The Godfather of Basketball

The feeling of the fans is not groundless.

As soon as the Warriors came back from halftime, Curry and Thompson began to bombard indiscriminately. The two worked together to score 3 three-pointers from the outside.

However, for the Nets, Deron and Gordon broke through and scored consecutively, which did not let the Nets fall behind too much.

Moreover, Tang Tian also immediately made adjustments on the sidelines, replacing man-to-man with a 3-2 zone defense, and shifting the focus of defense to the outside of the three-point line.

The Warriors missed a few three-pointers in a row, and the offensive center began to deliberately cut to the basket. Green, Barnes, and Iguodala are all good players.

However, Yi Jianlian's role on the defensive end also began to be highlighted immediately, no less than Green's moving speed, excellent height and wingspan and good ball quotient. His help defense blocked many offensive routes of the Warriors.

This has completely become his personal strength show.

And Butler's contribution on the defensive end is also remarkable.

In the previous life, due to the indiscriminate bombing of the Warriors, its opponents were accidentally brought into the ditch to play against each other, and the game ended quickly.

But in fact, the Warriors' offense is also very afraid of high-intensity defense. Curry can score with a few blind throws, but if his teammates are restricted, his defensive pressure will increase. Not to mention accuracy, even the chances of making shots will decrease. a lot of.

The Warriors' offense was limited, but so was their defense, and Kerr was a direct beneficiary of the defensive culture Mark Jackson built for this team.

The two teams have changed from a confrontation in the first half to a defensive battle in the second half. The systems of the two teams have nothing under the high-intensity defense of the opponent, and they are all relying on the personal ability of the stars to solve the problem.

The combination of Deron and Gordon is not much weaker than the Splash Brothers who rely on pick-and-rolls in one-on-one offense and defense on the offensive end.

After the third quarter, the score on the court was 82 to 83. Not only did the Warriors not clock in for three quarters, they also fell behind the Nets by 1 point.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Booker scored a 3-pointer against Biao Thompson. The Nets really brought the team's tenacity to the extreme.

No matter how the Warriors try to open up the score, the Nets are able to hold on tight.

And with such a high-intensity fight, the further back you hit, the greater the physical disadvantage of the Warriors fighting back-to-back.

With the last 2 minutes left, the score was 101 to 97, and the Nets led the Warriors by 4 points!

None of the fans at the scene were sitting.

At this moment, their emotions are unprecedentedly high. The Nets really want to win, and they can really win!

With the Warriors winning consecutive battles and making great strides towards 33 consecutive victories, the Warriors' winning has become a kind of inertia.

Just like the "Magic Shark" lineup of the Cavaliers at the beginning, waking up is not only a big victory, but also a three-quarter punch card to get off work.

But now the sky has really changed, the Nets still have the advantage now!

As Cole said, this is indeed the most difficult game of the Warriors season.

"Defend! Defend!"

Driven by the live DJ, the fans also shouted loudly to cheer for the home team.

The players on the Nets defended with all their strength, directly forcing Curry to the midfield, and the defensive intensity was still amazing.

Kerr shouted commands in the other half, clearly showing anxiety for the first time this season.

He was the champion when he debuted, and he had the same start as Tang Tian, ​​and as Tang Tian's subordinate in the past, he said that it was impossible for him not to prove something.

It is even said that the strength of the Warriors is far better than the Nets. If they lose, it will definitely become a psychological lump or even an obstacle for him.

The Warriors do have physical problems, and the quality of the continuous pick-and-rolls is declining. The Warriors are really forced to do nothing.

Curry couldn't get rid of Deron's close defense even though he was dribbling the ball. Seeing that the time was running out, he was at least four meters away from the three-point line, and directly threw it against Deron's defense.

This is really a few throws.

"boom!"

The distance was too far, and it was a high-pressure defense. The ball was obviously a little short, and it bounced off the front edge of the backboard.

But when it fell the second time, it went in!

There was an uproar at the scene.

This is also possible!

Curry raised his hands high, and God really stood behind him at this moment.

Tang Tian didn't call a timeout, and Delong also showed the psychological quality of a top point guard, calling on his teammates to maintain their mentality.

The Nets' frontcourt offense and the system couldn't play, and Deron directly started to eat Curry raw.

Curry's defense is the weakness of the Warriors. Now he was pushed inside, Green was forced to come over to help defend, and Deron threw his hand to Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian made a direct shot and was interfered by Bogut. He directly hoisted the ball to the basket, and Jokic caught the ball and wanted to dunk.

Green showed his top defensive ability at this time, and he made up for it abruptly. Jokic was disturbed when he dunked, and the ball missed the dunk.

The Warriors really turned into an Iron Triangle in this period, keeping the Nets out of the gate abruptly.

But at this moment, a figure rushed in from the outside line. After jumping up, he grabbed the bounced basketball and went straight back into Green, dunking the ball into the basket!

Jimmy Butler!

When everyone focused on Deron, Gordon and even Jokic, Butler was inadvertently ignored!

Although the defense is stronger than the offense, Butler's offensive ability is now quasi-All-Star level!

This supplementary deduction perfectly shows the physical fitness!

Kerr called another timeout.

At this time, there is less than 1 minute left in the game, and it is really a matter of life and death.

After the timeout, the Warriors replaced Bogut with Iguodala and played the dead five.

Butler's supplementary dunk gave the Nets another 3-point lead, and the Warriors were going to score a three-pointer at this time.

The small lineup is obviously better than before in terms of movement speed and pick-and-roll effect. Curry and Thompson both ran out of opportunities, but Yi Jianlian kept waving his hands up and down to interfere with Green's vision, and the ball failed to pass!

There were cheers everywhere.

Time passed bit by bit, and Curry knew that it was impossible to run backwards to get out of the opportunity, so he ran directly outside the three-point line to catch the ball, but he was forced to three meters away from the three-point line as soon as he received the ball.

The Nets really don't give a chance.

Not only that, but Butler even double-teamed him at the first time, which means that he will not let the shot be killed!

Curry can't help it, but his passing awareness is excellent, and his ball speed is the fastest in the league.

Before Butler double-teamed in place, he made a beautiful flick and the ball flew straight to Barnes at a 45-degree angle on the right wing, who is now in a completely open state.

There are bound to be missed people in double-teaming, and Barnes is the one who was selectively given up.

The Warriors' attack time was running out, and Barnes didn't have much time to adjust after receiving the ball. He glanced at the basket and threw it out.
