The Godfather of Basketball

The Nets are aiming to defend the title, and the Warriors are aiming at revenge. The pre-match training of the two teams is closed, and it can be seen that both sides are very cautious.

Although the outside world is optimistic about the Warriors, last year's experience made it difficult for the Warriors to take it lightly.

Like the calm before the storm, players from both teams declined media interviews, and there was less information about the two teams than ever in the past two days.

Two days later, the finals finally kicked off in Brooklyn.

Barclays Center, Oracle Arena, major TV broadcasting platforms, and the number of viewers have all hit record highs.

How quiet it is while waiting, how exaggerated it is when it comes.

Five-star warrior, Tang Tian's last trip to the finals...

This may be the most watched Finals in NBA history.

Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, the opening ceremony of Barclays Center was monstrous.

The starters of both sides have appeared one after another.

The Warriors are all five stars, with Curry and Thompson on the outside, Durant Gagreen on the striker, and Cousins ​​​​at the center.

The Nets also have a regular lineup, with Irving and Butler on the outside, George and Anthony on the striker, and Jokic on the center.

With the cheers all over the sky, Cousins ​​jumped and beat Jokic, giving the visiting team the opportunity to attack first.

Curry took the ball to the frontcourt to kick off the finals.

The Warriors played their usual off-the-ball tactics at the beginning. Cousins ​​and Green put up two pick-and-rolls for Thompson and Durant, and the two went outside the three-point line.

The Nets switched defenses infinitely, and both Jokic and Anthony switched defenses immediately.

Curry passed the ball to Durant, Durant singled Anthony, and suddenly stepped back.

"Shua!"

Anthony stretched out his hand to interfere, but Durant leaned back and shot high, and still sent the ball into the basket.

In one-on-one defense, except for George and James, no one can really cause him absolute interference.

The Nets attacked the frontcourt, Jokic held the ball outside the three-point line, and Irving used Anthony's pick-and-roll to make a three-pointer.

"Shua!"

The ball is also scored.

The Nets also look pretty good.

Curry missed a three-pointer covered by Cousins ​​in the frontcourt, and Green grabbed an offensive rebound and made a tip-up.

George misplaced to eat Green, and the emergency stop of the breakthrough also made it.

The two teams played quite efficiently after the opening, and the score also continued to rise alternately.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was tied at 38, and the two teams played a highly entertaining confrontation.

In the transition period of the second quarter, both sides have one starter with four substitutes. The Nets have Butler with Murray, Mitchell, Kuzma and Yi Jianlian, and the Warriors with Green with Livingston and Igor. Darla, Randolph and Looney.

Facing Iguodala, Mitchell took his time and assisted Butler and Yi Jianlian to score layups. Randolph suppressed Kuzma inside and succeeded in consecutive strong attacks.

Eight minutes before halftime, the score was tied at 46. This was a crazy output. The two sides were still on the same starting line, and no one could overwhelm the other.

The emotions of the fans at the scene were quite high. Before the game, the outside world said that the Warriors had a good chance of winning, but judging from the current performance of both sides, it is really not necessarily true.

In the second half of the second quarter, the two sides switched back to the main force one after another.

At this time, the Warriors made adjustments on offense.

Thompson and Durant no longer ran without the ball, but fell to the left bottom corner and a 45-degree angle, Green fell to the right bottom corner, Cousins ​​​​sinked low, and Curry held at a 45-degree angle on the right. ball.

Four outside shooters fully pull out the sense of space on the field.

Curry then passed the ball to Cousins, who had a chance to play Jokic one-on-one.

Jokic has lost weight and gained muscle, and he is completely worthwhile against the general insider, but he is a bit uncomfortable facing the tonnage of Cousins.

Turning around after the hard chisel, Cousins ​​turned around and scored after pressing him with his body.

This is standard heavy center play.

The Nets attacked in the frontcourt, Jokic passed the ball to Butler, but Butler hit Thompson's fallback and was disturbed and missed.

After receiving the defensive rebound, the Warriors did not play a fast break, and after slowly advancing to the frontcourt, they settled in the same position.

Jokic didn't sit still with the ball, he sank his weight and put Cousins ​​at the free throw line.

Curry also chose to give the ball in. Cousins ​​took the ball and glanced behind him without double-teaming, and turned around suddenly to kill the basket.

Jokic's block shot.

Cousins ​​dodges and draws Jokic's foul.

There was a commotion at the scene.

Teacher Yue was obviously suppressed.

Cousins ​​made two free throws, and he scored 4 points in a row during this period.

Such a score boosted the morale of the Warriors, and the defensive end defended against the Nets.

After attacking the frontcourt again, Curry also gave the ball to Cousins.

Tang Tian signaled from the sidelines at this time, and Anthony went directly to double-team.

Cousins ​​reacted quickly enough, and when he turned around, he flicked the ball to Green in the corner, who caught the ball and aimed at the frame.

"Shua!"

Green's three-pointer also scored!

There was an uproar at the scene.

The Warriors played a 7-0 offensive in less than two minutes!

This is how they beat the Rockets in the first place. Four shooters ambushed on the outside to open up space, allowing Cousins ​​to gouge inside. Once you double-team, Cousins, as an insider who can pass the ball, will immediately send the ball to In the hands of the shooter, then there is the three-pointer that the Warriors are best at.

As long as the outside shooter feels good, this simple tactic is unsolvable.

George received a pass from Irving from the outside and hit a three-pointer to quench the Nets' thirst, but when Cousins ​​came back and saw that Anthony was not double-teaming, he turned around and attacked the basket and directly hit Jokic with a one-handed dunk.

The Nets are really losing their temper.

Both George and Irving have found their feelings one after another, but they can't do much about the Warriors on the defensive end.

At halftime, the Nets trailed the Warriors by 12 points 58 to 70.

58 points in the half is definitely not a low score, but the Warriors' 70 points are about the same as opening.

And that's not even the third quarter, which the Warriors do best.

"This is simply a rascal!" After watching the game in the second half of the second quarter, Kenny Smith couldn't help shouting.

"This is the finale of the NBA." O'Neal also showed his talent for entertainment, and moved out of the classic argument of the fans.

"The only good news is that the Warriors will not have such a lineup next season." Smith said with a little comfort.

"Hey, Kenny, you can't be so full of words. If there is a salary cut, or the Warriors are willing to pay a luxury tax of hundreds of millions, it will not be a matter of one season." Smith reminded.

Smith and O'Neal glanced at each other and shook their heads speechlessly.

In that way, it will really be the finale of the NBA.

Barkley's words sound like a joke, but if the Warriors win the championship this season, it is really possible.

Another eight consecutive championships after the ancient Celtics?

At the beginning, the Warriors focused on breaking the regular season winning record. They were also a group of people, and nothing was impossible.
