The Godfather of Basketball

The Nets attacked the frontcourt again, and Green confiscated it this time. Gordon avoided Curry's low-handed layup and scored.

6 to 6, the Nets tied the score.

The faces of the fans at the scene were a little anxious. The Warriors were not as ruined as most people said. The competitiveness of the Nets on the field proved why they were able to enter the finals.

The Nets' strategy throughout their offensive and defensive ends has not changed, that is, to play Curry, to not give the Splash Brothers a chance, to bet on the Warriors' inaccurate shots at other points.

More than 8 minutes into the first quarter, the score on the court was 18 to 11. The Nets turned away and established a 7-point lead in the opening game.

They bet right.

Barnes made 0 of 3 shots from outside the three-point line, and Thompson missed two of his defensive shots. Only Curry made a difficult ultra-long three-pointer.

The Warriors were pinched seven inches and couldn't exert their strength.

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Kerr called Iguodala up early and let him play to replace Bogut.

The Warriors cast their five small lineups.

The biggest function of the five minors is the space on the offensive end, which is very similar to the Nets' offensive routine. Green stepped outside the three-point line. He felt online tonight and directly pulled Jokic out, plus Barnes With Iguodala's two bottom corners, Curry and Thompson's air-cut counterruns will be greater than Deron and Gordon's.

In the first round just up, Curry caught the ball and scored with a throw.

"Position number four shrinks." Tang Tian continued to remind from the sidelines.

Deron advanced to the frontcourt and directly signaled Jokic to drop down.

Five players on the Nets have three-pointers, and they have a great sense of space after being opened up.

Jokic received the ball with his back to Green, saw that the weak side was not helping, turned around and hit the basket.

Green is very powerful and can fight against the centers of many teams. This is one of the reasons why he can become a five-small center, and it is also where he is better than Love.

But Jokic is a different kind. His strength is not strong, and his low-post offense is more of a technical flow. Although the continuous turns at this moment did not completely shake off Green, he is tall and powerful. After finding the angle, he is still in Green. Scored the ball over the head.

Overcoming rigidity with softness, Green's advantages cannot be brought into play when facing Jokic.

The Warriors attacked the frontcourt and continued Green's possession of the ball at the top of the circle.

But at this time, the Nets made adjustments and made changes. Yi Jianlian directly received the basket to protect the penalty area, and once again emptied Barnes.

After Curry received the ball and flicked the pass, Barnes had a three-point chance in the bottom corner.

After the opening, he failed to enter the open space 3 times in a row. He was obviously a little hesitant at the moment. He waited until he heard Green yelling at the top of the circle before aiming at the frame.

In addition to shooting skills, mentality also has a great impact. Barnes's shot was obviously crooked, sliding out of the edge of the basket, and was rushed by Butler.

After the opening, Barnes missed 4 open three-pointers in a row!

When the camera was shown on his face, he had a look of annoyance, which broke his mentality.

Cole called Brandon Rush up after seeing it and asked him to come on and replace Barnes.

Rush has a one-handed three-pointer, but his defense is worse than Curry. The Nets attacked the frontcourt. Butler cut the ball and directly threw off his two-handed dunk to score. It also caused Iguodala to defend. foul.

Butler made an additional free throw, and the Nets' lead has reached double digits.

The fans at the scene were dumbfounded at the moment.

Even against the Thunder, they didn't see the Warriors playing so embarrassingly.

The Nets are like knowing all the weaknesses of the Warriors, and then put them under a magnifying glass, infinitely magnified.

The touch of the Warriors' role players has never been found, and sporadic goals have little impact on the trend of the game.

At the end of the game, Curry wanted to turn on the plug-in mode to force a three-pointer, but he had to say that the consecutive injuries against the Rockets had a great impact on him. After several unsuccessful attempts, the Warriors completely lost their turn Chance of the game.

In the end, the Nets defeated the Warriors 98 to 83 in the away game and won the first victory of the finals.

The result of the game was beyond the expectations of most people.

What makes people even more unexpected is the score of the game, 83 points, which is the Warriors' new low in this year's playoffs.

Even in the previous tiebreaker against the Thunder, they scored close to 100 points, but this time they did not exceed 90 points.

This is the Warriors known for their offense. They averaged 115 points per game this season!

Curry made 4 of 15 shots, Thompson made 4 of 12 shots, and the two made 3 of 13 three-pointers combined.

But the real reason for the Warriors to play the lowest score is not them, but other role players.

Both Curry and Thompson's shots and percentages speak for themselves against the highest level of defensive intensity, and to do so there must have been a lot of double-teaming, where other role players get more chances than they do much.

But Barnes made 1 of 10 shots and 0 of 6 three-pointers. Rush made 1 of 4 shots. Iguodala made 3 of 8 shots. Barbosa made 2 of 6 shots. Except for scoring 20 points in 3 and playing normally, everyone else is completely out of shape.

With such a performance, it is no wonder that the Warriors will hit a new low in scoring.

Tang Tian made the right bet with the Nets.

Losing the first game in a record low way, the Warriors suffered verbal criticism from fans, especially Barnes, who scored 4 points in 1 of 10, and was flooded with saliva.

This season is his contract year. With his strength and talent, and the fact that his rookie contract has just ended, a maximum-salary renewal contract is inevitable, but the performance in the first game of the finals made the fans very dissatisfied.

It is foreseeable that if they continue to play like this, the Warriors really have to weigh it when they renew their contract in the summer.

The fans of the Warriors were depressed, but the Nets' victory over the strong also attracted cheers from the Nets fans.

In the post-match press conference, Tang Tian did not forget to add fuel to the fire.

"Coach, are you surprised that the team won the game?" The reporter asked like this. The reason why she asked this question was because they were surprised. Most of them didn't think the Blue Nets could win the away game. Contest.

"No." Tang Tian shook his head.

"When I played against the Warriors in the regular season, I said that we will prepare for the possible series, and the result of the game shows that we have prepared well." Just when the reporters in the audience looked puzzled, Tang Tian Said lightly with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, the reporters in the audience were stunned for a moment, and then shook their heads with wry smiles.

Tang Tian did say this, it was in the last game of the regular season when he was playing in midfield for the Warriors, when the reporter asked if the Nets were playing so hard because they didn’t want the Warriors to win 74, Tang Tian said that. .

Because the implication of those words is that the Nets can enter the finals, which caused a lot of discussion among fans at that time.

It's just that after two months, many fans had forgotten about it. Tang Tian brought it up again after winning the opening game of the finals.
