The Godfather of Basketball

"Coach, LeBron's contract expires in the summer. We know that the Cavaliers have been eliminated for the third consecutive year, and the current Nets are unable to win in the Eastern Conference. In this case, there is a high probability that he will not stay with the team. Where will you go?" A reporter raised a sensitive topic.

"Then you have to ask LeBron, I'm not a roundworm in his stomach."

Tang Tian's answer made the press conference burst into laughter.

"But I hope to play against him again in the playoffs. Competitiveness is a passionate sport."

In the previous life, James went to the Lakers after the contract ended. From brother basketball to hometown basketball to family basketball, every step of James was controversial, but the current situation is different from his previous life. James did not prove himself in Cleveland. His next step Choice no one knows.

Perhaps the final result will not be known until the free market in the summer.

The Nets swept the Cavaliers 4-0 and advanced to the finals first.

And the Warriors didn't make them wait any longer. After returning to Oakland, Durant scored 38 points, blowing up the Rockets' striker, and helping the Warriors escape the Rockets 4-2, getting closer to the finals .

After some twists and turns, the Nets Warriors 3.0 matchup that fans are most looking forward to finally came as they wished.

"During the last Nets Warriors finals, I was still in the first year of high school, and now I am about to take the college entrance examination."

"My condolences to the college entrance examination brothers. This year is definitely an epic finals. The four-star Nets will play against the four-star Warriors. There is no more crazy finals than this."

"I've already asked for leave at work, and I don't want to miss a second of such a peak duel!"

...

Fans are looking forward to the strongest finals.

Because the Nets rank first in the league in the regular season, they have home court advantage in the finals, and the game will start in Brooklyn.

With a three-day gap between the conference finals and the finals, the Warriors flew to Brooklyn after a day of recuperation in Oakland.

Cole is full of confidence in the team's defending title, and the pre-match training is open to the public.

The four-star status looks very good, especially Durant, who has averaged close to 28 points per game so far in the playoffs, and is the player with the highest scoring average per game except James.

After daily training, Cole was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

"We know that the Warriors' record in the regular season is not particularly good this year due to injuries, and the road to the playoffs is not as smooth as the Nets. Under such circumstances, do you have confidence in defending the title?"

"Of course." Cole replied with certainty.

"Like you said, we've had a lot of injuries in the past, Steph (Curry) missed the first two rounds, Andre (Iguodala) didn't play the entire series with the Rockets, but now They are all healthy, that's the biggest confidence."

"The Nets are your old opponents. Last season, the team won the championship by defeating them. This season they have upgraded their lineup. How will you deal with it? Or have you prepared any special moves?" The reporter went on asked.

"We don't need special moves, we just need to fight according to the routine." Cole was very calm.

"Why?"

"They have improved their talent, but our talent is still higher, and we have run in for two seasons, and their core players have only played together this season." Kerr explained.

Talent and tacit understanding are higher than those of the Nets. No wonder Cole's attitude is so optimistic.

After Cole's remarks were reported by the media, most fans chose to take over. Except for Jokic, the Nets will have an advantage in the center position. In other positions, Irving vs. Curry, Butler vs. Thompson, George vs. Duo Rand and Yi Jianlian have no advantage or disadvantage against Green.

Even if the Nets have the most advantageous bench, Rondo vs. Livingston, Mitchell vs. Iguodala, Tucker vs. West, and Oden vs. McGee, it will be difficult to occupy as much as in previous rounds. to cheap.

However, many fans who support the Nets do not agree with this point of view. The Nets' system is team basketball. If you can't handle Durant and Curry's shooting rights well, the Nets' strength in the game will not be worse than the Warriors.

Those who refute these fans feel that the Warriors play unlimited air cuts, which is also a team basketball. In this regard, the Nets have no advantage at all, and the Warriors have Durant, and their finishing ability is obviously more stable.

The discussion of fans before the game is a beautiful landscape in the NBA, and this year they have encountered the strongest finals, which is only a lot more than in previous years.

On the contrary, the Nets looked very low-key before the game.

They are the defending champions, their strength is better than ours, we must go all out...

Tang Tian kept a low profile before the match.

Sometimes poisonous milk, sometimes pretentious, sometimes low-key, sometimes self-reliant flag, the longer you get in touch, the less you know what Tang Tian will say before the game.

On the day of the game, many warm-up activities were held outside the Barclays Center. Although the temperature was not low that day, the enthusiasm of the fans to participate was quite high.

Everyone is already eager for the upcoming finals.

In the afternoon, the players of the home and away teams blocked the arena one after another. Some photos of the players taken by the reporter in the garage were circulated, and the finals were imminent.

When the time came to an hour before the game, the Barclays Center was already crowded with people.

After the pre-match warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the explosive cheers showed that the fans couldn't wait.

The Warriors' starters took the lead, and Cole did not use the dead five in the opening game, but put on a regular lineup.

Curry and Thompson are on the outside, Durant and Green are on the front line, and Looney is the center.

The Nets also have a regular lineup, with Irving and Butler on the outside, George and Yi Jianlian on the front, and Jokic on the center.

Rooney and Yi Jianlian made a jump ball, Yi Jianlian easily returned the ball to the Nets' half court, Irving advanced with the ball, and the Nets took the lead in attacking.

Jokic dropped low when he reached the frontcourt, and Irving flicked the ball in.

Tang Tian knew the advantages and disadvantages of the two teams in the matchup, so he seized the advantage and acted first.

Jokic caught the ball and played back, but the Warriors' weak side Green's help defense came quickly.

Jokic sent the ball out, and Yi Jianlian shot the ball.

"Shua!"

Just vote for it.

Although Yi Jianlian has dropped a lot in the team's low position due to the upgrade of the team's talent, his ability to seize opportunities is still very stable.

Curry dribbles upfield and gives the ball straight to Durant.

Durant hit George with his back, swaying back and forth jumpers continuously.

Durant is tall and has long arms, but George is not bad, and his long arms still interfere.

"boom!"

Durant's shot was disturbed.

There were bursts of cheers at the scene, and the Nets opened the game with full momentum of offense and defense!
