The Godfather of Basketball

Chapter 719 Death Five (5/5!)

He pretended to be aggressive, but Tang Tian was not complacent just because he won the first game, and it could even be said that he was more serious than before the series started.

"The last game has passed, the Warriors did not show their strength, they will not always be like this, we have to be more focused than the first game."

Tang Tian kept reminding his players during the training session.

Winning the first win on the road greatly boosted morale, but it was only a victory. It would be really stupid to despise the Warriors.

But at this time, a more interesting thing happened. After losing the first game, Cole also conducted closed training.

Although the game has not yet started, Cole really showed weakness this time.

After three days of rest, the second game of the finals continued at Oracle Arena.

The scene is still packed, and a loss in a game will not dispel the enthusiasm of the Bay Area fans. They also believe that the home team will make adjustments immediately. After all, this Warriors team has just created the second-best regular season record in history.

Before the game, the live camera also captured a special figure.

Kevin Durant.

The core of the Thunder team also came to the scene to watch the finals.

If it hadn't been reversed 1 to 3, he should have appeared on the schedule instead of the audience now.

And it is a little sensitive that although it is basically impossible to leave the Thunder now, Durant's contract with the Thunder has expired and he is now a completely free agent.

After the opening ceremony, the starting players of the two teams appeared one after another.

The Warriors made adjustments in the starting lineup, and Cole directly offered five small lineups at the beginning.

It seems that during this period of closed training, the small lineup is the focus of their training.

The Nets are still the regular starting lineup.

Yi Jianlian jumped and beat Green, and the Nets went first.

After Deron advanced to the frontcourt, he directly signaled Jokic to play Green in a low position.

As soon as Jokic received the ball, Iguodala came back from the weak side.

Jokic flicked the pass, butler caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

"Shua!"

Butler is not the Butler in his previous life. He started his career with the Cavaliers, and his three-point accuracy is a notch higher than in his previous life.

The Nets actually have no three-pointers in this lineup on the court, and the Warriors' five minor defenses, the most powerful defense rotation, can't play an advantage.

Tang Tian created the strongest opponent James for himself in the Cavaliers, and also developed a three-point enhanced version of Butler for himself in the Nets.

The Warriors advanced to the frontcourt, and Green mentioned the pick-and-roll from beyond the three-point line.

The Nets continued to double-team Curry, and Curry passed the ball to Green.

Green's advantage over Bogut is that he moves faster, and his passing vision and ability are not bad.

He flicked the ball to Barnes in the corner, who got an open three-pointer.

Barnes directly catches the ball and shoots.

"Shua!"

Three points hit the net.

His shot was decisive and he could feel his confidence coming back.

It seems that the Warriors coaching staff has done enough psychological work on him these days.

Barnes' three-pointer represented a signal. As Tang Tian said before, it is impossible for the Warriors' role players to lose their touch all the time.

The 73 wins depended not only on the two Splash players, but also on their role players.

The Nets' frontcourt offense, Iguodala continued to shrink, Jokic played the ball very quickly, but Iguodala was obviously wary, and successfully returned to defense when he pinched Jokic's ball. .

Iguodala's offense and defense are top-notch. He was the head of the team during the 76ers period. Before joining the Warriors, he was also the core of the team in the Nuggets. Last year's defending James and winning the FMVP proved his current excellent defensive strength.

Butler gave the ball to Jokic again, Jokic hit Green with his back, turned to the free throw line to deceive Green, and then turned back to prepare to hit the board.

"Snapped!"

But as soon as he turned back, Iguodala broke the ball.

The Warriors immediately played a fast break, Curry, Thompson, and Barnes' three-line fast break.

Thompson finally got a comfortable shot on the right, catching and shooting a three-pointer.

"Shua!"

The hand rises and the knife falls.

6 to 3.

The small lineup of the Warriors made them play a completely different state from the first game.

Tang Tian turned around and called Booker up.

After all, Jokic is only in the second grade, and he has great advantages inside and outside the ordinary team, but against a team like the Warriors, his offensive and defensive strengths need to be improved, and he has no experience in playing small lineups. Going down is not good for the Nets.

Deron held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, handing the ball to Jokic to respond from outside the three-point line.

The Warriors have a very fast rotation in the fifth round, and the Nets don't have a good chance.

Deron directly came out to catch the ball and eat Curry alone. As soon as he went in, Iguodala's defense came over. Fortunately, he had a strong sense of protection, and he put the ball in his arms, creating Iguodala's pull foul.

The game entered a dead ball, Booker came on to replace Jokic, and the Nets also played a small lineup.

The frontcourt sideline ball was sent out, and Deron held the ball at the top of the arc to organize.

Yi Jianlian put up the pick-and-roll, Deron broke the ball and then rushed to the basket, the Warriors also double-teamed, he looked back and passed the ball to Yi Jianlian.

However, the Warriors returned to defense very quickly, and Yi Jianlian put the ball on Barnes.

There was not much time left in the attack. Yi Jianlian broke through Barnes with the ball and made the latter's thug.

There was booing.

Tang Tian also frowned.

The Warriors' defensive rotation was too fast, and with Yi Jianlian's inability to respond, the ball was already killed before Yi Jianlian had a chance, and it was entirely his own ability to cheat a foul in the end.

I knew about the Death Five in my previous life, and I have also been in contact with them in the regular season, but it is really difficult to deal with it when I really try my best in the playoffs.

Yi Jianlian made two free throws, breaking the Nets' scoring drought.

Curry advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball directly to Green. Green organized the ball at the top of the circle. He and Thompson then started running without the ball.

The Nets' defense is very good, they change every time they meet, and don't give Splash a chance.

But when they were all focused on Splash, Iguodala suddenly ran back and cut in after the pick-and-roll. Green flicked the pass, and Iguodala directly dunked with one hand.

The emotions of the fans at the scene were ignited at once.

This is the Warriors they know!

In the first game, it was just their home team taking a nap!

"I have to say that the Nets' performance in the first game exceeded our expectations. This is only the second game in the series, which has forced the Warriors to use their best death five, but I have to say that the Warriors The death of the team is really incomprehensible, they defeated the Cavaliers last year with this, and they will also beat the Nets this year.” Reggie Miller from ESPN couldn’t help but sigh with emotion at the sidelines.
