant's attack range covers the entire half.

And you may not be able to defend against a flanking attack by two people, but if there are three people on the weak side, the weak side will be completely open, and the other person will definitely punish them.

For example, if three of them were to defend Lin Ying's singles right now, Durant would shoot them down on the weak side in minutes.

So the best way is to attack with offense. They now hold a double-digit lead, and Curry is crazy in the third quarter.

When he advanced to the frontcourt, Curry used Green's pick-and-roll to try a three-pointer one meter away from the three-point line.

His rate of fire was still fast enough, but his shot was not that comfortable this time.

Because Green failed to block Bradley this time, the moment he took action, Bradley pounced on him and interfered with him.

"Dang!"

Curry's super long three-pointer missed the basket!

After successfully defending, Bradley was very calm and rushed forward immediately.

At this time, Lin Ying grabbed a long rebound in the backcourt and made a long throw.

Bradley caught the ball and made a flying layup before Curry could catch up.

62 to 54!

The Nets scored 4 points in a row as soon as they started, quickly closing the point difference to single digits.

This put the Barclays Center into a boil.

The hands have been set, and "Brooklyn Time" is on!

After Curry arrived in the frontcourt, he ran without the ball. His continuous "8" movements and sudden reverse cuts did not get a chance.

Bradley clung to him!

The fans at the scene were excited, and the defense was so endearing.

And many fans feel that Walken Dean's original deal was far-sighted.

Although they also like Butler very much, Butler is limited by his physical condition and size, and it is obviously impossible for him to impose such restrictions on Curry on the defensive end!

And there's no need to worry about Bradley's physical fitness, because the Nets also have Joseph on the bench!

However, the Warriors' tacit understanding is really good. Although Curry was very troubled, he finally used Green's moving screen to run out of the opportunity to catch the ball before the buzzer.

The referee did not blow the whistle. Curry hit the buzzer once but had a good opportunity to take the shot.

"Dang!"

But with a muffled sound, he missed two consecutive three-pointers in the second half!

Bradley's defense definitely put a lot of pressure on Curry, but it can also be seen that after the halftime break, Curry's three-point touch has dropped!

This is also normal. Even mid-range shots will have ups and downs in shooting percentage, let alone three-pointers!

Curry's performance is phenomenal, but under huge defensive pressure, he cannot avoid such ups and downs.

The Nets advanced to the frontcourt, and Lin Ying continued to play singles with the ball. This time, Barnes pressed his entire body forward, trying to prevent Lin Ying from turning around.

After Lin Ying felt it, he directly changed to face the frame. After sweeping away the three threats, he took a direct shot and caused a defensive foul on Barnes.

Two consecutive rounds show one thing, it is unrealistic to defend Lin Ying alone.

And the reason why Karl suddenly changed tactics can also be found.

The "Brave Three Crazy" relies on Curry's unreasonable three-pointers, and many of Curry's three-pointers are long-range three-pointers in transition between offense and defense, because in that case the defense can easily lose position.

Because the Gemini's singles efficiency is high, this arrangement can not only bring out the abilities of the two, but also suppress the rhythm of the game.

Lin Ying made two free throws and the point difference was reduced to 6 points.

"Dang!"

Thompson's outside three-point shot missed!

The core of the "Splash Brothers" is Curry. If Curry can't score points and attract flankers, Thompson's chances will not be good.

The Nets advanced to the frontcourt position battle, and Lin Ying continued to play singles with the ball.

This time the Warriors started a three-man team.

At this time, it must be said that the Warriors' tacit understanding is indeed high enough. The two of them went up to defend, and one of them pinched Lin to pass the ball to Durant.

Lin Ying saw the latter turn around and made a fake move. After turning around, he passed the ball to Jokic at the top of the key.

Once this kind of flanking attack comes up, as long as the ball is released quickly, no matter how disciplined it is, it will be useless.

Green went to make up for Jokic, but Jokic didn't take a shot. Instead, he immediately passed the ball to Durant on the weak side.

Durant took a three-point shot before Pachulia could get in position.

"Uh-huh!"

The knife falls from the hand!

The point difference is only 3 points!

Walton reached out and called a timeout.

There were endless cheers and whistles.

No one can beat them on "Brooklyn Time"!

"Now I admit that George Karl has something in his belly. My grandma can't do this."

Over at the commentary box, O'Neal sighed after reading this paragraph.

It is true that anyone can abuse someone with a full-level number in their hands. Only in this kind of high-level duel can the strength of the coach be reflected.

Barkley on the side did not answer, but his eyes unconsciously looked towards the Warriors' half.

The Warriors' best "Five Deaths" haven't been used yet.

In other words, the real showdown between "Yong San Crazy" and "Brooklyn Time" has not yet begun.

After the timeout, the Warriors made substitution adjustments, and Iguodala came on to replace Pachulia.

If Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrive, the "Five Little Deaths" will come just as soon as they say it!

The timeout returns the Warriors' possession of the ball.

It's still a position, but the Warriors' tactical movement is obviously accelerating, and the ball's conduction is also getting faster.

Just when the Nets' defense was being restrained, Thompson suddenly cut back to the basket. Green's pass came to Thompson's layup!

This round is crucial.

Green also clapped hard with both hands while retreating, and then cheered his teammates at the top of his voice.

The Nets advanced to the frontcourt. Under Lin Ying's signal, Jokic leaned against Green in the low post to ask for the ball.

A low post, the Warriors chose to help defend before Jokic took a shot.

This worked because of the mobility of the lineup.

Jokic's shot was interfered with and hit the frame, and the rebound was picked off by Green.

After Green's long pass, the Warriors quickly counterattacked. Curry dribbled the ball past the logo, picked it up two meters away from the three-point line and threw it!

Only Curry dared to do this at this distance, and it was too late for Bradley to react.

The basketball is like a long-range cruise missile, drawing a high parabola in the air.

"Uh-huh!"

Right in the center of the basket!

"Yong San Crazy" is here!
